1.2
Secured Obligations .
(a) Mortgagor
makes the grant, conveyance, and mortgage set forth in
Section 1.1 above, and grants the security interest set
forth in Section 3 below for the purpose of securing the
following obligations (the “Secured Obligations”) in
any order of priority that Mortgagee may choose:
(i) Payment
of all obligations at any time owing under the Notes under the
terms of the Term Loan Agreement; and
(ii) Payment
and performance of all obligations of Mortgagor under this
Mortgage; and
(iii) Payment
and performance of all obligations of Mortgagor under the Term Loan
Agreement; and
(iv) Payment
and performance of any obligations of Mortgagor under any Loan
Documents which are executed by Mortgagor; and
(v) Payment
and performance of all obligations of Mortgagor arising from any
Rate Management Transactions entered into with the Administrative
Agent or any of the Lenders in connection with the Term Loan
Agreement. Rate Management Transactions shall mean an
interest rate hedging program through the purchase by Mortgagor
from the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in connection
with an interest rate swap, cap or such other interest rate
protection product with respect to the Term Loan Agreement;
and
(vi) Payment
and performance of all future advances and other obligations that
Mortgagor or any successor in ownership of all or part of the
Property may agree to pay and/or perform (whether as principal,
surety or guarantor) for the benefit of Mortgagee, when a writing
evidences the parties’ agreement that the advance or
obligation be secured by this Mortgage; and
(vii) Payment
and performance of all modifications, amendments, extensions, and
renewals, however evidenced, of any of the Secured
Obligations.
(b) All
persons who may have or acquire an interest in all or any part of
the Property will be considered to have notice of, and will be
bound by, the terms of the Secured Obligations and each other
agreement or instrument made or entered into in connection with
each of the Secured Obligations. Such terms include any
provisions in the Notes or the Term Loan Agreement which permit
borrowing, repayment and reborrowing, or which provide that the
interest rate on one or more of the Secured Obligations may vary
from time to time.
2.1
Assignment . Mortgagor hereby irrevocably,
absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns to Mortgagee all
rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income, accounts,
proceeds and other benefits of the Property, whether now due, past
due or to become due, including all prepaid rents and security
deposits (some or all collectively, as the context may require,
“Rents”). This is an absolute assignment,
not an assignment for security only.
2.2
Grant of License . Mortgagee hereby confers upon
Mortgagor a license (“License”) to collect and retain
the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Event of
Default, as defined in Section 6.2 below, shall exist and be
continuing. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Mortgagee shall have the right, which it may choose to
exercise in its sole discretion, to terminate this License without
notice to or demand upon Mortgagor, and without regard to the
adequacy of Mortgagee’s security under this
Mortgage.
2.3
Collection and Application of Rents . Subject to
the License granted to Mortgagor under Section 2.2 above,
Mortgagee has the right, power and authority to collect any and all
Rents. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee its
attorney-in-fact to perform any and all of the following acts, if
and at the times when Mortgagee in its sole discretion may so
choose:
(a) Demand,
receive and enforce payment of any and all Rents; or
(b) Give
receipts, releases and satisfactions for any and all Rents;
or
(c) Sue
either in the name of Mortgagor or in the name of Mortgagee for any
and all Rents.
Mortgagee and
Mortgagor agree that the mere recordation of the assignment granted
herein entitles Mortgagee immediately to collect and receive rents
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in
Section 6.2 , without first taking any acts of enforcement
under applicable law, such as, but not limited to, providing notice
to Mortgagor, filing foreclosure proceedings, or seeking and/or
obtaining the appointment of a receiver. Further,
Mortgagee’s right to the Rents does not depend on whether or
not Mortgagee takes possession of the Property as permitted under
Subsection 6.3(c) . In Mortgagee’s sole
discretion, Mortgagee may choose to collect Rents either with or
without taking possession of the Property. Mortgagee
shall apply all Rents collected by it in the manner provided under
Section 6.6 . If an Event of Default occurs while
Mortgagee is in possession of all or part of the Property and is
collecting and applying Rents as permitted under this Mortgage,
Mortgagee and any receiver shall nevertheless be
entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any
of them under this Mortgage and at law or in equity.
2.4
Mortgagee Not Responsible . Under no
circumstances shall Mortgagee have any duty to produce Rents from
the Property. Regardless of whether or not Mortgagee, in
person or by agent, takes actual possession of the Premises and
Improvements, unless Mortgagee agrees in writing to the contrary,
Mortgagee is not and shall not be deemed to be:
(a) A
“mortgagee in possession” for any purpose;
or
(b) Responsible
for performing any of the obligations of the lessor under any
lease; or
(c) Responsible
for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any
dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence
in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property,
unless caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad
faith of Mortgagee; or
(d) Liable
in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or
operation of all or any part of it.
2.5
Leasing . Mortgagor shall not accept any deposit
or prepayment of rents under the leases for any rental period
exceeding one (1) month without Mortgagee’s prior written
consent. Mortgagor shall not lease the Property or any part of it
except strictly in accordance with the Term Loan
Agreement.
3.
Grant of Security Interest .
3.1
Security Agreement . The parties intend for this
Mortgage to create a lien on the Property, and an absolute
assignment of the Rents, all in favor of Mortgagee. The
parties acknowledge that some of the Property and some or all of
the Rents may be determined under applicable law to be personal
property or fixtures. To the extent that any Property or
Rents may be or be determined to be personal property, Mortgagor as
debtor hereby grants Mortgagee as secured party a security interest
in all such Property and Rents, to secure payment and performance
of the Secured Obligations. This Mortgage constitutes a
security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State
in which the Property is located, covering all such Property and
Rents.
3.2
Financing Statements . Mortgagor hereby
authorizes Mortgagee to file one or more financing
statements. In addition, Mortgagor shall execute such
other documents as Mortgagee may from time to time require to
perfect or continue the perfection of Mortgagee’s security
interest in any Property or Rents. As provided in
Section 5.10 below, Mortgagor shall pay all fees and costs
that Mortgagee may incur in filing such documents in public offices
and in obtaining such record searches as Mortgagee may reasonably
require. In case Mortgagor fails to execute any
financing statements or other documents for the perfection or
continuation of any security interest, Mortgagor hereby appoints
Mortgagee 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 Mortgage or the rights or
obligations of the parties under it.
This Mortgage constitutes a financing statement
filed as a fixture filing under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code in the State in which the Property is located, as amended or
recodified from time to time, covering any Property which now is or
later may become fixtures attached to the Premises or
Improvements. For this purpose, the respective addresses
of Mortgagor, as debtor, and Mortgagee, as secured party, are as
set forth in the preambles of this Mortgage.
5.
Rights and Duties of the Parties .
5.1
Representations and Warranties . Mortgagor
represents and warrants that:
(a) Glimcher
Mortgagor lawfully possesses and holds fee simple title to that
portion of the Premises identified as the “Mall Parcel”
on Exhibit A and the Improvements located
thereon. GB Mortgagor lawfully possesses and holds fee
simple title to that part of the Premises identified as the
“Additional Parcel” on Exhibit A and the
Improvements located thereon.;
(b) Each
of Glimcher Mortgagor and GB Mortgagor has or will have good title
to its respective portion of the Property other than the Premises
and Improvements;
(c) Mortgagor
has the full and unlimited power, right and authority to encumber
the Property and assign the Rents;
(d) This
Mortgage creates a first and prior lien on the Property;
(e) The
Property includes all property and rights which may be reasonably
necessary or desirable to promote the present and any
reasonable future beneficial use and enjoyment of the Premises and
Improvements;
(f) Except
for certain items of leased office equipment used in the management
office at the Premises, Mortgagor owns any Property which is
personal property free and clear of any security agreements,
reservations of title or conditional sales contracts, and there is
no financing statement affecting such personal property on file in
any public office; and
(g) Mortgagor’s
place of business, or its chief executive office if it has more
than one place of business, is located at the address specified
below.
5.2
Taxes, and Assessments . Mortgagor shall, prior
to delinquency, pay or cause to be paid each installment of all
taxes and special assessments of every kind, now or hereafter
levied against the Property or any part thereof, without notice or
demand, and shall provide Mortgagee with evidence of the payment of
same. Mortgagor shall pay all taxes and assessments
which may be levied upon Mortgagee’s or the Lenders' interest
herein or upon this Mortgage or the debt secured hereby (excluding
any income taxes or similar charges imposed upon Mortgagee or the
Lenders), without regard to any law that may be enacted imposing
payment of the whole or any part thereof upon the Mortgagee or any
Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section to the contrary, Mortgagor shall have the right to pay or
cause to be paid any such tax or special assessment under protest
or to otherwise contest any such tax or special assessment but only
if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of
such tax or special assessment so contested and also prevent the
sale or forfeiture of the Property or any part thereof or any
interest therein, (ii) Mortgagor promptly notifies Mortgagee in
writing of its intent to contest such tax or special assessment,
and (iii) if so requested in writing by Mortgagee, Mortgagor has
deposited security in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to
Mortgagee, and increases the amount of such security so deposited
promptly after Mortgagee’s request
therefor. Mortgagor shall prosecute or cause the
prosecution of all such contest actions in good faith and with due
diligence.
5.3
Performance of Secured Obligations. Mortgagor
shall promptly pay and perform each Secured Obligation in
accordance with its terms.
5.4
Liens, Charges and Encumbrances . Mortgagor shall
immediately discharge any lien on the Property which Mortgagee has
not consented to in writing.
5.5
Damages, Restoration, and Insurance Proceeds . As
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing,
all insurance proceeds for losses at the Property of less than
$500,000.00 shall be adjusted with and payable to the
Mortgagor. In case of loss, Mortgagee shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to participate in and reasonably
approve the settlement of any insurance claim in excess of
$500,000.00 and all claims thereafter, and Mortgagee is at all
times authorized to collect and receive any insurance money for
those claims which Mortgagee is entitled to approve the settlement
of hereunder.
At the election of Mortgagee, such insurance
proceeds may be applied to reduce the outstanding balance of the
indebtedness under the Term Loan Agreement or to pay for costs of
repair and restoration of the Property; provided, however, that so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing,
Mortgagee shall make such insurance proceeds available to pay for
such costs of repair and restoration. If Mortgagee is
entitled to and does elect to apply insurance proceeds in payment
or reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby, then Mortgagee
shall reduce the then outstanding balance of the Advances by the
amount of the insurance proceeds received and so applied by
Mortgagee. In the event that Mortgagee does not elect to
apply the insurance proceeds to the indebtedness secured hereby as
set forth above, such insurance proceeds shall be used to reimburse
Mortgagor for the cost of rebuilding or restoring the
Premises. The Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt
as to be substantially the same quality and character as the
Premises were prior to such damage or destruction in accordance
with the original plans and specifications or to such other
condition as Mortgagee shall reasonably approve in
writing.
If Mortgagee elects to make the proceeds
available for repair and restoration, any request by Mortgagor for
a disbursement by Mortgagee of fire or casualty insurance proceeds
and funds deposited by Mortgagor with Mortgagee pursuant to this
Section 5.5 shall be treated by Mortgagee as if such
request were for an Advance under the Term Loan Agreement, and the
disbursement thereof shall be conditioned upon the Borrower’s
compliance with and satisfaction of the same conditions precedent
as would be applicable under the Term Loan Agreement for such an
Advance. Additionally, such disbursement shall also be
conditioned upon Borrower's providing to Administrative Agent:
updated title insurance, satisfactory evidence, as reasonably
determined by Administrative Agent, that the Premises shall be so
restored or rebuilt as to be of at least equal value and quality
and substantially the same character as the Premises were prior to
such damage or destruction in accordance with the original plans
and specifications or to such other condition as Administrative
Agent shall reasonably approve in writing, satisfactory evidence of
the estimated cost of completion thereof and with such
architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractors’
sworn statements and other evidence of cost and of payments as
Administrative Agent may reasonably require and
approve. The undisbursed balance of insurance proceeds
shall at all times be sufficient to pay for the cost of completion
of the work free and clear of liens and if such proceeds are
insufficient, Mortgagor shall deposit the amount of such deficiency
with Mortgagee prior to the disbursement by Mortgagee of any
insurance proceeds.
5.6
Condemnation Proceeds . Mortgagor hereby assigns,
transfers and sets over unto Mortgagee its entire interest in the
proceeds (the “ Condemnation Proceeds ”) of any
award or any claim for damages for any of the Property taken or
damaged under the power of eminent domain or by condemnation or any
transaction in lieu of condemnation (“ Condemnation
”), unless, notwithstanding the forgoing, such taking, damage
or condemnation does not cause a material diminution in the value
of the Premises in which case all Condemnation Proceeds for damages
to the Property shall be payable to the
Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall make available to Mortgagor
the Condemnation Proceeds for the restoration of the Premises if
Mortgagor satisfies all of the conditions set forth in this
Section 5.6 hereof for disbursement of insurance
proceeds. In all other cases Mortgagee shall have the
right, at its option, to apply the Condemnation Proceeds upon or in
reduction of the indebtedness secured hereby, whether due or
not. If Mortgagee is entitled to and does elect to apply
Condemnation Proceeds upon or in reduction of the indebtedness
secured hereby, then Mortgagee shall reduce the then outstanding
balance of the Advances under the Term Loan Agreement by the amount
of the Condemnation Proceeds received and so applied by
Mortgagee. If the Condemnation Proceeds are required to
be used as aforesaid to reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of
rebuilding or restoring buildings or improvements on the Property,
or if Mortgagee elects that the Condemnation Proceeds be so used,
and the buildings and other improvements shall be rebuilt or
restored, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid out in the same
manner as is provided in this Section 5.6 hereof for
the payment of insurance proceeds toward the cost of rebuilding or
restoration of such buildings and other
improvements. Any surplus which may remain out of the
Condemnation Proceeds after payment of such cost of rebuilding or
restoration shall, at the option of Mortgagee, be applied on
account of the indebtedness secured hereby or be paid to any other
party entitled thereto.
5.7
Maintenance and Preservation of Property .
(a) Mortgagor
shall insure the Property as required by Section 6.6 of the Term
Loan Agreement and keep the Property in good condition and
repair.
(b) Except
as required by the terms of any lease approved by Administrative
Agent, Mortgagor shall not remove or demolish the Property or any
material part of it in any way, or materially alter, restore or add
to the Property, or initiate or allow any material change or
variance in any zoning or other Premises use classification which
adversely affects the Property or any material part of it, except
with Mortgagee’s express prior written consent in each
instance; the term “materially” or
“material” as used in this Section 5.7(b) shall
mean having a monetary effect in an amount greater than
$4,000,000.
(c) Mortgagor
shall not commit or allow any act upon or use of the Property which
would violate: (i) any applicable Laws or order of
any Governmental Authority, whether now existing or later to be
enacted and whether foreseen or unforeseen; or (ii) any public
or private covenant, condition, restriction or equitable servitude
affecting the Property. Mortgagor shall not bring or
keep any article on the Property or cause or allow any condition to
exist on it, if that could invalidate or would be prohibited by any
insurance coverage required to be maintained by Mortgagor on the
Property or any part of it under the Term Loan
Agreement.
(d) Mortgagor
shall not commit or allow waste of the Property, including those
acts or omissions characterized under the Term Loan Agreement as
waste which arises out of Materials of Environmental
Concern.
(e) Mortgagor
shall perform all other acts which from the character or use of the
Property may be reasonably necessary to maintain and preserve its
value.
5.8
Releases, Extensions, Modifications and Additional Security
. From time to time, Mortgagee may perform any of the
following acts without incurring any liability or giving notice to
any person:
(a) Release
any person liable for payment of any Secured Obligation;
(b) Extend
the time for payment, or otherwise alter the terms of payment, of
any Secured Obligation;
(c) Accept

any Secured Obligation, whether evidenced by deeds of trust,
mortgages, security agreements or any other instruments of
security;
(d) Alter,
substitute or release any property securing the Secured
Obligations;
(e) Consent

5.9
Release . If Mortgagor shall fully pay all
principal and interest on the Notes, and all other indebtedness
secured hereby and comply with all of the other terms and
provisions hereof to be performed and complied with by Mortgagor,
Mortgagee, upon written request of Mortgagor, shall release this
Mortgage and the lien thereof by proper instrument upon payment and
discharge of the amounts required under the Term Loan Agreement and
payment of any filing fee in connection with such
release. Mortgagor shall pay any costs of preparation
and recordation of such release. In addition, Mortgagee, upon
written request of Mortgagor, shall from time to time execute and
deliver partial releases of this Mortgage with respect to certain
unimproved portions of the Premises on the terms described in
Article XI of the Term Loan Agreement upon payment and discharge of
any amounts that may required under such Article of the Term Loan
Agreement with respect to the portion of the Premises being so
released and payment of any filing fee in connection with such
partial release.
5.10
Compensation, Exculpation, Indemnification .
(a) Mortgagor
agrees to pay fees required by and pursuant to the Term Loan
Agreement, for any services that Mortgagee may render in connection
with this Mortgage, including Mortgagee’s providing a
statement of the Secured Obligations or providing the release
pursuant to Section 5.9 above. Mortgagor
shall also pay or reimburse all of Mortgagee’s costs and
expenses which may be incurred in rendering any such
services. Mortgagor further agrees to pay or reimburse
Mortgagee for all costs, expenses and other advances which may be
incurred or made by Mortgagee in any efforts to enforce any terms
of this Mortgage, including any rights or remedies afforded to
Mortgagee under Section 6.4 , whether any lawsuit is filed
or not, or in defending any action or proceeding arising under or
relating to this Mortgage, including attorneys’ fees and
other legal costs, costs of any Foreclosure Sale (as defined in
Subsection 6.4(i) below) and any cost of evidence of

through more than one Foreclosure Sale, Mortgagor shall pay all
