Nothing contained in the preceding sentence shall be construed to bind Mortgagee to the performance of any of the provisions of any such Space Lease, contract, bond, lease or other documents or otherwise impose any obligation upon Mortgagee, except that Mortgagee shall be accountable for any money actually received pursuant to such assignment to the extent of its disposition thereof in a manner inconsistent with this Shore Mortgage or the Transaction Documents.

The assignment of said Space Leases, Rents, income profits, proceeds and cash collateral, and any of the aforesaid rights with respect thereto and to the contracts, bonds, leases and other documents evidencing the same, is intended to be and is an absolute present assignment from the Company to Mortgagee and not merely the passing of a security interest.


 











ATL /1012919. 2

(c) In the event of any such Event of Default which has not been so waived, the right and license set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Section shall be automatically revoked, and, thereafter, Mortgagee shall have the right and authority to exercise any of the rights or remedies referred to or set forth herein.  In addition, upon such an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly pay to Mortgagee (a) all rent prepayments and security or other deposits paid to the Company pursuant to any Space Leases and (ii) all charges for services or facilities or for escalations which were paid pursuant to any Space Leases to the extent allocable to any period from and after such Event of Default and any such sums received by Mortgagee shall be applied by Mortgagee in accordance with Section 2.4(b)(i) of the Loan Agreement.


 


(d) If the Company is not required to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property hereunder in the event of any such Event of Default which has not been so waived, the Company will pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect same, the income, profits or proceeds received by the Company under any of the Space Leases.


 


(e) The Company will upon Mortgagee’s request execute, acknowledge and deliver to Mortgagee, in form approved by Mortgagee, one or more general or specific assignments of the lessor’s interest under any Space Lease (which are consistent with the foregoing provisions).  The Company will, on demand, pay to Mortgagee, or reimburse Mortgagee for the payment of, all reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation or recording of any such assignment.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES


 


Section 5.1                       Events of Default.  Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder:


 


(a) the occurrence of an “Event of Default” as defined in Article 8 of the Loan Agreement; or


 


(b) the failure of the Company to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed in this Shore Mortgage (other than an occurrence which may sooner constitute an “Event of Default” under the Loan Agreement) including, without limitation, the covenants contained in Article I herein for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, given to the Company by Mortgagee, unless Mortgagee agrees in writing to an extension of such time prior to its expiration.


 


Section 5.2                       Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all Secured Obligations, at the option of Mortgagee, shall be accelerated and become immediately due and payable upon notice to the Company.  The outstanding principal amount and the interest accrued thereon of the Secured Obligations shall be due and payable without presentment, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company.  The Company will pay to Mortgagee the entire Secured Obligations or portions thereof, as applicable, and to the extent permitted by law, the premiums and penalties, if any, provided in this Shore Mortgage and each other Transaction Document, as applicable, and such payment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4(b)(i) of the Loan Agreement.


 


In the event of any Event of Default, whether or not an acceleration shall occur, Mortgagee shall have the right to proceed to protect and enforce its rights by one or more of the following remedies:


 


(a) MORTGAGEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING SUIT either for damages, specific performance of any agreement contained in any Transaction Document, or for the foreclosure of this Shore Mortgage, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy.


 


(b) MORTGAGEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN A RECEIVER at any time after an Event of Default, whether or not an action for foreclosure has been commenced. Any court having jurisdiction shall at the request of Mortgagee following an Event of Default appoint a receiver to take immediate possession of the Mortgaged Property and to rent or operate the same as he may deem best for the interest of all parties concerned, and such receiver shall be liable to account to the Company only for the net profits, after application of rents, issues and profits upon the costs and expenses of the receivership and upon the Secured Obligations.


 











ATL /1012919. 2


 









  





  











  













 


(c) MORTGAGEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, TO ADVANCE MONEY TO THE RECEIVER to pay any part or all of the items which the receiver should otherwise pay if cash were available from the Mortgaged Property and sums so advanced, with interest (“Additional Interest”) at the per annum rate equal to the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) (the “Additional Interest Rate”), shall be secured hereby, or if advanced during the period of redemption shall be a part of the sum required to be paid to redeem from the sale.


 


(d) MORTGAGEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO COLLECT THE RENTS from the Mortgaged Property and apply the same in the manner hereinbefore provided with respect to a receiver.  For that purpose, Mortgagee may enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and manage and operate the same and take any action which, in Mortgagee’s judgment, is necessary or proper to collect the Rents and to conserve the value of the Mortgaged Property.  Mortgagee may also take possession of, and for these purposes use, any and all of the Security Interests Property.  The expense (including any receiver’s fees, attorneys’ fees, costs and agent’s compensation) incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured by this Shore Mortgage.  Mortgagee shall not be liable to account to the Company for any action taken pursuant hereto other than to account for any Rents actually received by Mortgagee.  Enforcement hereof shall not cause Mortgagee to be deemed a trustee in possession unless Mortgagee elects in writing to be a trustee in possession.


 


(e) MORTGAGEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENTER AND TAKE POSSESSION of the Mortgaged Property and manage and operate the same in conformity with all applicable laws and take any action which, in Mortgagee’s judgment, is necessary or proper to conserve the value of the Mortgaged Property.


 


(f) MORTGAGEE SHALL HAVE ALL OF THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED IN THE IOWA UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE, Iowa Code Chapter 554, including the right to proceed under the Iowa Uniform Commercial Code provisions governing default as to any Security Interests Property separately from the real estate included within the Mortgaged Property, or to proceed as to all of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with its rights and remedies in respect of said real estate.  If Mortgagee should elect to proceed separately as to such Security Interests Property, the Company agrees to make such Security Interests Property available to Mortgagee at a place or places acceptable to Mortgagee, and if any notification of intended disposition of any of such Security Interests Property is required by law, such notification shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if given at least ten (10) days before such disposition in the manner hereinafter provided.


 











ATL /1012919. 2


 









  





  











  













MORTGAGEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO FILE PROOF OF CLAIM and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceedings affecting the Company, its creditors or its property, for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under the Secured Obligations, this Shore Mortgage and any other instrument securing the Secured Obligations, at the date of the institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable by the Company after such date.


 


Each remedy herein specifically given shall be in addition to every other right now or hereafter given or existing at law or in equity, and each and every right may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one right shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right.  Mortgagee shall have all rights and remedies available under the law in effect now and/or at the time such rights and remedies are sought to be enforced, whether or not they are available under the law in effect on the date hereof.


 


Section 5.3                       Expenses of Exercising Rights, Powers and Remedies.

Section 5.4                       Restoration of Position.  In case Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Shore Mortgage by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then, and in every such case, the Company and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Mortgaged Property subject to the lien hereof.


 


Section 5.5                       Marshalling.  The Company, for itself and on behalf of all persons, parties and entities which may claim under the Company, hereby waives all requirements of law relating to the marshalling of assets, if any, which would be applicable in connection with the enforcement by Mortgagee of its remedies for an Event of Default hereunder, absent this waiver.  Mortgagee shall not be required to sell or realize upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property before selling or realizing  upon any other portion thereof.


 


Section 5.6                       Waivers.  No waiver of any provision hereof shall be implied from the conduct of the parties.  Any such waiver must be in writing and must be signed by the party against which such waiver is sought to be enforced.  The waiver or release of any breach of the provisions set forth herein to be kept and performed shall not be a waiver or release of any preceding or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.  No receipt of partial payment after acceleration of any of the Secured Obligations shall waive the acceleration.  No payment by the Company or receipt by Mortgagee of a lesser amount than the full amount secured hereby shall be deemed to be other than on account of the sums due and payable hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Mortgagee may accept any check or payment without prejudice to Mortgagee’s right to recover the balance of such sums or to pursue any other remedy provided in this Shore Mortgage.  The consent by Mortgagee to any matter or event requiring such consent shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent matter or event.


 











ATL /1012919. 2


 









  





  











  













 


Section 5.7                       Mortgagee’s Right to Cure Defaults.  If the Company shall fail to comply with any of the terms hereof with respect to the procuring of insurance, the payment of taxes, assessments and other charges, the keeping of the Mortgaged Property in repair, the payment and satisfaction of Liens and encumbrances against the Mortgaged Property, the payment or performance of the Leases, the payment of any other sum or deposit required under this Shore Mortgage, or any other term herein contained, Mortgagee may make advances or take other actions to perform the same without releasing the Company from any Secured Obligations and may enter upon the Mortgaged Property for any such purpose and take all such action thereon as Mortgagee or any of its duly appointed agents may deem necessary or appropriate therefor.  The Company agrees to repay upon demand all sums so advanced and all sums expended by Mortgagee in connection with such performance, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, with Additional Interest at the Additional Interest Rate from the dates such advances are made, and all sums so advanced and/or expenses incurred, with Additional Interest at the Additional Interest Rate, shall be secured hereby as Secured Obligations, but no such advance and/or incurring of expense by Mortgagee, shall be deemed to relieve the Company from any default hereunder, or to release the Company from any Secured Obligations.  Mortgagee shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any Imposition or Lien which the Company fails to pay as and when required by this Shore Mortgage and which the Company does not contest in strict accordance with the terms of this Shore Mortgage and the other Transaction Documents.


 


Section 5.8                       Suits and Proceedings.  Mortgagee shall have the power and authority, upon prior notice to the Company to institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as Mortgagee may deem advisable to (i) prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any acts which may be unlawful or any violation of this Shore Mortgage, (ii) preserve or protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property, or (iii) restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if, in the Permitted Discretion (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of Mortgagee, the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order might impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to Mortgagee’s interest.


 


Section 5.9                       Waiver of Redemption Rights; Alternative Foreclosure Procedures.  It is agreed that if this Shore Mortgage covers any parcel of less than ten (10) acres of land, and in the event of the foreclosure of this Shore Mortgage and sale of the property by sheriff’s sale in such foreclosure proceedings, the time of one (1) year for redemption from said sale provided by the statutes of the State of Iowa with respect to such parcel shall be reduced to six (6) months provided Mortgagee in such action files an election to waive any deficiency judgment against the Company which may arise out of the foreclosure proceedings; all to be consistent with the provisions of Chapter 628 of the Iowa Code. 

 




 











ATL /1012919. 2


 









  





  











  













It is further agreed that the period of redemption after a foreclosure of this Shore Mortgage shall be reduced to sixty (60) days if all of the three following contingencies develop with respect to any parcel of real estate included in the Mortgaged Property: (1) the real estate is less than ten (10) acres in size; (2) the court finds affirmatively that the said real estate has been abandoned by the owners and those persons personally liable under this Shore Mortgage at the time of such foreclosure; and (3) Mortgagee in such action files an election to waive any deficiency judgment against the Company or its successor in interest in such action. Entry of appearance by pleading or docket entry by or on behalf of the Company shall create a presumption that the property is not abandoned.  Any such redemption period shall be consistent with all of the provisions of Chapter 628 of the Code of Iowa.


 


This Section shall not be construed to limit or otherwise affect any other redemption provisions contained in Chapter 628 of the Iowa Code.  This Section also shall not be construed to limit Mortgagee’s right to elect foreclosure without redemption or to elect foreclosure by nonjudicial procedure as set forth in Chapters 654 and 655A of the Iowa Code.  The Company agrees that, in the event of a foreclosure of the Mortgage, under any provision of Iowa law, Mortgagee shall be entitled to sole possession and use of the Mortgaged Property during any redemption period.


 


Section 5.10                       Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds from the foreclosure, sale or lease or any recovery pursuant to Iowa Code Chapter 554 or hereunder shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Loan Agreement if such Secured Obligations have been deemed due and payable upon the Event of Default.  Any surplus of the proceeds shall be paid to the Company.


 


Section 5.11                       Personal Property.  Any limitation on recovery contained in this Shore Mortgage shall not be construed to extend to and shall not limit recovery under any other instrument or Loan Document that grants a security interest in personal property that is also conveyed or encumbered pursuant to this Shore Mortgage.
