(iv) the insurance required under this Section 2.3(a)(i), (ii) and (vii) above shall cover perils of terrorism insurance for Certified Acts of Terrorism (as such terms are defined in means the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007) in an amount equal to the Full Replacement Cost plus twelve (12) months of business income insurance consistent with the requirements of Section 2.3(a)(i), (ii) and (vii);

(v) steam boiler and machinery breakdown direct damage insurance, in an amount acceptable to Lender, for all boilers and machinery which form a part of the Property, if applicable;

(vi) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the “occurrence” form with a combined single limit (including “umbrella” coverage in place) of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate with excess “umbrella coverage” in an amount not less than $25,000,000 providing for a deductible of not greater than $5,000; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; and (4) contractual liability for all insured contracts, to the extent the same is available;

 

20


(vii) at all times during which structural construction, material repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy;

(viii) if Borrower owns or operates motor vehicles, motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits reasonably acceptable to Lender;

(ix) if Borrower has employees, workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which the Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000 per accident and per disease per employee, and $1,000,000 aggregate coverage for disease in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation;

(x) a blanket fidelity bond or “Employee Dishonesty” coverage insuring against losses resulting from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by personnel retained in connection with the operation of the Property, if applicable; and

(xi) such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

(b) Blanket Insurance; Separate Insurance. Borrower shall not obtain (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender and Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Security Instrument and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Section 2.3(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Section 2.3(e). Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.3(a).

(c) Insurers. All policies of insurance required under this Section 2.3 (collectively, the “Policies” and each, individually, a “Policy”) shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized and/or licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located and approved by Lender. The insurance companies must have a general policy rating of “A” or better and a financial class of “X” or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc., and a claims paying ability/financial strength rating of “A” (or its equivalent) or better by any of the rating agencies (any of such companies being referred to individually herein

 

21


as a “Qualified Insurer”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to amount, content, form and expiration date; it being agreed that the approval by Lender of any insurer shall not be construed to be a representation, certification or warranty of its solvency, and no approval by Lender as to the amount, type and/or form of any insurance shall be construed to be a representation, certification or warranty of its sufficiency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall accept Starr Surplus, rated ‘A XV’ with AM Best as the insurer for the property Policy, for so long as the rating of such insurer is not withdrawn or downgraded below date hereof. In the event such insurer’s rating is withdrawn or downgraded below the rating, Borrower shall promptly notify the Lender and replace such insurer with an insurer meeting the rating requirements set forth herein.

(d) Insured Parties. All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof, shall name Borrower as a named insured. The insurance required under subsections (i) through (v), inclusive, of Section 2.3(a) shall name Lender, its successors and/or assigns, as mortgagee/loss payee under a Standard Mortgage Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement or an equivalent standard form attached to, or otherwise made a part of such policy in favor of Lender, and provide that the insurers waive any and all subrogation rights against Lender. The insurance maintained under subsections (vi) through (x), inclusive, of Section 2.3(a) shall name Lender, its successors and/or assigns, as an additional insured. It is agreed that, and each property policy shall expressly state that, losses shall be payable jointly to Lender and Borrower notwithstanding (1) any act or negligence of Borrower or its agents or employees which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or part of such insurance payment, (2) the occupation or use of the Property or any part thereof for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of such policy, (3) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken pursuant to this Security Instrument, or (4) any change in title to or ownership of the Property or any part thereof. The Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium. The issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the issuers elect not to renew prior to its expiration. Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(e) Delivery of Policies. If not previously delivered to Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender no later than thirty (30) days after the date hereof certified copies of the existing Policies providing the insurance coverage required under Section 2.3(a) marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”) annually in advance. In addition, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies which Borrower is now or hereafter required to maintain hereunder, Borrower shall deliver to Lender certified copies of new or renewal Policies (also marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the Insurance Premiums due thereunder annually in advance), together with certificates of insurance therefor, setting forth, among other things, the amounts of insurance maintained, the risks covered by such insurance and the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender. Under no circumstances shall Borrower be permitted to finance the payment of any portion of the Insurance Premiums.

 

22


(f) Failure to Deliver Policies. If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect, together with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date incurred by Lender, shall be secured by this Security Instrument and payable by Borrower to Lender immediately upon Lender’s demand.

(g) Transfer of Title. In the event of foreclosure of this Security Instrument or other transfer of title or assignment of the Property, by reason of a default hereunder, in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all policies of insurance (to the extent already paid for and assignable) required under this Section 2.3 or otherwise then in force with respect to the Property (to the extent already paid for and assignable) and all proceeds payable thereunder and unearned premiums thereon shall immediately vest in the purchaser or other transferee of the Property.

2.4 Damage and Destruction.

(a) Borrower’s Obligations. In the event of any damage to or loss or destruction of the Property that shall require $50,000 or more, in the aggregate, to repair or restore, Borrower shall (i) promptly notify Lender of such event and take such steps as shall be necessary to preserve any undamaged portion of the Property, and (ii) unless otherwise instructed by Lender, promptly, regardless of whether the insurance proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose (provided that Lender shall, subject to Section 2.4(b) hereof, make available any such insurance proceeds received by Lender), commence and diligently pursue to completion the restoration, replacement and rebuilding of the Property, as nearly as possible to their value, condition and character immediately prior to such damage, loss or destruction in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Governmental Regulations and insurance requirements and otherwise pursuant to plans and specifications reasonably approved by Lender and developed in connection with such restoration.

(b) Lender’s Rights; Application of Proceeds. In the event that any portion of the Property is damaged, lost or destroyed, and such damage, loss or destruction is covered, in whole or in part, by insurance described in Section 2.3, then, (i) Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower, and is hereby authorized and empowered by Borrower to settle, adjust or compromise any claims for damage, loss or destruction thereunder, (ii) each insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and directed to make payment therefor directly to Lender, and (iii) Lender shall apply the insurance proceeds, first, to reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, adjustors’ and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with the collection of such proceeds, and, second, the remainder of such proceeds shall be applied, at Lender’s option, (x) in payment of all or any part of the Obligations, in the order and manner determined by Lender (provided that to the extent that any Obligations shall remain outstanding after such application, such unpaid Obligations shall continue in full force and effect and Borrower shall not be excused in the payment thereof), (y) to the cure of any then current default

 

23


hereunder, or (z) to the restoration, replacement or rebuilding, in whole or in part, of the portion of the Property so damaged, lost or destroyed, provided that any insurance proceeds held by Lender to be applied to the restoration, replacement or rebuilding of the Property shall be so held without payment or allowance of interest thereon and shall be paid out from time to time upon compliance by Borrower with such provisions and requirements as reasonably may be imposed by Lender. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have sole and exclusive dominion and control over such proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower may adjust losses aggregating not in excess of $275,000 per occurrence with respect to any casualty which is a Minor Casualty (as hereinafter defined), provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner with respect to restoration of the Property; provided further, however, that, in the event no Event of Default shall have occurred, (A) insurance proceeds adjusted by Borrower as permitted pursuant to this sentence shall be used for the restoration of the Property (it being understood and agreed that (x) Borrower shall cause such restoration to be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Governmental Regulations and insurance company requirements and recommendations and otherwise pursuant to plans and specifications developed for such restoration, (y) upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender a copy of all waivers of liens for all restoration work, and (z) upon Lender’s request, all construction and trade contracts and contracts for material, equipment, supplies and labor shall be collaterally assigned to Lender, and Borrower shall cause the general contractor to cause all other parties thereto to agree to perform for the benefit of Lender, at the request of Lender, provided Lender shall pay them for their respective services), and (B) Lender agrees to make the proceeds (less all reimbursable costs and expenses set forth in clause (iii) above) received in connection with a Minor Casualty available for the restoration of the Property on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

For the purpose of this Security Instrument, a “Minor Casualty” shall mean any fire, earthquake, flood, water damage, other catastrophe or insured event occurring not later than nine (9) months prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) which (I) does not result in an Environmental Condition, (II) does not damage or render untenantable (including, without limitation, as a result of the inability to access leased premises) more than 20% of the rentable square footage of the Improvements, and (III) does not result in more than 20% of the tenants terminating or having the right to terminate their Leases. In addition, Lender shall not be required to advance any proceeds for the restoration of the Property, even if a Minor Casualty, unless Borrower shall deliver to Lender, and Lender shall approve in writing, the plans, specifications and construction budget for the repair and/or restoration of the Property and Lender shall determine that the Improvements located on the Real Estate can be restored so as to constitute a commercially viable building of the same quality and use and having the same rentable square footage and the same number of apartment units as existed immediately before the fire, other catastrophe or insured event for the amounts set forth in the construction budget. Upon receipt by Lender of proceeds from a Minor Casualty and/or if Lender, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise agree to make insurance proceeds from a non-Minor Casualty available for repair and restoration of the Property, the following shall apply:

(i) The actual out-of-pocket costs to Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, appraisal fees, engineering surveys, consultants’ and architects’

 

24


charges and adjustors’ fees) incurred in settling or adjusting any claim and in reviewing and approving all plans (collectively, “Lender’s Costs”) shall first be paid to Lender out of the proceeds of the insurance. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to retain an architectural or engineering consultant at any time and from time to time, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to examine plans, specifications, change orders and budgets with respect to such repair or restoration, the progress of same and to render reports and conduct site inspections with respect to the foregoing;

(ii) The contractor and major subcontractors engaged to perform the restoration work shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;

(iii) The general contractor shall deliver a performance bond in respect of the work to be performed at the Property or a guarantee of such work in form, scope and substance acceptable to Lender from an entity acceptable to Lender or other substitute for such performance bond or guarantee acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion and the construction contract shall contain a time of the essence completion date satisfactory to Lender. All construction and trade contracts and contracts for material, equipment, supplies and labor shall be collaterally assigned to Lender and Borrower shall cause the general contractor to cause all other parties thereto to agree to perform for the benefit of Lender, at the request of Lender, provided Lender shall pay them for their respective services;

(iv) Borrower shall procure and deliver to Lender, from a licensed architect selected by Borrower and approved by Lender, a certified statement setting forth the estimated cost of restoration and that the proceeds of such insurance are, in such architect’s reasonable estimation (after deducting all of the Lender’s Costs and such architect’s fees and all other estimated costs for architects, plans, permits and approvals and other so-called “soft costs”), sufficient to perform the repair and/or restoration of the Property using similar quality materials as those presently installed therein. If such proceeds are insufficient, and if Lender nevertheless agrees to make such proceeds available for repair and/or restoration, Lender may require Borrower to deposit with Lender (with interest) the amount of any such deficiency, which funds shall be disbursed first in payment of such work. In addition, if thereafter it appears, at any time and from time to time, that the remaining proceeds shall be insufficient to pay for the remaining costs of construction, then Borrower shall deposit the amount of such deficiency (from time to time determined) with Lender for use as aforesaid;

(v) All proceeds allocated for repair and/or restoration shall be disbursed by Lender (not more frequently than monthly) based on the percentage of the work completed against a certification therefor by the aforesaid architect, invoices for the work to be paid for, waivers of lien for all prior work for which a payment was made and a title endorsement for the Property showing no additional exceptions to title of the Property other than the Permitted Encumbrances. In addition, prior to any disbursement of proceeds, Borrower must certify to Lender that (A) Borrower incurred the costs in the amount of the requested advance (as evidenced by a draw request signed by the general contractor and/or paid receipts), (B) such costs have not been the basis for any previous requisition, (C) there has been no change in Borrower’s financial condition which would have an adverse effect, as reasonably determined by Lender, on the ability of Borrower to complete the repairs and/or restorations in question in

 

25


accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument, and (D) Borrower has no defenses, counterclaims or offsets to its obligations under the Loan Documents, and that, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, there exists no Event of Default under the Loan Documents or event which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. Lender shall be entitled to retain up to ten (10%) percent of the amount of each such requisition unless the amount of the requisition already reflects ten (10%) percent retainage by Borrower. Such retainage shall be paid on a trade by trade basis upon final completion of the work by the applicable trade free of liens. If Lender shall have engaged an architectural or engineering consultant, then, as an additional precondition to any disbursement of proceeds hereunder, such consultant shall have approved, in writing, the progress of the work, conformity of the work with the approved plans and specifications and the quality and percentage of the work completed. For purposes of this provision, all work shall be deemed completed and all retainage shall be released upon delivery to Lender of the following, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender: (x) evidence that all applicable licenses, permits and approvals (including, without limitation, certificates of occupancy) related to the work for which payment of the retainage therefor is sought have been obtained, (y) the certifications of Borrower’s architect, the general contractor and Lender’s consulting architect or engineering consultant, if any, that such work has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications (and approved change orders) therefor, and (z) all of the certificates, statements, waivers, title endorsements and other proofs required hereunder as a condition to any disbursement;

(vi) No Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall exist; and

(vii) All work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Governmental Regulations and insurance company requirements and recommendations and otherwise pursuant to plans and specifications approved by the aforesaid architect.

(c) Not Trust Funds. Subject to Borrower’s right to adjust losses aggregating not in excess of $275,000 per occurrence as described in Section 2.4(b) above, in the event that Borrower shall have received all or any portion of such insurance proceeds or any other proceeds in respect of such damage or destruction, Borrower, upon demand from Lender, shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the amount so received by Borrower, to be applied as Lender shall have the right pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.4(b). Notwithstanding anything herein or at law or in equity to the contrary, none of the insurance proceeds or payments in lieu thereof paid to Lender as herein provided shall be deemed trust funds and Lender shall be entitled to dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Section 2.4. Borrower expressly assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment or value, of the Property from any casualty whatsoever, whether or not insurable or insured against.

(d) Effect on the Obligations. Notwithstanding any fire or other casualty referred to in this Section 2.4 causing injury to or decrease in value of the Property, or any interest therein, Borrower shall continue to pay and perform the Obligations as provided herein. Any reduction in the Obligations resulting from an application of insurance proceeds shall be

 

26


deemed to take effect only on the date of receipt by Lender of such insurance proceeds and application against the Obligations, provided that if prior to the receipt by Lender of such insurance proceeds the Property shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or shall have been transferred by deed in lieu of foreclosure of this Security Instrument, Lender shall have the right to receive the aforesaid insurance proceeds to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale, with legal interest thereon together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection with the collection thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Lender applies insurance proceeds to the reduction of the Obligations, no Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Note) shall be payable with respect to any such application of proceeds by Lender or, to the extent the application of such proceeds is greater than twenty percent (20%) of the Obligations and such application of proceeds materially restricts Borrower’s ability to rebuild the Property, with respect to Borrower’s payment of the entire unpaid balance of the Obligations thereafter. The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall survive the repayment, release, satisfaction and termination of this Security Instrument.

2.5 Condemnation.

(a) Borrower’s Obligations; Proceedings. Borrower, promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge of any pending or threatened institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Property, or any part or interest therein or of any right of eminent domain, or of any other proceedings arising out of injury or damage to or decrease in the value of the Property (including a change in grade of any street), or any part thereof or interest therein (a “Taking”), will notify Lender of the threat or pendency thereof. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, and Borrower from time to time will execute and deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by Lender or as may be required to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any proceedings involving a Taking, shall deliver to Lender copies of all papers served in connection therewith and shall consult and cooperate with Lender, its attorneys and agents, in the carrying on and defense of any such proceedings; provided that no settlement of any such proceeding shall be made by Borrower without Lender’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Lender’s Rights to Awards. All proceeds of condemnation awards or proceeds of sale in lieu of condemnation, and all judgments, decrees and awards for injury or damage to the Property (an “Award” or “Awards”) are hereby assigned and shall be paid to Lender. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver such further assignments thereof as Lender may request and authorizes Lender to collect and receive the same, to give receipts and acquittances therefor, and to appeal from any such judgment, decree or award. Lender shall in no event be liable or responsible for failure to collect, or exercise diligence in the collection of, any of the same.

(c) Application of Awards. Lender shall have the right to apply any Awards first, to reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the proceeding in question or the collection of such amounts, and, second, the remainder thereof as provided in Section 2.4(b) for insurance proceeds held by Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and

 

27


provided no Event of Default shall have occurred under this Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower may adjust Awards that shall not exceed $275,000, in the aggregate, per occurrence, with respect to a Minor Taking (as hereinafter defined), provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner with respect to restorations of the Property; provided further, however, that, in the event no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Awards adjusted by Borrower as permitted pursuant to this sentence shall be used for the restoration of the Property (it being understood and agreed that (i) Borrower shall cause such restoration to be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Governmental Regulations and insurance company requirements and recommendations and otherwise pursuant to plans and specifications developed for such restoration, (ii) upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender a copy of all waivers of liens for all restoration work, and (iii) upon Lender’s request, all construction and trade contracts and contracts for material, equipment, supplies and labor shall be collaterally assigned to Lender and Borrower shall cause the general contractor to cause all other parties thereto to agree to perform for the benefit of Lender, at the request of Lender, provided Lender shall pay them for their respective services). For the purpose of this Security Instrument, a “Minor Taking” shall mean any Taking occurring not later than nine (9) months prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date which (x) does not unduly restrict or limit access to the Property, (y) affects less than 20% of the rentable square footage of the Improvements, and (z) does not result in more than 20% of the tenants at the Property terminating or having the right to terminate their Leases. In addition, Lender shall not be required to advance any Awards for the restoration of the Property unless Borrower shall deliver to Lender, and Lender shall approve in writing, the plans, specifications and construction budget for the restoration of the Property and Lender shall determine that the Improvements located on the Real Estate can be restored so as to constitute a commercially viable building of the same quality and having the same rentable square footage and the same number of apartment units as existed immediately before the Taking for the amounts set forth in the construction budget. Upon receipt by Lender of an Award from a Minor Taking and/or if Lender, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise elect to make such Awards available for the restoration of the Property, the following shall apply:

(i) The actual out-of-pocket costs to Lender (including, without limitation, legal fees, appraisal fees, engineering surveys, consultants’ and architects’ charges and adjustors’ fees) reasonably incurred in connection with the recovery of the Award and in reviewing and approving all plans (collectively, “Lender’s Award Costs”) shall first be paid to Lender out of the Award. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to retain an architectural or engineering consultant at any time and from time to time, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to examine plans, specifications, change orders and budgets with respect to such restoration, the progress of same and to render reports and conduct site inspections with respect to the foregoing;

(ii) The contractor and major subcontractors engaged to perform the restoration work shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;

 

28


(iii) The general contractor shall deliver a performance bond in respect of the work to be performed at the Property or a guarantee of such work in form, scope and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender from an entity reasonably acceptable to Lender or other substitute for such performance bond or guarantee acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion and the construction contract shall contain a time of the essence completion date satisfactory to Lender. All construction and trade contracts and contracts for material, equipment, supplies and labor shall be collaterally assigned to Lender and Borrower shall cause the general contractor to cause all other parties thereto to agree to perform for the benefit of Lender, at the request of Lender, provided Lender shall pay them for their respective services;

(iv) Borrower shall procure and deliver to Lender, from a licensed architect selected by Borrower and approved by Lender, a certified statement setting forth the estimated cost of restoration and that the Award, in such architect’s reasonable estimation, is (after deducting all of the Lender’s Award Costs and such architect’s fees and all other estimated costs for architects, plans, permits and approvals and other so-called “soft costs”) sufficient to perform the restoration of the Property using similar quality materials as those presently installed therein. If such Award is insufficient, and if Lender nevertheless agrees to make such Award available for the restoration, Lender may require Borrower to deposit with Lender (with interest) the amount of any such deficiency, which funds shall be disbursed first in payment of such work. In addition, if thereafter it appears, at any time and from time to time, that the remaining portion of the Award shall be insufficient to pay for the remaining costs of construction, then Borrower shall deposit the amount of such deficiency (from time to time determined) with Lender for use as aforesaid;

(v) All Awards allocated for restoration shall be disbursed by Lender (not more frequently than monthly) based on the percentage of the work completed against a certification therefor by the aforesaid architect, invoices for the work to be paid for, waivers of lien for all prior work for which a payment was made and a title endorsement for the Property showing no additional exceptions to title of the Property other than the Permitted Encumbrances. In addition, prior to any disbursement from the Award, Borrower must certify to Lender that (A) Borrower incurred the costs in the amount of the requested advance (as evidenced by a draw request signed by the general contractor and/or paid receipts), (B) such costs have not been the basis for any previous requisition, (C) there has been no adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition which would have a material adverse affect on the ability of Borrower to complete the repairs and/or restorations in question in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument, and (D) Borrower has no defenses, counterclaims or offsets to its obligations under the Loan Documents and that, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, there exists no Event of Default under the Loan Documents or event which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. Lender shall be entitled to retain up to ten (10%) percent of the amount of each such requisition unless the amount of the requisition already reflects ten (10%) percent retainage by Borrower. Such retainage shall be paid on a trade by trade basis upon final completion of the work by the applicable trade free of liens. If Lender shall have engaged an architectural or engineering consultant, then, as an additional precondition to any disbursement from the Award hereunder, such consultant shall have approved, in writing, the progress of the work, conformity of the work with the approved plans and specifications and the quality and percentage of the work completed. For purposes of this provision, all work shall be deemed completed and all retainage shall be released upon delivery to Lender of the following, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender: (x) evidence that all applicable licenses, permits and approvals (including, without limitation, certificates of occupancy) related to the work for which payment of the retainage therefor is sought have been obtained, (y) the

 

29


certifications of Borrower’s architect, the general contractor and Lender’s consulting architect or engineering consultant, if any, that such work has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications (and approved change orders) therefor, and (z) all of the certificates, statements, waivers, title endorsements and other proofs required hereunder as a condition to any disbursement;

(vi) No Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder or under any Loan Document shall exist; and

(vii) All work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Governmental Regulations and insurance company requirements and recommendations and otherwise pursuant to plans and specifications approved by the aforesaid architect.

(d) Not Trust Funds. Subject to Borrower’s right to adjust Awards not in excess of $275,000 in the aggregate, per occurrence, in the event that Borrower shall have received all or any portion of such Award, Borrower, upon demand from Lender, shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the amount so received by Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein or at law or in equity to the contrary, none of the Awards paid to, or received by, Lender as herein provided shall be deemed trust funds and Lender shall be entitled to dispose of such proceeds as provided in this Section 2.5.

(e) Effect on the Obligations. Notwithstanding any Taking, Borrower shall continue to pay and perform the Obligations as provided herein. Any reduction in the Obligations resulting from an application of Awards shall be deemed to take effect only on the date of receipt by Lender of such Awards and application against the Obligations, provided that if prior to the receipt by Lender of such Awards the Property shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or shall have been transferred by deed in lieu of foreclosure of this Security Instrument, Lender shall have the right to receive the same to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale, with legal interest thereon together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection with the collection thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Lender applies Awards to the reduction of the Obligations, no Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Note) shall be payable with respect to any such application of Awards by Lender or, to the extent the application of such Awards is greater than twenty percent (20%) of the Obligations and such application of Awards materially restricts Borrower’s ability to rebuild the Property, with respect to Borrower’s payment of the entire unpaid balance of the Obligations thereafter. The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall survive the repayment, release, satisfaction and termination of this Security Instrument.

2.6 Liens and Liabilities.

(a) Discharge of Liens. Borrower will pay, bond or otherwise discharge, from time to time when the same shall become due, all lawful claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, a Lien on the Property or on the revenues, rents, issues, income or profits arising therefrom and, in general, Borrower shall do, or cause to be done, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, everything

 

30


necessary to fully preserve the lien and priority of this Security Instrument. For the purposes hereof, the term “Lien” (or “Liens” as the case may be) shall mean any lien, mortgage, pledge, security interest, financing statement, or encumbrance of any kind (including any conditional sale or other title retention agreement or any lease in the nature thereof, but excluding Permitted Encumbrances) and any agreement to give any lien, mortgage, pledge, security interest, or other encumbrance of any kind.

(b) Other Debt/Creation of Liens. Borrower will not, without Lender’s consent, incur any other debt, whether unsecured or secured by all or any portion of the Property. In addition, Borrower will not create, place or permit to be created or placed, or through any act or failure to act, acquiesce in the placing of, or allow to remain, any Lien against or covering the Property, which is prior to, on a parity with or subordinate to the lien of this Security Instrument. If any of the foregoing becomes attached to the Property without such consent, Borrower will immediately cause the same to be discharged and released. Notwithstanding the above to the contrary, Borrower may incur unsecured trade payables, unsecured operational debt and Permitted Equipment Leases (defined below), exclusive of real property taxes, in each case, not represented by a note and which are incurred in the ordinary course of Borrower’s ownership and operation of the Property, in amounts reasonable and customary for similar properties and in all events not exceeding, in the aggregate, at any one time (other than with respect to the financing of capital expenditures approved in writing by Lender), 2% of the original Principal Amount (as defined in the Note) of the Loan (“Permitted Trade Payables”).

The term “Permitted Equipment Leases” shall mean equipment leases or other similar instruments entered into with respect to the personal property at the Property; provided that, in each case, such equipment leases or similar instruments (i) are entered into on commercially reasonable terms and conditions and (ii) relate to personal property which is (A) used in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Property in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and (B) readily replaceable without material interference or interruption to the operation of the Property.

(c) No Consent. Nothing in the Loan Documents shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request by Lender, express or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, mechanic or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any material for any improvement, construction, alteration or repair of the Property. Borrower further agrees that Lender does not stand in any fiduciary relationship to Borrower.

2.7 Taxes and Other Charges.

(a) Taxes on the Property. Borrower will pay prior to delinquency and before any penalty, interest or cost for non-payment thereof may be added thereto, (i) all taxes, assessments, vault, water and sewer rents, rates, charges and assessments, levies, inspection and license fees and other governmental and quasi-governmental charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, heretofore or hereafter assessed, levied or otherwise imposed against or upon, or which may become a Lien upon, the Property, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, any taxes with respect to the Rents and Profits or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession of the Real Estate and Improvements,

 

31


(ii) income taxes, franchise taxes, and other taxes owing by Borrower the non-payment of which would result in a Lien against the Property or otherwise diminish or impair the security of this Security Instrument and (iii) all taxes, charges, filing, registration, and recording fees, excises and levies imposed upon Lender by reason of or in connection with the execution, delivery and/or recording of the Loan Documents or the ownership of this Security Instrument or any Security Instrument supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to any equipment or any instrument of further assurance, and all corporate, stamp and other taxes required to be paid in connection with the Obligations (excluding, however, income taxes of Lender) (collectively, “Impositions”). Borrower will also pay any penalty, interest or cost for non-payment of Impositions which may become due and payable, and such penalties, interest or cost shall be included within the term Impositions.

(b) Receipts. Unless Borrower is making monthly deposits pursuant to Section 2.8 or unless Lender otherwise directs, Borrower will furnish to Lender upon Lender’s request, written proof of payment of the Impositions at the time such payment is made, and thereafter, upon Borrower’s receipt, furnish to Lender validated receipts showing payment in full of all Impositions.

(c) Additional Taxes. In the event of the enactment of or change in (including a change in interpretation of) any applicable Governmental Regulation (i) deducting or allowing Borrower to deduct from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation any Lien or security interest thereon, or (ii) imposing, modifying or deeming applicable any reserve or special requirement against deposits of Lender, or (iii) subjecting Lender to any tax or changing in any way any Governmental Regulation for the taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or security agreements or other liens or debts secured thereby, the interest of the grantee, mortgagee, Lender, trustee or secured party in the property covered thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, in each such case, so as to affect this Security Instrument, the Obligations or Lender, and the result is to increase the taxes imposed upon or the cost to Lender or to reduce the amount of any payments receivable hereunder, then, and in any such event, Borrower shall, on demand, pay to Lender additional amounts to compensate for such increased costs or reduced amounts, provided that if any such payment or reimbursement shall be unlawful or would constitute usury or render the Obligations wholly or partially usurious under applicable law, then Lender may, at its option, declare the Obligations due and payable (without penalty or fee) after providing Borrower with forty-five (45) days advance written notice thereof or require Borrower to pay or reimburse Lender for payment of the lawful and non-usurious portion thereof.

(d) Contest of Certain Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 hereof, Borrower may, to the extent and in the manner permitted by Governmental Regulations, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, contest Governmental Regulations, Impositions or any other claim that can lead to a Lien against the Property, and the failure of Borrower to pay the contested Imposition or other claim that may result in a Lien against the Property, pending such contest, shall not be or become a default, provided that (A) Borrower shall notify Lender of Borrower’s intent to contest such payment at least ten (10) Business Days prior to commencing the contest; (B) Borrower shall deposit such payments or post such security as may be required by Governmental Regulation in connection with such contest; (C) Borrower shall furnish to Lender a cash deposit reasonably satisfactory to

 

32


Lender, or an indemnity bond satisfactory to Lender, with a surety reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to assure payment (including, without limitation, interest, fines and penalties) of, and/or compliance with, the matters under contest and/or to prevent any sale, loss or forfeiture of all or any part of the Property; (D) Borrower diligently and in good faith pursues such contest by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the enforcement or collection of the same and/or the sale, loss or forfeiture of all or any part of the Property to satisfy the same; (E) Borrower, promptly upon final determination thereof, shall pay the amount of any such claim so determined, together with all costs, fines, interest and penalties payable in connection therewith; (F) the failure to comply with the applicable Governmental Regulations or to make payment of any Imposition or other claim shall not subject Lender to any civil or criminal liability or to any Losses and Liabilities; and (G) such contest shall not otherwise interfere with the payment of any amounts required to be paid under this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents or the satisfaction of any other Obligations.

2.8 Tax and Insurance Deposits. At Lender’s election and subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 2.8, Lender may require, at any time during the term of the Loan, at Borrower’s expense, that Borrower deposit with Lender, or any servicer or financial institution that Lender may from time to time designate (collectively, the “Depository”), into an account in the name of Lender, monthly, one-twelfth (l/12th) of the annual premiums for insurance and one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount of all Impositions estimated by Lender to be due for the immediately succeeding calendar year. In addition, if required by Lender, Borrower shall also deposit with the Depository a sum of money which, together with the aforesaid monthly installments, will be sufficient to make each of said payments of Impositions and premiums at least thirty (30) days before such payments are due. All interest (if any) earned on the funds held by the Depository, less Depository’s administrative charges, shall be credited to, and remain in an account with the Depository, but the amount thereof shall be credited against future deposit obligations under this Section 2.8. Borrower shall have no right to require that the Depository hold funds herein in an interest bearing account and Lender shall bear no liability for the failure to achieve any particular rate of return or yield on funds held by the Depository. If the amount of any such payments is not ascertainable at the time any such deposit is required to be made, the deposit shall be made on the basis of Lender’s reasonable estimate thereof, and, when such amount is fixed for the then-current year, Borrower shall promptly deposit any deficiency with the Depository, or, in the event the estimate was in excess of the amount fixed, Lender shall refund to Borrower such excess amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by its acceptance of this Security Instrument, Lender shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree that Borrower is not currently required to make the deposits pursuant to this Section 2.8, provided, however, that (i) in connection with deposits for Impositions, Lender retains the right to require Borrower to make the deposits specified herein if an Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder or under any Loan Document shall exist and remain uncured, and (ii) in connection with deposits for premiums for insurance, Lender shall not require Borrower to make such deposits provided that (A) no Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder or under any Loan Document shall exist and remain uncured, (B) Borrower is maintaining the required insurance hereunder pursuant to a blanket insurance Policy approved by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, and (C) Borrower has provided Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment in advance of the annual Insurance Premiums.

 

33


2.9 Inspection. Borrower will allow Lender and its authorized representatives to enter upon and inspect the Property, and/or the books, records and accounts of Borrower at the office of Borrower or other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts (and in connection therewith, to make copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire), upon not less than 48 hours prior notice at all times during regular business hours and will assist Lender and such representatives in effecting said inspection, provided, however, that in no event shall Lender conduct such an inspection more frequently than once in any six month period.

2.10 Records; Reports and Audits; Maintenance of Records.

(a) Borrower shall keep and maintain or will cause to be kept and maintained on a calendar year basis, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of the financial affairs of Borrower and all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the Property or in connection with any services, equipment or furnishings provided in connection with the operation of the Property, whether such income or expense be realized by Borrower or by any other Person whatsoever excepting tenants unrelated to and unaffiliated with Borrower who have leased from Borrower portions of the Property for the purpose of occupying the same.

(b) Within ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar year, Borrower shall furnish Lender: (i) income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements of Borrower and the Property certified to Lender by an officer of Borrower (or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, audited by a certified public accountant satisfactory to Lender) and stating that the same have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and (ii) a detailed rent roll for the Property which shall list all expiring Leases and the applicable lease expiration dates. Prior to the end of each calendar year, Borrower shall furnish to Lender detailed operating and capital budgets with respect to the Property for the following year (the “Annual Budget”).

(c) Within thirty (30) days following the date that Borrower is required to file any state or federal income tax returns, Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of such returns or extensions (if applicable, and Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of such returns when ultimately filed) as filed with the applicable taxing authorities together with evidence of the payment of all federal and state income taxes then required to be paid by Borrower.

(d) Within forty-five (45) days following the end of each calendar quarter, Borrower shall deliver to Lender (i) operating statements of the Property in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, and (ii) a detailed rent roll for the Property (which shall list all expiring Leases and the applicable Lease expiration dates), together with a delinquency report each in substantially the same form as delivered to Lender in connection with its underwriting of the Loan or such other form as may be approved by Lender.

(e) Within fifteen (15) Business Days after Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver to Lender such additional financial information concerning Borrower, any Indemnitor and/or the Property as may be reasonably requested by Lender, including, without limitation, a current budget and leasing or occupancy reports for the Property.

2.11 Borrower’s Certificates. Borrower, within fifteen (15) Business Days after Lender’s written request, shall furnish to Lender a written statement (a “Borrower’s Certificate”), duly acknowledged, certifying to Lender and/or any proposed assignee of this Security Instrument or other prospective holder of the Loan or any portion thereof or interest therein, as to (a) the amount of the Obligations then owing under this Security Instrument, (b) the terms of payment and maturity date of the Obligations, (c) the date to which interest has been paid under the Note, (d) whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Obligations and, if any are alleged to exist, a detailed description thereof, (e) that all Leases for the Property are in full force and effect and have not been modified (or if modified, setting forth all modifications), (f) the date to which the rent, additional rent and other charges under such Leases have been paid, (g) whether or not, to the actual knowledge of Borrower, any of the tenants under such Leases are in default under such Leases, and, if any of the tenants are in default, setting forth the specific nature of all such defaults, and (h) as to any other matters reasonably requested by Lender provided, however, that in no event shall Lender request a Borrower’s Certificate more frequently than twice in any twelve month period.

2.12 Security Interest.

(a) This Security Instrument is also intended to, among other things, encumber and create a security interest in, and Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants, bargains, assigns, conveys, pledges, mortgages, transfers, sets over and confirms unto Lender and hereby grants to Lender a security interest in, all fixtures, chattels, accounts, deposit accounts, equipment, inventory, contract rights, general intangibles and other personal property included within the Property, all renewals, replacements of any of the aforementioned items, or articles in substitution therefor or in addition thereto or the proceeds thereof (said property is hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Collateral”), whether or not the same shall be attached to the Real Estate or the Improvements in any manner. It is hereby agreed that to the extent permitted by law, all of the foregoing property is to be deemed and held to be a part of and affixed to the Real Estate and the Improvements. The foregoing security interest shall also cover Borrower’s leasehold interest in any of the foregoing property which is leased by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of the foregoing property shall be owned by Borrower and no leasing or installment sales or other financing or title retention agreement in connection therewith, shall be permitted without the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall, from time to time upon the request of Lender, supply Lender with a current inventory of all of the property in which Lender is granted a security interest hereunder, in such detail as Lender may reasonably require. Borrower shall promptly replace all of the Collateral subject to the lien or security interest of this Security Instrument when worn out or obsolete with Collateral comparable to the worn out or obsolete Collateral when new, and will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, remove from the Real Estate or the Improvements any of the Collateral subject to the lien or security interest of this Security Instrument, except in the ordinary course of operating the Property and except such as is replaced by an article of equal suitability and value as above provided, owned by Borrower free and clear of any lien or security interest except that created by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Security Instrument. Other than proceeds of the Collateral, all of the Collateral shall be kept at the location of the Real Estate, except as otherwise required by the terms of the Loan Documents. Borrower shall not use any of the Collateral in violation of any Governmental Regulations.

 

35


(b) As additional security for the payment and performance by Borrower of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, conveys, pledges, mortgages, transfers, delivers, deposits, sets over and confirms unto Lender, and hereby grants to Lender a security interest in, (i) the amounts deposited with the Depository pursuant to the terms of Section 2.8, Section 2.16 or Article XI or as otherwise required herein (collectively, the “Reserves”), (ii) the accounts into which the Reserves have been deposited, (iii) all insurance of said accounts, (iv) all accounts, contract rights and general intangibles or other rights and interests pertaining thereto, (v) all sums now or hereafter therein or represented thereby, (vi) all replacements, substitutions or proceeds thereof, (vii) all instruments and documents now or hereafter evidencing the Reserves or such accounts, (viii) all powers, options, rights, privileges and immunities pertaining to the Reserves (including the right to make withdrawals therefrom), and (ix) all proceeds of the foregoing. Borrower hereby authorizes and consents to the account or accounts into which the Reserves have been deposited being held by Depository and hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have sole and exclusive dominion and control over said account or accounts. Notice of the assignment and security interest granted to Lender herein may be delivered by Lender at any time to the Depository wherein the Reserves have been established, and Lender shall have possession of all passbooks or other evidences of such accounts. Borrower hereby assumes all risk of loss with respect to amounts on deposit in the Reserves, except to the extent such loss is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Borrower hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally stipulates, acknowledges and agrees that the advancement of the funds from the Reserves as set forth herein is at Borrower’s direction and is not the exercise by Lender of any right of setoff or other remedy upon an Event of Default. Borrower hereby waives all right to withdraw funds from the Reserves. If an Event of Default shall occur hereunder or under any other of the Loan Documents, then Lender may, without notice or demand on Borrower, at its option: (A) withdraw any or all of the funds (including, without limitation, interest) then remaining in the Reserves and apply the same, after deducting all costs and expenses of safekeeping, collection and delivery (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any other Obligations of Borrower under the other Loan Documents in such manner or as Lender shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, and the excess, if any, shall be paid to Borrower, (B) exercise any and all rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC, or (C) exercise any other remedies available at law or in equity. No such use or application of the funds contained in the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Lender shall have no liability arising from or in connection with any act or omission of the Depository or the economic failure of the Depository.

2.13 Security Agreement. This Security Instrument constitutes a security agreement between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Reserves) in which Lender is granted a security interest hereunder, and, cumulative of all other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. Borrower hereby agrees to execute and deliver on demand and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender the attorney-in-fact of Borrower to execute and deliver and, if appropriate, to file with the appropriate filing officer or office such security agreements, financing statements or other instruments as Lender may request or require

 

36


in order to impose, perfect or continue the perfection of the lien or security interest created hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file any financing statements or continuation statements thereof on Borrower’s behalf. Except with respect to Rents and Profits to the extent specifically provided herein to the contrary, Lender shall have the right of possession of all cash, securities, instruments, negotiable instruments, documents, certificates and any other evidences of cash or other property or evidences of rights to cash rather than property, which are now or hereafter a part of the Property, and, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Borrower shall promptly deliver the same to Lender, endorsed to Lender, without further notice from Lender. Borrower agrees to furnish Lender with notice of any change in the name, identity, state of organization, residence, or principal place of business or mailing address of Borrower within ten (10) days of the effective date of any such change. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, Lender shall have the rights and remedies as prescribed in this Security Instrument, or as prescribed by general law, or as prescribed by any applicable UCC, all at Lender’s election. Without implying any limitation upon the foregoing, Lender may, at its option, proceed against the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the UCC as enacted in the State of Arkansas, or Lender may proceed as to both the real and personal property comprising the Property in accordance with this Security Instrument, or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Any disposition of the Collateral may be conducted by an employee or agent of Lender. Any Person, including both Borrower and Lender, shall be eligible to purchase any part or all of the Collateral at any such disposition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like (including, without limitation, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. Lender shall have the right to enter upon the Real Estate and the Improvements or any real property where any of the property which is the subject of the security interests granted herein is located to take possession of, assemble and collect the same or to render it unusable, or Borrower, upon demand of Lender, shall assemble such property and make it available to Lender at the Real Estate, a place which is hereby deemed to be reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower. If notice is required by law, Lender shall give Borrower not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of such property or of the time of or after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made, and if such notice is sent to Borrower, as the same is provided for the mailing of notices herein, it is hereby deemed that such notice shall be and is reasonable notice to Borrower. No such notice is necessary for any such property which is perishable, threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Furthermore, to the extent permitted by law, in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for the rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to any applicable UCC:

(a) In the event of a foreclosure sale, the Collateral may, at the option of Lender, be sold as a whole;

(b) It shall not be necessary that Lender take possession of the aforementioned Collateral, or any part thereof, prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.13 is conducted and it shall not be necessary that said Collateral, or any part thereof, be present at the location of such sale; and

 

37


(c) Lender may appoint or delegate any one or more Persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Lender, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of Lender.

2.14 Reserves.

(a) Use of Reserves. All Reserves shall, until so disbursed by the Depository as set forth in the applicable provisions, constitute additional security for the Obligations (and Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Reserves), and may be commingled with other funds of the Depository. If an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder, or if the Obligations shall be accelerated as herein provided, all Reserves may, at Lender’s option, be applied to the Obligations in the order determined by Lender or to cure said Event of Default or as further provided in this Security Instrument.

(b) Transfer of Security Instrument. Upon an assignment or other transfer of this Security Instrument, the Depository shall have the right to pay over the balance of any Reserves in its possession to the assignee or other successor, and the Depository shall thereupon be completely released from all liability with respect to such Reserves and Borrower or the owner of the Property shall look solely to the assignee or transferee with respect thereto. This provision shall apply to every transfer of such Reserves to a new assignee or transferee.

(c) Transfer of the Property. Subject to Article V hereof, transfer of record title to the Property shall automatically transfer to the new owner all of Borrower’s beneficial interest in any Reserves, subject to the rights of Lender as provided herein. Upon full payment and satisfaction of this Security Instrument or, at Lender’s option, at any prior time, the balance of any Reserves in the Depository’s possession shall be paid over to the record owner of the Property, and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto in any event.

2.15 Asbestos O&M Plan. At all times while the Loan is outstanding Borrower shall keep in place an Asbestos-Containing Materials Operating and Maintenance Plan approved by Lender. By acceptance of this Security Instrument, Lender acknowledges that the Asbestos-Containing Materials Operations and Maintenance Plan prepared by Property Solutions Inc. dated May 24, 2017 with Project No. 20170316.130 is approved.

2.16 Capital Expenditure Reserve. (a) At Lender’s election and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.16, Lender may require at any time during the term, on each Monthly Payment Date during the term of the Loan, Borrower to deposit with Depository, into an account in the name of Lender, an amount equal to the greater of (i) $4,950.00, or (ii) an amount recommended by a third party engineer retained by Lender at Borrower’s cost and expense (the “Monthly Capital Expenditure Deposit”), to pay for or reimburse Borrower for any capital repairs, replacements and improvements necessary to keep the Property in good condition, order and repair and to prevent deterioration of the Property (a “Capital Expenditure Advance”). All such amounts shall be held by Depository until released in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) below (the “Capital Expenditure Reserve Account”). Amounts deposited in the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 2.16 are referred to herein as the “Capital Expenditure Reserve Fund”. Lender may reassess the amount of the Monthly Capital Expenditure Reserve Deposit from time to time, and may require Borrower to increase such monthly deposits upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Lender reasonably determines that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper condition of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by its acceptance of this Security Instrument, Lender shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree that Borrower is not currently required to make the deposits pursuant to this Section 2.16, provided, however, that Lender may require Borrower at any time to make such deposits if (A) an Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder or under any Loan Document shall exist and remain uncured, or (B) during Lender’s annual inspection of the Property, Lender’s or Lender’s representative or Servicer (defined below) identifies the need for deferred maintenance at the Property in an amount greater than $20,000.00.

(b) Release of Capital Expenditure Reserve Fund. Lender shall cause Depository to disburse funds from the Capital Expenditure Reserve Fund subject to satisfaction with the conditions:

(i) no Event of Default, or event which would, with the passage of time the giving of notice or both, constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the submission of a Capital Expenditure Requisition (as hereinafter defined) or as of the date of the disbursement of the Capital Expenditure Advance. Borrower’s submission of a Capital Expenditure Requisition (as hereinafter defined) shall be deemed Borrower’s certification that no Event of Default, or event which would, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the submission of such Capital Expenditure Requisition.

(ii) Lender’s receipt of a certificate from an officer of Borrower certifying that the requested disbursement is for a capital expenditure incurred by Borrower and approved by Lender.

(iii) Borrower shall provide evidence satisfactory to Lender that all the capital expenditure work for which the Capital Expenditure Advance is being requested has been performed (1) in accordance with all Governmental Regulations, and (2) in a good and workmanlike manner.

 

39


(iv) Borrower has delivered to Lender invoices and conditional lien releases from all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen supplying labor or materials for the capital expenditures for which the Capital Expenditure Advance is being requested.

(c) Disbursement of Capital Expenditure Advance. Lender shall disburse to Borrower each Capital Expenditure Advance pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 2.16 not more than once in each calendar month upon simultaneous submission to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower desires a disbursement of a Capital Expenditure Advance, of a written requisition (a “Capital Expenditure Requisition”), certified by Borrower on such form or forms as may be required by Lender. Each Capital Expenditure Requisition shall be for not less than $10,000, except that the final Capital Expenditure Requisition may be for less than $10,000. Each Capital Expenditure Requisition shall be deemed a representation by Borrower that Borrower is in full compliance with the terms of this Section 2.16. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Capital Expenditure Reserve Fund to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from any other Reserves.

2.17 Access Laws. Borrower covenants to cause the Property to at all times comply to the extent applicable with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (as amended, the “ADA”), the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, all state and local laws and ordinances related to handicapped access and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant thereto including, without limitation, the ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (collectively, “Access Laws”). Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any other document regarding Lender’s approval of alterations of the Property, Borrower shall not alter, or permit others to alter, the Property in any manner which would increase Borrower’s responsibilities for compliance with the applicable Access Laws without the prior written approval of Lender. Lender may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of Access Law compliance, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, from an architect, engineer, or other Person acceptable to Lender. Borrower agrees to give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any written complaints related to violations of any Access Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with applicable Access Laws.

2.18 Future Advances; Secured Indebtedness. It is understood and agreed that this Security Instrument shall secure payment of not only the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, but also any and all substitutions, replacements, renewals and extensions of the Note, any and all indebtedness and obligations arising pursuant to the terms hereof and any and all indebtedness and obligations arising pursuant to the terms of any of the other Loan Documents (other than the Environmental Indemnity), all of which indebtedness is equally secured with and has the same priority as any amounts advanced as of the date hereof. It is agreed that any future advances made by Lender to or for the benefit of Borrower from time to time under this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents and whether or not such advances are obligatory or are made at the option of Lender, or otherwise, and all interest accruing thereon, shall be equally secured by this Security Instrument and shall have the same priority as all amounts, if any, advanced as of the date hereof and shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Security Instrument.

 

40


2.19 OFAC. At all times throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower and all of its respective Affiliates shall (i) not be a Prohibited Person (defined below), and (ii) be in full compliance with all applicable orders, rules, regulations and recommendations of The Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its general partners, managing members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for payment and performance of the Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the payment or the performance of the Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property. Borrower shall not, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, (i) sell, grant, convey, assign or otherwise transfer, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively, “Transfer”), (ii) permit to be the subject of a Transfer, (iii) enter into an agreement to Transfer while the Loan is outstanding (unless such agreement provides for the payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents), or (iv) grant an option, or take any action, which, pursuant to the terms of any agreement to which Borrower is a party, may result in a Transfer of, the Property, or any legal, beneficial or equitable interest therein, or the management thereof while the Loan is outstanding, without Lender’s prior written consent (which consent shall be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, except as otherwise provided herein). For purposes of this Security Instrument, but without limiting the foregoing, except as expressly set forth in this sentence, (i) the issuance of, or any Transfer of, any equity interest in Borrower (whether stock, partnership interest or otherwise) to any Person or group of related Persons, whether in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions, in such quantities that after such issuance such Person or group shall have Control of Borrower, shall be deemed a Transfer of the Property, (ii)a Transfer of more than 49% in interest of Borrower (whether stock, partnership interest or otherwise) by any party or parties in interest whether in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions shall be deemed a Transfer, (iii) a take-over agreement shall be deemed a Transfer, (iv) a Transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of any of Borrower, or any Indemnitor under the Environmental Indemnity, shall be deemed a Transfer of the Property, and (v) any Person or legal representative of Borrower to whom Borrower’s interest in the Property passes by operation of law, or otherwise, shall be bound by the provisions of this clause (a).

(FINRA) regulated broker-dealer, and (iii) in the case of (i) or (ii) above, (a) prior to REIT Guarantor raising $20,000,000.00 in private or public equity, such issuance of shares does not result in a change in the Board of Directors of REIT Guarantor, and (b) after REIT Guarantor raises $20,000,000.00 in private or public equity, such issuance of shares does not result in a change in Control of REIT Guarantor or Borrower; (B) a sale, transfer or hypothecation of a membership interest in Borrower, by the current members to an immediate family member (i.e., parents, spouses, siblings, children or grandchildren) of such member (or a trust for the benefit of any such Persons) that does not result in a change in Control of the Borrower, (C) other than as explicitly set forth in subsection (D) below, the issuance, transfer or redemption of up to forty-nine percent (49%) of the stock in REIT Guarantor or the limited partnership interests in Affiliated Operating Partnership so long as (i) no change in Control of REIT Guarantor, Affiliated Operating Partnership or Borrower results therefrom and (ii) if pursuant to such issuance, transfer or redemption, the transferee (together with its Affiliates) will either (a) invest greater than $20,000,000.00 to acquire shares in REIT Guarantor or (b) acquire greater than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding interests in Affiliated Operating Partnership, then Lender shall have performed and be reasonably satisfied with its customary know-your-customer due diligence, or (D) the issuance or redemption of preferred limited partnership interests in Affiliated Operating Partnership to SmartStop Asset Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, so long as (i) (a) prior to REIT Guarantor raising $20,000,000.00 in private or public equity, such issuance or redemption of preferred limited partnership interests does not result in a change in the Board of Directors of REIT Guarantor and (b) after REIT Guarantor raises $20,000,000.00 in private or public equity, such issuance or redemption of preferred limited partnership interests does not result in a change in Control of REIT Guarantor or Borrower and (ii) if pursuant to such issuance, transfer or redemption the transferee (together with its Affiliates) will either (a) invest greater than $20,000,000.00 to acquire shares in REIT Guarantor or (b) acquire greater than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding interests in Affiliated Operating Partnership, then Lender shall have performed and be reasonably satisfied with its customary know-your-customer due diligence.

(b) In the event that (i) Borrower shall Transfer the Property or any legal, beneficial or equitable interest therein, (ii) Borrower shall Transfer responsibility for the management of the Property in violation of the terms hereof, or (iii) any other Transfer shall otherwise occur in violation of the terms of this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, the same shall constitute an “Event of Default” and Lender may elect to declare the Obligations, together with any other sums secured hereby, immediately due and payable. Lender may withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer for no reason or any reason, including the failure of the prospective transferee of the Property to reach an agreement in writing with Lender increasing the interest payable on the Obligations to such rate as Lender shall request.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall apply to each and every such Transfer of all or any portion of the Property or any legal or equitable interest therein or the management thereof, regardless of whether or not Lender has consented to, or waived by its action or inaction its rights hereunder with respect to any previous Transfer of all or any portion of the Property or any legal or equitable interest therein, or the management thereof.

 

49


(d) Until the Obligations are paid in full, Borrower shall have the option (which may be exercised by Borrower not more than once) to Transfer the Property subject to this Security Instrument and pursuant to this Section 5.1(d); provided, however, (i) Lender shall have received a notice from Borrower requesting Lender’s consent to such Transfer not less than sixty (60) days prior to the proposed date of such Transfer, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding, (iii) the organizational documents of such transferee and any managing member or general partner thereof shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (iv) at the time of the Transfer, Borrower shall be obligated to pay Lender an assumption fee equal to one (1%) percent of the Loan. If Borrower transfers the Property pursuant to this Section 5.1(d), Lender shall release Indemnitor from the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity with respect to matters first arising from and after the date of such Transfer, provided, and on the condition, that an acceptable replacement guarantor that (a) satisfies the Minimum Net Worth and Liquidity Standard (as defined in the Guaranty), (b) Controls such transferee, directly or indirectly, (c) is not a Prohibited Person, (d) has not been the subject to bankruptcy proceedings in the previous seven (7) years, (e) has experience in owning and operating real estate of similar size and character as the Property, and (f) passes Lender’s customary due diligence searches, in each case, as approved and determined by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, enters into a replacement nonrecourse carveout guaranty and environmental indemnity agreement substantially similar in form and substance to the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity executed on the date hereof by Indemnitor. The foregoing Transfer described in this Section 5.1(d) shall be subject to the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

5.2 Intentionally Omitted.

5.3 No Subordinate Financing. Borrower covenants and agrees that it will not further encumber, mortgage, pledge, or grant a security interest in the Property or any part thereof or any direct or indirect interest therein.

ARTICLE VII

REMEDIES

7.1 Remedies Available. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower agrees that Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, as Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce Lender’s rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender:

(a) Acceleration. Accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any or all of the indebtedness secured hereby to be immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or any other notice or action of any kind whatever (each of which is hereby expressly waived by Borrower), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable. Upon any such acceleration of the Note, payment of such accelerated amount shall constitute a prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and any applicable prepayment fee and/or any amount payable upon such prepayment provided for in the Note shall then be immediately due and payable.

(b) Entry on the Property. Either in Person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon and take possession of the Property, or any part thereof, without force or with such force as is permitted by law, without notice or process or with such notice or process as is required by law unless such notice and process is waivable, in which case Borrower hereby waives such notice and process, and without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise, and do any and all acts, perform any and all work and take possession of any and all books, records and accounts which may be desirable or necessary in Lender’s judgment to complete any unfinished construction on the Real Estate, to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Property, to increase the income therefrom, to manage and operate the Property or to protect the security hereof and all sums expended by Lender therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender by Borrower on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

(c) Collect Rents and Profits. With or without taking possession of the Property, sue for or otherwise collect the Rents and Profits, including those past due and unpaid.

(d) Appointment of Receiver. Upon, or at any time prior or after, instituting any judicial foreclosure or instituting any other foreclosure of the liens and security interests provided for herein or any other legal proceedings hereunder, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property, as a matter of strict right and without notice to Borrower and without regard to the adequacy of the Property for the repayment of the Obligations or the solvency of Borrower or any Person or Persons liable for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and Borrower does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment, waives any and all notices of and defenses to such appointment and agrees not to oppose any application therefor by Lender, but nothing herein is

 

54


to be construed to deprive Lender of any other right, remedy or privilege Lender may now have under the law to have a receiver appointed; provided, however, that, the appointment of such receiver, trustee or other appointee by virtue of any court order, statute or regulation shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Lender to receive payment of the Rents and Profits pursuant to other terms and provisions hereof. Any such receiver shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including, without limitation, the full power to hold, develop, rent, lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use of the Property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances as more fully set forth in Section 7.3 hereinbelow. Such receivership shall, at the option of Lender, continue until full payment of all of the indebtedness secured hereby or until title to the Property shall have passed by foreclosure sale under this Security Instrument or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

(e) Foreclosure. Institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial or otherwise (including, without limitation, by power of sale to the extent available to Lender under applicable law, it being understood and agreed that Borrower hereby expressly grants Lender such power of sale), for the complete foreclosure of this Security Instrument under any applicable law. Institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial or otherwise (including, without limitation, by power of sale to the extent available to Lender under applicable law, it being understood and agreed that Borrower hereby expressly grants Lender such power of sale), for the partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument under any applicable law for the portion of the Obligations then due and payable, subject to the lien of this Security Instrument continuing unimpaired and without loss of priority so as to secure the balance of the Obligations not then due and payable.

(1) If Lender is the purchaser of the Property, or any part thereof, at any sale thereof, whether such sale be under the powers of sale hereinabove, or upon any other foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereof, or otherwise, Lender shall, upon any such purchase, unless otherwise indicated in any writing evidencing such purchase, acquire good title to the Property so purchased, free of the liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents.

(2) In the event a foreclosure hereunder should be commenced, Lender may at any time before the sale abandon the sale, and may then institute suit for the collection of the Loan, or for the foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereof. If Lender should institute a suit for the collection of the Loan, or for a foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereof, it may at any time before the entry of a final judgment in said suit dismiss the same, and dispose of the Property, or any part thereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Security Instrument.

(3) It is agreed that in any deed or deeds given, any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made as to the identity of the Lender or as to the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default or other default, or as to the acceleration of the maturity of the Loan, or as to the request to sell, notice of sale, time, place, terms, and manner of sale, and receipt, distribution and application of the money realized therefrom, and, without being limited by the foregoing, as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Lender shall be accepted by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that the said statements or recitals are correct and are without further questions to be so accepted.

 

55


(f) Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred, this Security Instrument may, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be enforced, and Lender may exercise any right, power or remedy permitted to it hereunder, under the Loan Documents or by law or in equity, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may, personally or by its agents, to the maximum extent permitted by law:

(1) enter into and take possession of the Property or any part thereof, exclude Borrower and all parties claiming under Borrower whose claims are junior to this Security Instrument, wholly or partly therefrom, and use, operate, manage and control the Property or any part thereof either in the name of Borrower or otherwise as Lender shall deem best, and upon such entry, from time to time at the expense of Borrower and the Property, make all such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions or improvements to the Property or any part thereof as Lender may deem proper and, whether or not Lender has so entered and taken possession of the Property or any part thereof, collect and receive all Rents and Profits and apply the same to the payment of all expenses that Lender may be authorized to make under this Security Instrument, the remainder to be applied to the payment of obligations under the Loan Documents until the same shall have been repaid in full; if Lender demands or attempts to take possession of the Property or any part thereof in the exercise of any rights hereunder, Borrower shall promptly turn over and deliver complete possession thereof to Lender;

(2) cause any or all of the Property to be sold under the power of sale in any manner permitted by applicable law. For any sale under the power of sale granted by this Security Instrument, Lender shall record and give all notices required by law and then, upon the expiration of such time as is required by law, may sell the Property, and all estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand of Borrower therein, and all rights of redemption thereof, at one or more sales, as an entity or in parcels, with such elements of real and/or personal property (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may elect to deem all of the Property to be real property for purposes thereof), and at such time or place and upon such terms as Lender may deem expedient, or as may be required by applicable law. Upon any sale, Lender shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a deed or deeds conveying the property sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied, and the recitals in the deed or deeds of any facts affecting the regularity or validity of the sale will be conclusive against all Persons. In the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Security Instrument Property;

(3) proceed to protect and enforce their rights under this Security Instrument, by suit for specific performance of any covenant contained herein or in the Loan Documents or in aid of the execution of any power granted herein or in the Loan Documents, or for the enforcement of any other right as Lender shall elect, provided, that in the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien on, and security interest in, the remaining portion of the Property; or

 

56


(4) exercise any or all of the remedies available to a secured party under the applicable UCC, including, without limitation:

(i) either personally or by means of a court-appointed receiver, take possession of all or any of the Property and exclude therefrom Borrower and all parties claiming under Borrower, and thereafter hold, store, use, operate, manage, maintain and control, make repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements to and exercise all rights and powers of Borrower in respect of the Property or any part thereof; if Lender demands or attempts to take possession of the Property in the exercise of any rights hereunder, Borrower shall promptly turn over and deliver complete possession thereof to Lender;

(ii) without further notice to or demand upon Borrower, make such payments and do such acts as Lender may deem necessary to protect its security interest in the Property, including, without limitation, paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance that is prior to or superior to the security interest granted hereunder, and in exercising any such powers or authority paying all expenses incurred in connection therewith which expenses shall thereafter become part of the obligations secured by this Security Instrument;

(iii) require Borrower to assemble the Property or any portion thereof, at a place designated by Lender and reasonably convenient to both parties, and promptly to deliver the Property to Lender, or an agent or representative designated by it; Lender, and each of its agents and representatives, shall have the right to enter upon the premises and property of Borrower to exercise the rights of Lender hereunder;

(iv) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Property, with or without having the Property at the place of sale, and upon such terms and in such manner as Lender may determine (and Lender may be a purchaser at any such sale); provided, however, that Lender, may dispose of the Property in accordance with Lender’s rights and remedies in respect of the Property pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument in lieu of proceeding under the applicable UCC; and

(v) Lender shall give Borrower at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of the time and place of any sale of the Property or other intended disposition thereof, which notice Borrower agrees is commercially reasonable.

(g) Lender may resort for the payment of the Loan to any other security for the debt held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Loan, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

(h) Lost Documents. All rights of action under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents may be enforced by Lender without the possession of the original Loan Documents and without the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto.

 

57


7.2 Application of Proceeds. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the proceeds of any foreclosure sale under this Security Instrument shall be applied to the extent funds are so available to the following items in such order as Lender in its discretion may determine:

(i) to payment of the costs, expenses and fees of taking possession of the Property, and of holding, operating, maintaining, using, leasing, repairing, improving, marketing and selling the same and of otherwise enforcing Lender’s right and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, receivers’ fees, court costs, attorneys’, accountants’, appraisers’, managers’ and other professional fees, title charges and transfer taxes.

(ii) to payment of all sums expended by Lender under the terms of any of the Loan Documents and not yet repaid, together with interest on such sums at the Default Rate.

(iii) to payment of the secured indebtedness and all other obligations secured by this Security Instrument, including, without limitation, interest at the Default Rate and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any payment due upon a deemed prepayment of the principal balance of the Note, and any applicable prepayment fee, charge or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay principal, in any order that Lender chooses in its sole discretion.

(iv) to the extent permitted by Governmental Regulations, to be set aside by Lender as adequate security in its judgment for the payment of sums which would have been paid by application under clauses (i) through (iii) above to Lender, arising out of an obligation or liability with respect to which Borrower has agreed to indemnify Lender, but which sums are not yet due and payable or liquidated, provided, however, that in no event shall Lender retain any such proceeds for a period in excess of 1 year from the date of any foreclosure sale unless a lawsuit has been filed against Lender for an obligation or liability with respect to which Borrower has agreed to indemnify Lender and a final judgment has not yet been entered in said lawsuit.

The remainder, if any, of such funds shall be disbursed to Borrower or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, except as otherwise provided by law.

(b) No sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Property pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents, except to the extent the proceeds thereof are applied to the payment of such obligations. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Property are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of any amounts due under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency pursuant to the terms of Section 7.7 hereof, subject to the terms of Section 9.21 hereof.

7.3 Right and Authority of Receiver or Lender in the Event of Default; Power of Attorney. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and entry upon the Property pursuant to Section 7.1(b) hereof or appointment of a receiver pursuant to Section 7.1(d) hereof, and under such terms and conditions as may be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances in Lender’s

 

58


or the receiver’s sole discretion, all at Borrower’s expense, Lender or said receiver, or such other Persons or entities as they shall hire, direct or engage, as the case may be, may (but shall have no obligation to) do or permit one or more of the following, successively or concurrently:

(a) enter upon and take possession and control of any and all of the Property;

(b) take and maintain possession of all documents, books, records, papers and accounts relating to the Property;

(c) exclude Borrower and its agents, servants and employees wholly from the Property;

(d) manage and operate the Property;

(e) preserve and maintain the Property;

(f) make repairs and alterations to the Property;

(g) complete any construction or repair of the Improvements, with such changes, additions or modifications of the plans and specifications or intended disposition and use of the Improvements as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable to place the Property in such condition as will, in Lender’s sole discretion, make it or any part thereof readily marketable or rentable;

(h) conduct a marketing or leasing program with respect to the Property, or employ a marketing or leasing agent or agents to do so, directed to the leasing or sale of the Property under such terms and conditions as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable;

(i) employ such contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects, engineers, consultants, managers, brokers, marketing agents, or other employees, agents, independent contractors or professionals, as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable to implement and effectuate the rights and powers herein granted;

(j) execute and deliver, in the name of Borrower as attorney-in-fact and agent of Borrower or in its own name as Lender, such documents and instruments as are necessary or appropriate to consummate authorized transactions;

(k) enter into such leases, whether of real or personal property, or tenancy agreements, under such terms and conditions as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable;

(l) collect and receive the Rents and Profits from the Property;

(m) eject tenants or repossess personal property, as provided by law, for breaches of the conditions of their leases or other agreements;

 

59


(n) sue for unpaid Rents and Profits, payments, income or proceeds in the name of Borrower or Lender or such receiver;

(o) maintain actions in forcible entry and detainer, ejectment for possession and actions in distress for rent;

(p) compromise or give acquitance for Rents and Profits, payments, income or proceeds that may become due;

(q) delegate or assign any and all rights and powers given to Lender by this Security Instrument; and/or

(r) do any other acts which Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate or desirable to protect the security hereof and use such measures, legal or equitable, as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable to implement and effectuate the provisions of this Security Instrument. This Security Instrument shall constitute a direction to and full authority to any tenant, or other third party who has heretofore dealt or contracted or may hereafter deal or contract with Borrower or Lender, at the request of Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to pay all amounts owing under any lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement to Lender without proof of the default relied upon. Any such tenant or third party is hereby irrevocably authorized to rely upon and comply with (and shall be fully protected by Borrower in so doing) any request, notice or demand by Lender for the payment to Lender of any Rents and Profits or other sums which may be or thereafter become due under its lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, or for the performance of any undertakings under any such lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, and shall have no right or duty to inquire whether any default under this Security Instrument or under any of the other Loan Documents has actually occurred or is then existing. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender, its assignees, successors, transferees and nominees, as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution in the Property, in Borrower’s name, place and stead, upon an Event of Default to do or permit any one or more of the foregoing described rights, remedies, powers and authorities, successively or concurrently, and said power of attorney shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as any indebtedness secured hereby is outstanding. Any money advanced by Lender in connection with any action taken under this Section 7.3, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of making such advancement by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be a demand obligation owing by Borrower to Lender and shall be secured by this Security Instrument and by every other instrument securing the secured indebtedness.

7.4 Occupancy After Foreclosure. In case the liens or security interests of this Security Instrument shall be foreclosed, and Borrower or Borrower’s representatives, successors or assigns, or any other Persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Borrower (which, for purposes of this Section 7.4 does not include any tenant under a written Lease, provided such tenant is not an Affiliate of Borrower) are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, then, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each and all shall, at the option of Lender or the purchaser at such sale, as the case may be, immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy at sufferance, terminable at the will of landlord, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the Property occupied

 

60


or used, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event the tenant fails to forthwith surrender possession of the Property upon the termination of such tenancy, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for unlawful detainer of the Property in the appropriate court of the county in which the Real Estate is located, and anyone occupying the Property after demand made for possession thereof shall be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law, and all damages by reason thereof are hereby expressly waived.

7.5 Notice to Account Debtors. Lender may, at any time after an Event of Default, notify the account debtors and obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness to Borrower included in the Property to pay Lender directly. Borrower shall at any time or from time to time upon the request of Lender provide to Lender a current list of all such account debtors and obligors and their addresses.

7.6 Cumulative Remedies. All remedies contained in this Security Instrument are cumulative and Lender shall also have all other remedies provided at law and in equity or in any other Loan Documents. Such remedies may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently at the sole subjective direction of Lender and may be exercised in any order and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any particular provisions of this Security Instrument to the exclusion of any other provision of this Security Instrument or as an election of remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter be available to Lender. No delay or failure by Lender to exercise any right or remedy under this Security Instrument shall be construed to be a waiver of that right or remedy or of any default hereunder. Lender may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies at its option without regard to the adequacy of its security.

7.7 Deficiency. Subject to the terms of Section 9.21 hereof, Borrower acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(a) In the event an interest in any of the Property is foreclosed, Borrower agrees as follows: Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Borrower and any other party obligated on the Note equal to the difference between the amount upon which Borrower is personally liable under the Note and the amount for which the Property was sold pursuant to judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Borrower expressly recognizes that this Section 7.7 constitutes a waiver of any and all State of Arkansas Governmental Regulations which would otherwise permit Borrower and other Persons (if any) against whom recovery of deficiencies is sought (even absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale and to offset against any deficiency the amount by which the foreclosure sale price is determined to be less than such fair market value. Borrower further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates an irrebuttable presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Property for purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Borrower and others (if any) against whom recovery of a deficiency is sought.

 

61


(b) In connection with any valuation of the Property as part of a foreclosure and sale, the following shall be the basis for the finder of fact’s determination of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings: (a) the Property shall be valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of the Property after foreclosure; (b) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Property for cash promptly (but no later than twelve (12) months) following the foreclosure sale; (c) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Property, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance, a survey of the Property, tax prorations, reasonable attorneys’ fees and marketing costs; (d) the gross fair market value of the Property shall be further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Property pending sale, including, without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, taxes and assessments (to the extent not accounted for in (c) above), and other maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (e) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Property must be given by Persons having at least five (5) years experience in appraising property similar to the Property and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Property taking into consideration the factors set forth above.

7.8 Borrower’s Waivers. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS TO NOTICE, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE HEREIN SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED, OR TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY PROVIDED BY THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT TO LENDER, AND WAIVES ITS RIGHTS, IF ANY, TO SET ASIDE OR INVALIDATE ANY SALE DULY CONSUMMATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS HEREOF ON THE GROUND (IF SUCH BE THE CASE) THAT THE SALE WAS CONSUMMATED WITHOUT A PRIOR JUDICIAL HEARING. BORROWER’S WAIVERS UNDER THIS SECTION 7.8 HAVE BEEN MADE VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY, AND KNOWINGLY AND AFTER BORROWER HAS BEEN APPRISED AND COUNSELED BY ITS ATTORNEY AS TO THE NATURE THEREOF AND ITS POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE RIGHTS.

ARTICLE VIII

REPORTING AND WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS

8.1 Withholding. In the event of a foreclosure or delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right to withhold any and all amounts necessary to comply with the requirements of Section l445 of the Code, any successor statutes thereto and applicable U.S. Department of Treasury regulations issued pursuant thereto in temporary or final form.

8.2 Form 1099-S. Borrower shall have supplied or caused to be supplied to Lender either (a) a copy of a completed Form 1099-S, Statement for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate Transactions prepared by Borrower’s attorney together with a certification from Borrower’s attorney to the effect that such form has, to the best of such Person’s knowledge, been accurately prepared and that such Person will timely file such form, or (b) a certification from Borrower that the mortgage loan is a refinancing of the Property or is otherwise not required to be reported to the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Code.

 

62


8.3 Transfer Tax.

(a) Covenants. Borrower covenants and agrees that, in the event of a sale or other Transfer, it will duly complete, execute and deliver to Lender contemporaneously with their submission to the applicable taxing authority or recording officer, all forms and supporting documentation required by such taxing authority or recording officer to estimate and fix the real estate transfer tax (“Transfer Tax”), if any, payable by reason of such sale or other Transfer or recording of the deed evidencing such sale or other Transfer. This Section 8.3 shall apply only if this Security Instrument is outstanding after any such sale or transfer.

(b) Payment. Borrower agrees to pay all Transfer Taxes that may hereafter become due and payable with respect to any Transfer, and in default thereof Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay the same and the amount of such payment shall be added to the Obligations and be secured by this Security Instrument. The provisions of this Article shall survive any Transfer, foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and the delivery of the deed in connection with any Transfer, foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Nothing in this Article shall be deemed to limit Lender’s rights hereunder in the event any Transfer shall be made in violation of the provisions of this Security Instrument.

(c) Foreclosure. The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall be applicable also in the event of a foreclosure or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure to the extent that Lender shall, in its sole judgment and discretion, determine that any tax (including a Transfer Tax) shall be payable by it.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS TERMS AND CONDITIONS

9.1 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of each and every covenant of Borrower hereunder.

9.2 Release of This Security Instrument. If all of the Obligations secured hereby shall have been paid and/or performed, then and in that event only, all rights under this Security Instrument shall terminate, except for any indemnities granted by Borrower hereunder to Lender and any other provisions hereof which by their terms survive, and the Property shall become wholly clear of the liens, security interests, conveyances and assignments evidenced hereby, which shall be released by Lender, to the extent required by law to effect a full and proper termination, release and reconveyance in due form at Borrower’s cost. No release of this Security Instrument or the lien hereof shall be valid unless executed by Lender, which Lender agrees to provide on a timely basis.

To the full extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that Borrower shall not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, moratorium or extension, or any law now or hereafter in force providing for the reinstatement of the Obligations prior to any sale of the Property to be made pursuant to any provisions contained herein or prior to the entering of any decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction, or any right under any statute to redeem all or any part of the Property so sold.

All references in this

 

65


Security Instrument to Borrower or Lender shall be construed as including all of such other Persons with respect to the Person referred to. Where two or more Persons have executed this Security Instrument, the obligations of such Persons shall be joint and several except to the extent the context clearly indicates otherwise.

9.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Security Instrument or the application thereof to Borrower shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation, or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation or rule of law, and the remainder of this Security Instrument and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to parties, jurisdictions, or circumstances other than to whom or to which it shall be held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Security Instrument.

9.8 Waiver; Discontinuance of Proceedings. Lender may waive any single default by Borrower hereunder without waiving any other prior or subsequent default. Lender may remedy any default by Borrower hereunder without waiving the default remedied. Neither the failure by Lender to exercise, nor the delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or remedy upon any default by Borrower hereunder shall be construed as a waiver of such default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. No notice to nor demand on Borrower in any case shall of itself entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any of the secured indebtedness shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way affect the existence of a default hereunder. In case Lender shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the indebtedness secured hereby, the Loan Documents, the Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if the same had never been invoked.

67


9.12 Unsecured Portion of Indebtedness. If any part of the secured indebtedness cannot be lawfully secured by this Security Instrument or if any part of the Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security interest hereof to the full extent of such indebtedness, then all payments made shall be applied on said indebtedness first in discharge of that portion thereof which is unsecured by this Security Instrument.

9.17 Lender May File Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower or the members, principals or general partners in Borrower, or their respective creditors or property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire secured indebtedness at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Borrower hereunder after such date.

9.18 Fixture Filing. This Security Instrument shall be effective from the date of its recording as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under the applicable UCC with respect to all goods constituting part of the Property which are or are to become fixtures.

68

Lender may forward to any potential assignee or transferee of any interest in the Loan or any servicing rights with respect to the Loan any and all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan and to the Borrower Parties and the Property, whether furnished by the Borrower Parties or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable. Borrower, on behalf of itself and the Borrower Parties, agrees to cooperate with Lender in connection with any transaction contemplated in this Section 9.19. Lender shall notify Borrower within ten (10) days after any such sale, assignment or transfer, including the name and address of any transferee and/or new servicer of the Loan.

9.20 No Representation. By accepting delivery of any item required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance of delivery thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty, consent or affirmation with respect thereto by Lender.

9.21 Limited Recourse.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.21, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note or this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may sell the Property under any power of sale or right of non-judicial foreclosure or bring a foreclosure action, confirmation action, action for specific performance or other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon the Note, this Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents, and the Property, the Rents and Profits and any other collateral given to Lender created by the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, the Rents and Profits and any other collateral given to Lender. Lender, by accepting the Note and this Security Instrument, agrees that it shall not, except as provided in Sections 9.21(b) and (c) below, sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding, under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.21 shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to obtain a deficiency judgment in any action or proceeding with respect to the Loan Documents in order to preserve its rights and remedies including, without limitation, foreclosure, non-judicial foreclosure, or the exercise of a power of sale, under this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents; however, Lender agrees that, it shall not enforce such deficiency judgment against any assets of Borrower other than Borrower’s interest in the Property; (iii) impair the right of Lender to name

9.22 Entire Agreement and Modifications. This Security Instrument cannot be altered, amended, modified, terminated or discharged, except in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such alteration, amendment, modification, termination or discharge is sought. It is expressly understood and agreed that neither this Security Instrument nor any of the other Loan Documents can be modified orally and no oral modifications or other agreements with respect to this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document shall be valid or enforceable. Borrower agrees that the written agreements evidenced by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the parties hereto and thereto and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements among the parties.

9.23 Commissions. Borrower agrees to pay and to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any and all loss, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from the claims of any brokers or anyone claiming a right to any fees in connection with the financing of the Property by, through or under Borrower or its Affiliates (as defined in the Note). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges that Lender or its affiliates may have a contractual relationship with the broker, if any, that arranged the Loan on Borrower’s behalf, and that such broker may be entitled to fees from Lender or its affiliates in connection with the origination, closing or servicing of the Loan, which fees shall be in addition to any brokerage fees owed by Borrower to such broker. Borrower shall not be responsible for any such additional fees. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has made and will make such inquiries of the broker, if any, that arranged the Loan with respect to the nature or existence of such arrangement. No agreement by Lender to pay any such fees or compensation to such broker (if any) shall be binding upon Lender unless it is set forth in separate written instrument that has been duly executed by Lender and such broker.

 

72


9.24 Intentionally Omitted.

9.25 Usury Savings Clause. It is the intention of Borrower and Lender to conform strictly to all applicable usury laws now or hereinafter in force. All agreements in this Security Instrument and in the other Loan Documents are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement or acceleration of maturity of the Obligations, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid hereunder or thereunder for the use, forbearance or detention of money, to the extent that any sums secured hereby or by the other Loan Documents shall not be exempt from such laws, exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under applicable usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the court having jurisdiction over such matters. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of the Loan Documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the receipt of such excess shall, at the option of Lender, be deemed a mistake and such excess shall be rebated to Borrower or, held in trust by Lender for the benefit of Borrower and shall be credited against the principal amount of the Obligations to which the same may lawfully be credited, and any portion of such excess not capable of being so credited shall be rebated to Borrower. The aggregate of all interest (whether designated as interest, service charges, points or otherwise) contracted for, chargeable, or receivable under the Note, this Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum legal rates upon the unpaid principal balance of the Note remaining from time to time. In the event such interest does exceed the maximum legal rate, it shall be deemed a mistake and such excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid, rebated to Borrower or credited on the principal amount of the Note, or if the Note has been repaid, then such excess shall be rebated to Borrower.

9.26 Right to Deal. In the event that ownership of the Property becomes vested in a Person other than Borrower, Lender may, without notice to Borrower, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Security Instrument or the Obligations in the same manner as with Borrower, without in any way vitiating or discharging Borrower’s liability hereunder or for the payment of the Obligations or being deemed a consent to such vesting. It being agreed that Lender’s dealing with any such successor or successors as aforesaid shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations or liabilities hereunder or under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Obligations), all of which shall remain the primary obligations and liabilities of Borrower as a principal hereunder and thereunder, and not as merely a guarantor or by way of stand-by liability.

9.27 Sole Discretion of Lender.

(a) Whenever Lender’s judgment, consent or approval is required under this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents for any matter, or Lender shall have an option or election under this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, such judgment, the decision as to whether or not to consent to or approve the same or the exercise of such option or election shall (except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein) be made in the sole, absolute, unfettered and subjective discretion of Lender, and as to which decision no standard of reasonableness shall apply or be deemed to apply, and, furthermore, shall be final and conclusive. The use of the phrase “in Lender’s sole discretion”, “in the sole discretion of

 

73


Lender” and words of similar import, when used in this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document (as well as the absence thereof) with respect to a particular matter shall not be deemed in any way to limit or modify the provisions of the preceding sentence with respect to such matter.

(b) If at any time Borrower believes that Lender has not acted reasonably in granting or withholding any approval or consent under this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents as to which approval or consent Lender has expressly agreed to act reasonably, then Borrower’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to seek injunctive relief or specific performance and no action for monetary damages, punitive damages or any other Losses and Liabilities shall in any event or under any circumstances be sought or maintained by Borrower against Lender.

9.28 Intentionally Omitted.

9.29 No Joint Venture. The parties intend and agree that the relationship between them shall be solely that of contracting parties. Nothing contained in this Security Instrument or in any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy, joint venture or co-ownership by or between Borrower and Lender. Lender shall not in any way be responsible for the debts, losses or obligations of Borrower with respect to the Property or otherwise. All obligations to pay the Impositions arising from the ownership, operation or occupancy of the Property and to perform all other agreements and contracts relating to the Property shall be the sole responsibility of Borrower. Borrower, subject to the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents (including this Security Instrument), shall be free to determine and follow its own policies and practices in the conduct of its business.

9.30 Indemnification Provisions. THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT CONTAINS INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS WHICH, AMONG OTHER MATTERS AND IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, INDEMNIFY LENDER AND OTHER INDEMNITEES AGAINST THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE AND AGAINST ANY STRICT LIABILITY WHICH COULD BE IMPOSED ON LENDER AND SUCH OTHER INDEMNITEES.

9.31 Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; No Jury. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY AGREE THAT THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED, GOVERNED AND ENFORCED ACCORDING TO THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OF CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT WOULD DEFER TO THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION, EXCEPT THAT AT ALL TIMES THE PROVISIONS FOR CREATION, PERFECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIENS AND SECURITY INTEREST CREATED PURSUANT HERETO AND PURSUANT TO THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ARKANSAS, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT BORROWER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT

 

74


THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY: (A) SUBMITS IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE IN PERSONAM JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR THE UNITED STATES COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION SITTING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LAW PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND AGREES TO SUIT BEING BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS, AS LENDER MAY ELECT; (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT; (C) AGREES TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BY MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF (BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, IF PRACTICABLE) POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY TELECOPY, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH ABOVE OR SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH LENDER SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED IN WRITING; AND (D) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT LENDER’S RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW, AND THAT LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (INCLUDING A PROCEEDING FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF A JUDGMENT ENTERED BY ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS) AGAINST BORROWER IN ANY OTHER COURT OR JURISDICTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.

(c) Borrower shall obtain from Deposit Bank its agreement to transfer, from and after such time as the Deposit Bank has received a Cash Management Activation Notice (as hereinafter defined) and until such time as the Deposit Bank has received a Cash Management De-Activation Notice (as hereinafter defined), all amounts on deposit in the Deposit Account to the Cash Management Account (as hereinafter defined) in immediately available funds by federal wire transfer once every Business Day.

 

78


(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any amounts then on deposit in the Deposit Account to the payment of the Obligations in any order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(e) The Deposit Account shall not be commingled with other monies held by Borrower or Deposit Bank.

(f) Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Deposit Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

(g) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Deposit Account and/or the Deposit Account Agreement or the performance of the obligations for which the Deposit Account was established, excluding any such actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses resulting from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h) For purposes of this Article XI, (i) the term “Cash Management Trigger Event Period” shall mean any period commencing on the occurrence of an Event of Default and continuing until the cure of any and all Events of Default, (ii) the term “Cash Management Activation Notice” shall mean a written notice from Lender or its servicer to the Deposit Bank stating that a Cash Management Trigger Event Period has commenced and instructing the Deposit Bank to transfer all available funds in the Deposit Account to the Cash Management Account in accordance with the Deposit Account Agreement, and (iii) the term “Cash Management Deactivation Notice” shall mean a written notice from Lender or its servicer to the Deposit Bank stating that a Cash Management Trigger Event Period no longer exists and instructing the Deposit Bank to transfer all available funds in the Deposit Account to an account designated by Borrower in accordance with the Deposit Account Agreement.

(a) Upon the first occurrence of a Cash Management Trigger Event Period, Borrower shall establish and maintain a segregated account (the “Cash Management Account”) to be held by a bank selected by Lender (a “Cash Management Bank”) in trust and for the benefit of Lender in accordance with an agreement among Borrower, Lender and Cash Management Bank, as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Cash Management Agreement”). The Cash Management Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. Lender and its servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account shall be paid by Borrower.

 

79


(b) On each Business Day during a Cash Management Trigger Event Period, all funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall be applied in the following amounts and order of priority:

(i) First, if required by Lender, funds sufficient to pay the next monthly deposit in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.8 hereof for Impositions and insurance premiums;

(ii) Second, funds sufficient to pay the fees and expenses of Cash Management Bank and Deposit Bank then due and payable to Cash Management Bank and Deposit Bank in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement and Deposit Account Agreement;

(vii) Seventh, the remaining amount (the “Excess Cash Flow”) shall be deposited into an account held by Lender as additional security for the Obligations. Upon the termination of a Cash Management Trigger Event Period, Lender shall release the Excess Cash Flow to Borrower.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any amounts then on deposit in the Cash Management Account to the payment of the Obligations in any order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(d) Borrower hereby agrees that Lender may modify the Cash Management Agreement for the purpose of establishing additional sub-accounts in connection with any payments otherwise required under this Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, which sub-accounts may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts. All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining such accounts shall be paid by Borrower.

 

80


11.3 Payments Received Under Cash Management Agreement. The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, and such obligation shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Payment Amount and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

ARTICLE XII

SERVICER

12.1 Servicer.

(a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer (together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to herein as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement and/or other agreement providing for the servicing of one or more mortgage loans (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for (i) any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs and expenses relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement in connection with the Loan, and (ii) any reasonable fees and expenses of Servicer (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in connection with any release of the Property, any cash management duties or activities, any prepayment, defeasance, assumption, amendment or modification of the Loan, any documents or matters requested by Borrower, or work-out of the Loan or enforcement of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses as and to the same extent (but without duplication) as Lender is entitled thereto under this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Upon notice thereof from Lender, Servicer shall have the right to exercise all rights of Lender and enforce all obligations of Borrower and Indemnitor pursuant to the provisions of this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Provided Borrower shall have been given notice of Servicer’s address by Lender, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Servicer duplicate originals of all notices and other documents and instruments which Borrower or Indemnitor may or shall be required to deliver to Lender pursuant to this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and no delivery of such notices or other documents and instruments by Borrower or Indemnitor shall be of any force or effect unless delivered to Lender and Servicer as provided above).

ARTICLE XIII

STATE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

13.1 Principles of Construction. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Article XIII and any other terms and conditions of this Security Instrument, the terms and conditions of this Article XIII shall control and be binding.

13.2 Homestead Rights. Borrower hereby waives all rights of homestead exemption in and all right of appraisement of the Property, and relinquishes all rights of curtsey and dower in the Property. Borrower further waives all rights of redemption of the Property, including the right of statutory redemption as provided by Act 153 of the Acts of 1899, presently codified as Arkansas Code Annotated Sections 18-49-106 and 16-66-502 and all rights of appraisal which otherwise might be available to Borrower pursuant to applicable law.

13.3 Exercise of Remedies. Any other term of this Security Instrument notwithstanding, Borrower acknowledges that Lender’s exercise of its remedies hereunder shall be subject to the following terms: Lender specifically reserves the right to pursue statutory foreclosure of Borrower’s rights under this Security Instrument pursuant to Arkansas Code Annotated Section 18-50-101, et seq., or, alternatively, to pursue judicial foreclosure of all of Borrower’s rights under this Security Instrument pursuant to Arkansas Code Annotated Section 18-49-101, et seq. No remedy shall be deemed exclusive, and pursuit of one remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of that remedy to the exclusion of any other remedy. In particular, Lender may pursue statutory foreclosure and abandon that remedy before completion and proceed to foreclosure judicially.
