COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF MORTGAGOR
To protect the security of this Mortgage, so long as this Mortgage is
in effect, Mortgagor further covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:
SECTION 2.1. Payment of Secured Obligations. Mortgagor shall duly
------------------------------
and punctually pay and perform all of the Secured Obligations in accordance with
the terms thereof and hereof, as if each of the same was set forth at length
herein. The Secured Obligations have been incurred for business purposes only.
SECTION 2.2. Further Assurances. At the request of Mortgagee,
------------------
Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense (a) promptly correct any
defect or error which may be discovered in this Mortgage or any financing
statement or other document relating hereto, (b) promptly execute, acknowledge,
deliver, record and re-record, register and re-register, and file and re-file
this Mortgage and any financing statements or other documents or instruments
which Mortgagee may require from time to time, all in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, in order (i) to effectuate, complete,
perfect, continue or preserve the Lien and priority of this Mortgage as a
perfected mortgage lien and security interest on the Mortgaged Property, or (ii)
to effectuate, complete, perfect, continue or preserve any right, power or
privilege granted to Mortgagee hereunder, and (c) pay all filing, registration
and recording taxes, fees, dues, imposts, assessments and charges in connection
with the execution, delivery, filing, registration or recording of any of the
foregoing.
SECTION 2.3. Care of the Mortgaged Property.
------------------------------
(a) Operation and Maintenance. Mortgagor (i) shall not cause or
-------------------------
permit the Mortgaged Property to be injured, wasted, disfigured or damaged or to
deteriorate (except for reasonable wear and tear and obsolescence) and (ii)
shall maintain and preserve all of the Mortgaged Property in good repair,
working order and condition (taking into consideration ordinary wear and tear)
and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all repairs, renewals and
replacements, betterments and improvements thereto reasonably necessary,
consistent with applicable industry practices, so that the business carried on
in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all
times, in each case except to the extent that the failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
-11-
(b) Repair and Replacement. Mortgagor shall not remove, demolish or
----------------------
materially alter any of the Mortgaged Property. Whether or not it shall have
received or otherwise be entitled to receive any Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall promptly
repair, replace and rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property which may be
damaged or destroyed by any Casualty (including any casualty for which insurance
was not obtained or obtainable) or which may be affected by any Condemnation,
and shall complete and pay for, within a reasonable time, any structure at any
time in the process of construction or repair on the Property, all in a
commercially reasonable manner reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, unless the
failure to repair, replace or rebuild the same could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Use. Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of
---
Mortgagee, which will not be unreasonably withheld, initiate, join in or consent
to any restrictive covenant, zoning ordinance, or other public or private
restrictions, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property or
any part thereof.
SECTION 2.4. Compliance With Laws and Payment of Impositions.
-----------------------------------------------
Contests. Except to the extent provided otherwise in the Credit Agreement,
--------
Mortgagor shall (i) at all times comply with, and shall cause the Mortgaged
Property at all times to comply with, all applicable Legal Requirements and
Insurance Requirements; and (ii) promptly pay all Impositions and all charges
for utilities and other services to the Mortgaged Property on or before the date
on which the same shall become due and payable.
SECTION 2.5. Insurance and Casualty.
----------------------
(a) Required Insurance. During the term of this Mortgage, Mortgagor
------------------
shall maintain, or cause to be maintained (including by one or more blanket
and/or umbrella policies which meet the requirements of this Section), the
property and liability insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Property
described in Schedule 3(b) of the Disclosure Letter.
(b) Form. All insurance required by this Mortgage shall be taken out
----
and maintained with an insurer, shall have such deductibles, and shall otherwise
be in form and substance, as required by the Credit Agreement. In addition, each
such policy shall name Mortgagee as an additional insured and loss payee and
shall contain standard clauses waiving all rights of subrogation against
Mortgagee and requiring that all Insurance Proceeds resulting from any claim be
paid to Mortgagee, notwithstanding (i) any act or negligence of either Mortgagor
or its agents or employees which might, absent such agreement, result in a
forfeiture of all or part of such insurance payment, (ii) the occupation or use
of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof for purposes more hazardous than
permitted by the terms of such policy, (iii) any foreclosure or other action or
proceeding taken pursuant to the Mortgage or (iv) any change in title to or
ownership of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. Each policy shall
contain an undertaking by the insurer that such policy shall not be modified
without at least thirty (30) days' prior notice to, and the prior written
consent of, Mortgagee.
-12-
(c) Notice of Loss. If a Casualty occurs, Mortgagor shall immediately
--------------
take such action or cause such action to be taken as may be reasonably necessary
or appropriate to protect the remaining Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor will also
give Mortgagee prompt notice of any material damage to or destruction of any of
the Mortgaged Property and in case of loss covered by policies of insurance,
Mortgagee is hereby authorized to make proof of loss if not made promptly by
Mortgagor. Any reasonable expenses incurred by Mortgagee in the collection of
the proceeds of such policies of insurance, together with interest thereon from
date of any such expense at the Overdue Rate (or such lesser rate of interest as
may be the maximum not prohibited by applicable law), shall be added to and
become part of the Secured Obligations and shall be reimbursed to Mortgagee
immediately upon demand.
(d) No Separate Insurance. Mortgagor shall not take out separate
---------------------
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required to be maintained hereunder unless Mortgagee is named as an additional
insured thereon under a standard mortgagee clause reasonably acceptable to
Mortgagee and each such policy is otherwise in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee at least 30 days prior
to the date that any such separate insurance is to be taken out and, if such
insurance is permitted by Mortgagee, shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy
of the policy or policies of such insurance.
(e) Assignment of Policies On Foreclosure. In the event of the
-------------------------------------
foreclosure of this Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, by foreclosure sale, or by power of sale, or deed
in lieu of foreclosure, the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property, or such part
thereof, shall succeed to all of each Mortgagor's rights with respect to the
Mortgaged Property, including any rights to unexpired, unearned or returnable
insurance premiums, subject to limitations on the assignment of blanket
policies, but limited to such rights as relate to the Mortgaged Property or such
part thereof. If Mortgagee acquires title to the Mortgaged Property, or any part
thereof, in any manner, it shall thereupon (as between each Mortgagor and
Mortgagee) become the sole and absolute owner of the insurance policies, and all
proceeds payable thereunder with respect to the Mortgaged Property with the sole
right to collect and retain all unearned or returnable premiums thereon with
respect to the Mortgaged Property, or such part thereof, if any.
SECTION 2.6. Condemnation.
------------
(a) Notice of Loss. In the event of any Condemnation or the
--------------
commencement of any proceedings or negotiations that might result in a
Condemnation, Mortgagor shall give notice thereof to Mortgagee, generally
describing the nature and extent of such Condemnation or the nature of such
proceedings or negotiations and the nature and extent of the proposed
Condemnation, as the case may be.
(b) Protection of Mortgaged Property. If a Condemnation occurs,
--------------------------------
Mortgagor shall immediately take such action or cause such action to be taken as
may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect the remaining Mortgaged
Property.
-13-
SECTION 2.7. Application of Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation
--------------------------------------------------
Proceeds.
--------
(a) Proceeds Payable to Mortgagee. Notwithstanding any Casualty or
-----------------------------
Condemnation, Mortgagor shall continue to pay the Secured Obligations at the
time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents and this Mortgage, and
the Secured Obligations shall not be reduced until any Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds shall have been actually received and applied by Mortgagee
to the discharge of the Secured Obligations. Except as expressly provided in the
Credit Agreement, Mortgagee may apply the entire amount of any Insurance
Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the discharge of the Secured Obligations
whether or not then due and payable in such priority and proportions as
Mortgagee in its discretion shall deem proper. If the Mortgaged Property is
sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Mortgagee of
such Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, Mortgagee shall have the
right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on any Loan Document shall have been
sought, recovered or denied, to receive such Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation
Proceeds, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Secured Obligations,
whichever is less.
(b) Prosecution of Claim for Loss. If a Casualty or a Condemnation
-----------------------------
shall occur, Mortgagor shall file and prosecute its claim or claims for any such
Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in good faith and with due diligence
and cause the same to be collected and paid over to Mortgagee, and hereby
irrevocably authorizes and empowers Mortgagee, in the name of Mortgagor or
otherwise to collect and receipt for any such Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation
Proceeds and to adjust any insurance claims and to file and prosecute such claim
or claims, and although it is hereby expressly agreed that the same shall not be
necessary in any event, Mortgagor shall, upon demand of Mortgagee, make, execute
and deliver any and all assignments and other instruments sufficient for the
purpose of assigning any such Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to
Mortgagee, free and clear of any Liens whatsoever. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably
appoints Mortgagee as Mortgagor's attorney-in-fact for each such purpose (which
appointment is coupled with an interest) and authorizes any Person to act upon
the foregoing appointment.
SECTION 2.8. Transfer Restrictions. Except as expressly permitted by
---------------------
the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not further mortgage, hypothecate, pledge
or suffer to exist any Lien on, or sell, transfer, convey or lease, all or any
part of the Mortgaged Property (or any interest therein).
SECTION 2.9. Mortgagee's Right to Perform. If Mortgagor shall
----------------------------
fail to pay or perform any of the Secured Obligations, then Mortgagee, upon ten
(10) days' prior notice to Mortgagor may, but shall not be obligated to, make
(or cause to be made) any such payment or perform (or cause to be performed) any
such Secured Obligation of Mortgagor, in any form and manner deemed reasonably
appropriate by Mortgagee as agent or attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor, and any
amount so paid or extended, plus reimbursement to Mortgagee for its
-14-
reasonable out-of-pocket and other expenses, including legal expenses, for each
matter for which it acts under this Mortgage, shall be added to the Secured
Obligations and shall be repaid to Mortgagee upon demand. By way of illustration
and not in limitation of the foregoing, Mortgagee may, but need not, make
payments of principal, interest or other charges on any obligations secured by
any Permitted Encumbrance or other Lien or charge; purchase, discharge,
compromise or settle any tax Lien or any other Lien, encumbrance, suit,
proceeding, title or claim thereof; pay any premium owing on any insurance
policy covering the Mortgaged Property; or redeem from any tax sale or
forfeiture affecting the Property or contest any tax or assessment. In making
any payment or securing any performance relating to any such obligation of
Mortgagor hereunder or thereunder, Mortgagee, so long as it acts in good faith,
shall be the sole judge of the legality, validity and amount of any Lien or
encumbrance and of all other matters necessary to be determined in satisfaction
thereof. No such action of Mortgagee shall be considered as a waiver of any
right accruing to it on account of the occurrence of any default on the part of
Mortgagor under this Mortgage, any Event of Default or any default or event of
default under any other Loan Document.
SECTION 2.10. Subrogation. To the extent that Mortgagee, after the
-----------
date hereof, pays pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement
or any other Loan Document any sum due under any provision of law or any
instrument or document creating any Lien prior or superior to the Lien of this
Mortgage, Mortgagee shall have and be entitled to a Lien on the Mortgaged
Property equal in priority to that discharged, and Mortgagee shall be subrogated
to, and receive and enjoy all rights and Liens possessed, held or enjoyed by the
holder of such Lien, which shall remain in existence for the benefit of
Mortgagee to secure the amount expended by Mortgagee on account of or in
connection with such Lien. Mortgagee shall be subrogated, notwithstanding their
release of record, to mortgages, trust deeds, superior titles, vendor's Liens,
Liens, charges, encumbrances, rights and equities on the Property to the extent
that any obligation under any thereof is paid or discharged by Mortgagee.
SECTION 2.11. Inspection of Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall
--------------------------------
permit Mortgagee and Mortgagee's agents, as frequently as Mortgagee reasonably
determines to be appropriate, during normal business hours (or at such other
times as may be reasonably be requested by Mortgagee), to enter upon the
Property for the purpose of inspecting and/or appraising the Mortgaged Property
and all books, records and documents of Mortgagor relating thereto, and for the
purpose of performing any of the acts that Mortgagee is authorized to perform
under the terms of any of the Loan Documents; provided, that Mortgagee shall
--------
have no duty to make such inspections and shall not incur any liability or
obligation for making or not making inspections. In exercising the foregoing
rights, Mortgagee shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption of
Mortgagor's operations and shall be subject to Mortgagor's reasonable security
and operating measures.
SECTION 2.12. Certain Tax Law Changes. In the event of the passage
-----------------------
after the date of this Mortgage of any law deducting from the value of real
property, for the purpose of taxation, amounts in respect of any lien thereon or
changing in any way the laws for the
-15-
taxation of mortgages or debts secured by mortgages for state or local purposes
or the manner of the collection of any such taxes, and in any such event
imposing a tax, either directly or indirectly, on this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall
pay such tax on or before the later of the date the same is due and the tenth
day after Mortgagor obtains actual knowledge of the same.
SECTION 2.13. Future Advances.
---------------
(a) Future Advances. All future advances under this Mortgage or under
---------------
any other agreements at any time made between Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall have
the same priority as if the future advance was made on the date that this
Mortgage was recorded. Notice is hereby given that the Secured Obligations may
increase as a result of any defaults hereunder by Mortgagor due to, for example,
and without limitation, unpaid interest or late charges, unpaid Impositions or
insurance premiums or other charges which Mortgagee elects to advance, defaults
under Leases that Mortgagee elects to cure, attorneys' fees or costs incurred in
enforcing the Loan Documents or other expenses. Except as otherwise provided in
the Credit Agreement, interest shall be payable on any future advances at the
Overdue Rate.
(b) Maximum Secured Amount. It is expressly understood and agreed
----------------------
that the total amount of the Secured Obligations secured hereby will in no event
exceed Two Hundred percent (200%) of (i) the total face amounts of the Note;
plus (ii) the total interest which may hereafter accrue under the Note on such
face amount; plus (iii) any fees, costs or expenses which may be payable
hereunder or under the Guarantee.
SECTION 2.14. Covenants in Loan Documents. Mortgagor shall also
---------------------------
comply with all other covenants and obligations (a) which either Wahlco or
Thermatrix is obligated under the Credit Agreement to cause Mortgagor to comply
with, and (b) set forth in the Security Agreement, as if each of the same was
set forth at length herein as the direct obligation of Mortgagor hereunder.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Mortgagor represents and warrants to and agrees with the Secured
Parties as follows:
SECTION 3.1. Title. Mortgagor owns and will at all times own good
-----
and marketable fee simple title to the Property, and good and valid title to the
balance of the Mortgaged Property, in each case free and clear of all Liens,
other than the Lien and security interests created by this Mortgage and any
Permitted Encumbrances.
SECTION 3.2. Valid Lien and Security Interest. This Mortgage
--------------------------------
creates (a) a valid and enforceable lien on the Property under the laws of the
State in favor of Mortgagee for the benefit of the Secured Parties as security
for the Secured Obligations, and (b) a valid and
-16-
enforceable security interest in the Personal Property under the laws of the
State in favor of Mortgagee for the benefit of the Secured Parties as security
for the Secured Obligations. All necessary actions have been taken to establish
a duly perfected first priority lien and security interest in favor of Mortgagee
in respect of Mortgagor's interest in the Mortgaged Property (other than only
the recording of this Mortgage in the appropriate land records therefor),
including, if required under State law, the filing of record of financing
statements in the appropriate form, properly describing the Personal Property,
duly executed by Mortgagor, in the offices listed on Exhibit D hereto and the
---------
payment of all taxes and filing fees in connection therewith. The description of
the Personal Property set forth in such financing statements is sufficient to
perfect a security interest in those items of Personal Property in which a
security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under
the Uniform Commercial Code. No further or subsequent filing, refiling,
recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary, except as
provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation
statements. No mortgage, deed of trust or similar instrument and no financing
statement or other similar document has been signed, recorded or filed covering
Mortgagor's right, title or interest in or to any Mortgaged Property, other than
(a) those naming Mortgagee as mortgagee or secured party thereunder and (b)
those creating Permitted Encumbrances.
ARTICLE IV
SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FILING
SECTION 4.1. Security Agreement.
------------------
(a) Grant of Security Interest. To the extent that the Mortgaged
--------------------------
Property includes Personal Property under applicable State law, this Mortgage
shall also be construed as a security agreement and the grant to the Mortgagee,
for the benefit of the Lenders, of a security interest in such Personal Property
under the Uniform Commercial Code.
(b) Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur, Mortgagee may
--------
exercise from time to time and at any time any rights and remedies available to
it under applicable law upon default in the payment of indebtedness, including,
without limitation, any right or remedy available to it as a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code. Mortgagor shall, promptly upon request by
Mortgagee, assemble the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof generally
described in such request, and make the same available to Mortgagee at such
place or places designated by Mortgagee and reasonably convenient to Mortgagee
and Mortgagor. If Mortgagee elects to proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code
to dispose of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee, at its
option, may give Mortgagor notice of the time and place of any public sale of
any such property, or of the date after which any sale or other disposition
thereof is to be made, by sending notice by registered or certified first class
mail, postage prepaid, to Mortgagor at least ten (10) days prior to the time of
the sale or other disposition. If any notice of any proposed sale, assignment or
transfer by Mortgagee of any portion of the Collateral or any interest therein
is required by law, Mortgagor conclusively agrees that, unless any longer period
shall then be required by the
-17-
Uniform Commercial Code, ten (10) days' notice to Mortgagor of the date, time
and place (and, in the case of a sale, the terms) thereof is reasonable.
Mortgagee may, at its option, appoint any other Person as the agent of Mortgagee
for the purpose of disposition of the Personal Property in accordance with the
Uniform Commercial Code. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that a disposition of
the Personal Property in accordance with Mortgagee's rights and remedies in
respect of the Personal Property as provided in this Section is a commercially
reasonable disposition thereof.
SECTION 4.2. Fixture Filing. To the extent that the Mortgaged
--------------
Property includes items of Personal Property that are or are to become fixtures
under applicable law, and to the extent permitted under applicable law, the
filing of this Mortgage in the land records of the county in which such
Mortgaged Property is located shall also operate from the time of filing as a
fixture filing with respect to such Mortgaged Property, the information required
for the purpose of such fixture filing being as set forth in this Mortgage.
SECTION 4.3. Security Deposit Collateral. So long as no Event of
---------------------------
Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, Mortgagor shall have the
exclusive right, as between Mortgagor and Mortgagee (and the Lenders), to apply,
draw, make demand, xxx for, or amend any Security Deposit Collateral or waive or
release any party from its obligations under or in respect of any Security
Deposit Collateral. If an Event of Default shall occur and shall be continuing,
Mortgagee shall (at its option) have the exclusive right, as between Mortgagor
and Mortgagee, upon notice to Mortgagor, to apply, draw, make demand, xxx for,
or amend any Security Deposit Collateral.
SECTION 4.4. Additional Covenants. All other covenants and
--------------------
obligations of Mortgagor contained herein relating to the Mortgaged Property
(including those incorporated by reference under Section 2.14 hereof) shall be
deemed to apply to the Personal Property whether or not expressly referred to in
this Article IV, as if the same were the direct obligation of Mortgagor set
forth at length herein.
-18-
ARTICLE V
ASSIGNMENTS OF RENTS AND LEASES
SECTION 5.1. Assignment of Rents and Leases.
------------------------------
(a) Assignment of Rents. Mortgagor hereby presently, absolutely and
-------------------
irrevocably assigns to Mortgagee, for the benefit of the Lenders, subject to the
license of Mortgagor under subsection (b) of this Section, all Leases and the
Rents, and Mortgagee and, if a Receiver has been appointed under this Mortgage,
such Receiver, shall have the absolute, immediate and continuing right, subject
to mandatory provisions of applicable law, to collect and receive all Rents now
or hereafter, including during any period of redemption, accruing with respect
to the Property. The Lien on the Leases and the Rents made under Granting Clause
H hereof shall be in addition to and subject to the foregoing assignment. At the
request of Mortgagee or such Receiver, Mortgagor shall promptly execute,
acknowledge, deliver, record, register and file any additional general
assignment of the Leases or specific assignment of any Lease which Mortgagee or
such Receiver may require from time to time (all in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and such Receiver) to effectuate, complete,
perfect, continue or preserve this assignment of the Leases and the Rents and
the Lien upon the Leases and the Rents made under Granting Clause H.
(b) License to Collect Rents. As long as no Event of Default has
------------------------
occurred, Mortgagor shall have the right under a license granted hereby, subject
to subsection (c) of this Section, to collect the Rents upon the due date
thereof, but not prior to such due date.
(c) Termination of License Upon Event of Default. If an Event of
--------------------------------------------
Default shall occur, the license granted under subsection (b) of this Section
shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any
action by any Person, and Mortgagee and any Receiver appointed under this
Mortgage shall have the right to exercise the rights and remedies provided under
this Mortgage or otherwise under applicable law. If an Event of Default shall
occur, upon demand by the Person exercising the rights under this Section,
Mortgagor shall promptly pay to such Person all security deposits under the
Leases and all Rents allocable to any period after the occurrence of such Event
of Default. Subject to any applicable Legal Requirement, any Rents received
hereunder by the Person exercising the rights under this Section shall be
promptly paid to Mortgagee, and any Rents received hereunder by Mortgagee shall
be applied and disbursed as provided in Section 6.9; provided that, subject to
any applicable requirement of law, any security deposits actually received by
Mortgagee shall be held, applied and disbursed as provided in the applicable
Leases.
-19-
(d) Direction to Tenants. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
--------------------
Mortgagor shall, at the direction of Mortgagee, further authorize and direct, in
writing, the tenant under each Lease to pay directly to, or as directed by,
Mortgagee all Rents accruing or due under its Lease without proof to the tenant
of the occurrence and continuance of such Event of Default. Mortgagor hereby
authorizes the tenant under each Lease to rely upon and comply with any notice
or demand from Mortgagee for payment of Rents to Mortgagee and Mortgagor shall
have no claim against any tenant for Rents paid by such tenant to Mortgagee
pursuant to such notice or demand.
(e) No Release of Tenants. Neither this Mortgage nor any action or
---------------------
inaction on the part of Mortgagee shall release any tenant under any lease, any
guarantor of any Lease or Mortgagor from any of their respective obligations
under the Leases or constitute an assumption of any such obligation on the part
of Mortgagee. No action or failure to act on the part of Mortgagor shall
adversely affect or limit the rights of Mortgagee under this Mortgage or,
through this Mortgage, under the Leases.
(f) No Liability of Mortgagee. Neither the acceptance hereof nor the
-------------------------
exercise of the rights and remedies hereunder nor any other action on the part
of Mortgagee or any Person exercising the rights of Mortgagee hereunder shall be
construed to (i) be an assumption by Mortgagee or any such Person or to
otherwise make Mortgagee or such Person liable or responsible for the
performance of any of the obligations of Mortgagor under or with respect to the
Leases or for any Rent, security deposit or other amount delivered to Mortgagor;
provided that Mortgagee or any such Person exercising the rights of Mortgagee
shall be accountable as provided in subsection (c) of this Section for any
Rents, security deposits or other amounts actually received by Mortgagee or such
Person, as the case may be; or (ii) obligate Mortgagee or any such Person to
take any action under or with respect to the Leases or with respect to the
Mortgaged Property, to incur any expense or perform or discharge any duty or
obligation under or with respect to the Leases or with respect to the Mortgaged
Property, to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Leases
or the Mortgaged Property, to constitute Mortgagee as a mortgagee in possession
(unless Mortgagee actually enters and takes possession of the Mortgaged
Property), or to be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or
property sustained by any Person in or about the Mortgaged Property, other than
to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Mortgagee
or any Person exercising the rights of Mortgagee hereunder.
(g) No Existing Leases. Mortgagor represents and warrants that as of
------------------
the date hereof, no Leases exist with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
ARTICLE VI
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
SECTION 6.1. Events of Defaults. The following shall be an Event of
------------------
Default hereunder (an "Event of Default"): any Event of Default by or with
respect to
-20-
respect to Mortgagor, either Borrower or any other Loan Party under and as
defined in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
SECTION 6.2. Remedies.
(a) General. If an Event of Default shall occur and shall be
-------
continuing, Mortgagee, with or without entry onto the Property, shall have the
following rights:
(i) to immediately foreclose this Mortgage and the lien
hereof;
(ii) to sell Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and
to the Mortgaged Property, as a whole or in separate parcels, at one or
more public sales, at such time and place and upon such terms and
conditions as may be required or permitted by applicable law. Such power
shall not be exhausted until the Secured Obligations have been paid in
full. Mortgagee may execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at
any sale a sufficient conveyance of the Mortgaged Property sold thereby
divesting Mortgagor of all right, title or interest that it may have in and
to such Mortgaged Property and vesting the same in the purchaser or
purchasers at such sale or sales, free of the security interest and lien of
this Mortgage and free of all rights of redemption in Mortgagor;
(iii) to take such steps to protect and enforce its rights
and the lien of this Mortgage whether by action, suit or proceeding in
equity or at law for the specific performance of any provision in the Loan
Documents, or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this
Mortgage, or for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any
other appropriate legal or equitable remedy Mortgagee shall elect;
(iv) to apply for the appointment of a Receiver for the
Mortgaged Property in accordance with Section 6.4; and
(v) to take all such other steps and to assert and
exercise all such other rights and remedies as shall be permitted by
applicable law.
(b) Foreclosure. This Mortgage may be foreclosed once against
-----------
all or successively against any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property as
Mortgagee may elect. This Mortgage and the right of foreclosure hereunder shall
not be impaired or exhausted by one or any foreclosure or by one or any sale,
and may be foreclosed successively and in parts, until all of the Mortgaged
Property has been foreclosed against and sold. The purchase money proceeds or
avails of any foreclosure or sale after default and any other sums which then
may be held by Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall be applied as provided in
Section 6.9 hereof.
-21-
(c) Mortgagee May Bid. In connection with any such foreclosure or
-----------------
sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire Mortgagor's interest in the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make
settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Secured Obligations the
net sale price after deducting therefrom the amounts referred to in clause
"first" of Section 6.9. Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it
to be made under or by virtue of this Mortgage by announcement at the time and
place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales, and,
Mortgagee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time
and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.
(d) Acceleration of Secured Obligations. In the event of any sale
-----------------------------------
made under or by virtue of this Article, the entire principal of, interest and
other amounts in respect of the Secured Obligations, if not previously due and
payable, shall, at the option of Mortgagee, immediately become due and payable,
anything in this Mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 6.3. Possession of Property.
----------------------
(a) Mortgagor to Vacate Property. Mortgagor hereby waives, if an
----------------------------
Event of Default shall occur and shall be continuing, all right to the
possession and Rents of the Property, and Mortgagor hereby expressly authorizes
and empowers Mortgagee, upon such occurrence and continuation, for the purpose
of protecting and preserving the Property and the interest of Mortgagee therein,
and to the extent permitted by law, (i) to enter upon and take possession of the
Property, to remove and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and servants wholly
therefrom, by summary proceeding, ejectment or other legal proceeding, and to
take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto, and
Mortgagor agrees to surrender possession of the Property and of such books,
records and accounts to Mortgagee on demand and (ii) with or without the entry
upon or taking possession of the Property, to hold, operate, manage, repair and
maintain the Mortgaged Property and to collect and receive all Rents derived
from the Property, and after deducting therefrom all reasonable costs, expenses
and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by
Mortgagee in collecting the same and in using, managing, preserving and
controlling the Property for the purpose of protecting and preserving the
Mortgaged Property and the interest of Mortgagee therein, and otherwise in
exercising Mortgagee's rights hereunder, including all amounts necessary to pay
Impositions and reasonable other charges in connection with the Property, as
well as reasonable compensation for Mortgagee's agents and employees, and to
apply the remainder as set forth in Section 6.9. Without limiting any other
right or remedy of Mortgagee pursuant to any other provision of this Mortgage or
the Credit Agreement, upon or at any time after the filing of a suit to
foreclose this Mortgage, the court in which such suit is filed shall have full
power to enter an order placing Mortgagee in possession of the Property with the
same power granted to a Receiver pursuant to the applicable Sections of this
Mortgage and with all other rights and privileges of a mortgagee-in-possession
under applicable State law. All such costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by
Mortgagee shall be Secured Obligations.
-22-
(b) Payment for Use and Occupancy. Following an Event of Default and
-----------------------------
the exercise by Mortgagee of its remedies hereunder, if at any time Mortgagee
shall have (and shall exercise) the right, following such summary proceeding,
ejectment or other proceeding pursuant to Section 6.3(a), to exclude Mortgagor
from all or any part of the Property and Mortgagor shall fail to vacate all or
such portion of the Property, then, Mortgagor shall pay the fair and reasonable
rental value for the use and occupancy of the Property or any portion thereof
that is being occupied by Mortgagor for such period and, upon default of any
such payment Mortgagor may be evicted by any summary action or proceeding for
the recovery of possession of such portion of the Property for nonpayment of
rent, however designated.
SECTION 6.4. Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall
-----------------------
occur and shall be continuing, Mortgagee shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, and without regard to the adequacy or value of any security for the
Secured Obligations or the solvency of Mortgagor, or the occupancy of the
Property or any part thereof as a homestead, and without the requirement of any
bond, be entitled to the appointment of a Receiver for all or any part of the
Mortgaged Property and all Rents therefrom (the inclusion in this Mortgage of
the provisions for the appointment of a Receiver and the assignment of Rents
being an express condition upon which Mortgagee agreed to execute the Credit
Agreement and to accept this Mortgage), whether or not such receivership is
incidental to a proposed sale of the Mortgaged Property or otherwise, and, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby consents to the
appointment of such a Receiver and will not oppose any such appointment.
SECTION 6.5. Waiver of Stay, Extension, Moratorium and Marshalling
-----------------------------------------------------
Laws and Equity of Redemption. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Mortgagor
-----------------------------
shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or
take any benefit or advantage of any applicable present or future stay,
extension or moratorium law, which may affect observance or performance of the
provisions of this Mortgage; nor claim, take or insist upon any benefit or
advantage of any present or future law providing for the valuation or appraisal
of, or rights of marshalling with respect to, the Mortgaged Property or any
portion thereof prior to or in connection with any sale or sales thereof which
may be made under or by virtue of this Mortgage; and Mortgagor, to the extent
that it lawfully may, hereby waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or
laws. Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim under it, hereby waives, to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights and equities
of redemption from sale under the power of sale created hereunder or from sale
under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage and (if an Event of
Default shall occur) all notice or notices of seizure, and all right to have the
Mortgaged Property marshalled upon any foreclosure hereof. Mortgagee shall not
be obligated to pursue or exhaust its rights or remedies as against any other
part of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagor hereby waives any right or claim of
right to have Mortgagee proceed against any portion of the Mortgage Property in
any particular order.
SECTION 6.6. Mortgagee Authorized to Execute Documents. Mortgagor
-----------------------------------------
irrevocably appoints Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney of Mortgagor (which
appointment
-23-
is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable), in its name and stead and
on its behalf, for the purpose of effectuating any sale, assignment, transfer or
delivery for the enforcement hereof, whether pursuant to power of sale,
foreclosure or otherwise, to execute and deliver all deeds, bills of sale,
assignments, releases and other instruments as Mortgagee may consider necessary
or appropriate, with full power of substitution, Mortgagor hereby ratifying and
confirming all that its said attorney or any substitute shall lawfully do by
virtue hereof. Nevertheless, if so requested by Mortgagee or any purchaser,
Mortgagor will immediately ratify and confirm, without any cost or charge
therefor, any such sale, assignment, transfer or delivery by executing and
delivering to the grantee or such purchaser all such proper deeds, bills of
sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any
such request.
SECTION 6.7. Collateral Situated in More than One County. If the
-------------------------------------------
Mortgaged Property is situated in two or more counties in the State, or in two
judicial districts of the same county, Mortgagee shall have the full power to
select in which county or counties, or in which judicial district or districts,
the sale of the Mortgaged Property is to be made, and Mortgagee's selection
shall be binding upon Mortgagor and shall permit the sale of the whole to be
made in any of the counties or judicial districts in which part of the Mortgaged
Property is located. Mortgagor hereby waives any right it might otherwise have
or assert to object to foreclosure, through the use of a single Mortgage, upon
all of the Mortgaged Property in the State.
SECTION 6.8. Collateral in Other States. Mortgagor acknowledges and
--------------------------
agrees that the Other Mortgaged Properties may be located in states other than
the State, and Mortgagor therefore waives and relinquishes any and all rights it
may have, whether at law or equity, to require Mortgagee to proceed to enforce
or exercise any rights, powers and remedies that Mortgagee or any trustee may
have under this Mortgage and the Other Mortgages in any particular manner, in
any particular order, or in any particular state or other jurisdiction. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Mortgagee shall not be precluded
from or restricted in exercising any of its rights and remedies hereunder due to
the prior or concurrent exercise by Mortgagee or any trustee of any of its
rights and remedies under any Other Mortgage, (b) neither Mortgagee nor any
trustee shall be precluded from or restricted in exercising any of its rights
and remedies under any Other Mortgage due to the prior or concurrent exercise by
Mortgagee of any of its rights and remedies hereunder, and (c) neither Mortgagee
nor any trustee shall be required to exercise or enforce any of its rights and
remedies under any Other Mortgage before or concurrently with the exercise by
Mortgagee of any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Mortgagor further agrees
that any particular proceeding, including foreclosure through court action (in a
state or federal court) or power of sale, may be brought and prosecuted in the
local or federal courts of any one or more of the states in which any of the
Mortgaged Property and the Other Mortgaged Properties may be located, without
regard to the fact that any one or more prior or contemporaneous proceedings
have been instituted elsewhere with respect to the same or any other portion of
the Mortgaged Properties or the Other Mortgaged Properties.
-24-
SECTION 6.9. Application of Proceeds. Following the occurrence of an
-----------------------
Event of Default, any proceeds of any of the Mortgaged Property shall be applied
first, to the costs and expenses of the Secured Parties payable
-----
pursuant to the Credit Agreement and this Mortgage,
second, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations other than
------
principal and interest,
third, to interest accrued and unpaid on the Secured Obligations, on a
-----
pro rata basis among the Secured Parties determined by the amount of
interest accrued and unpaid on the Secured Obligations of each Secured
Party,
fourth, to the satisfaction of the principal amount of the Secured
------
Obligations, on a pro rata basis among the Secured Parties determined by
principal amount of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party then
outstanding, and
fifth, the remainder, if any, to Mortgagor or such other Person as may
-----
entitled thereto by law.
Mortgagor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
SECTION 6.10. Setoff. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
------
law, at any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any
and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final
and whether or not collected or available) and any other Secured Obligations at
any time held or owing by the Secured Parties to or for the credit or account of
Mortgagor, except accounts with respect to which Mortgagor is a trustee or an
escrow agent in respect of bona fide third parties, may be offset and applied
toward the payment of the Secured Obligations owing to such Secured Party,
whether or not the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due.
SECTION 6.11. Receipt a Sufficient Discharge to Purchaser. Upon any
-------------------------------------------
sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein,
whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, the receipt by
Mortgagee or the officer making the sale under judicial proceedings of the
purchase money therefor shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser for
such purchase money, and such purchaser shall not be obligated to see to the
application thereof.
SECTION 6.12. Sale a Bar Against Mortgagor. Any sale of the Mortgaged
----------------------------
Property or any part thereof or any interest therein under or by virtue of this
Mortgage, whether pursuant to power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise, shall
forever be a bar against Mortgagor.
SECTION 6.13. Remedies Cumulative; Waiver. No remedy or right of
---------------------------
-25-
Mortgagee hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document or
otherwise, or available under applicable law, shall be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, but each such remedy or right shall be in addition to every
other remedy or right now or hereafter existing at law or in equity under any
such document or under applicable law. No delay in the exercise of, or omission
to exercise, any remedy or right accruing on any default or Event of Default
shall impair any such remedy or right or be construed to be a waiver of any such
default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, nor shall it affect any
subsequent default or Event of Default of the same or a different nature. Every
such remedy or right may be exercised concurrently or independently, and when
and as often as may be deemed proper by Mortgagee. All obligations of Mortgagor,
and all rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee expressed herein, shall be in
addition to, and not in limitation of, those provided by law or in the Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other written instrument relating to
any of the Secured Obligations or any security therefor. Any and all covenants
of Mortgagor in this Mortgage may from time to time, by instrument in writing
signed by Mortgagee, be waived to such extent and in such manner as Mortgagee
may desire, but no such waiver will ever affect or impair the rights of
Mortgagee hereunder, except to the extent specifically stated in such written
instrument.
SECTION 6.14. No Liability of Secured Parties. Notwithstanding
-------------------------------
anything contained in this Mortgage, this Mortgage is only intended as security
for the Secured Obligations and the Secured Parties shall not be obligated to
perform or discharge, and does not hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any
obligation, duty or liability of Mortgagor with respect to any of the Mortgaged
Property. Unless and until a Secured Party takes actual possession of the
Mortgaged Property, either through foreclosure, the taking of a deed in lieu
thereof or otherwise, the Secured Parties shall not have responsibility for the
control, care, management or repair of the Property nor shall such Secured Party
be responsible or liable for any negligence in the management, operation,
upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death
to any licensee, employee, tenant or stranger or other Person. Mortgagor shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Parties from and against any and all
loss, cost and liability incurred by Mortgagee in connection with any of the
foregoing which are not the responsibility of the Secured Parties in accordance
with this Section; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall not be liable for
such indemnification to any Secured Party to the extent that any such suit,
action, proceeding, claim, damage, loss, liability or expense results from such
Secured Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Property, or any part thereof, to any Person and the satisfaction of the Secured
Obligations.

or to preserve rights pertaining thereto other than the duty to use reasonable
care in the custody and preservation of any Mortgaged Property in its actual
possession. Mortgagee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any Mortgaged Property in its possession if such

SECTION 8.19. Limitation on Interest Payable. It is the intention of
------------------------------
the parties to conform strictly to the usury laws, whether State or federal,
that are applicable to the transaction of which this Mortgage is a part. All
agreements between Mortgagor and Mortgagee (and the Lenders) whether now
existing or hereafter arising and whether oral or written, are hereby expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or
agreed to be paid by Mortgagor for the use, forbearance or detention of the
money to be loaned under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, or for the
payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in the
Credit Agreement or any related document or other Loan Document, exceed the
maximum amount permissible under applicable federal or state usury laws. If
under any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any such provision, at the
time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the
limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall
be reduced to the limit of such validity. If under any circumstances Mortgagor
shall have paid an amount deemed interest by applicable law, which would exceed
the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be excessive interest under
applicable usury laws shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount
owing in respect of the Secured Obligations and not to the payment of interest,
or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal and any
other amounts due hereunder, the excess shall be refunded to Mortgagor. All sums
paid or agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance or detention of the principal
