and every part and parcel thereof unto Mortgagee.



     Mortgagor warrants that Mortgagor has a good and marketable title to an indefeasible fee
estate in the Mortgaged Property subject to no lien, charge or encumbrance except such as Mortgagee
has agreed to accept in writing and Mortgagor covenants that this Mortgage is and will remain a
valid and enforceable first mortgage on the Mortgaged Property subject only to the exceptions

in the manner and form herein done or intended to be done or intended hereafter to be done.
Mortgagor will preserve such title and will forever warrant and defend the same to Mortgagee and
will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien hereof against the claims of

acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages,
assignments, notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall from time to



2









 




time require in order to preserve the priority of the lien of this Mortgage or to facilitate
the performance of the terms hereof.




     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee and satisfy: (i) the indebtedness
in the principal sum of $35,000,000.00 as evidenced by that certain Renewal and Future Advance
Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note of even date herewith, or any renewal or replacement
thereof (the “Note”), executed by Mortgagor and payable to the order of Mortgagee, with interest
and upon the terms as provided therein; and (ii) all other sums advanced by Mortgagee to or on
behalf of Mortgagor pursuant to the Note or this Mortgage, which Note contains provisions for
payment of costs of collection including attorneys’ fees, in the Event of Default, as described
herein, waives presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest and notice of protest, and
consents to the extension from time to time of the time of payment without notice, and all of the
terms of which Note are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and of any
renewal, extension or modification, thereof and of this Mortgage, then this Mortgage and the estate
hereby created shall cease and terminate.



     Mortgagor further covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:



     1. To pay all sums, including interest secured hereby when due, as provided for in the Note
and any renewal, extension or modification thereof and in this Mortgage, all such sums to be
payable in lawful money of the United States of America at Mortgagee’s aforesaid office, or at such
other place as Mortgagee may designate in writing.



     2. To pay when due, and without requiring any notice from Mortgagee, all taxes, assessments of
any type or nature and other charges levied or assessed against the Mortgaged Property or this
Mortgage and produce receipts therefor upon demand. To immediately pay and discharge any claim,
lien or encumbrance against the Mortgaged Property which may be or become superior to this Mortgage
and to permit no Event of Default or delinquency on any other lien, encumbrance or charge against
the Mortgaged Property.



     3. If required by Mortgagee, to also make monthly deposits with Mortgagee, in a non-interest
bearing account, together with and in addition to interest and principal, of a sum equal to
one-twelfth of the yearly taxes and assessments which may be levied against the Mortgaged Property,
and (if so required) one-twelfth of the yearly premiums for insurance thereon. The amount of such
taxes, assessments and premiums, when unknown, shall be estimated by Mortgagee. Such deposits
shall be used by Mortgagee to pay such taxes, assessments and premiums when due. Any insufficiency
of such account to pay such charges when due shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee on demand.
If, by reason of any default by Mortgagor under any provision of this Mortgage, Mortgagee declares
all sums secured hereby to be due and payable, Mortgagee may then apply any funds in said account
against the entire indebtedness secured hereby. The enforceability of the covenants, relating to
taxes, assessments and insurance premiums herein otherwise provided shall not be affected except
insofar as those obligations have been met by compliance with this paragraph. Mortgagee may from
time to time at its option waive, and after any such waiver reinstate, any of all provisions hereof
requiring such deposits, by notice to Mortgagor in writing. While any such waiver is in effect,
Mortgagor shall pay taxes, assessments and insurance premiums as herein elsewhere provided.

     4. To promptly pay all taxes and assessments assessed or levied under and by virtue of any
state, federal, or municipal law or regulation hereafter passed, against Mortgagee upon this
Mortgage or the debt hereby secured, or upon its interest under this Mortgage, provided however,

interest payable on said indebtedness shall not exceed the highest lawful rate of interest in
Florida and provided further that in the event of the passage of any such law or regulation

companies approved by Mortgagee, and shall contain a standard mortgagee clause with loss payable to
Mortgagee. Whenever required by Mortgagee, such policies shall be delivered immediately to and
held by Mortgagee. Upon exercise of the power of sale given in this Mortgage or other acquisition

property of Mortgagee.



     6. To first obtain the written consent of Mortgagee, such consent not to be unreasonably

thereof.



     7. To maintain the Mortgaged Property in good condition and repair, including but not limited
to the making of such repairs as Mortgagee may from time to time determine to be necessary for the
preservation of the Mortgaged Property and to not commit or permit any material waste thereof, and
Mortgagee shall have the right to inspect the Mortgaged Property on reasonable notice to Mortgagor.



     8. To comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants, conditions and restrictions
affecting the Mortgaged Property, and not to suffer or permit any violation thereof.



     9. If Mortgagor fails to pay or discharge any claim, lien or encumbrance which is superior to
this Mortgage, or when due, any tax or assessment or insurance premium, or to keep the Mortgaged
Property in repair, or shall commit or permit material waste, or if there be commenced any action
or proceeding affecting the Mortgaged Property or the title thereto, or the interest of Mortgagee
therein, including, but not limited to, eminent domain and bankruptcy or



4









 




reorganization proceedings, then Mortgagee, at its option, may pay said claim, lien, encumbrance,
tax, assessment or premium, with right of subrogation thereunder, may make such repairs and take
such steps as it deems advisable to prevent or cure such material waste, and may appear in any such
action or proceeding and retain counsel therein, and take such action therein as Mortgagee deems
advisable, and for any of such purposes Mortgagee may advance such sums of money, including all
costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other items of expense as it deems necessary. Mortgagee
shall be the sole judge of the legality, validity and priority of any such claim, lien,
encumbrance, tax, assessment and premium and of the amount necessary to be paid in satisfaction
thereof. Mortgagee shall not be held accountable for any delay in making any such payment, which
delay may result in any additional interest, costs, charges, expenses or otherwise. All sums which
may be advanced by Mortgagee pursuant to this paragraph shall be secured by the lien of this
Mortgage and shall bear interest at the rate provided herein.




     10. Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee, immediately and without demand, all sums of money
advanced by Mortgagee to protect the security hereof pursuant to this Mortgage, including all
costs, reasonable attorney’s fees and other items of expense, together with interest on each such
advancement at the default rate of interest set forth in the Note, and all such sums and interest
thereon shall be secured hereby.



     11. If an Event of Default shall occur in payment of any installment of principal or interest
of the Note or any part thereof when due, subject to any applicable grace period, or in payment,
when due, or any other sum secured hereby, or in performance of any of Mortgagor’s obligations,
covenants or agreements hereunder, subject to any applicable grace period, all of the indebtedness
secured hereby shall become and be immediately due and payable at the option of Mortgagee, without
notice or demand which are hereby expressly waived, in which event Mortgagee may avail itself of
all rights and remedies, at law or in equity, and this Mortgage may be foreclosed with all rights
and remedies afforded by the laws of Florida and Mortgagor shall pay all costs, charges and
expenses thereof, including a reasonable attorney’s fee, including all such costs, expenses and
attorney’s fees for any retrial, rehearing or appeals. The indebtedness secured hereby shall bear
interest at the default rate set forth in the Note from and after the date of any such Event of
Default of Mortgagor. If the Note provides for installment payments, the Mortgagee may, at its
option, collect a late charge as may be provided for in the Note, to reimburse the Mortgagee for
expenses in collecting and servicing such installment payments.



     12. If an Event of Default shall occur in payment, when due, of any indebtedness secured
hereby, or in performance of any of Mortgagor’s obligations, covenants or agreement hereunder and
provided that no law is broken and subject to the right of the tenant under the Lease:



          (a) Mortgagee is authorized at any time, without notice, in its sole discretion to enter upon
and take possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, to perform any acts Mortgagee
deems necessary or proper to conserve the security and to collect and receive all rents, issues and
profits thereof, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter; and




          (b) Mortgagee 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 Mortgagor, or the
adequacy of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Note, to have a




5









 







receiver appointed to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, collect the rents
and profits therefrom and apply the same as the court may direct, such receiver to have all the
rights and powers permitted under the laws of Florida.




     In either such case, Mortgagee or the receiver may also take possession of, and for these
purposes use, any and all personal property which is a part of the Mortgaged Property and used by
Mortgagor in the rental or leasing thereof or any part thereof. The expense (including receiver’s
fees, counsel fees, costs and agent’s compensation) incurred pursuant to the powers herein
contained shall be secured hereby. Mortgagee shall (after payment of all costs and expenses
incurred) apply such rents, issues and profits received by it on the indebtedness secured hereby in
such order as Mortgagee determines. The right to enter and take possession of the Mortgaged
Property, to manage and operate the same, and to collect the rents, issues and profits thereof,
whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy hereunder or
afforded by law, and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. Mortgagee
shall be liable to account only for such rents, issues and profits actually received by Mortgagee.



     13. If the indebtedness secured hereby is now or hereafter further secured by chattel
mortgages, security interests, financing statements, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments of
leases, or other securities, or if the Mortgaged Property hereby encumbered consists of more than
one parcel of real property, Mortgagee may at its option exhaust any one or more of said securities
and security hereunder, or such parcels of the security hereunder, either concurrently or
independently, and in such order as it-may determine.



     14. This Mortgage shall secure not only existing indebtedness, but also such future advances,
whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of Mortgagee, or otherwise, as are
made within twenty (20) years from the date hereof, to the same extent as if such future advances
were made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage, but such secured indebtedness shall not
exceed at any time the maximum principal amount of two times the amount of the Note, plus interest,
and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes, levies or insurance, on the Mortgaged
Property, with interest on such disbursements. Any such future advances, whether obligatory or to
be made at the option of the Mortgagee, or otherwise, may be made either prior to or after the due
date of the Note or any other notes secured by this Mortgage. This Mortgage is given for the
specific purpose of securing any and all indebtedness by the Mortgagor to Mortgagee (but in no
event shall the secured indebtedness exceed at any time the maximum principal amount set forth in
this paragraph) in whatever manner this indebtedness may be evidenced or represented, until this
Mortgage is satisfied of record. All covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage shall be
applicable to all further advances made by Mortgagee to Mortgagor under this future advance clause.



     15. No delay by Mortgagee in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded
by law, shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude the exercise thereof during the continuance
of any Event of Default hereunder. No waiver by Mortgagee of any Event of Default shall constitute
a waiver of or consent to subsequent Events of Defaults. No failure of Mortgagee to exercise any
option herein given to accelerate maturity of the debt hereby secured, no forbearance by Mortgagee
before or after the exercise of such option and no withdrawal or



6









 




abandonment of foreclosure proceedings by Mortgagee shall be taken or construed as a waiver of
its right to exercise such option or to accelerate the maturity of the debt hereby secured by
reason of any past, present or future Event of Default on the part of Mortgagor; and, in like
manner, the procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by Mortgagee
shall not be taken or construed as a waiver of its right to accelerate the maturity of the debt
hereby secured.




     16. Without affecting the liability of Mortgagor or any other person (except any person
expressly released in writing) for payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or for performance of
any obligation contained herein, and without affecting the rights of Mortgagee with respect to any
security not expressly released in writing, Mortgagee may, at any time and from time to time,
either before or after the maturity of said 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 obligation.




          (b) Make any agreement extending the time or otherwise altering the 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 Mortgagee may have.




          (d) Accept additional security of any kind.




          (e) Release or otherwise deal with any property, real or personal, securing the indebtedness,
including all or any part of the Mortgaged Property.




     17. Any agreement herewith made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage shall be
superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien or encumbrance.



     18. If the Mortgaged Property or any material part thereof is damaged or destroyed by fire, by
condemnation, or any other cause, Mortgagor will give immediate written notice of the same to
Mortgagee. In the event that any portion or portions of the Mortgaged Property are damaged or
destroyed by fire or by any other casualty or are taken through any condemnation proceeding, and
such damage, destruction or taking results in the need for repair, rebuilding, or restoration work
to be performed on the Mortgaged Property (such repair, rebuilding, or restoration is referred to
herein as the “Work”), Mortgagee shall allow Mortgagor to use the amount by which the proceeds of
all insurance policies or condemnation awards collected with respect to such damage or destruction
(except such amounts as are attributable to a loss of rents) exceed the cost, if any, to Mortgagee
for the recovery of such proceeds (said net amount is defined herein as the “Reconstruction
Funds”), to perform the Work, so long as the following conditions have been met:



7









 





          (a) No default exists hereunder, under the Note, or under the documents given as security for
the Note (the “Loan Documents”) which remains uncured after the expiration of any applicable grace
periods;




          (b) Mortgagor shall have delivered evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that the improvements
may be reconstructed in accordance with all applicable zoning and building codes, and all rules,
regulations, and ordinances of all applicable governmental authorities and that, upon completion of
the Work, the condition of the improvements will be at least equal in value and general utility to
that which existed immediately prior to such casualty or condemnation;




          (c) Mortgagor shall have delivered evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that sufficient funds,
including the Reconstruction Funds, are available to perform the Work and that the Work is capable
of completion prior to the then effective maturity date of the Note;




          (d) Mortgagor shall have delivered evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that business
interruption or income insurance proceeds payable to Mortgagor as a result of the damage or
destruction or income from the Mortgaged Property, or that sources other than the Reconstruction
Funds are sufficient to cover payments of debt service, costs, and expenses on the Note during the
period the Work is to be performed; and




          (e) Mortgagee shall be satisfied that it will not incur any liability to Mortgagor as a result
of such use or release of insurance proceeds.




          In the event that the conditions set forth above are satisfied, Mortgagee shall make the
Reconstruction Funds available to Mortgagor for the Work only under the following procedures,
terms, and conditions:




          (a) Mortgagor shall execute and deliver to Mortgagee a copy of a contract with a licensed
contractor acceptable to Mortgagee setting forth a fixed price for the Work and a completion date
acceptable to Mortgagee.




          (b) Mortgagor shall demonstrate to Mortgagee that the Reconstruction Funds are at least equal
to the fixed price of the Work as set forth in said contract or shall deposit with Mortgagee funds
in the amount by which such fixed price exceeds the Reconstruction Funds;




          (c) The Work shall be supervised by an architect or engineer and performed in accordance with
plans and specifications prepared by such architect or engineer and approved by Mortgagee.




          (d) The Reconstruction Funds, plus any additional funds deposited by Mortgagor, shall be
received and held by Mortgagee and disbursed in accordance with terms and conditions used by Bank
in connection with the Mortgagee’s customary practice in disbursing construction loan proceeds, and
Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee for costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
disbursements;




8









 








          (e) Upon completion of and final payment for the Work, any remaining Reconstruction Funds
shall, at the option of Mortgagee, be applied to the Note in such order as Mortgagee shall elect or
paid over to Mortgagor; provided, however, that in either event any remaining additional funds
deposited by Mortgagor for excess costs shall be refunded to Mortgagor; and




          (f) Mortgagor shall otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this Mortgage and the
Loan Documents.




     In the event any one or more of the conditions set forth above are not satisfied, Mortgagee
may elect, in its sole discretion, to apply the Reconstruction Funds against the balance of the
Note, whether or not due, in such manner as Mortgagee shall elect.



     If a default shall occur hereunder which is not cured within any applicable cure period, or if
Mortgagor shall fail diligently to pursue and complete the Work, Mortgagee may, in its sole
discretion, apply any undisbursed Reconstruction Funds against the balance due under the Note,
whether or not due, in such manner as Mortgagor shall elect. Any Reconstruction Funds applied to
reduce the principal balance on the Note shall not be considered a prepayment entitling Mortgagee
to prepayment compensation.



     19. In the event of any condemnation proceedings related to any of the Mortgaged Property,
Mortgagee shall be under no obligation to question the amount of any such award or compensation and
may accept the sale in the amount in which the same shall be paid. In any such condemnation
proceedings, Mortgagee may be represented by counsel selected by Mortgagee.



     20. Mortgagor represents and warrants that if a corporation, it is duly organized and validly
existing, in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation, has stock outstanding
which has been duly and validly issued, and is qualified to do business and is in good standing in
the State of Florida, with full power and authority to consummate the loan contemplated hereby;
and, if a partnership, it is formed and validly existing, and is fully qualified to do business in
the State of Florida; with full power and authority to consummate the loan contemplated hereby.



     21. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage 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, at the option of the Mortgagee, not affect any
other provisions of this Mortgage, but this Mortgage shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein. The total interest payable
pursuant to the Note or this Mortgage shall not in any one year exceed the highest lawful rate of
interest provided by law.



     22. The covenants and agreements herein contained shall bind and the benefits and advantages
shall inure to the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto. Wherever used, the
singular number shall include the plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any



9









 




gender shall be applicable to all genders. All covenants, agreements and undertakings shall
be joint and several.




     23. The loan represented by this Mortgage and the Note is personal to the Mortgagor and the
Mortgagee made the loan to the Mortgagor based upon the credit of the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee’s
judgment of the ability of the Mortgagor to repay all sums due under this Mortgage, and therefore
this Mortgage may not be assumed by any subsequent holder of an interest in the Mortgaged Property.
If all or any part of the Property or any legal or equitable interest therein is sold, transferred
or conveyed other than leases in normal course of business, by Mortgagor without the Mortgagee’s
prior written consent, all sums secured by this Mortgage shall be immediately due and payable and
Mortgagee may exercise all of the rights and remedies provided in this Mortgage and the Note
secured hereby. The sale, transfer or conveyance of any part of the Property or any legal or
equitable interest therein shall be conclusively and irrefutably presumed to jeopardize the
security and collateral of Mortgagee and as consideration for the making of the loan secured by
this Mortgage, Mortgagor agrees that in any court proceeding brought to enforce the provisions of
this paragraph Mortgagor shall waive any legal or equitable defenses that would preclude
enforcement of this paragraph, including but without limitation, that the transfer of the Property
has not resulted in an impairment to Mortgagee’s security or that this paragraph constitutes an
unreasonable restraint or alienation.



     24. The Mortgagor agrees to have no second mortgage or secondary or supplementary financing
and no other lien, charge, or security interest upon or affecting any of the Mortgaged Property
(real or personal, tangible or intangible) in which Mortgagee has a security interest.



     25. It is agreed that if any of the Property herein mortgaged is of a nature so that a
security interest therein can be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code, this instrument shall
constitute a Security Agreement and Mortgagor agrees to join with the Mortgagee in the execution of
any financing statements and to execute any other instruments that may be required for the
perfection or renewal of such security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code.



     26. Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee, and Mortgagee specifically relies on such
representations and warranties as follows:



          (a) Environmental condition of Property; Indemnification. Mortgagor warrants and represents
to the best of its knowledge to Mortgagee after appropriate inquiry and investigation that: i)
while the Mortgagee has any interest in or lien on the Property, the Property described herein is
and at all times hereafter will continue to be in compliance, in all material respects, with all
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including but not limited to, the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), Public Law
No. 96-510, 94 Stat. 2767, 42 USC 9601 et sea, and the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), Public Law No. 99-499, 100 Stat. 1613, and ii) (1) as of the
date hereof there are no hazardous materials, substances, wastes or other environmentally regulated
substances (including without limitation, any materials containing asbestos) located on, in or
under the Property or used in connection therewith, or (2) Mortgagor has fully disclosed to
Mortgagee in writing, in the Material Disclosure Safety Sheets previously provided to Mortgagee,
the existence, extent and nature of any such hazardous




10









 







materials, substances, wastes or other environmentally regulated substances, which Mortgagor
is legally authorized and empowered to maintain on, in or under the Property or use in connection
therewith, and Mortgagor has obtained and will maintain all licenses, permits and approvals
required with respect thereto, and is in full compliance with all of the terms, conditions and
requirements of such licenses, permits and approvals. Mortgagor further warrants and represents
that it will promptly notify Mortgagee of any change in the nature or extent of any hazardous
materials, substances or wastes maintained on, in or under the Property or used in connection
therewith, and will transmit to Mortgagee copies of any citations, orders, notices or other
material governmental or other communication received with respect to any other hazardous
materials, substances, wastes or other environmentally regulated substances affecting the Property.




          Mortgagor shall indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from and against any and all damages,
penalties, fines, claims, liens, suits, liabilities, costs (including clean-up costs), judgments
and expenses (including attorneys’, consultants’ or experts’ fees and expenses) of every kind and
nature suffered by or asserted against Mortgagee as a direct or indirect result of any warranty or
representation made by Mortgagor in the preceding paragraph being false or untrue in any material
respect or any requirement under any law, regulation or ordinance, local, state or federal, which
requires the elimination or removal of any hazardous materials, substances, wastes or other
environmentally regulated substances.




          Mortgagor’s obligations hereunder shall not be limited to any extent by the term of the Note
secured hereby, and, as to any act or occurrence prior to payment in full and satisfaction of said
Note which gives rise to liability hereunder, shall continue, survive and remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding payment in full and satisfaction of said Note and this Mortgage or
foreclosure under this Mortgage, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.




          (b) Mortgagor has duly executed and delivered this Mortgage and each other document required
to be delivered by it pursuant hereto and this Mortgage and each such other document constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of Mortgagor enforceable in accordance with its terms.




          (c) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to its knowledge,
threatened against or affecting Mortgagor at law or in equity or before or by any governmental
department, commission, board or agency which might have any materially adverse effect on its
ability to carry on its operations as presently conducted or to perform its obligations under this
Mortgage, any of the other documents required to be delivered hereunder, any Agreement to which it
is a party or by which it is bound.




          (d) Mortgagor is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any corporate
restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, award, rule or regulation which
materially and adversely affects or in the future may materially and adversely affect its business,
operations, prospects, properties or assets or condition, financial or otherwise, or its ability to
perform its obligations under this Mortgage or any other document required to be delivered in
connection herewith or any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound.




11









 








          (e) No consent, waiver or authorization of or filing with any person is required to be
obtained or made by it in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Mortgage
or any other document required to be delivered in connection herewith. Neither the execution nor
the delivery of this Mortgage or such documents nor the consummation of the transactions herein and
therein contemplated nor compliance with the terms, conditions and provisions hereof and thereof
will conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute an Event of Default under any of the
terms, conditions or provisions of its charter documents or bylaws or of any agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or result in the creation or imposition
of any mortgage lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon its undertaking, property
or assets.




          (f) No representation or warranty made by Mortgagor in this Mortgage or any other document
furnished to the Mortgagee from time to time in connection herewith contains or will contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements herein or therein in light of the circumstances under which they are made not
misleading. Except as previously disclosed in writing to the Mortgagee, there is no fact known to
Mortgagor on the date of this Mortgage which materially adversely affects or which has any
reasonable likelihood of materially adversely affecting the ability of Mortgagor to carry on its
obligations as presently conducted or to perform its obligations under this Mortgage or any
documents required to be delivered by it hereunder.




     27. In this Mortgage, an Event of Default means:



          (a) If Mortgagor fails to pay when due after any applicable grace period any amount of
principal or interest due hereunder or under the Note.




          (b) If Mortgagor fails to pay when due after any applicable grace period any other amount
payable under the Note or Mortgage.




          (c) If any Event of Default occurs under the Note or the Mortgage.




12









 








     28. In addition to and without limiting any other rights or remedies of the Mortgagee under
the Note and the Mortgage, the Mortgagee may, from time to time, when an Event of Default has
occurred or an event has occurred and is continued which after notice or lapse of time or both
would become an Event of Default, refuse to grant any further advances or accommodation to
Mortgagor under the indebtedness. Any Event of Default under this Mortgage shall constitute an
Event of Default under the Note and this Mortgage, and entitle Mortgagee to immediately enforce all
rights and remedies thereunder. Upon the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default, all
indebtedness of Mortgagor shall at the option of the Mortgagee immediately become due and payable
without presentation, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly
waived; all collateral and securities shall become enforceable by the Mortgagee or its duly
authorized agent; and the Mortgagee may appropriate any monies received by it from any person in or
towards payment of such of the respective indebtedness and liability of Mortgagor to the Mortgagee
as the Mortgagee may see fit and no Mortgagor shall have any right to require any inconsistent
appropriation. The rights and remedies of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage and the Note, and in
connection herewith and therewith are cumulative, may be exercised as often as the Mortgagee
considers appropriate and are in addition to its rights and remedies under the general law.



     29. This Mortgage shall inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee and its successors and assigns
but, except as specifically provided herein, neither this Mortgage nor the benefit hereof may be
assigned by Mortgagor. The rights of the Mortgagee under or in respect of this Mortgage may be
assigned by the Mortgagee from time to time in whole or in part to one or more persons with notice
to Mortgagor but without the consent of, Mortgagor or any other person.



     30. All agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by or on behalf of
Mortgagor herein and in the Note, and in any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are
material, shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Mortgagee notwithstanding any
investigation made at any time by or on behalf of the Mortgagee and shall survive execution and
delivery of this Mortgage and the granting of accommodation hereunder and shall expire when the
indebtedness and all amounts outstanding under this Mortgage have been repaid in full.



     31. Mortgagor will do, execute and deliver, or will cause to be done, executed and delivered
all such further acts, documents (including certificates, declarations, affidavits, reports and
opinions) and things as the Mortgagee may reasonably request for the purpose of giving effect to
this Mortgage or for the purpose of establishing compliance with the representations, warranties
and conditions of this Mortgage.



     32. The taking of a judgment or judgments for any other action or dealing whatsoever by the
Mortgagee in respect of any security given by any person or entity to the Mortgagee shall not
operate as a merger of any indebtedness or any liability of the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee or in
any way suspend payment or affect or prejudice the rights, remedies and powers legal or equitable
which the Mortgagee may have in connection with such indebtedness or liability or the foreclosure,
surrender, cancellation or any other dealing with any security for such indebtedness or liability
shall not release or affect the liability of the Mortgagor or any security held by the Mortgagee.



13









 





     33. The Mortgagor hereby affirms, warrants and represents that all of the warranties and
representations made in the above described Note and this Mortgage, and in any other documents or
instruments executed with respect thereto directly or indirectly, are true and correct as of the
date hereto, and that Mortgagor is not aware of any Event of Default as to any of the foregoing,
and that Mortgagor has no defense or right of off set with respect to any indebtedness to
Mortgagee. Mortgagor jointly and severally hereby release Mortgagee from any cause of action
against it existing as of the date of execution hereof.



     34. A default in the terms and conditions of any obligations of the Mortgagor or any guarantor
to the Mortgagee of whatever nature or kind, including but not exclusive of this obligation, shall
constitute a default in the terms and conditions of the Note. Likewise, any default in the terms
and conditions of the Note shall be and constitute a default under the terms and conditions of any
other obligations owed by the Mortgagor or any guarantor to the Mortgagee. Upon such default any
of the Mortgagor’s checking and savings monies deposited with the Mortgagee shall be immediately
and irrevocably assigned to the Mortgagee to apply to the obligations in any manner the Mortgagee
deems necessary.



     35. Any notice shall be given by mailing such notice by certified mail, return receipt
