securing or guarantying the Indebtedness (except any Certificate and

that the interest rate or payment terms or balance due may be indexed,

Borrower represents and warrants that Borrower has good, marketable
and insurable title to, and the right to grant, convey and assign an
indefeasible fee simple estate in, the Premises, Improvements, rents and
leases (or, if this Instrument is on a leasehold, good, marketable and
insurable title to, and the right to convey the leasehold estate and that
the ground lease is in full force and effect without modification except as
noted above and without default on the part of either lessor or lessee
thereunder), and the right to convey the other Property, that the Property
is unencumbered except as disclosed in writing to and approved by Lender
prior to the date hereof, and that Borrower will warrant and forever defend
unto Lender the title to the Property against all claims and demands,
subject only to the permitted exceptions set forth in Exhibit H to the Real
Estate Loan Agreement.
Borrower represents, warrants, covenants and agrees for the benefit
of Lender as follows:
Section 1. Payment of Principal and Interest. Borrower shall
promptly pay when due the principal of and interest on the Indebtedness,
any prepayment and other charges provided in the Loan Documents and all
other sums secured by this Instrument.
Section 2. Funds for Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (hereinafter defined), and at Lender's
sole option at any time thereafter, Borrower shall pay in addition to each
monthly payment on the Loan Agreements, one-twelfth of the annual real
estate taxes, insurance premiums, assessments, water and sewer rates,
ground rents and other charges (the "Impositions") payable with respect to
the Property (as estimated by Lender in its sole discretion), to be held by
Lender without interest to Borrower, for the payment of such obligations.
If the amount of such additional payments held by Lender (the
"Funds") at the time of the annual accounting thereof shall exceed the
amount deemed necessary by Lender to provide for the payment of Impositions
as they fall due, such excess shall be at Borrower's option, either repaid
to Borrower or credited to Borrower on the next monthly installment or
installments of Funds due. If at any time the amount of the Funds held by
Lender shall be less than the amount deemed necessary by Lender to pay
Impositions as they fall due, Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount
necessary to make up the deficiency within thirty (30) days after notice
from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.
Upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in
this Instrument, Lender may apply, in any amount and in any order as Lender
shall determine in Lender's sole discretion, any Funds held by Lender at
the time of application (i) to pay Impositions which are now or will
hereafter become due, or (ii) as a credit against sums secured by this
Instrument. Upon payment in full of all sums secured by this Instrument,
Lender shall refund to Borrower any Funds held by Lender.
Section 3. Application of Payments. Unless applicable law provides
otherwise, each complete installment payment received by Lender from
Borrower under the Loan Agreements or this Instrument shall be applied by
Lender first in payment of amounts payable to Lender by Borrower under
Section 2 hereof, then to interest payable on the Loan Agreements, then to
principal of the Loan Agreements, and then to interest and principal on any
Future Advances in such order as Lender, at Lender's sole discretion, shall
determine. Upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower
in this Instrument, Lender may apply, in any amount and in any order as
Lender shall determine in Lender's sole discretion, any payments received
by Lender under the Loan Agreements or this Instrument. Any partial
payment received by Lender shall, at Lender's option, be held in a non-
interest bearing account until Lender receives funds sufficient to equal a
complete installment payment.
Section 4. Charges, Liens. Borrower shall pay all Impositions
attributable to the Property in the manner provided under Section 2 hereof
or, if not paid in such manner, by Borrower making payment, when due,
directly to the payee thereof, or in such other manner as Lender may
designate in writing. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly
furnish to Lender all notices of Impositions which become due, and in the
event Borrower shall make payment directly, Borrower shall promptly furnish
to Lender receipts evidencing such payments. Borrower shall promptly
discharge any lien which has, or may have, priority over or equality with,
the lien of this Instrument, and Borrower shall pay, when due, the claims
of all persons supplying labor or materials to or in connection with the
Property. Without Lender's prior written permission, Borrower shall not
allow any lien inferior to this Instrument to be perfected against the
Property. If any lien inferior to this Instrument is filed against the
Property without Lender's prior written permission and without the consent
of Borrower, Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after receiving notice
of the filing of such lien, cause such lien to be released of record and to
deliver evidence of such release to Lender.
Section 5. Insurance. Borrower shall obtain and maintain the types
of insurance required by the Loan Agreements, and upon any loss, theft,
damage or destruction of the Property, the proceeds of such insurance shall
be disbursed as provided by Section 9.01 of the Loan Agreements.
Section 6. Preservation and Maintenance of Property; Leaseholds.
Borrower (a) shall not commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration
of the Property, (b) shall not abandon the Property, (c) shall restore or
repair promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner all or any part of the
Property to the equivalent of its original condition, or such other
condition as Lender may approve in writing, in the event of any damage,
injury or loss thereto, whether or not insurance proceeds are available to
cover in whole or in part the costs of such restoration or repair unless
Borrower elects to prepay the Loan and Bond (as both terms are defined by
the Real Estate Loan Agreement) pursuant to the terms of Section 2.08(b)
and Section 9.01 of the Real Estate Loan Agreement, (d) shall keep the
Property, including all improvements, fixtures, equipment, machinery and
appliances thereon, in good repair and shall replace fixtures, equipment,
machinery and appliances on the Property when necessary to keep such items
in good repair, (e) shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations and
requirements of any governmental body applicable to the Property, (f) if
all or part of the Property is for rent or lease, then Lender, at its
option after the occurrence of an Event of Default, may require Borrower to
provide for professional management of the Property by a property manager
satisfactory to Lender pursuant to a contract approved by Lender in
writing, unless such requirement shall be waived by Lender in writing, (g)
shall generally operate and maintain the Property in a manner to ensure
fair market value rentals, and (h) shall give notice in writing to Lender
of and, unless otherwise directed in writing by Lender, appear in and
defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, the
security of this Instrument or the rights or powers of Lender hereunder.
Neither Borrower nor any tenant or other person, without the written
approval of Lender, shall remove, demolish or alter any improvement now
existing or hereafter erected on the Property or any fixture, equipment,
machinery or appliance in or on the Property except when incident to the
replacement of fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances with items of
like kind.
Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that the Property is and
shall be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and
all of the regulations promulgated thereunder, as the same may be amended
from time to time.
Section 7. Use of Property. Unless required by applicable law or
unless Lender has otherwise agreed in writing, Borrower shall not allow
changes in the use for which all or any part of the Property was intended
at the time this Instrument was executed. Borrower shall not, without
Lender's prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld, (a) initiate or acquiesce in a change in the zoning
classification (including any variance under any existing zoning ordinance
applicable to the Property), (b) permit the use of the Property to become a
non-conforming use under applicable zoning ordinances, (c) file any
subdivision or parcel map affecting the Property, or (d) amend, modify or
consent to any easement or covenants, conditions and restrictions
pertaining to the Property.
Section 8. Protection of Lender's Security. If Borrower fails to
perform any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Instrument,
or if any action or proceeding is commenced which affects the Property or
title thereto or the interest of Lender therein, including, but not limited
to, eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements or
proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then Lender at Lender's
option may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such action
as Lender deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect Lender's
interest, including, but not limited to, (a) disbursement of attorneys'
fees, (b) entry upon the Property to make repairs, (c) procurement of
satisfactory insurance as provided in Section 5 hereof, and (d) if this
Instrument is on a leasehold, exercise of any option to renew or extend the
ground lease on behalf of Borrower and the curing of any default of
Borrower in the terms and conditions of the ground lease.
Any amounts disbursed by Lender pursuant to this Section 8, with
interest thereon, shall become additional Indebtedness of Borrower secured
by this Instrument. Unless Borrower and Lender agree to other terms of
payment, such amounts shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear
interest from the date of disbursement at the lesser of 18% or the highest
rate permitted by law. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that Lender
shall be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other lien discharged,
in whole or in part, by the Indebtedness. Nothing contained in this
Section 8 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action
hereunder.
Section 9. Inspection. Lender may make or cause to be made
reasonable entries upon the Property to inspect the interior and exterior
thereof.
Section 10. Condemnation. If the Property, or any part thereof,
shall be condemned for any reason, including without limitation fire or
earthquake damage, or otherwise taken for public or quasi-public use under
the power of eminent domain, or be transferred in lieu thereof, all damages
or other amounts awarded for the taking of, or injury to, the Property
shall be paid to Lender who shall have the right, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to apply the amounts so received against (a) the costs and
expenses of Lender, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in
connection with collection of such amounts, and (b) the balance against the
Indebtedness; provided, however, that if (i) no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing hereunder, (ii) Borrower provides evidence
satisfactory to Lender of its ability to pay all amounts becoming due under
the Loan Agreements during the pendency of any restoration or repairs to or
replacement of the Property, (iii) Lender determines, in its reasonable
discretion, that the proceeds of such award are sufficient to restore,
repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its
value, condition and character immediately prior to such taking (or, if the
proceeds of such award are insufficient for such purpose, if Borrower
provides additional sums to Lender's satisfaction so that the aggregate of
such sums and the proceeds of such award will be sufficient for such
purpose), and (iv) Borrower provides evidence satisfactory to Lender that
none of the tenants of the Property will terminate their lease agreements
as a result of either the condemnation or taking or the repairs to or
replacement of the Property, the proceeds of such award, together with
additional sums provided by Borrower, shall be placed in a separate account
for the benefit of Lender and Borrower to be used to restore, repair,
replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value,
condition and character immediately prior to such taking. All work to be
performed in connection therewith shall be pursuant to a written contract
therefor, which contract shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.
To the extent that any funds remain after the Property has been so restored
and repaired, the same shall be applied against the Indebtedness in such
order as Lender may elect. To enforce its rights hereunder, Lender shall
be entitled to participate in and control any condemnation proceedings and
to be represented therein by counsel of its own choice, and Borrower will
deliver, or cause to be delivered to Lender such instruments as may be
requested by it from time to time to permit such participation. In the
event Lender, as a result of any such judgment, decree or award, believes
that the payment or performance of any of the Indebtedness is impaired,
Lender may declare all of the Indebtedness immediately due and payable.
Section 11. Borrower and Lien not Released. From time to time,
Lender may, at Lender's option, without giving notice to or obtaining the
consent of Borrower, Borrower's successors or assigns or of any junior
lienholder or guarantors, without liability on Lender's part and
notwithstanding Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower
in this Instrument, extend the time for payment of the Indebtedness or any
part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable on any of
the Indebtedness, accept an extension or modification or renewal note or
notes therefor, modify the terms and time of payment of the Indebtedness,
release from the lien of this Instrument any part of the Property, take or
release other or additional security, reconvey any part of the Property,
consent to any map or plan of the Property, consent to the granting of any
easement, join in any extension or subordination agreement, and agree in
writing with Borrower to modify the rate of interest or period of
amortization of the Loan Agreements or decrease the amount of the monthly
installments payable thereunder. Any actions taken by Lender pursuant to
the terms of this Section 11 shall not affect the obligation of Borrower or
Borrower's successors or assigns to pay the sums secured by this Instrument
and to observe the covenants of Borrower contained herein, shall not affect
the guaranty of any person, corporation, partnership or other entity for
payment of the Indebtedness, and shall not affect the lien or priority of
the lien hereof on the Property. Borrower shall pay Lender a service
charge, together with such title insurance premiums and attorneys' fees as
may be incurred at Lender's option, for any such action if taken at
Borrower's request.
Section 12. Forbearance by Lender not a Waiver. Any forbearance by
Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded
by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any
other right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of payment of any sum
secured by this Instrument after the due date of such payment shall not be
a waiver of Lender's right to either require prompt payment when due of all
other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt
payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other
liens or charges by Lender shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to
accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness secured by this Instrument, nor
shall Lender's receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages under Sections 5
and 10 hereof operate to cure or waive Borrower's default in payment of
sums secured by this Instrument.
Section 13. Uniform Commercial Code Security Agreement. This
Instrument is intended to be a security agreement pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code for any of the items specified above as part of the
Property which, under applicable law, may be subject to a security interest
pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, and Borrower hereby grants and
conveys to Lender a first and prior security interest in all of the
Property that constitutes personalty, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired. Borrower agrees that Lender may file this Instrument, or a
reproduction thereof, in the real estate records or other appropriate
index, as a financing statement for any of the items specified above as
part of the Property. Any reproduction of this Instrument or of any other
security agreement or financing statement shall be sufficient as a
financing statement. In addition, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver
to Lender, upon Lender's request, any financing statements, as well as
extensions, renewals and amendments thereof, and reproductions of this
Instrument in such form as Lender may require to perfect a security
interest with respect to the foregoing items. Borrower shall pay all costs
of filing such financing statements and any extensions, renewals,
amendments and releases thereof, and shall pay all costs and expenses of
any record searches for financing statements Lender may require. Without
the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not create or suffer to
be created pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code any other security
interest in said items, including replacements and additions thereto. Upon
Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower contained in
this Instrument, including the covenants to pay when due all sums secured
by this Instrument, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code, and Lender may also invoke the remedies
provided in Section 23 of this Instrument as to such items. In exercising
any of said remedies Lender may proceed against the items of real property
and any items of personal property specified above separately or together
and in any order whatsoever, without in any way affecting the availability
of Lender's remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code or of the remedies
provided in Section 23 of this Instrument. Within ten (10) days following
any request therefor by Lender, Borrower shall prepare and deliver to
Lender a written inventory specifically listing all of the personal
property covered by the security interest herein granted, which inventory
shall be certified by Borrower as being true, correct, and complete.
Section 14. Leases of the Property. As used in this Section 14, the
word "Lease" shall include subleases if this Instrument is on a leasehold.
Borrower shall comply with and observe Borrower's obligations as landlord
under all Leases of the Property or any part thereof. All Leases now or
hereafter entered into will be in form and substance subject to the
approval of Lender. All Leases of the Property shall specifically provide
that such Leases are subordinate to this Instrument; that the tenant
attorns to Lender, such attornment to be effective upon Lender's
acquisition of title to the Property; that the tenant agrees to execute
such further evidences of attornment as Lender may from time to time
request; that the attornment of the tenant shall not be terminated by
foreclosure; and that Lender may, at Lender's option, accept or reject such
attornments. For any Lease approved by Lender (other than a lease between
Borrower and Xxxxxxx), Lender will agree to not disturb the tenant upon an
Event of Default hereunder if the tenant is meeting its obligations under
such Lease. Borrower shall not, without Lender's written consent, request
or consent to the subordination of any Lease of all or any part of the
Property to any lien subordinate to this Instrument. If Borrower becomes
aware that any tenant proposes to do, or is doing, any act or thing which
may give rise to any right of set-off against rent, Borrower shall (i) take
such steps as shall be reasonably calculated to prevent the accrual of any
right to a set-off against rent, (ii) immediately notify Lender thereof in
writing and of the amount of said set-offs, and (iii) within ten (10) days
after such accrual, reimburse the tenant who shall have acquired such right
to set-off or take such other steps as shall effectively discharge such
setoff and as shall assure that rents thereafter due shall continue to be
payable without set-off or deduction. Upon Lender's receipt of notice of
the occurrence of any default or violation by Borrower of any of its
obligations under the Leases, Lender shall have the immediate right, but
not the duty or obligation, without prior written notice to Borrower or to
any third party, to enter upon the Property and to take such actions as
Lender may deem necessary to cure the default or violation by Borrower
under the Leases. The costs incurred by Lender in taking any such actions
pursuant to this paragraph shall become part of the Indebtedness, shall
bear interest at the rate provided in the Loan Agreements, and shall be
payable by Borrower to Lender on demand. Lender shall have no liability to
Borrower or to any third party for any actions taken by Lender or not taken
pursuant to this paragraph.
Section 15. Remedies Cumulative. Each remedy provided in this
Instrument is distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under
this Instrument or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised
concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order whatsoever.
Section 16. Transfers of the Property. Lender may, at its option,
declare all sums secured by this Instrument to be immediately due and
payable, and Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by Section 23 of this
Instrument, if title to the Property is changed. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Borrower may transfer title to the Property to Xxxxxxx if
Borrower provides to Lender the following documents in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Lender: (a) a mortgage, security agreement,
assignment of leases and rents and fixture filing executed by Xxxxxxx (in
substantially the same form as this Instrument) or an amendment to this
Instrument executed by Borrower and Xxxxxxx and consented to by Lender; (b)
a datedown endorsement issued by the title insurance company; (c) a lease
between Borrower and Xxxxxxx; (d) a subordination, attornment and lessee-
lessor estoppel agreement; and (e) any other document or item reasonably
required by Lender. Any transfer of any interest in the Property or in the
income therefrom, by sale, lease (except for leases to tenants in the
ordinary course of managing income property which are approved by Lender
pursuant to Section 14 of this Instrument), contract, mortgage, deed of
trust, further encumbrance or otherwise (including any such transfers as
security for additional financing of the Property) shall be considered a
change of title.
Section 17. Notice. Except for any notice required under applicable
law to be given in another manner, any and all notices, elections, demands,
or requests permitted or required to be made under this Instrument or under
the Loan Agreements shall be in writing, signed by the party giving such
notice, election, demand or request, and shall be delivered personally, by
telegram, or sent by registered, certified, or Express United States mail,
postage prepaid, or by Federal Express or similar service requiring a
receipt, to the other party at the address stated above, or to such other
party and at such other address within the United States of America as any
party may designate in writing as provided herein. The date of receipt of
such notice, election, demand or request shall be the earliest of (i) the
date of actual receipt, (ii) three (3) days after the date of mailing by
registered or certified mail, (iii) one (1) day after the date of mailing
by Express Mail or the delivery (for redelivery) to Federal Express or
another similar service requiring a receipt, or (iv) the date of personal
delivery (or refusal upon presentation for delivery).
Section 18. Successors and Assigns Bound; Joint and Several
Liability; Agents; Captions. The covenants and agreements herein contained
shall bind, and the rights hereunder shall inure to, the respective heirs,
successors and assigns of Lender and Borrower, subject to the provisions of
Section 16 hereof. In exercising any rights hereunder or taking any
actions provided for herein, Lender may act through its employees, agents
or independent contractors as authorized by Lender. The captions and
headings of the sections of this Instrument are for convenience only and
are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions hereof.
Section 19. Waiver of Marshalling. Notwithstanding the existence of
any other security interests in the Property held by Lender or by any other
party, Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or
all of the Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein.
Lender shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all
portions of the Indebtedness secured hereby are satisfied from the proceeds
realized upon the exercise of the remedies provided herein. Borrower, any
party who consents to this Instrument and any party who now or hereafter
acquires a security interest in the Property and who has actual or
constructive notice hereof hereby waives any and all right to require the
marshalling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the
remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein.
Section 20. Advances, Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay within
ten (10) days after written demand from Lender all sums advanced by Lender
and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in taking any actions
pursuant to the Loan Documents including attorneys' fees and disbursements,
accountants' fees, appraisal and inspection fees and the costs for title
reports and guaranties, together with interest thereon at the rate
applicable under the Loan Agreements after an Event of Default from the
date such costs were advanced or incurred. All such costs and expenses
incurred by Lender, and advances made, shall constitute advances under this
Instrument to protect the Property and shall be secured by and have the
same priority as the lien of this Instrument. If Borrower fails to pay any
such advances, costs and expenses and interest thereon, Lender may apply
any undisbursed loan proceeds to pay the same, and, without foreclosing the
lien of this Instrument, may at its option commence an independent action
against Borrower for the recovery of the costs, expenses and/or advances,
with interest, together with costs of suit, costs of title reports and
guaranty of title, disbursements of counsel and reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred therein or in any appeal therefrom.
Section 21. Assignment of Leases and Rents. Borrower, for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, to
secure the Indebtedness, does hereby absolutely and unconditionally grant,
bargain, sell, transfer, assign, convey, set over and deliver unto Lender
all right, title and interest of Borrower in, to and under the Leases of
the Property, whether now in existence or hereafter entered into, and all
guaranties, amendments, extensions and renewals of said Leases and any of
them, and all rents, income and profits which may now or hereafter be or
become due or owing under the Leases, and any of them, or on account of the
use of the Property.
Borrower represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with Lender as
follows:
(a) The sole ownership of the entire lessor's interest in the
Leases is vested in Borrower, and Borrower has not, and shall not,
perform any acts or execute any other instruments which might prevent
Lender from fully exercising its rights with respect to the Leases
under any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Instrument.
(b) The Leases are and shall be valid and enforceable in
accordance with their terms and have not been and shall not be
altered, modified, amended, terminated, canceled, renewed or
surrendered except as approved in writing by Lender. The terms and
conditions of the Leases have not been and shall not be waived in any
manner whatsoever except as approved in writing by Lender.
(c) Borrower shall not materially alter the term or the
amount of rent payable under any Lease without prior written notice
to Lender and Lender's consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
(d) To the best of Borrower's knowledge, there are no
defaults now existing under any of the Leases and there exists no
state of facts which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or
both, would constitute a default under any of the Leases.
(e) Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of
any notice received by Borrower claiming that a default has occurred
under any of the Leases on the part of Borrower, together with a
complete copy of any such notice.
(f) Each of the Leases shall remain in full force and effect
irrespective of any merger of the interest of lessor and any lessee
under any of the leases.
(g) Borrower will not permit any Lease to become subordinate
to any lien other than the lien of this Instrument.
(h) Borrower shall not permit or consent to the assignment by
any tenant of its rights under the Lease. Without limitation of the
foregoing, Borrower shall not permit or consent to the filing of any
encumbrance against the tenant's interest under any Lease including,
without limitation, any leasehold mortgage
This assignment is absolute, is effective immediately, and is
irrevocable by Borrower so long as the Indebtedness remains outstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until a Notice is sent to Borrower in
writing that an Event of Default has occurred (a "Notice"), Borrower may
receive, collect and enjoy the rents, income and profits accruing from the
Property.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Lender may, at
its option, after service of a Notice, receive and collect all such rents,
income and profits from the Property as they become due. Lender shall
thereafter continue to receive and collect all such rents, income and
profits, as long as such default or defaults shall exist, and during the
pendency of any foreclosure proceedings.
Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender its true and lawful
attorney with power of substitution and with full power for Lender in its
own name and capacity or in the name and capacity of Borrower, from and
after service of a Notice, to demand, collect, receive and give complete
acquittances for any and all rents, income and profits accruing from the
Property, either in its own name or in the name of Borrower or otherwise,
which Lender may deem necessary or desirable in order to collect and
enforce the payment of the rents, income and profits of and from the
Property. Lessees of the Property are hereby expressly authorized and
directed, following receipt of a Notice from Lender, to pay any and all
amounts due Borrower pursuant to the Leases to Lender or such nominee as
Lender may designate in a writing delivered to and received by such
lessees, and the lessees of the Property are expressly relieved of any and
all duty, liability or obligation to Borrower in respect of all payments so
made.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, from and after service
of a Notice, Lender is hereby vested with full power to use all measures,
legal and equitable, deemed by it to be necessary or proper to enforce this
Section 21 and to collect the rents, income and profits assigned hereunder,
including the right of Lender or its designee, to enter upon the Property,
or any part thereof, and take possession of all or any part of the Property
together with all personal property, fixtures, documents, books, records,
papers and accounts of Borrower relating thereto, and Lender may exclude
Borrower, its agents and servants, wholly therefrom. Borrower hereby
grants full power and authority to Lender to exercise all rights,
privileges and powers herein granted at any and all times after service of
a Notice, and whether before or after the institution of legal proceedings
to foreclose the lien hereof or before or after sale of the Property or
during any period of redemption Lender, without regard to waste, adequacy
of the security or solvency of Borrower, may revoke the privilege granted
Borrower hereunder to collect the rents, income and profits of the
Property.
The entering upon and taking possession of the Property, the
collection of such rents and profits and the application thereof as
aforesaid shall not cure or waive any defaults under this Instrument nor in
any way operate to prevent Lender from pursuing any other remedy which it
may now or hereafter have under the terms of this Instrument nor shall it
in any way be deemed to constitute Lender a mortgagee-in-possession. The
rights and powers of Lender hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
both prior to and after any foreclosure of this Instrument and any sale
pursuant hereto and until expiration of the period of redemption from said
sale, regardless of whether a deficiency remains from said sale.
Lender shall be under no obligation to exercise or prosecute any of
the rights or claims assigned to it hereunder or to perform or carry out
any of the obligations of the lessor under any of the Leases and does not
assume any of the liabilities in connection with or arising or growing out
of the covenants and agreements of Borrower in the Leases. It is further
understood that the assignment set forth in this Section 21 shall not
operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair
of the Property, or parts thereof, upon Lender, nor shall it operate to
make Lender liable for the performance of any of the terms and conditions
of any of the Leases, or for any waste of the Property by any lessee under
any of the Leases, or any other person, or for any dangerous or defective
condition of the Property or for any negligence in the management, upkeep,
repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to
any lessee, licensee, employee or stranger.
Section 22. Default. The following shall each constitute an event
of default ("Event of Default"):
(a) Failure of or refusal by Borrower to pay (i) any portion
of the Loan Payments and the continuation of such failure for a
period of ten (10) days or (ii) any other sums secured by this
Instrument for a period of ten (10) days after demand by Lender; or
(b) Failure of Borrower within the time required by this
Instrument to make any payment for taxes or for reserves for such
payments, or any other payment necessary to prevent filing of or
discharge of any lien, the amounts of which are due and payable under
applicable law, and such failure shall continue for a period of ten
(10) days; or
(c) Failure by Borrower to observe or perform any of its
obligations under any of the Leases and such failure shall continue
for thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof by Lender or any
tenant thereof; provided, however, that, if the failure stated in
such notice cannot be cured within such 30 day period, Lender will
not unreasonably withhold its consent to an extension of such time if
curative action is instituted by Borrower within the applicable
period and diligently pursued until the default is cured; or
(d) Except in compliance with Section 16 hereof, the Property
is transferred or any agreement to transfer any part or interest in
the Property in any manner whatsoever is made or entered into; or
(e) If any lien or encumbrance is filed against the Property
and Borrower has knowledge of such lien or encumbrance at the time
of filing; or
(f) The failure of Borrower to have any other lien or
encumbrance filed against the Property removed within 30 days after
receipt of notice thereof;
(g) If any lease agreement covering any portion of the
Property is executed by Borrower without Lender's prior written
consent; or
(h) Any warranty, representation or statement furnished to
Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or Xxxxxxx under the Loan
Agreements, this Instrument, any of the other Loan Documents or the
Certificate and Indemnity Agreement Regarding Hazardous Substances,
shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect;
or
(i) Failure of Borrower or Xxxxxxx to observe or perform any
other covenant or condition contained in the Loan Agreements and such
default shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice is given to
Borrower specifying the nature of the failure and requesting that it
be remedied; provided, however, that, if the failure stated in such
notice cannot be cured within such 30 day period, Lender will not
unreasonably withhold its consent to an extension of such time if
curative action is instituted by Borrower within the applicable
period and diligently pursued until the default is cured; or
(j) Failure of Borrower or Xxxxxxx to observe or perform any
other obligation under this Instrument, any other Loan Document or
the Certificate and Indemnity Agreement Regarding Hazardous
Substances when such observance or performance is due, and such
failure shall continue beyond the applicable cure period set forth in
such Loan Document, or if the default cannot be cured within such
applicable cure period, Borrower fails within such time to commence
and pursue curative action with reasonable diligence or fails at any
time after expiration of such applicable cure period to continue with
reasonable diligence all necessary curative actions; or
(k) The occurrence of a default or event of default under the
Loan Agreements; or
(l) The occurrence of any default under any of the documents
evidencing or securing any other indebtedness of Borrower, Xxxxxxx or
any of the guarantors of the Indebtedness which is now or hereafter
owed to Lender.
Section 23. Rights and Remedies on Default.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time
thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and
remedies:
(a) Lender may declare the entire Indebtedness, including the
then unpaid principal balance on the Loan Agreements, the accrued but
unpaid interest thereon, court costs and attorney's fees hereunder
immediately due and payable, without notice, presentment, protest,
demand or action of any nature whatsoever (each of which hereby is
expressly waived by Borrower), whereupon the same shall become
immediately due and payable. Additionally, Lender shall not be
required to make any further advances on the Loan Agreements or other
Loan Documents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event
which, with the giving of notice or passing of time, would constitute
an Event of Default.
(b) Lender may enter upon the Property and take exclusive
possession thereof in accordance with applicable law and of all
books, records and accounts relating thereto without notice and
without being guilty of trespass, and hold, lease, manage, operate or
otherwise use or permit the use of the Property, either itself or by
other persons, firms or entities, in such manner, for such time and
upon such other terms as Lender may deem to be prudent and reasonable
under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions
and improvements thereto and taking any and all other action with
reference thereto, from time to time, as Lender shall deem necessary
or desirable), and apply all rents and other amounts collected by
Lender in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (i) of this Section 23. Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Lender as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower, with
full power of substitution, and in the name of Borrower, if Lender
elects to do so, to (i) endorse the name of Borrower on any checks or
drafts representing proceeds of the insurance policies, or other
checks or instruments payable to Borrower with respect to the
Property, (ii) prosecute or defend any action or proceeding incident
to the Property, and (iii) take any action with respect to the
Property that Lender may at any time and from time to time deem
necessary or appropriate. Lender shall have no obligation to
undertake any of the foregoing actions, and if Lender should do so,
it shall have no liability to Borrower for the sufficiency or
adequacy of any such actions taken by Lender.
(c) Institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of
this Instrument in accordance with applicable law, in which case the
Property may be sold for cash or credit in one or more parcels. With
respect to any notices required or permitted under the Uniform
Commercial Code, Borrower agrees that five (5) days' prior written
notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. At any such sale by
virtue of any judicial proceedings or any other legal right, remedy
or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such
property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest
extent permitted by law, Borrower shall be completely and irrevocably
divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim and demand
whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold
and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity
against Borrower, and against all other persons claiming or to claim
the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Borrower.
(d) After sale of the Property, or any portion thereof,
Borrower will be divested of any and all interest and claim thereto,
including any interest or claim to all insurance policies, bonds,
loan commitments and other intangible property covered hereby.
Additionally, Borrower will be considered a tenant at sufferance of
the purchaser of the Property, and said purchaser shall be entitled
to immediate possession thereof, and if Borrower shall fail to vacate
the Property immediately, the purchaser may and shall have the right,
without further notice to Borrower, to go into any justice court in
any precinct or county in which the Property is located and file an
action in forcible entry and detainer, which action shall lie against
Borrower or its assigns or legal representatives, as a tenant at
sufferance. This remedy is cumulative of any and all remedies the
purchaser may have hereunder or otherwise.
(e) Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed,
without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Borrower or waste or
adequacy of security of the Property, the receiver shall have all of
the rights and powers provided by statute, to take possession of any
or all of the Property, to operate the Property preceding foreclosure
or sale, to collect all the rents and revenues from the Property and
apply the proceeds, over and above cost of the receivership including
reasonable attorneys' fees, against the sums due under this
Instrument, and to exercise all of the rights with respect to the
Property described in Section 21 above. The receiver may serve
without bond if permitted by law. Lender's right to the appointment
of a receiver shall exist whether or not apparent value of the
Property exceeds the sums due under this Instrument by a substantial
amount. Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person from
serving as a receiver.
(f) Lender may exercise any and all other rights, remedies
and recourses granted under the Loan Documents or now or hereafter
existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise.
(g) Lender shall have all rights, remedies and recourses
granted in the Loan Documents and available at law or equity
(including specifically those granted by the Uniform Commercial Code
in effect and applicable to the Property or any portion thereof) and
the same (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (ii) may be pursued
separately, successively or concurrently against Borrower, any
guarantor of the Indebtedness or others obligated under the Loan
Agreements, or against the Property, or against any one or more of
them at the sole discretion of Lender; (iii) may be exercised as
often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Borrower
that the exercise or failure to exercise any of the same shall in no
event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other
right, remedy or recourse; and (iv) are intended to be, and shall be,
nonexclusive.
(h) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (i) all benefits
that might accrue to Borrower by any present or future laws exempting
the Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing
for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from
civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment; (ii) all
notices of any Event of Default (except as may be specifically
provided for under the terms hereof), presentment, demand, notice of
intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and any other notice of
Lender's election to exercise or the actual exercise of any right,
remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents; (iii) any
right to appraisal or marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse
order of alienation; (iv) the exemption of homestead; and (v) the
administration of estates of decedents, or other matter to defeat,
reduce or affect the right of Lender under the terms of this
Instrument to sell the Property for the collection of the
Indebtedness secured hereby (without any prior or different resort
for collection) or the right of Lender, under the terms of this
Instrument, to receive the payment of the Indebtedness out of the
proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other person
and claimant whatever (only reasonable expenses of such sale being
first deducted).
(i) The proceeds of any sale of, and the rents, profits and
other income generated by the holding, leasing, operating or other
use of the Property, shall be applied by Lender (or the receiver, if
one is appointed) to the extent that funds are so available therefrom
in the following orders of priority: (i) first, to the payment of
the costs and expenses of taking possession of the Property and of
holding, using, leasing, maintaining, repairing, improving and
selling the same, including, without limitation, (A) receiver's fees;
(B) costs of advertisement; (C) attorneys' and accountants' fees; and
(D) court costs; if any; (ii) second, to the payment of all amounts,
other than the principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest on
the Loan Agreements which may be due to Lender under the Loan
Documents, including all Indebtedness, together with interest thereon
as provided therein, in such order and manner as Lender may
determine; (iii) third, to the payment of the principal amount
outstanding on the Loan Agreements in such order and manner as Lender
may determine and all other Indebtedness; (iv) fourth, to the payment
of all accrued but unpaid interest due on the Loan Agreements in such
order and manner as Lender may determine; and (v) fifth, to Borrower.
Borrower, any guarantor of the Indebtedness and any other party
liable on the Indebtedness shall be liable for any deficiency
remaining in the Indebtedness subsequent to any sale referenced in
this subsection (i).
(j) Lender shall have the right to become the purchaser at
any sale of the Property hereunder and shall have the right to be
credited on the amount of its bid therefor all of the Indebtedness
due and owing as of the date of such sale.
(k) If Lender shall accelerate the Indebtedness following the
occurrence of an Event of Default, any payments received by Lender
following such acceleration, whether as the result of voluntary
payments made by Borrower or as a result of the sale of the Property,
shall be deemed voluntary prepayments of the Loan Agreements and
accordingly, the prepayment fee required under the Loan Agreements
shall also be payable, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreements.
(l) The purchaser at any foreclosure sale hereunder may
disaffirm any subordinate easement granted, or rental, lease or other
contract made in violation of any provisions of this Instrument and
may take immediate possession of the Property free from, and despite
the terms of, any such grant of easement, rental, lease or other
contract.
Section 24. Notice of Sale. Borrower shall be entitled to any
period of notice of any hearing on the right to exercise the power of sale
contained in this Instrument as may be required by any statute then
applicable to such sale. Borrower shall not be entitled to, and hereby
waives, any notice or hearing not so required by then-applicable statute,
and acknowledges and agrees that if any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Property may be sold by Lender in any then-
lawful manner, but expressly reserves the right to contest such right and
exercise except on the grounds waived herein by filing a complaint in the
circuit court of the county in which the Property is located or any other
court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 25. Reconveyance. Upon payment of all sums secured by this
Instrument, Lender shall surrender this Instrument and all notes evidencing
Indebtedness secured by this Instrument and give appropriate recordable
discharges of the same. Lender shall reconvey the Property without
warranty to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. Such person or
persons shall pay Lender's costs incurred in so reconveying the Property.
Section 26. Use of Property. The Property is not currently used for
agricultural, farming, timber or grazing purposes. Borrower warrants that
this Instrument is and will at all times constitute a commercial mortgage,
as defined under appropriate state law.
Section 27. Future Advances. Upon request of Borrower, Lender, at
Lender's option so long as this Instrument secures Indebtedness held by
Lender, may make Future Advances to Borrower. Such Future Advances, with
interest thereon, shall be secured by this Instrument when evidenced by
promissory notes stating that said notes are secured hereby.
Section 28. Imposition of Tax by State.
(a) The following constitute state taxes to which this
Section 28 applies:
(i) A specific tax upon mortgages or upon all or any
part of the indebtedness secured by a mortgage.
(ii) A specific tax on a grantor which the taxpayer is
authorized or required to deduct from payments on the
indebtedness secured by a mortgage.
(iii) A tax on a mortgage deed chargeable against the
beneficiary or the holder of the note secured.
(iv) A specific tax on all or any portion of the
indebtedness or on payments of principal and interest made by a
grantor.
(b) If any state tax to which this Section 28 applies is
enacted subsequent to the date of this Instrument, this shall have
the same effect as an Event of Default, and Lender may exercise any
or all of the remedies available to it unless the following
conditions are met:
(i) Borrower may lawfully pay the tax or charge imposed
by state tax, and
(ii) Borrower pays the tax or charge within thirty (30)
days after notice from Lender that the tax law has been
enacted.
Section 29. Attorneys' Fees. In the event suit or action is
instituted to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Instrument
(including without limitation efforts to modify or vacate any automatic
stay or injunction), the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all
expenses reasonably incurred at, before and after trial and on appeal
whether or not taxable as costs, or in any bankruptcy proceeding including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees, witness fees (expert and otherwise),
deposition costs, copying charges and other expenses. Whether or not any
court action is involved, all reasonable expenses, including but not
limited to the costs of searching records, obtaining title reports,
surveyor reports, title insurance, trustee fees, and other attorney fees,
incurred by Lender that are necessary at any time in Lender's opinion for
the protection of its interest or enforcement of its rights shall become a
part of the Indebtedness payable on demand and shall bear interest from the
date of expenditure until repaid at the interest rate as provided in the
Loan Agreements. The term "attorneys' fees" as used in the Loan Documents
shall be deemed to mean such fees as are reasonable and are actually
incurred.
Section 30. Governing Law; Severability. This Instrument shall be
governed by the law of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts applicable to
contracts made and to be performed therein (excluding choice-of-law
principles). In the event that any provision or clause of this Instrument
or the Loan Agreements conflicts with applicable law, such conflict shall
not affect other provisions of this Instrument or the Loan Agreements which
can be given effect without the conflicting provision, and to this end the
provisions of this Instrument and the Loan Agreements are declared to be
severable.
Section 31. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this
Instrument.
Section 32. Changes in Writing. This Instrument and any of its
terms may only be changed, waived, discharged or terminated by an
instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the
change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. Any agreement
subsequently made by Borrower or Lender relating to this Instrument shall
be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien or
encumbrance.
Section 33. No Offset. Borrower's obligation to make payments and
perform all obligations, covenants and warranties under this Instrument and
under the Loan Agreements shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation any setoff,
counterclaim, abatement, suspension, recoupment, deduction, defense or
other right that Borrower or any guarantor may have or claim against Lender
or any entity participating in making the loan secured hereby. The
foregoing provisions of this section, however, do not constitute a waiver
of any claim or demand which Borrower or any guarantor may have in damages
or otherwise against Lender or any other person, or preclude Borrower from
maintaining a separate action thereon; provided, however, that Borrower
waives any right it may have at law or in equity to consolidate such
separate action with any action or proceeding brought by Lender.
Section 34. Authorization to Insert. Borrower authorizes Lender or
its agent to insert in the spaces provided herein the mortgagee's loan
policy number, the title company issuing such policy and the last payment
due dates, if any of the foregoing information is not typed in on this
document.
Section 35. Statutory Power of Sale. This Instrument is upon the
statutory condition for breach of which Lender shall have the statutory
power of sale.
