Payment Date under the Note, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the sum

amounts. Upon full payment of the Indebtedness, or, at the election of Lender
at

and
no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
3.
Assignment
of Leases and Rents.
3.1 Assignment.
To
secure the payment of the Indebtedness and performance and discharge of the
Obligations, Borrower assigns and transfers to Lender the Leases and Rents,

continue to perform its obligations under the Leases.

Lender of the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall thereafter pay to Lender

appoints Lender as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact to demand,
receive and enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions,
and
to xxx, either in Borrower’s or Lender’s name, for all Rents; provided, however,
that so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender grants Borrower a
license to collect the Rents as and when they become due and payable, but never
more than two (2) months in advance. Such license shall terminate immediately
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
3.3 Lender
in Possession.
The
assignment of Leases and Rents shall not be deemed or construed to constitute
Lender as a lender in possession nor obligate Lender to take any action or
to
incur expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability with
respect to the Leases and Rents. Exercise of any rights under this Section
and
the application of the Rents to the Indebtedness or Obligations shall not cure
or waive any Event of Default.

of Merger.
Upon
the foreclosure of this Mortgage, no assigned Lease shall be destroyed or
terminated by application of the doctrine of merger or as a matter of law unless
Lender or any purchaser at such foreclosure sale so elects. No act by or on
behalf of Lender or any such purchaser shall constitute a termination of any
assigned or subordinate Lease unless Lender or such purchaser gives written
notice thereof to the applicable tenant or subtenant.

Interest.
As
security for the payment of the Indebtedness and performance and discharge
of
the Obligations, Borrower grants Lender a security interest in the Personal

enforceable first priority lien on the Land, Improvements and Fixtures, and
a
valid and enforceable security interest in the Personal Property and all other
Property subject to no liens, charges, encumbrances other than the Permitted
Exceptions. Lender will release its lien on the Parcel upon recording of the
Principal Pay Down as set forth in Note.
Borrower
shall promptly give written notice to Lender of any breach under this Section
5.
6. Covenants
and Indemnities.
Until
the Indebtedness is paid in full and all Obligations are performed, Borrower
covenants and agrees as follows:
6.1.
Repair;
Waste.
Borrower shall (a) keep the Property in good order and condition and make all
necessary or appropriate repairs, replacements and renewals thereof, (b) comply
with all agreements affecting the Property and its use, (c) obtain the written
consent of Lender prior to making any material alterations or additions to
the
Property or removing any of the Improvements or Fixtures, (d) not abandon the
Property or leave the Property unprotected, unguarded or deserted, and (e)
not
cause or permit waste of the Property.
6.2.
Casualty.
(a) Borrower
shall give Lender prompt written notice of a Casualty. Unless Lender applies
any
insurance proceeds received to repayment of the Indebtedness, Borrower shall
promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in
accordance with applicable law to be of at least equal value and of
substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction even
if
no Policy is in effect and/or neither Lender nor Borrower receive any insurance
proceeds. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower will continue
to pay the Indebtedness in accordance with the Note and the other Transaction
Documents.
(b)
Borrower
shall promptly file and prosecute its claims for insurance under any Policies
in
good faith and with due diligence and cause the proceeds of such claims to
be
collected and paid over to Lender. Except as provided in Section 6.2 (c), Lender
will apply such insurance proceeds to the payment of the Indebtedness in
accordance with the terms of the Note. If Borrower is unable to settle its
claims under the Policies within six (6) months of a Casualty, then Lender
may
settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with
the
insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid on the loss. Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, coupled
with
an interest, with exclusive power to make any compromise or settlement in
connect with any claim under the Policies arising from the Casualty and to
collect, receive and retain any proceeds under any Policy with respect to a
Casualty, subject to the provisions of this Mortgage. The expenses incurred
by
Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall become
part
of the Indebtedness and be secured hereby and shall be reimbursed by Borrower
to
Lender upon demand.
10
(c)
If,
in
the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within a twelve
(12) month period and prior to the Maturity Day to an economic unit not
materially less valuable and not less useful than the Property was prior to
the
Casualty, and after such restoration will adequately secure the outstanding
balance of the Indebtedness, and if no Event of Default shall have occurred
and
be then continuing, then Lender shall make the proceeds of insurance (after
reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender) available to reimburse
Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the
Property or part thereof subject to the Casualty, in the manner set forth in
Section 6.2 (d). Borrower will commence and diligently to prosecute such
restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding; provided, that Borrower shall
pay
all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof
with Lender in advance) of such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding
in
excess of the net insurance proceeds made available pursuant to the terms
hereof.
(d) In
the
event Borrower is entitled hereunder to reimbursement out of insurance proceeds
held by Lender, Lender will disburse such proceeds from time to time upon being
furnished with (1) evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of
completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, (2) funds
or,
at Lender's option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds are
available, sufficient in addition to the proceeds of insurance to complete
the
proposed restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, and (3) such
architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements, title
insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other reasonable
evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require
and
approve. Lender may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications
for
such restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding be submitted to and
approved by Lender prior to commencement of work. No payment made prior to
the
final completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding shall
exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to
time; funds other than proceeds of insurance shall be disbursed prior to
disbursement of such proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of
such
proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for
that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on
behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the
reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the
restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding, free and clear of all liens
or
claims for lien. Any surplus which may remain out of insurance proceeds held
by
Lender after payment of such costs of restoration, repair, replacement or
rebuilding shall be paid to any party entitled thereto.
6.3. Condemnation.
(a)
Borrower shall give Lender prompt written notice of the actual or threatened
commencement of any Condemnation and shall deliver to Lender copies of any
and
all pleadings served in connection with such Condemnation. Unless Lender applies
the proceeds of any Award received to repayment of the Indebtedness, Borrower
shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property
in
accordance with applicable law to be of at least equal value and of
substantially the same character as prior to such condemnation, regardless
of
whether any Award is made to either Lender or Borrower. Notwithstanding the
occurrence of a Taking or Condemnation, Borrower will continue to pay the
Indebtedness in accordance with the Note and the other Transaction
Documents.
11
(b) Borrower
shall promptly file and prosecute its claims for any Awards in good faith and
with due diligence and cause the Awards to be collected and paid over to Lender.
Except as provided in Section 6.3 (c), Lender will apply an Award to the payment
of the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Note. If Borrower is
unable to settle its claims for an Award with due diligence, then Lender may
settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with
the
public or quasi-public authority or authorities on the amount to be paid as
a
result of the Taking or Condemnation. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints
Lender as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive
power to collect, receive and retain any Award for any Taking accomplished
through a Condemnation and to make any compromise or settlement in connection
with such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Mortgage. The expenses
incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of an Award shall become
part of the Indebtedness and be secured hereby and shall be reimbursed by
Borrower to Lender upon demand. Lender shall not be limited to the interest
paid
on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out
of
the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note.
(c) If,
in
the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within a twelve
(12) month period and prior to the Maturity Day to an economic unit not
materially less valuable and not less useful than the Property was prior to
such
Condemnation or Taking, and after such restoration will adequately secure the
outstanding balance of the Indebtedness, and if no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be then continuing, then Lender shall make the Award (after
reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender) available to reimburse
Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the
Property or part thereof subject to the Condemnation or Taking, in the manner
set forth in Section 6.3 (d). Borrower will commence and diligently to prosecute
such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding; provided, that Borrower
shall pay all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the
total
thereof with Lender in advance) of such restoring, repairing, replacing or
rebuilding in excess of the Award made available pursuant to the terms
hereof.
(d) In
the
event Borrower is entitled hereunder to reimbursement out of the Award held
by
Lender, Lender will disburse such proceeds from time to time upon being
furnished with (1) evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of
completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, (2) funds
or,
at Lender's option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds are
available, sufficient in addition to the Award to complete the proposed
restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, and (3) such architect's
certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements, title insurance
endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other reasonable evidences of
cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require and approve.
Lender may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for such
restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding be submitted to and approved
by
Lender prior to commencement of work. No payment made prior to the final
completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding shall exceed
ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time;
funds
other than proceeds of the Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of
such proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such proceeds
remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose
or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of
Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable
judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration, repair,
replacement or rebuilding, free and clear of all liens or claims for lien.
Any
surplus which may remain of the Award held by Lender after payment of such
costs
of restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding shall be paid to any party
entitled thereto.
12
6.4. Encumbrances,
Claims and Taxes.
Borrower shall not create, incur or permit to exist any Encumbrances on the
Property, except for (a) the Permitted Encumbrances, (b) Encumbrances in favor
of Lender or specifically approved in writing by Lender, and (c) Taxes not
delinquent or being contested in good faith in accordance with Section 6.17
(b)
below. Borrower will pay when due all Taxes and will comply with all present
and
future laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and requirements of public
authorities, including without limitation zoning laws, applicable to Borrower
and the Property. Borrower shall promptly defend any action, proceeding or
claim
affecting Borrower or the Property. Borrower
shall promptly notify Lender of the commencement of any action, proceeding
or
claim or the occurrence of any other event that could have a material adverse
effect on the Property or the financial condition or operations of Borrower
if
adversely determined.
6.5. Use
of
Property.
The
Property shall be occupied by a person or entity that is a party to a duly
authorized and validly existing sales agreement with Ford Motor Company, its
subsidiaries or affiliates or another automobile manufacturer acceptable to
Lender, and shall be used primarily as an automobile dealership facility for
the
sale of both new and used automobiles.
6.6. Leases.
(a)
Borrower will duly and punctually perform all its covenants and obligations
under the Leases and will use its best efforts to enforce the performance of
the
obligations of the lessees under the Leases. Borrower will appear and defend,
at
its cost and expense, any action or proceeding arising under or in any manner
connected with the Leases or the obligations of any lessee under a Lease.
Borrower will immediately notify Lender in writing of any default by Borrower
or
any lessee under a Lease. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower
shall not (1) terminate, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, reduce Rents
under, or shorten the term of, any of the Leases, or grant any other concessions
in connection therewith; (2) accept a surrender of all or any portion of the
Leases; (3) execute any new Lease; (4) collect any of the Rents more than one
(1) month in advance (except security deposits shall not be deemed Rents
collected in advance); (5) execute any other assignment of the lessor’s interest
in any of the Leases or the Rents; or (6) consent to any assignment of or
subletting under any Leases.
(b) Upon
written request from Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender true and complete
copy of all of the existing Leases, together with all amendments, supplements
and other modifications, and certify to Lender that, to the best of Borrower’s
knowledge, no material default by Borrower under any existing Lease remains
uncured beyond any applicable notice and cure period as of the date of such
certification, or the details of such default and the actions being taken by
Lender with respect thereto. Borrower shall not willfully withhold from Lender
any information regarding renewal, extension, amendment, modification, waiver
of
provisions of, termination, rental reduction of, surrender of space of, or
shortening of the term of, any Lease during the term of the Loan.

mutual benefit of Borrower and Lender, shall obtain and maintain the following
Policies:

coverage for riot and civil commotion, vandalism, malicious mischief, burglary
and theft, issued by an insurance company satisfactory to Lender, in an amount
not less than the full replacement cost of the Improvements, Fixtures and
Personal Property without deduction for physical depreciation; but in no event
less than the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance
provisions with respect to the Property, subject to a maximum deductible of
$5,000. Replacement value of the Improvements, Fixtures and Personal Property,
exclusive of the cost of excavation, foundations and footings below the lowest
basement floor, shall be determined from time to time during the term of the

written request of Lender by an appraiser, engineer, architect or contractor
designated by Lender, approved in writing by Borrower, and paid by Borrower.
(2) Flood

Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards
and
in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood
Insurance Program in an amount at least equal to the outstanding principal
amount of the Loan or the maximum limit of coverage available with respect
to
the Improvements, Fixtures and Personal Property under said Program, whichever
is less. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall immediately deliver evidence
satisfactory to Lender that no portion of the Improvements is situated in a
federally designated “special flood hazard area” or if it is, that Borrower has
obtained insurance meeting the requirements of this Mortgage.
(3) Comprehensive
public liability insurance, including broad form property damage, blanket
contractual and personal injuries (including death resulting therefrom)
coverages and containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000 and

and substance acceptable to Lender.
(5) Such
other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in
order to protect its interests.
14
(b) All

ability rating of "AA" or better by Standard & Poor's Rating Services and/or

the term of the Loan without cost to Lender; (6) shall be assigned and the
originals delivered to Lender; (7) contain such provisions as Lender deems
reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest including, without
limitation, endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other

least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any modification, reduction
or
cancellation; and (8) be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall
be approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss
payees and insureds. Borrower shall promptly pay all Insurance Premiums as
the
same become due and payable. Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all
Insurance Premiums have been deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms
of this Mortgage, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence of the renewal
of
each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums
or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If Borrower
does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least thirty (30) days prior
to
the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may procure, but shall not
be
obligated to procure, such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor,
and Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums
promptly on demand. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender (which
may
not be more often than once every 24 months), Borrower shall obtain such
increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably
requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money
over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and
practices.
6.8. Hazardous
Materials.
(a) All
uses and operations on or of the Property, whether by Borrower or any other
person or entity, shall be in compliance with all Environmental Laws and permits
issued pursuant thereto. There shall be no Releases of Hazardous Materials
in,
on, under or from the Property. There shall be no Hazardous Materials in, on,
or
under the Property, except those that are both (1) in compliance with all
Environmental Laws and with permits issued pursuant thereto, if and to the
extent required, and (2) (A) in amounts not in excess of that necessary to
operate the Property or (B) fully disclosed to and approved by Lender in
writing. Borrower shall keep the Property free and clear of all Environmental
Liens, whether due to any act or omission of Borrower or any other person or
entity. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, fully and expeditiously
cooperate in all activities pursuant to Subsection 6.8(b) below, including
but
not limited to providing all relevant information and making knowledgeable
persons available for interviews. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense,
perform any environmental site assessment or other investigation of
environmental conditions in connection with the Property, pursuant to any
reasonable written request of Lender, upon Lender’s reasonable belief that the
Property is not in full compliance with all Environmental Laws, and share with
Lender the reports and other results thereof, and Lender and other Indemnified
Parties shall be entitled to rely on such reports and other results thereof.
Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all reasonable written
requests of Lender to reasonably effectuate remediation of any Hazardous
Materials in, on, under or from the Property; and comply with any Environmental
Law. Borrower shall not allow any tenant or other user of the Property to
violate any Environmental Law. Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in
writing after it has become aware of any presence or Release or threatened
Releases of Hazardous Materials in, on, under, from or migrating towards the
Property; any non-compliance with any Environmental Laws related in any way
to
the Property; any actual or potential Environmental Lien; any required or
proposed remediation of environmental conditions relating to the Property;
and
any written or oral notice or other communication of which Borrower becomes
aware from any source whatsoever (including but not limited to a governmental
entity) relating in any way to Hazardous Materials. Any failure of Borrower
to
perform its obligations pursuant to this section shall constitute bad faith
waste with respect to the Property.
15
(b) Lender
and any other person or entity designated by Lender, including but not limited
to any representative of a governmental entity, and any environmental
consultant, and any receiver appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction,
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Property at
all
reasonable times to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition
of
the Property and its use, including, without limitation, conducting any
environmental site assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined
in Lender’s sole discretion) and taking samples of soil, groundwater or other
water, air, or building materials, and conducting other invasive testing.
Borrower shall cooperate with and provide access to Lender and any such person
or entity designated by Lender.
(c) Where
recommended by the Environmental Report or as a result of any other
environmental site assessment or audit of the Property, Borrower shall establish
and comply with an operations and maintenance program with respect to the
Property, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, prepared by
an
environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to Lender, which program shall
address any asbestos containing material or lead based paint that may now or
in
the future be detected at or on the Property. Without limiting the generality
of
the preceding sentence, Lender may require (1) periodic notices or reports
to
Lender in form, substance and at such intervals as Lender may specify, (2)
an
amendment to such operations and maintenance program to address changing
circumstances, laws or other matters, (3) at Borrower’s sole expense,
supplemental examination of the Property by consultants specified by Lender,
(4)
access to the Property by Lender, its agents or servicer, to review and assess
the environmental condition of the Property and Borrower’s compliance with any
operations and maintenance program, and (5) variation of the operations and
maintenance program in response to the reports provided by any such
consultants.
6.9. Compliance
with Laws.
Borrower will maintain its existence, licenses, permits, franchises and trade
names and its authorization to own and operate the Property and to carry on
its
business as presently conducted in accordance with all Applicable Laws. Borrower
will operate the Property and all businesses and other operations conducted
thereon in accordance with all Applicable Laws and private covenants now or
hereafter relating to the ownership, construction, use or operation of the
Property. Borrower shall from time to time, upon Lender’s request, provide
Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Property
complies with all Applicable Laws or is exempt from compliance with Applicable
Laws. Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any document
regarding Lender’s approval of alterations of the Property, Borrower shall not
alter the Property in any manner which would materially increase Borrower’s
responsibilities for compliance with Applicable Laws without the prior written
approval of Lender. Lender’s approval of the plans, specifications, or working
drawings for alterations of the Property shall create no responsibility or
liability on behalf of Lender for their completeness, design, sufficiency or
their compliance with Applicable Laws. The foregoing shall apply to tenant
improvements constructed by Borrower or by any of its tenants. Lender may
condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of compliance with
Applicable Laws from an independent architect, engineer, or other person
acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall provide Lender with at least 30 days'
prior
written notice of a change to Borrower's legal name, state of incorporation,
registration or organization, social security or Federal tax identification
number, location of its chief executive office, or type of business organization
(such as, corporation, partnership, limited liability company), or any violation
of Applicable Laws by the Borrower, the Property or the businesses conducted
thereon.
6.10. Inspection.
In
addition to rights to inspect the Property under Subsection 6.8(b), at all
reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, Lender and its designated agents
may enter on the Property to inspect the Property for compliance with the
terms
and conditions of this Agreement and Applicable Laws, including, without
limitation, to assess the general condition of the Property. All such
inspections shall be conducted at the cost of Borrower.
16

reflecting the results of its operations (including its operation of the
Property), in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. At

information relating to Borrower and the Property, including, without
limitation, copies of all Leases. At reasonable times and upon reasonable
notice, Lender may audit Borrower's books of account and records.
6.14 Reports
of Financial Information.
Borrower and Lessee will provide Lender (a) monthly profit and loss statements
of Lessee or Borrower, if Borrower is the operator of the Property, and (b)
annual cash flow statement, balance sheet and profit and loss statements of
Borrower and Lessee. Each Guarantor shall furnish Lender with such financial
statements (including federal and state tax returns) as may be required by
Lender from time to time. All operating statements and other financial
statements required by this Section shall be certified by Borrower, Lessee
or
Guarantor, as the case may be, in the form required by Lender; provided,
however, that in the event of a material adverse change in the financial
condition of Borrower and/or Lessee and upon at least 30 days prior written
notice, Lender may require Borrower and/or Lessee to provide audited annual
operating statements and other financial statements.

covenants of Borrower with respect to Hazardous Materials set forth in the
Transaction Documents. Borrower shall appear in and defend (or pay the expenses
of Lender to defend, if Lender elects to handle such defense) any action or
proceeding arising out of or in connection with any Indemnified Claim for which
Lender is indemnified under the Section, and will pay Lender upon demand the
amount of any Indemnified Claim for which Lender is indemnified under this
Section, together with interest thereon at the Alternative Applicable Interest
Rate from the date that Lender incurred such Indemnified Claim. Such amounts
shall constitute additions to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by the
Transaction Documents. Borrower's obligations under this Section 6.15 shall
survive payment of the Indebtedness.
6.16 Existence.
Borrower will continuously maintain (a) its existence and shall not dissolve
or
permit its dissolution, (b) its rights to do business in the state where the
Property is located and (c) its franchises and trade names, if any.

Borrower shall promptly pay all Taxes, all Other Charges, and all charges for
utility services provided to the Property as same become due and payable.

extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes and Other Charges have been deposited
with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage, Borrower shall
furnish to Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges
prior to the date the same are due. Borrower does not furnish such evidence
and
receipts at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the Taxes and Other Charges
shall become due, then Lender may pay, but shall not be obligated to pay, such
Taxes and Other Charges, and Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender for the cost
of
such Taxes and Other Charges promptly on demand.
(b) After
prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith
and
with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part
of
any of the Taxes, provided that (1) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under the Note, this Mortgage or any other Transaction Documents,
(2)
Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any other mortgage,
deed
of trust or deed to secure debt affecting the Property, (3) such proceeding
shall suspend the collection of the Taxes from Borrower and from the Property
or
Borrower shall have paid all of the Taxes under protest, (4) such proceeding
shall be permitted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument
to
which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (5)
neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger
of being sold, forfeited, foreclosed, terminated, cancelled or lost, and (6)
Borrower shall have deposited with Lender adequate reserves for the payment
of
the Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless Borrower
has

becoming a Lender in possession, Lender shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure any breach or default of Borrower and, in connection
therewith, by themselves or their agents or through a receiver appointed by
a
court of competent jurisdiction, to enter upon the Property and to do such
acts
and things as Lender, in its reasonable discretion deems necessary or desirable
to protect the security hereof including, but without limitation, to appear
in
and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof
or
the rights or powers of Lender hereunder; to pay, purchase, contest or
compromise any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of lien which, in the

7.3 Receiver.
Lender
shall be entitled, as a matter of strict right, without notice and ex parte,
and
without regard to the value or occupancy of the security, or the solvency of
the
Borrower or of the Guarantor, or the adequacy of the Property as security for
the Indebtedness, to have a receiver appointed to enter upon and take possession
of the Property, collect the Rents and profits therefrom and apply the same
as
the court may direct. Such receiver shall have all the rights and powers
permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction where the Property is located.
Borrower hereby waives any requirements on the receiver or Lender to post any
surety or other bond. Lender or the receiver may also take possession of, and
for these purposes use, any and all Personal Property or any part thereof.
The
expense (including the receiver's fees, counsel fees, costs and agent's
compensation) incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured
by this Mortgage. Lender shall (after payment of all costs and expenses
incurred) apply such Rents, issues and profits received by it on the

to account only for such Rents, issues and profits actually received by
Lender.

of
the Transaction Documents, or pursuant to any other judicial proceedings under
this Mortgage or the other Transaction Documents, may be sold in one parcel,
as
an entirety, or in such parcels, and in such manner or order as Lender, in
its
sole discretion, may elect.
7.5 No
Cure or Waiver.
Neither
Lender's nor any receiver's entry upon and taking possession of all or any
part
of the Property, nor any collection of Rents, issues, profits, insurance
proceeds, condemnation proceeds or damages, other security or proceeds of other
security, or other sums, nor the application of any collected sum to any
Indebtedness and Obligations, nor the exercise of any other right or remedy
by
Lender or any receiver shall impair the status of the security, or cure or
waive
any default or notice of default under the Transaction Documents, or nullify
the
effect of any notice of default or sale or prejudice Lender in the exercise
of
any right or remedy, or be construed as an affirmation by Lender of any tenancy,
lease or option or a subordination of the lien of this Mortgage.
7.6 No
Conditions Precedent to Exercise of Remedies.
Neither
Borrower nor any other person now or hereafter obligated for payment of all
or
any part of the Indebtedness (including Guarantor) shall be relieved of such
obligation by reason of the failure of Lender to comply with any request of
Borrower or Guarantor or of any other person so obligated to take action to
foreclose on this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any provisions of the
Transaction Documents or the Note, or by reason of the release, regardless
of
consideration, of all or any part of the security held for the Indebtedness,
or
by reason of any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner of the
Property and Lender extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of
the
Transaction Documents or Note without first having obtained the consent of
Borrower, Guarantor or such other person; and in the latter event Borrower,
Guarantor and all such other persons shall continue to be liable to make payment
according to the terms of any such extension or modification agreement, unless
expressly released and discharged in writing by Lender.
7.7 Remedies
Cumulative and Concurrent.
The
rights and remedies of Lender as provided in the Transaction Documents shall
be
cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued separately, successively or
together against Borrower or Guarantor or against other obligors or against
the
Property, or any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Lender, and
may
be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise. The failure to exercise
any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release
thereof, nor shall the choice of one remedy be deemed an election of remedies
to
the exclusion of other remedies.
22
7.8 Strict
Performance.
Any
failure by Lender to insist upon strict performance by Borrower or Guarantor
of
any of the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of the Transaction Documents
and Lender shall have the right thereafter to insist upon strict performance
by
Borrower or Guarantor of any and all of them.
7.9. Payment
of Costs, Expenses and Attorneys' Fees.
Borrower agrees to pay to Lender immediately and without demand all costs and
expenses incurred by Lender in exercising the remedies under the Transaction
Documents (including but without limit, court costs and attorneys' fees, whether
incurred in litigation or not) with interest at the Alternative Applicable
Interest Rate , from the date of expenditure until said sums have been paid.
Lender shall be entitled to bid, at the sale of the Property held pursuant
to
the power of sale granted herein or pursuant to any judicial foreclosure of

the
amount of the other Indebtedness and Obligations as a credit bid, the equivalent
of cash.
7.10. Waiver
of Redemption, Notice, Marshaling, Etc.
Borrower
hereby waives and releases to the extent allowed by applicable law (a) all
benefit that might accrue to Borrower and Guarantor by virtue of any present
or
future law exempting the Property, or any part of the proceeds arising from
any
sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale on execution, or providing for
any
appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process,
redemption or extension of time for payment; (b) unless specifically required
herein, all notices of Borrower's default or of Lender's election to exercise,
or Lender's actual exercise, of any option or remedy under the Transaction
Documents; (c) any right to have the liens against the Property marshaled;
and
(d) the right to plead or assert any statute of limitations as a defense or
bar
to the enforcement of the Transaction Documents.

The
proceeds of any sale of all or any portion of the Property and the amounts
generated by any holding, leasing, operation or other use of the Property shall
be applied by Lender (a) first, to the payment of the costs and expenses of
taking possession of the Property (which are expressly secured hereby) and
of
holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the same (including,
without limitation, payment of any Taxes or other taxes and any environmental
remediation of the Property); (b) second, to the extent allowed by law, to
the
payment of attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, including expenses and
fees
incurred on appeals and legal expenses and fees of a receiver; (c) third, to
the
payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Indebtedness; and (d) fourth,
to
the payment of the balance of the Indebtedness. The balance, if any, shall
be
paid to the parties entitled to receive it.
7.12. Release
of Collateral.
Lender
may release, regardless of consideration, any part of the security held for
the
Indebtedness or Obligations without, as to the remainder of the security, in
any
way impairing or affecting the liens of the Transaction Documents or their
priority over any subordinate lien. Without affecting the liability of Borrower,
Guarantor or any other person for payment of the Indebtedness or for performance
of the Obligations, and without affecting the rights of Lender with respect
to
any security not expressly released in writing, Lender may, at any time and
from
time to time, either before or after maturity of the Note, and without notice
or
consent: (a) release any person liable for payment of all or any part of the
Indebtedness or for performance of any Obligations; (b) make any agreement
extending the time or otherwise altering terms of payment of all or any part
of
the Indebtedness, or modifying or waiving any Obligation, or subordinating,
modifying or otherwise dealing with the lien or charge hereof; (c) exercise
or
refrain from exercising or waive any right Lender may have; (d) accept
additional security of any kind; and (e) release or otherwise deal with any
property, real or personal, securing the Indebtedness, including all or any
part
of the Property.
23
7.13. Discontinuance
of Proceedings.
In the
event Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under the Transaction
Documents and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for
any
reason, then in every such case Borrower, Guarantor and Lender shall be restored
to their former positions and the rights, remedies and powers of Lender shall
continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.
8. Secondary

Lender
may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Mortgage and the
other
Transaction Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto,

desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of the Transaction

such
instruments, certificates and other documents on or before fifteen (15) days
after receipt of written request therefore, Lender may, at the sole cost of
Borrower, make, execute and record any and all such instruments, certificates,

Right to Perform the Obligations.
Time is
of the essence. If Borrower shall fail to make any payment or perform any act
required by the Transaction Documents, then Lender, upon lapse of any grace
or
notice periods and without further notice to or demand upon Borrower and without
waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may make such payment or perform

All reasonable and necessary sums so paid by Lender, and all costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses so
incurred, together with interest thereon at the Alternative Applicable Interest
Rate , shall constitute additions to the Indebtedness, and shall be paid by
Borrower to Lender, on demand. If Lender shall elect to pay any Taxes and/or
Other Charges, Lender may do so in reliance on any xxxx, statement or assessment
procured from the appropriate public office, without inquiring into the accuracy
thereof or into the validity of any such Taxes and/or Other
Charges.
9.7. Severability.

discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed
by
the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is asserted.
9.9. Applicable
Law.

Mortgage shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

destruction or mutilation of the Note or any other Transaction Document which
is
not of public record, and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender
and cancellation of such Note or other Transaction Document, Borrower will

Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like
tenor.
