TO HAVE AND TO HOLD
the Property unto and to the use and
benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns,
forever;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER
, these presents are upon the
express condition that, if Borrower shall well and truly pay to
Lender the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Loan
Documents and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each
and every covenant and condition set forth in the Loan Documents in
a timely manner, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall
cease, terminate and be void;
AND Borrower represents and warrants to and
covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:
PART I - GENERAL
PROVISIONS
1.
Payment of Debt and Incorporation
of Covenants Conditions and Agreements . Borrower shall pay the
Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Loan
Documents. All the covenants, conditions and agreements
contained in the Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this
Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as
if fully set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Borrower (i) agrees to insure, repair, maintain
and restore damage to the Property, escrow and pay Taxes and Other
Charges, and comply with Legal Requirements, in accordance with the
Loan Agreement, and (ii) agrees that the Proceeds of Insurance
and Awards for Condemnation shall be settled, held and applied in
accordance with the Loan Agreement.
2.
Leases and Rents
.
(a)
Borrower does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assign to
Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in all
current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Borrower
that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and
not an assignment for additional security only. Such
assignment shall not be construed to bind Lender to the performance
of any of the covenants or provisions contained in any Lease or
otherwise impose any obligation upon Lender. Nevertheless,
subject to the terms of this paragraph, Lender grants to Borrower a
revocable license to operate and manage the Property and to collect
the Rents subject to the requirements of the Loan Agreement
(including the deposit of Rents into the Clearing Account).
Upon an Event of Default, without the need for notice or demand,
the license granted to Borrower herein shall automatically be
revoked, and Lender shall immediately be entitled to possession of
all Rents in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account (including
all Subaccounts thereof) and all Rents collected thereafter
(including Rents past due and unpaid), whether or not Lender enters
upon or takes control of the Property. Borrower hereby grants
and assigns to Lender the right, at its option, upon revocation of
the license granted herein, to enter upon the Property in person,
by agent or by court-appointed receiver to collect the Rents.
Unless prohibited by applicable law, any Rents collected after the
revocation of such license may be applied toward payment of the
Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its sole
discretion shall deem proper.
(b)
Borrower shall not enter into, modify, amend, cancel, terminate or
renew any Lease except as provided in Section 5.10 of the Loan
Agreement.
3.
Use of Property
. Except as provided in
the Loan Agreement, (a) Borrower shall not initiate, join in,
acquiesce in or consent to any change in any private restrictive
covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction,
limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property;
(b) if under applicable zoning provisions the use of the Property
is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower shall not cause or
permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned
without the consent of Lender; and (c) Borrower shall not
(i) change the use of the Property, or (ii) permit or
suffer to occur any waste on or to the Property.
4.
Transfer or Encumbrance of the
Property .
(a)
Borrower acknowledges that (i) Lender has examined and relied
on the creditworthiness and experience of the principals of
Borrower in owning and operating properties such as the Property in
agreeing to make the Loan, (ii) Lender will continue to rely
on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of
maintaining the value of the Property as security for the Debt, and
(iii) Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of
the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the
repayment of the Debt, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the
Property. Borrower shall not sell, convey, alienate,
mortgage, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer the Property or
any part thereof, or suffer or permit any Transfer to occur, other
than a Permitted Transfer or as otherwise expressly permitted under
the Loan Documents.
(b)
Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment
of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order
to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Transfer in
violation of this Paragraph 4. This provision shall
apply to every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance,
pledge or transfer of the Property (and every other Transfer)
regardless of whether voluntary or not. Any Transfer made in
contravention of this Paragraph 4 shall be null and void and
of no force and effect, to the fullest extent permitted by
law. Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse
Lender on demand for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, title search costs and
title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by Lender in
connection with the review, approval and documentation of any
Permitted Transfer.
5.
Changes in Laws Regarding
Taxation .
If any
law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this
Security Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the
Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either
directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in
the Property, Borrower will pay such tax, with interest and
penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by its
counsel that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by
Borrower would be unlawful, taxable to Lender or unenforceable, or
would provide the basis for a defense of usury, then Lender shall
have the option, by notice of not less than 90 days, to declare the
Debt immediately due and payable.
6.
No Credits on Account of the
Debt .
Borrower
shall not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit on account
of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed
against the Property, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or
claimed from the assessed value of the Property for real estate tax
purposes by reason of this Security Instrument or the Debt.
If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Lender
shall have the option, by notice of not less than 90 days, to
declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
7.
Further Acts, Etc
. Borrower shall, at
its sole cost, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every
such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments,
notices of assignment, transfers and assurances as Lender shall,
from time to time, require, for the better assuring, conveying,
assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property
and rights hereby mortgaged, given, granted, bargained, sold,
alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned and
hypothecated or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which
Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign
to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the
performance of the terms of this Security Instrument, or for
filing, registering or recording this Security Instrument or for
facilitating the sale and transfer of the Loan and the Loan
Documents in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction as
described in Section 9.1 of the Loan Agreement. Upon
foreclosure, the appointment of a receiver or any other relevant
action, Borrower shall, at its sole cost, cooperate fully and
completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any license,
permit, agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the
operation of the Property. Borrower grants to Lender an
irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the
purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and
remedies available to Lender at law and in equity, including such
rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to this
paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
immediately preceding sentence, Lender shall not execute any
document as attorney-in-fact of Borrower unless (x) Borrower
shall have failed or refused to execute the same within five (5)
Business Days after Lender’s request therefor, or (y) in
Lender’s good faith determination it would be materially
prejudiced by the delay involved in making such a request.
Lender shall give prompt notice to Borrower of any exercise of the
power of attorney as provided for in this Paragraph 7, along with
copies of all documents executed in connection
therewith.
8.
Recording of Security Instrument,
Etc . Borrower forthwith
upon the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument and
thereafter, from time to time, shall cause this Security
Instrument, and any security instrument creating a lien or security
interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each
instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded
in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present
or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect
the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of
Lender in, the Property. Borrower shall pay all filing,
registration or recording fees, all expenses incident to the
preparation, execution and acknowledgment of and all federal,
state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, documentary
stamps, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection
with the execution and delivery of, this Security Instrument, any
Security Instrument supplemental hereto, any security instrument
with respect to the Property or any instrument of further
assurance, except where prohibited by law so to do. Borrower
shall hold harmless and indemnify Lender, its successors and
assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition
of any tax on the making or recording of this Security
Instrument.
