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.

9.             Right to Cure Defaults .   Upon the occurrence of any Ev
