The Mortgagor covenants with the Mortgagee as follows:

ARTICLE 1 

1.1.             Payment of Indebtedness.  The Mortgagor will pay the Note according to the tenor thereof and all other sums secured hereby promptly as the same shall become due.

3

 


 

1.2.             Monthly Deposits.  At Mortgagee’s option following a default of this Mortgage or a default under the Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined) after the expiration of all applicable notice and opportunity to cure provisions herein or therein, Mortgagor will deposit with the Mortgagee a sum which, in the estimation of the Mortgagee, shall be equal to one-twelfth of the annual taxes, assessments and insurance premiums due in connection with the ownership of the Premises.  The deposits shall be held by Mortgagee in a separate accounts (and not commingled with any other funds of Mortgagee) free of interest, and free of any liens or claims on the part of creditors of the Mortgagor and as part of the security of the Mortgagee, and shall be used by the Mortgagee to pay current taxes, assessments and insurance premiums on each Premises as the same accrue and are payable.  The deposits shall not be, nor be deemed to be, trust funds.  If the deposits are insufficient to pay the taxes, assessments and insurance premiums in full as the same become payable, the Mortgagor will deposit with the Mortgagee such additional sum or sums as may be required in order for the Mortgagee to pay such taxes and assessments in full.  Upon any default hereunder or under the Note or Loan Documents, which default is not cured during any applicable notice and cure period, the Mortgagee may, at its option, apply any money in the fund resulting from the deposits to the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby in such manner as it may elect.  In the event that there is a shortfall in the funds needed to satisfy the taxes and insurance premiums referenced herein, Mortgagor shall pay, within ten (10) calendar days’ notice of such deficiency, all sums required by Mortgagee to ensure the payment of the taxes, assessments and insurance premiums.

1.3.             Taxes, Liens and Other Charges

(a)             In the event of the passage of any state, federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation, subsequent to the date hereof, in any manner changing or modifying the laws now in force governing the taxation of debts secured by mortgages or the manner of collecting taxes so as to affect adversely the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor will promptly pay any such tax; if the Mortgagor fails to make such prompt payment or if any such state, federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation prohibits the Mortgagor from making such payment or would penalize the Mortgagee from making such payment or would penalize the Mortgagee if the Mortgagor makes such payment, then the entire balance of the principal sum secured by this Mortgage and all interest accrued thereon shall, without notice, immediately become due and payable at the option of the Mortgagee.

(b)             The Mortgagor will pay, before the same become delinquent, all taxes, liens, assessments and charges of every character already levied or assessed or that may hereafter be levied or assessed upon or against each Premises and all utility charges, whether public or private; and upon demand will furnish to the Mortgagee receipted bills evidencing such payment.

(d)             Mortgagor, at its expense, may contest, after prior written notice to Mortgagee, by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount, validity or application, in whole or in part, of any taxes, liens, assessments or charges levied or assessed upon the Premises or any mechanic’s, materialmen's, laborer’s, statutory or other lien filed against the Premises, so long as such proceedings operate to prevent the collection or other realization thereon and the sale or forfeiture of the Premises or any part thereof to satisfy the same or the impairment of Mortgagee’s lien; provided that (i) during such contest Mortgagor shall, at the option of Mortgagee, provide Mortgagee with security reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, assuring the payment of the Indebtedness and of any additional interest, charge, penalty or expense arising from or incurred as a result of such contest, and (ii) if at any time Mortgagee reasonably determines that

4

 


 

the payment of any obligation imposed upon Mortgagor under this Paragraph 1.3 shall become necessary to prevent either the sale or forfeiture of the Premises or any part thereof to satisfy the same or the imposition of any liability on Mortgagee, then Mortgagor shall immediately pay the same.

(c)              The Premises is not on any Hazardous Substance cleanup list of any governmental authority;

(d)              Mortgagor has not received a summons, citation, directive, letter or other communication, written or oral, from any governmental authority including, but not limited to any agency or department of the State where the Property is located or the United States government nor has any action ever been commenced or threatened by any governmental authority concerning any intentional or unintentional action or omission on Mortgagor’s part which resulted in the releasing, spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying or dumping of Hazardous Substances into or onto the Premises;

ARTICLE 2 

2.1.             Due on Sale or Further Encumbrance Clause.  In determining whether or not to make the loan secured hereby, Mortgagee examined the credit-worthiness of Mortgagor, found it acceptable and relied and continues to rely upon same as the means of repayment of the loan.  Mortgagee also evaluated the background and experience of Mortgagor in owning and operating property such as the Premises, found it acceptable and relied and continues to rely upon same as the means of maintaining the value of each Premises which is Mortgagee’s security for the loan.  Mortgagor is a business person or entity well-experienced in borrowing money and owning and operating property such as the Premises, and bargained at arm’s length and without duress of any kind for all of the terms and conditions of the loan, including this provision.  Mortgagor further recognizes that any secondary or junior financing placed upon the Premises (a) may divert funds which would otherwise be used to pay the Note secured hereby; (b) could result in acceleration and foreclosure by any such junior encumbrance which would force Mortgagee to take measures and incur expenses to protect its security; (c) would detract from the value of the Premises should Mortgagee come into possession thereof with the intention of selling same; and (d) impair Mortgagee’s right to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure, as a foreclosure by Mortgagee would be necessary to clear the title to the Premises.

9

 


 

In accordance with the foregoing and for the purposes of (i) protecting Mortgagee’s security both of repayment by Mortgagor and the value of the Premises; (ii) giving Mortgagee the full benefit of its bargain and contract with Mortgagor; and (iii) keeping the Premises free of subordinate financing liens, Mortgagor agrees that if this paragraph be deemed a restraint on alienation, that it is a reasonable one and that any sale, conveyance, assignment, further encumbrance or other transfer of title to the Premises or any interest therein (whether voluntarily or by operation of law) without the Mortgagee’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that Mortgagee shall be paid all sums due and owing under the Loan Documents, shall be an Event of Default hereunder.  For the purpose of, and without limiting the generality of, the preceding sentence, the occurrence at any time of any of the following events shall be deemed to be an unpermitted transfer of title to the Premises and therefore an Event of Default hereunder:

(a)             any sale, conveyance, assignment, or other transfer of or the grant of a security interest in, all or any part of the title to the Premises, except with Mortgagee’s consent not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that Mortgagee shall be paid all sums due and owing under the Loan Documents;

(b)             any new or additional encumbrances, secured financing or secured liabilities with respect to the Premises, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee;

(c)             any unsecured financings or liabilities of Mortgagor or any guarantor made or incurred without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, except trade payables as incurred in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such trade payables shall not at any time exceed $25,000.00 per property without the prior written consent of Mortgagee; and

(d)             any change in the present structure of ownership of Mortgagor that constitutes a change in control of the ownership, without first obtaining Mortgagee’s prior written consent.

Any consent by the Mortgagee, or any waiver of an Event of Default, under this paragraph shall not constitute a consent to, or waiver of any right, remedy or power of the Mortgagee upon a subsequent Event of Default under this paragraph.

11

 


 

(p)             A material adverse change shall occur in the financial condition of any guarantor which, in Mortgagee’s opinion, affects the ability of the guarantor to fulfill its obligations hereunder or under its guaranty, or any guarantor shall (i) file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or seek similar relief, (ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) be alleged to be insolvent or unable to pay its debts in any legal proceeding, (iv) fail duly to observe on time any covenant, condition or agreement of this Mortgage, the guaranty, or any other Loan Document, or any individual guarantor shall die or be adjudged incompetent.

(q)             In the event that Mortgagor voluntarily files a bankruptcy petition or Mortgagor is the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy petition, the Mortgagor agrees to the following: (i) that the bankruptcy case shall be dismissed as a “bad faith“ filing “for cause” under 11 U.S.C. § 1112(b); (ii) that Mortgagee is entitled to the immediate entry of an order from the appropriate bankruptcy court granting Mortgagor complete relief from the automatic stay imposed by §362 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §362) to exercise its foreclosure and other rights, including but not limited to obtaining a foreclosure judgment and foreclosure sale, upon the filing with the appropriate court of a motion for relief from the automatic stay.  Mortgagor specifically agrees (1) that upon filing a motion for relief from the automatic stay, Mortgagee shall be entitled to relief from the stay without the necessity of an evidentiary hearing and without the necessity or requirement of the Mortgagee to establish or prove the value of the Premises and property securing the obligations under the Note and the Loan Documents, the lack of adequate protection of its interest in the Premises and property securing the obligations under the Note and the Loan Documents, or the lack of equity in the Premises and property securing the obligations under the Note and the Loan Documents; (2) that the lifting of the automatic stay hereunder by the appropriate bankruptcy court shall be deemed to be “for cause” pursuant to §362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S. C §362(d)(1)); and (3) that Mortgagor will not directly or indirectly oppose or otherwise defend against Mortgagee’s efforts to gain relief from the automatic stay.  Mortgagor acknowledges that this specific provision is an integral part to the Mortgagee’s consideration for making the Loan. 

For the purposes of this Paragraph 2.2, the term “Mortgagor” shall be construed as anyone or more of the parties comprising Mortgagor.

2.3.             Acceleration of Maturity.  If a default shall have occurred hereunder, following any applicable notice and cure periods, then the whole unpaid principal sum of the indebtedness secured hereby, together with interest accrued thereon, together with all fees, charges, costs, expenses and liabilities due and owing under the Loan Documents  shall, at the option of the Mortgagee, become due and payable without notice or demand, time being of the essence of this Mortgage and of the Note secured hereby; and no omission on the part of the Mortgagee to exercise such option when entitled so to do shall be considered as a waiver of such right.

2.4.             Right of Mortgagee to Enter and Take Possession.

(a)                If any default shall have occurred under the Loan Documents, following any applicable notice and cure periods and shall be continuing, the Mortgagor, upon demand of the Mortgagee, shall forthwith surrender to the Mortgagee the actual possession of the Premises and if, and to the extent, permitted by law and subject to the rights of tenant(s) in possession under valid lease(s), the Mortgagee may enter and take possession of the Premises and may exclude the Mortgagor and the Mortgagor’s agents and employees wholly therefrom.  In the event Mortgagee exercises its right pursuant to this subparagraph (a), Mortgagee shall be deemed to be acting as agent of Mortgagor and not as owner of the Premises.

12

 


 

(b)                For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Paragraph 2.4, the Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints the Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney in fact of the Mortgagor to do and perform, from time to time, any and all actions necessary and incidental to such purpose and does, by these presents, ratify and confirm any and all actions of said attorney in fact in the Premises.

(c)                Whenever all such defaults have been cured and satisfied, the Mortgagee shall surrender possession of the Premises to the Mortgagor, provided that the right of the Mortgagee to take possession, from time to time, pursuant to subparagraph 2.4(a) shall exist if any subsequent default shall occur and be continuing.

2.5.             Leases; Assignment of Rents.  If any default shall have occurred under the Loan Documents, following any applicable notice and cure periods and shall be continuing, Mortgagee may, at its sole option, foreclose this Mortgage subject to any Leases, and the failure to make any lessee a defendant or to foreclose its rights shall not be a defense to any proceedings by Mortgagee to collect the sums secured hereby or for any deficiency unpaid after the foreclosure of the Premises.  The assignment of rents contained in this Security Instrument is intended to, and does, constitute an assignment of rents as contemplated in in the jurisdiction where the Property is located.  If an Event of Default then exists, Lender shall be entitled to the remedies provided, in addition to all rights and remedies, whether procedural or substantive, in effect at the time of execution or enforcement of this Security Instrument.  Nothing contained in this Section will diminish, alter, impair, or affect any other rights and remedies of Lender, including but not limited to, the appointment of a receiver, nor will any provision herein, diminish, alter, impair or affect any rights or powers of the receiver in law or equity or as set forth elsewhere in this Security Instrument.  In addition, this assignment of rents will be fully operative without regard to value of the Property or without regard to the adequacy of the Property to serve as security for the obligations owed by Mortgagor to Lender, and will be in addition to any rights.  Further, except for the notices required hereunder or in the Loan Agreement, if any, Mortgagor waives any notice of default or demand for turnover of rents, together with any rights under to apply to a court to deposit the rents into the registry of the court or such other depository as the court may designate.

2.6.             Appointment of a Receiver and Foreclosure.

(a)             If a default shall have occurred hereunder, following any applicable notice and cure periods and shall be continuing, then the whole debt secured by this Mortgage, with all interest thereon, and all other amounts hereby secured shall, at the option of Mortgagee, become immediately due and payable, and may forthwith or at any time thereafter be collected by suit at law, foreclosure of or other proceeding upon this Mortgage or by any other proper, legal or equitable procedure without declaration of such option and without notice.

(b)             In any suit to foreclose the lien hereof, there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness in the decree for sale all reasonable expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Mortgagee for attorneys’ fees, appraisers’ fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges, publication costs and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Mortgagee may deem to be reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or the value of the Premises.  All expenditures and expenses of the nature in this paragraph mentioned shall become so much additional debt secured hereby and shall be immediately due and payable with interest thereon at the default rate as provided in the Note, when paid or incurred by Mortgagee in connection with (i) any proceeding, including foreclosure, probate

13

 


 

and bankruptcy proceedings, to which it shall be a party, either as plaintiff, claimant, or defendant, by reason of this Mortgage, or any indebtedness hereby secured, (ii) preparations for the commencement of any suit for the foreclosure hereof after accrual of such right to foreclose whether or not actually commenced, or (iii) preparations for the defense of any threatened suit or proceeding which might affect the Premises or the security hereof, whether or not actually commenced.

(c)             Upon, or at any time after, the filing of a complaint to foreclose this Mortgage, the court in which such complaint is filed may appoint a receiver of the Premises. Such appointment may be made either before or after sale, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor at the time of application for such receiver and without regard to the then value of the Premises.  Such receiver shall have power to collect the rents, issues and profits of the Premises during the pendency of such foreclosure suit, and in case of a sale and a deficiency, during the full statutory period of redemption, if any, whether there be redemption or not, as well as during any further times when Mortgagor except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collect such rents, issues and profits, and all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Premises during the whole of said period.

(d)             Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee at any time on its request, all agreements for deed, contracts, leases, abstracts, title insurance policies, muniments of title, surveys and other papers relating to the Premises, and in case of foreclosure thereof and failure to redeem, the same shall be delivered to and become the property of the person obtaining a deed to the Premises by reason of such foreclosure.

(e)
