Page 17










 








 


Section 4.7     Escrow Fund. 


 


Borrower shall establish a fund (“Escrow Fund”) sufficient to pay and discharge, with respect to the Property, all taxes, assessments, non-metered water and sewer charges, frontage charges, flood insurance (if Land is located in a federal special flood hazard area), hazard, liability and other property insurance premiums (at the option of Lender), municipal charges, governmental impositions and other charges, including vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Land (“Real Property Taxes”). Initial deposits of Real Property Taxes shall be made by Borrower to Lender in amounts determined by Lender in its discretion on the date hereof. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the first day of each calendar month occurring after the date hereof one-twelfth (1/12) of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Real Property Taxes payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, upon the due dates established by the appropriate taxing authority(ies) during the next ensuing twelve (12) months. Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Real Property Taxes of which Borrower has obtained knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Real Property Taxes directly from the appropriate tax authority.


 


Provided there are sufficient amounts in the Escrow Fund and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall pay the Real Property Taxes as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf of Borrower by applying amounts in the Escrow Fund to the payments of such Real Property Taxes. If the amount of the Escrow Fund exceeds the amounts due for Real Property Taxes, Lender may, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall reasonably estimate as sufficient to make up such deficiency. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Unless required by applicable Law, no earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower or any other Person.


 


In the events that (a) water and/or sewer charges are assessed against the Property on a metered basis and (b) the Borrower fails to timely pay such charges to the applicable Governmental Authority, the Lender (y) shall be entitled (but not required) to pay same and/or (z) may require the Borrower to pay to the Lender a sum of money equal to 150% of the amount of such charges (annualized), as determined by Lender on the basis of examination of historical records, current estimated usage or such other data available to Lender, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such sum to the Lender upon demand which funds shall be held by Lender in a non-interest bearing account or may be comingled with its general funds and may be used by Lender to pay such outstanding charges, held as additional collateral or applied in reduction of any amounts due and owing to the Lender.

Section 4.8     Taxes on Lender/Moratorium Laws.


 


Borrower will pay any taxes (except income, franchise or similar taxes) now or hereafter imposed on Lender by reason of its ownership of the Note or this Mortgage. In the event of the passage after the date hereof of any Law deducting from the value of Property for the purposes of taxation any Lien thereon or changing in any way the laws of taxation of mortgages or debts secured by mortgages or the manner of the collection of any such taxes, so as to affect this Mortgage, the holder hereof shall have the right to give thirty days' written notice to the owner of the Property requiring the payment in full of the Note and all other sums due hereunder and if such notice is given, the Note and all other sums due hereunder shall become due and payable and collectible at the expiration of said thirty days. If this Mortgage is now or shall hereafter be protected or affected by moratorium laws or by any other statute or statutes preventing Lender from foreclosing for nonpayment of principal upon the Maturity Date (“Moratorium Laws”), Borrower hereby undertakes to continue to pay amortization, plus interest at the Default Rate, monthly to Lender (if Lender so elects and only so long as the Moratorium Laws protect Borrower), such monthly payments to commence on the Maturity Date and monthly thereafter for as long as the Moratorium Laws remain in effect, such amortization based upon the greater of (a) amortization payments due in the last year of this Mortgage prior to the Maturity Date or (b) amortization required by the Moratorium Laws. In the event that Borrower defaults in the payment of any such installment of amortization on any due date, Lender shall have the right to foreclose solely by reason of such default. Upon the expiration of the protection(s) afforded by any Moratorium Laws, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan plus all other sums due and owing pursuant to the Note and hereunder shall become immediately due and payable.


 


Section 4.9     Payment of the Indebtedness Secured Obligations/Terms of Note. 


 


Borrower shall pay the Indebtedness and all other Secured Obligations including any and all other interest, charges, fees, costs and expenses that may come due thereunder or under any Loan Document.

Section 5.3     Tenant Security.


 


Borrower will not commingle any Tenant Security with any other assets of Borrower.


 


Section 5.4     Assignment of Leases, Rents.


 


(1)     As part of the consideration for Lender’s issuance of the Loan to Borrower, Borrower absolutely and irrevocably assigns to Lender all of Borrower's right, title and interest in, to and under all present and future Leases and Rents and Tenant Security and all proceeds from the sale or other disposition of such Leases, Rents and Tenant Security (“Assignment of Leases and Rents”). This Assignment of Leases and Rents is immediately effective and is a present, absolute and irrevocable transfer and assignment, not an assignment for security purposes only, and Lender's right to the Leases and Rents and Tenant Security and the proceeds thereof is not contingent upon, and may be exercised without possession of, all or any portion of the Property and without further action by the Borrower. Promptly upon request by Lender, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver such further assignments as Lender may from time to time require. (Notwithstanding the definition of the term “Property” hereinbefore set forth, for purposes of giving effect to this absolute assignment of the Lease and Rents, and for no other purpose, the Leases and Rents shall not be deemed to be a part of the "Property; however, if this present, absolute and unconditional assignment of the Leases and Rents is not enforceable by its terms under the laws of the Property Jurisdiction, then the Leases and Rents shall be included as a part of the Property and it is the intention of the Borrower that in this circumstance this Mortgage create and perfect a Lien on the Leases and Rents in favor of Lender, which lien shall be effective as of the date of this Instrument.)


 





Page 22










 








 


(2)     Notwithstanding such Assignment of Leases and Rents


 


	 	
			(i)

				
			Lender confers upon Borrower a revocable license to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable and not in advance (“License to Collect Rents”). Borrower shall hold the Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease or Tenant Security or a portion thereof sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Secured Obligations, in trust for Lender for use in the payment of such sums and shall apply all Rents to pay the installments of interest and principal then due and payable under the Note and the other amounts then due and payable under the other Loan Documents, including the Escrow Fund and all current costs and expenses of managing, operating and maintaining the Property, including utilities, Real Property Taxes and insurance premiums for Required Insurance, tenant improvements and other capital expenditures. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Rents remaining after application pursuant to the preceding sentence may be retained and/or subject to the payment of all current debt service and other expenses of maintaining the Property, distributed by Borrower free and clear of, and released from, Lender's rights with respect to Rents under this Instrument.

			



 


	 	
			(ii)

				
			As part of the License to Collect Rents, Lender also confers upon Borrower all rights, power and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease (except as otherwise limited by this Article or elsewhere herein), including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any Lease or extend or terminate any Lease.

			



 


(3)     From and after the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, and without the necessity of Lender entering upon and taking and maintaining control of the Property directly, or by a receiver, (i) Borrower's License to Collect Rents shall automatically terminate, (ii) Lender shall without notice be entitled to all Rents as they become due and payable, including Rents then due and unpaid, (iii) the authority granted in Section 5.4(2)(ii) shall be automatically revoked, (iv) Borrower authorizes Lender to collect, sue for and compromise Rents and directs each Tenant to pay all Rents to, or as directed by, Lender, (v) Borrower shall, upon Borrower's receipt of any Rents pay the total amount of such receipts to the Lender, (vi) Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand all Rents to which Lender is entitled and (vii) Lender immediately shall have all rights, powers and authority granted to Borrower under any Lease, including the right, power and authority to modify the terms of any such Lease, or extend or terminate any such Lease. At any time on or after the date of Lender's demand for Rents, Lender may give, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to give, notice to all Tenants of the Property instructing them to pay all Rents to Lender, no Tenant shall be obligated to inquire further as to the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, and no Tenant shall pay to or be obligated to pay to Borrower any amounts which are actually paid to Lender in response to such a notice. Any such notice by Lender shall be delivered to each Tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit. Borrower shall not interfere with and shall cooperate with Lender's collection of such Rents.


 





Page 23










 








 


(4)     If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, regardless of the adequacy of Lender's security or the solvency of Borrower and even in the absence of waste, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Property in order to perform all acts that Lender in its discretion determines to be necessary or desirable for the operation and maintenance of the Property, including the execution, cancellation or modification of Leases, the collection of all Rents, the making of repairs to the Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management, operation or maintenance of the Property or for such other purposes as Lender in its discretion may deem necessary or desirable.


 


(5)     Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the exercise by Lender, either directly or by a receiver, of any of the rights conferred under this Article or elsewhere herein shall not be construed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession of the Property so long as Lender has not itself entered into actual possession of the Real Estate. The acceptance by Lender of the assignment of the Leases and Rents pursuant to this Article and the exercise of any rights hereunder shall not at any time or in any event obligate Lender to take any action under this Mortgage or to expend any money or to incur any expenses. Lender shall not be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any person or persons, firm or corporation in or about the Property other than those arising by reason of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Lender shall not (i) be obligated to perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any Lease (or otherwise have any obligation with respect to any Lease); (ii) be obligated to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to any Lease or the Property; (iii) be responsible for the operation, control, care, management or repair of all or any portion of the Property; (iv) be responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by any Tenant or Person, (v) be responsible for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, (vi) be responsible for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any Tenant, licensee, employee, invitee or other Person, (vii) be responsible for or impose upon Lender any duty to produce Rents or profits, or (viii) be required to exercise any of the rights, remedies or powers granted to Lender under this Mortgage. The execution of this Mortgage by Borrower shall constitute conclusive evidence that all responsibility for the operation, control, care, management and repair of the Property is and shall be that of Borrower.

(c)     If Lender enters the Property, Lender shall be liable to account only to Borrower and only for those Rents actually received. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower, anyone claiming under or through Borrower or anyone having an interest in the Property, by reason of any act or omission of Lender under this Section, and Borrower hereby releases and discharges Lender from any such liability to the fullest extent permitted by law.


 


(d)     Any entering upon and taking of control of the Property by Lender or the receiver, as the case may be, and any application of Rents as provided in this Instrument shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Lender under applicable law or provided for in this Instrument.

Upon any such purchase, Lender shall acquire good title to the Property so purchased, free from the Lien of this Mortgage and free of all rights of redemption, if any, in Borrower.


 


Section 13.3     Effect of Sale.


 


Any sale or sales of the Property, whether under the Power of Sale herein granted and conferred or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim, and demand whatsoever either at law or in equity, of Borrower of, in, and to the Property and the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Borrower, Borrower's successors, and against any and all persons claiming or who shall thereafter claim all or any of the Property sold from, through or under Borrower, or Borrower's successors or assigns. Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by Lender under or by virtue of this Article, Lender, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient interest in and to the property and rights sold. Lender is hereby appointed the true and lawful irrevocable attorney of Borrower, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Property and rights so sold and for that purpose Lender may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more Persons with like power, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof.

Section 13.4     Separate Sales. 


 


Any Property sold pursuant to any judgment or writ of execution issued on a judgment obtained by virtue of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, or pursuant to any other judicial proceedings under this Mortgage, or pursuant to the Power of Sale granted in this Mortgage, 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.


 


Section 13.5     Remedies Cumulative and Not Concurrent.


 


The rights and remedies of Lender as provided in this Mortgage and in the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued concurrently, separately or successively against Borrower or any Guarantor or against other obligors, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor 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 and in any order. Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests in the Property held by Lender or by any other party, Lender shall have the right to determine, in its sole discretion, the order in which any or all of the Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Mortgage, the Note, any other Loan Document or applicable Law. Lender shall have the right to determine, in its sole discretion, the order in which any or all portions of the Secured Obligations are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of such remedies. Lender shall not, by any act, delay, forbearance, stay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies under this Mortgage, any Loan Document or any Law. A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy under this Mortgage, any Loan Document or any Law on any one occasion, shall not (a) be construed as a bar or waiver to the exercise of any such right or remedy by Lender at any time in the future, (b) preclude the exercise of such right or remedy at a later date or (c) preclude the exercise of any of any other right or remedy available to Lender under this Mortgage, any Loan Document or Law; nor shall Lender be liable for exercising or failing to exercise any such right or remedy. Lender’s acceptance of payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not (x) be a waiver of Lender's right to require timely payment of all amounts due under this Mortgage, the Note or any other Loan Document, (y) preclude any right of Lender to insist upon and require full payment at a later date or (z) preclude Lender’s exercise of any remedies available to Lender. Enforcement by Lender of any (i) security for the Secured Obligations, (ii) any Guaranty or (iii) any other remedy(ies) available to Lender under any Loan Document, shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right(s) available to Lender. Any failure by Lender to insist upon strict performance by Borrower, any Guarantor or any Indemnitor of any of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of this Mortgage or such other Loan Document and Lender shall have the right thereafter to insist upon strict performance of any and all of them. Lender's receipt of any of Casualty Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds or Condemnation Award(s) shall not operate to cure or waive any Event of Default.


 





Page 57










 








 


Section 13.6     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, 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 Secured 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 Event of Default or nullify the effect of any notice of any Event of Default or sale (unless all Secured Obligations and obligations which are then due have been paid and performed and Borrower has cured all other Defaults), 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.


 


Section 13.7     Proceeds.


 


If any of the Property is sold by Lender upon credit or for future delivery, Lender shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, Lender may resell such Property. In no event shall Borrower be credited with any part of the proceeds of sale of any Property until and to the extent cash payment in respect thereof has actually been received by Lender. To the extent any of the Secured Obligations are contingent, cash proceeds received by Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Property may, in the discretion of Lender, be held by Lender as collateral for such contingent Secured Obligations. Any cash held by Lender as collateral and all cash proceeds received by Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Property may, in the discretion of Lender, be applied, first, to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with or incident to the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any and all of the Property, second, to pay all reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses incurred by Lender in connection with or incident to the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any and all of the Property, third, to pay all matured and unpaid Secured Obligations, in whole or in part by Lender against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as Lender shall elect, fourth, if and to the extent any of the Secured Obligations are unmatured or contingent, to provide cash collateral for all such Secured Obligations, and fifth, in accordance with applicable Law. If the proceeds of the sale of the Property or other collateral, if any, for the Loan are insufficient to pay all of the Secured Obligations, Borrower agrees to pay upon demand any deficiency to Lender, except to the extent, if any, that Borrower’s obligation to make payment therefor may be limited under the terms of the Note.


 


Section 13.8     Waivers.


 


To the extent permitted by Law, Borrower waives: (1) the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding in which Lender is a party, (2) the benefit of all Laws now or hereafter in force regarding appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption, (3) all rights of marshalling of assets in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein, (4) any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage on behalf of Lender, and on behalf of each and every Person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of this Mortgage and on behalf of all Persons, (5) any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Mortgage and/or the Loan Documents specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Lender is required by applicable Law to give notice, (6) the pleading, assertion or the defense of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Secured Obligations or performance of any other obligations under any Loan Document, (7) any defense Borrower might assert or have by reason of Lender’s failure to make any Tenant a party defendant in any foreclosure proceeding or action in which Lender is a party and (8) any claim or right to require that any of the Property be sold in the inverse order of alienation or that any of the Property be sold in parcels or as an entirety.


 





Page 58










 








 


Section 13.9     Borrower’s Use and Occupancy after Default.


 


During the continuance of any Event of Default and pending the exercise by Lender of its right to exclude Borrower from all or any part of the Property, Borrower agrees to pay then current market rents for the use and occupancy of the Property or any portion thereof which are in its or any of its Affiliates’ possession for such period and, upon default of any such payment, will vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to a receiver, if any, and in default thereof may be evicted by any summary action or proceeding for the recovery of possession of Property for non-payment of rent, however designated.


 


Section 13.10     Transfer Taxes.


 


Any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower hereby agrees to pay any and all State and local real property and other transfer taxes payable in connection with a sale or other conveyance of the Property arising or resulting from Lender's exercise of any right or remedy available to it. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney to act in Borrower's name and stead in completing any and all returns, questionnaires, notices of sale or other documents which may be required in connection with any such transfer or the payment of any such transfer tax or other tax.


 


Section 13.11     Late Charge.


 


If any monthly payment due hereunder or under the Note (other than the final payment due upon the Maturity Date) is not received by Lender on or before the 15th day of each month or if any other amount payable under the Note, this Mortgage any other Loan Document is not received by Lender within 14 days after the date such amount is due, the Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately and without demand by Lender, a late charge equal to five percent (5.00%) of such monthly installment or other amount due, however, (i) in the event of acceleration of payment of the entire principal balance and accrued interest, or (ii) after the Maturity Date, no additional late charge will be assessed provided, further, that those late charges which had previously been assessed shall continue to be due and payable. Borrower acknowledges that its failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional expenses. Borrower agrees that the late charge payable pursuant to this Section represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the additional expenses Lender will incur by reason of such late payment. The late charge is payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any interest payable at the Default Rate.


 





Page 59










 








 


Section 13.12     Default Rate.


 


At the option of Lender in its sole discretion, interest due and payable hereunder and on the Loan shall convert to, accrue at and be charged at the Default Rate upon the occurrence of any of the following:


 


(a)      any Event of Default which continues beyond any applicable notice and cure period;


 


(b)     failure to pay the unpaid principal balance, all accrued interest and all other charges due under the Note, this Mortgage and any other Loan Document on the Maturity Date; or


 


(c)     the acceleration of the Secured Obligations.

Article 15 - Miscellaneous


 


Section 15.1     Borrower Remains Liable.

Section 15.2     Appointment of Lender Attorney-in-Fact.

Section 15.11     Severability.


 


In the event any one or more of the provisions contained herein or in the Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof but this Mortgage shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein, provided however, that if such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable relates to the payment of any sum under the Note or any other material monetary sum, then Lender may, at its option, declare the Secured Obligations and any other sums secured hereby to be immediately due and payable.

B.     NOTICE AND CURE 


 


Notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein to the contrary, the Lender shall provide Borrower written notice of any default herein. If Borrower is in default in the payment to Lender of any sum or amount of money which may fall due or be payable from time to time under the term of the mortgage hereunder (“a monetary default”), Borrower shall have a period of ten (10) days after Lender’s giving of such notice within which time such default must be cured. If Borrower is in default, other than a monetary default, Borrower shall have a period of thirty (30) days after Lender’s giving of such notice within which time such default must be cured. However, in the event such default cannot, in the sole determination of Lender, be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and provided Borrower has immediately commenced to take all action necessary to cure said default and continues to proceed diligently, without interruption and in good faith, to cure such default, the Lender may in its sole discretion grant Borrower an additional thirty (30) day period within which time all actions required as set forth in Lender’s notice of default under this paragraph shall be completed. Any such default not cured within said thirty (30) day period shall be subject to all of the other terms and provisions contained in this Agreement. It is further agreed that no such notice or grace period provided in this paragraph shall apply in the case of any such failure which could, in Lender's judgment, absent immediate exercise by Lender of a right or remedy under this Mortgage, result in harm to Lender, impairment of the Note or this Mortgage or any other security given under any other Loan Document.
