(a) To secure to Lender the repayment of the Indebtedness, and all renewals, extensions and modifications thereof, and the performance of the covenants and agreements of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges, assigns, and grants to Lender a continuing security interest in the UCC Collateral. This Security Instrument constitutes a security agreement and a financing statement under the UCC. This Security Instrument also constitutes a financing statement pursuant to the terms of the UCC with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property that is or may become a Fixture under applicable law, and will be recorded as a “fixture filing” in accordance with the UCC. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file financing statements, continuation statements and financing statement amendments in such form as Lender may require to perfect or continue the perfection of this security interest without the signature of Borrower. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under the UCC or otherwise provided at law or in equity, in addition to all remedies provided by this Security Instrument and in any Loan Document. Lender may exercise any or all of its remedies against the UCC Collateral separately or together, and in any order, without in any way affecting the availability or validity of Lender’s other remedies. For purposes of the UCC, the debtor is Borrower and the secured party is Lender. The name and address of the debtor and secured party are set forth above which are the addresses from which information on the security interest may be obtained.

(c) All property of every kind acquired by Borrower after the date of this Security Instrument which by the terms of this Security Instrument shall be subject to the lien and the security interest created hereby, shall immediately upon the acquisition thereof by Borrower and without further conveyance or assignment become subject to the lien and security interest created by this Security Instrument. Nevertheless, Borrower shall execute, acknowledge, deliver and record or file, as appropriate, all and every such further deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, security agreements, financing statements, assignments and assurances as Lender shall require for accomplishing the purposes of this Security Instrument and to comply with the rerecording requirements of the UCC.

4. Assignment of Leases and Rents; Appointment of Receiver; Lender in Possession.

(a) As part of the consideration for the Indebtedness, Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Lender all Leases and Rents. It is the intention of Borrower to establish present, absolute and irrevocable transfers and assignments to Lender of all Leases and Rents and to authorize and empower Lender to collect and receive all Rents without the necessity of further action on the part of Borrower. Borrower and Lender intend the assignments of Leases and Rents to be effective immediately and to constitute absolute present assignments, and not assignments for additional security only. Only for purposes of giving effect to these absolute assignments of Leases and Rents, and for no other purpose, the Leases and Rents shall not be deemed to be a part of the Mortgaged Property. However, if these present, absolute and unconditional assignments of Leases and Rents are not enforceable by their terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then each of the Leases and Rents shall be included as part of the Mortgaged Property, and it is the intention of Borrower, in such circumstance, that this Security Instrument create and perfect a lien on each of the Leases and Rents in favor of Lender, which liens shall be effective as of the date of this Security Instrument.

(b) Until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but subject to the limitations set forth in the Loan Documents, Borrower shall have a revocable license to exercise all rights, power and authority granted to Borrower under the Leases (including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any Lease, extend or terminate any Lease, or enter into new Leases, subject to the limitations set forth in the Loan Documents), and to collect and receive all Rents, to hold all Rents in trust for the benefit of Lender, and to apply all Rents to pay the Loan and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including Imposition Deposits, and to pay the current costs and expenses of managing, operating and maintaining the Mortgaged Property, including utilities and Impositions (to the extent not included in Imposition Deposits), tenant improvements and other capital expenditures. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), the Rents remaining after application pursuant to the preceding sentence may be retained and distributed by Borrower free and clear of, and released from, Lender’s rights with respect to Rents under this Security Instrument.

(c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Mortgaged Property directly, by a receiver, or by any other manner or proceeding permitted by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, the revocable license granted to Borrower pursuant to Section 4(b) shall automatically terminate, and Lender shall immediately have all rights, powers and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease (including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease) and, without notice, Lender shall be entitled to all Rents as they become due and payable, including Rents then due and unpaid. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Lender to collect, xxx for and compromise Rents and directs each tenant of the Mortgaged Property to pay all Rents to, or as directed by, Lender, and Borrower shall, upon Borrower’s receipt of any Rents from any sources, pay the total amount of such receipts to Lender. Although the foregoing rights of Lender are self-effecting, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may make demand for all Rents, and Lender may give, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to give, notice to all tenants of the Mortgaged Property instructing them to pay all Rents to Lender. No tenant shall be obligated to inquire further as to the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, and no tenant shall be obligated to pay to Borrower any amounts that are actually paid to Lender in response to such a notice. Any such notice by Lender shall be delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit.

(d) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security or the solvency of Borrower, and even in the absence of waste, enter upon, take and maintain full control of the Mortgaged Property, and may exclude Borrower and its agents and employees therefrom, in order to perform all acts that Lender, in its discretion, determines to be necessary or desirable for the operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, including the execution, cancellation or modification of Leases, the collection of all Rents (including through use of a lockbox, at Lender’s election), the making of repairs to the Mortgaged Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management, operation or maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, for the purposes of enforcing this assignment of Rents, protecting the Mortgaged Property or the security of this Security Instrument and the Loan, or for such other purposes as Lender in its discretion may deem necessary or desirable.

(e) Notwithstanding any other right provided Lender under this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security or Borrower’s solvency, and without the necessity of giving prior notice (oral or written) to Borrower, Lender may apply to any court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property to take any or all of the actions set forth in Section 4. If Lender elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, by its execution of this Security Instrument, expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver, including the appointment of a receiver ex parte, if permitted by applicable law. Borrower consents to shortened time consideration of a motion to appoint a receiver. Lender or the receiver, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for managing the Mortgaged Property and such fee shall become an additional part of the Indebtedness. Immediately upon appointment of a receiver or Lender’s entry upon and taking possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, possession of the Mortgaged Property and all documents, records (including records on electronic or magnetic media), accounts, surveys, plans, and specifications relating to the Mortgaged Property, and all security deposits and prepaid Rents, shall be surrendered to Lender or the receiver, as applicable. If Lender or receiver takes possession and control of the Mortgaged Property, Lender or receiver may exclude Borrower and its representatives from the Mortgaged Property.

(f) The acceptance by Lender of the assignments of the Leases and Rents pursuant to this Section 4 shall not at any time or in any event obligate Lender to take any action under any Loan Document or to expend any money or to incur any expense. Lender shall not be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any Person in, on or about the Mortgaged Property. Prior to Lender’s actual entry upon and taking possession and control of the Land and Improvements, Lender shall not be:

(1) obligated to perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any Lease (or otherwise have any obligation with respect to any Lease);

(2) obligated to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to any Lease or the Mortgaged Property; or

(3) responsible for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of the Mortgaged Property.

The execution of this Security Instrument shall constitute conclusive evidence that all responsibility for the operation, control, care, management and repair of the Mortgaged Property is and shall be that of Borrower, prior to such actual entry and taking possession and control by Lender of the Land and Improvements.

(g) Lender shall be liable to account only to Borrower and only for Rents actually received by Lender. 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 any act or omission of Lender under this Section 4, and Borrower hereby releases and discharges Lender from any such liability to the fullest extent permitted by law, provided that Lender shall not be released from liability that occurs as a result of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final, non-appealable court order. If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall be added to, and become a part of, the principal balance of the Indebtedness, be immediately due and payable, and bear interest at any default rate from the date of disbursement until fully paid. Any entering upon and taking control of the Mortgaged Property by Lender or the receiver, and any application of Rents as provided in this Security Instrument, shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided for in this Security Instrument or any Loan Document.

5. Reserved.

6. Protection of Lender’s Security.

If Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations under the Note, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, or any action or proceeding is commenced that purports to affect the Mortgaged Property, Lender’s security, rights or interests under this Security Instrument or any Loan Document (including eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, civil or criminal forfeiture, enforcement of Environmental Laws, fraudulent conveyance or reorganizations or proceedings involving a debtor or decedent), Lender may, at its option, make such appearances, disburse or pay such sums and take such actions, whether before or after an Event of Default or whether directly or to any receiver for the Mortgaged Property, as Lender reasonably deems necessary to perform such obligations of Borrower and to protect the Mortgaged Property or Lender’s security, rights or interests in the Mortgaged Property or the Loan Documents, including:

(a) paying fees and out-of-pocket expenses of attorneys, accountants, inspectors and consultants;

(b) entering upon the Mortgaged Property to make repairs or secure the Mortgaged Property;

(d) paying any amounts required under any of the Loan Documents related to the Note that Borrower has failed to pay.

Any amounts so disbursed or paid by Lender shall be added to, and become part of, the principal balance of the Indebtedness, be immediately due and payable and bear interest at any default rate from the date of disbursement until fully paid. The provisions of this Section 5 shall not be deemed to obligate or require Lender to incur any expense or take any action.

7. Default; Acceleration; Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender, at its option, may declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without further demand, and may either with or without entry or taking possession as herein provided or otherwise, proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity or any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (1) to enforce payment of the Loan; (2) to foreclose this Security Instrument judicially or non-judicially by the power of sale granted herein; (3) to enforce or exercise any right under any Loan Document; and (4) to pursue any one (1)or more other remedies provided in this Security Instrument or in any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law. Each right and remedy provided in this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document is distinct from all other rights or remedies under this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document or otherwise afforded by applicable law, and each shall be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order. Borrower has the right to bring an action to assert the nonexistence of an Event of Default or any other defense of Borrower to acceleration and sale.

(b) Borrower acknowledges that the power of sale granted in this Security Instrument may be exercised or directed by Lender without prior judicial hearing and hereby appoints Lender as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact to exercise such power of sale in the name and on behalf of Borrower. In the event Lender invokes the power of sale:

(1) Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Lender to take possession of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and hereby grants to Lender a power of sale and authorizes and empowers Lender to sell (or, in the case of the default of any purchaser, to resell) the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, in compliance with applicable law, including compliance with any and all notice and timing requirements for such sale;

(2) Lender may sell and dispose of the Mortgaged Property at public auction, at the usual place for conducting sales at the courthouse in the county where all or any part of the Mortgaged Property is 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 (4) consecutive weeks (without regard to the actual number of days) in a newspaper in which serves as the official publication of legal notices and advertisements in such county, all other notice being waived by Borrower; and Lender may thereupon execute and deliver to the purchaser a sufficient instrument of conveyance of the Mortgaged Property, which may contain recitals as to the happening of the Event of Default upon which the execution of the power of sale granted by this Section 6 depends. The recitals in the instrument of conveyance shall be presumptive evidence that Lender duly complied with all preliminary acts prerequisite to the sale and instrument of conveyance. Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact to make such recitals, sale and conveyance;

(3) the power and agency granted in this Section 6 are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable by death or otherwise, and are in addition to the remedies for collection of the Indebtedness as provided by law. Borrower ratifies all of Lender’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 Lender (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 Mortgaged Property; and

(4) the Mortgaged Property may be sold in one (1) parcel and as an entirety, or in such parcels, manner or order as Lender, in its discretion, may elect, and one (1) or more exercises of the powers granted in this Section 6 shall not extinguish or exhaust the power unless the entire Mortgaged Property is sold or the Indebtedness is paid in full, and Lender shall collect the proceeds of such sale, applying such proceeds as provided in this Section 6. In the event of a deficiency, Borrower shall immediately on demand from Lender pay such deficiency to Lender, subject to the provisions of the Note limiting Borrower’s personal liability for payment of the Indebtedness. Borrower waives all rights, claims, and defenses with respect to Lender’s ability to obtain a deficiency judgment. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may bid for and purchase the Mortgaged Property at any foreclosure sale and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Indebtedness as a credit to the purchase price.

(c) If the Mortgaged Property is sold pursuant to this Section 6, Borrower, or any person holding possession of the Mortgaged Property through Borrower, shall surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property 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.

(d) Borrower covenants and agrees that Lender shall apply the proceeds of any sale in the following order:

(1) to all reasonable costs and expenses of the sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs associated with title evidence and the reasonable cost of such other professionals who provided services in connection with the sale or establishing a deficiency, if any;

(2) to the Indebtedness in such order as Lender, in Lender’s discretion, directs; and

(3) the excess, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled to the excess.

(e) In connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Security Instrument and any other Loan Document, there shall be allowed and included as Indebtedness: (1) all expenditures and expenses authorized by applicable law and all other expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Lender for reasonable legal fees, appraisal fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographic charges and publication costs; (2) all expenses of any environmental site assessments, environmental audits, environmental remediation costs, appraisals, surveys, engineering studies, wetlands delineations, flood plain studies, and any other similar testing or investigation deemed necessary or advisable by Lender incurred in preparation for, contemplation of or in connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents; and (3) costs (which may be reasonably estimated as to items to be expended in connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents) of procuring all abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurance with respect to title as Lender may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute any suit or to evidence the true conditions of the title to or the value of the Mortgaged Property to bidders at any sale which may be held in connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. All expenditures and expenses of the nature mentioned in this Section 6 and such other expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Mortgaged Property and rents and income therefrom and the maintenance of the lien of this Security Instrument, including the fees of any attorney employed by Lender in any litigation or proceedings affecting this Security Instrument, the Note, the other Loan Documents, or the Mortgaged Property, including bankruptcy proceedings, any Foreclosure Event, or in preparation of the commencement or defense of any proceedings or threatened suit or proceeding, or otherwise in dealing specifically therewith, shall be so much additional Indebtedness and shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower, with interest thereon at any default rate until paid.

(f) Any action taken by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 shall comply with the laws of the Property Jurisdiction. Such applicable laws shall take precedence over the provisions of this Section 6, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of any Loan Document that can be construed in a manner consistent with any applicable law. If any provision of this Security Instrument shall grant to Lender (including Lender acting as a mortgagee-in-possession) or a receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument any powers, rights or remedies prior to, upon, during the continuance of or following an Event of Default that are more limited than the powers, rights, or remedies that would otherwise be vested in such party under any applicable law in the absence of said provision, such party shall be vested with the powers, rights, and remedies granted in such applicable law to the full extent permitted by law.

8. Waiver of Statute of Limitations and Marshaling.

Borrower hereby waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien of this Security Instrument or to any action brought to enforce any Loan Document. Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the Mortgaged Property held by Lender or by any other party, Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Mortgaged Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Security Instrument and/or any other Loan Document or by applicable law. Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all portions of the Indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of such remedies. Borrower, for itself and all who may claim by, through, or under it, and any party who now or in the future acquires a security interest in the Mortgaged Property and who has actual or constructive notice of this Security Instrument waives any and all right to require the marshaling of assets or to require that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in the inverse order of alienation or that any of the Mortgaged Property be sold in parcels (at the same time or different times) in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies provided in this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, or afforded by applicable law.

9. Waiver of Redemption; Rights of Tenants.

(a) Subject, in any event, to Section 12(c) hereof, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time apply for, insist upon, plead, avail itself, or in any manner claim or take any advantage of, any appraisement, stay, exemption or extension law or any so-called “Moratorium Law” now or at any time hereafter enacted or in force in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Security Instrument. Without limiting the foregoing:

(1) Borrower for itself and all Persons who may claim by, through, or under Borrower, hereby expressly waives any so-called “Moratorium Law” and any and all rights of reinstatement and redemption, if any, under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Security Instrument, it being the intent hereof that any and all such “Moratorium Laws,” and all rights of reinstatement and redemption of Borrower and of all other Persons claiming by, through, or under Borrower are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; and

(2) Borrower shall not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any right, power or remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to Lender but will suffer and permit the execution of every such right, power and remedy as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.

(b) Lender shall have the right to foreclose subject to the rights of any tenant or tenants of the Mortgaged Property having an interest in the Mortgaged Property prior to that of Lender. The failure to join any such tenant or tenants of the Mortgaged Property as party defendant or defendants in any such civil action or the failure of any decree of foreclosure and sale to foreclose their rights shall not be asserted by Borrower as a defense in any civil action instituted to collect the Indebtedness, or any part thereof or any deficiency remaining unpaid after foreclosure and sale of the Mortgaged Property, any statute or rule of law at any time existing to the contrary notwithstanding.

10. Notice.

(a) All notices under this Security Instrument shall be:

(1) in writing, and shall be (A) delivered, in person, (B) mailed, postage prepaid, either by registered or certified delivery, return receipt requested, or (C) sent by overnight express courier;

(2) addressed to the intended recipient at its respective address set forth above; and

(3) deemed given on the earlier to occur of:

(A) the date when the notice is received by the addressee; or

(B) if the recipient refuses or rejects delivery, the date on which the notice is so refused or rejected, as conclusively established by the records of the United States Postal Service or such express courier service.

(b) Any party to this Security Instrument may change the address to which notices intended for it are to be directed by means of notice given to the other party in accordance with this Section 9.

(c) Any required notice under this Security Instrument which does not specify how notices are to be given shall be given in accordance with this Section 10.

11. Mortgagee-in-Possession.

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender of any of the rights conferred in this Security Instrument shall not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Mortgaged Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Land and Improvements.

12. Release and Reconveyance.

Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness, Lender shall cause the release of this Security Instrument and the reconveyance of the Mortgaged Property to Borrower, and Borrower shall pay Lender’s costs incurred in connection with such release and reconveyance.

13. Georgia State Specific Provisions.

(a) 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, marshaling 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 Mortgaged Property, 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 Mortgaged Property.

(b) This Security Instrument secures future advances.

(c) This conveyance is intended to and shall constitute and be construed as (1) a deed passing fee title to the Mortgaged Property to Lender, and is made under those provisions of the existing laws of the State of Georgia (O.C.G.A. Section 44-14-60 et seq.) relating to conveyances and deeds to secure debt (a/k/a “security deed”), and not a mortgage, and is given to secure the payment and performance of the Indebtedness, and (2) a security agreement pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of Georgia, Title 11 of the Official Code of Georgia. Moreover, use of the terms “Mortgaged Property,” whether in this Security Instrument or in any other Loan Document, shall not be construed to mean that this Security Instrument is a mortgage.

(d) Lender’s acceptance, if any, of an assumption of the obligations of this Security Instrument and the Note, and the release of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement, shall not constitute a novation and shall not affect the priority of the lien created by this Security Instrument.

(e) The interest of Lender under this Security Instrument and the liability and obligation of Borrower for the Indebtedness arise from a “commercial transaction” within the meaning of O.C.G.A. Section 44-14-260(1). Accordingly, pursuant to O.C.G.A. Section 00-00-000, Borrower waives any and all rights which Borrower may have to notice (other than as may be expressly provided for herein) prior to seizure by Lender of any interest in personal property of Borrower which constitutes part of the Mortgaged Property, whether such seizure is by writ of possession or otherwise.

(f) In all events where Borrower may be obligated to pay all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in connection with the Loan Documents, “reasonable attorneys’ fees” or words of similar import shall in all events mean reasonable attorneys’ fees, actually incurred, without the application of the statutory presumption established by the O.C.G.A. Section 13-1-11.

(g) Pursuant to O.C.G.A. Section 44-14-80, the parties to this Security Instrument intend to establish and do hereby establish a perpetual or indefinite security interest in the Mortgaged Property.

(h) Wherever the word “lien” is used with respect to the encumbrance effected by this Security Instrument, such as in the phrase “the lien of this Security Instrument,” or words of similar import, such word shall mean and be a reference to the “lien and security title” of this Security Instrument.

14. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue.

With respect to procedural matters related to the perfection of Lender’s lien, to the enforcement of Lender’s remedies hereunder, or to non-waivable provisions of the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, this Security Instrument shall be governed by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction without giving effect to any choice of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. In all other respects, this Security Instrument shall be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee without giving effect to any choice of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, should there be a question as to whether any provision of this Security Instrument is void, voidable, or unenforceable by applicable of the laws of the State of Tennessee, then such provision in question shall be governed by the laws of the Property Jurisdiction without giving effect to any choice of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Borrower agrees that any controversy arising under this Security Instrument shall be litigated, in Lender’s sole discretion, exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the Property Jurisdiction or in Knoxville, Xxxx County, Tennessee. Borrower irrevocably consents to service, jurisdiction, and venue of such courts for any such litigation and waives any other venue to which it might be entitled by virtue of domicile, habitual residence or otherwise.

15. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) This Security Instrument shall bind, and the rights granted by this Security Instrument shall benefit, the successors and assigns of Lender. This Security Instrument shall bind, and the obligations granted by this Security Instrument shall inure to, any permitted successors and assigns of Borrower under the Loan Agreement. If more than one (1) person or entity signs this Security Instrument as Borrower, the obligations of such persons and entities shall be joint and several. The relationship between Lender and Borrower shall be solely that of creditor and debtor, respectively, and nothing contained in this Security Instrument shall create any other relationship between Lender and Borrower. No creditor of any party to this Security Instrument and no other person shall be a third party beneficiary of this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document.

(b) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Security Instrument or of any other Loan Document, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.

This Security Instrument may not be amended or modified except by written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

(1) The captions and headings of the sections of this Security Instrument are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Security Instrument.

(2) Any reference in this Security Instrument to an “Exhibit” or “Schedule” or a “Section” or an “Article” shall, unless otherwise explicitly provided, be construed as referring, respectively, to an exhibit or schedule attached to this Security Instrument or to a Section or Article of this Security Instrument.

(3) Any reference in this Security Instrument to a statute or regulation shall be construed as referring to that statute or regulation as amended from time to time.

(4) Use of the singular in this Security Instrument includes the plural and use of the plural includes the singular.

(5) As used in this Security Instrument, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to” or “including, without limitation,” and is for example only, and not a limitation.

(6) Whenever Borrower’s knowledge is implicated in this Security Instrument or the phrase “to Borrower’s knowledge” or a similar phrase is used in this Security Instrument, Borrower’s knowledge or such phrase(s) shall be interpreted to mean to the best of Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry and investigation.

(7) Unless otherwise provided in this Security Instrument, if Lender’s approval, designation, determination, selection, estimate, action or decision is required, permitted or contemplated hereunder, such approval, designation, determination, selection, estimate, action or decision shall be made in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

(8) All references in this Security Instrument to a separate instrument or agreement shall include such instrument or agreement as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time pursuant to the applicable provisions thereof.

(9) “Lender may” shall mean at Lender’s discretion, but shall not be an obligation.

16. Time is of the Essence.

Borrower agrees that, with respect to each and every obligation and covenant contained in this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, time is of the essence.

17. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) (A) COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS BORROWER AND LENDER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.
