			2.03ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENT/LICENSE.  This assignment of Rents and Leases shall be absolute and effective upon execution by Mortgagor.  Mortgagee grants to Mortgagor a revocable license to collect Rents under the Leases to the extent that the same are attributable to one (1) month of the unexpired term of the Lease unless and until an Event of Default occurs.  All such Rents shall be collected and held in trust for Mortgagee, but until this license is revoked shall be used to pay the reasonable expenses of owning, maintaining, repairing, operating and renting the Improvements.  Mortgagee shall also have the right to revoke such license and collect Rents under any Leases if and so long as Mortgagee reasonably determines that an Event of Default under the Note Documents is likely to occur and such default will result in any Leases or rental obligations becoming modified, released, compromised or impaired or any rentals becoming improperly collected, waived, attached or embezzled.  Upon exercising this assignment of Rents and Leases, Mortgagee may take possession and control of the Improvements and shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to manage and operate the same, to collect the Rents, issues, profits and income therefrom, with full power to employ agents to manage the Improvements, and to do all acts relating to such management, including, but not limited to, contracting and paying for such repairs and replacements to the buildings and fixtures, equipment and personal property located therein and used in any way in the operation, use, and occupancy of the Improvements as in the sole judgment and discretion of Mortgagee may be necessary to maintain the same in an operational condition, purchasing and paying for such additional materials and equipment as in the sole judgment of Mortgagee may be necessary to operate and maintain a proper income from the Improvements, employing necessary operational employees, maintenance employees, purchasing fuel, providing utilities and paying for all other necessary expenses incurred in the operation of the Improvements, maintaining adequate insurance coverage over hazards customarily insured against and paying the premiums therefor, and applying the net rents, issues, profits and income so collected from the Improvements, after deducting the cost of collection thereof, which shall include a reasonable management fee for any management agent so employed, against the amount expended for repairs, upkeep, maintenance service, fuel, utilities, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and such other expenses as it may be necessary or desirable to incur, in the sole discretion of Mortgagee, in connection with the operation of the Improvements, and against interest, principal or other charges which have or which may become due, from time to time, under the terms of the Note Documents.
		

		
			2.04DELIVERY OF LEASES.  In the event that such an Event of Default under the Note Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor agrees to endorse and deliver to Mortgagee, all then existing Leases and other agreements relating or pertaining to the operation of the Property.  Without limiting the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, and whether or not Mortgagor endorses and/or delivers said Leases and other agreements to Mortgagee, as aforesaid, this assignment of Rents and Leases shall be deemed to be an assignment of all such Leases and other agreements to Mortgagee.  The provisions hereof shall not limit the effect of any assignments of particular Leases and other agreements in fact given to Mortgagee by Mortgagor.

			2.05NO LIABILITY OF MORTGAGEE.  It is further understood that this assignment of Rents and Leases shall not operate to place or impose any responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Mortgagee, nor for the performance of any of the terms and conditions of any Leases or other agreements assigned hereunder, nor shall it operate to make Mortgagee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants or any other party or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in any loss or injury to any tenant, invitee, licensee, employee or stranger.
		

		
			2.06NOTIFICATION OF TENANTS.  Mortgagee may, at its option, notify any tenants or other parties of the existence of the assignment of Rents and Leases hereunder.
		

		
			2.07COSTS AND EXPENSES.  Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee for all costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees that Mortgagee incurs in connection with the enforcement of any obligation contained in this assignment of Rents and Leases or the collection of any Rents assigned herein, with or without litigation, including, without limitation, any costs, expenses, and fees incurred: (a) in making demands for and collecting any rents; (b) in any action for rents against Mortgagor or any tenant; (c) on appeal; (d) in any petition for review; (e) in any arbitration or mediation; (f) in any action contesting or seeking to restrain, enjoin, stay, or postpone the exercise of any remedy in which Mortgagee prevails; (g) in any bankruptcy, probate, receivership or other proceeding involving Mortgagor; and (h) in connection with all negotiations, documentation, and other actions relating to any work‐out, compromise, settlement or satisfaction relating to this assignment of Rents and Leases.  All such costs, expenses, and fees shall be due and payable upon demand, shall bear interest from the date incurred through the date of collection at the Default Rate stated in the Note Documents, and shall be secured by the Mortgage.
		

		
			2.08SUBORDINATION OF LEASES.  Each Lease Property shall be absolutely and unconditionally subordinate to the Lien of this Mortgage, but shall also contain a provision, satisfactory to Mortgagee, that in the event of the exercise of the power of sale hereunder or a sale pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure, such Lease, at the sole and exclusive option of the purchaser at such sale, shall not be terminated and the tenant thereunder shall attorn to such purchaser and, if requested to do so, shall enter into a new lease for the balance of the term of such lease then remaining, upon the same terms and conditions.  If Mortgagee so requests, Mortgagor shall cause the tenant under each or any of such Leases to enter into subordination and attornment agreements with Mortgagee which are satisfactory in form, scope and substance to Mortgagee.   No warehouse agreements with respect to any portion of the Property shall create an interest in the Real Property.
		

		
			2.09LEASING COMMISSIONS.  Mortgagor covenants and agrees that all contracts and agreements between Mortgagor or Mortgagor and a third party relating to the Property to pay leasing commissions, management fees or other compensation shall (a) provide 
		
		
 

		

			 

		

		

			14

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		that the obligation to pay such commissions, fees and other compensation shall not be enforceable against any party other than the party who entered into such agreement; (b) be subordinate and inferior to the Lien of this Mortgage; and (c) not be enforceable against Mortgagee.  Mortgagor shall promptly furnish Mortgagee with evidence of Mortgagor’s compliance with this Section 2.09 upon the execution of each such contract or agreement.

SECURITY AGREEMENT
		

		
			3.01SECURITY AGREEMENT.  
		

		
			(a)THIS MORTGAGE CREATES A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY, AND TO THE EXTENT THE PROPERTY IS PERSONAL PROPERTY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THIS MORTGAGE CONSTITUTES A SECURITY AGREEMENT UNDER THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OF THE STATE WHERE THE PERSONAL PROPERTY IS SITUATED (THE “UCC”) AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW AND IS FILED AS A FIXTURE FILING.  UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, MORTGAGEE MAY, AT ITS OPTION, PURSUE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO A SECURED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY, AND/OR MORTGAGEE MAY, AT ITS OPTION, PROCEED AS TO ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH MORTGAGEE’ S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LIEN CREATED BY THIS MORTGAGE.
		

		
			(b)The grant of any security interest to Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall not be construed to derogate from or impair the lien or provisions of or the rights of Mortgagee under this Mortgage with respect to any property described therein which is real property or which the parties have agreed to treat as real property.  
		

		
			(c)If required by Mortgagee, at any time during the term of this Mortgage,  Mortgagor shall execute and deliver to Mortgagee, in form satisfactory to Mortgagee, additional security agreements, financing statements and/or other instruments covering all Personal Property as defined above or fixtures of Mortgagor which may at any time be furnished, placed on, or annexed or made appurtenant to any of the Real Property or used, useful or held for use, in the operation of any Improvements.
		

		
			(d)Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to file with the appropriate filing officer or office such financing statements and/or other instruments as Mortgagee may deem appropriate in order to impose and perfect the lien and security interest created hereby more specifically on the Personal Property or any fixtures.  Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee to file such financing statements and amendments, assignments and continuations thereto, as 
		
		
 

		

			 

		

		

			15

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		Mortgagee deems necessary to perfect Mortgagee’s security interest in the Personal Property and to prevent its security interest from becoming unperfected.

		
		
			(e)It is understood and agreed that, in order to protect Mortgagee from the effect of Ind. Code § 26-1-9.1-334, as amended from time to time, in the event that Mortgagor intends to purchase any goods which may become fixtures attached to the Property, or any part thereof, and such goods shall be subject to a purchase money security interest held by a seller or any other party:
		

		
			(1)Mortgagor shall, before executing any security agreement or other document evidencing or perfecting such security interest, obtain the prior written approval of Mortgagee, and all requests for such written approval shall be in writing and contain the following information:
		

		
			(i)a description of the fixtures to be replaced, added to, installed or substituted;
		

		
			(ii)the address at which the fixtures will be replaced, added to, installed or substituted; and
		

		
			(iii)the name and address of the proposed holder and proposed amount of the security interest.
		

		
			Mortgagor’s execution of any such security agreement or other document evidencing or perfecting such security interest without Mortgagee’s prior written approval shall constitute an Event of Default.  No consent by Mortgagee pursuant to this clause (e) shall be deemed to constitute an agreement to subordinate any right of Mortgagee in fixtures or other property covered by this Mortgage.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(2)If at any time Mortgagor fails to make any payment on an obligation secured by a purchase money security interest in the Personal Property or any fixtures, Mortgagee, at its option, may at any time pay the amount secured by such security interest.  Any costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee under this Subparagraph, including any expenses, costs, charges and attorney’s fees incurred by Mortgagee, shall be reimbursed to Mortgagee in accordance with Section 5.04.  Mortgagee shall be subrogated to the rights of the holder of any such purchase money security interest in the Personal Property.
		

		
			(3)Mortgagee shall have the right to acquire by assignment from the holder of such security interest any and all contract rights, accounts receivable, negotiable or non-negotiable instruments, or other evidence of Mortgagor’s indebtedness for such Personal Property or fixtures, and, upon acquiring such interest by assignment, shall have the right to 
		
		
 

		

			 

		

		

			16

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		enforce the security interest as assignee thereof, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the UCC and in accordance with any other provisions of Applicable Law.

		
		
			(4)Whether or not Mortgagee has paid the indebtedness secured by, or taken an assignment of, such security interest, Mortgagor shall pay all sums and perform all obligations secured thereby, and if Mortgagor at any time shall be in default under such security agreement, it shall constitute an Event of Default.
		

		
			(5)The provisions of the foregoing clauses (2) and (3) shall not apply if the goods which may become fixtures are of at least equivalent value and quality as any property being replaced and if the rights of the party holding such security interest have been expressly subordinated, at no cost to Mortgagee, to the Lien and security interest of this Mortgage in a manner satisfactory to Mortgagee, including without limitation, at the option of Mortgagee, providing to Mortgagee a satisfactory opinion of counsel to the effect that this Mortgage constitutes a valid and subsisting first Lien on such fixtures which is not subordinate to the lien of such security interest under any Applicable Law, including without limitation, the provisions of Ind. Code § 26-1-9.1-334.
		

		
			(f)Mortgagor hereby warrants, represents and covenants with, to and for the benefit of Mortgagee as follows:
		

		
			(1)Mortgagor is the sole owner of the Personal Property, free from any Lien, security interest, encumbrance or adverse claim thereon of any kind whatsoever other than the lien of this Mortgage and the Permitted Exceptions.  Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee of, shall protect, defend and indemnify Mortgagee against, all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming any rights or interest therein.

			(a)Foreclosure.  Institute an action of foreclosure in accordance with the law of the State of Indiana, or take such other action as the law may allow, at law or in equity, for the enforcement of the Note Documents and realization on the Property or any other security afforded by the Note Documents and, in the case of a judicial proceeding, proceed to final judgment and execution thereon for the amount of the Obligations (as of the date of such judgment) together with all costs of suit, attorneys’ fees and interest on such judgment at the maximum rate permitted by law from and after the date of such judgment until actual payment is made to Mortgagee in the full amount due to Mortgagee;  provided,  however, that if Mortgagee is the purchaser at any foreclosure sale of the Property, the foreclosure sale price (Mortgagee’s final bid) shall be applied against the total amount due to Mortgagee; and/or
		

		
			(b)Possession.  Mortgagee personally, or by its agents, attorneys or any receiver appointed by the court, may enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, and in its own name or in the name of Mortgagor sue for or otherwise collect any and all Rents or other proceeds of the Property and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Mortgagee may in its sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Mortgage.  Such other things may include (i) insuring or keeping the Property insured; (ii) entering into, enforcing, modifying or

Mortgagor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact to perform such acts and execute such documents as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Mortgagor’s name on any instruments.  Mortgagor agrees to deliver to Mortgagee all books and records pertaining to the Property, including computer-readable memory and any computer hardware or software necessary to access or process such memory, as may reasonably be requested by Mortgagee in order to enable Mortgagee to exercise its rights under this Section.  All costs expenses, including receiver’s fees and attorneys’ fees, costs and agent’s compensation incurred pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee upon demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage.  Anything in this Section 4.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, Mortgagee shall not be obligated to discharge or perform the duties of a landlord to any tenant or incur any liability as the result of any exercise by Mortgagee of its rights under this Mortgage, and Mortgagee shall be liable to account only for the Rents, incomes, issues, profits, and revenues actually received by Mortgagee.

		
		
			(c)UCC Remedies.  Mortgagee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, and any other applicable Indiana law, including without limitation the right and power to sell, or otherwise dispose of, the Personal Property, or any part thereof.  For that purpose Mortgagee may take immediate and exclusive possession of the Personal Property, or any part thereof, and with or without judicial process, enter upon any Land on which the Personal Property, or any part thereof, may be situated and remove the same therefrom without being deemed guilty of trespass and without liability for damages thereby occasioned or, at Mortgagee’s option, Mortgagor shall assemble the Personal Property and make it available to Mortgagee at the place and at the time designated in the demand.  Mortgagee shall be entitled to hold, maintain, preserve and prepare the Personal Property for sale.  Mortgagee without removal may render the Personal Property unusable and dispose of the Personal Property on the Land.

		its rights and remedies with respect to the Real Property in accordance with the unified sale procedures set forth in the UCC.

		
		
			(e)Receiver.  Mortgagee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the Property and of all the earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income therefrom, ex parte, without notice, and without regard to the sufficiency or value of any security for the Secured Obligations or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, the expenses of which shall be secured by this Mortgage.
		

		
			(f)Other Remedies.   Mortgagee may take such steps to (i) protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit or proceeding in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in the Notes, or in this Mortgage, or (ii) aid in the execution of any power herein granted, (iii) accomplish any foreclosure hereunder, or (iv) enforce any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as Mortgagee shall elect.
		

		
			4.03APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE.  In the event of any sale of the Property pursuant to Section 4.02(a) or Section 4.02(b) hereof, the proceeds of such sale, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be applied to the following, in such order as Mortgagee shall, in its sole discretion, determine: the expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees and expenses; Taxes, Other Charges,  premia on the Policies,  Liens, and other costs and expenses; the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount;  all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes; and any other unpaid portion of the Obligations; and the remainder shall be paid to Mortgagor.
		

		
			4.04REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.  All rights and remedies herein expressly provided for are cumulative of any and all other rights and remedies existing at law or in equity and are cumulative of any and all other remedies provided for in any other Note Document, and the Mortgagee shall, in addition to the rights and remedies herein provided, be entitled to avail themselves of all such other rights and remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity for the collection of the Obligations, the enforcement of the covenants herein and the foreclosure of the Liens and security interests evidenced hereby, and the resort to any right or remedy provided for hereunder or under any such other Note Document provided for by law shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate rights or remedies.
		

		
			4.05RESORT TO SECURITY.  Mortgagee may resort to any security given by this Mortgage or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Mortgagee in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, and any such action shall not in any way be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits, liens or security interests evidenced by this Mortgage.

Mortgagor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshalling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Mortgagee under the terms of this Mortgage to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Mortgagee under the terms of this Mortgage to the payment of the Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatever.  If any law referred to in this paragraph and now in force, of which Mortgagor or Mortgagor’s representatives, successors and assigns and such other Persons claiming any interest in the Property might take advantage despite this paragraph, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section 4.06.
		

		
			4.07TENANCY.  In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale Mortgagor or Mortgagor’s representatives, successors or assigns or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Mortgagor are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, each and all shall, at the option of Mortgagee or any purchaser at such sale, as the case may be, immediately become the tenant of such purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will of either the landlord or the tenant under such tenancy, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the Property occupied.

			(d)To the extent that the laws of the State of Indiana limit (i) the availability of the exercise of any of the remedies set forth in this Mortgage, including, without limitation, the remedies involving a power of sale on the part of Mortgagee and the right of Mortgagee to exercise self-help in connection with the enforcement of the terms of this Mortgage, or (ii) the enforcement of any waivers and indemnities made by Mortgagor, such remedies, waivers, or indemnities shall be exercisable or enforceable (as applicable), any provisions in this Mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding, if, and to the extent, permitted by the laws of the State of Indiana that are in force at the time of such exercise and/or enforcement without regard to whether such remedies, waivers or indemnities were enforceable at the time of the execution and delivery of this Mortgage.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(e)Nothing in this Mortgage or in the other Note Documents is intended to constitute a waiver by Mortgagee of, or an agreement by Mortgagor to waive, the time limitations set forth in Ind. Code § 32-29-7-3 so as to constitute consideration for a waiver or release of a deficiency judgment, or otherwise result in a waiver or release under Ind. Code § 32-29-7-5 or any other provision of Applicable Indiana Law of a deficiency judgment, or of the right to seek a deficiency judgment against Mortgagor or any other Person liable for the Obligations or any part thereof, or a consent by Mortgagor or Mortgagee to any such a waiver or release, which right to seek a deficiency judgment is hereby reserved, preserved and retained by Mortgagee for its own behalf and its successors and assigns, subject to the terms of this Mortgage.

Code § 32-30-5, Receiverships, and the UCC (such laws, as amended, modified and/or recodified from time to time are collectively referred to herein collectively as, the "Applicable Indiana Law").  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Mortgage and the provisions of Applicable Indiana Law, the provisions of Applicable Indiana Law shall take precedence over the provisions of this Mortgage, but shall not invalidate 
		

		 

		

			 

		

		

			24

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		or render unenforceable any other provisions of this Mortgage that can be construed in a manner consistent with Applicable Indiana Law.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Mortgage relating to a power of sale or other provision for the sale of the Property upon a Default other than pursuant to a judicial proceeding, any sale of the Property pursuant to this Mortgage shall be made through a judicial proceeding, except as otherwise may be permitted under the UCC.

Pursuant to Ind. Code § 32-29-1-10, the lien of this Mortgage with respect to any future advances, modifications, extensions, and renewals referred to herein and made from time to time shall have the same priority to which this Mortgage otherwise would be entitled as of the date this Mortgage hereof without regard to the fact that any such future advance, modification, extension, or renewal may occur after the date hereof.  The maximum principal amount set forth in this clause (h) is stated herein for the purpose of any Applicable Indiana Law pertaining to future advances and may be in excess of the permitted borrowing under the Note to cover expense, accrued interest, costs of collection and other costs, expenses and obligations, and shall not be deemed to be a commitment by Mortgagee to make any future advances.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(i)It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a security agreement within the meaning of Applicable Indiana Law.  If an Event of Default shall occur, then, in addition to all other rights or remedies under the Note Documents, at law or in equity, Mortgagee shall have the option pursuant to Applicable Indiana Law, with respect to any Personal Property, to either (i) proceed under Applicable Indiana Law and exercise such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by Applicable Indiana Law with respect to all or any portion of such Personal Property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treat such Personal Property as real property and proceed with respect to both the real property and Personal Property constituting the Property

			(j)Without limiting the scope of the assignment of Rents and Profits contained in this Mortgage, the assignment of Rents and Profits set forth herein shall constitute an assignment of rents as set forth in Ind. Code § 32‐21-4-2 and thereby creates, and Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee, a security interest in the Rents and Profits that will be perfected upon the recording of this Mortgage.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(k)Subject to the terms and provisions of this Mortgage, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to the appointment of a receiver, which receiver, when duly appointed, shall have all of the powers and duties of receivers pursuant to Applicable Indiana Law.

			﻿
		

		
			(m)Mortgagor expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies which Mortgagor may have or be able to assert by reason of the laws of the State of Indiana pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties.

			(o)All costs incurred by Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage, to the extent reimbursable under Applicable Indiana Law, whether or not enumerated in this Mortgage ("Reimbursable Costs"), shall be added to the Obligations secured by this Mortgage or by the judgment of foreclosure, which Reimbursable Costs may include, without limitation, all costs and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Mortgagee in any proceeding

The amount of any such Reimbursable Costs which may be paid or incurred after the decree or judgment for sale is entered may be estimated and the amount of such estimate may be allowed and included as additional indebtedness secured hereby in the foreclosure judgment or decree for or sale.

			﻿
		

		
			(r)If both any leasehold estate and the fee estate for all or any portion of the Property at any time become vested in one owner, this Mortgage and the lien created hereby shall not be merged, destroyed or terminated by application of the doctrine of merger and, in such event, the Mortgagee shall continue to have and enjoy all of the rights and privileges of the Mortgagee as to the separate estates.  In addition, upon the foreclosure of the lien of this Mortgage, pursuant to the provisions hereof or Applicable Indiana Law, or upon any conveyance in lieu thereof, neither the fee estate, nor any Leases then existing with respect to

			(b)Non-borrower Mortgagor waives:
		

		 

		

			 

		

		

			28

			(2)Any defense based on any legal disability of borrower, any discharge or limitation of the liability of Obligor to Mortgagee, whether consensual or arising by operation of law or any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency, or debtor-relief proceeding, or from any other cause, or any claim that Non-borrower Mortgagor's obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of Obligor:
		

		
			(3)All presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Mortgage and of the existence, creation, or incurrence of new or additional indebtedness of Obligor, and demands and notices of every kind;

			(c)Non-borrower Mortgagor assumes full responsibility for keeping informed of Obligor's financial condition and business operations and all other circumstances affecting Obligor’s ability to pay and perform its obligations to Mortgagee, and agrees that Mortgagee shall have no duty to disclose to Non-borrower Mortgagor any information which Mortgagee may receive about Obligor's financial condition, business operations, or any other circumstances bearing on its ability to perform.
		

		
			(d)No provision or waiver in this Mortgage shall be construed as limiting the generality of any other provision or waiver contained in this Mortgage.

			1.02WARRANTY OF TITLE.  Trustor warrants that it is lawfully seized of that portion of the Property which constitutes real property, that it holds marketable and indefeasible fee simple absolute title to same, and that it has good right and is lawfully authorized to sell, convey or encumber the Property subject only to those specifically enumerated matters set forth in Schedule B Part I of the Beneficiary’s title insurance policy issued as of even date herewith insuring the priority of the Lien of this Deed of Trust (the “Permitted Exceptions”).

		charges or levies imposed upon it, and its income or profits or its properties, including all real estate taxes and assessments and any taxes or assessments imposed or assessed in lieu of or in substitution for any of the foregoing (collectively, “Taxes”) and (ii) maintenance charges, amounts due under any Property Documents and any other charges arising or accruing with respect to any Property as well as all other lawful claims and liabilities of any kind (including claims and liabilities for labor, materials and supplies) which, if unpaid, might by law or otherwise become or give rise to a Lien upon any Property or any other property of any Obligor Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Property) (collectively “Other Charges”), in each case, prior to delinquency.   Not later than the date on which any Taxes would become delinquent, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary official receipts of the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as may be reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary evidencing the payment thereof in full.

Upon the termination of any such proceeding or contest, Trustor shall pay the amount of such Taxes or any applicable portion thereof that is, in each case, finally determined in such proceeding or contest to be due and owing; provided,  however, that if funds have been deposited with Beneficiary in respect of any such contest or proceeding in accordance with this Section 1.03, such funds shall (so long as no Event of Default exists) be applied toward the payment of such Taxes and the excess (if any) following such application shall be returned to Trustor.

			2.02PERFORMANCE OF LEASES.  Trustor shall observe and perform all covenants, conditions, and agreements in any Lease or in any assignment in fact given by Trustor to Beneficiary of any particular Lease on the part of the Trustor or the landlord to be observed and performed thereunder.  Trustor will not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, (a) accept any payment of rent or installments of rent (including, without limitation, security deposits) for more than one (1) month in advance, (b) amend, sublease, assign, extend, cancel, abridge, terminate, or modify any Lease, (c) take any action or exercise any right or option which would permit the tenant under any Lease to cancel or terminate any Lease, or (d) permit any Lease to be or become subordinate to any Lien other than the Lien of this Deed of Trust or any Lien to which the Deed of Trust is now or may pursuant to its respective terms become subordinate.  As used in this Deed of Trust, the terms “Lease” and “Leases” shall include, without limitation, all agreements for the management, maintenance, or operation of any part of the Improvements.
		

		
			2.03ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENT/LICENSE.  This assignment of Rents and Leases shall be absolute and effective upon execution by Trustor.

			2.04DELIVERY OF LEASES.  In the event that such an Event of Default under the Note Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, Trustor agrees to endorse and deliver to Beneficiary, all then existing Leases and other agreements relating or pertaining to the operation of the Property.

It is further understood that this assignment of Rents and Leases shall not operate to place or impose any responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Beneficiary, nor for the performance of any of the terms and conditions of any Leases or other agreements assigned hereunder, nor shall it operate to make Beneficiary responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants or any other party or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in any loss or injury to any tenant, invitee, licensee, employee or stranger.

			2.06NOTIFICATION OF TENANTS.  Beneficiary may, at its option, notify any tenants or other parties of the existence of the assignment of Rents and Leases hereunder.
		

		
			2.07COSTS AND EXPENSES.  Trustor shall reimburse Beneficiary for all costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees that Beneficiary incurs in connection with the enforcement of any obligation contained in this assignment of Rents and Leases or the collection of any Rents assigned herein, with or without litigation, including, without limitation, any costs, expenses, and fees incurred: (a) in making demands for and collecting any rents; (b) in any action for rents against Trustor or any tenant; (c) on appeal; (d) in any petition for review; (e) in any arbitration or mediation; (f) in any action contesting or seeking to restrain, enjoin, stay, or postpone the exercise of any remedy in which Beneficiary prevails; (g) in any bankruptcy, probate, receivership or other proceeding involving Trustor; and (h) in connection with all negotiations, documentation, and other actions relating to any work‐out, compromise, settlement or satisfaction relating to this assignment of Rents and Leases.  All such costs, expenses, and fees shall be due and payable upon demand, shall bear interest from the date incurred through the date of collection at the Default Rate stated in the Note Documents, and shall be secured by the Deed of Trust.
		

		
			2.08SUBORDINATION OF LEASES.  Each Lease shall be absolutely and unconditionally subordinate to the Lien of this Deed of Trust, but shall also contain a provision, satisfactory to Beneficiary, that in the event of the exercise of the power of sale hereunder or a sale pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure, such Lease, at the sole and exclusive option of the purchaser at such sale, shall not be terminated and the tenant thereunder shall attorn to such purchaser and, if requested to do so, shall enter into a new lease for the balance of the term of such lease then remaining, upon the same terms and conditions.  If Beneficiary so requests, Trustor shall cause the tenant under each or any of such Leases to enter into subordination and attornment agreements with Beneficiary which are satisfactory in form, scope and substance to Beneficiary.  No warehouse agreements with respect to any portion of the Property shall create an interest in the Real Property.
		

		
			2.09LEASING COMMISSIONS.  Trustor covenants and agrees that all contracts and agreements between Trustor or Trustor and a third party relating to the Property to pay leasing commissions, management fees or other compensation shall (a) provide that the obligation to pay such commissions, fees and other compensation shall not be enforceable against any party other than the party who entered into such agreement; (b) be subordinate and inferior to the Lien of this Deed of Trust; and (c) not be enforceable against Beneficiary.  Trustor shall promptly furnish Beneficiary with evidence of Trustor’s compliance with this Section 2.09 upon the execution of each such contract or agreement.

			Trustor’s execution of any such security agreement or other document evidencing or perfecting such security interest without Beneficiary’s prior written approval shall constitute an Event of Default.  No consent by Beneficiary pursuant to this clause (e) shall be deemed to constitute an agreement to subordinate any right of Beneficiary in fixtures or other property covered by this Deed of Trust.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			(2)If at any time Trustor fails to make any payment on an obligation secured by a purchase money security interest in the Personal Property or any fixtures, Beneficiary, at its option, may at any time pay the amount secured by such security interest.  Any costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary under this clause (2), including any expenses, costs, charges and attorney’s fees incurred by Beneficiary, shall be reimbursed to Beneficiary in accordance with Section 5.04.  Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the rights of the holder of any such purchase money security interest in the Personal Property.
		

		
			(3)Beneficiary shall have the right to acquire by assignment from the holder of such security interest any and all contract rights, accounts receivable, negotiable or non-negotiable instruments, or other evidence of Trustor’s indebtedness for such Personal Property or fixtures, and, upon acquiring such interest by assignment, shall have the right to enforce the security interest as assignee thereof, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the UCC and in accordance with any other provisions of Applicable Law.
		

		
			(4)Whether or not Beneficiary has paid the indebtedness secured by, or taken an assignment of, such security interest, Trustor shall pay all sums and perform all obligations secured thereby, and if Trustor at any time shall be in default under such security agreement, it shall constitute an Event of Default.

			(5)The provisions of the foregoing clauses (2) and (3) shall not apply if the goods which may become fixtures are of at least equivalent value and quality as any property being replaced and if the rights of the party holding such security interest have been expressly subordinated, at no cost to Beneficiary, to the Lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust in a manner satisfactory to Beneficiary, including without limitation, at the option of Beneficiary, providing to Beneficiary a satisfactory opinion of counsel to the effect that this Deed of Trust constitutes a valid and subsisting first Lien on such fixtures which is not subordinate to the lien of such security interest under any Applicable Law, including without limitation, the provisions of Tennessee Code Annotated Section 47-9-334.
		

		
			(f)Trustor hereby warrants, represents and covenants with, to and for the benefit of Beneficiary as follows:
		

		
			(1)Trustor is the sole owner of the Personal Property, free from any Lien, security interest, encumbrance or adverse claim thereon of any kind whatsoever other than the lien of this Deed of Trust and the Permitted Exceptions.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
		

		
			4.01INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
		

		
			4.02REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.  Upon the happening of any Event of Default, the Obligations shall, at the option of Beneficiary, become immediately due and payable in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, without further notice or demand, and Beneficiary may forthwith exercise and/or enforce any one (1) or more of the following rights and remedies:
		

		
			(a)Foreclosure.  Institute an action of foreclosure in accordance with the law of the State of Tennessee, or take such other action as the law may allow, at law or in equity, for the enforcement of the Note Documents and realization on the Property or any other security afforded by the Note Documents and, in the case of a judicial proceeding, proceed to final judgment and execution thereon for the amount of the Obligations (as of the date of such judgment) together with all costs of suit, attorneys’ fees and interest on such judgment at the maximum rate permitted by law from and after the date of such judgment until actual payment is made to Beneficiary in the full amount due to Beneficiary;  provided,  however, that if Beneficiary is the purchaser at any foreclosure sale of the Property, the foreclosure sale price (Beneficiary’s final bid) shall be applied against the total amount due to Beneficiary; and/or
		

		
			(b)Possession.  Trustee or Beneficiary personally, or by its agents, attorneys or any receiver appointed by the court, may enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, and in its own name or in the name of Trustor sue for or otherwise collect any and all Rents or other proceeds of the Property and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Beneficiary may in its sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust.  Such other things may include (i) insuring or keeping the Property insured; (ii) entering into, enforcing, modifying or canceling Leases on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may consider proper; (iii) obtaining and evicting tenants; (iv) fixing or modifying Rents; (v) completing any unfinished construction; (vi) contracting for and making repairs and Alterations; and (vii) performing such acts of cultivation or irrigation as necessary to conserve the value of the Property.  Trustor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact to perform such acts and execute such documents as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Trustor’s name on any instruments.  Trustor agrees to deliver to Beneficiary all books and records pertaining to the Property, including computer-readable memory and any computer hardware or software 
		
		
 

		

			 

		

		

			18

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		necessary to access or process such memory, as may reasonably be requested by Beneficiary in order to enable Beneficiary to exercise its rights under this Section.  All costs expenses, including receiver’s fees and attorneys’ fees, costs and agent’s compensation incurred pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be payable by Trustor to Beneficiary upon demand and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.  Anything in this Section 4.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, Beneficiary shall not be obligated to discharge or perform the duties of a landlord to any tenant or incur any liability as the result of any exercise by Beneficiary of its rights under this Deed of Trust, and Beneficiary shall be liable to account only for the Rents, incomes, issues, profits, and revenues actually received by Beneficiary.

		
		
			(c)UCC Remedies.  Beneficiary shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, and any other Applicable Laws, including without limitation the right and power to sell, or otherwise dispose of, the Personal Property, or any part thereof.  For that purpose Beneficiary may take immediate and exclusive possession of the Personal Property, or any part thereof, and with or without judicial process, enter upon any Land on which the Personal Property, or any part thereof, may be situated and remove the same therefrom without being deemed guilty of trespass and without liability for damages thereby occasioned or, at Beneficiary’s option, Trustor shall assemble the Personal Property and make it available to Beneficiary at the place and at the time designated in the demand.  Beneficiary shall be entitled to hold, maintain, preserve and prepare the Personal Property for sale.  Beneficiary without removal may render the Personal Property unusable and dispose of the Personal Property on the Land.  To the extent permitted by law, Trustor expressly waives any notice of sale or other disposition of the Personal Property and any other right or remedy of Beneficiary existing after default hereunder, and to the extent that any such notice is required and cannot be waived, Trustor agrees that as it relates to this Section 4.02 (c) only, if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to Trustor at the above address at least ten (10) days prior to the time of the sale or disposition, such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable and shall fully satisfy any requirement for giving of said notice.
		

		
			(d)Mixed Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.02(c) above which might otherwise be construed to the contrary, Beneficiary shall have the option of proceeding as to the Real Property and all or some of the Personal Property in accordance with its rights and remedies with respect to the Real Property in accordance with the unified sale procedures set forth in the UCC.
		

		
			(e)Receiver.  Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the Property and of all the earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income therefrom, ex parte, without notice, and without regard to the sufficiency or value of any security for the Secured Obligations or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, the expenses of which shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
		

		 

		

			 

		

		

			19

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		
			(f)Other Remedies.  Beneficiary may take such steps to (i) protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit or proceeding in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in the Notes, or in this Deed of Trust, or (ii) aid in the execution of any power herein granted, (iii) accomplish any foreclosure hereunder, or (iv) enforce any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as Beneficiary shall elect.
		

		
			4.03APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE.  In the event of any sale of the Property pursuant to Section 4.02(a) or Section 4.02(c) hereof, the proceeds of such sale, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be applied to the following, in such order as Beneficiary shall, in its sole discretion, determine: the expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees and expenses; Taxes, Other Charges, premia on the Policies, Liens, and other costs and expenses; the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount; all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes; and any other unpaid portion of the Obligations; and the remainder shall be paid to Trustor.
		

		
			4.04REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.  All rights and remedies herein expressly provided for are cumulative of any and all other rights and remedies existing at law or in equity and are cumulative of any and all other remedies provided for in any other Note Document, and the Trustee and Beneficiary shall, in addition to the rights and remedies herein provided, be entitled to avail themselves of all such other rights and remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity for the collection of the Obligations, the enforcement of the covenants herein and the foreclosure of the Liens and security interests evidenced hereby, and the resort to any right or remedy provided for hereunder or under any such other Note Document provided for by law shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate rights or remedies.
		

		
			4.05RESORT TO SECURITY.  Beneficiary may resort to any security given by this Deed of Trust or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Beneficiary in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, and any such action shall not in any way be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits, liens or security interests evidenced by this Deed of Trust.
		

		
			4.06TRUSTOR’S WAIVER.  To the fullest extent that Trustor may do so, Trustor agrees that Trustor shall not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Trustor, for Trustor and Trustor’s representatives, Affiliates, successors and assigns, and for any and all Persons ever claiming any interest in the Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the Obligations, notice of election to mature or declare due the Obligations and all rights to a marshalling of the 
		
		
 

		

			 

		

		

			20

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		assets of Trustor, including the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby created.  Trustor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshalling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust to the payment of the Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatever.  If any law referred to in this paragraph and now in force, of which Trustor or Trustor’s representatives, successors and assigns and such other Persons claiming any interest in the Property might take advantage despite this Section 4.06, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section 4.06.

		
		
			4.07TENANCY.  In the event that there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale Trustor or Trustor’s representatives, successors or assigns or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Trustor are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, each and all shall, at the option of Beneficiary or any purchaser at such sale, as the case may be, immediately become the tenant of such purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will of either the landlord or the tenant under such tenancy, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the Property occupied.
		

		
			ARTICLE V
GENERAL COVENANTS
		

		
			5.01NO WAIVER.  No single or partial exercise by Beneficiary and/or Trustee, or delay or omission in the exercise and/or enforcement by Beneficiary and/or Trustee, of any right or remedy under the Note Documents shall preclude, waive or limit any other or further exercise and/or enforcement thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  Beneficiary shall at all times have the right to proceed against any portion of, or interest in, the Property in such a manner as Beneficiary may deem fit, without waiving any rights or remedies with respect to any other portion of the Property.
		

		
			5.02FEES AND EXPENSES.  If Beneficiary becomes a party (by intervention or otherwise) to any action or proceeding affecting, directly or indirectly, Trustor, the Property or the title thereto or Beneficiary’s interest under this Deed of Trust, or employs or engages an attorney to collect any of the Obligations or to exercise and/or enforce performance of the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Note Documents, Trustor shall reimburse Beneficiary for all expenses, costs, charges and legal fees incurred by Beneficiary (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of experts and consultants), whether or not any such

		suit shall be commenced, and the same shall be reimbursed to Beneficiary in accordance with Section 5.04 hereof.

		
		
			5.03WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.  Trustor covenants and agrees that (except to the extent that Beneficiary actually incurs such damages in connection with third party claims) in no event shall Beneficiary be liable for consequential damages, whatever the nature of a failure by Beneficiary to perform its obligation(s), if any, under the Note Documents, and Trustor hereby expressly waives all claims that it now or may hereafter have against Beneficiary for such consequential damages.
		

		
			5.04BENEFICIARY REIMBURSEMENT.  Any payments made, or funds expended or advanced by Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of any Note Document, shall (a) become a part of the Obligations, (b) bear interest at the applicable interest rate under the Notes (including, to the extent applicable, the Default Rate) from the date such payments are made or such funds are expended or advanced and (c) become due and payable by Trustor upon demand therefor by Beneficiary.  Failure to reimburse Beneficiary upon such demand shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 4.01(a) hereof.
		

		
			5.05INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEE. Except to the extent that the same constitutes gross negligence or wilful misconduct, Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission or error of judgment. Trustee may rely on any document believed by it in good faith to be genuine. All amounts received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for Beneficiary, but need not be segregated (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall not be liable for interest thereon. Trustor shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Trustee against all liability and expenses which Trustee may incur in the performance of its duties hereunder.
		

		
			5.06ACTIONS BY TRUSTEE. At any time, or from time to time, without liability therefor and without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed of Trust and the Note Documents for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any Person for the satisfaction of the Obligations or the effect or validity of this Deed of Trust, Trustee may take such actions as Beneficiary may request and which are permitted by this Deed of Trust or by Applicable Laws.
