applied toward the payment of any of the principal or other amounts secured by this Mortgage, in whatever order Mortgagee shall elect, with the excess, if any, over the amounts secured by this Mortgage to be repaid to the Mortgagor, without impairing the Mortgagor’s duties under this Mortgage. In the event of loss with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee thereof and Mortgagee may make any proof of loss not promptly made by the Mortgagor. In the event of foreclosure or other disposition of the Mortgaged Property in partial or full payment of the amounts secured by this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to all of the Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to all policies of insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the right to collect any unearned premium refund relating to such policies.
6. Installments for Insurance. Taxes and Other Charges. Upon the demand of the Mortgagee, if required by Mortgagee, and without limiting the effect of Paragraphs 2 and 5 hereof, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, monthly with the monthly installments of principal and interest, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual premiums for the insurance policies referred to hereinabove and the annual real estate taxes, water charges and sewer rents, any special assessments, charges or claims and any other item which at any time may be or become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property prior to the lien of this Mortgage; and on demand from time to time Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee any additional sums necessary to pay the premiums and other items all as estimated by Mortgagee; the amounts so paid shall be security for the premiums and other items and shall be used in payment thereof if Mortgagor is not otherwise in default hereunder. No amount so paid shall be deemed to be trust funds but may be commingled with general funds of Mortgagee, and no interest shall be payable thereon. If, pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, the whole amount of the unpaid principal debt becomes due and payable, Mortgagee shall have the right, at its election, to apply any amount so held against the entire indebtedness secured hereby. At Mortgagee’s option, Mortgagee from time to time may waive, in writing, and after any such waiver may reinstate, the provisions of this paragraph requiring the monthly payments.
7. Corporate Existence and Taxes. If Mortgagor or any successor or grantee of Mortgagor is a corporation, it shall keep in effect its existence and rights as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation and its right to own property and transact business in the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated during the entire time that it has any ownership interest in the Mortgaged Property. For all periods during which title to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall be held by a corporation or association subject to corporate taxes or taxes similar to corporate taxes, Mortgagor shall file returns for such taxes with the proper authorities, bureaus or departments and it shall pay, when due and payable and before interest or penalties are due thereon, all taxes owing by Mortgagor to the United States, to such state of incorporation and to the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated and any political subdivision thereof, and shall produce to Mortgagee receipts showing payment of any and all such taxes, charges or assessments prior to the last dates upon which such taxes, charges or assessments are payable without interest or penalty charges, and within ten (10) days of receipt thereof all settlements, notices of deficiency or overassessment and any other notices pertaining to Mortgagor’s tax liability, which may be issued by the United States, such state of incorporation, the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated and any political subdivision thereof.

6 |
9. Other Taxes. If any law or ordinance now or hereafter imposes a tax directly or indirectly on Mortgagee with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the value of Mortgagor’s equity therein, or the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall promptly pay such tax. If Xxxxxxxxx fails to pay such tax or if Mortgagor is not lawfully permitted to pay such tax, Mortgagee, at its election, shall have the right at any time to give Xxxxxxxxx written notice declaring that the principal debt, with interest and other appropriate charges, shall be due on a specified date not less than thirty (30) days thereafter; provided, however, that such election shall be ineffective if, prior to the specified date, Mortgagor lawfully pays the tax (in addition to all other payments required hereunder) and agrees to pay the tax whenever it becomes due and payable thereafter, which agreement shall then constitute a part of this Mortgage.
10. Security Agreement. Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree that this Mortgage shall constitute and shall be construed as a Security Agreement under the terms of the Uniform Commercial Code (hereinafter in this Paragraph referred to as the “Code”) as adopted by the State of Florida, from time to time, with respect to any property included in the definition of the word “Mortgaged Property”, which property may not be deemed to form a part of the real property described as the Premises or may not constitute a “fixture” (within the meaning provided in the Code), and all replacements of such property, substitutions for such property, additions to such property, and the proceeds thereof (all of said property described above, and the replacements, substitutions and additions thereto together with the proceeds thereof being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Collateral”), and that a first priority, perfected and continuing security interest in and to the Collateral located on the Mortgaged Property, is hereby granted to the Mortgagee, and the Collateral and all right, title and interest of Mortgagor therein, are hereby assigned to the Mortgagee, all to secure payment of the Note, and to secure performance by the Mortgagor of the terms, covenants and provisions hereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee, pursuant to the appropriate provisions of the Code, shall have the right, in addition to all other rights, to proceed with respect to the Collateral in accordance with its rights and remedies as a Secured Party under the Code. The parties agree that, in the event the Mortgagee shall elect to proceed with respect to the Collateral separately from the real property, ten (10) days written notice of the sale of the Collateral shall be reasonable notice. The reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by the Mortgagee shall include, but shall not be limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall, from time to time, on request of the Mortgagee, deliver to the Mortgagee an inventory of the Collateral in reasonable detail. Mortgagor covenants and represents that all Collateral now is, and that all replacements thereof, substitutions therefor or additions thereto, unless the Mortgagee otherwise consents, will be, free and clear of any other liens, encumbrances or security interests.
11. Compliance with Law and Regulations. Mortgagor shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations and orders of all Federal, State, municipal and other governmental authorities relating to the Mortgaged Property.
12. Inspection. Mortgagee and any persons authorized by Mortgagee shall have the right at any time, upon reasonable notice to Xxxxxxxxx and subject to the rights of any lessees, to enter the Mortgaged Property at a reasonable hour to inspect and photograph its condition and state of repair.
13. Declaration of No Setoff. Within one (1) week after requested to do so by Mortgagee in writing, Mortgagor shall certify to Mortgagee or to any proposed assignee of this Mortgage, in a writing duly acknowledged, the amount of principal, interest and other charges then owing on the obligation secured by this Mortgage and by prior or other liens, if any, and whether there are any setoffs or defenses against them. Within one (1) week after requested to do so by Xxxxxxxxx in writing, Mortgagee shall certify to Mortgagor in a writing duly acknowledged, the amount of principal, interest and other charges then owing on the obligation secured by this Mortgage.
7 |
14. Required Notices. Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee promptly of the occurrence of any of the following:
(a) a fire or other casualty causing material damage to the Mortgaged Property,
(b) receipt of notice of eminent domain proceedings or condemnation of the Mortgaged Property,
(c) receipt of any notice of violation from any governmental authority relating to the structure, use or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property,
(d) receipt of any notice from any tenant of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, pertaining to any alleged default by such tenant or by Xxxxxxxxx as landlord,
(e) substantial change in the occupancy of the Mortgaged Property,
(f) receipt of any notice from the holder of any lien or security interest in the Mortgaged Property indicating it intends to exercise remedies against the Mortgaged Property, or
(g) commencement of any litigation affecting the Mortgaged Property.
15. Condemnation.
(a) In the event of any condemnation or taking of any part of the Mortgaged Property by eminent domain, alteration of the grade of any street, or other injury to or decrease in the value of the Mortgaged Property by any public or quasi-public authority or corporation, all proceeds (that is, the award or agreed compensation for the damages sustained) allocable to Mortgagor, after deducting therefrom all reasonable costs and expenses (regardless of the particular nature thereof and whether incurred with or without suit) including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the collection of such proceeds, shall be used for the sole purpose of altering, restoring or rebuilding any part of the Mortgaged Property which may have been altered, damaged or destroyed as a result of the taking, alteration of grade or other injury to the Mortgaged Property. Provided, however, that in the event of a condemnation or taking of so much of the Mortgaged Property that the remainder thereof cannot, in Mortgagee’s reasonable discretion, continue to generate revenue sufficient to cover the payments due under the Note, then all proceeds shall be applicable first to payment of the indebtedness secured hereby. No settlement for the damages sustained shall be made by Mortgagor without Mortgagee’s prior written approval. Receipt by Mortgagee of any proceeds less than the full amount of the then outstanding debt shall not alter or modify Mortgagor’s obligation to continue to pay the installments of principal, interest and other charges specified in the Note and herein. If the condemnation proceeds are applied to the indebtedness, then such proceeds shall be applied in the order and in the amounts that Mortgagee, in Mortgagee’s sole discretion, may elect, to the payment of principal (whether or not then due and payable), interest or any sums secured by this Mortgage, or toward payment, after the aforesaid deductions, to Mortgagor, on such reasonable terms as Mortgagee may specify.
8 |
(b) If prior to the receipt of the proceeds by Mortgagee the Mortgaged Property shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall have the right to receive the proceeds to the extent of:
(i) the full amount of all such proceeds if Mortgagee is the successful purchaser at the foreclosure sale, or
(ii) if anyone other than Mortgagee is the successful purchaser at the foreclosure sale, any deficiency (as hereinafter defined) due to Mortgagee in connection with the foreclosure sale, with interest thereon at the rate set forth in the Note, and reasonable counsel fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Mortgagee in connection with collection of such proceeds of condemnation and the establishment of such deficiency. For purposes of this subparagraph (b)(ii), the word “deficiency” shall be deemed to mean the difference between (A) the net sale proceeds actually received by Mortgagee as a result of such foreclosure sale less any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with enforcement of its rights under the Note, this Mortgage and the other security instruments and (B) the aggregate amount of all sums which Mortgagee is entitled to collect under the Note, this Mortgage and the other security instruments.
(c) Upon failure of Mortgagor to diligently prosecute condemnation proceedings, Mortgagee shall have the right to prosecute to final determination or settlement on appeal condemnation proceedings or other appropriate proceedings in the name of Mortgagee or Mortgagor, for which Mortgagee is hereby appointed irrevocably as attorney-in-fact for Xxxxxxxxx, which appointment, being for security, is irrevocable. In that event, the expenses of the proceedings, including reasonable counsel fees, shall be paid first out of the proceeds, and only the excess, if any, paid to Mortgagee shall be credited against the amounts due under this Mortgage.
(d) Nothing herein shall limit the rights otherwise available to Mortgagee, at law or in equity, including the right to intervene as a party to any condemnation proceeding.
16. Leases. Upon receipt by Xxxxxxxxx, from time to time, of any security deposit, prepaid rent permitted to be collected by Mortgagor, if any (other than prepaid rent for the next succeeding calendar month), down payment or similar payments by a tenant, licensee or other user or a purchaser of all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor shall deposit such sum in a separate escrow account with a national bank having banking offices in the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee written notice of the name and address of the bank and the account number of the escrow account. Xxxxxxxxx shall also give written authorization to such bank to permit Mortgagee to receive any information requested by Mortgagee from the bank as to the status and balance of such account. Said sums shall be held in trust by Xxxxxxxxx and disbursed only upon the prior written approval of Mortgagee. The prior written consent of Mortgagee shall not be required when by law or agreement Mortgagor is required to return any of such sums to the party who deposited it with Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby assigns all of such bank accounts to Mortgagee as collateral security for the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and Xxxxxxxxx agrees that after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the sums in said bank account (excluding any and all security deposits which are required by law and/or the terms of any specific lease to remain in escrow) shall be payable, at the election of Mortgagee, to Mortgagee as assignee of such bank accounts; provided, however that Mortgagee shall have no liability for any misapplication of said sums by Xxxxxxxxx.
9 |
17. Assignment of Rents and Profits. Mortgagor unconditionally assigns and transfers to Mortgagee all of the rents and revenues of the property. Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee or Mortgagee’s agent to collect the rents and revenues and hereby directs each tenant of the property to pay the rents to Mortgagee or Mortgagee’s agent. However, prior to Mortgagee’s notice to Mortgagor of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Xxxxxxxxx shall be entitled to collect the rents, issues and profits from the Premises as trustee for the benefit of the Mortgagor and Mortgagee. This assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. In the event the Mortgagor should assign the rents of the mortgaged premises or any part thereof without the express written consent of the Mortgagee, then the entire principal sum secured hereby shall, at the sole option of the Mortgagee, become immediately due and payable. This assignment terminates automatically upon satisfaction of this Mortgage.
18. No Other Financing or Liens.
(a) Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall not enter into any lease of personal property, as lessee, which is now or hereafter intended to be a part of the Mortgaged Property or is necessary for the operation of Mortgagor’s business at the Mortgaged Property, create or cause or permit to exist any lien on, or security interest in the Mortgaged Property, including any furniture, fixtures, appliances, machinery, equipment, or other items of personal property which are intended to be or become part of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall not incur any indebtedness for money borrowed to purchase the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any personal property or fixtures in substitution renewal or replacement of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, other than the indebtedness secured hereby and the liens heretofore approved in writing by Mortgagee, if any.
(b) Mortgagor shall have no right to permit the holder of any subordinate mortgage or other subordinate lien, whether or not consented to by Mortgagee, to terminate any lease of all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property whether or not such lease is subordinate (whether by law or the terms of such lease or a separate agreement) to the lien of this Mortgage without first obtaining the prior written consent of Mortgagee. The holder of any subordinate mortgage or other subordinate lien shall have no such right, whether by foreclosure of its mortgage or lien or otherwise, to terminate any such lease, whether or not permitted to do so by Mortgagor or as a matter of law, and any such attempt to terminate any such lease shall be ineffective and void without first obtaining the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
(c) No mortgage, lien or other encumbrance of any type, whether voluntary or involuntary shall be permitted to be filed or entered against the Mortgaged Property without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. If any such mortgage, lien or other encumbrance is filed or entered, Xxxxxxxxx shall have it removed of record within thirty (30) days after it is filed or entered by either paying it, having it bonded in a manner which removes it of record or otherwise having it removed of record. By placing a mortgage, lien or other encumbrance of any type, whether voluntary or involuntary, against the Mortgaged Property the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, without any further act or documentation being required, that its mortgage, lien, or encumbrance shall be subordinated in lien to any future amendments, consolidations or extensions to this Mortgage (including, without limitation, amendments which increase the interest rate on the Note, provide for future advances secured by this Mortgage or provide for the release of portions of the Mortgaged Property with or without consideration).

19. No Transfer.
(a) Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will abstain from and will not cause or permit, to the extent it may do so, any transfer of title to, beneficial interest in, or any estate or interest in, the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, voluntarily or by operation of law (other than by death or by execution on the Note or foreclosure under this Mortgage); or any issuance or transfer of a majority of stock in Mortgagor if Mortgagor is a corporation, or of a majority of interests in Mortgagor if Mortgagor is a partnership or joint venture, whether by sale, exchange, conveyance, merger, consolidation or otherwise; or any agreement to do any of the foregoing (including, but not limited to, an installment sale contract), whereby the purchaser or transferee or assignee would be entitled to possession of the Mortgaged Property prior to the proposed transfer, sale or assignment, provided, however, that Mortgagor shall be permitted to transfer title to a subsidiary or entity under common control with Mortgagor (a “Permitted Transferee”) upon at least twenty (20) days prior written notice to Mortgagee and the assignment and assumption of this Mortgage by the Permitted Transferee and the execution by the Permitted Transferee and/or the Mortgagor of such other documents and agreements requested by the Agent (a “Permitted Transfer”). Any such assignment and assumption shall not relieve the Mortgagor of any of its obligations under the Mortgage, Note and Loan Agreement, any other Borrower from its obligations under the Note or the Loan Agreement or any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Agreement.
(b) Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee and except for a Permitted Transfer, Mortgagor will not make any change in the organization or composition of Mortgagor or any entities constituting Mortgagor.

If Mortgagee agrees to consent in writing to any transfer, such consent shall apply only to that specific transfer set forth in Mortgagee’s written consent. Mortgagee may impose, as a condition to its consent to a transfer, such requirements as it desires, in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, that the proposed transferee satisfies Mortgagee’s then existing credit and other standards; that the proposed transferee enter into a written assumption agreement with respect to the Note and this Mortgage, that an assumption fee, in an amount to be determined by Mortgagee, be paid to Mortgagee at the time of the transfer. Nothing contained in this Paragraph is intended to require Mortgagee to consent to any transfer; nor is anything contained in this Paragraph intended to impose a standard on the discretion of Mortgagee to grant or withhold such consent.

(c) Any assignment for the benefit of creditors made by OBLIGOR.
(d) Appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee of OBLIGOR or of any of the property of OBLIGOR, insolvency of OBLIGOR or the filing by or against OBLIGOR of any petition for the bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement of Mortgagor pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state statute, or the institution of any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of OBLIGOR, if the OBLIGOR admits in writing the inability to pay its debts as they mature, provided however, that the filing of an involuntary bankruptcy petition as against OBLIGOR shall not constitute an event of default if such petition (and the resulting proceeding) is dismissed within thirty (30) days after the date same was filed.

(h) Upon the death or mental incapacity of any OBLIGOR who is a natural person, or the dissolution or merger or consolidation or termination of the existence of any OBLIGOR that is a business entity (or if any person controlling such Mortgagor shall take any action authorizing or leading to same) and a replacement OBLIGOR reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee is not provided within thirty (30) days thereof.
(i) There shall be any material adverse change to the Mortgaged Property.
(j) Failure to pay when due any ad valorem taxes or property insurance premiums.

(a) Upon the happening of any Event of Default, the entire unpaid balance of the principal, the accrued interest and all other sums secured by this Mortgage shall become immediately due and payable, at the option of Mortgagee, without notice or demand. In order to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage because of the failure of Mortgagor to pay any tax, assessment, insurance premium, or any other obligation upon the Property, as herein provided, it shall not be necessary that the Mortgagee shall first pay same.
(b) When the entire indebtedness shall become due and payable, either because of maturity or because of the occurrence of any Event of Default, or otherwise, then forthwith:
(i) Foreclosure. Mortgagee may institute an action to foreclose this Mortgage, or take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage and realization on the mortgage security or any other security herein or elsewhere provided for, as the law may allow, and may proceed therein to final judgment and execution for the entire unpaid balance of the principal debt, with interest at the rate stipulated in the Note to the date of default, and thereafter at the Default Rate specified in the Note, together with all other sums due by Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions of the Note and this Mortgage, and all sums which may have been advanced by Mortgagee for taxes, water or sewer rents, charges or claims, payments on prior liens, insurance or repairs to the Mortgaged Property, all out-of-pocket costs of suit at trial and appellate levels, together with interest at such rate on any judgment obtained by Mortgagee from and after the date of any foreclosure sale until actual payment is made to Mortgagee of the full amount due Mortgagee, and reasonable attorney’s fees at trial and appellate levels.
13 |
(ii) Possession. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee may enter into possession of the Mortgaged Property, with or without legal action, and by force if necessary; collect therefrom all rentals (which term shall also include sums payable for use and occupation) and, after deducting all out-of-pocket costs of collection and administration expenses, apply the net rentals to any or all of the following in such order and amounts as Mortgagee, in Mortgagee’s sole discretion, may elect:
the payment of taxes, water and sewer rents, charges and claims, insurance premiums and all other carrying charges, and to the maintenance, repair or restoration of the Mortgaged Property, and on account and in reduction of the principal or interest, or both, hereby secured; in and for that purpose Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all rentals due and to become due under any lease or leases or rights to use and occupation of the Mortgaged Property hereafter created, as well as all rights and remedies provided in such lease or leases or at law or in equity for the collection of the rentals. Mortgagee shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver of all the rents, issues and profits, as a matter of strict right, regardless of the value of the Mortgaged Property and the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor and other persons liable to pay such indebtedness. Xxxxxxxxx hereby specifically waives the right to object to the appointment of a receiver as aforesaid and hereby expressly consents that such appointment shall be made as an admitted equity and that the same may be done without notice to Xxxxxxxxx.
(c) Mortgagee shall have the right, from time to time, to bring an appropriate action to recover any sums required to be paid by Xxxxxxxxx under the terms of this Mortgage, as they become due, without regard to whether or not the principal indebtedness or any other sums secured by the Note and this Mortgage shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of Mortgage foreclosure, or any other action, for any Event of Default by Mortgagor existing at the time the earlier action was commenced.
(d) Any real estate sold pursuant to this Mortgage or pursuant to any judicial proceedings under this Mortgage or the Note may be sold in one parcel, as an entirety, or in such parcels and in such manner or order as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect.

(f) Upon, or at any time after the filing of an action to foreclose this Mortgage, the court in which such action is filed may, at the request of Mortgagee, appoint a receiver of the Mortgaged Property. Such appointment may be made either before or after sale, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor at the time of application for such receiver and without regard to either the then value of the Mortgaged Property, the adequacy or inadequacy of any remedy available at law, the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor or any other person liable for payment of such indebtedness or whether the Mortgaged Property shall be then occupied as a homestead or not, and Mortgagee hereunder or any agent of Mortgagee may be appointed as such receiver. Such receiver shall have the power to perform all of the acts permitted Mortgagee pursuant to subparagraph (b)(ii) above and such other powers which may be necessary or are customary in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Mortgaged Property during such period.

(a) The rights and remedies of Mortgagee as provided in this Mortgage and in the Note shall be cumulative and concurrent; may be pursued separately, successively or together against Mortgagor or against the Mortgaged Property, or both, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise. The failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.
(b) Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance by Xxxxxxxxx of any of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage or of the Note shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of the Mortgage and Note, and Mortgagee shall have the right thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Xxxxxxxxx of any and all of them.
(c) Neither Mortgagor nor any other person now or hereafter obligated for payment of all or any part of the sums now or hereafter secured by this Mortgage shall be relieved or discharged of such obligation by reason of the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request of Mortgagor or of any other person so obligated to take action to foreclose on this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any provisions of this Mortgage or the Note, or by reason of the release, regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the security held for the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, or by reason of any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagee extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of the Mortgage or Note without first having obtained the consent of Mortgagor or such other person; and in the latter event Mortgagor and all such other persons shall continue to be liable to make payments according to the terms of any such extension or modification agreement, unless expressly released and discharged in writing by Mortgagee.
(d) Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration, any part of the security held for the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage or its priority over any subordinate lien.
(e) For payment of the indebtedness secured hereby Mortgagee may resort to any other security therefore held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect.
(f) The receipt by Mortgagee of any sums from Mortgagor after the date on which Mortgagee elects to accelerate the indebtedness secured hereby by reason of an Event of Default hereunder or under the Note shall not constitute a cure or waiver of such Event of Default or a reinstatement of the Note or Mortgage unless Mortgagee expressly agrees, by written notice to Xxxxxxxxx, that such payment shall be accepted as a cure or waiver of the default.
15 |
24. Mortgagor’s Waiver. Mortgagor hereby waives and releases:
(a) all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future law exempting the Mortgaged Property, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale on execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process or extension of time for payment; and
(b) unless specifically required herein, all notices of Xxxxxxxxx’s default or of Mortgagee’s election to exercise, or Mortgagee’s actual exercise of any option under the Note or this Mortgage.
25. Counsel Fees. If Mortgagee becomes a party to any suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, appellate and bankruptcy proceedings) affecting the Mortgaged Property or title thereto, the lien created by this Mortgage or Mortgagee’s interest therein, or if Mortgagee has engaged counsel to prepare or review the Note, or if after the closing of the loan secured by this Mortgage Mortgagee engages counsel for any reason concerning the Note, this Mortgage, or any other documents securing the Note, or if Mortgagee engages counsel to collect any of the indebtedness or to enforce performance of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions or stipulations of this Mortgage or the Note, Mortgagee’s out-of-pocket costs, expenses and reasonable counsel fees, whether or not suit is instituted, shall be paid to Mortgagee by Xxxxxxxxx, on demand, with interest at the then effective rate set forth in the Note, and until paid they shall be deemed to be part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by this Mortgage.
26. Further Assurances. Xxxxxxxxx will execute and deliver such further instruments and perform such further acts as may be requested by Mortgagee from time to time to confirm the provisions of this Mortgage or the Note, to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Mortgage or the other documents securing the Note, or to confirm the priority of the lien created by this Mortgage on any property, rights or interest encumbered or intended to be encumbered by the lien of this Mortgage or the other documents securing the Note.
27. Severability and Savings Clauses. If any provision of this Mortgage is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a Court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect and shall be liberally construed in favor of Mortgagee in order to effect the provisions of this Mortgage. In addition, in no event shall the rate of interest under the Note or this Mortgage exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by the applicable law (including the choice of law rules) and any interest paid in excess of the permitted rate shall be refunded to Mortgagor. Such refund shall be made by application of the excessive amount of interest paid against any sums outstanding under the Note and shall be applied in such order as Mortgagee may determine. If the excessive amount of interest paid exceeds the sums outstanding under the Note the portion exceeding the said sums outstanding under the Note shall be refunded in cash by Mortgagee. Any such crediting or refund shall not cure or waive any default by Mortgagor hereunder or under the Note. Xxxxxxxxx agrees, however, that in determining whether or not any interest payable under the Note or this Mortgage exceeds the highest rate permitted by law, any non-principal payment (except payments specifically stated in the Note to be “interest”) including, without limitation, prepayment fees and late charges shall be deemed to the extent permitted by law, to be an expense, fee, premium or penalty rather than as interest.
