1.2 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx’s right, title and interest in and to all current and future Leases and Rents; it being intended by Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this Section 1.2 and Section 3.6, Lender grants to Borrower a revocable license to collect and receive the Rents, which license shall be automatically revoked upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined). Borrower shall hold the Rents, or a portion thereof sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt, for use in the payment of such sums. This Security Instrument is intended to assign Rents and Leases pursuant to 25 Del. C. § 2121.
1.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Security Instrument is both a real property mortgage and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security Instrument, Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations, a security interest in the Property to the full extent that the Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code.
1.4 PLEDGE OF MONIES HELD. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Escrow Fund (as defined in Section 3.4), the Deferred Maintenance Deposit (as defined on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof), the Reserve (as defined on Exhibit B), Net Proceeds (as defined in Section 4.3(b)), and condemnation awards or payments described in Section 3.5 (collectively, “Deposits”), as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.
CONDITIONS TO GRANT
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto and to the use and benefit of Xxxxxx, and the successors and assigns of Lender, forever;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if Borrower shall well and truly pay to Lender the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note and this Security Instrument, shall well and truly perform the Other Obligations (as defined in Section 2.1 hereof) as set forth in this Security Instrument and shall well and truly abide by and comply, in all material respects, with each and every covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Note, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease, terminate and be void.
2 - DEBT AND OBLIGATIONS SECURED
2.1 DEBT AND OBLIGATIONS SECURED. This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments and transfers made in Article 1 are given for the purpose of securing the payment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations, in such order of priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. For purposes hereof, the term “Debt” shall mean the aggregate of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note in lawful money of the United States of America, interest, default interest, late charges, prepayment premiums and other sums, as provided in the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents (defined below), all other moneys agreed or provided to be paid by Borrower in the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents and all sums advanced pursuant to this Security Instrument to protect and preserve the Property and the lien and the security interest created hereby. For purposes hereof, the term “Other Obligations” shall mean the obligations of Borrower (other than the obligation to repay the Debt) contained in this Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined). For purposes hereof, the term “Loan Documents” shall mean the Note, this Security Instrument and any other documents or instruments which now or shall hereafter wholly or partially secure or guarantee payment of the Note or which have otherwise been executed or are hereafter executed by Borrower and/or any other person or entity in connection with the loan (the “Loan”) evidenced by the Note and any renewal, extension, amendment, modification, consolidation, change of, or substitution or replacement for, all or any part thereof. Borrower’s obligations for the payment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations shall be referred to collectively below as the “Obligations.” All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Note and the other Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein. Anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the obligations of any person (hereinafter, a “Guarantor” or “Indemnitor”) under any separate guaranty or indemnity accepted by Lender, including but not limited to any guaranty of recourse obligations given to Lender as of even date herewith, shall not be secured by this Security Instrument, any separate assignment of leases or assignment of rents, or any other lien encumbering the Property; provided however that the obligations of Borrower under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and under any separate indemnity of Borrower shall be so secured, subject to the rights of Lender to proceed on an unsecured basis thereunder pursuant to applicable law.
3 - BORROWER COVENANTS
Borrower covenants and agrees that:
3.1 PAYMENT OF DEBT. Xxxxxxxx will pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
3.2 INSURANCE.
(a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the coverages set forth herein:
(i) property insurance (written on the Special cause of Loss form or its equivalent) on the Improvements and the Personal Property, in each case (A) in an amount equal to 100% of the actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings)
with a waiver of depreciation; (B) containing either an agreed amount endorsement or a waiver of all co-insurance provisions; and (C) providing for a deductible of not greater than $50,000. If any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, Borrower shall obtain flood hazard insurance in such an amount as Lender shall require, but in no event less than the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended. In addition, in the event the Property is located in the State of California or in a “seismic zone” 3 or 4 (as defined in the Uniform Building Code published by the International Conference of Building Officials), Borrower shall obtain earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;
(ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the “occurrence” form with a combined single limit (including “umbrella” coverage in place) of not less than (1) $3,000,000 and a general aggregate limit of not less than $4,000,000; or (2) if any of the Improvements contain elevators, a combined single limit of not less than $5,000,000 and a general aggregate limit of $6,000,000 and (B) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; and (4) blanket contractual liability for all written and oral contracts, to the extent the same is available;
(iii) loss of rents insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a)(i); and (C) on an agreed value actual loss sustained basis in an amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income from the Property for a period of twelve (12) months. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Xxxxxxxx’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all insurance proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this Subsection shall be held by Xxxxxx and shall be applied to the obligations secured hereunder from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents insurance;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, material repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy;
(v) if Borrower has employees, workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which the Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000 per accident and per disease per employee, and $1,000,000 aggregate coverage for disease in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation;
(vi) if the Property contains HVAC or other equipment not covered by the comprehensive all risk insurance, comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender;
(vii) if Borrower owns or operates motor vehicles, motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits reasonably acceptable to Lender; and
(viii) such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located (excluding
coverage against acts of terrorism), provided that the same is commercially available at commercially reasonable rates.
(b) All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”) issued by one or more Qualified Insurers (as hereinafter defined), provided that if insurance from a Qualified Insurer is not commercially available, Borrower shall be permitted to obtain such insurance from an “insurer of last resort” approved, authorized or licensed to provide insurance in the state in which the Property is located. Such insurance shall be written on customary forms for the coverages required hereby and, except as otherwise expressly required by the provisions of this Section 3.2, may provide for commercially reasonable policy limits and sub-limits and normal and customary exclusions, exceptions and deductibles. Whether or not covered by the express terms of any Policy, Borrower shall not decline, elect not to accept, allow to lapse or fail to pay the required premium for any insurance coverage required to be extended or offered by any insurer by applicable law, rule or regulation without Xxxxxx's prior written consent. For purposes hereof, a “Qualified Insurer” shall mean an insurance company approved, authorized or licensed to provide insurance in the state in which the Property is located and have a rating of “A” or better for claims paying ability assigned by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Rating Group or a general policy rating of “A-” or better and a financial class of VIII or better assigned by A.M. Best Company, Inc.
(c) Borrower shall not obtain (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, Xxxxxx’s interest is included therein as provided in this Security Instrument and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 3.2(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Subsection 3.2(e). Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder or shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Subsection 3.2(a).
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Subsection 3.2(a), except for the Policy referenced in Subsection 3.2(a)(v), shall name Xxxxxx and Borrower as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a “mortgagee clause” in form acceptable to Lender providing, among other things, that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days prior written notification of any termination, cancellation or reduction of insurance and that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) If not previously delivered to Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender no later than thirty (30) days after the date hereof certified copies of the existing Policies providing the insurance coverage required under Section 3.2(a) marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”) monthly, quarterly or annually, as the case may be, in accordance with the requirements for payment contained in the Policies. In addition, prior to the expiration dates of the Policies which Borrower is now or hereafter required to maintain hereunder, Borrower shall deliver to Lender certificates of insurance on Accord Forms 25 and 27 (or such forms as may be required by the Rating Agencies) for the new or renewal Policies (accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment of the monthly, quarterly or annual Insurance Premiums that shall have become due thereunder), setting forth, among other things, the amounts of insurance maintained, the risks covered by such insurance and the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance. Borrower shall deliver certified copies of the new or renewal Policies (including any blanket or umbrella Policy) Borrower is required to maintain under this Section 3.2 within the later of (1) thirty (30) days of Lender’s request and (2) upon such certified copies of the new or renewal Policies being available for delivery by the applicable insurer(s). In addition, if requested by Xxxxxx, Borrower shall furnish verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender. Under no circumstances shall Borrower be permitted to finance the payment of any portion of the Insurance Premiums.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower to take such action as
Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by this Security Instrument and shall bear interest in accordance with Section 10.3 hereof.
(g) If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender, if the cost of repairing such damage is in excess of $100,000, and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender (the “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.3 of this Security Instrument, except in instances where Xxxxxx has failed or elected not to disburse Net Proceeds to Borrower under such Section 4.3 (provided that such exception shall not apply if the failure to disburse is attributable to Borrower’s failure to comply with the conditions set forth in Clauses (A), (D) or (I) of Subsection 4.3(b)(i) or in Subsection 4.3(b)(ii) or any other conditions set forth in Section 4.3 which Borrower has the practical ability to satisfy). Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
(h) In the event of foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Xxxxxxxx in and to such policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
3.3 PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC. Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Taxes”), all ground rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Other Charges”), and all charges for utility services provided to the Property prior to the time the same become delinquent. Borrower will deliver to Lender, promptly upon Xxxxxx’s request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property. Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes and Other Charges have been deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall furnish to Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent.
3.4 RESERVES. (a)Borrower shall pay to Lender on each date that a regularly scheduled payment of interest is due under the Note one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (the amounts above shall be called the “Escrow Fund”). Xxxxxxxx agrees to notify Xxxxxx immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes of which it has obtained knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes and Other Charges directly from the appropriate taxing authority. The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest payable pursuant to the Note shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Xxxxxx may deal with the person shown on the records of Xxxxxx to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Xxxxxx. No earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower.
(b) Borrower shall comply with the Replacement and Leasing Reserve Requirements set forth on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof.
(c) Borrower shall have the right to deliver a Letter of Credit in lieu of making payments to the Escrow Fund for the purposes of paying the Taxes subject to the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit “C” hereto. If Borrower delivers a Letter of Credit, Lender shall have no obligation to apply the Escrow Fund or any proceeds of the Letter of Credit to the payment of the Taxes.
3.5 CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Xxxxxxxx shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Security Instrument and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by Xxxxxx, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 4.3 of this Security Instrument, except in instances where Xxxxxx has failed or elected not to disburse Net Proceeds to Borrower under such Section 4.3 (provided that such exception shall not apply if the failure to disburse is attributable to Borrower’s failure to comply with the conditions set forth in Clauses (A), (D) or (I) of Subsection 4.3(b)(i) or in Subsection 4.3(b)(ii) or any other conditions set forth in Section 4.3 which Borrower has the practical ability to satisfy). If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award or payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
3.6 LEASES AND RENTS.
(a) Except as otherwise consented to by Lender, all Leases shall be written on a standard form of lease for the Property which shall have been submitted to Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan or otherwise approved by Lender. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases. Except as required by changes in law or agreements with any association formed by the homeowners association for the Property established for the benefit of the pad site lessees and owners or lessees of manufactured homes to be placed thereon, provided that in no event shall any such agreements have a Material Adverse Effect (as hereinafter defined), no material changes may be made to the Lender-approved standard lease without the prior written consent of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, all renewals of Leases and all proposed leases shall be on arms length terms, shall provide for market rents then prevailing in the market area of the Property or as reasonably determined by Borrower in a manner consistent with prudent business practices of owners of similar properties and shall provide for free rent only if the same is consistent with prevailing market conditions; provided, however, (x) Borrower shall be permitted to offer leasing incentive consistent with its ordinary business and marketing practices and those of its affiliates, and (y) Borrower shall be permitted to allow month-to-month tenancies without obtaining written Lease renewals following the expiration of a Lease with an initial term of not less than six (6) months. Subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 3.6(a), Borrower shall be permitted to lease sites at the Property to Sun Home Services, Inc. ("SHS"), an affiliate of Borrower, as well as other dealers of manufactured homes, so that SHS and such other dealers may place manufactured homes on such sites and enter into residential lease agreements pursuant to which tenants shall lease such manufactured homes, and sublease such sites, from SHS or such other dealers; provided, however, SHS and such other dealers shall be permitted to terminate any of its leases with Borrower if the tenants of SHS or such other dealers default under their leases with SHS or such other dealers. All proposed commercial Leases and renewals of existing Leases for commercial space shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel, at Borrower’s expense. All Leases shall provide that they are subordinate to this Security Instrument and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Xxxxxx. For purposes hereof, the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean a material adverse effect upon the current use or operation of the Property as a mobile home park, the
management of the Property in a manner consistent with industry standards for similar properties, the rent generated from the Property, or the ability of Lender to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents.
(b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Leases as security for the Obligations; (ii) shall enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed, short of termination thereof; provided however, a residential Lease may be terminated in the event of a default by the tenant thereunder; (iii) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance; (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of the lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents; and (v) shall not consent to any assignment of or subletting under the Leases without the prior written consent of Lender, except in accordance with the terms of such Leases or otherwise in the ordinary course of business.

Any such new or replacement Manager shall be a Qualified Manager that shall assume management of the Property pursuant to a replacement management agreement that is reasonably acceptable to Lender. At the time such new or replacement Management Agreement is entered into, Borrower and the related Manager shall enter into an assignment of management agreement and subordination of management fees in favor of Lender that is reasonably acceptable to Lender.

(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for the Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met: (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents; (B) (1) in the event of the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than fifty percent (50%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed, or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property; (C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) (with respect to casualties) or ninety percent (90%) (with respect to condemnation) of the total net rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, as the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration; (D) Borrower shall have commenced the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the settlement of the related insurance claim or determination of the condemnation award) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion; (E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note at the Applicable Interest Rate (as defined in the Note), which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Subsection 3.2(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower; (F) Lender shall be satisfied that following the completion of the Restoration, the ratio of sustainable net cash flow for the Property (after deduction for underwritten reserves) to debt service payable under the Note shall be at least 1.20 to 1.00; (G) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) twelve (12) months prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), (2) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, (3) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases which are required in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b) to remain in effect subsequent to the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, and the completion of the Restoration or (4) such time as may be required under any applicable
zoning laws, ordinances, rules or regulations in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such taking, as applicable; (H) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; (I) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations; and (J) such fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Xxxxxx and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b), shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and approval in all respects by Xxxxxx and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Xxxxxx (the “Casualty Consultant”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Xxxxxx and the Casualty Consultant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” as used in this Subsection 4.3(b) shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 4.3(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Xxxxxx or by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Xxxxxx, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Subsection 4.3(b) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. With respect to Restorations following a casualty in which the Improvements are restored to substantially the same condition as they existed prior to the casualty, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.3(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 4.3(b)(vi) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion. Provided no Event of Default exists under the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any prepayment premium or other prepayment consideration in connection with a prepayment resulting from the application of Net Proceeds to the Debt pursuant to the preceding sentence. Any such prepayment shall be applied to the principal last due under the Note and shall not release Borrower from the obligation to pay the Monthly Payments (as defined in the Note) next becoming due under the Note and the Monthly Payment shall not be adjusted or recalculated as a result of such partial prepayment. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Xxxxxx and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.
4.4 LOCK BOX ACCOUNT. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, provided a lock box procedure has not otherwise been instituted under any other provision of the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right, upon written notice to Borrower to require that, from and after the next succeeding date of payment of an installment of principal and interest under the Note, all Rents with respect to the Property, at Xxxxxx’s discretion, be paid directly to the property manager for the Property (the “Manager”) and deposited daily by the Manager in the name designated by Xxxxxx directly to a designated lock-box account (the “Lock-Box Account”), opened by Lender at a bank (the “Lock-Box Bank”), which account shall be within the exclusive control of Lender.
(b) Upon receipt of notice from Lender as set forth in Subsection (a) above, Borrower shall enter into and shall cause Manager to enter into a lock-box agreement with Lender in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lender, which form shall substantially reflect the provisions of this Section (provided, however, that Borrower’s obligations under this Section 4.4 (including Borrower’s obligation to cause Manager to deposit Rents in the Lock-Box Account in accordance with Section 4.4(a) above) shall not be dependent upon the execution of any such lock-box agreement). If, in Lender’s judgment, the Manager’s performance in collecting Rents shall decline, Borrower shall irrevocably instruct and otherwise cause each party paying such Rents (including each tenant under any Lease) to make all payments (A) if by wire transfer, to the Lock Box Account, and (B) if by check, money order or similar manner of payment, by mail to a designated lock box (the “Lock Box”) within the exclusive control of Lender Amounts deposited into the Lock-Box shall be collected and deposited daily by the Lock-Box Bank into the Lock-Box Account. Xxxxxxxx agrees that if any Rents required to be deposited in the Lock Box Account shall be received by it or any affiliate or any manager of all or any portion
of the Property, Borrower shall deposit or cause such Rents to be deposited in the Lock Box Account within one (1) Business Day of the receipt of such Rents by Borrower, any affiliate or any manager.
(c) Amounts on deposit in the Lock-Box Account on any date of payment of an installment of principal and interest under the Note shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) to pay any Taxes, Other Charges or Insurance Premiums then due and payable; (ii) to pay the Lock-Box Bank’s fees; (iii) to pay interest and principal due on such date with respect to the Note; (iv) to replenish all reserves and escrow funds required to be paid by Borrower to Lender under the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents; and (v) to pay normal and customary operating expenses of the Property which have been approved by Lender.
(d) In the event that Lender shall have the right to institute lock box procedures pursuant to any other provision of the Loan Documents, the terms and provisions of such provision shall supersede the provisions of this Section 4.4.
(e) In the event that lockbox procedures shall be instituted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.4 and thereafter Lender shall accept the cure of such Event of Default in writing or waive such Event of Default, such lockbox procedures shall be discontinued subject to Lender’s right to reinstitute the same upon the occurrence of any future Event of Default.

Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender.

This Section 10.6 shall apply throughout the term of the Note and without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. Lender shall bear the cost of any examination, audit or copying under this Section 10.6 unless such actions are taken in connection with an Event of Default.
10.7 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a)The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower, any Guarantor or any Indemnitor to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof,
or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.
(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured.

(c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Xxxxxx in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
10.8 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. Lender may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.

15 - APPLICABLE LAW
15.1 CHOICE OF LAW. This Security Instrument shall be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located and the applicable laws of the United States of America.
15.2 USURY LAWS. This Security Instrument and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Debt at a rate which could subject the holder of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Security Instrument or the Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Debt at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the Security Instrument and the Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of the Note. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.
15.3 PROVISIONS SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW. All rights, powers and remedies provided in this Security Instrument may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Security Instrument invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of this Security Instrument or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Security Instrument and any other application of the term shall not be affected thereby.
16 - SECONDARY MARKET

Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities (the “Securities”) evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (such process, a “Securitization”). Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Securities or any rating agency (a “Rating Agency”) rating such Securities (all of the foregoing entities collectively referred to as the “Investor”) and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt and to Borrower, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor and the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.

EXHIBIT B

|
|
1. |
Defined Terms. |
All capitalized terms used herein and not defined in this Security Instrument shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7 of this Exhibit B. To the extent any Reserve Deposit is assigned the meaning “none” in the Reserve Letter, the provisions set forth in this Exhibit B specifically relating to the making or application of such Reserve Deposits shall be disregarded.

(b) On each date that a regularly scheduled payment of principal or interest is due under the Note, Borrower shall be required to make a Monthly Deposit. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Monthly Deposit shall be required unless an Event of Default shall have occurred.
(c) Lender shall deposit each Monthly Deposit, as received, in an escrow account (the “Reserve”). Out of each Monthly Deposit, the Monthly Replacement Account Deposit shall be allocated to an account (the “Replacement Account”) for the payment of Replacements and the Monthly Leasing Account Deposit shall be allocated to an account (the “Leasing Account”) for the payment of Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions (as defined below) in conjunction with Leases (as hereinafter defined).
(d) Lender shall maintain a record of all deposits into and withdrawals from the Reserve and their allocation to the Replacement Account and the Leasing Account. Lender or a designated representative of Lender shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from such account.
|
|
3. |
Disbursements. |
(a) Provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall make disbursements of funds available in the Replacement Account to reimburse Borrower for Replacements.
(b) Provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall make disbursements of funds in the Leasing Account to reimburse Borrower for the cost of (i) tenant improvements required under any Lease (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”); and (ii) leasing commissions incurred by Borrower in connection with any Lease, provided that (x) such leasing commissions are reasonable and customary for properties similar to the Property and the portion of the Property for which such leasing commission is due, (y) the amount of such leasing commissions are determined pursuant to arms length transactions between Borrower and any leasing agent to which a leasing commission is due, and excluding any leasing commissions which shall be due any general partner, or shareholder of Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower and (z) the tenant under the related Lease shall have taken occupancy of its entire leased premises and commenced the payment of its entire base minimum rent (collectively, “Leasing Commissions”).
(c) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 3, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Reserve necessary to reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of (i) any Leasing Commissions and (ii) any work relating to Replacements or Tenant Improvements (collectively, “Work”).
(d) Each request for disbursement from the Reserve shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender, and shall be accompanied by evidence of the full performance of the obligations of the leasing
agent or satisfactory completion of the Work, as the case may be, and such bills, invoices and other evidence of the incurrence of the related costs and expenses as Lender may reasonably request.
(e) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Reserve more frequently than once in any calendar quarter.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Reserve in an amount less than the lesser of (i) $5,000, and (ii) the total cost of the Replacement, Tenant Improvement or Leasing Commission for which the disbursement is requested.
|
|
4. |
Performance of Replacements. |
4.1 Deferred Maintenance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Xxxxxxxx agrees to perform all of the Scheduled Repairs within sixty (60) days after the date hereof or such other period of time, if any, set forth in the Reserve Letter. The Deferred Maintenance Deposit shall be used solely for the payment of the actual costs of the Scheduled Repairs. Upon completion of the Scheduled Repairs in accordance with the requirements hereof, the portion of the Deferred Maintenance Deposit remaining undisbursed, if any, shall be disbursed to Borrower. All conditions, covenants and agreements set forth herein with respect to a disbursement from the Replacement Account shall apply to the disbursements from the Deferred Maintenance Deposit.
4.2 Entry Onto Property: Inspections. Xxxxxx may inspect the Property in connection with any Work prior to disbursing funds from the Reserve with respect thereto. In connection with any Work that is (i) a structural repair or improvement, (ii) a replacement or repair of a major component or element of any part of the Property or (iii) Scheduled Repairs, Lender may require, at Borrower’s expense, one or more inspections and/or certificates of completion by an appropriate independent, qualified professional (e.g., architect, engineer, consultant) approved by Xxxxxx. In addition to Lender’s costs and expenses, Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable inspection fee, provided, however, such fees shall not exceed $500, in the aggregate, in any calendar year.
5. Borrower’s Records. Borrower shall furnish such financial statements, invoices, records, papers and documents relating to the Property as Lender may reasonably require from time to time to make the determinations permitted or required to be made by Lender with respect to disbursements of the Deferred Maintenance Deposit and/or the Reserve.
6. Insufficiency of Reserve Balances, Temporary Deferral of Monthly Deposits. The insufficiency of any balance in the Reserve or the Deferred Maintenance Deposit shall not abrogate Borrower’s agreement to fulfill its obligations contained in this Security Instrument. In the event Lender determines that (i) the balance in the Reserve is less than the current estimated cost to complete the Work and pay the Leasing Commissions which Borrower, in the prudent operation of the Property can reasonably be anticipated to incur during the succeeding twenty four (24) months, or (ii) the balance of the Deferred Maintenance Deposit is less than the amount necessary to complete the Scheduled Repairs, Borrower shall deposit the shortage within ten (10) days of request by Lender. In the event Lender determines from time to time based on Xxxxxx’s inspections that the amount of the Monthly Deposit is insufficient to fund the cost of likely Work and Leasing Commissions and related contingencies that may arise during the remaining term of the Loan, Lender may require an increase in the amount of the Monthly Deposits upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrower. Lender may approve a temporary deferral or a reduction in the amount of the Monthly Deposit; provided, however, that if Lender approves either a temporary deferral or reduction in the amount of the Monthly Deposit, such action by Lender shall not prevent Lender from requiring Borrower to resume payment of the Monthly Deposits on any date that Lender may deem appropriate.
