(c) All payments and other amounts due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made without any setoff, defense or irrespective of, and without deduction for, counterclaims.

 

2.2.2Interest Calculation.

 

Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate equal to the Interest Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

2.2.6Usury Savings.

 

This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.

If any non-excluded Indemnified Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all non-excluded Indemnified Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non- excluded Indemnified Tax is payable pursuant to Applicable Law by Borrower, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt showing payment of such non excluded Indemnified Tax or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such non excluded Indemnified Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to all or the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and any or all of the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

8.2Remedies.

 

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property or any other Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the other Collateral and the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

 

- 57 -

 

 

(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property or Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property or any other Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.

 

(c) Lender shall have the right, from time to time, to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

 

- 58 -

 

 

8.3Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.

 

The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one or more Defaults or Events of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

 

8.4Waiver of Stay.

 

As an additional inducement to and material consideration for Lender making the Loan to Borrower, Borrower agrees that in the event a Bankruptcy or Judicial Action is commenced which subjects Lender to any stay in the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (individually and collectively, “Stay”), then Borrower irrevocably consents and agrees to the Stay being lifted and released against Lender, and Lender shall thereafter be entitled to exercise all of its rights and remedies against the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that it is knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waiving its rights to any Stay and agrees that the benefits provided to Borrower under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are valuable consideration for such waiver.

 

ARTICLE IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

 

9.1Sale of Notes.

 

Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer, pledge or assign the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents or participation interests in the Loan, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto. At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, shall satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace in connection with the sale or pledge of the Note and the other Loan Documents or participation interests in the Loan. If Lender elects, in its sole discretion, to split the loan into two or more parts, or the Note into multiple component notes or tranches which may have different interest rates, amortization payments, principal amounts, payment priorities and maturities, Borrower agrees to cooperate, at Borrower’s cost and expense, with Lender in connection with the foregoing and to execute the required modifications and amendments to the Note, this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same. Such Notes or components may be assigned different interest rates, so long as the initial weighted average of such interest rates does not exceed the Interest Rate.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall be responsible for a monthly fee in connection with the Servicing Agreement in the amount of $50.00. Borrower shall not be responsible for any other costs or fees relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement. Servicer shall, however, be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses as and to the same extent (but without duplication) that the Servicer is incurring same as an agent of Lender and Lender is entitled to be reimbursed for such expenses under the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Lender, by accepting this Agreement, the Note and the Security Instrument, agrees that it shall not, except as otherwise provided herein or in the Security Instrument, 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 this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under the Security Instrument; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any indemnity, guaranty (including, without limitation, the Guaranty), master lease or similar instrument made in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (vi) impair the right of Lender to enforce the provisions of the Security Instrument or Sections 4.1.8, 4.1.28, 5.1.9 and 5.2.8 hereof; or (vii) impair the right of Lender to obtain a deficiency judgment or other judgment on the Note against Borrower if necessary to (A) preserve or enforce its rights and remedies against the Property or (B) obtain any Insurance Proceeds or Awards to which Lender would otherwise be entitled under the terms of this Agreement or the Security Instrument; provided however, Lender shall only enforce such judgment to the extent of the Insurance Proceeds and/or Awards.
