Agreement) under any of the Parking Agreements; and upon the receipt by Administrative Agent from Grantor, the easement grantor under any of the Parking Agreements, or any other party under any of the Parking Agreements, of any written notice of breach or default by Grantor as the easement grantee thereunder, Administrative Agent may rely thereon, and such notice shall constitute full authority and protection to Administrative Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith reliance thereon; and (B) enforce any and all rights and remedies of Grantor, as the easement grantee, under the Parking Agreements.

Nothing in this Section 2.1(r) shall limit Grantor’s rights under any of the Parking Agreements to contest in good faith requirements of law or other similar matters to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(v)                                 So long as this Mortgage is in effect, there shall be no merger of any of the Parking Agreements or any interest therein, or of the easement estates created thereby, with the easement grantor’s fee estate in the Easement Estate or any portion thereof by reason of the fact that any of the Parking Agreements or such interest therein may be held directly or indirectly by or for the account of any person who shall hold the easement grantor’s fee estate in the Easement Estate or any portion thereof or any

interest of the easement grantor under any of the Parking Agreements.  In case the Grantor acquires the easement grantor’s fee title to the Easement Estate, this Mortgage shall attach to and cover and be a lien upon the easement grantor’s fee title and shall, without further assignment, mortgage or conveyance, become and be subject to the lien of and covered by this Mortgage. Grantor shall notify Administrative Agent of any such acquisition and, on written request by Administrative Agent, shall cause to be executed and recorded all such other documentation and further assurances or other instruments in writing as may, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent, be necessary or appropriate to effect the intent and meaning hereof and shall, at the sole cost of Grantor, deliver to Administrative Agent an endorsement to Administrative Agent’s loan title insurance policy insuring that such fee title is subject to the lien of this Mortgage and free and clear of all liens other than the Permitted Encumbrances.

 

(vi)                              In case the Grantor obtains an easement (the “Temporary Replacement Easement”) to the Replacement Easement Land (as defined in the Parking and Access Agreement), such Temporary Replacement Easement shall be deemed after acquired property of Grantor and the lien of this Mortgage shall simultaneously attach to and cover and be a lien upon any and all rights of Grantor covering the Temporary Replacement Easement and shall, without further assignment, mortgage or conveyance, become and be subject to the lien of and covered by this Mortgage. Grantor shall notify Administrative Agent of any such Temporary Replacement Easement to the Replacement Easement Land and, on written request by Administrative Agent, shall cause to be executed and recorded all such other documentation and further assurances or other instruments in writing as may, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent, be necessary or appropriate to effect the intent and meaning hereof, including, but not limited to, an amendment to this Mortgage expressly extending the lien of this Mortgage to encumber the Temporary Replacement Easement, and shall, at the sole cost of Grantor, deliver to Administrative Agent an endorsement to Administrative Agent’s loan mortgage title insurance policy insuring that Grantor’s title to the Temporary Replacement Easement is subject to the lien of this Mortgage and free and clear of all liens other than the Permitted Encumbrances.  Grantor’s failure to execute and record all such documentation and further assurances or other instruments in writing as may, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent, be necessary or appropriate to effect the intent and meaning of this Section2.1(r)(vi) shall constitute a Default (as defined below) under Section 4.1(a) of this Mortgage.

 

(vii)                           In the event that the Grantor, as easement grantee under any of the Parking Agreements, exercises any option or right to purchase any parcel of land, which option or right is granted under any of said Parking Agreements, then upon the vesting of the title of such parcel in the

 

7











 

Grantor, this Mortgage shall attach to and cover and be a lien upon the fee title or such other estate so acquired, and such fee title or other estate shall, without further assignment, mortgage or conveyance, become and be subject to the lien of and covered by this Mortgage, provided that in the event of the failure of Grantor to exercise such option, Administrative Agent shall have, and is hereby granted, the irrevocable right to exercise any such option, whether in its own name and behalf, or in the name and behalf of its designee or nominee, or in the name and behalf of Grantor, or in any other manner authorized under the Parking Agreements as Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine.

 

(viii)                        Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Mortgage with respect to each of the Parking Agreements:

 

(1)                                 The lien of this Mortgage attaches to all of Grantor’s rights and  remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to Section 365(h) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code”) (11 U.S.C. Section 365(h)), including without limitation all of Grantor’s rights to remain in possession of the Land;

 

(2)                                 Grantor shall not, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, elect to terminate any of the Parking Agreements under subsections 365(a) or 365(d) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Sections 365(a), (d)), and any such election made without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent shall be void;

 

(3)                                 Grantor shall not, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, elect to treat any of the Parking Agreements as terminated under Subsection 365(h)(1)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Section 365(h)(l)(A)(i)), and any such election made without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent shall be void;

 

(4)                                 As additional security for the Grantor’s Secured Indebtedness, Grantor hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Administrative Agent all of Grantor’s claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by the easement grantor of the applicable Parking Agreements under the Bankruptcy Code, and Administrative Agent and Grantor shall proceed jointly or in the name of grantor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the applicable Parking Agreements, including without limitation, the right to file and prosecute any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, objections, notices and other documents in any case in respect of such lessor under the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional

 

8











 

assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all of the Grantor’s Secured Indebtedness have been satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts received by Administrative Agent or Grantor as damages arising out of the rejection of any of the Parking Agreements, as aforesaid, shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this subsection (4) and then in accordance with other applicable provisions of this Mortgage;

 

(5)                                 If, pursuant to subsection 365(h)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Section 365(h)(l)(B)), Grantor seeks to offset against the rent reserved in any of the Parking Agreements the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance of any of the easement grantor’s obligations under the applicable Parking Agreements after the rejection by the easement grantor of such applicable Parking Agreements under the Bankruptcy Code, Grantor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Administrative Agent in writing of its intent to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be offset and, in the event Administrative Agent objects, Grantor shall not effect any offset of the amounts to which Administrative Agent objects;

 

(6)                                 If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of the easement grantor or the Land in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Agent and Grantor shall cooperatively conduct and control any such litigation with counsel agreed upon between Grantor and Administrative Agent in connection therewith.  Grantor shall, upon demand, pay to Administrative Agent all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees and consultants’ fees) paid or incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the cooperative prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings; and

 

(7)                                 Grantor shall promptly, after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Administrative Agent orally, followed by confirmation in writing, of any filing by or against the easement grantor of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Grantor shall thereafter forthwith give written notice of such filing to Administrative Agent, setting forth any information available to Grantor with respect to the date of such filing, the court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought therein. Grantor shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent, following its receipt thereof, any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Grantor in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.

demand, sue for, attach, levy, recover, and receive the Rents, and to give proper receipts, releases, and acquittances therefor.  Grantor shall receive all Rents and will apply the Rents so collected first to the payment of the amount due under the Note, next to the performance and discharge of the obligations or sums due hereunder or under the Loan Documents, and next to the payment of operating expenses with respect to the Property.  Thereafter, Grantor may use the balance of the Rents collected in any manner consistent with the Loan Documents.  Neither this assignment nor the receipt of Rents by Administrative Agent (except to the extent, if any, that Administrative Agent actually receives and applies such Rents to the Secured Indebtedness at its election) shall effect a pro tanto payment of the Secured Indebtedness.  Rents actually received by Administrative Agent shall be applied by Administrative Agent as provided in Section 3.2 hereof.  Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have received Rents or to have applied Rents to the Secured Indebtedness until the money is actually received by Administrative Agent as provided in the Loan Documents, or at such other place as Administrative Agent shall designate in writing.  Administrative Agent shall not apply Rents to the Secured Indebtedness after foreclosure or any other transfer of all or any part of the Property to Administrative Agent or any third party.

 

3.3                               Rights Relating to Rents.  Grantor has, pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Mortgage, assigned to Administrative Agent all Rents under each of the “Leases” covering all or any portion of the Property.  The term “Lease” or “Leases” shall herein mean each existing or future lease, sublease (to the extent of Grantor’s rights thereunder) or other agreement under the terms of which any person has or acquires any right to occupy or use the Property, or any part thereof, or interest therein, and each existing or future guaranty of payment or performance thereunder, and all extensions, renewals, modifications and replacements of each such lease, sublease, agreement or guaranty.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or as otherwise provided in the Act, Administrative Agent, or Trustee on Administrative Agent’s behalf, may at any time, and without notice, either in person, by agent, or by receiver to be appointed by a court, enter and take possession of the Property or any part thereof, and in its own name, sue for or otherwise collect the Rents in accordance with the Act. Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 4.1 hereof), deliver a written notice from Administrative Agent or the Trustee to Grantor instructing Grantor to deliver to Administrative Agent all accruing Rents and all Rents that have accrued but are unpaid (a “Rent Demand”) or deliver a notice in substantially the form set forth in Section 64.056 of the Act sent by Administrative Agent or Trustee to a lessee demanding payment by the lessee to Administrative Agent of all unpaid accrued Rents and all unaccrued Rents as they accrue (a “Notice of Enforcement”).  Grantor agrees that pursuant to Section 64.002(a)(3) of the Act, any Rent Demand sent by Administrative Agent may be sent to Grantor in any manner and to any address described in Section 6.13 of this Mortgage.  As described in Section 64.060 of the Act, Grantor shall, within ten days after its receipt of a Rent Demand, deliver to Administrative Agent such Rents as are described in the Rent Demand.  All Rents collected by Administrative Agent, or Trustee acting on

 

11









 

Administrative Agent’s behalf, shall be applied as provided for in Section 3.2 of this Mortgage; provided, however, that if the costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees shall exceed the amount of Rents collected, the excess shall be added to the Secured Indebtedness, shall bear interest at the Past Due Rate, and shall be immediately due and payable.  The entrance upon and possession of the Property, the collection of Rents, and the application thereof as set forth above shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default, if any, hereunder nor invalidate any action pursuant to such notice.  Failure or discontinuance by Administrative Agent, or Trustee on Administrative Agent’s behalf, at any time or from time to time, to collect said Rents shall not in any manner impair the subsequent enforcement by Administrative Agent, or Trustee on Administrative Agent’s behalf, of the right, power, and authority herein conferred upon it.  Nothing contained herein, nor the exercise of any right, power, or authority herein granted to Administrative Agent, or Trustee on Administrative Agent’s behalf, shall be, or shall be construed to be, an affirmation by it of any tenancy, lease, or option, nor an assumption of liability under, nor the subordination of, the lien or charge of this Mortgage, to any such tenancy, lease, or option, nor an election of judicial relief, if any such relief is requested or obtained as to Leases or Rents, with respect to the Property or any collateral given by Grantor to Administrative Agent.  In addition, from time to time, Administrative Agent may elect, and notice hereby is given to each lessee of such right, to subordinate the lien of this Mortgage to any Lease by unilaterally executing and recording an instrument of subordination, and upon such election, the lien of this Mortgage shall be subordinate to the Lease identified in such instrument of subordination; provided, however, in each instance, such subordination will not affect or be applicable to (and will expressly exclude any) lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, claim, easement, restriction, option, covenant, and other rights, titles, interests, or estates of any nature regarding all or any portion of the Property to the extent that the same may have arisen or intervened during the period between the recordation of this Mortgage and the execution of the Lease identified in such instrument of subordination.

 

3.4                               Reliance Upon Notice of Enforcement.  All Notices of Enforcement shall be delivered to lessees in accordance with the Act.  Upon receipt from Administrative Agent of a Notice of Enforcement, each lessee is authorized and directed to pay directly to Administrative Agent all Rents thereafter accruing, and the receipt of Rents by Administrative Agent shall be a release of such Lessee to the extent of all amounts so paid.  The receipt by a lessee of a Notice of Enforcement shall be sufficient authorization for such lessee to make all future payments of Rents directly to Administrative Agent and each such lessee shall be entitled to rely on the Notice of Enforcement and shall have no liability to Grantor for any Rents paid to Administrative Agent after receipt of the Notice of Enforcement.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 64.058 of the Act, Grantor agrees that Rents so received by Administrative Agent for any period prior to foreclosure under this Mortgage or acceptance of a deed in lieu of such foreclosure may be applied by Administrative Agent to the payment of the following (in such order and priority as Administrative Agent shall determine):

 

12











 

(a) all operating expenses of the Property; (b) all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property and/or collecting Rent as it becomes due and payable; and (c) the Secured Indebtedness.  The Secured Indebtedness will not be reduced under this Section 3.4 except to the extent, if any, that Administrative Agent actually receives and applies any Rents to the Secured Indebtedness, it being recognized that there is no obligation by Administrative Agent to do so.  Grantor further acknowledges that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to apply any Rents received by Administrative Agent toward the expenses of protecting or maintaining the Property.  Without impairing its rights hereunder, Administrative Agent may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, release to Grantor any Rents so received by Administrative Agent.  As between Grantor and Administrative Agent, and any person claiming through or under Grantor, other than any lessee who has not received a Notice of Enforcement, this assignment is intended to be unconditional, presently, and immediately effective.  The Notice of Enforcement is intended solely for the benefit of the lessees and shall never inure to the benefit of Grantor or any person claiming through or under Grantor, other than a lessee who has not received such Notice of Enforcement.  It shall never be necessary for Administrative Agent to institute legal proceedings of any kind whatsoever to enforce the provisions of this Mortgage with respect to Rents.  GRANTOR SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT OR CLAIM AGAINST ANY LESSEE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY RENTS TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER AND GRANTOR SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD FREE AND HARMLESS EACH LESSEE FROM AND AGAINST ALL LIABILITY, LOSS, COST, DAMAGE, OR EXPENSE SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY SUCH LESSEE BY REASON OF SUCH LESSEE’S COMPLIANCE WITH ANY NOTICE OF ENFORCEMENT.

 

3.5                               Collection of Rent.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or as otherwise provided in the Act or this Mortgage, (a) at any time during which Grantor is receiving Rents directly from any of the lessees under the Leases, Grantor shall, upon receipt of written direction from Administrative Agent, make demand and/or sue for all Rents due and payable under one or more Leases, as directed by Administrative Agent, as it becomes due and payable, including Rents that are past due and unpaid; and (b) if Grantor fails to take such action, or at any time during which Grantor is not receiving Rents directly from lessees under the Leases, Administrative Agent may, without obligation, demand, collect, and sue for, in its own name or in the name of Grantor, all Rents due and payable under the Leases, as they become due and payable, including Rents that are past due and unpaid.

 

3.6                               Leasing.  Grantor shall not accept any deposit or prepayment of rents under the leases for any rental period exceeding one (1) month without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.  Grantor shall not lease the Property or any part of it except strictly in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

 

13











 

3.7                               Indemnification.  Failure or discontinuance by Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time, to collect Rents shall not in any manner impair the subsequent enforcement by Administrative Agent of the right, power and authority herein conferred upon Administrative Agent. 

 

3.8                               Waiver.  There shall be no merger of the leasehold estate, created by the Leases, with the fee estate of the Land without prior written consent of Administrative Agent.”

 

7.                                      Defined Terms.  Unless otherwise defined in this Modification, all undefined terms shall have the meanings given to them in the Mortgage or the Loan Agreement, as applicable.

 

8.                                      Effectiveness.  Except as otherwise expressly modified herein, all terms and provisions of the Mortgage shall remain unchanged and hereby are ratified and confirmed and shall be and shall remain in full force and effect, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

 

9.                                      Counterparts.  This Modification may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which taken together shall constitute a single instrument.

 

10.                               Binding.  This Modification shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns.
