Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), Lender may, at its option and election and without notice to Borrower, do any one or more of the following:



5








Section 2.1.    Acceleration of Secured Obligations.  Lender may immediately declare all or any portion of the Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall be and shall become due and payable forthwith without presentment,  demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.


Section 2.2.    Entry and Possession. Lender may enter upon the Premises or any part thereof and take possession thereof, excluding therefrom  Borrower  and all  agents, employees, and representatives of Borrower; employ a manager of the Premises or any part thereof; hold, store, use, operate, manage, control, maintain, and lease the Premises or  any  part  thereof; conduct business thereon; make all necessary and appropriate repairs, renewals, and replacements; insure or keep the Premises insured; and carry out or enter into agreements of any kind with respect to the Premises.


Section 2.3.    Collection of Rents. Lender may collect and receive all Rents, and apply the same to the Secured Obligations, after deducting therefrom all costs, charges, and expenses of taking, holding, managing, and operating the Premises, including the reasonable fees and expenses of Lender's attorneys and agents actually incurred.


Section 2.4.    Payments.  Lender may pay any sum or sums deemed necessary or appropriate by Lender to protect the Premises or any part thereof or Lender's interest therein.


Section 2.5.    Other Remedies.  Lender may exercise all rights and remedies contained in any other instrument, document, agreement, or other writing now or hereafter evidencing or securing the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, or heretofore, concurrently herewith, or in the future executed by Borrower in favor of Lender in connection with any transaction resulting in the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit Documents.


Section 2.6.    Appointment of Receiver.    Lender may make application to any court and be entitled to the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the Premises or any part thereof without alleging or proving, or having any consideration given to, the insolvency of Borrower, the value of the Premises as security for the Secured Obligations, or any other matter usually incident to the appointment of a receiver.


Section 2.7.   UCC Remedies. With respect to the personal property and fixtures in which a security interest is herein granted, at Lender's option, Lender may exercise any or all of the rights accruing to a secured patty under this instrument, the Uniform Commercial Code (0.C.G.A.  §§  11-9-101  et  seq.),  and  any  other  applicable  law.    Borrower shall, if Lender requests, assemble all such personal property and make it available to Lender at a place or places, to be designated by Lender, which shall be reasonably convenient to  Borrower  and Lender. Any notice required to be given by Lender of a public or private sale, lease, or other disposition of the personal  property or any other intended action by Lender may be personally delivered to Borrower or may be deposited in the United States mail with postage prepaid duly addressed to Borrower at the address shown in the paragraph herein captioned "Notices," or at any other address theretofore designated by Borrower in writing to Lender, at least  five  (5) business days prior to such proposed action, and shall constitute reasonable and fair notice to Borrower of any such action.

Section 2.8.    Power  of  Sale.  Lender  may  sell the  Premises,  or  any  part,  parcel,  or portion  thereof  or  any interest  of Borrower  therein  separately,  at  Lender's  discretion,  with  or without  taking possession  thereof, at a public sale or public sales before the courthouse door of the county in which  the Premises or any part thereof are located, to the highest bidder for cash, after  first  giving  notice  of  the  time,  place,  and  terms  of  such  sale or sales  by  advertisement published  once a week for four weeks (without any regard  for the number of days between the date the first such notice  is published  and the date on which  any such sale commences) in the newspaper  in  which   advertisements  of  sheriff's  sales  are  published   in  such  county. Such advertisement so published  shall be notice to Borrower,  and Borrower hereby expressly waives all  other  notices. Lender  may  bid  and  purchase  at any  such  sale, and  Lender,  as agent  and attorney-in-fact  for Borrower and in Borrower's name, may execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers  at any such  sale a sufficient  conveyance  of the  Premises,  or the part  or parcel thereof or the interest  therein that  is sold.   Lender's  conveyance  may contain recitals  as to the occurrence  of any  Event  of  Default,  and  such  recitals  shall  be  presumptive  evidence  that  all preliminary  acts prerequisite to any such sale and conveyance were in all respects duly complied with. The recitals made by Lender shall be binding and conclusive upon Borrower, and the sale and conveyance made by Lender shall divest Borrower of all right, title, interest, and equity that Borrower may have or have had in, to, and under the Premises, or the part or parcel thereof or the interest therein that is sold, and shall vest the same in the purchaser or purchasers  at such sale or sales.   Lender may  hold  one or more sales hereunder until  the Secured  Obligations have been satisfied  in full.  Borrower  hereby  constitutes  and  appoints  Lender  as  Borrower's  agent  and attorney-in-fact   to  make   such   sale  or  sales,  to  execute   and  deliver   such   conveyance  or conveyances, and to make such recitals, and Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all of the acts and doings of Lender as Borrower's agent and attorney-in-fact hereunder.   Lender's agency and power   as  attorney-in-fact   hereunder   are  coupled  with  an  interest;  cannot   be  revoked   by bankruptcy,   insolvency,   incompetency,   death,   dissolution,   or   otherwise;   and   shall  not   be exhausted until the Secured Obligations have been satisfied in full. The proceeds of each sale by Lender  hereunder   shall  be  applied  first  to  the  costs  and  expenses  of  the  sale  and  of  all proceedings  in  connection  therewith  (including  without  limitation  the  fees  and  expenses  of Lender's attorneys  in connection  therewith), then to the payment  of the balance of the Secured Obligations, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Borrower or to the parties entitled thereto by  law.   If the proceeds  of any sale are not sufficient to pay  the  Secured  Obligations  in full, Lender  shall  determine,  at  Lender's  option  and  in  Lender's  discretion,  the  portions  of  the Secured Obligations to which the proceeds (after deducting therefrom the costs and expenses of the  sale and all proceedings  in  connection  therewith)  shall be  applied  and in what  order  the proceeds  shall  be  so  applied.  Borrower covenants  and  agrees  that,  in  the event of  any  sale pursuant to the agency and power herein granted, Borrower shall be and become a tenant holding over and shall deliver possession  of the Premises, or the part thereof or interest therein sold, to the purchaser  or purchasers  at the  sale or be  summarily  dispossessed  in  accordance  with  the provisions  of law applicable to tenants holding over.


All of the foregoing rights and remedies are cumulative of and in addition to, and not restrictive of or in lieu of, any right or remedy provided for by statute, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Lender may, at Lender's election and in Lender's sole discretion, exercise each and every such right and remedy concurrently or separately or in any combination.

ARTICLE III 
ADDITIONAL  PROVISIONS


The following terms and conditions shall constih1te additional covenants and agreements
by Borrower:


Section 3.1.    Non-Residential  Status of Premises.  Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that neither all of the Premises nor any part thereof is to be used as a dwelling place by Borrower at the time this Security Deed is entered into and, accordingly, the notice requirements of O.C.G.A. § 44-14-162.2 shall not be applicable to any exercise of the power of sale contained in this Security Deed.


Section 3.2.    Commercial Transaction. The interest of Lender under this Security Deed and the liability and obligation of Borrower for the payment of the Secured Obligations arise from a "commercial transaction" within the meaning of O.C.G.A. § 44-14-260(1). Accordingly, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 44-14-263, Borrower waives any and all rights that Borrower may have to notice prior to seizure by Lender of any interest in personal property of  Borrower that constitutes part of the Premises, whether such seizure is by writ of possession or otherwise.

Lender shall not be deemed to waive any of  Lender's rights or remedies under this Security Deed unless such waiver be  expressed  in writing  and signed by or on behalf of Lender. No delay, omission, or forbearance by Lender in exercising any of Lender's rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies.  A waiver in writing on one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver of any right or any remedy on any future occasion.


Section 3.5.    Time. Time is and shall be the essence of this Security Deed and the covenants and agreements by Borrower.


Section 3.6.    Captions.    Any captions or  headings preceding the text of separate sections, paragraphs, and subparagraphs hereof are solely for reference purposes and shall not affect the meaning, construction, interpretation, or effect of the text.


Section 3.7.    Notices. All notices, requests, and other communications  hereunder shall be in electronic, telephonic (confirmed in writing), or written form and shall be given to the party to whom sent, addressed to such person at its address set forth above. Each such notice, request, or communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, when such communication is transmitted to the telecopy number from time to time designated by the party receiving such notice in writing (any such notice, request, or communication sent by telecopy  shall  be confirmed promptly thereafter by personal delivery or mailing in accordance with the other provisions of this Section, but such confirmation requirement shall not affect the date on which such telecopy shall be deemed to be effective for purposes hereof); (ii) if given by mail, three (3) business  days after such communication  is deposited  in the United  States mail  with first class



8








postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as aforesaid; (iii) if sent for  overnight delivery by Federal Express or other reputable national overnight delivery service, one  (1) business day after such communication is entrusted to such  service for overnight delivery and with recipient signature  required, addressed as aforesaid; or (iv) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address of the party to whom such notice is being delivered. Either party may, by written notice to the other, designate a different address for receiving notices hereunder; provided, however, that no change in Borrower's address for receiving notices hereunder shall be effective until Lender has actually received notice thereof.


Section 3.8.  Severability.   Wherever possible,  each provision  of this  Security  Deed shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Deed shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security Deed.


Section 3.9.    Definitions. The word "Borrower" as used  herein shall include the legal representatives, successors, and assigns of Borrower as if so specified at length throughout this Security Deed, and all covenants, agreements, duties, obligations, liabilities, and responsibilities of Borrower shall be binding upon and enforceable against the legal representatives, successors, m1d assigns of Borrower.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may assign, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer this Security Deed to any other person or entity, and such other person or entity shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lender herein or otherwise. Borrower agrees that the assignments made of this Security Deed shall not subject Lender to or transfer or pass or in any way affect or modify any obligation of Borrower under the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all such obligations of Borrower shall be and remain enforceable only against Borrower.


Section 3.10.    WAIVERS.    BORROWER   HEREBY   EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT BORROWER MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA OR THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED  STATES  OF  AMERICA  TO NOTICE OR TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY PROVIDED TO LENDER BY THIS SECURITY DEED, AND WAIVES BORROWER'S RIGHTS, IF ANY, TO SET ASIDE OR INVALIDATE ANY SALE UNDER POWER DULY  CONSUMMATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY DEED ON THE GROUND (IF SUCH BE THE CASE) THAT THE SALE WAS CONSUMMATED WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR JUDICIAL HEARING OR BOTH. ALL WAIVERS BY BORROWER IN THIS PARAGRAPH HAVE BEEN MADE VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY, AND  KNOWINGLY  BY  BORROWER,  AFTER  BORROWER  HAS BEEN AFFORDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE INFORMED BY COUNSEL  OF BORROWER'S CHOICE AS TO POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE RIGHTS.

Section 3.11. Limited Obligations.  It is understood and agreed that in the performance of the agreements of Borrower herein contained, any obligation it may thereby incur for the payment of money shall not constitute a general obligation of Borrower but shall be a limited obligation of Borrower payable solely out of the proceeds of the Premises, including the Rents, and no recourse shall  be had or claim shall be made against any other  assets, properties, or revenues of Borrower to satisfy any obligations of Borrower under this Security Deed.


Section 3.12.   Uniform  Commercial  Code  Security Agreement.    (a) This Security Deed  is intended to be a security agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the items specified above as part of the Property that under applicable law may be subject to a security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, and Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in such items. The parties intend for this Security Deed to create a lien and security interest and security title in the Property and an absolute assignment of the Rents, all in favor of Lender. This Security Deed constitutes a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Property is located, covering all personal property, fixtures, and leases and rents.


(b) Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file one or more financing statements and such other documents as Lender may from time to time require to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender's security interest  in any Property, including personal  property,  fixtures, and rents.  Borrower shall pay all fees and costs that Lender may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as Lender may reasonably require. In case Borrower fails to execute any financing statements or other documents for the perfection or continuation of any security interest, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute any such documents on its behalf. If any financing statement or other document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Security Deed or the rights or obligations of the parties under it.


For the purposes set forth herein, the respective addresses of Borrower, as debtor, and Lender, as secured party, are as set forth in the preambles of this Security Deed.


Section 3.13.   Attorneys' Fees. Wherever the phrase "reasonable  attorneys'  fees" or similar phrases are used in this instrument or in the other Credit Documents, such phrase shall not mean the statutory attorneys' fees provided for by O.C.G.A § 13-1-11 but instead shall mean reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred by Lender.
