COVENANTS . Grantor warrants, represents and covenants to
Trustee and Beneficiary as follows:
3.1 Title to Mortgaged Property and Lien of
this Instrument . Grantor owns the Mortgaged Property free and
clear of any liens, claims or interests, except the Permitted
Encumbrances. This Deed of Trust creates a valid, enforceable
second priority lien and security interest against the Mortgaged
Property subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.
3.2 Second Lien Status . Grantor shall
preserve and protect the second lien and security interest status
of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents. If any lien or
security interest other than a Permitted Encumbrance is asserted
against the Mortgaged Property, Grantor shall promptly, and at its
expense, (a) give Beneficiary a detailed written notice of
such lien or security interest (including origin, amount and other
terms), and (b) pay the underlying claim in full or take such
other action so as to cause it to be released or contest the same
in compliance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement
(including the requirement of providing a bond or other security
satisfactory to Beneficiary to the extent required by the Credit
Agreement).
3.3 Payment and Performance . Grantor
shall pay and perform the Obligations when due under the Loan
Documents to which it is a party and shall perform the Covenants
under the Loan Documents to which it is a party in full when they
are required to be performed.
3.4 Replacement of Fixtures and
Personalty . Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement,
Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary, not to be unreasonably withheld, permit any of the
Fixtures or Personalty to be removed at any time from the Land or
Improvements, unless the removed item is removed temporarily for
maintenance and repair or, if removed permanently, is immaterial or
is obsolete and in either case, is replaced by an article of equal
or better suitability and value, owned by Grantor subject to the
liens and security interests
3
of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan
Documents, and free and clear of any other lien or security
interest except such as may be first approved in writing by
Beneficiary.
3.5 Maintenance of Rights of Way, Easements
and Licenses . Grantor shall maintain, in the ordinary course
of business, all rights of way, easements, grants, privileges,
licenses, certificates, permits, entitlements and franchises
necessary for the use of the Mortgaged Property and will not,
without the prior consent of Beneficiary, not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, consent to any public restriction (including
any zoning ordinance) or private restriction as to the use of the
Mortgaged Property which restriction is reasonably likely to
materially and adversely affect the current use of the Mortgaged
Property. Grantor shall comply in all material respects with all
restrictive covenants affecting the Mortgaged Property, and all
zoning ordinances and other public or private restrictions as to
the use of the Mortgaged Property.
3.6 Inspection . Grantor shall permit
Beneficiary and its agents, representatives and employees, upon
reasonable prior notice to Grantor and during normal business hours
(except in the case of an emergency, in which case no notice shall
be necessary), to inspect the Mortgaged Property and conduct such
environmental, to the extent Beneficiary believes that there is a
reasonable possibility that a release of Materials of Environmental
Concern in violation of Environmental Laws may have occurred or is
occurring, engineering and other studies as Beneficiary may
reasonably require, provided that such inspections and studies
shall not materially interfere with the use and operation of the
Mortgaged Property. Beneficiary shall indemnify Grantor for all
losses relating to its or its agent’s gross negligence and
willful misconduct in connection with such inspection and
studies.
3.7 Other Covenants . All of the
covenants in the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by
reference.
4. DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE
4.1 Remedies . During the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at
Beneficiary’s election and by or through Trustee or
otherwise, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies
and recourses:
4.1.1 Acceleration. To the extent
permitted by the Credit Agreement, declare the Obligations to be
immediately due and payable, without further notice, presentment,
protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration,
demand or action of any nature whatsoever (each of which hereby is
expressly waived by Grantor), whereupon the same shall become
immediately due and payable.
4.1.2 Entry on Mortgaged Property.
Enter the Mortgaged Property and take exclusive possession thereof
and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto. If Grantor
remains in possession of the Mortgaged Property after an Event of
Default and without Beneficiary’s prior written consent,
Beneficiary may invoke any legal remedies to dispossess
Grantor.
4.1.3 Operation of Mortgaged
Property. Hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use
the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as
Beneficiary may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making
such repairs, alterations, additions and
4
improvements and taking other actions, from time
to time, as Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable), and apply
all Rents and other amounts collected by Trustee in connection
therewith in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.7 hereof.
4.1.4 Remedies of Beneficiary upon
Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Beneficiary
may, at its option, without prior notice to Grantor, declare the
Obligations to be immediately due and payable in full; and, on
application of Beneficiary, Trustee shall foreclose this Deed of
Trust in any manner permitted by North Carolina law, including
selling the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof at public sale
to the last and highest bidder for cash, free of any equity of
redemption, homestead, dower, curtesy or other state or federal
exemption, all of which are expressly waived by Grantor, after
compliance with applicable North Carolina laws relating to
foreclosure sales under power of sale; and Trustee shall execute
and deliver to the purchaser a Trustee’s deed conveying the
Mortgaged Property so sold without any covenant or warranty,
expressed or implied. The recitals in the Trustee’s deed
shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made
therein. The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied in the
manner and in the order prescribed by applicable North Carolina
law, it being agreed that the expenses of any such sale shall
include a commission of five per cent of the gross sales price to
Trustee for holding such sale and for all services performed by him
hereunder excluding expenses incurred in making sale. In the event
a foreclosure suit or special proceeding is commenced, and no sale
is held, then the Grantor shall pay to the Trustee: (a) all
expenses incurred by Trustee and (b) a partial commission
computed on five percent of the balance of the unpaid Obligations.
Beneficiary may bid and become the purchaser at any sale under this
Deed of Trust. At any such sale Trustee may at his election require
the successful bidder immediately to deposit with Trustee cash in
an amount equal to all or any part of the successful bid and notice
of any such requirement need not be included in the advertisement
of the notice of such sale. If foreclosure proceedings are
instituted under this Deed of Trust, Trustee is hereby authorized
to take posses
