encumbrances except for Permitted Liens.
(b) The Company has full right, power and authority to mortgage its
right, title and interest in and under the Conveyance Leases to Mortgagee
pursuant hereto, and each lessor under the Conveyance Leases (a "Ground Lessor")
has granted its express consent to this Mortgage.
(c) Each of the Conveyance Leases is in full force and effect
and such Mortgagor has not waived any of its rights thereunder.
(d) Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any
Ground Lessor is in material default with respect to any of the terms of any of
the Conveyance Leases and the Company knows of no acts or occurrences
constituting a material default thereunder.

the Company or any Ground Lessor with respect to any part of the Site, except
for Permitted Liens.
(f) The Company has received no notice from any Ground Lessor
terminating any of the Conveyance Leases or demanding performance or compliance
with any of the terms, covenants or conditions thereof.
(g) Since the Company acquired its interest in the Facility, no fire or
casualty has affected the Site and the Company knows of no proposed condemnation
or eminent domain proceeding or settlement in lieu thereof that may affect the
Site.
(h) (i) The Company is now, and after giving effect to this Mortgage,
will be, in a solvent condition, (ii) the execution and delivery of this
Mortgage by the Company does not constitute a "fraudulent conveyance" within the
meaning of Title 11 of the United States Code as now constituted or under any
other applicable Law and (iii) no bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are
pending or contemplated by or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
against the Company.
5. No Actions or Proceedings. There are no actions, suits
or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened against or affecting the Company, the Facilities, the
Site or the Collateral, or that involve the validity or
-11-
enforceability of this Mortgage or the priority of the lien hereof, at Law or in
equity, or before or by any Governmental Authority.
6. After-Acquired Property. Unless expressly excluded hereby, all
property at any time acquired by the Company shall, immediately upon the
acquisition thereof by the Company and without any further act, become and be
subject to the lien of this Mortgage as Collateral, as fully and completely as
though now owned by the Company, and specifically described in the granting
clauses hereof.
7. Maintenance and Modification of Collateral by Mortgagor.
(a) The Company agrees that at no time will the Company permit waste to
be committed upon the Collateral and the Company will operate and maintain the
Collateral or cause the Collateral to be operated and maintained pursuant to
Section 5.6 of the Indenture and Section 4.6 of the IDB Lease Agreement and to
any comparable provision of the Working Capital Facility. The Company agrees
that it shall not modify, nor cause to be modified, the Collateral, or any part
thereof, except as expressly permitted by the other Financing Documents.
(b) Any property for which a substitution or replacement is made as
permitted by the Financing Documents may be disposed of by the Company in any
manner and in the sole discretion of the Company free and clear of the lien of
this Mortgage.
8. Liens. The Company will not permit any mechanic's,
materialmen's or other Lien or encumbrance, other than Permitted
Liens, to be established or remain against the Collateral, and if
any such liens are filed, the Company shall promptly have them
removed by bond or otherwise.
9. Taxes and Governmental and Utility Charges.
(a) The Company will pay or cause to be paid, before the date when
interest (provided that "interest" shall not include discounts for early payment
under the Law of the State of Alabama (the "State")) and penalties become due
thereon, all taxes and governmental and utility charges of any kind whatsoever
that may at any time be lawfully assessed or levied against or with respect to
the Collateral or any part thereof (other than taxes or charges that are the
subject of a Good Faith Contest), including, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, (i) all ad valorem taxes levied against the Collateral and any
other taxes levied upon the Collateral that, if not paid, will become a Lien on
the receipts from the Collateral or against the Collateral or any interest
therein or the revenues derived therefrom; (ii) all utility and other charges
incurred in the operation, maintenance, use, occupancy and upkeep of the
Collateral that, if not paid, will become a Lien on the receipts from the
Collateral or a Lien against the Collateral or any interest therein or the
revenues derived therefrom; and (iii) all assessments and charges lawfully made
by any Governmental Authority for public improvements that may be
-12-
secured by a Lien on the Collateral, provided that, with respect to special
assessments or other governmental charges that may lawfully be paid in
installments over a period of years, the Company shall be obligated to pay only
such installments when and as they are required to be paid.
(b) In the event of the passage after the date of this Mortgage of any
Law of the State or in any other state in which the Collateral is located,
changing in any way the Laws now in force for the taxation of mortgages, deeds
of trust or debts secured thereby, for state or local purposes, or the manner of
the operation of any such taxes so as to adversely affect the interest of
Mortgagee, then and in such event, the Company shall bear and pay the full
amount of such taxes; provided, however, that if for any reason payment by the
Company of any such new or additional taxes would be unlawful or if the payment
thereof would constitute usury or render the loan or indebtedness secured hereby
wholly or partially usurious under any of the terms or provisions of this
Mortgage, or otherwise, Mortgagee may, at its option, either (i) exercise its
remedies under Section 21 as soon as the failure to pay such taxes results in a
Mortgage Event of Default (as defined herein) or (ii) waive, as directed by the
Required Senior Creditors in Senior Creditor Certificates, any such Mortgage
Event of Default and any payment received from the Company to the extent of such
unlawful or usurious amount and the Company shall concurrently therewith pay the
remaining lawful and non-usurious portion or balance of said taxes.
10. Condemnation. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or other
body given the power of eminent domain through eminent domain, condemnation or
otherwise, the Company shall continue to pay the Secured Obligations at the time
and in the manner provided for their payment in the Financing Documents, and the
Secured Obligations shall not be reduced until, and only to the extent that, any
award of payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by
Mortgagee in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement to the discharge of the
Secured Obligations. The Company shall file and prosecute its claim or claims
for any award or payment in a Good Faith Contest and shall cause the same to be
collected and paid over to Mortgagee for application as set forth in the
Intercreditor Agreement. Each Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and
empowers Mortgagee in the name thereof or otherwise to collect and receive any
such award or payment and to file and prosecute such claim or claims if (a)
either Mortgagor fail to do so within a reasonable time prior to the expiration
of the period allowed therefor by applicable Law or (b) a Mortgage Event of
Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing. Although it is hereby
expressly agreed that the same shall not be necessary in any event, the Company
shall, upon demand of Mortgagee upon advice of counsel, make, execute and
deliver any and all assignments and other instruments sufficient for the purpose
of assigning any such award or payment to Mortgagee free and clear of any
encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever.
-13-
11. Leases and Rents.
(a) Except as provided in the Financing Documents, the Company shall
not lease or sublease, as lessor, all or any portion of the Leased Premises.
(b) Each Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee, as security for the
payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, any and all of each
Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to the Leases and the Rents.
Subject to the terms of this Section 11(b), Mortgagee shall refrain from
exercising the right to enter the Leased Premises for purposes of collecting the
Rents and grants to the Company the right and license to collect the Rents, as
to all of the Collateral except the IDB Properties, and grants to the IDB the
right and license to collect the Rents related to the IDB Properties. The
Company shall hold the Rents, or an amount sufficient to discharge all sums
currently due on the Secured Obligations, in trust for use in payment of the
Secured Obligations. The right of the Company to collect the Rents may be
revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any
Mortgage Event of Default by the Company herein by giving written notice of such
revocation to the Company. Following such notice, Mortgagee may collect, retain
and apply the Rents during the continuation of such Mortgage Event of Default
toward payment of the Secured Obligations according to the Financing Documents
and in such order, priority and proportions, or to the operation, maintenance
and repair of the Leased Premises, as Mortgagee shall deem proper irrespective
of whether Mortgagee shall have commenced a foreclosure of this Mortgage or
shall have applied or arranged for the appointment of a receiver. Except to the
extent permitted or authorized by the Financing Documents, neither Mortgagor
shall, without the consent of Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, make, or suffer to be made, any Leases or modify or cancel any Leases
or accept prepayments of installments of the Rents for a period of more than one
month in advance or further assign the whole or any part of the Rents. The
Company shall (i) fulfill or perform each and every provision of the Leases on
the part of either Mortgagor to be fulfilled or performed, (ii) promptly send
copies of all notices of default that either Mortgagor shall send or receive
under the Leases to Mortgagee and (iii) enforce, short of termination of the
Leases, the performance or observance of the provisions thereof by the other
parties thereto.
(c) The Company agrees that it will not further pledge or assign its
interest in any of the Leases, or further assign the Rents, so long as any of
the Secured Obligations remain unpaid except as otherwise permitted by the
Financing Documents.
(d) Nothing contained in this Section 11 shall be construed as imposing
on Mortgagee any of the obligations of the parties under the Leases.
-14-
(d) The assignment of the Leases and Rents in this Section 11 is
intended to be an absolute present assignment from each Mortgagor to Mortgagee
and not merely a passing of a security interest.
12. Concerning the Conveyance Leases. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, and in addition to any rights, privileges and
remedies granted to Mortgagee elsewhere in this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall have,
and the Company hereby grants to Mortgagee, any and all rights, privileges and
remedies of leasehold mortgagees provided for in each of the Conveyance Leases
(including the Company's renewal rights, if any) without the necessity of
particularly specifying any or all of such rights, privileges and remedies that
are or could be granted to leasehold mortgagees pursuant to any of the Ground
Leases.
The Company hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that:
(a) This Mortgage is lawfully executed and delivered in
conformity with each of the Conveyance Leases.
(b) The Company shall promptly pay or cause to be paid, when
due and payable, the net rent, additional rents, taxes and all other
sums and charges mentioned in and made payable by the Company under
each of the Conveyance Leases.
(c) The Company shall promptly perform and observe, or cause
to be performed and observed, all of the terms, covenants and
conditions required to be performed and observed by the Company under
each of the Conveyance Leases, within the periods provided therein, and
will do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its
rights under each of the Conveyance Leases. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a failure by the Company to comply with the provisions of
this Section 12(c) shall not be deemed to be a Mortgage Event of
Default unless and until an "Event of Default" has occurred under any
of the Conveyance Leases, which has not been waived or cured.
(d) The Company shall promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of
any default by the Company in the performance or observance of any of
the terms, covenants, or conditions on the part of the Company to be
performed or observed under any of the Conveyance Lease.
(e) The Company shall (i) promptly notify Mortgagee in writing
of the receipt by the Company of any notice of termination of any of
the Conveyance Leases or any notice noting or claiming any default by
the Company under any of the Conveyance Leases; (ii) promptly deliver
to Mortgagee a copy of each such notice; and (iii) promptly deliver to
Mortgagee a copy of any material notice sent to any Ground Lessor,
including any notice of election or the exercise of any rights of
renewal under said instrument.
-15-
(f) The Company shall not, without the prior written consent
of Mortgagee, terminate, modify or surrender any of the Conveyance
Leases or suffer or permit any termination, modification or surrender
thereof.
(g) The Company shall, within ten (10) days after written
demand from Mortgagee, use its good faith efforts to obtain from each
Ground Lessor and deliver to Mortgagee a certificate stating that such
instrument is in full force and effect, is unmodified, that no notice
of termination thereon has been served, stating the date to which the
rent has been paid and stating whether or not there are any defaults
thereunder and specifying the nature of such defaults, if any.
(h) The Company shall furnish to Mortgagee, within five (5)
business days after demand therefor, proof of payment of all items that
are required to be paid by the Company pursuant to each of the
Conveyance Leases.
(i) The Company shall not consent to any waiver, modification
or cancellation of any provision of any of the Conveyance Leases nor to
the subordination of any of the Conveyance Leases to any other interest
or instrument whatsoever, including any Lien (other than Permitted
Liens) on the fee estate of any Ground Lessor under any of the
Conveyance Leases without obtaining the prior written consent of
Mortgagee thereto.
(j) The Company does hereby irrevocably appoint and constitute
Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place
and stead to perform and comply with all obligations of such Mortgagor
under all of the Conveyance Leases without relying on any grace period
provided therein, to do and take, without the obligation to do so, any
action Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any
default by the Company under each of the Conveyance Leases, including
any act, deed, matter or thing whatsoever that the Company may do in
order to cure a default under any of the Conveyance Leases, to enter in
and upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof to such extent and as
often as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or
desirable in order to prevent or cure any default by the Company under
any of the Conveyance Leases or to perform or complete any obligation
of the Company pursuant thereto. The Company shall, within five (5)
business days after written request is made therefor by Mortgagee,
execute and deliver to Mortgagee or to any Person that Mortgagee shall
designate, such further instruments, agreements, powers, deeds,
conveyances or the like as may be necessary to complete or perfect the
interest, rights or powers of Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 12 or
as may be reasonably required by Mortgagee. The Company hereby ratifies
all that Mortgagee shall do or cause to be done as the Company's
attorney-in-fact consistent with the foregoing. The Company also
authorizes Mortgagee, upon the occurrence and
-16-
during the continuance of a Mortgage Event of Default, to communicate
in its own name with any party to any Project Document at any time,
with regard to any matter relating to such Project Document.
(k) Until and unless Mortgagee shall elect otherwise by
written notice to the Company and either of the Ground Lessors,
Mortgagee shall be the "Leasehold Mortgagee" for all purposes of each
of the Conveyance Leases. The Company shall deliver all necessary
notices, and take all such other actions, as may be necessary from time
to time, in order to designate Mortgagee as the "Leasehold Mortgagee"
under each of the Conveyance Leases.
(l) If the Company or the IDB acquires the estate of the
landlord under any of the Conveyance Leases (i) there shall be no
merger between such acquired estate and the estate of either of the
Company or the IDB under any of the Conveyance Leases unless all
Persons (including Mortgagee) having an interest in any of the
Conveyance Leases shall consent thereto in writing and (ii) this
Mortgage and the lien hereof shall, ipso facto, without the necessity
of any further conveyance, simultaneously with such acquisition, be
spread to cover such acquired estate and as so spread shall, be prior
to the Lien of any mortgage placed on the acquired estate subsequent to
the date of this Mortgage.
(m) The generality of the provisions of this Section 12
relating to the Conveyance Leases shall not be limited by other
provisions of this Mortgage setting forth particular obligations of the
Company that are also required of the Company as the lessee under any
of the Conveyance Leases.
(n) If any of the Conveyance Leases shall be terminated prior
to the natural expiration of its term due to default by either of the
Company or the IDB, and if, pursuant to any provision of any of the
Conveyance Leases, Mortgagee or its designee shall acquire from the
applicable Ground Lessor a new lease of any part of the Site, the
Company and the IDB shall have no right, title or interest in or to
such new lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, or renewal
privileges therein contained.
(o) The Company shall at all times cause the Company's estate,
rights, title and interest in, to and under the Leased Premises to be
subject to no interests, Liens, charges or encumbrances other than the
interest of any Ground Lessor under the applicable Conveyance Leases
and any of the Permitted Liens. The Company shall defend the Company's
estate, rights, title and interest in, to and under the Leased Premises
and the interest in, to and under the Leased Premises and the priority
thereof, and the priority and validity of the Lien hereof, against the
claims of all Persons except as aforesaid.
-17-
13. Transfer or Encumbrance of the Collateral. Except to the extent
permitted by the Financing Documents, no part of the Collateral shall in any
manner be further encumbered, sold, transferred, leased, subleased, assigned or
conveyed, or permitted or suffered to be further encumbered, sold, transferred,
assigned or conveyed.
14. Advances. If the Company fails to pay or cause to be paid, subject
to any right hereunder to contest, any claim, Lien or encumbrance (other than
Permitted Liens), or, prior to delinquency, any tax or assessment, or, when due,
any insurance premium, or to keep the Collateral in repair, or shall commit or
permit waste, or if there shall be commenced any action or proceeding affecting
the Collateral or any part thereof or the title thereto, or the interest of
Mortgagee therein, including condemnation or eminent domain proceedings,
bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings or any proceeding regarding an
Environmental Requirement, then Mortgagee or any Senior Secured Party (upon
written notice to Mortgagee and each other Senior Secured Party), at its option,
may, but shall not be required to, pay said claim, Lien, encumbrance, tax,
assessment or premium, with right of subrogation thereunder, following a
Mortgage Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, or at such
earlier time as permitted by any Consent to Assignment of a Project Contract to
Mortgagee, may make such repairs and take such steps as it deems advisable to
prevent or cure such waste, and may appear in any such action or proceeding and
retain counsel therein, and take such action therein as Mortgagee or such Senior
Secured Party deems advisable, and for any of said purposes Mortgagee or such
Senior Secured Party may advance such sums of money, including all costs,
attorneys' fees and other items of expense as it deems necessary. The Company
shall pay or cause to be paid, upon demand, to Mortgagee or such Senior Secured
Party, as the case may be, all sums of money so advanced, together with interest
on each such advance at an interest rate per annum equal to the yield on the
First Mortgage Bonds plus three percent (3%), and the repayment of such advances
shall be secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. In making any
payment or securing any performance relating to any obligation of either
Mortgagor under this Mortgage, Mortgagee, as long as it acts in good faith,
shall be the sole judge of the legality, validity and amount of any Lien or
encumbrance and of all other matters necessary to be determined in satisfaction
thereof. No such action of Mortgagee shall be considered a waiver of any right
accruing to it hereunder. Mortgagee shall not be held accountable for any delay
in making any such payment, which delay may result in any additional interest,
costs, charges or expenses.
15. Indemnification; Waiver of Offset.
(a) If Mortgagee is made a party defendant to any litigation,
proceeding, action, suit, claim, demand or judgment of any nature or form, by or
on behalf of any person, concerning this Mortgage or the Leased Premises or any
part thereof, including any eminent domain, condemnation or other proceeding,
any proceeding, action,
-18-
suit, claim, demand or judgment arising in any manner from an Environmental
Requirement concerning the Leased Premises, and any contest, action or
proceeding pursuant to Sections 39, 40 and 41, then the Company shall indemnify,
defend and hold Mortgagee harmless from any and all liability, loss or expense
by reason of said litigation, proceeding, action, suit, claim, demand or
judgment (including any appeals therefrom), including attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred by Mortgagee in any such litigation, proceeding, action, suit,
claim, demand or judgment (including any appeals therefrom), but excluding
liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct by Mortgagee other than
gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed to Mortgagee solely by reason of
its interest in the Leased Premises, whether or not any such litigation,
proceeding, action, suit, claim or demand is prosecuted to judgment. If
Mortgagee commences an action against either Mortgagor to enforce any of the
terms hereof by reason of a default of the Company hereunder, or for the
recovery of any sum secured hereby, or if the Company breaches any term of this
Mortgage, the Company shall pay to Mortgagee attorneys' fees and disbursements
(including any of the same incurred on appeal), and the right to such attorneys'
fees 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.
(b) The Company waives any and all right to claim or recover against
Mortgagee, and its directors, officers, employees and representatives, for loss
of or damage to the Company, the Collateral or any part thereof, the Company's
property or the property of others under the Company's control, from any cause
to the extent insured against or required to be insured against by the
provisions of the Financing Documents.
16. Security Agreement. This Mortgage constitutes both a real property
mortgage and a "security agreement," within the meaning of the UCC, and the
Collateral includes both real and personal property any and all other rights and
interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of each Mortgagor in the
Collateral. Information relative to the security interest created hereby may be
obtained by application to Mortgagee at the address provided in the introductory
clause. Each Mortgagor, by executing and delivering this Mortgage, has granted
as security for the Secured Obligations a lien on and security interest in such
of the Collateral as is governed by the UCC in favor of Mortgagee. During a
Trigger Event Period, Mortgagee, in addition to any other rights and remedies
that it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand,
any and all rights and remedies granted to Mortgagee upon default under the UCC,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take
possession of such of the Collateral as is governed by the UCC or any part
thereof and such other rights specified in Section 21(a)(ii)(C), and to take
such other measures as Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and
preservation thereof. Upon request or demand of Mortgagee, the Company shall at
its expense assemble such of the Collateral as is governed by the UCC and make
-19-
it available to Mortgagee on demand and shall reimburse Mortgagee for any and
all expense, including legal expenses and attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by
Mortgagee in protecting its interest in such of the Collateral as is governed by
the UCC and in enforcing the rights granted hereunder with respect to such of
the Collateral as is governed by the UCC. Any notice of sale, disposition or
other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to such of the Collateral as is
governed by the UCC sent to either Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions
of this Mortgage at least ten (10) days prior to such action shall constitute
reasonable notice to such Mortgagor. Any method of sale or disposition or other
intended action in accordance with the UCC shall conclusively be deemed to be
commercially reasonable within the meaning of the UCC unless objected to in
writing by either the Company or the IDB within ten (10) days after receipt by
such Mortgagor of such notice. The proceeds of any sale or disposition of such
of the Collateral as is governed by the UCC, or any part thereof, shall be
applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such order,
priority and proportions as set forth in Article VI of the Intercreditor
Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 16 to the contrary,
with respect to any Collateral that is also defined as "Collateral" under the
Security Agreement, Mortgagee hereby reserves, and Mortgagee shall be entitled
to exercise, each of its rights, powers and remedies under the Security
Agreement with
respect to such Collateral.
At the request of Mortgagee upon advice of counsel, each Mortgagor will
execute one or more Financing Statements and renewals and amendments thereof
pursuant to the UCC of any jurisdiction deemed applicable by Mortgagee in form
satisfactory to Mortgagee, and the Company will pay the cost of filing the same
in all public offices wherever filing is deemed by Mortgagee to be necessary or
desirable.
The Company covenants to execute and deliver Mortgagee, upon demand,
such additional assurances, writings and other instruments as may be reasonably
required by Mortgagee to effect the purpose hereof or to perfect the interest of
Mortgagee in any security hereby given, including a copy of any opinion it may
deliver to the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Indenture and a reliance
letter addressed to it in connection therewith.
Each Mortgagor hereby appoints (such appointment being coupled with an
interest), until the Secured Obligations are paid in full, Mortgagee as
attorney-in-fact for such Mortgagor and to execute in the name thereof any
financing statements or other comparable documents reasonably deemed by
Mortgagee to be necessary or desirable to perfect or protect or continue the
lien and security interest hereby granted. Each Mortgagor hereby ratifies all
that Mortgagee shall do or cause to be done as such Mortgagor's attorney-in-fact
consistent with the foregoing.
-20-
17. Performance of Other Agreements.
(a) The Company shall (i) pay all rents, fees, additional rents and
other sums required to be paid by the Company, as grantee, under and pursuant to
the provisions of the Easements, (ii) diligently perform and observe all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of the Easements on the part of the Company, as
grantee, to be performed and observed, unless such performance or observance
shall be waived, excused or otherwise not required by the grantor under the
Easements, to the end that all things shall be done that are necessary to keep
unimpaired the rights of the Company, as grantee, under the Easements and (iii)
promptly notify Mortgagee of the giving of any notice by the grantor under any
of the Easements to the Company of any default by the Company, as grantee, in
the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of
any of the Easements on the part of the Company, as grantee, to be performed or
observed and deliver to Mortgagee a true copy of each such notice. The Company
shall not, except to the extent permitted or authorized by the Financing
Documents, surrender any of the Easements or terminate or cancel any of the
Easements or take any action to modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any
of the Easements, in any respect, either orally or in writing, and the Company
hereby assigns to Mortgagee, as further security for the payment of the
obligations evidenced by the Financing Documents and for the performance and
observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage, all of the
rights, privileges and prerogatives of the Company, as grantee, to surrender any
of the Easements or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or
amend any of the Easements, and any such surrender of any of the Easements or
termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or
amendment of any of the Easements without the prior consent of Mortgagee, as
directed by Required Senior Creditors in Senior Creditor Certificates, and such
other Persons as shall be required by any Financing Document shall be void and
of no force and effect. If the Company shall default in the performance or
observance of any term, covenant or condition of any of the Easements on the
part of the Company, as grantee, to be performed or observed, and such default
continues beyond applicable grace periods, then, without limiting the generality
of the other provisions of this Mortgage, and without waiving or releasing the
Company from any of its obligations hereunder, Mortgagee shall have the right,
but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take
any action as may be reasonably necessary (or, during a Trigger Event Period,
pay any sums and perform any act or take any action) to cause all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of the Easements on the part of the Company, as
grantee, to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on
behalf of the Company to the end that the rights of the Company in, to and under
the Easements shall be kept unimpaired and free from any default. If Mortgagee
shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with the
preceding sentence, Mortgagee will notify such Mortgagor of the making of any
such payment, the performance of any such act or the taking of any such action.
In
-21-
any such event, Mortgagee and any person designated by Mortgagee shall have, and
are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Collateral or any part thereof
at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking or performing any
such action. If any grantor under any of the Easements shall deliver to
Mortgagee a copy of any notice of default sent by said grantor to the Company,
such notice shall constitute full protection to Mortgagee for any action taken
or omitted to be taken by Mortgagee, in good faith, consistent with the
foregoing, in reliance thereon. The Company shall, from time to time, use
reasonable efforts to obtain from the grantors under the Easements such
certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by the Company with the
terms of the Easements as may be requested by Mortgagee. The Company shall
exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the
Easements in conformance with such option upon demand by Mortgagee made at any
time, and, until the Secured Obligations are paid in full, the Company hereby
expressly authorizes and appoints Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact to exercise,
either jointly or individually, any such option in the name of and upon behalf
of the Company if the Company fails to do so within a reasonable time prior to
the expiration thereof, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall
be deemed to be coupled with an interest.
(b) The Company shall not, without Mortgagee's prior consent, as
directed by Required Senior Creditors in Senior Creditor Certificates, elect to
treat any of the Easements as terminated under Subsection 365(h)(1) or any other
provision of the Bankruptcy Code, after rejection or disaffirmance of any such
Easements by the grantor thereunder or by any trustee of such party, and any
such election made without such consent shall be void and ineffective.
(c) Subject to the Company's right to seek and retain certain offsets
as permitted hereunder, the Company hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to
Mortgagee as security all of the Company's claims and rights to the payment of
damages that may hereafter arise as a result of any rejection or disaffirmance
of any of the Easements by the grantor thereof or by any trustee of such party,
pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. Mortgagee shall have and is hereby granted the
right to proceed, in its own name or in the name of either the Company in
respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection or
disaffirmance of any Easements (including the right to file and prosecute, to
the exclusion of such Mortgagor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions,
applications, notices and other documents) in any case in respect of such
grantor under the Bankruptcy Code, (i) if the Company fails to do so within a
reasonable time prior to the expiration of the period allowed therefor by
applicable Law, except in the case of any such Trigger Event that shall have
resulted from a Bankruptcy Event in respect of the Mortgagor or Mobile Energy,
or (ii) during a Trigger Event Period. This assignment constitutes a present,
irrevocable, non-exclusive and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims,
rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until the Secured Obligations
shall have been satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts received by
Mortgagee as damages
-22-
arising out of any such rejection of any Easements shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of Article VI of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(d) In the event that, pursuant to Section 365(h)(2) or any other
provision of the Bankruptcy Code, the Company seeks to offset against the rent
or other sums payable under any of the Easements the amount of any damages
caused by the nonperformance by the grantor thereunder of such grantor's
obligations under any of the Easements after rejection or disaffirmance thereof
under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company shall, prior to effecting such offset,
notify Mortgagee in writing of such Mortgagor's intent to do so, setting forth
the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. Mortgagee shall, as
directed by Required Senior Creditors in Senior Creditor Certificates, have the
right to object in writing (stating the reasons therefor) to all or any part of
such offset, and, in the event of such objection, the Company shall not effect
any offset of the amounts so objected to by Mortgagee. If Mortgagee shall have
failed to object as aforesaid within twenty (20) days after such notice,
Mortgagee's consent will be deemed to have been given and the Company may
proceed to effect such offset in the amounts set forth in such notice. If, in
the good faith business judgment of the Company, such offset is justified and
Mortgagee has received the aforesaid notices and has not objected but its time
to do so has not expired, then the Company shall have the right to make such
offset and the Company shall set aside the offset amount as a reserve to be paid
only if Mortgagee objects within the aforesaid time. The Company shall indemnify
and hold Mortgagee and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents
harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits,
proceedings, damages, losses, costs and expenses of every nature whatsoever
(including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) arising from or relating to
any such offset by the Company.
(e) The Company shall, promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, use
good faith efforts to give prompt oral notice to Mortgagee of any actual or
contemplated filing by or against any grantor of any Easement of a petition
under the Bankruptcy Code, and give prompt written notice thereof to Mortgagee
of such actual or contemplated filing. The aforesaid written notice shall set
forth any information reasonably available to the Company concerning the date or
anticipated date of such filing, the court in which such petition was filed or
is expected to be filed, and the relief sought or reasonably expected to be
sought therein. The Company shall, promptly after receipt thereof, deliver to
Mortgagee any and all notices, summonses, applications and other documents
received by the Company in connection with any such petition and any proceedings
related thereto.
(f) Subject to the second sentence of this Section 17(f), in the event
that any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in
respect of any grantor under any Easement or any part thereof, in connection
with any case under the Bankruptcy
-23-
Code, Mortgagee shall have, and is hereby granted, the option, to the exclusion
of each Mortgagor, exercisable upon notice from Mortgagee to such Mortgagor, to
conduct and control any such litigation with counsel of Mortgagee's choice.
Mortgagee may proceed, in its own name or in the name of either Mortgagor, in
connection with any such litigation, (i) if such Mortgagor fails to do so within
a reasonable time prior to the expiration of the period allowed therefor by
applicable Law and Mortgagee, if so directed to proceed by Required Senior
Creditors in Senior Creditor Certificates or (ii) during a Trigger Event Period,
and such Mortgagor agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations,
consents and other documents required by Mortgagee in connection therewith. The
Company shall, upon demand, pay to Mortgagee all costs and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and disbursements) paid or incurred by Mortgagee in
connection with the prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings, and, to the
extent permitted by law, such costs and expenses shall be deemed expenses
incurred in upholding the lien of this Mortgage and added to the Secured
Obligations. The Company shall not, without the prior consent of Mortgagee
(which consent of Mortgagee shall not be unreasonably withheld), commence any
action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in
respect of any of the Easements in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code.
(g) In the event that a petition under the Bankruptcy Code shall be
filed by or against either Mortgagor, and such Mortgagor, or anyone claiming
through or under such Mortgagor or a trustee in bankruptcy shall have the right
to reject any of the Easements pursuant to Section 365(a) or any other provision
of the Bankruptcy Code, such Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee at least ten (10)
days' prior written notice of the date on which application shall be made to the
court for authority to reject any such Easement; provided, however, that if a
trustee in bankruptcy shall have a right to reject any Easement in less than ten
(10) days, then such Mortgagor shall give such notice to Mortgagee immediately
upon such Mortgagor's obtaining knowledge of such application. Mortgagee shall
have the right, but not the obligation (subject to the rights of a trustee in
bankruptcy), to exercise such right, as directed by Required Senior Creditors in
Senior Creditor Certificates, and such Mortgagor hereby assigns such right to
Mortgagee. If at any time any grantor under any Easements, or anyone holding by,
through or under the grantor under any Easements or a trustee in bankruptcy,
shall elect to reject such Easements pursuant to Section 365(a) or any other
provision of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby giving to such Mortgagor the right to
elect to treat such Easements as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h)(1) or any
other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, Mortgagee shall have the right to
exercise such right (i) if such Mortgagor fails to do so within a reasonable
time prior to the expiration of the period allowed therefor by applicable Law
and Mortgagee is so directed to proceed by Required Senior Creditors in Senior
Creditor Certificates or (ii) during a Trigger Event Period, and such Mortgagor
hereby assigns said right to Mortgagee on a non-exclusive basis. If either of
the assignments provided for in this Section 17(g) is held to be
-24-
enforceable, then such Mortgagor, anyone claiming by, through or under such
Mortgagor or a trustee in bankruptcy, shall not exercise rights purportedly
assigned to such Mortgagor without the prior consent of Mortgagee, and if
Mortgagee shall give such consent, such Mortgagor, anyone claiming by, through
or under such Mortgagor or a trustee in bankruptcy shall promptly exercise
either of such rights.
(h) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Mortgagor hereby
assigns, transfers and sets over to Mortgagee the right, as directed by Required
Senior Creditors in Senior Creditor Certificates, on a non-exclusive basis, to
apply to the Bankruptcy Court under Section 365(d)(4) or any other provision of
the Bankruptcy Code for an order extending the period during which any Easements
may be rejected or assumed after the entry of any order for relief under Chapter
7 or Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in respect thereof.
MORTGAGE EVENTS OF DEFAULT/REMEDIES
18. Mortgage Events of Default. The occurrence of and
continuation of any Trigger Event shall be deemed a "Mortgage Event
of Default" under this Mortgage.
19. Mortgagee's Right to Cure Defaults. During a Trigger Event Period,
Mortgagee or any Senior Secured Party (upon notice to Mortgagee and each other
Senior Secured Party) may remedy the same in accordance with the applicable
provisions hereof and of the Intercreditor Agreement and for such purpose shall
have the right to enter upon the Collateral or any portion thereof without
thereby becoming liable to such Mortgagor or any person in possession thereof
holding under such Mortgagor.
20. Non-Waiver. The failure of Mortgagee to insist upon strict
performance of any term of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any term of this Mortgage. The Company shall not be relieved of either the
Company's obligation to pay or perform the Secured Obligations at the time and
in the manner provided in the Financing Documents by reason of (i) the failure
to comply with any request of either Mortgagor to take any action to foreclose
this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the
Financing Documents or any other mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement,
instrument or document evidencing, securing or guaranteeing payment of the
Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, (ii) the release, regardless of
consideration, of the whole or any part of the Collateral or any other security
for the Secured Obligations or (iii) any agreement or stipulation between
Mortgagee and any subsequent owner or owners of the Collateral or other Person
extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms
of this Mortgage, any other Financing Document or any other mortgage, deed of
trust, security agreement, instrument or document evidencing, securing or
guaranteeing payment or performance of the Secured Obligations or any portion
thereof, without first having obtained the consent of either the Company or
-25-
the IDB (but without prejudice to the rights of the Company or the IDB under the
Financing Documents), and in the latter event, such Mortgagor shall continue to
be obligated to pay the Secured Obligations at the time and in the manner
provided in the Financing Documents and this Mortgage, as so extended, modified
and/or supplemented, unless expressly released and discharged from such
obligation by Mortgagee in accordance with the directions given pursuant to the
Intercreditor Agreement. Regardless of consideration, and without the necessity
for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate Lien or other
interest in the Collateral, Mortgagee may, in accordance with the directions
given pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, release any Person at any time
liable for the payment of the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or all
or any part of the security held for the Secured Obligations and may extend the
time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of the Financing Documents,
without in any manner impairing or affecting this Mortgage or the lien thereof
or the priority of this Mortgage as so extended and modified, as security for
the Secured Obligations over any such subordinate Lien or interest. Mortgagee
may resort for the payment of the Secured Obligations to any other security held
by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may, in accordance with the
directions given pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, elect. Mortgagee may
take action to recover the Secured Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to
enforce any covenant hereof in each case in accordance with the terms hereof and
of the Intercreditor Agreement, without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee
thereafter to foreclose this Mortgage. Mortgagee shall not be limited
exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to
every additional right and remedy now or hereafter afforded by Law or equity,
subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the exercise
thereof. The rights of Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall be separate, distinct
and cumulative, and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others.
No act of Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one
provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.
21. Remedies.
(a) Subject to Section 8.2 of the Indenture and Section 7.2 of the IDB
Lease Agreement and to any comparable provision of the Working Capital Facility,
during a Trigger Event Period, Mortgagee may, to the maximum extent permitted by
Law, exercise any right, power or remedy permitted to it hereunder, under any
other Security Documents or by Law, and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Mortgagee may, personally or by its agents, to the maximum extent
permitted by Law, do any or all of the following:
(i) without assuming liability for the performance of any of
the Company's or the IDB's obligations hereunder or under the Project
Contracts, enter and take possession of the Collateral or any part
thereof, exclude such Mortgagor and all persons claiming under such
Mortgagor whose claims are junior
-26-
to this Mortgage, wholly or partly therefrom, and use, operate, manage
and control the same either in the name of such Mortgagor or otherwise
as Mortgagee shall deem best, and upon such entry, from time to time at
the expense of the Company and the Collateral, make all such repairs,
replacements, alterations, additions or improvements to the Collateral
or any part thereof and, whether or not Mortgagee has so entered and
taken possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, collect and
receive all the Rents and apply the same, to the extent permitted by
Law, to the payment of all expenses that Mortgagee may be authorized to
make under this Mortgage, the remainder to be applied to the payment of
the Secured Obligations until the same shall have been repaid in full;
if Mortgagee demands or attempts to take possession of the Collateral
or any portion thereof in the proper exercise of any rights hereunder,
the Company and the IDB shall promptly turn over and deliver complete
possession thereof to Mortgagee; and
(ii) with or without entry:
(A) subject to applicable Law, sell all or any part
of the Collateral for cash (1) to the highest bidder at public
auction in front of the courthouse door in the county or
counties, as may be required, where the Collateral is located,
whether in person or by auctioneer, after having first given
notice of the time, place and terms of sale, together with a
description of the property to be sold, by publication once a
week for three (3) successive weeks prior to such sale in some
newspaper published in such county or counties, as may be
required, and, upon payment of the purchase money, Mortgagee
or any Person conducting the sale for Mortgagee is authorized
to execute and deliver to the purchaser at such sale a deed to
the Collateral so purchased, (2) otherwise at an auction or
foreclosure sale held at such place or places and time and
upon such notice and otherwise in such manner as may be
required by Law or (3) in the absence of any such
requirements, as Mortgagee may deem appropriate and in
accordance with the provisions hereof (and in taking such
action, Mortgagee may act in accordance with an opinion of
counsel, upon which Mortgagee may conclusively rely) and, in
the case of any of clauses (1), (2) or (3) above, from time to
time adjourn any such sale by announcement at the time and
place specified for such sale or for such adjourned sale
without further notice, except as may be required by Law;
(B) proceed to protect and enforce its rights under
this Mortgage, by suit for specific performance of any
covenant contained herein or in any other Security Document or
in aid of the execution of any power granted herein or in any
other Security Document, or for the foreclosure of this
Mortgage (as a mortgage or
-27-
otherwise) and the sale for cash of the Collateral under the
judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, or
for the enforcement of any other right as Mortgagee shall deem
most effectual for such purpose (and in taking such action,
Mortgagee may act in accordance with an opinion of counsel,
upon which Mortgagee may conclusively rely); provided,
however, that in the event of a sale, by foreclosure or
otherwise, of less than all of the Collateral, this Mortgage
shall continue as a lien on and security interest in the
remaining portion of the Collateral, and Mortgagee shall not
be obligated to sell upon credit unless Mortgagee shall have
expressly consented in writing to a sale upon credit; or
(C) exercise any or all of the remedies available to
a secured party under the UCC, including:
(1) either personally or by means of a court
appointed receiver, without notice to or demand upon
the Company or the IDB take possession of all or any
portion of the Collateral as shall be covered by the
UCC and exclude therefrom such Mortgagor and all
persons claiming under such Mortgagor, and thereafter
hold, store, use, operate, manage, maintain and
control, make repairs, replacements, alterations,
additions and improvements to, and exercise all
rights and powers of such Mortgagor in respect of,
any portion of the Collateral as shall be covered by
the UCC; if Mortgagee demands or attempts to take
possession of any portion of the Collateral, as shall
be covered by the UCC in the proper exercise of any
rights hereunder, each Mortgagor shall promptly turn
over and deliver complete possession thereof to
Mortgagee;
(2) without notice to or demand upon the
Company or the IDB, make such payments and do such
acts as Mortgagee (and in taking such action,
Mortgagee may act in accordance with an opinion of
counsel, upon which Mortgagee may conclusively rely)
may deem necessary to protect its lien on and
security interest in any portion of the Collateral as
shall be covered by the UCC, including paying,
purchasing, contesting or compromising any
encumbrance that is prior to or superior to the lien
and security interest granted hereunder, and in
exercising any such powers or authority paying all
expenses incurred in connection therewith;
(3) require the Company to assemble the
Collateral as shall be covered by the UCC, or any
portion thereof, at a place designated by Mortgagee
-28-
and reasonably convenient to each Mortgagor and
Mortgagee, and promptly to deliver the portions of
the Collateral as may be covered by the UCC to
Mortgagee, or an agent or representative designated
by it; Mortgagee, and its agents and representatives,
shall have the right to enter upon the Site and
property of such Mortgagor to exercise Mortgagee's
rights hereunder;
(4) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of such
portions of the Collateral as may be covered by the
UCC, with or without having such portions of the
Collateral as may be covered by the UCC at the place
of sale, and upon such terms and in such manner as
Mortgagee may determine (and Mortgagee may be a
purchaser at any such sale); and
(5) unless the Collateral is perishable or
threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a
type customarily sold on a recognized market,
Mortgagee shall give each Mortgagor at least ten (10)
days' prior notice of the time and place of any sale
or other intended disposition, such Mortgagor
agreeing that such ten (10) day notice period is
sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable
sale of the Collateral.
(b) During a Trigger Event Period, or upon the actual or threatened
waste to any part of the Collateral, Mortgagee, to the maximum extent permitted
by Law and upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be
entitled to the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral, without notice or
demand, and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Secured
Obligations or the solvency of the Company or the IDB. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event of threatened waste to any part of the Collateral (but
not actual waste), during a Trigger Event Period, Mortgagee shall provide notice
to each of the Company and the IDB of its intent to appoint a receiver and shall
permit such Mortgagor a reasonable period of time to eliminate such threatened
waste prior to the appointment of said receiver. The Company and the IDB hereby
irrevocably consent to the appointment of a receiver pursuant to this Section
21(b) and, except as otherwise hereinbefore specifically provided or as required
by Law, waives notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or
receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or
similar cases and all the powers and duties of a mortgagee in case of entry and
shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of
confirmation of sale of the Collateral, unless such receivership is sooner
terminated. Specifically, Mortgagee or any receiver shall be entitled to take
possession of the Collateral from the owners, tenants and/or occupants of the
whole or any part thereof and to collect and receive the Rents and the value of
the use and occupation of the Collateral, or any part thereof, from the
-29-
then owner, tenants and/or occupants thereof for the benefit of
Mortgagee.
(c) In any sale under any provision of this Mortgage during a Trigger
Event Period or pursuant to any judgment or decree of court thereafter granted,
the Collateral, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, may be sold in one or
more parcels or as an entirety and in such order as Mortgagee may elect, without
regard to the right of either Mortgagor or any person claiming under such
Mortgagor to the marshalling of assets. The purchaser at any such sale shall
take title to the Collateral or the part thereof so sold free and discharged of
the estate of either Mortgagor therein, the purchaser being hereby discharged
from all liability to see to the application of the purchase money. Any person,
including Mortgagee and any Senior Secured Parties, may purchase at any such
sale if the highest bidder therefor. The purchaser of the Collateral or any
successor shall succeed to all rights of either Mortgagor, including any rights
to proceeds of insurance and in and to all policies or certificates of insurance
assigned and delivered to Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage and the Financing
Documents. Upon the completion of any such sale by virtue of this Section 21(c),
Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, execute and deliver
to such purchaser an appropriate instrument that shall effectively transfer all
of each Mortgagor's estate, right, title, interest, property, claim and demand
in and to the Collateral or portion thereof so sold. During a Trigger Event
Period, Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the attorney-in-fact of each
Mortgagor in its name and stead to make all appropriate transfers and deliveries
of the Collateral or any portions thereof so sold and, for that purpose,
Mortgagee may execute all appropriate deeds and other instruments of transfer,
and may substitute one or more persons with like power. The Company and the IDB
hereby ratify all that said attorneys or such substitute or substitutes shall
lawfully do or cause to be done as such Mortgagor's attorney-in-fact consistent
with the foregoing. Nevertheless, the Company and the IDB shall ratify and
confirm, or cause to be ratified and confirmed, any such sale or sales by
executing and delivering, or by causing to be executed and delivered, to
Mortgagee or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be
advisable (in accordance with an opinion of counsel, upon which Mortgagee may
conclusively rely) for such purpose, and as may be designated in such request.
The Company and the IDB also authorize said attorneys or such substitute or
substitutes, during a Trigger Event Period, to communicate in its own name with
any party to any Project Contracts at any time, with regard to any matter
relating to such Project Contracts. Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of
this Mortgage, whether under the power of sale hereunder, or by virtue of
judicial process or a judgment or decree of purchase and sale, to the extent not
prohibited by Law, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title,
interest, property, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at Law or in equity, of
either Mortgagor in, to and under the Collateral, or any portions thereof so
sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at Law and in equity against such
Mortgagor and
-30-
against any and all persons claiming or who may claim to have any rights with
respect to the sale, or any part thereof, by, through or under such Mortgagor.
The powers and agency herein granted are coupled with an interest and are
irrevocable. Upon a sale of the Collateral, in whole or in part, under and by
virtue of the provisions of this Mortgage, every purchaser shall have immediate
and peaceable possession of the Collateral to the extent sold; and if either
Mortgagor shall remain in possession after the effective date of such sale, such
possession shall be as a tenancy at sufferance only, giving unto the purchaser
all remedies by way of summary possession or otherwise under applicable Law for
recovery of possession.
(d) All rights of action under this Mortgage or the other Security
Documents may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be enforced by
Mortgagee without the possession or production thereof at any trial or other
proceeding relative thereto.
(e) Mortgagee shall have the right, from time to time, to bring an
appropriate action to recover any sums required to be paid by the Company under
the terms of this Mortgage, as they become due, without regard to whether or not
the Secured Obligations secured by this Mortgage shall be due, and without
prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of
foreclosure, or any other action, for any default by either Mortgagor existing
at the time the earlier action was commenced.
(f) Mortgagee may exercise any and all rights granted to
"Leasehold Mortgagee" under any of the Conveyance Leases.
(g) Mortgagee may consult, at the Company's expense, with counsel (who
may or may not be counsel to the Company), and the opinion of such counsel shall
be full and complete authorization and protection, and Mortgagee shall be
entitled to conclusively rely on such opinion of counsel, in respect of any
action taken or not taken or suffered by Mortgagee under this Mortgage.
The proceeds of any foreclosure, collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale pursuant to this Section 21 shall be applied
by Mortgagee in accordance with Article VI of the Intercreditor Agreement.
22. Mortgagor as Tenant Holding Over. In the event of any foreclosure
sale by Mortgagee, either Mortgagor 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.
23. Leases. Mortgagee is authorized (but not obligated) to
subordinate this Mortgage to any Leases and to foreclose this
Mortgage subject to the rights of any tenants of the Collateral,
provided that the failure to so subordinate or to make any such
tenants parties to any such foreclosure proceedings and to
foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted to be by either
-31-
Mortgagor, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Mortgagee to collect the
Secured Obligations.
MISCELLANEOUS
24. Filing of Mortgage, etc. The Company forthwith, upon the execution
and delivery of this Mortgage and thereafter, from time to time, will cause this
Mortgage and any security instrument creating a Lien or evidencing or perfecting
the Lien hereof upon the Collateral and each instrument of further assurance to
be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be
required by any present or future Law in order to publish notice of and fully to
protect, preserve and perfect the Lien hereof upon, and the interest of
Mortgagee in the Collateral. The Company will pay all filing, registration or
recording fees, and all expenses incurred by Mortgagee incident to the
preparation, execution and acknowledgment of this Mortgage, any mortgage or deed
of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the
Collateral and any instrument of further assurance, and all Federal, State,
County, City and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges
arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Mortgage, any mortgage or deed of trust supplemental hereto, any security
instrument with respect to the Collateral or any financing statement,
continuation statement or other instrument of further assurance, including all
documentary stamp taxes and intangible personal property taxes, if any. The
Company shall hold harmless and indemnify Mortgagee, its successors and assigns,
against any liability, damages, legal expenses, interest and penalties, and
intervening Liens, incurred by reason of the imposition of any tax on the making
and recording of this Mortgage, including, but not limited to, annual mortgage
privilege or recordation tax, or surety bonds for the same.
25. Usury Laws. This Mortgage and the other Financing Documents are
subject to the express condition that at no time shall either Mortgagor be
obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due under the
Secured Obligations at a rate that could subject the holders of the Secured
Obligations to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess
of the maximum interest rate that such Mortgagor is permitted by Law to contract
or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Mortgage or any other Financing
Document, either Mortgagor is at any time required or obligated to pay interest
on the principal balance due under any Financing Document at a rate in excess of
such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the Financing Document shall be
deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payments
in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied toward reduction of principal.
26. Option To Release Certain Real Estate. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Mortgage, Mortgagee hereby agrees, at
any time and from time to time, provided each Mortgagor is not in
default under any of the provisions of this Mortgage, and that no
Mortgage Event of Default then exists (of which a Responsible
-32-
Officer of Mortgagee has actual knowledge), to release from this Mortgage any
part of the Site with respect to which fee title is to be conveyed to a
railroad, public utility or public body in order that railroad service, utility
services or roads may be provided for the Collateral, upon receipt of:
(a) Copies of the instrument of release, in recordable
form;
(b) A certificate of such Mortgagor (i) stating that such
Mortgagor is not in default under any of the provisions of this
Mortgage and that no Mortgage Event of Default then exists, (ii) giving
an adequate legal description of that portion of the Site to be
released, (iii) stating the purpose for which the release is desired
and (iv) requesting such release;
(c) If applicable, a copy of the instrument conveying
the portion of the Site to be released;
(d) Any instrument or instruments required by the terms
of such release;
(e) A certificate of the Independent Engineer stating that, in
its opinion, (i) the release of the portion of the Site so proposed to
be released is necessary or desirable in order to obtain railroad
service, utility services or roads to benefit the Collateral, (ii) the
release so proposed to be made will not impair the use or usefulness of
the Collateral as a facility for the purposes for which it was designed
and will not materially impair the means of ingress there into and
egress therefrom and (iii) the release so proposed to be made is not
reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or
materially increase the likelihood of the future occurrence of a
Material Adverse Effect; and
(f) an opinion of counsel that the release is permitted by the
Financing Documents, all necessary consents, if any, have been obtained
and all conditions precedent to such release have been satisfied;
provided, however, that if the portion of the Site to be released has
transportation or utility facilities located upon it, such Mortgagor
shall retain an easement to use such facilities to the extent necessary
for the efficient operation of the Collateral.
Mortgagee agrees that upon receipt of the items required in this
Section 26, it will promptly execute and deliver to such Mortgagor the proposed
release prepared by such Mortgagor covering the portion of the Site to be
released. In the event of any such release, such Mortgagor shall not be entitled
to any postponement, abatement or diminution of amounts payable on account of
the indebtedness secured hereby. The Company shall pay all costs (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses, transfer taxes, and recording fees) relating
to such release.
-33-
27. Release of Collateral.
(a) The Company shall not sell, lease (as lessor), transfer or dispose
of any of the Collateral except in accordance with the Financing Documents.
(b) Upon the request of the Company, subject to compliance with the
Financing Documents, Mortgagee shall, at the Company's sole cost and expense,
deliver and cause to be delivered to the Company such instruments prepared by
the Company as are reasonably necessary to confirm the release of removed items
of the Equipment from the lien of this Mortgage and cancel any security interest
with respect thereto, provided that such request complies with the Financing
Documents. The Company shall pay all costs (including reasonable legal fees,
transfer taxes, and recording fees) relating to such release.
28. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision of this Mortgage, but this Mortgage shall
be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never
been contained herein or therein.
29. Notices. All notices, certificates or other communications
hereunder shall be sufficiently given and shall be deemed given three (3)
Business Days after mailing by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed as
follows: if to the Company, to it at the address of its usual place of business
in the first paragraph of this Mortgage, Attention: President, together with a

communications shall be sent.
30. Amendments, Changes and Modifications. This Mortgage may not be
effectively amended, restated, changed or otherwise modified, or terminated,
except as permitted under the other Financing Documents. Each Mortgagor shall
join in any such amendment, change, modification or termination if required for
such agreement to be effective under applicable Law. No waiver of any term,
covenant or provision of this Mortgage shall be effective unless given in
writing by Mortgagee, and if so given by Mortgagee, shall be effective only in
the specific instance in which given.
31. Fixture Financing Statement. This Mortgage shall be
recorded in the Office of the Judge of Probate, Mobile County,
Alabama and, from the date of its recording, this Mortgage shall be
-34-
effective as a fixture financing statement filed with respect to all property
constituting part of the Collateral that is or is to become fixtures. For the
purposes of the foregoing, each Mortgagor is the debtor (with its address as set
forth in the preamble of this Mortgage), Mortgagee is the secured party (with
its address as set forth in the preamble of this Mortgage), and one of more of
Xxxxx, S.D. Xxxxxx and Alabama State Docks Department, an agency of the State of
Alabama, is the record owner of the fee interest in the parcels comprising the
Site. Each Mortgagor has an interest of record in each such parcel of real
property in which such Mortgagor has granted a security interest in fixtures to
Mortgagee.
32. Invalidity of Certain Provisions. If the lien of this Mortgage is
invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Collateral, the unsecured or
partially secured portion of the Secured Obligations shall be completely paid
prior to the payment of the remaining and secured or partially secured portion
of the Secured Obligations and all payments made on the Secured Obligations,
whether voluntary or under foreclosure or other enforcement action or procedure,
shall be considered to have been first paid on and applied to the full payment
of that portion of the Secured Obligations that is not secured or fully secured
by the lien of this Mortgage.
33. No Merger. If both the lessor's and lessee's estates under any
lease or any portion thereof that constitutes a part of the Collateral shall, at
any time, become vested in one owner, this Mortgage and the lien created hereby
shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the doctrine of merger
and in such event Mortgagee shall continue to have and enjoy all of the rights
and privileges of Mortgagee as to the separate estates. In addition, upon the
foreclosure of the lien of this Mortgage on the Collateral pursuant to the
provisions hereof, any leases or subleases then existing and created by either
Mortgagor shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the Law of
merger or as a matter of Law or as a result of such foreclosure unless Mortgagee
or any purchaser at any such foreclosure sale shall so elect. No act by or on
behalf of Mortgagee or any such purchaser shall constitute a termination of any
lease or sublease unless Mortgagee or such purchaser shall give written notice
thereof to such tenant or subtenant.
34. Matters in Bankruptcy. To the extent permitted by applicable laws,
each Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee (a) its right under Section 365 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code and other applicable Laws to elect to assume
or reject any or all of the Conveyance Leases in the event of the bankruptcy or
insolvency of such Mortgagor and to elect to remain in possession under each of
the Conveyance Leases in the event of the bankruptcy of the lessor thereunder;
and (b) its claims and rights to the payment of the damages arising from a
rejection, if any, of any of the Conveyance Leases under Section 365 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Laws, it being agreed,
however, that provided no Mortgage Event of Default shall have occurred,
-35-
Mortgagee shall not make any decisions that affect any of the Conveyance Leases
in the event of the bankruptcy of the lessor thereunder, without such
Mortgagor's prior consent.
35. Environmental Matters.
(a) The Company shall comply, and shall use its best efforts to cause
all other Persons occupying or conducting operations on the Site or at the
Facilities to comply, in all material respects with all Environmental
Requirements pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Indenture and Section 4.7 of the IDB
Lease Agreement and to any comparable provision of the Working Capital Facility.
(b) The Company shall indemnify and hold Mortgagee and its officers,
directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all damages,
penalties, fines, claims, Liens, suits, liabilities, costs (including cleanup
costs) judgments and expenses (including attorneys', consultants' or experts'
fees and expenses) of every kind and nature suffered by or asserted against
Mortgagee as a direct or indirect result of (i) any warranty or representation
made by the Company regarding compliance with Environmental Requirements being
false or untrue in any respect or (ii) the Company, any of the Facilities, the
Site or any other Person occupying or conducting operations on the Site or at
the Facilities, that fail to comply with any Environmental Requirement,
including any Environmental Requirement relating to the elimination or removal
of Hazardous Materials.
(c) The Company's obligations to Mortgagee and its officers, directors,
employees and agents under this Section 35 shall not be limited to any extent by
the term of the First Mortgage Bonds, the Tax Exempt Bonds or the other
Financing Documents, and shall continue, survive, and remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding payment in full and satisfaction of the Mortgage or any
other Financing Document or foreclosure under this Mortgage or delivery of a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
36. Estoppel Affidavits. The Company, within ten (10) days after
written request from Mortgagee, shall furnish a written statement, setting forth
the unpaid principal of, and interest on, the Secured Obligations and confirming
that no offsets or defenses exist against payments owing to Mortgagee, including
principal or interest.
37. Assignment. Mortgagee may assign this Mortgage to any
successor Collateral Agent under and in accordance with the
Intercreditor Agreement.
38. Entire Agreement. Each Mortgagor acknowledges that the
Financing Documents set forth the entire agreement and
understanding of such Mortgagor and Mortgagee with respect to the
matters set forth therein, and no oral or other agreements,
understanding, representations or warranties exist with respect to
-36-
those matters other than those set forth in the Financing
Documents.
39. Action Affecting the Collateral.
(a) The Company agrees to appear in and contest any action or
proceeding purporting to adversely affect the security hereof or the rights or
powers of Mortgagee and to pay all costs and expenses of Mortgagee, including
costs of evidence of title and attorneys' fees and expenses, in any such action
or proceeding in which Mortgagee may appear.
(b) Mortgagee shall have the right to appear in and defend any action
or proceeding brought with respect to the Collateral and to bring any action or
proceeding, in the name and on behalf of either Mortgagor or Mortgagee, that
Mortgagee determines to be necessary or reasonably advisable to protect its
interest in the Collateral (i) if such Mortgagor fails to defend or bring such
action or proceeding, as appropriate, in a prompt and diligent manner, or
thereafter fails to proceed with diligence in the defense or prosecution of the
same or (ii) during a Trigger Event Period.
40. Actions by Mortgagee to Preserve the Collateral. Except as
hereinbefore expressly provided, during a Trigger Event Period, Mortgagee or any
Senior Secured Party (upon notice to Mortgagee and each other Senior Secured
Party), without obligation so to do and without notice to or demand upon either
Mortgagor and without releasing such Mortgagor from any obligation, may make any
payment or do any act as and in the manner provided in the Financing Documents
in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee or such Senior Secured Party may
deem necessary to protect the security hereof. In connection therewith (without
limiting any general powers of Mortgagee or such Senior Secured Party), each of
Mortgagee and such Senior Secured Party shall have and is hereby given the
right, but not the obligation, (i) to the fullest extent permitted in Law and in
accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Project Documents, to
make additions, alterations, repairs and improvements to the Collateral that it
may consider necessary to keep the Collateral in good condition and repair and
(ii) in exercising such powers, to pay necessary expenses, including engagement
of counsel or other necessary or desirable consultants. The Company shall,
immediately upon demand therefor by Mortgagee or such Senior Secured Party, pay
all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee or such Senior Secured Party in
connection with the exercise by Mortgagee or such Senior Secured Party of the
foregoing rights, including costs of evidence of title, court costs, appraisals,
surveys and attorneys' fees and expenses.
41. Remedies Not Exclusive. Mortgagee shall be entitled to
enforce payment and performance of any indebtedness or obligations
secured hereby and to exercise all rights and powers granted under
this Mortgage or under any other Security Document or any other
-37-
agreement or any Laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of
the indebtedness and obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be
otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, Lien, assignment
or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement,
whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein
contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee's right to realize
upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being
agreed that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other
security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as it may
in its absolute discretion determine. No remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by Law
provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at Law or in
equity or by statute. Every right, power or remedy given by any of the Security
Documents to Mortgagee may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee.
42. Relationship. Nothing herein is intended to create, or shall in any
event or under any circumstance be construed as creating, a partnership, joint
venture, tenancy-in- common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature
whatsoever between Mortgagee and each Mortgagor other than as lender and
borrower.
43. Time of the Essence. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT
TO EACH AND EVERY COVENANT, AGREEMENT AND OBLIGATION OF EACH
MORTGAGOR UNDER THIS MORTGAGE AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS.
44. Severance of Counterclaims. In the event of foreclosure of this
Mortgage, any and all counterclaims filed by either Mortgagor against Mortgagee,
to the extent permitted by Law, shall be severed by the court having
jurisdiction over the foreclosure action, for all purposes from the basic
foreclosure action, on an ex parte basis and without notice to such Mortgagor.
Each Mortgagor, by its execution and delivery hereof, hereby expressly consents
and agrees to such severance.
45. Notice Limiting Advances. Each Mortgagor hereby waives the right to
limit the maximum principal amount that may be secured by this Mortgage and in
accordance with the other Financing Documents and agrees that all sums advanced
under and pursuant to this Mortgage and any Financing Document shall be secured
hereby. The filing or attempted filing of any notice limiting, or purporting to
limit, the maximum principal amount that may be secured by this Mortgage shall
be a Mortgage Event of Default.
46. Governing Law. THIS MORTGAGE IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ALABAMA.
47. Shared Draftsmanship. If there shall be any ambiguity in
the terms of this Mortgage, the doctrine of construction that holds
that the language of the document shall be construed against its
-38-
drafter shall not apply as all parties have shared in the drafting
of this Mortgage.
48. No Third Party Beneficiary. This Mortgage and the other Security
Documents are for the sole benefit of each Mortgagor, Mortgagee, and all Senior
Secured Parties, and are not for the benefit of any third party, and no third
party shall gain any subrogation rights against either Mortgagor or in, to or
with respect to any portion of the Collateral by reason of this Mortgage or the
provisions hereof.
49. Security Only. This Mortgage is granted for security purposes only.
Accordingly, except as otherwise permitted by the Security Documents or as
otherwise specifically provided in this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall not, except
during a Trigger Event Period, enforce either Mortgagor's rights with respect to
the Collateral.
50. Release by Mortgagee. Upon the payment, performance and
satisfaction in full of the Secured Obligations, as set forth above in the
granting clause of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall at the Company's request and
expense, promptly release the lien of this Mortgage or reconvey the Collateral
to either Mortgagor or the person or persons entitled thereto by an appropriate
instrument duly acknowledged and in proper form for recording.
51. Further Assurances. The Company shall, at the sole cost of the
Company and without expense to Mortgagee, on demand, do, execute, acknowledge
and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages,
assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall,
from time to time, reasonably require for better assuring, conveying, assigning,
transferring and confirming unto Mortgagee the property and rights hereby
mortgaged or assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or that the Company
may be or may hereafter become bound to convey, mortgage or assign to Mortgagee,
or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms
of this Mortgage, or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage.
52. Limitation of Liability of Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Financing Documents, this
Mortgage has been executed by Bankers Trust Company not in its individual
capacity but solely as Mortgagee in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the
Intercreditor Agreement and, except in the case of its gross negligence or
willful misconduct, Bankers Trust Company in its individual capacity shall have
no liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other
obligations of Mortgagee hereunder or in any certificates, notices or agreements

of its duties or obligations hereunder, Mortgagee shall be subject to, and
entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Article VII of the
Intercreditor Agreement.

53. Conflict with Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Financing Documents, all
rights, duties, obligations and indemnities of Mortgagee hereunder (including
the standard of care pursuant to which it acts) shall be governed by the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, including the exercise of any and all
remedies hereunder. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall
control.
54. Effect of Termination of Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Intercreditor Agreement shall
be terminated while this Mortgage remains in effect, each reference in this
Mortgage to a Trigger Event shall be deemed to be a reference to an Event of
Default and no Senior Creditor Certificates under the Intercreditor Agreement
shall be required to be received by Mortgagee prior to its exercise of remedies
hereunder and the term "Mortgage Event of Default" shall be deemed to include
any Event of Default and the term "Trigger Event Period" shall be deemed to mean
the period commencing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and continuing
for so long as such Event of Default continues.
55. IDB Joinder. Mortgagee acknowledges and agrees that IDB is joined
as a party to this instrument solely for the purpose of conveying its right,
title, interest and estate in and to the IDB Properties and the other Collateral
to the lien, encumbrance, and effect of this Mortgage, as security for the
Secured Obligations, but the IDB shall not be responsible for paying any sums of
money or taking any affirmative actions whatsoever under or pursuant to the
terms of this Mortgage to perform any covenants or obligations hereunder or to
comply with any conditions or requirements hereunder. No money judgment shall
ever be sought or obtained by Mortgagee against IDB for any liabilities or
obligations under this Mortgage. Mortgagee also agrees with IDB that prior to
exercising any rights or remedies against the IDB Properties hereunder,
Mortgagee shall give written notice to IDB at the address indicated in the
introductory paragraph hereof specifying the nature of any breach or default
hereunder, and shall permit IDB to cure such breach or default within the period

56. Limited Recourse. Satisfaction of the obligations of the Company
(including pursuant to the Guaranty) and the IDB under this Mortgage shall be

in the Collateral, (b) any Member (other than Mobile Energy as provided in the

officer, director or employee of any Member or of the Company (other than the
Mobile Energy Parties and, in respect of any Southern Guaranty on deposit in any
Reserve Account Security Account, Southern).
-40-
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 56 to the contrary, (i) nothing
contained herein or in the Securities shall limit or otherwise prejudice in any
way the satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be non-recourse to any
monies or other assets of Mobile Energy acquired through or on account of its
right of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder to proceed against any
Person whomsoever (A) with respect to the enforcement of such Person's
obligations under any Project Document (including the Guaranty and any Southern
Guaranty) to which such Person is a party) or limit or otherwise prejudice in
any way the right of the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to proceed
against such Person with respect to the enforcement of such obligations or (B)
to the extent necessary to realize upon the Indenture Securities Collateral
granted hereunder or under the Security Documents and: (ii) any limitations of
