secured party, a security interest in the portion of the Property which is or
may be subject to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code which are
applicable to secured transactions; it being understood and agreed that the
Improvements and Fixtures are part and parcel of the Land (the Land, the
Improvements and the Fixtures collectively referred to as the "Real Property")
appropriated to the use thereof and, whether affixed or annexed to the Real
Property or not, shall for the purposes of this Security Instrument be deemed
conclusively to be real estate and conveyed hereby.
SECTION 1.2 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. Borrower hereby absolutely and
unconditionally assigns to Lender all of Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to all current and future Leases and Rents; it being intended by Borrower
that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an
assignment for additional security only. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of
the Assignment of Leases and Section 7.1(h) of this Security Instrument, Lender
grants to Borrower a revocable license to collect, receive, use and enjoy the
Rents. Borrower shall hold the Rents, or a portion thereof sufficient to
discharge all current sums due on the Debt, for use in the payment of such sums.
SECTION 1.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Security Instrument is both a real
property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all
other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of
Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security Instrument,
Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter
defined), a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal
Property to the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal
Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the
Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the
"Collateral"). If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender, in
addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may
exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted
to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession
of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender
may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral.
Upon request or demand of Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral
and make it available to Lender at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible
property) reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on
demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys'
fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral
and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any notice of
sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the
Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least
ten (10) business days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided
by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any
disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise
required by applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in
such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.
Borrower's (Debtor's) principal place of business is as set forth on page one
hereof and the address of Lender (Secured Party) is as set forth on page one
hereof.
SECTION 1.4 FIXTURE FILING. Certain of the Property is or will become
"fixtures" (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land,
described or referred to in this Security Instrument, and this Security
Instrument, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the city
or county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing
statement naming Borrower as the Debtor and Lender as the Secured Party filed as
a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform
Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become fixtures.
SECTION 1.5 PLEDGES OF MONIES HELD. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender any
and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender or on behalf of Lender,
including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Accounts, the Reserve
Funds and Net Proceeds, as additional security for the Obligations until
expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.
CONDITIONS TO GRANT
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto and to
the use and benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, forever;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if
Borrower shall well and truly pay to Lender the Debt at the time and in the
manner provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement and this Security Instrument,
shall well and truly perform the Other Obligations as set forth in this Security
Instrument and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every
covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Note, the Loan Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall
cease, terminate and be void; provided, however, that Borrower's obligation to
indemnify and hold harmless Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof shall
survive any such payment or release.
Article 2 - DEBT AND OBLIGATIONS SECURED
SECTION 2.1 DEBT. This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments and
transfers made in Article 1 are given for the purpose of securing the Debt which
by its definition (as set forth in Loan Agreement) includes, but is not limited

Improvements) without the consent of Lender. Borrower shall promptly repair,
replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be destroyed by any
casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated and shall complete and pay for
any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land.
SECTION 3.5 WASTE. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of the
Property or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way
materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the
operation of the Property, or take any action that might invalidate or allow the
cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may
in any way materially impair the value of the Property or the security of this
Security Instrument. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of
Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or
production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Land,
regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.
SECTION 3.6 PAYMENT FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS. (a) Borrower will promptly pay
when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically fabricated
materials ("Labor and Material Costs") incurred in connection with the Property
and never permit to exist beyond the due date thereof in respect of the Property
or any part thereof any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the
liens and the security interests hereof, and in any event never permit to be
created or exist in respect of the Property or any part thereof any other or
additional lien or security interest other than the liens or security interests
hereof except for the Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may
contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in

Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower
is permitted to do so under the provisions of any other mortgage, deed of trust
or deed to secure debt affecting the Property, (iii) such proceeding shall
suspend the collection of the Labor and Material Costs from Borrower and from
the Property or Borrower shall have paid all of the Labor and Material Costs
under protest, (iv) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in
accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is
subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (v) neither the Property
nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold,

requested by Lender to insure the payment of any contested Labor and Material
Costs, together with all interest and penalties thereon.
SECTION 3.7 PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall observe and
perform each and every term, covenant and provision to be observed or performed
by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document and any
other agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Property
and any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.

change Borrower's name, identity (including its trade name or names) or, if not
an individual, Borrower's corporate, partnership or other structure without
notifying Lender of such change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to
the effective date of such change and, in the case of a change in Borrower's
structure, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower
shall execute and deliver to Lender, prior to or contemporaneously with the
effective date of any such change, any financing statement or financing
statement change required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity,
perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein. At the request
of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender
listing the trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the Property,
and representing and warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade
name with respect to the Property.
Article 4 - OBLIGATIONS AND RELIANCES
SECTION 4.1 RELATIONSHIP OF BORROWER AND LENDER. The relationship between
Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no
fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or condition
of any of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other
Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between
Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.
SECTION 4.2 NO RELIANCE ON LENDER. The general partners, members,
principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower are
experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the
Property, and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and
business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property.
Borrower is not relying on Lender's expertise, business acumen or advice in
connection with the Property.
SECTION 4.3 NO LENDER OBLIGATIONS. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of
Subsections 1.1(h) and (n) or Section 1.2, Lender is not undertaking the
performance of (i) any obligations under the Leases; or (ii) any obligations
with respect to such agreements, contracts, certificates, instruments,
franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and other documents.
(a) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed
or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Security Instrument, the
Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, any officer's certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and
loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy,
Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the
sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or
approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect
thereto by Lender.
SECTION 4.4 RELIANCE. Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in
accepting the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other
Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and
accuracy of the warranties and representations set forth in Section 4.1 of the
Loan Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property and
notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance
existed on the part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and
representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that
Lender would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Security Instrument
in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Section 4.1
of the Loan Agreement.
Article 5 - FURTHER ASSURANCES
SECTION 5.1 RECORDING OF SECURITY INSTRUMENT, ETC. Borrower forthwith upon
the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument and thereafter, from time
to time, will cause this Security Instrument and any of the other Loan Documents
creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the
Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or
recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or
future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the
lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the
Property. Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees,
and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment and/or
recording of the Note, this Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents, any
note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument
with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any
modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal, state,
county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out
of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument,
any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with
respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any
modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by
law so to do.
SECTION 5.2 FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and
without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every
such further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, assignments, notices of
assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time,
reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring,
and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby deeded, granted,
bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and
transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or
may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out
the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Security
Instrument or for filing, registering or recording this Security Instrument, or
for complying with all Legal Requirements. Borrower, on demand, will execute and
deliver, and in the event it shall fail to so execute and deliver, hereby
authorizes Lender to execute in the name of Borrower or without the signature of
Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, one or more financing
statements to evidence more effectively the security interest of Lender in the
Property. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled
with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights
and remedies available to Lender at law and in equity, including without
limitation such rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to this Section
5.2. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to create an
obligation on the part of Borrower to pay any costs and expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with the Securitization or other sale or transfer of the
Loan.
SECTION 5.3 CHANGES IN TAX, DEBT, CREDIT AND DOCUMENTARY STAMP LAWS. (a) If
any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security
Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose
of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt
or Lender's interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest
and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that
the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or
unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have
the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to
declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(a) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or
credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges
assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall
otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any
part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security Instrument
or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Lender
shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty
(120) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(b) If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any
subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be
affixed to the Note, this Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan
Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for
the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.
SECTION 5.4 SPLITTING OF MORTGAGE. This Security Instrument and the Note
shall, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the sole
election of Lender, be split or divided into two or more notes and two or more
security instruments, each of which shall cover all or a portion of the Property
to be more particularly described therein. To that end, Borrower, upon written
request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be
executed, acknowledged and delivered by the then owner of the Property, to
Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and security
instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid
principal amount of this Security Instrument, and containing terms, provisions
and clauses similar to those contained herein and in the Note, and such other
documents and instruments as may be required by Lender.
SECTION 5.5 REPLACEMENT DOCUMENTS. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an
officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note
or any other Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in the case of
any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other Loan
Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Loan
Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or
other Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like
tenor.
Article 6 - DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE
SECTION 6.1 LENDER RELIANCE. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined
and relied on the experience of Borrower and its partners, members, principals
and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and operating
properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue
to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the
value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance
of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest
in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower
default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other
Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.
SECTION 6.2 NO SALE/ENCUMBRANCE. Borrower nor any other Person having an
ownership or beneficial interest, direct or indirect, in Borrower shall transfer
the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein or permit or suffer the
Property or any part thereof or any interest therein to be transferred other
than as expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.
Article 7 - RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
SECTION 7.1 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, Borrower agrees that Lender may take such action, without
notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights
against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, but not limited to, the
following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at
such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in their sole discretion,
without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of
Lender:
(a) declare the entire unpaid Debt to be immediately due and payable;
(b) institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete
foreclosure of this Security Instrument under any applicable provision of law,
in which case the Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon
credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any
order or manner;
(c) with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the
procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial
foreclosure of this Security Instrument for the portion of the Debt then due and
payable, subject to the continuing lien and security interest of this Security
Instrument for the balance of the Debt not then due, unimpaired and without loss
of priority;
(d) sell for cash or upon credit the Property or any part thereof and all
estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Borrower therein and rights
of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more
sales, as an entity or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and
after such notice thereof, all as may be required or permitted by law; and,
without limiting the foregoing: In connection with any sale or sales hereunder,
Lender shall be entitled to elect to treat any of the Property which consists of
a right in action or which is property that can be severed from the Real
Property covered hereby or any improvements without causing structural damage
thereto as if the same were personal property, and dispose of the same in
accordance with applicable law, separate and apart from the sale of Real
Property. Where the Property consists of Real Property, Personal Property,
Equipment or Fixtures, whether or not such Personal Property or Equipment is
located on or within the Real Property, Lender shall be entitled to elect to
exercise its rights and remedies against any or all of the Real Property,
Personal Property, Equipment and Fixtures in such order and manner as is now or
hereafter permitted by applicable law;
(i) Lender shall be entitled to elect to proceed against any or all of
the Real Property, Personal Property, Equipment and Fixtures in any manner
permitted under applicable law; and if Lender so elects pursuant to
applicable law, the power of sale herein granted shall be exercisable with
respect to all or any of the Real Property, Personal Property, Equipment
and Fixtures covered hereby, as designated by Lender, and Lender is hereby
authorized and empowered to conduct any such sale of any Real Property,
Personal Property, Equipment and Fixtures in accordance with the procedures
applicable to Real Property;
(ii) Should Lender elect to sell any portion of the Property which is
Real Property or which is Personal Property, Equipment or Fixtures that the
Lender has elected under applicable law to sell together with Real Property
in accordance with the laws governing a sale of Real Property, Lender shall
give such notice of Event of Default, if any, and election to sell as may
then be required by law. Thereafter, upon the expiration of such time and
the giving of such notice of sale as may then be required by law, and
without the necessity of any demand on Borrower, Lender at the time and
place specified in the notice of sale, shall sell such Real Property or
part thereof at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful
money of the United States. Lender may from time to time postpone any sale
hereunder by public announcement thereof at the time and place noticed
therefor;
(iii) If the Property consists of several lots, parcels or items of
property, Lender shall, subject to applicable law, (A) designate the order
in which such lots, parcels or items shall be offered for sale or sold, or
(B) elect to sell such lots, parcels or items through a single sale, or
through two or more successive sales, or in any other manner Lender
designates. Any Person, including Borrower or Lender, may purchase at any
sale hereunder. Should Lender desire that more than one sale or other
disposition of the Property be conducted, Lender shall, subject to
applicable law, cause such sales or dispositions to be conducted
simultaneously, or successively, on the same day, or at such different days
or times and in such order as Lender may designate, and no such sale shall
terminate or otherwise affect the lien of this Security Instrument on any
part of the Property not sold until all the Debt has been paid in full. In
the event Lender elects to dispose of the Property through more than one
sale, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, Borrower agrees to
pay the costs and expenses of each such sale and of any judicial
proceedings wherein such sale may be made;
(e) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific
performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein, in the
Note, the Loan Agreement or in the other Loan Documents;
(f) recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after any
proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument or the other Loan
Documents;
(g) apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or
conservator of the Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy
of the security for the Debt and without regard for the solvency of Borrower,
any guarantor, indemnitor with respect to the Loan or of any Person, liable for
the payment of the Debt;
(h) the license granted to Borrower under Section 1.2 hereof shall
automatically be revoked and Lender may enter into or upon the Property, either
personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Borrower and
its agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or
otherwise and exclude Borrower and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and
take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and Borrower
agrees to surrender possession of the Property and of such books, records and
accounts to Lender upon demand, and thereupon Lender may (i) use, operate,
manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all
and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat; (ii) complete
any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Lender deems
advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and
improvements to or on the Property; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of
Borrower with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Borrower or

receive all Rents of the Property and every part thereof; (v) require Borrower
to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the
Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such
part of the Property as may be occupied by Borrower; (vi) require Borrower to
vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver
and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or
otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of the
Debt, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem appropriate
in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations
and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other
expenses in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable
compensation for the services of Lender, its counsel, agents and employees;
(i) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party
upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the Fixtures,
the Equipment, the Personal Property or any part thereof, and to take such other
measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation
of the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property, and (ii) request Borrower
at its expense to assemble the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property
and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender. Any
notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to
the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property sent to Borrower in
accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such
action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower;
(j) apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or otherwise by or on
behalf of Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, this
Security Instrument or any other Loan Document to the payment of the following
items in any order in its uncontrolled discretion:

(ii) Insurance Premiums;
(iii) Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note;

(v) All other sums payable pursuant to the Note, the Loan
Agreement, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents,
including without limitation advances made by Lender pursuant to the

(l) apply the undisbursed balance of any Net Proceeds Deficiency deposit,
together with interest thereon, to the payment of the Debt in such order,
priority and proportions as Lender shall deem to be appropriate in its
discretion.
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less
than all of Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and
security interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and
without loss of priority.
Lender reserves the right at any time to subordinate the lien of this
Security Instrument to any one or more of the leases now or in the future
pertaining to any part of the Property upon the unilateral execution and
recording by Lender of said subordination agreement prior to the filing of any
action by Lender to foreclose upon the Property, such subordination agreement to
be effective as of the date of execution of this Security Instrument as to those
leases identified by Lender in such subordination agreement.
SECTION 7.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The purchase money, proceeds and
avails of any disposition of the Property, and or any part thereof, or any other
sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument or the
other Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in
such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, to
the extent consistent with law.
SECTION 7.3 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may remedy such Event of Default in
such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the
security hereof, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or
demand on Borrower, and without releasing Borrower from any obligation
hereunder. Lender is authorized to enter upon action or proceeding to the
Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or
proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security
Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including
reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as
provided in this Section 7.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall
be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred
by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in
appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear
interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such
cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs
and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the
Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured
by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be
immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
SECTION 7.4 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Lender has the right to appear in and
defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to
bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which
Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in
the Property.
SECTION 7.5 RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Lender shall have the
right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether
or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right
of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for
a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was
commenced.
SECTION 7.6 EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. At reasonable times and upon
reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the
right to examine the records, books, management and other papers of Borrower
which reflect upon their financial condition, at the Property or at any office
regularly maintained by Borrower where the books and records are located. Lender
and its agents shall have the right to make copies and extracts from the
foregoing records and other papers. In addition, at reasonable times and upon
reasonable notice, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the
right to examine and audit the books and records of Borrower pertaining to the
income, expenses and operation of the Property during reasonable business hours
at any office of Borrower where the books and records are located. This Section
7.6 shall apply throughout the term of the Note and without regard to whether an
Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.
SECTION 7.7 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender to insist upon
strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower's
obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any
request of Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan to
take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any
of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the
release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property,
or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any
agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise
modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or
the other Loan Documents.
(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on
Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of
the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine
whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured.
Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any
such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or
collateral not in Lender's possession.
(c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security
held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect.
Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to
enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter
to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under this Security
Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given
effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an
election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other
provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies
herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter
afforded at law or in equity.
SECTION 7.8 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. Lender may
release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require
without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting
the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of
any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the
obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary
consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by
assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender
may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This
Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the
remaining portion of the Property.
SECTION 7.9 VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in material
compliance with Legal Requirements, Lender may impose additional requirements
upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary
reserves or financial equivalents.
SECTION 7.10 RECOURSE AND CHOICE OF REMEDIES. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Security Instrument or the Loan Agreement, including, without
limitation, Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement, Lender and other Indemnified
Parties (as hereinafter defined) are entitled to enforce the obligations of
Borrower, any guarantor and indemnitor contained in Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4
herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement without first resorting to or
exhausting any security or collateral and without first having recourse to the
Note or any of the Property, through foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and in the event
Lender commences a foreclosure action against the Property, or exercises the
power of sale pursuant to this Security Instrument, Lender is entitled to pursue
a deficiency judgment with respect to such obligations against Borrower and any
guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan. The provisions of Sections
9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement are exceptions to
any non-recourse or exculpation provisions in the Loan Agreement, the Note, this
Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, and Borrower and any guarantor
or indemnitor with respect to the Loan are fully and personally liable for the
obligations pursuant to Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2 of the
Loan Agreement. The liability of Borrower and any guarantor or indemnitor with
respect to the Loan pursuant to Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2
of the Loan Agreement is not limited to the original principal amount of the
Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent
Lender from foreclosing or exercising a power of sale pursuant to this Security
Instrument or exercising any other rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan
Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents,
whether simultaneously with foreclosure proceedings or in any other sequence. A
separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Borrower
pursuant to Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.2 of the Loan
Agreement, whether or not action is brought against any other Person or whether
or not any other Person is joined in the action or actions. In addition, Lender
shall have the right but not the obligation to join and participate in, as a
party if it so elects, any administrative or judicial proceedings or actions
initiated in connection with any matter addressed in Article 8 or Section 9.4
herein.
SECTION 7.11 RIGHT OF ENTRY. Upon reasonable notice to Borrower, Lender and
its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at all
