THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS.
Section 2.1
Purpose of Securing. Xxxxxxxxx makes the grant, conveyance, transfer and assignment set forth in Article 1 (Xxxxx), makes the irrevocable and absolute assignment set forth in Article 3 (Assignment of Leases and Rents), and grants the security interest set forth in Article 4 (Security Interest in Related Personalty), all for the purpose of securing the following obligations (the “Secured Obligations”) in any order of priority that Mortgagee may choose:
(a)
Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith given by Mortgagor in favor of Mortgagee, pursuant to which Mortgagee made a loan to Mortgagor in the maximum principal amount of [______________] Dollars ([______________]), and having a final maturity date of [______________] (as the same may be increased, renewed, amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Promissory Note”), together with all interest, late charges, prepayment fees, additional interest, collection costs, fees, and expenses as provided in the Promissory Note, and any future advances of amounts available for borrowing under the Promissory Note, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law;

Payment and performance of all obligations of Mortgagor under this Mortgage;
(c)
Prompt and complete performance and observance of each and every covenant, obligation, or agreement of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage or contained in any other document or instrument given by Xxxxxxxxx to further evidence or secure the indebtedness represented by the Promissory Note, but excluding any separate environmental indemnity; and
(d)
Payment of any additional sums (and accrued interest) that may be loaned or advanced by Mortgagee to Mortgagor under any promissory note or notes evidencing loans that specifically state that they are secured by this Mortgage.
This Mortgage also secures payment of all obligations of Mortgagor under the Promissory Note which arise after the Promissory Note is extended, renewed, modified or amended pursuant to any written agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee, and all obligations of Mortgagor under any successor agreement or instrument which restates and supersedes the Promissory Note in its entirety.
This Mortgage does not secure any obligation which expressly states that it is unsecured, whether contained in the foregoing Promissory Note or in any other document, agreement or instrument. Unless specifically described in subparagraph (a) above, “Secured Obligations” shall not include any debts, obligations or liabilities which are or may hereafter be “consumer credit” subject to the disclosure requirements of the Federal Truth in Lending law or any regulation promulgated thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Mortgage does not and shall not in any event be deemed to, secure the obligations of Mortgagor owing to Mortgagee under the Environmental Indemnity executed in connection with the foregoing Promissory Note or any obligations that are the substantial equivalent thereof.
Section 2.2
Terms of Secured Obligations. All Persons who may have or acquire an interest in all or any part of the Secured Property will be considered to have notice of, and will be bound by, the terms of the Promissory Note described in Section 2.1(a) and each other agreement or instrument made or entered into in connection with each of the Secured Obligations.

Section 3.1
Assignment. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns to Mortgagee (i) all existing and future leases, subleases, licenses and other agreements for the use and occupancy of all or any part of the Secured Property, whether written or oral and whether for a definite term or month to month, together with all guarantees of the lessee’s obligations thereunder and together with all extensions, modifications and renewals thereof (hereinafter called the “Leases”), and (ii) all rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income and proceeds of the Secured Property, whether now due, past due or to become due, including all prepaid rents and security deposits (collectively, the “Rents”), and confers upon Mortgagee the right to collect such Rents with or without taking possession of the Secured Property. In the event that anyone establishes and exercises any right to develop, bore for or mine for any water, gas, oil or mineral on or under the surface of the Secured Property, any sums that may become due and payable to Mortgagor as bonus or royalty payments, and any damages or other compensation payable to Mortgagor in connection with the exercise of any such rights, shall also be considered Rents assigned under this Section 3.1. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENT, NOT AN ASSIGNMENT FOR SECURITY ONLY. Furthermore, upon execution, this Mortgage creates a present security interest in all Rents and Leases applicable to the Secured Property, enforceable by all rights and remedies under South Carolina law.
Section 3.2
Grant of License. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1, Mortgagee hereby confers upon Mortgagor a license (“License”) to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Promissory Note) shall exist and be continuing. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee shall have the right, which it may choose to exercise in its sole discretion, to terminate this License without notice to or demand upon Mortgagor, and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations.
Section 3.3

Section 3.5
Modification of Leases. Mortgagor, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, not to be unreasonably withheld, shall not: (i) cancel or accept the surrender of any Lease unless in Mortgagor’s good faith business judgement such cancelation or acceptance is in the best interest of Mortgagor; (ii) assign, transfer, pledge or encumber, the whole or any part of the Leases and Rents to anyone other than Mortgagee; (iii) except as otherwise provided herein, accept any Rents more than one (1) month in advance of the accrual thereof; or (iv) do or permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or omit or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, could be a material breach or default under the terms of any Lease or a basis for termination thereof.
Section 3.6
Mortgagee. Mortgagee does not assume and shall not be liable for any obligation of the lessor under any of the Leases and all such obligations shall continue to rest upon Mortgagor as though this assignment had not been made. Mortgagee shall not be liable for the failure or inability to collect any Rents unless due to Xxxxxx’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 3.7
Mortgagee In Possession. Neither the assignment of Leases and Rents contained herein or in any separate assignment nor the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its rights or remedies thereunder or in connection therewith, prior to Mortgagee obtaining actual possession of the Secured Property as provided in Articles 6 (Remedies) hereof, shall constitute Mortgagee a “mortgagee in possession” or otherwise make Mortgagee responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Secured Property or the occupancy, operation or use thereof. In the event Mortgagee, or its affiliate, obtains actual possession or control of the Secured Property as provided in Articles 6 (Remedies) hereof, Mortgagee shall be deemed a “mortgagee in possession” in which case Mortgagee shall have the rights, and Mortgagee’s liability shall be limited, as provided in that Section.

Security Agreement, Financing Statement, and Fixture Filing. This Mortgage shall be effective as and constitute a security agreement, financing statement, and fixture filing within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of South Carolina and is to be filed in the real estate records in lieu of a financing statement as a fixture filing pursuant to the UCC.
Insofar as any item of property included in the Secured Property which is or might be deemed to be “personal property” is concerned, this Mortgage is hereby made and declared to be a security agreement, granting a security interest in and to each and every item of such property included in the Secured Property (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Collateral”), in compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of South Carolina. A financing statement or statements reciting this Mortgage to be a security agreement, covering all of the Collateral, shall be appropriately filed. The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the security agreement herein contained shall be (i) as prescribed herein, or (ii) as prescribed by general law, or (iii) as prescribed by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted and specified in said Uniform Commercial Code, all at Mortgagee’s sole election. The mention of any such financing statement(s) of the rights in and to the proceeds of any hazard insurance policy, or any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or Mortgagor’s interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the Secured Property, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall never be construed as in any way altering any of the rights of Mortgagee as determined by this instrument or impugning the priority of Mortgagee’s lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document, but such mention in such financing statement(s) is declared to be for the protection of Mortgagee in the event any court shall at any time hold, with respect to any such matter, that notice of Mortgagee’s priority of interest, to be effective against a particular class of persons, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records. Mortgagor warrants that (i) Mortgagor’s (that is, “Debtor’s”) name, identity or organizational structure and residence or principal place of business are as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof; (ii) Mortgagor (that is, “Debtor”) has been using or operating under said name, identity or organizational structure without change for the time period set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof; and (iii) the location of all collateral constituting fixtures is upon the Land. Mortgagor covenants and agrees that Xxxxxxxxx will furnish Mortgagee with notice of any change in name, identity, organizational structure, residence or principal place of business within sixty (60) days of the effective date of any such change and Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee to file any financing statements or other instruments deemed necessary by Mortgagee to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status. The information contained in this Section 5.27 is provided in order that this Mortgage shall comply with the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in the State of South Carolina, for instruments to be filed as financing statements. The names of the “Debtor” and the “Secured
Party”, the identity or organizational structure and residence or principal place of business of “Debtor”, and the time period for which “Debtor” has been using or operating under said name and identity or organizational structure without change, are as set forth in Schedule 1 of Exhibit B attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof; the mailing address of the “Secured Party” from which information concerning the security interest may be obtained, and the mailing address of “Debtor”, are as set forth in Schedule 2 of said Exhibit B attached hereto; and a statement indicating the types, or describing the items, of collateral is set forth in this Mortgage.

When all time periods then legally mandated have expired, and after such notice of sale as may then be legally required has been given, Mortgagee may sell the Personalty at a public sale to be held at the time and place specified in the notice of sale. It shall be deemed commercially reasonable for the Mortgagee to dispose of the Personalty without giving any warranties as to the Personalty and specifically disclaiming all disposition warranties. Alternatively, Mortgagee may choose to dispose of some or all of the Secured Property, in any combination consisting of both personal property and real property, in one sale to be held in accordance with the law and procedures applicable to real property, as and to the extent permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law.

The filing of any financing statement relating to any such property or rights or interests will not be construed to diminish or alter any of Mortgagee’s rights or priorities under this Mortgage.

Section 7.12
Governing Law.
(a)
The Promissory Note and the other Loan Documents relating to the Secured Obligations shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Washington (regardless of conflict of laws principles, the location of the Secured Property or the place of business, location or domicile of Mortgagor), except to the extent superseded by federal law. Any suit, if permitted, may be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of Washington located in the City of Seattle, King County, or of the United States for the Western District of Washington, and Mortgagor hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such proceeding or that such proceeding is brought in an inconvenient court. Xxxxxxxxx agrees that the laws or procedural rules of any jurisdiction except for Washington purporting to limit or affect Mortgagee’s ability to enforce its rights as set forth in this Mortgage and any other documents referred to herein (including, without limitation, any fair value, security-first, security-only, or one-action provisions) are not applicable to the enforcement of Mortgagee’s rights thereunder.

(b)
Notwithstanding subparagraph (a) above, the laws of South Carolina shall (i) govern the creation, perfection and priority of security interests upon real property or personal property perfected by filing, possession or control in the State of South Carolina, (ii) govern the procedures regarding Mortgagee’s enforcement of its foreclosure and other remedies with respect to such real property or personal property, and (iii) apply in determining the legal requirements applicable to the care and preservation of the Secured Property.

In any action by Mortgagee to recover a deficiency judgment for any balance due under the Promissory Note after a foreclosure of this Mortgage or in any action to recover or compel the performance of the Secured Obligations, Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the successful bid amount made at any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale, if any, will be deemed conclusively to constitute the fair market value of the Secured Property, will be binding against Mortgagor in any proceeding seeking to determine or contest the fair market value of the Secured Property, and will be the preferred alternative means of determining and establishing the fair market value of the Secured Property provided such sell was conducted in accordance with applicable law.

Waiver of Marshaling.

The laws of South Carolina provide that in any real estate foreclosure proceedings a defendant against whom a personal judgment is taken or asked may within thirty (30) days after the sale of the mortgaged property apply to the court for an order of appraisal.
