If Mortgagor fails to procure and maintain any of the insurance required herein, Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee’s option (without any obligation to do so), obtain such insurance coverage to protect Mortgagee’s interest in the Secured Property as Mortgagee shall so determine in Mortgagee’s sole discretion. Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee upon demand for all costs incurred by Mortgagee hereunder.
(b) Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered, at its option after consulting with Mortgagor and subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable lease or similar agreement, to adjust or compromise any loss under any insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 1.3, and to collect and receive the proceeds from any such policy or policies. Each insurance company is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for all such losses directly to Mortgagee, instead of to Mortgagor and Mortgagee jointly. In the event any insurance company fails to disburse directly and solely to Mortgagee but disburses instead either solely to Mortgagor or to Mortgagor and Mortgagee jointly, Mortgagor agrees immediately to endorse and transfer such proceeds to Mortgagee.

Mortgagee shall not be held responsible for any failure to collect any insurance proceeds due under the terms of any policy regardless of the cause of such failure.
7 |
(c) At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of each policy maintained pursuant to this Section 1.3, a renewal or replacement insurance certificate reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee shall be delivered to Mortgagee. Upon receipt of written request of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee receipts evidencing the payment for all such insurance policies and renewals or replacements.
Section 1.4 Taxes and Other Charges. Except as otherwise provided by the Loan Agreement, Mortgagor shall pay and discharge prior to the delinquency date thereof all taxes of every kind and nature, all water charges, sewer rents and assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees, and all other charges imposed upon or assessed against the Secured Property or any part thereof or upon the revenues, rents, issues, income, and profits of the Secured Property and, unless Mortgagor is making monthly deposits with Mortgagee in accordance with Section 1.11 hereof, Mortgagor shall exhibit to Mortgagee validated receipts (or other commercially reasonable evidence of payment) showing the payment of such taxes, assessments, water charges, sewer rents, levies, fees, and other charges which may be or become a lien on the Secured Property within ten (10) days after Mortgagee’s request therefor.

In the event Mortgagor fails to make payment of such claims and demands, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, make payment thereof, and all sums so expended shall be secured by this Instrument, and Mortgagor shall, within ten (10) days following receipt of reasonably detailed written demand therefor, reimburse Mortgagee for all sums so expended.
Section 1.6 Condemnation Awards. Mortgagor, promptly after receipt of written notice of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Secured Property or any portion thereof, will notify Mortgagee of the pendency of such proceedings. Mortgagee may participate in any such proceedings and Mortgagor from time to time will deliver to Mortgagee all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. All awards and compensation for condemnation or other taking or purchase in lieu thereof, of the Secured Property or any part thereof, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to collect and receive such awards and compensation and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor. Unless otherwise approved by Mortgagee, all such awards and compensation shall be applied in the manner as provided in Section 3.14 of this Instrument. Mortgagor, upon request by Mortgagee, shall make, execute, and deliver any and all instruments requested for the purpose of confirming the assignment of the aforesaid awards and compensation to Mortgagee free and clear of any liens, charges, or encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever.

Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to the extent that it lawfully may, all right to have the Secured Property marshaled upon any foreclosure hereof.

Section 1.10 Intangible and Other Taxes. Mortgagor shall pay any and all taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises, and levies imposed upon Mortgagee by reason of its ownership of this Instrument and the other Loan Documents, or by reason of the recording or filing thereof, or any security instrument supplemental hereto, any security instrument or Uniform Commercial Code financing statement with respect to any fixtures or personal property owned by Mortgagor at the Secured Property and any instrument of further assurance (other than income, franchise and doing business taxes), and shall pay all stamp or intangible taxes and other taxes required to be paid on any of the Loan Documents except any taxes or fees in connection with Mortgagee’s sale or assignment of any Loan Documents.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the repayment of the Secured Indebtedness.
Section 1.11 Escrow Deposits. Mortgagor shall deposit with Mortgagee, monthly, one twelfth (1/12th) of the insurance premiums and real estate taxes, assessments, water, sewer, and other charges which might become a lien upon the Secured Property. In addition, Mortgagor shall simultaneously therewith deposit with Mortgagee a sum of money which together with the monthly installments aforementioned will be sufficient to make each of the payments aforementioned at least thirty (30) days prior to the date such payments are deemed delinquent. Should said charges not be ascertainable at the time any deposit is required to be made with Mortgagee, the deposit shall be made on the basis of the charges for the prior year, and when the charges are fixed for the then current year, Mortgagor shall deposit any deficiency with Mortgagee. All funds so deposited with Mortgagee shall be held by it without interest, may be commingled by Mortgagee with its general funds and shall be applied in payment of the charges aforementioned when and as payable, to the extent the funds deposited are sufficient. If deposits are being made with Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee with bills for the charges for which such deposits are required to be made hereunder and/or such other documents necessary for the payment of same, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the charges first become payable. In the event Mortgagor fails to pay any such amount, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, make payment thereof, and Mortgagor shall, on demand, reimburse Mortgagee for all sums so expended, and until Mortgagee has been so reimbursed, such amount shall be added to the Secured Indebtedness.
Section 1.12 Transfer of the Secured Property. Mortgagor hereby acknowledges to Mortgagee that (a) the identity and expertise of Mortgagor were and continue to be material circumstances upon which Mortgagee has relied in connection with, and which constitute valuable consideration to Mortgagee for, the extending to Mortgagor of the Secured Indebtedness and (b) except as otherwise permitted in the Loan Documents, any change in such identity or expertise could materially impair or jeopardize the security for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness granted to Mortgagee by this Instrument. Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees with Mortgagee, as part of the consideration for the extending to Mortgagor of the Secured Indebtedness, that, except as permitted under the Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall not encumber, pledge, convey, transfer or assign any or all of its interest in the Secured Property without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, and, if Mortgagor is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other artificial entity, there shall be no encumbrance, pledge, conveyance, transfer or assignment of any legal or beneficial interest whatsoever in Mortgagor or in any entity comprising Mortgagor. Such consent of Mortgagee may be given or withheld by Mortgagee at its sole discretion. The consent by Mortgagee to any sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, creation of a security interest in, or other hypothecation of, any portion of the Secured Property shall not be deemed to constitute a novation or a consent to any further sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, creation of a security interest in or other hypothecation, or to waive the right of Mortgagee, at its option, to declare the Secured Indebtedness immediately due and payable, without notice to Mortgagor or any other person or entity, upon any such sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, creation of a security interest or other hypothecation to which Mortgagee shall not have consented.
10 |
Section 1.13 Leases, Contracts, Etc. Mortgagor hereby further agrees as follows:
(a) Mortgagor does hereby assign to Mortgagee, the Leases and Revenues (reserving only to Mortgagor the right to collect currently due and payable Revenues so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder), and Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver to Mortgagee such additional instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, as may hereafter be requested by Mortgagee further to evidence and confirm said assignment; provided, however, that acceptance of any such assignment shall not be construed to impose upon Mortgagee any obligation with respect to any Lease (including, without limitation, any liability under the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in any Lease or in any law of any applicable state in the event that any lessee shall have been joined as a party defendant in any action to foreclose this Instrument and shall have been barred and foreclosed thereby of all right, title, and interest and equity of redemption in the Secured Property). Mortgagor shall not cancel or permit the cancellation of any Lease, or materially modify or amend any Lease affecting the Secured Property, or accept, or permit to be made, any prepayment of any installment of rent or fees thereunder (except for security deposits and the usual prepayment of rent which results from the acceptance by a landlord on or about the first day of each month of the rent for that month). Mortgagor shall faithfully keep and substantially perform, or cause to be kept and performed, all of the material covenants, conditions and agreements contained in each of said instruments, now or hereafter existing, on the part of Mortgagor to be kept and performed and shall at all times do all things reasonably necessary to compel performance by each other party to said instruments of all material obligations, covenants and agreements by such other party to be performed thereunder.

(j) The failure to make any such tenants of the Secured Property party to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted to be by Mortgagor, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Mortgagee to collect the sums secured hereby.

Upon any foreclosure of the Secured Property, it is agreed that the then owner of the Secured Property, if it is the occupant of the Secured Property or any part thereof, shall immediately surrender possession of the Secured Property so occupied to Mortgagee, and if such occupant is permitted to remain in possession, the possession shall be as tenant of Mortgagee and, on demand, such occupant (a) shall pay to Mortgagee monthly, in advance, a reasonable rental for the space so occupied, and (b) in default thereof may be dispossessed by the usual summary proceedings.

Nothing in this Instrument shall affect the obligation of Mortgagor to pay the Secured Indebtedness in the manner and at the time and place expressed in the Loan Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any payment made by Mortgagee for insurance premiums, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rentals or any other charges affecting the Secured Property, shall not constitute a waiver of Mortgagor’s default in making such payments and shall not obligate Mortgagee to make any further payments.
(e) Mortgagee shall have the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor which Mortgagee, in its discretion, feels may adversely affect the Secured Property or this Instrument.

Section 3.9 LEGAL CONSTRUCTION. THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS INSTRUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE LAND IS LOCATED. NOTHING IN THIS INSTRUMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER AGREEMENT AMONG MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE SHALL REQUIRE MORTGAGOR TO PAY, OR MORTGAGEE TO ACCEPT, INTEREST IN AN AMOUNT WHICH WOULD SUBJECT MORTGAGEE TO ANY PENALTY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. IN THE EVENT THAT THE PAYMENT OF ANY INTEREST DUE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY SUCH OTHER AGREEMENT WOULD SUBJECT MORTGAGEE TO ANY PENALTY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THEN AUTOMATICALLY THE OBLIGATIONS OF MORTGAGOR TO MAKE SUCH PAYMENT SHALL BE REDUCED TO THE HIGHEST RATE AUTHORIZED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

In addition, this assignment shall be fully operative without regard to value of the Secured Property or without regard to the adequacy of the Secured Property to serve as security for the obligations owed by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, and shall be in addition to any rights arising under . Further, except for the notices required hereunder, if any, Mortgagor waives any notice of default or demand for turnover of rents by Mortgagee, together with any rights under to apply to a court to deposit the rents into the registry of the court or such other depository as the court may designate.
