ARTICLE III.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
Operating Tenant represents and warrants that, except as otherwise disclosed to or known by Lender as of the date of hereof:
 
Section 3.1 Validity of Security Agreement; Consents. The execution, delivery and performance of this Security Agreement and the creation of the security interests provided for herein (i) do not violate any law or regulation or any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality applicable to Operating Tenant, (ii) do not conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which Operating Tenant is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, (iii) do not result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any property of Operating Tenant other than in favor of Lender, and (iv) do not require the consent or approval of any governmental body, agency or official or other person other than those that have been obtained. This Security Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Operating Tenant and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Operating Tenant, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights generally and by general provisions of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
 
Section 3.2. Title to Collateral. Except for the security interests granted to Lender pursuant to this Security Agreement, Operating Tenant is the sole owner of each item of the Collateral, having good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, security interests and claims of others.
 
Section 3.3. Validity, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests.
 
(a)           By complying with Section 4.1, Operating Tenant will have created a valid security interest in favor of Lender in all existing Collateral and in all identifiable Proceeds of such Collateral, which security interest, to the extent that such a security interest can be perfected by a UCC filing, would be prior to the claims of a trustee in bankruptcy under Section 544(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Continuing compliance by Operating Tenant with the provisions of Section 4.2 will also (i) create valid security interests in all Collateral acquired after the date hereof and in all identifiable Proceeds of such Collateral and, (ii) cause such security interests in all Collateral and in all Proceeds which are (A) identifiable cash Proceeds of Collateral covered by financing statements required to be filed hereunder, (B) identifiable Proceeds in which a security interest may be perfected by such filing under the UCC, and (C) any identifiable cash Proceeds in any bank account owned or controlled by Borrower or Operating Tenant to be duly perfected under the UCC, in each case prior to the claims of a trustee in bankruptcy under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
 
(b)           The security interests of Lender in the Collateral rank first in priority. Other than financing statements or other similar documents perfecting the security interests or deed of trust liens of Lender, no financing statements, deeds of trust, mortgages or similar documents covering all or any part of the Collateral are on file or of record in any government office in any jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect a security interest in such Collateral, nor is any of the Collateral in the possession of any Person (other than Operating Tenant) asserting any claim thereto or security interest therein.

No amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral is evidenced by promissory notes or other instruments other than checks received and processed in the ordinary course of business. The real estate listed in Schedule 3 constitutes all existing real estate to which any of the Collateral is related.

(a)           all payments received by Operating Tenant under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be held by Operating Tenant in trust for Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of Operating Tenant and shall forthwith upon receipt by Operating Tenant be turned over to Lender, in the same form as received by Operating Tenant (duly indorsed by Operating Tenant to Lender, if required to permit collection thereof by Lender); and
 
(b)           all such payments received by Lender (whether from Operating Tenant or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Lender, be held by Lender as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by Lender to the payment of the expenses and Obligations as set forth in Section 5.10.
 
Section 5.3. Possession of Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, Operating Tenant expressly agrees that, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may (i) by judicial powers, or without judicial process if it can be done without breach of the peace, enter any premises where any of such Collateral is or may be located, and without charge or liability to Lender seize and remove such Collateral from such premises and (ii) have access to and use of Operating Tenant's books and records relating to such Collateral.

Section 5.4.  Sale of Collateral.
 
(a)           Operating Tenant expressly agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender, without demand of performance or other demand or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of the time and place of any public or private sale) to Operating Tenant or any other Person (all of which demands and/or notices are hereby waived by Operating Tenant), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral and/or forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral (or contract to do so) or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at any office of Lender or elsewhere in such manner as is commercially reasonable and as Lender may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold. Operating Tenant further agrees, at Lender's request, to assemble the Collateral, and to make it available to Lender at places which Lender may reasonably select. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Operating Tenant waives all claims, damages and demands against Lender arising out of the foreclosure, repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral.
 
(b)           Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market, Lender shall give Operating Tenant five (5) days written notice of its intention to make any such public or private sale or sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange. Such notice shall (i) in the case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (ii) in the case of a sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or any portion thereof being sold, will first be offered for sale, and (iii) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated. Lender shall not be required or obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. Lender may adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral for credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Lender until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Lender shall not incur any liability in case of failure of such purchaser to pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice.
 
Section 5.5. Rights of Purchasers. Upon any sale of the Collateral (whether public or private), Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser (including Lender) at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold free from any claim or right of whatever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Operating Tenant, and Operating Tenant, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, including, without limitation, the right to redeem the Collateral under Section 9-506 of the UCC, and any right to a judicial or other stay or approval which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted.
 
 
13

 
Section 5.6.    Additional Rights of Lender.
 
(a)           Lender shall have the right and power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem appropriate to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Security Agreement and may proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity to enforce such rights and to foreclose upon and sell the Collateral or any part thereof pursuant to the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
(b)           Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law and without regard to the solvency or insolvency at the time of any Person then liable for the payment of any of the Obligations or the then value of the Collateral, and without requiring any bond from any party to such proceedings, be entitled to the appointment of a special receiver or receivers (who may be Lender) for the Collateral or any part thereof and for the rents, issues, tolls, profits, royalties, revenues and other income therefrom, which receiver shall have such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and to the entry of an order directing that the rents, issues, tolls, profits, royalties, revenues and other income of the property constituting the whole or any part of the Collateral be segregated, sequestered and impounded for the benefit of Lender, and Operating Tenant irrevocably consents to the appointment of such receiver or receivers and to the entry of such order.
 
Section 5.7. Remedies Not Exclusive.
 
(a)           No remedy conferred upon or reserved to Lender in this Security Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, but every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute.
 
(b)           If Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right, remedy or power under this Security Agreement and the proceeding for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to Lender, Operating Tenant and Lender shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, severally and respectively be restored to their former positions and rights under this Security Agreement, and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of Lender shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.
 
(c)           All rights of action under this Security Agreement may be enforced by Lender without the possession of any instrument evidencing any Obligation or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any suit or proceeding instituted by Lender shall be brought in its name and any judgment shall be held as part of the Collateral.
 
Section 5.8. Waiver and Estoppel.
 
(a)           Operating Tenant, to the extent it may lawfully do so, agrees that it will not at any time in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium, turnover or redemption law, or any law now or hereafter in force permitting it to direct the order in which the Collateral shall be sold which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this Security Agreement and Operating Tenant hereby waives the benefits or advantage of all such laws, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the rightful execution of any power granted to Lender in this Security Agreement but will permit the execution of every such power as though no such law were in force; provided that nothing contained in this Section 5.8 shall be construed as a waiver of any rights of Operating Tenant under any applicable federal bankruptcy law.
 
 
14

 
(b)           Operating Tenant, to the extent it may lawfully do so, on behalf of itself and all who may claim through or under it, including without limitation any and all subsequent creditors, vendees, assignees and lienors, waives and releases all rights to demand or to have any marshaling of the Collateral upon any sale, whether made under any power of sale granted herein or pursuant to judicial proceedings or upon any foreclosure or any enforcement of this Security Agreement and consents and agrees that all the Collateral may at any such sale be offered and sold as an entirety.
 
(c)           Operating Tenant, to the extent it may lawfully do so, waives presentment, demand, protest and any notice of any kind (except notices explicitly required hereunder) in connection with this Security Agreement and any action taken by Lender with respect to the Collateral.
 
Section 5.9. Power of Attorney. Operating Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Operating Tenant and in the name of Operating Tenant or in its own name, from time to time in Lender's reasonable discretion for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives Lender the power and right, on behalf of Operating Tenant, without notice to or assent by Operating Tenant to do the following:
 
(a)           to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; provided, however, that Operating Tenant shall have the same right to contest or remove such taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrance as may be afforded to Borrower under the Loan Documents;
 
(b)           to effect any insurance called for by the terms of this Security Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and
 
(c)           upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default and otherwise to the extent provided in this Security Agreement, (i) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due and to come due thereunder directly to Lender or as Lender shall direct; (ii) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (iii) to sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iv) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (v) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Operating Tenant with respect to any Collateral; (vi) to settle, compromise and adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Lender may deem appropriate; and (vii) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Lender's option and Operating Tenant's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Lender's security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Operating Tenant might do.
 
 
15

 
Operating Tenant hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
 
Section 5.10. Application of Proceeds. Lender shall retain the net proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of the Collateral and, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care and safekeeping of any or all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of Lender hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, apply such net proceeds to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations in such order as Lender may elect. Only after applying such net proceeds and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Sections 9-608 or 9-615 of the UCC, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Operating Tenant or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to the same.
 
ARTICLE VI.

Section 6.2. No Waivers. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Security Agreement or any document or agreement contemplated hereby shall operate as a waiver thereof or shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
 
Section 6.3. Compensation and Expenses of Lender. Operating Tenant shall pay to Lender from time to time upon demand, all of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and any amounts payable by Lender to any of its agents, whether on account of fees, indemnities or otherwise) (i) arising in connection with the administration, modification, amendment, waiver or termination of this Security Agreement or any document or agreement contemplated hereby or any consent or waiver hereunder or thereunder or (ii) incurred in connection with the administration of this Security Agreement, or any document or agreement contemplated hereby, or in connection with the administration, sale or other disposition of Collateral hereunder or under any document or agreement contemplated hereby or the preservation, protection or defense of the rights of Lender in and to the Collateral.
