(e)
No Defenses. The Note and this Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Note or this Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder or hereunder, render the Note or this Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or are either subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury.
(f)

(g)

There is no fact presently known to Mortgagor which has not been disclosed which materially and adversely affects, or in the judgment of a reasonable person might materially and adversely affect, the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Mortgagor. Further, and in clarification of the foregoing, all reports, certificates, affidavits, statements and other data furnished by or on behalf of Mortgagor to Mortgagee, or its respective agents, in connection with this Mortgage are true and correct in all material respects and do not omit to state any fact or circumstance necessary to make the statements contained therein misleading.

All Rents and Profits generated by or derived from the Property shall first be utilized solely for current expenses directly attributable to the ownership and operation of the Property, including, without limitation, current expenses relating to Mortgagor’s liabilities and obligations with respect to this Mortgage, and none of the Rents and Profits generated by or derived from the Property shall be diverted by Mortgagor or utilized for any other purposes unless all such current expenses attributable to the ownership and operation of the Property have been fully paid and satisfied.
(kk)
No Broker. No financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders have been dealt with by Mortgagor in connection with the Loan, except for any broker whose full
Page | 8
commission was paid out of the proceeds of the Loan as set forth on any Closing Statement or Settlement Statement pertaining to the Loan.
(ll)
Conviction of Criminal Acts. Mortgagor has never been convicted of a crime (which shall not include traffic violations) and, to Mortgagor’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry and investigation, is not currently the subject of any pending or threatened criminal investigation or proceeding.
(mm)
Security Agreements. There are no security agreements or financing statements affecting or encumbering any of the Property other than the security agreements and financing statements created in favor of Mortgagee or the First Lien Holder.
(nn)
Use of Property; Homestead. The Real Estate is neither agricultural property, nor property in agricultural use (as defined in Minn. Stat. § 40A.02, subdivision 3 or otherwise) nor used for agricultural purposes, nor owner occupied residential property of four (4) units or less, nor the homestead of Mortgagor.
(oo)
Contracts. Mortgagor will comply with all of its obligations under all Contracts which are material to the operation of the Property in accordance with Mortgagor’s current practice, and with all material obligations under all other Contracts.
1.2
Defense of Title. If, while this Mortgage is in force, the title to the Property or the interest of Mortgagee therein shall be the subject, directly or indirectly, of any action at law or in equity, or be attached directly or indirectly, or endangered, clouded or adversely affected in any manner, Mortgagor, at Mortgagor’s expense, shall take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of said title or interest, including the employment of counsel approved by Mortgagee, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of claims made against said title or interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Mortgagee reasonably determines that Mortgagor is not adequately performing its obligations under this Section, Mortgagee may, without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, take such steps with respect thereto as Mortgagee shall deem necessary or proper; any and all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, shall be immediately paid by Mortgagor on demand.
1.3
Performance of Obligations. Mortgagor shall pay and perform all of the Obligations as and when due. Further, Mortgagor shall promptly and strictly perform and comply with all covenants, conditions, obligations and prohibitions reasonably required of Mortgagor in connection with any other document or instrument affecting title to the Property, or any part thereof, regardless of whether such document or instrument is superior or subordinate to this Mortgage.
1.4
Insurance. Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagor’s expense, maintain in force and effect on the Property at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect the following insurance:
(a)
If there are any improvements on the Property, insurance against loss or damage to the Property by fire, windstorm, tornado and hail and against loss and damage by such other, further and additional risks as may be now or hereafter embraced by an “all-risk” form of insurance policy. The amount of such insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement (insurable) cost of the Improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment and other items (whether personalty or fixtures) included in the Property and owned by Mortgagor from time to time, without reduction for depreciation. The determination of the replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to comply with the requirements of the insurer issuing such coverage or, at Mortgagee’s election, by reference to such indices, appraisals or information as Mortgagee determines in its reasonable discretion. Full replacement cost, as used herein, means, with respect to the Improvements, the cost of replacing the Improvements without regard to deduction for depreciation, exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor, and means, with respect to such furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment and other items, the cost of replacing the same, in each case, with inflation guard coverage to reflect the effect of inflation, or annual valuation. Each policy or policies shall contain a replacement cost endorsement and either an agreed amount endorsement (to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions) or a waiver of any co-insurance provisions, all subject to Mortgagee’s approval.
Page | 9
(b)
Comprehensive Commercial General Liability Insurance for personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage liability in amounts not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate, together with umbrella coverage in amounts not less than $5,000,000.00. During any construction on the Property, Mortgagor’s general contractor for such construction shall also provide the insurance required in this Subsection (b). Mortgagee hereby retains the right to periodically review the amount of said liability insurance being maintained by Mortgagor and to require an increase in the amount of said liability insurance should Mortgagee deem an increase to be reasonably prudent under then existing circumstances.
(c)
General boiler and machinery insurance coverage is required if steam boilers or other pressure-fired vessels are in operation at the Property. Minimum liability amount per accident must equal the lesser of the replacement (insurable) value of the Improvements housing such boiler or pressure-fired machinery or $2,000,000.00.
(d)
If the Property or any part thereof is identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as being situated in an area now or subsequently designated as having special flood hazards (including, without limitation, those areas designated as Zone A or Zone V), flood insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or the unpaid balance of the Obligations if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured); or (ii) the maximum insurance available under the appropriate National Flood Insurance Administration program.
(e)
During the period of any construction on the Property or renovation or alteration of the Improvements, a so-called “Builder’s All-Risk Completed Value” or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form for any Improvements under construction, renovation or alteration in an amount approved by Mortgagee and Worker’s Compensation Insurance covering all persons engaged in such construction, renovation or alteration.
(f)
At any time there are tenants of the Property, loss of rents or loss of business income insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate Mortgagor for all Rents and Profits during a period of not less than twelve (12) months in which the Property may be damaged or destroyed. The amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the Rents and Profits or income payable during the succeeding twelve (12) month period.
(g)
Any other insurance coverage reasonably required by Mortgagee in connection with this Mortgage, commercially available at reasonable rates and in effect as of the date hereof.
All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers authorized to do business in the state within which the Property is located and who have and maintain a rating of at least “A-” from Standard & Poors (or, alternatively, if the insurers maintain re-insurance with re-insurers maintaining such rating, Mortgagee will not unreasonably withhold its consent to satisfying such required rating by means of a “cut-through” endorsement allowing recourse directly against a reinsurer maintaining such rating), (ii) contain the complete address of the Property (or a complete legal description), and (iii) be for terms of at least one year.
Mortgagor shall as of the date hereof deliver to Mortgagee evidence that said insurance policies have been paid current as of the date hereof and original certificates of insurance signed by an authorized agent of the applicable insurance companies evidencing such insurance satisfactory to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall renew all such insurance and deliver to Mortgagee certificates evidencing such renewals at least thirty (30) days before any such insurance shall expire. Without limiting the required endorsements to the insurance policies, Mortgagor further agrees that all such policies shall include a standard, non-contributory, mortgagee clause naming:
US Income Partners, LLC,
its successors and/or assigns, as their interests may appear
0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000
Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000
(x) as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies, (y) as the second mortgagee on all property insurance policies and (z) as the loss payee on all loss of rents or loss of business income insurance policies. Mortgagor further agrees that all such insurance policies: (1) shall provide for at least ten (10) days prior written
Page | 10
notice to Mortgagee prior to any cancellation or termination thereof and prior to any modification thereof which adversely affect the interest of Mortgagee; (2) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Mortgagor which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance; (3) shall waive all rights of subrogation against Mortgagee; (4) in the event that the Real Estate or the Improvements constitutes a legal non-conforming use under applicable building, zoning or land use laws or ordinances, shall include an ordinance or law coverage endorsement which will contain Coverage A: “Loss Due to Operation of Law” (with a minimum liability limit equal to Replacement Cost With Agreed Value Endorsement), Coverage B: “Demolition Cost” and Coverage C: “Increased Cost of Construction” coverages; and (5) may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that, in the event that any such coverage is provided in the form of a blanket policy, Mortgagor hereby acknowledges and agrees that failure to pay any portion of the premium therefor which is not allocable to the Property or by any other action not relating to the Property which would otherwise permit the issuer thereof to cancel the coverage thereof, would require the Property to be insured by a separate, single-property policy. The blanket policy must properly identify and fully protect the Property as if a separate policy were issued for 100% of Replacement Cost at the time of loss and otherwise meet all of Mortgagee’s applicable insurance requirements set forth in this Section 1.4. The delivery to Mortgagee of the certificates of insurance as provided above shall constitute an assignment of all proceeds payable under such insurance policies relating to the Property by Mortgagor to Mortgagee as further security for the Obligations, subject to the rights of the First Lien Holder. In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all unearned insurance premiums and proceeds payable under such policies then in force concerning the Property shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, or in Mortgagee or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title whether or not the damage to the Property occurred prior to such transfer of title. Approval of any insurance by Mortgagee shall not be a representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance. In the event Mortgagor fails to provide, maintain, keep in force the policies of insurance required by this Mortgage, deliver and furnish to Mortgagee the certificates of insurance required by this Mortgage or evidence of their renewal as required herein, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and Mortgagor shall pay all amounts advanced by Mortgagee therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date advanced by Mortgagee until actually repaid by Mortgagor, promptly upon demand by Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the insolvency of the insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform, even though Mortgagee has caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after failure of Mortgagor to furnish such insurance. Subject to the First Mortgage, Mortgagor shall not obtain insurance for the Property in addition to that required by Mortgagee without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that (i) Mortgagee is a named insured on such insurance, (ii) Mortgagee receives complete copies of all policies evidencing such insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable requirements set forth herein. To the extent that at any time Mortgagee agrees to accept insurance from an insurer that is rated less than the foregoing, Mortgagee may terminate its waiver and reassert the aforesaid minimum rating requirements upon any renewal of any insurance coverage, or at any time if the rating of any insurer is reduced or Mortgagee determines that any other material adverse event has occurred with respect to the financial condition of such insurer.
1.5
Payment of Taxes. 1) Except to the extent provision is actually made therefor pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid, no later than five (5) days prior to the last day for payment without penalty or interest, all taxes, assessments, water rents, sewer rents, governmental impositions and other charges, including, without limitation, vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Real Estate, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against, or which are or may become a lien upon, the Property (“Taxes”), and all ground rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Other Charges”), and 2) Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee with receipts (or if receipts are not immediately available, with copies of canceled checks evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after they become available) showing payment of such Taxes and Other Charges at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable delinquency date therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor may in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and upon notice to Mortgagee, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted Taxes or Other Charges so long as (x) such contest is diligently pursued, (y) Mortgagee determines, in its reasonable opinion, that such contest suspends the obligation to pay the Taxes or Other Charges and that nonpayment of such Taxes or Other Charges will not result in the sale, loss, forfeiture or diminution of the Property or any part thereof or any interest of Mortgagee therein, and (z) if not required under the First Mortgage and subject to the Subordination Agreement, prior to the
Page | 11
earlier of the commencement of such contest or the delinquency date of the asserted Taxes or Other Charges, Mortgagor deposits in the Impound Account an amount determined by Mortgagee to be adequate to cover the payment of such Taxes or Other Charges and a reasonable additional sum to cover possible interest, costs and penalties; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall promptly cause to be paid any amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all interest, costs and penalties thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; and provided, further, that in any event each such contest shall be concluded, the Taxes or Other Charges, as the case may be, together with any applicable interest, costs and penalties, shall be paid prior to the date any writ or order is issued under which the Property may be sold, lost or forfeited.
1.6
Tax and Insurance Impound Account. Subject to the terms and conditions of the following paragraph, Mortgagor shall establish and maintain with Mortgagee at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect an impound account (the “Impound Account”) for payment of Taxes and Other Charges and for the premiums on the insurance required to be maintained with respect to Mortgagor and the Property (“Insurance Premiums”) and as additional security for the Obligations. In addition to the initial deposit to the Impound Account required simultaneously with the execution hereof, commencing on the first payment date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each payment date until the Note and all other Obligations are fully paid and performed, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, for deposit to the Impound Account, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual Taxes and Other Charges that will next become due and payable on the Property, plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual Insurance Premiums that will next become due and payable, each as estimated and determined by Mortgagee. So long as no event occurs, and no state of facts exists, which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time, would constitute an Event of Default (as defined in Section 2.1 hereunder) (such event or state of facts, a “Default”), all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Mortgagee in the Impound Account to pay said Taxes and Other Charges, in periodic installments, and Insurance Premiums in one annual installment, in each case, before the same become delinquent. Mortgagor shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Mortgagee, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all Taxes and Other Charges, and all Insurance Premiums, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee shall pay the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely on any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. The Impound Account shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Mortgagee’s option and in Mortgagee’s discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Mortgagee with the general funds of Mortgagee. No interest on the funds contained in the Impound Account shall be paid by Mortgagee to Mortgagor. The Impound Account is solely for the protection of Mortgagee and entails no responsibility on Mortgagee’s part beyond the payment of Taxes and Other Charges, and of Insurance Premiums, following receipt of bills, invoices or statements therefor in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually received. Upon assignment of this Mortgage by Mortgagee, any funds in the Impound Account shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Mortgagee, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If the total funds in the Impound Account shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Mortgagee for the purposes of the Impound Account, such excess may be credited by Mortgagee on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Mortgagee, refunded to Mortgagor. If at any time Mortgagee determines that, with the making of all monthly deposits to the Impound Account when due, the Impound Account nonetheless would not contain sufficient funds to pay the next due periodic installments of all Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to the delinquency date thereof, or to pay the next due annual Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof, Mortgagor shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Mortgagee the full amount of any such deficiency. If the Mortgagor shall fail to deposit with Mortgagee the full amount of such deficiency as provided above, Mortgagee shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make such deposit and all amounts so deposited by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee until actually paid by Mortgagor, shall be immediately paid by Mortgagor on demand. At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in the Impound Account against the Obligations in whatever order Mortgagee shall subjectively determine. No such application of the Impound Account shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default hereunder, and any such application shall not limit Mortgagor’s obligation to deposit any deficiency of which Mortgagee gives notice. Upon full payment of
Page | 12
the Obligations in accordance with its terms or at such earlier time as Mortgagee may elect, the balance of the Impound Account then in Mortgagee’s possession shall be paid over to Mortgagor and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee hereby waives the requirement for deposit by Mortgagor of the sums described in the preceding paragraph in the Impound Account, for so long as (i) there is the First Mortgage on the Property; (ii) there is no Default or Event of Default under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents and (iii) Mortgagor delivers to Mortgagee, no later than five (5) days prior to the last day for payment of such sums without penalty or interest, evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee in Mortgagee’s sole and absolute discretion, that all sums described in Section 1.5 above have been paid in full. Upon failure of either of the foregoing conditions, the waiver set forth in this paragraph shall immediately and automatically become null and void, without notice from Mortgagee to Mortgagor.
1.7
Condemnation and Casualty. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prompt written notice of the occurrence of any material casualty affecting, or the institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of, the Property or any portion thereof. All insurance proceeds on the Property, and all causes of action, claims, compensation, awards and recoveries for any damage, condemnation or taking of all or any part of the Property or for any damage or injury to it for any loss or diminution in value of the Property, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Mortgagee, subject to the First Mortgage. Mortgagee may participate in any suits or proceedings relating to any such proceeds, causes of action, claims, compensation, awards or recoveries and Mortgagee is hereby authorized, in its own name or in Mortgagor’s name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and Mortgagor shall from time to time deliver to Mortgagee any instruments required to permit such participation; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Mortgagee shall not have the right to participate in the adjustment of any loss which is not in excess of the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $2,000.00. Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee’s option and subject to the First Mortgage, (y) if requested by Mortgagor and consented to by Mortgagee, hold the balance of any of such proceeds to be used to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of restoring and repairing the Property to the equivalent of its original condition or to a condition reasonably approved by Mortgagee (the "Restoration"), or (z) apply the balance of such proceeds to the payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due. To the extent Mortgagee, pursuant to Mortgagor’s request and in accordance with the terms hereof, determines to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds to Restoration, Mortgagee shall do so in accordance with Mortgagee’s then-current policies relating to the, as applicable, restoration of casualty damage on similar properties or restoration or rebuilding of properties that have been the subject of a partial condemnation. Mortgagee shall not exercise its option to apply insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the payment of the Obligations if all of the following conditions are met: (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (2) in the case of casualty, less than forty percent (40%) of the Improvements has been damaged, or in the case of a taking, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Improvements has been taken; (3) Mortgagee determines, in its reasonable discretion, that there will be sufficient funds to complete the Restoration (including, without limitation, by means of a deposit of any shortfall by Mortgagor with Mortgagee prior to the commencement of the Restoration or promptly upon Mortgagee’s determination that such a shortfall exists); (4) Mortgagee determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the rental income from the Property after completion of the Restoration will be sufficient to meet all operating costs and other expenses, deposits to the Impound Account, deposits to reserves and loan repayment obligations relating to the Property and that the debt service coverage ratio for the Property after Restoration will be the same as on the closing date of the Loan and the ratio of the loan to value after Restoration will be the same as on the closing date of the Loan; (5) Mortgagee determines, in its reasonable discretion, that (A) the Restoration will be completed before the earlier of (i) one year before the Maturity Date or (ii) one year after the date of the loss or casualty and (B) the rent loss insurance or business interruption insurance referenced in Section 1.4(f) above will cover all payments due under the Loan during the completion of the Restoration; and (6) upon Mortgagee's request, Mortgagor provides Mortgagee evidence of the availability during and after the Restoration of the insurance required to be maintained by Mortgagor pursuant to Section 1.4.
Unless Mortgagee otherwise agrees in writing, any application of any awards or proceeds to the Obligations shall not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note or the Loan Documents or change the amount of such installments. Mortgagor agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any awards or proceeds as Mortgagee may require. Any reduction in the Obligations resulting from
Page | 13
Mortgagee’s application of any sums received by it hereunder shall take effect only when Mortgagee actually receives such sums and elects to apply such sums to the Obligations and, in any event, the unpaid portion of the Obligations shall remain in full force and effect and Mortgagor shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Partial payments received by Mortgagee, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be applied first to the final payment due under the Note and thereafter to installments due under the Note in the inverse order of their due date. If Mortgagor elects to effect a Restoration, Mortgagor shall promptly and diligently, at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds or condemnation award, as appropriate, shall be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such casualty or partial taking in accordance with the foregoing provisions and Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee all costs and expenses of Mortgagee incurred in administering said rebuilding, restoration or repair, provided the Mortgagee makes such proceeds or award available for such purpose. Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as may be requested by Mortgagee to confirm the foregoing assignment to Mortgagee of any award, damage, insurance proceeds, payment or other compensation. Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any Obligations is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Mortgagor and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Mortgagor subsequent to the date hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this section and the Subordination Agreement, to settle for, collect and receive any such awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittances therefor.
1.8
Mechanics’ Liens. Mortgagor shall pay when due all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or materials delivered for the Real Estate or Improvements; provided, however, that, Mortgagor shall have the right to contest in good faith any such claim or demand, so long as it does so diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Mortgagee, and provided that neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result of such proceeding or contest. In the event Mortgagor shall contest any such claim or demand, Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of such contest and thereafter shall, upon Mortgagee’s request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other security satisfactory to Mortgagee to protect Mortgagee’s interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful. If Mortgagor shall fail to promptly discharge or provide security against any such claim or demand as aforesaid, Mortgagee may do so and any and all expenses incurred by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee until actually paid by Mortgagor, shall be immediately paid by Mortgagor on demand.
1.9
Assignment of Leases and Rents and Profits. As additional and collateral security for the payment of the Obligations and cumulative of any and all rights and remedies herein provided for, Mortgagor hereby absolutely and presently assigns to Mortgagee all existing and future Leases, and all existing and future Rents and Profits. Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee the sole, exclusive and immediate right, without taking possession of the Property, to demand, collect (by suit or otherwise), receive and give valid and sufficient receipts for any and all of said Rents and Profits, for which purpose Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact with full power to appoint substitutes or a trustee to accomplish such purpose (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any Obligations is outstanding, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Mortgagor and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Mortgagor subsequent to the date hereof). Mortgagee shall be without liability for any loss that may arise from a failure or inability to collect Rents and Profits, proceeds or other payments. However, until the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall have a license to collect and receive the Rents and Profits when due and prepayments thereof for not more than one month prior to due date thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagor’s license shall automatically terminate without notice to Mortgagor and Mortgagee may thereafter, without taking possession of the Property, collect the Rents and Profits itself or by an agent or receiver. From and after the termination of such license, Mortgagor shall be the agent of Mortgagee in collection of the Rents and Profits and all of the Rents and Profits so collected by Mortgagor shall be held in trust by Mortgagor for the sole and exclusive benefit of Mortgagee and Mortgagor shall, within one (1) business day after receipt of any Rents and Profits, pay the same to Mortgagee to be applied by Mortgagee as hereinafter set forth. Neither the demand for or collection of Rents and Profits by Mortgagee, nor the exercise of Mortgagee’s rights as assignee of the Leases, shall constitute any assumption by Mortgagee of any obligations under any Lease or other agreement relating thereto. Mortgagee is obligated to
Page | 14
account only for such Rents and Profits as are actually collected or received by Mortgagee. Mortgagor irrevocably agrees and consents that the Tenants and respective payors of the Rents and Profits shall, upon demand and notice from Mortgagee of an Event of Default hereunder, pay said Rents and Profits to Mortgagee without liability to determine the actual existence of any Event of Default claimed by Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby waives any right, claim or demand which Mortgagor may now or hereafter have against any such Tenant or payor by reason of such payment of Rents and Profits to Mortgagee, and any such payment shall discharge such Tenant’s or payor’s obligation to make such payment to Mortgagor. All Rents and Profits collected or received by Mortgagee shall be applied against all expenses of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, against costs of operation and management of the Property and against the Obligations, in whatever order or priority as to any of the items so mentioned as Mortgagee directs in its sole subjective discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security. Neither the exercise by Mortgagee of any rights under this Section nor the application of any Rents and Profits to the Obligations shall cure or be deemed a waiver of any Default or Event of Default hereunder. The assignment of Leases and of Rents and Profits hereinabove granted shall continue in full force and effect during any period of foreclosure or redemption with respect to the Property.
1.10
Leases.
(a)
Entering Into Leases. Mortgagor may enter into a proposed Lease (which includes the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a “Renewal Lease”)) without the prior written consent of Mortgagee if such proposed Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the Tenant) as of the date such Lease is executed by Mortgagor (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arms-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party Tenant for occupancy by the lessee under such Lease, (iii) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole, (iv) is subject and subordinate to this Mortgage, and obligates the lessee thereunder to attorn to Mortgagee, (v) does not contain any option or right of first refusal to purchase all or any portion of the Property, (vi) expressly provides that the portion of the Property demised thereby shall not be used for a “Prohibited Use” (as defined below) and (vii) is written on the standard form of lease which was either delivered to Mortgagee simultaneously herewith or was subsequently approved by Mortgagee, in either case with only immaterial variations from such standard form. As used in this Mortgage, a "Prohibited Use" shall mean (1) operation of a dry-cleaning business, except for a dry-cleaning business at which no on-site cleaning operations of any sort are undertaken (i.e., a so-called drop-off station); (2) operation of a gasoline station or automobile service or maintenance facility; (3) operation of a car wash; (4) operation of any other business that, in the ordinary course of operation, would be likely to result in the release of Hazardous Substances (as defined in Section 1.25 hereof); (5) the sale or display of obscene or pornographic material, the conduct of obscene, nude or semi-nude live performances, or similar purposes; and (6) the operation of a cabaret, dance hall or similar venue. All proposed Leases which do not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 1.10 (a) shall be subject to the prior approval of Mortgagee and its counsel, at Mortgagor’s expense (and, in conjunction therewith, Mortgagor shall provide Mortgagee with such information as Mortgagee shall reasonably request with respect to such proposed Lease and the Tenant thereunder), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b)
Covenants Regarding Leases. Mortgagor (i) shall observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under each Lease, and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any Lease as security for the Obligations; (ii) upon request (which request is hereby deemed given with respect to any lease over 5,000 square feet), shall promptly send copies to Mortgagee of all notices of default which Mortgagor shall receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in each Lease upon the part of the Tenant thereunder to be observed or performed, (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (it being acknowledged that security deposits shall not be deemed Rents collected in advance); (v) shall not execute any other assignment of the lessor’s interest in any of the Leases or the Rents and Profits (other than to Mortgagee as security for the Obligations or to the First Lien Holder); and (vi) shall not consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Lease not in accordance with the terms of such Lease, in each case without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Acceleration. Accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any or all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest, notice, or action of any
Page | 24
kind whatever (each of which is hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable. Upon any such acceleration, payment of such accelerated amount shall constitute a prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and any applicable prepayment fee provided for in the Note shall then be immediately due and payable.
(b)
Entry on the Property.

Any such receiver shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including, without limitation, the full power to hold, develop, rent, lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use of the Property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances as more fully set forth in Section 3.3 below. Such receivership shall, at the option of Mortgagee, continue until full payment of all of the Obligations or until title to the Property shall have passed by foreclosure sale under this Mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
(e)
Foreclosure.

(f)
Rights under the Uniform Commercial Code. Exercise any or all of the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code against the UCC Collateral, either separately or together, and in any order, without in any way affecting the availability of Mortgagee's other remedies. Furthermore, to the extent permitted by law, in conjunction within, addition to or in substitution for the rights and remedies available to Mortgagee pursuant to any applicable Uniform Commercial Code: in the event of a foreclosure sale with respect to the portions of the Property which are not UCC Collateral, the Property (including the UCC Collateral) may, at the option of Mortgagee, be sold as a whole or in parts, as determined by Mortgagee in its sole discretion; and (2) it shall not be necessary that (x) Mortgagee take possession of the UCC Collateral, or any part thereof, prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section is conducted, or (y) the UCC Collateral, or any part thereof, be present at the location of such sale; and (3) Mortgagee may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Mortgagee, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of Mortgagee.

Any such Tenant, lessee or third party is hereby irrevocably authorized to rely upon and comply with (and shall be fully protected by Mortgagor in so doing) any request, notice or demand by Mortgagee for the payment to Mortgagee of any Rents and Profits or other sums which may be or thereafter become due under its Lease, contract or other agreement, or for the performance of any undertakings under any such Lease, contract or other agreement, and shall have no right or duty to inquire whether any Event of Default under this Mortgage, or any default under any of the other Loan Documents, has actually occurred or is then existing. Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints Mortgagee, its assignees, successors, transferees and nominees, as Mortgagor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution in the Property, in Mortgagor’s name, place and stead, to do or permit any one or more of the foregoing described rights, remedies, powers and authorities, successively or concurrently, and said power of attorney shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as any Obligations is outstanding. Any money advanced by Mortgagee in connection with any action taken under this Section 3.3, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date of making such advancement by Mortgagee until actually paid by Mortgagor, shall be a demand obligation owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee.
3.4
Occupancy After Foreclosure.

Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of the Property upon the termination of such tenancy, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for unlawful detainer of the Property in the appropriate court of the county in which the Real Estate is located.
3.5

No delay or failure by Mortgagee to exercise any right or remedy under this Mortgage shall be construed to be a waiver of that right or remedy or of any Event of Default hereunder.

Neither the failure by Mortgagee to exercise, nor the delay by Mortgagee in exercising, any right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default by Mortgagor hereunder shall be construed as a waiver of such Event of Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Mortgagee of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Mortgagor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Mortgagee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. No notice to nor demand on Mortgagor in any case shall of itself entitle Mortgagor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Acceptance by Mortgagee of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any of the Obligations shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way affect the existence of a Default or an Event of Default hereunder. In case Mortgagee shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Mortgagee shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Obligations, the Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Mortgagee shall continue as if the same had never been invoked.
5.10
Governing Law.

5.14
Unsecured Portion of Indebtedness. If any part of the Obligations cannot be lawfully secured by this Mortgage or if any part of the Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security interest hereof to the full extent of such indebtedness, then all payments made shall be applied on said indebtedness first in discharge of that portion thereof which is unsecured by this Mortgage.
5.15

5.16
Interest After Sale. In the event the Property or any part thereof shall be sold upon foreclosure as provided hereunder, to the extent permitted by law, the sum for which the same shall have been sold shall, for purposes of redemption (pursuant to the laws of the state in which the Property is located), bear interest at the Default Interest Rate.
5.17

5.18
No Merger. It is the desire and intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage and the lien hereof do not merge in fee simple title to the Property. It is hereby understood and agreed that should Mortgagee acquire any additional or other interests in or to the Property or the ownership thereof, then, unless a contrary intent is manifested by Mortgagee as evidenced by an appropriate document duly recorded, this Mortgage and the lien hereof shall not merge in such other or additional interests in or to the Property, toward the end that this Mortgage may be foreclosed as if owned by a stranger to said other or additional interests.
5.19
Rights With Respect to Junior Liens. Any person or entity purporting to have or to take a junior mortgage or other lien upon the Property or any interest therein shall be subject to the rights of Mortgagee to amend, modify, increase, vary, alter or supplement this Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents and to extend the maturity date of the Obligations and to increase the amount of the Obligations and to waive or forebear the exercise of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and to release any collateral or security for the Obligations, in each and every case without obtaining the consent of the holder of such junior lien and without the lien or security interest of this Mortgage losing its priority over the rights of any such junior lien.
