TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Premises
unto Trustee in fee simple forever, upon the trusts and for the
uses and purposes hereinafter set out;
And Grantor covenants with Trustee
that Grantor is seized of the Premises in fee and has the right to
convey the same in fee simple; that the same are free and clear of
all encumbrances except as set forth in the loan policy of title
insurance covering the Land issued to Beneficiary as of the date of
the recording of this Deed of Trust; that Grantor has done no act
to encumber the Premises and, that Grantor will warrant and defend
the title to the same against the lawful claims of all persons
whomsoever, and that Grantor will execute such further assurances
of title to the Premises as may be required.
THIS CONVEYANCE IS MADE UPON THIS
SPECIAL TRUST, that if Grantor shall pay the Obligations in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and shall comply
with all the covenants, terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust,
this conveyance shall be released and cancelled of record. Grantor
hereby further covenants and agrees with Trustee and Beneficiary as
follows:
1. Loan Agreement . The terms
and provisions of the Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by
reference. An Event of Default under the Loan Agreement shall for
all purposes constitute a default hereunder. In the event of any
default under this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may, at its option,
defer application by it to Trustee to sell the Premises and may
take action under and invoke such other rights and remedies as may
be provided in the Loan Agreement, in this Deed of Trust or in any
other document or instrument evidencing or securing the
Obligations. If there is any conflict between the Loan Agreement
and this Deed of Trust, then the Loan Agreement shall
control.
2. Payment and Performance of
Obligations; Impositions . Grantor will pay and perform, as and
when due, the Obligations and, in all events prior to delinquency,
all real and
3
personal property taxes and assessments, general
and special, and all other taxes and assessments of any kind or
nature whatsoever, including without limitation non-governmental
levies or assessments (hereinafter referred to as “
Impositions ”), such as owner association dues or
charges or fees and maintenance charges which are assessed or
imposed upon the Premises. Grantor shall upon demand furnish to
Beneficiary satisfactory evidence of payment of the Impositions and
shall authorize the appropriate governmental official to deliver to
Beneficiary at any time a written statement of the taxes and
assessments against the Premises. If at any time after the date
hereof, there shall be assessed or imposed (the following hereafter
referenced to as the “ Additional Impositions ”)
(a) a tax or assessment on the Premises in lieu of or in addition
to the Impositions payable by Grantor or (b) a license fee, tax or
assessment imposed on Beneficiary and measured by or based in whole
or in part upon the amount of the outstanding Obligations secured
hereby, Grantor shall pay and discharge all such taxes, assessments
or fees before they become delinquent. If Grantor fails to pay such
amounts prior to delinquency and Grantor has not previously
provided notice to Beneficiary of Grantor’s good faith
protest of any such Impositions or Additional Impositions and
evidence that Grantor has taken appropriate measures to avoid the
accrual of penalties for failure to pay any such Impositions or
Additional Impositions, Beneficiary may, at its option, pay any
such Impositions or Additional Impositions of which payment, amount
and validity thereof the official receipt shall be conclusive
evidence, and any amounts so expended shall immediately become
debts due by Grantor, shall bear interest at the rate specified in
the Loan Agreement, and such payment shall be secured by this Deed
of Trust.
3. Insurance . (a) The
Grantor will keep the buildings and other improvements now or
hereafter on the Land insured against loss and damage by fire or
other casualty in accordance with the Loan Agreement. In the event
of a transfer of the Premises, including a transfer by foreclosure,
exercise of the power of sale, or deed in lieu of foreclosure,
Grantor’s interest in the insurance policies referred to
above and any return premiums in connection therewith shall
automatically be transferred to the successor in title to
Grantor’s interest in the Premises.
(b) In the event of loss, Grantor
will give immediate notice by mail to Beneficiary who, as mortgagee
or additional insured, as appropriate to the policy, may make proof
of loss if not made promptly by Grantor, and each insurance company
concerned shall hereby be authorized and directed to make payment
for such loss directly to Beneficiary instead of to Grantor and
Beneficiary jointly. If the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be
damaged by fire or other hazard against which insurance is held,
proceeds of insurance shall, to the extent of the Obligations then
remaining unpaid, be paid to Beneficiary, and, at its option, may
be applied either in such a manner so as to reduce the Obligations
or to the restoration or repair of the Improvements.
(c) If any portion of the
Improvements is located in a special flood hazard area according to
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“ FEMA
”), then Grantor must maintain a flood insurance policy in
the amount of the Obligations plus the outstanding principal
balance of any senior liens on the Premises or the replacement
value of the Improvements located in a special flood hazard area,
whichever is less. If at any time during the term of the Credit
Documents, the Improvements are classified by FEMA as being located
in a special flood hazard area, flood insurance will be mandatory.
Should this occur, federal law requires Beneficiary to notify
Grantor of the reclassification. If, within 45 days of receipt of
notification
4
from Beneficiary that any portion of the
Improvements has been reclassified by the FEMA as being located in
a special flood hazard area, Grantor has not provided sufficient
evidence of flood insurance, Beneficiary is mandated under federal
law to purchase flood insurance on behalf of Grantor, and any
amounts so expended shall immediately become debts of Grantor,
shall bear interest at the Default Rate specified in the Loan
Agreement, and payment thereof shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.
4. Maintenance of Premises;
Compliance with Laws . Grantor will keep the Premises in good
order, repair and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and
shall not commit or permit any waste with respect to any of the
Premises. Grantor also will comply with all applicable laws,
statutes, ordinances, codes, judicial and administrative decisions
(including without limitation and as applicable, all such laws,
statutes, judicial and administrative decisions relating to the
physical accessibility requirements of Title III of the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990 (as amended) and the implementing
regulations promulgated thereunder by the Department of Justice and
the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines
(ADAAG) associated therewith and the applicable ANSI Standards
under the Fair Housing Act (as amended) and all applicable
regulations) of all applicable state, federal or local governmental
entities. Grantor will not make material changes to the Premises,
change the use of the Premises, or consent to a change in zoning of
the Premises without Beneficiary’s prior written consent.
Grantor shall immediately provide notice to Beneficiary of any
proposed zoning changes affecting the Premises.
5. Liens; Conveyance of
Premises . (a) Except for Permitted Liens, Grantor will not
sell, convey, or transfer the Premises, or any part thereof or
interest therein, legal or equitable, without the prior written
consent of Beneficiary.
(b) The Grantor agrees to ensure
that no liens other than Permitted Liens are filed against the
Premises by reason of any services or materials supplied thereto,
whether such services or materials are supplied to Grantor or to
some person, firm or corporation in possession of all or a part of
the Premises through or under Grantor; provided that the
Grantor shall not be in breach of this covenant if any such liens
are cancelled or appropriately bonded within thirty (30) days of
the filing thereof.
6. Hazardous Material .
Grantor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.13 of the
Loan Agreement are true, accurate and complete with respect to
Grantor and the Premises, as applicable. Grantor shall comply with
the provisions of Section 5.4 of the Loan Agreement, and Grantor
shall indemnify Beneficiary pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Loan
Agreement. Beneficiary shall have, and Grantor hereby grants to
Beneficiary, the right to enter upon the Premises, with reasonable
advance notice to Grantor, to verify compliance by Grantor with the
terms of this Section 6 and to conduct such environmental
assessments and audits as Beneficiary shall reasonably deem
advisable; provided , however , GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT SHALL HAVE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL HAZARDOUS WASTE
HANDLING PRACTICES AND ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES, AND GRANTOR HAS
FULL DECISION MAKING POWER WITH RESPECT THERETO.
5
7. Leases . (a) Grantor will
faithfully perform the covenants of the lessor contained in any
present or future lease by it of any part or all of the Premises,
and in pursuance thereof, will neither do anything nor neglect to
do anything, nor permit anything to be done which would cause the
modification or termination of any of such leases, or of the
obligation of any lessee, his or its successors and assigns, or the
Rents provided for therein or the interest of the lessor or of
Beneficiary therein or thereunder resulting in a Material Adverse
Effect. Grantor will not assign such leases or the Rents therefrom
or any part of such leases or Rents to anyone other than
Beneficiary without the prior written consent of Beneficiary (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor collect such Rents (other
than a security deposit) for more than one month in advance, nor do
any other act whereby the lien of this Deed of Trust may be
impaired in value or quality. Grantor will not execute a mortgage,
deed of trust or other instrument or permit a lien which may be or
become superior to any existing lease of any part of the Premises,
except as expressly permitted in this Deed of Trust, the Loan
Agreement or the Security Agreement. All material leases affecting
the Premises entered into after the date hereof shall be on forms,
with tenants and on terms submitted to Beneficiary for its prior
written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld conditioned or
delayed), and shall be made subordinate or superior to the lien of
this Deed of Trust at the option of Beneficiary. Grantor agrees not
to execute any lease, modification of lease, termination of lease
or extension of lease of all or part of the Premises without first
obtaining Beneficiary’s prior review and written approval
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)
of the form, content and lessee of said lease and the form and
content of said modification of lease, termination of lease or
extension of lease. Grantor will advise Beneficiary of the
execution of any lease of all or part of the Premises and will
assign such lease to Beneficiary in form and substance acceptable
to Beneficiary as additional security for the Obligations. In
addition, Grantor agrees to provide Beneficiary with a rent roll
and copies of any and all present and future leases of the Premises
or any portion thereof and any modification or extension of leases
as same may be requested by Beneficiary from time to time, together
with all supplementary information relating to the status of such
leases.
Grantor does hereby assign and set
over to Beneficiary all leases affecting the Premises and all Rents
of the Premises, whether under leases or tenancies now existing or
hereafter created, and whether such Rents are to become due, are
due or have been collected, and all general intangibles in
connection therewith, including without limitation such Rents as
are due and unpaid from time to time, collected Rents and proceeds
of Rents, accounts into which all or any of such Rents are
deposited from time to time, and all accounts and general
intangibles of Grantor related in any manner to the Premises or the
operation thereof, as additional security for the Obligations, as
well as all funds received for the purpose of keeping said Premises
in proper repair, and Beneficiary is given a prior and continuing
lien thereon. Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary its attorney to
collect such Rents with or without suit, and to apply the same,
less expenses of collection, to the Obligations and to repairs in
such manner as Beneficiary may elect; provided , that until
the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the cure thereof,
Grantor may continue to collect and enjoy such Rents as they fall
due without accountability to Beneficiary, except as Grantor is
herein required to account. This assignment and power of attorney
shall apply to all leases, security deposits, rentals and other
amounts received from tenants in the future, whether by present or
by future owners of the Premises; shall be in addition to other
remedies herein provided for in Event of Default; and may be put
into effect independently or concurrently with any of such
remedies, but no liability shall attach to Beneficiary on account
of failure or inability to collect any such Rents. If at any time
there is any conflict between any
6
provision of this Deed of Trust and any
provision of the aforesaid leases, then such provision of this Deed
of Trust shall govern and apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall be deemed to grant a greater interest in or
provide greater rights to Beneficiary with respect to any general
intangibles, accounts or other personalty than are granted or
provided to Beneficiary under the Security Agreement or the Loan
Agreement.
8. Right to Cure; Protection of
Security . If Grantor shall fail in any of the covenants and
provisions contained in this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may (but
shall not be obligated to) take any action Beneficiary deems
necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any such default or
failure. Beneficiary shall have the right to enter upon the
Premises to such extent and as often as Beneficiary, in its
reasonable discretion, deems necessary or desirable in order to
prevent or cure any such default or failure by Grantor. In
addition, if any legal proceeding (such as bankruptcy,
condemnation, forfeiture or other legal or regulatory proceeding)
that may affect Beneficiary’s rights or interests in the
Premises (or any part thereof) is commenced, Beneficiary may act to
protect or preserve such rights or interests (including, without
limitation, the employment of an attorney or other
professional(s)). Beneficiary may expend such sums of money as
Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, deems necessary for any such
purpose, and Grantor hereby agrees to pay to Beneficiary,
immediately upon demand, all sums so expended by Beneficiary,
together with interest thereon from the date of each such payment
at the Default Rate. All sums so expended by Beneficiary, and the
interest thereon, shall be added to and secured by the lien of this
Deed of Trust.
9. Condemnation . Upon
condemnation of the Premises or any part thereof, this Deed of
Trust shall become a lien, charge and encumbrance upon the proceeds
or award realized as a result of any such proceeding or of any
settlement or payment made in lieu of any such proceeding (the
“ Condemnation Proceeds ”). Grantor hereby
grants to Beneficiary a security interest in any Condemnation
Proceeds and hereby agrees to execute such further assignments of
the Condemnation Proceeds as Beneficiary may require. Grantor
further covenants and agrees that Beneficiary may (and is hereby
authorized and empowered but not required to) collect and receive
any Condemnation Proceeds and, if received by Grantor, Grantor
shall pay over and deliver immediately to Beneficiary all
Condemnation Proceeds to be held by Beneficiary and applied as
follows:
(a) In the event the entire Premises
shall be taken by condemnation or in settlement of any threat of
condemnation, then any Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid to
Beneficiary and applied in payment in whole or in part of the
Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, and any excess
shall be delivered to the parties legally entitled
thereto.
(b) In the event of a partial taking
of the Premises, the portion of the Condemnation Proceeds necessary
to prevent impairment of the security of this Deed of Trust, as
determined in Beneficiary’s reasonable discretion, shall be
set aside, withheld or paid over to Beneficiary and applied to the
Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, and the excess of
such award or proceeds shall be delivered to Grantor or other
parties legally entitled thereto. Upon any partial taking of the
Premises, this Deed of Trust shall continue in full force as
security for the unpaid portion of the Obligations secured hereby.
Upon any partial taking of the Premises, Grantor covenants with
Beneficiary to restore the Premises as nearly as possible to the
condition thereof immediately prior to such taking and to apply
Grantor’s portion of any Condemnation Proceeds
7
together with any other necessary funds to
complete and pay for the costs of restoration. Any amounts applied
to principal of the Obligations shall be applied to principal last
maturing thereon. The application or release by Beneficiary of any
Condemnation Proceeds under this Section shall not cure or waive
any default or notice of default under this Deed of Trust or
invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
(c) Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Deed of Trust, (i) up
