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 Mortgage be deemed conclusively
to be real estate and mortgaged hereby.
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

assignment for additional security only. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of

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.
1.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Mortgage 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 Mortgage, Borrower hereby grants to
Lender, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter defined), a security
interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property and other
property constituting the Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to
the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property may
be subject to the Uniform Commercial
5
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 commercially
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.
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 Mortgage, and this Mortgage, 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 filed as a
fixture filing in accordance with Section 36-9-502 of the South Carolina Code
and other applicable provisions of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the
Property that is or may become fixtures.
The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender at any time and from time to
time to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and
continuation statements with or without the signature of the Borrower as
authorized by applicable law, as applicable to all or part of the fixtures or
Personal Property. For purposes of such filings, the Borrower agrees to furnish
any information requested by the Lender promptly upon request by the Lender. The
Borrower also ratifies its authorization for the Lender to have filed any like
initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements, if
filed prior to the date of this Mortgage. The Borrower hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints the Lender and any officer or agent of the Lender, with
full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys- in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Borrower or in the
Borrower's own name to execute in the Borrower's name any documents and
otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Section 1.4, to the extent that the
Borrower's authorization above is not sufficient. To the extent permitted by
law, the Borrower hereby ratifies all acts said attorneys-in-fact have lawfully
done in the past or shall lawfully do or cause to be done in the future by
virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable.
6
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 Lockbox Account (if
any), the Reserve Funds and Net Proceeds, as additional security for the
Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Mortgage or in the
Loan Agreement.
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 Mortgage, shall well
and truly perform the Other Obligations as set forth in this Mortgage and shall

pursuant to the provisions hereof shall survive any such payment or release.

Agreement), such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and

Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan
Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no claims for
payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are past due

created by the Loan Documents unless such claims for payments are being
contested in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Mortgage.

beneficiary under a letter of credit relating to the properties, rights, titles
and interests referenced in Section 1.1 of this Mortgage now or hereafter issued

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

Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and
Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy,

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 Mortgage in the absence of the
warranties and representations as set forth in Section 4.1 of the Loan
Agreement.

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
Mortgage, 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 Mortgage, 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.
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, mortgages, 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
mortgaged, 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 Mortgage or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage, 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 following an Event of
Default, including
11
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.
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 Mortgage
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 eighty (180) days to
declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(b) 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 Mortgage 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 eighty (180)
days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(c) 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 Mortgage, 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.
5.4 SPLITTING OF MORTGAGE. The provisions of Section 9.7 of the
Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
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 VI
DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE
6.1 LENDER RELIANCE. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has
examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its general 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
12
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
conducted in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and applicable law.
6.2 NO SALE/ENCUMBRANCE. Except as set forth in Section 5.2.13 of
the Loan Agreement, Borrower agrees that Borrower shall not, without the prior

pledge, assign, or otherwise transfer the Property or any part thereof,
including, but not limited to, a grant of an easement, restriction, covenant,
reservation or right of way (except as expressly permitted in Section 5.2.13 of
the Loan Agreement), or permit the Property or any part thereof to be sold,
conveyed, mortgaged, granted, bargained, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or
otherwise transferred, unless Lender shall consent thereto in accordance with
Section 6.4 hereof.
6.3 SALE/ENCUMBRANCE DEFINED. Except as permitted pursuant to the
terms of Section 5.2.13 of the Loan Agreement, a sale, conveyance, mortgage,
grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer within the meaning
of this Article 6 shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to, (a) an
installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property or any
part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (b) an agreement by
Borrower leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual
occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer
of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower's right, title and interest
in and to any Leases or any Rents; (c) the voluntary or involuntary sale,
conveyance, transfer or pledge of the stock of the general partner of Borrower
(or the stock of any corporation directly or indirectly controlling such general
partner by operation of law or otherwise) or the creation or issuance of new
stock by which an aggregate of more than ten percent (10%) of such general
partner's stock shall be vested in a party or parties who are not now
stockholders; (d) the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance, transfer or
pledge of any general or limited partnership interest in Borrower; (e) if
Borrower, any general partner of Borrower, any guarantor or any indemnitor is a
limited liability company, the change, removal or resignation of a member or
managing member or the transfer or pledge of the interest of any member or
managing member or any profits or proceeds relating to such interest; or (f) any
other transfer prohibited by the terms of the Loan Agreement.
6.4 LENDER'S RIGHTS. Except as set forth in the Loan Agreement,
Lender reserves the right to condition the consent required hereunder upon (a) a
modification of the terms hereof and of the Loan Agreement, the Note or the
other Loan Documents; (b) an assumption of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents as so modified by the proposed transferee,
subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement; (c) payment of
all of Lender's reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such transfer
including, without limitation, the cost of any third party reports, legal fees,
rating agency or required legal opinions; (d) the payment of an assumption fee
equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; (e)
the confirmation in writing by the applicable Rating Agencies that the proposed
transfer will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or
withdrawal of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in
connection with any Securitization; (f) intentionally deleted; (g) the proposed
transferee's continued compliance with the representations and covenants set
forth in Section 4.1.30 and 5.2.12 of the
13
Loan Agreement; (h) the delivery of evidence satisfactory to Lender that the
single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of Borrower following such
transfers are in accordance with the then current standards of Lender and the
Rating Agencies, or (i) such other conditions as Lender shall determine in its
reasonable discretion to be in the interest of Lender, including, without
limitation, the creditworthiness, reputation and qualifications of the
transferee with respect to the Loan and the Property. Lender shall not be
required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased
risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and
payable upon Borrower's sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance,
pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Property without Lender's consent (to the
extent such consent is required hereunder or under the Loan Agreement). This
provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain,
encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Property regardless of
whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous
sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or
transfer of the Property,
ARTICLE VII

and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law;

the payment of the Debt;
(h) the license granted to Borrower under Section 1.2 hereof shall
automatically be revoked and Lender may, to the extent permitted pursuant to

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

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

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

in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all expenses (including

acceptable to Lender. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action

Personal Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at
least five (5) 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

discretion.
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less than
all of Property, this Mortgage shall continue as a lien and security interest on
the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority.
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 Mortgage 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.
7.3 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default or if Borrower fails to make any payment or
to do any act as herein provided, Lender may, but without any obligation to do
so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower
from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such
extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. 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 Mortgage 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
16
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 Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately
due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
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.
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.
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. Unless an Event of Default shall
be continuing, in which event the action contemplated by this Section 7.6 shall
be at Borrower's sole costs and expenses hereunder.
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 Mortgage. 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 Mortgage 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 Mortgage 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,
17
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 Mortgage. The rights of Lender under this Mortgage
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.
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 Mortgage, 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
Mortgage shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion
of the Property.
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.
7.10 RECOURSE AND CHOICE OF REMEDIES. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Mortgage or the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation,
Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement, Lender and other Indemnified Parties (us
hereinafter defined) are entitled to enforce the obligations of Borrower, any
guarantor or indemnitor contained in Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 herein and
Section 9.4 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 or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure
or otherwise, and in the event Lender commences a foreclosure action against the
Property, 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 9.4
of the Loan Agreement are exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpation
provisions in the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage 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 9.4 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 9.4 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 any other rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the
Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, whether simultaneously with
foreclosure proceedings or in any other sequence. A separate action or
18
actions may be brought and prosecuted against Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.2,
9.3 and 9.4 herein and Section 9.4 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.
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
reasonable times.
7.12 RELEASE. Upon payment of all sums secured by this Mortgage,
the Lender shall release this Mortgage. The Borrower shall pay the Lender's
reasonable costs incurred in releasing this Mortgage.
