Subject to Section 2.22 hereof, should the Secured Obligations secured by this Instrument be paid and performed according to the terms and effect thereof when the same shall become due and payable, and should Grantor perform all covenants contained herein in a timely manner and the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement has terminated, then this Instrument shall be released.
Grantor hereby further covenants and agrees with Agent as follows:
ARTICLE 1
1.01 Payment of Secured Obligations. Grantor will pay and perform or cause to be paid and performed the Secured Obligations according to the tenor thereof and all other sums now or hereafter secured hereby as the same shall become due.
1.02 Funds for Impositions. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall pay to Agent, subject to Agent’s option under Section 1.03 hereof, on the days that monthly installments of interest are payable under the Note, until the Note is paid in full, a sum (hereinafter referred to as the “Funds”) reasonably estimated by Agent to provide an amount necessary for payment of the following items in full fifteen (15) days prior to when such items become due (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Impositions”): (a) the yearly real estate taxes, ad valorem taxes, personal property taxes, assessments and betterments, and (b) the yearly premium installments for the insurance covering the Property and required by the Credit Agreement. The Impositions shall be reasonably estimated initially and from time to time by Agent on the basis of assessments and bills and estimates thereof. The Funds shall be
6
held by Agent in a separate interest bearing account free of any liens or claims on the part of other creditors of Grantor and as part of the security for the Secured Obligations. Grantor shall pay all Impositions prior to delinquency as required by Section 1.03 hereof. In the event Agent elects to reserve Funds as permitted under this Section 1.02, within ten (10) days after Grantor furnishes Agent with reasonably satisfactory evidence that Grantor has paid one or more of the items comprising the Impositions, Agent shall reimburse Grantor (or the one paying the Impositions) therefor to the extent of the Funds (plus accrued interest) then held by Agent. Alternatively, Agent shall apply the Funds to pay the Impositions with respect to which the Funds were paid to the extent of the Funds then held by Agent and provided Grantor has delivered to Agent the assessments or bills therefor. Grantor shall be permitted to pay any Imposition early in order to take advantage of any available discounts. Agent shall make no charge for so holding and applying the Funds or for verifying and compiling said assessments and bills. The Funds are pledged as additional security for the Secured Obligations, and may be applied, at Agent’s option and without notice to Grantor, to the payment of the Secured Obligations upon the occurrence of any Event of Default. If at any time the amount of the Funds held by Agent shall be less than the amount reasonably deemed necessary by Agent to pay Impositions as such become due, Grantor shall pay to Agent any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within fifteen (15) business days after notice from Agent to Grantor requesting payment thereof. Upon payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations and termination of the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans and of Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, Agent shall promptly refund to Grantor any Funds then held by Agent.
1.03 Impositions, Liens and Charges. Grantor shall pay all Impositions and other charges, if any, attributable to the Property prior to delinquency, and at Agent’s option during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall pay in the manner hereafter provided under this Section 1.03. Grantor shall, during continuance of an Event of Default, furnish to Agent all bills and notices of amounts due under Section 1.03 as soon as received, and in the event Grantor shall make payment directly, Grantor shall, as and when available, furnish to Agent receipts evidencing such payments prior to the dates on which such payments are delinquent, subject to Grantor’s right to contest taxes, assessments and other governmental charges as provided in the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall promptly discharge (by bonding, payment or otherwise) any lien filed against the Property or Grantor (including federal tax liens) and will keep and maintain the Property free from the claims of all persons supplying labor or materials to the Property, subject to Grantor’s right to contest the same as provided in the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall not claim or be entitled to any credit against the taxable value of the Property by reason of this Instrument, or any deduction in or credit on the Secured Obligations by reason of Impositions paid.
1.04 Taxes, Liens and Other Charges.
(a) In the event of the passage of any state, federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation, subsequent to the date hereof, in any manner changing or modifying the laws now in force governing the taxation of debts secured by mortgages or the manner of collecting taxes so as to adversely affect Agent or the Lenders, Grantor will promptly pay any such tax. If Grantor fails to make such payment promptly, or if, in the opinion of Agent, any such state, federal, municipal, or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation prohibits Grantor from making such payment or would penalize Agent or the
7
Lenders if Grantor makes such payment or if, in the opinion of Agent, the making of such payment could reasonably result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, then the entire balance of the principal sums secured by this Instrument and all interest accrued thereon shall, at the option of Agent, become immediately due and payable.
(b) Grantor will pay all taxes, liens, assessments and charges of every character including all utility charges, whether public or private, already levied or assessed or that may hereafter be levied or assessed upon or against the Property as required under the Credit Agreement.
1.05 Insurance.
Grantor shall procure for, deliver to and maintain for the benefit of Agent and Lenders the insurance policies described in the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall pay all premiums on such insurance policies. All proceeds of any property or casualty insurance or awards of damages on account of any taking or condemnation for public use of or injury to the Property are hereby assigned and shall be paid to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, subject to Borrower’s and Grantor’s right to adjust certain claims and use such proceeds as provided in the Credit Agreement. Any such proceeds shall be released and advanced to Borrower or Grantor in accordance with and subject to the requirements of the Credit Agreement and be applied to the cost of repairing or restoring the Property or the remaining portion of the Property, with any balance remaining to be applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement. In the event of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Property pursuant to the enforcement of this Instrument, the purchaser of such Property shall succeed to all rights of Grantor, including any rights to the proceeds of insurance and to unearned premiums, in and to all of the policies of insurance. In the event of a foreclosure sale, Agent is hereby authorized, without the further consent of Grantor, to take such steps as Agent may deem advisable to cause the interest of such purchaser to be protected by any of such policies. In case of Grantor’s failure to keep the Property properly insured as required herein, Agent, after notice to Grantor, at its option may (but shall not be required to) acquire such insurance as required herein at Borrower’s and Grantor’s sole expense.
1.06 Condemnation. If all or any portion of the Property shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term when used in this Instrument shall include any damage or taking by any governmental authority or any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), either temporarily or permanently, then all compensation, awards and other payments or relief thereof, shall be paid and applied in accordance with terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement.
1.07 Care, Use and Management of Property.
(a) Grantor will keep, or cause to be kept, the roads and walkways, landscaping and all other Improvements of any kind now or hereafter erected on the Land or any part thereof in good condition and repair, will not commit or suffer any waste, impairment or deterioration (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and will not do or suffer to be done anything which will increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Property or any part thereof.
8
(b) Grantor will not remove or demolish nor alter the structural character of any building located on the Land or any fixtures or personal property relating thereto except when incidental to the replacement of fixtures and personal property with items of like kind and value or customary tenant improvements pursuant to Leases approved or deemed approved pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
(c) If the Property or any part thereof is materially damaged by fire or any other cause, Grantor will give immediate written notice thereof to Agent.
(d) Grantor will promptly comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any governmental authority, all restrictive covenants and other agreements affecting the Property or relating to the operation thereof affecting the Property or any part thereof and all licenses or permits affecting the Property or any part thereof, subject to Grantor’s right to contest the same as provided in the Credit Agreement.
(e) Grantor shall keep the Property, including the Improvements and the Personal Property (as hereinafter defined), in good order, repair and tenantable condition and shall replace fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances on the Property when necessary to keep such items in good order, repair, and tenantable condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted).
(f) Grantor shall keep all franchises, trademarks, trade names, service marks and licenses and permits necessary for the Grantor’s use and occupancy of the Property in good standing and in full force and effect.
(g) Unless required by applicable law or unless Agent has otherwise agreed in writing, Grantor shall not allow changes in the nature of the occupancy or use for which the Property was intended at the time this Instrument was executed. Grantor shall not abandon the Property. Grantor shall not initiate, fail to contest or acquiesce in a change in the zoning classification of the Property or subject the Property to restrictive or negative covenants without Agent’s written consent. Grantor shall comply with, observe and perform all zoning and other laws affecting the Property, all agreements and restrictive covenants affecting the Property, and all licenses and permits affecting the Property, subject to Grantor’s right to contest compliance with laws to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement.
(h) To the extent permitted under the terms of the applicable Leases, Agent may, at Grantor’s expense, make or cause to be made reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property as permitted in the Credit Agreement during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, or at any other time when necessary or appropriate in an emergency circumstance or during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the sole reasonable discretion of Agent, to protect or preserve the Property.
(i) If all or any part of the Property shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or loss, then, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, Grantor will promptly restore the Property to the equivalent of its original condition; and if a part of the Property shall be damaged through condemnation, Grantor will promptly restore, repair or alter the remaining portions of the Property in a manner satisfactory to Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor shall not
9
be obligated to so restore unless, in each instance, Agent agrees to make available to Grantor (subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement) any net insurance or condemnation proceeds actually received by Agent hereunder in connection with such casualty loss or condemnation, to the extent such proceeds are required to defray the expense of such restoration; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the insufficiency of any such insurance or condemnation proceeds to defray the entire expense of restoration shall in no way relieve Grantor of its obligation to restore.
(j) Grantor shall pay all normal and customary operating expenses for the Property as the same become due.
1.08 Leases and other Agreements Affecting Property.
(a) As additional security for the Secured Obligations, Grantor presently and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Agent all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Leases and the Revenues, including those now due, past due or to become due by virtue of any of the Leases for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the assignment of rents hereunder to Agent is intended to be an absolute present assignment of rents pursuant to MCLA 554.231 et seq. and MCLA 565.81 et seq. and that as such, upon the occurrence of a default and without any action by Agent, Grantor shall have no further right to collect or otherwise receive such rents and that such rents will be the absolute and sole property of Agent pursuant to said statute. Grantor hereby authorizes Agent or Agent’s agents to collect the Revenues and hereby directs such tenants, lessees and licensees of the Property to pay the Revenues to Agent or Agent’s agents; provided, however, Grantor shall have a license (revocable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) to collect and receive the Revenues. Grantor agrees that each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property may pay, and hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property to pay, the Revenues to Agent or Agent’s agents on Agent’s written demand therefor (which demand may be made by Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) without any obligation on the part of said tenant, lessee or licensee to inquire as to the existence of an Event of Default and notwithstanding any notice or claim of Grantor to the contrary, and Grantor agrees that Grantor shall have no right or claim against said tenant, lessee or licensee for or by reason of any Revenues paid to Agent following receipt of such written demand. Agent shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies conferred by Act No. 210 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1953 as amended by Act No. 151 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1966 (MCL Section 554.231, et seq.), and Act No. 228 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1925 (MCL Section 554.211, et seq.), and Act No. 66 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1956 (MCL Section 565.81, et seq.).
(b) Grantor hereby covenants that Grantor has not executed any prior assignment of the Leases or the Revenues, that Grantor has not performed, and will not perform, any acts and has not executed, and will not execute, any instruments which would prevent Agent from exercising the rights of the beneficiary of this Instrument, and that at the time of execution of this Instrument, there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the Revenues for more than one (1) month prior to the due dates of such Revenues. Grantor further covenants that Grantor will not hereafter collect or accept payment of any Revenues more than one (1) month prior to the due dates of such Revenues.
10
(c) Grantor agrees that neither the foregoing assignment of Leases and Revenues nor the exercise of any of Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section or Article 2 hereof shall be deemed to make Agent a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Leases, the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof, unless and until Agent, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession thereof. Grantor further agrees that the appointment of any receiver for the Property by any court at the request of Agent or by agreement with Grantor, or the entering into possession of any part of the Property by such receiver, shall not be deemed to make Agent a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Leases, the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof.
(d) If Agent exercises its rights and remedies pursuant to this Section or Article 2 hereof, all Revenues thereafter collected shall be applied in such order as Agent may elect in its discretion to the reasonable costs of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the Revenues, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, fees, receiver fees, premiums on receiver’s bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies, Impositions and other charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation or liability of Grantor as landlord, lessor or licensor of the Property, or to the Secured Obligations. Agent or any receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of the Property and shall be liable to account only for those Revenues actually received. Agent shall not be liable to Grantor, anyone claiming under or through Grantor or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Agent pursuant to this Section or Article 2 hereof, except in the event of Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Revenues are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the Revenues, any monies reasonably expended by Agent for such purposes shall become a portion of the Secured Obligations. Unless Agent and Grantor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Agent to Grantor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the Default Rate stated in the Credit Agreement unless payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate which may be collected from Grantor under applicable law. The entering upon and taking possession of and maintaining of control of the Property by Agent or any receiver and the application of Revenues as provided herein shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Agent hereunder.
(e) It is the intention of Agent and Grantor that the assignment effectuated by this Instrument with respect to the Revenues shall be a direct and currently effective assignment and shall not constitute merely an obligation to xxxxx x xxxx, security interest or pledge for the purpose of securing the Secured Obligations.
(f) In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding such expressed intent of the parties, Agent’s interest in the Revenues constitutes a lien on or security interest in or pledge of the Revenues, it is agreed and understood that the forwarding of a notice to Borrower after the occurrence of an Event of Default advising Borrower of the revocation of Borrower’s license to collect such Revenues, shall be sufficient action by Agent to (i) perfect such lien on or security interest in or pledge of the Revenues, (ii) take possession thereof and (iii) entitle Agent to immediate and direct payment of the Revenues,
11
for application as provided in this Instrument, all without the necessity of any further action by Agent, including, without limitation, any action to obtain possession of the Land, Improvements or any other portion of the Property subject to the requirements of MCLA Section 554.231 et seq.
1.09 Leases of the Property.
(a) Except as permitted in the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not enter into any Lease of all or any portion of the Property or amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or terminate or cancel, or accept the surrender of, or consent to the assignment or subletting of, or grant any concessions to or waive the performance of any obligations of any tenant, lessee or licensee under, any now existing or future Lease of the Property, without the prior written consent of Agent. Grantor, at Agent’s request, shall furnish Agent with executed copies of all Leases hereafter made of all or any part of the Property. Upon Agent’s request, Grantor shall make a separate and distinct assignment to Agent, as additional security, of all Leases hereafter made of all or any part of the Property.
(b) There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created by the Leases with the fee estate of the Land without the prior written consent of Agent. Agent may at any time and from time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose, unilaterally subordinate the lien of this Instrument to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Grantor, any tenant or any other Person, and notice is hereby given to each tenant under a Lease of such right to subordinate. No such subordination shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lienholder. Nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating this Instrument to any Lease.
(c) Grantor hereby appoints Agent its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, empowering Agent to subordinate this Instrument to any Leases.
1.10 Security Agreement.
(a) Insofar as the machinery, apparatus, equipment, fittings, fixtures, building supplies and materials, general intangibles and articles of personal property either referred to or described in this Instrument, or in any way connected with the use and enjoyment of the Property is concerned, Grantor grants unto Agent a security interest therein and this Instrument is hereby made and declared to be a security agreement, encumbering each and every item of personal property (the “Personal Property”) included herein, in compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the applicable jurisdiction as set forth in Section 3.04 below (the “UCC”). A financing statement or statements affecting all of said personal property aforementioned, shall be appropriately filed. The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the security agreement herein contained shall be (i) as prescribed herein with respect to the Property, or (ii) as prescribed by general law, or (iii) as prescribed by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted and specified in said UCC, all at Agent’s sole election. Grantor and Agent agree that the filing of such financing statement(s) in the records normally having to do with personal property shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this declaration and hereby stated intention of Grantor and Agent that everything used in connection with the production of income from the Property and/or
12
adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Instrument, is to the full extent provided by law, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable shall be, regarded as part of the real estate irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items capable of being thus identified in a recital contained herein, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement(s) so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement(s) of the rights in and to (1) the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy, or (2) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (3) Grantor’s interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the Property, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall never be construed as in any way altering any of the rights of Agent as determined by this Instrument, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, or impugning the priority of Agent’s lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document, but such mention in such financing statement(s) is declared to be for the protection of Agent in the event any court shall at any time hold with respect to the foregoing (1), (2) or (3), that notice of Agent’s priority of interest to be effective against a particular class of persons, must be filed in the UCC records.
(b) Grantor warrants that (i) Grantor’s (that is, “Debtor’s”) correct legal name (including, without limitation, punctuation and spacing) indicated on the public record of Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization, identity or corporate structure, residence or chief executive office and jurisdiction of organization are as set forth in Subsection 1.10(c) hereof; (ii) Grantor (that is, “Debtor”) has been using or operating under said name, identity or corporate structure without change for the time period set forth in Subsection 1.10(c) hereof, and (iii) the location of the Personal Property secured by this Instrument is upon the Land (except that the books and records related to the Property may be stored and maintained at another site). Grantor covenants and agrees that Grantor shall not change any of the matters addressed by clauses (i) or (iii) of this Subsection 1.10(b) unless it has given Agent thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such change and has executed or authorized at the request of Agent such additional financing statements or other instruments in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.
(c) The information contained in this Subsection 1.10(c) is provided in order that this Instrument shall comply with the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in the State of Michigan, for instruments to be filed as financing statements. The names of the “Debtor” and the “Secured Party”, the identity or corporate structure, jurisdiction of organization, organizational number, federal tax identification number, and residence or chief executive office of “Debtor”, and the time period for which “Debtor” has been using or operating under said name and identity or corporate structure without change, are as set forth in Schedule 1 of Exhibit “C” attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof; the mailing address of the “Secured Party” from which information concerning the security interest may be obtained, and the mailing address of “Debtor”, are as set forth in Schedule 2 of Exhibit “C” attached hereto; and a statement indicating the types, or describing the items, of Personal Property secured by this Instrument is set forth hereinabove.
13
(d) Exhibit “C” correctly sets forth all names and tradenames that Grantor has used within the last five years, and also correctly sets forth the locations of all of the chief executive offices of Grantor over the last five years.
(e) The Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that:
(1) Grantor shall not merge or consolidate into, or transfer any of the Property to, any other person or entity except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.
(2) Grantor shall, at any time and from time to time, take such steps as Agent may reasonably request for Agent (A) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, of any bailee having possession of any of the Property, stating that the bailee holds possession of such Property on behalf of Agent, (B) to obtain “control” of any investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, or electronic chattel paper (as such terms are defined by the UCC with corresponding provisions thereof defining what constitutes “control” for such items of collateral), with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (C) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in any of the Property and of the preservation of its rights therein. If Grantor shall at any time, acquire a “commercial tort claim” (as such term is defined in the UCC) with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, Grantor shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing, providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and shall execute a supplement to this Instrument in form and substance acceptable to Agent granting a security interest in such commercial tort claim to Agent.
(3) Grantor hereby authorizes Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file financing statements, amendments and continuations that describe or relate to the Property or any portion thereof in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to perfect the security interests granted by Grantor under this Instrument or any other Loan Document, and such financing statements may contain, among other items as Agent may deem advisable to include therein, the federal tax identification number of Grantor.
(4) Grantor shall not license, lease, sell or otherwise transfer any of the general intangibles to any third party during the term of this Instrument and the Credit Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent may be withheld in the Agent’s sole discretion); and the Grantor will continue to use all trademarks, service marks and trade names in a consistent manner and shall take all steps necessary to properly maintain any formal registrations on the general intangibles, and to defend and enforce them, for the term of this Instrument and the Credit Agreement.
1.11 Further Assurances; After-Acquired Property. At any time and from time to time, upon request by Agent, Grantor will make, execute and deliver or cause to be made, executed and delivered, to Agent and, where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be rerecorded and/or refiled at such time and in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by Agent, any and all such other and further mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, notice filings, continuation statements, instruments of further
14
assurance, certificates and other documents as may, in the opinion of Agent, be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate, complete, or perfect, or to continue and preserve (a) the obligation of Grantor under the Guaranty, this Instrument, the other Loan Documents and the Hedge Documents and (b) this Instrument as a first and prior lien upon and security interest in and to all of the Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor. Upon any failure by Grantor so to do, Agent may make, execute, record, file, re-record and/or refile any and all such deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, instruments, certificates, and documents for and in the name of Grantor and Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor so to do. The lien hereof will automatically attach, without further act, to all after acquired property attached to and/or used in the operation of the Property or any part thereof.
1.12 Expenses. Grantor will pay or reimburse Agent, upon demand therefor, for all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred by Agent in any suit, action, legal proceeding or dispute of any kind in which Lenders, Agent or the holders of the Hedge Obligations is made a party or appears as party plaintiff or defendant, affecting or arising in connection with the Secured Obligations secured hereby, this Instrument or the interest created herein, or the Property, including, but not limited to, the exercise of the power of sale contained in this Instrument, any condemnation action involving the Property or any action to protect the security hereof; and any such amounts paid by Lenders, Agent or the holders of the Hedge Obligations shall be added to the Secured Obligations secured by the lien of this Instrument.
1.13 Subrogation. Agent shall be subrogated to the claims and liens of all parties whose claims or liens are discharged or paid with the proceeds of the Secured Obligations secured hereby.
1.14 Limit of Validity. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Instrument, the Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall be subject to the defense of usury or otherwise transcend or violate applicable law concerning interest or other charges, then ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Instrument, the Guaranty, the Note, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document be subject to the defense of usury or otherwise transcend or violate applicable law concerning interest or other charges that is in excess of the current limit, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the maximum limit permitted. The provisions of this Section 1.14 shall control every other provision of this Instrument, the Guaranty, the Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document.
1.15 Conveyance of Property. Grantor hereby acknowledges to Agent that (a) the identity and expertise of Grantor was and continues to be a material circumstance upon which Agent has relied in connection with, and which constitute valuable consideration to Agent for, the extending to Borrower of the loans and other extensions of credit evidenced by the Note and Credit Agreement, and (b) any change in such identity or expertise could materially impair or jeopardize the security for the payment of the Secured Obligations granted to Agent by this Instrument. Grantor therefore covenants and agrees with Agent, as part of the consideration for the extending to Grantor of the loans evidenced by the Note, that Grantor shall not convey, transfer, assign, further encumber or pledge any or all of its interest in the Property except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.
15
ARTICLE 2
2.01 Events of Default. The terms “Default” and “Event of Default” as used herein shall have the following meanings:
“Default” shall mean any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default.
“Event of Default” shall mean (a) any default in the payment or performance of the obligations of Grantor hereunder or of Borrower or any other Guarantor under any of the other Loan Documents when the same shall become due and payable which is not cured within any grace or notice and cure period provided in the Credit Agreement or such other Loan Documents, if any, subject to any limitations in the Credit Agreement on the right of Grantor, Borrower or any other Guarantor to receive notices of default, or (b) any representation or warranty of Grantor hereunder proving to be false or incorrect in any material respect upon the date when made or deemed to have been repeated, or (c) any default in the performance of the obligations of Grantor or Borrower or any other Person under any of the Security Documents beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, (d) the occurrence of any “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Grantor as debtor and Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by, or caused by, or at the instance of Grantor or by, or caused by, or at the instance of any principal, member, general partner or officer of Grantor (collectively, “Grantor Party”) without the prior written consent of Agent; or (f) in the event that any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Grantor as debtor and Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by any party other than a Grantor Party or Agent or Agent’s counsel without the prior written consent of Agent and Grantor fails to use its best efforts to cause the effect of such filing to be completely nullified to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent within ten (10) days after notice to Grantor thereof.
2.02 Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the entire Secured Obligations secured hereby shall, at the option of Agent and as permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement, immediately become due and payable without notice or demand except as required by law, time being of the essence of this Instrument.
2.03 Right to Enter and Take Possession.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor, upon demand of Agent, shall forthwith surrender to Agent the actual possession of the Property,
16
and if and to the extent permitted by law, Agent itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all the Property (or such portion or portions as Agent may select) without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, and may exclude Grantor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and may have joint access with Grantor to the books, papers and accounts of Grantor.
(b) If Grantor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Property or any part thereof after such demand by Agent, Agent may obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon Agent the right to immediate possession or requiring Grantor to deliver immediate possession of the Property to Agent. Grantor will pay to Agent, upon demand, all expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to Agent, its attorneys and agents; and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by the lien of this Instrument.
(c) Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Agent may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Property and conduct the business thereof and, from time to time, (i) 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; (ii) insure or keep the Property insured; (iii) lease, manage and operate the Property and exercise all the rights and powers of Grantor to the same extent as Grantor could in its own name or otherwise with respect to the same; and (iv) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted Agent, all as Agent from time to time may determine to be in its best interest. Agent may collect and receive all the rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Property, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, after deducting (1) all expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Property (including compensation for the services of all persons employed for such purposes); (2) the cost of all such maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions; (3) the cost of such insurance; (4) such taxes, assessments and other similar charges as Agent may at its option pay; (5) other proper charges upon the Property or any part thereof; and (6) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the attorneys and agents of Agent; Agent shall apply the remainder of the monies and proceeds so received by Agent in accordance with Section 12.5 of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall have no obligation to discharge any duties of a landlord to any tenant or to incur any liability as a result of any exercise by Agent of any rights under this Instrument or otherwise. Agent shall not be liable for any failure to collect rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Property, nor shall Agent be liable to account for any such rents, issues, profits or revenues unless actually received by Agent.
(d) Whenever all that is due upon the Secured Obligations and under any of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of this Instrument shall have been paid, the Lenders have no obligation to make further Loans and the Issuing Lender has no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit, and all Events of Default cured, Agent shall surrender possession of the Property to Grantor, its successors or assigns. The same right of taking possession, however, shall exist if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.
17
2.04 Performance by Agent. If there shall be a Default or Event of Default in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of this Instrument, Agent may, so long as such Default or Event of Default continues, at its option, pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith, shall be secured hereby and shall be, upon demand, immediately repaid by Grantor to Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate. Agent shall be the sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Agent is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Land or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Grantor or any person in possession holding under Grantor.
2.05 Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of strict right without regard to the occupancy or value of any security for the Secured Obligations secured hereby or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Property (or such portion or portions as Agent may select) and to collect and apply the rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of Michigan. Grantor will pay to Agent upon demand all reasonable expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorney’s fees, costs and agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.05, and all such expenses shall be secured by this Instrument.
2.06 Enforcement.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the extent permitted by law, Agent, at its option, may effect the foreclosure of this Instrument by selling the Property (or such portion or portions thereof as the Agent may select) at public auction at such time and place and upon such terms and conditions as may be required or permitted by applicable law, after having first advertised the time, place and terms of sale in accordance with applicable law. At any foreclosure sale, such portion of the Property as is offered for sale may, at the Agent’s option, be offered for sale for one total price, and the proceeds of such sale accounted for in one account without distinction between the items of security or without assigning to them any proportion of such proceeds, the Grantor hereby waiving the application of any doctrine of marshalling. Agent is authorized and empowered to sell or cause to be sold the Property and to convey the same to the purchaser thereof pursuant to the provisions of MCL Section 600.3201 et seq., as amended, pertaining to foreclosure by advertisement, which statute does not require that Grantor be personally notified of such sale or that a judicial hearing be held before the sale is conducted.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may, to the extent permitted by law, in addition to and not in abrogation of the rights covered under subparagraph (a) of this Section 2.06, 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 Secured Obligations or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Instrument or any other right, and (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to it, all as Agent shall determine most effectual for such purposes.
18
2.07 Purchase by Agent. Upon any foreclosure sale, Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and the holders of the Hedge Obligations, may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations secured hereby as a credit to the purchase price.
2.08 Application of Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds received by Agent as a result of the foreclosure sale of the Property or the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder shall be applied in the manner provided for in Section 12.5 of the Credit Agreement.
2.09 Grantor as Tenant Holding Over. In the event of any such foreclosure sale by Agent, Grantor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.
2.10 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws. Grantor agrees, to the full extent permitted by law, that in case of a Default or Event of Default, neither Grantor nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force and Grantor, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprised in the security intended to be created hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof.
2.11 Waiver of Homestead. Grantor hereby waives and renounces all homestead and exemption rights provided for by the Constitution and the laws of the United States and of any state, in and to the Property as against the collection of the Secured Obligations, or any part hereof.
2.12 Leases; Licensees. Agent, at its option, is authorized to foreclose this Instrument subject to the rights of any tenants and licensees of the Property, and the failure to make any such tenants or licensees parties to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted by Grantor to be a defense to any proceedings instituted by Agent to collect the sums secured hereby.
2.13 Discontinuance of Proceedings and Restoration of the Parties. In case Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Instrument by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to Agent, then and in every such case Grantor and Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken.
2.14 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Agent by this Instrument is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may be exercised against Grantor as Agent may select and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
19
2.15 Waiver.
(a) No delay or omission of Agent, any Lender or any holder of the Hedge Obligations to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Default 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 Default or Event of Default, or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Instrument to Agent may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Agent to or of any Default or Event of Default by Grantor in the performance of the obligations thereof hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other Default or Event of Default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Grantor hereunder. Failure on the part of Agent, the Lenders or any holder of the Hedge Obligations to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare a Default or Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Agent, any Lender or any holder of the Hedge Obligations of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any Default or Event of Default by Grantor.
(b) If Lenders or Agent on behalf of the Lenders, or any holder of the Hedge Obligations (i) grant forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (ii) take other or additional security for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (iii) waive or do not exercise any right granted herein or in the Note, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document; (iv) release any part of the Property from the lien of this Instrument or otherwise change any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Note, this Instrument, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document; (v) consent to the filing of any map, plat or replat affecting the Property; (vi) consent to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Property; or (vii) make or consent to any agreement subordinating the lien hereof, any such act or omission shall not release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under the Note, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty, this Instrument or any other obligation of Grantor, or any subsequent purchaser of the Property or any part thereof, or any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor; nor shall any such act or omission preclude Agent from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any Default then made or of any subsequent Default; nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Agent, shall the lien of this Instrument be altered thereby. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Property, Agent, without notice, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Property or the Secured Obligations secured hereby, 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.
2.16 Suits to Protect the Property. Agent shall have power (a) to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Property by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Instrument, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Property and in the rents, issues, profits and revenues arising therefrom, and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of Lenders or the holders of the Hedge Obligations.
20
2.17 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Grantor, its creditors or its property, Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Agent, Lenders and the holders of the Hedge Obligations allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Grantor under this Instrument at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Grantor hereunder after such date.
2.18 WAIVER OF GRANTOR’S RIGHTS. BY EXECUTION OF THIS INSTRUMENT, GRANTOR EXPRESSLY: (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THE RIGHT OF AGENT, THE LENDERS AND/OR THE HOLDERS OF THE HEDGE OBLIGATIONS TO ACCELERATE THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE POWER OF AGENT TO SELL THE PROPERTY BY NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE UPON DEFAULT BY GRANTOR WITHOUT ANY JUDICIAL HEARING AND WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OTHER THAN SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS INSTRUMENT OR BY LAW; (B) TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS WHICH GRANTOR MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FIFTH AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENTS THEREOF), THE VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS FOR THE SEVERAL STATES, OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, TO NOTICE AND TO JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY AGENT OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED TO AGENT, EXCEPT SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED IN THIS INSTRUMENT OR BY APPLICABLE LAW; (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT GRANTOR HAS READ THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS REGARDING THE LEGAL EFFECT OF THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THEIR PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED FULLY TO GRANTOR AND GRANTOR HAS CONSULTED WITH COUNSEL OF GRANTOR’S CHOICE PRIOR TO EXECUTING THIS INSTRUMENT; AND (D) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL WAIVERS OF THE AFORESAID RIGHTS OF GRANTOR HAVE BEEN MADE KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND WILLINGLY BY GRANTOR AS PART OF A BARGAINED FOR LOAN TRANSACTION.
2.19 Claims Against Agent, Lenders and Holders of Hedge Obligations. No action at law or in equity shall be commenced, or allegation made, or defense raised, by Grantor against Agent, the Lenders or any holder of the Hedge Obligations for any claim under or related to this Instrument, the Note, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty or any other instrument, document, transfer, conveyance, assignment or loan agreement given by Grantor with respect to the Secured Obligations secured hereby, or related to the conduct of the parties thereunder, unless written notice of such claim, expressly setting forth the particulars of the claim alleged by Grantor, shall have been given to Agent within sixty (60) days from and after the initial awareness of Grantor of the event, omission or circumstances forming the basis of Grantor for such claim. Any failure by Grantor to timely provide such written notice to Agent shall constitute a waiver by Grantor of such claim.
21
2.20 [Intentionally Omitted].
2.21 Indemnification; Subrogation; Waiver of Offset.
(a) Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent, the Lenders and the holders of the Hedge Obligations harmless for, from and against any and all liability, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses (including Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) of whatever kind or nature which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by Agent, or the Lenders or the holders of the Hedge Obligations in connection with the Secured Obligations, this Instrument, the Property, or any part thereof, or the exercise by Agent of any rights or remedies granted to it under this Instrument; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Grantor to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Agent, the Lenders or the holders of the Hedge Obligations for, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses asserted against, imposed on or incurred by Agent or a Lender by reason of such Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence if a judgment is entered against Agent, a Lender or a holder of a Hedge Obligation by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods.
(b) If Agent, a Lender or a holder of a Hedge Obligation is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened or brought against Agent, a Lender or a holder of a Hedge Obligation concerning the Secured Obligations, this Instrument, the Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or the construction, maintenance, operation or occupancy or use thereof, then Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold such Person harmless for, from and against all liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by such Person in any such litigation or claim, whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.21(b) shall be construed to obligate Grantor to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Agent, a Lender or a holder of a Hedge Obligation for, from and against any and all liabilities or claims imposed on or incurred by such Person by reason of such Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence if a judgment is entered against such Person by a court of competent jurisdiction after expiration of all applicable appeal periods. If Agent commences an action against Grantor to enforce any of the terms hereof or to prosecute any breach by Grantor of any of the terms hereof or to recover any sum secured hereby, Grantor shall pay to Agent its reasonable attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel, fees, if any) and expenses. The right to such attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action, and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. If Grantor breaches any term of this Instrument, Agent may engage the services of an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and in the event of such engagement following any breach by Grantor, Grantor shall pay Agent reasonable attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by Agent, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Grantor by reason of such breach. All references to “attorneys” in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Instrument shall include
22
