5.Insurance Proceeds. Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the application of insurance proceeds, the proceeds of any hazard insurance shall be applied to or toward the Obligations secured hereby in such order as Agent may determine.

Mortgagor may apply for tax abatements and prosecute diligently and in good faith claims for refund so long as: (i) no additional taxes, interest thereon or penalties are incurred thereby, (ii) a sufficient tax reserve fund as determined by Agent in good faith has been deposited with Agent, and (iii) no proceedings are instituted to divest Mortgagor of title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or if instituted, Mortgagor has provided a bond issued by a surety reasonably acceptable to the Agent and sufficient to stay all such proceedings. Mortgagor shall pay all sums which, if unpaid, may result in the imposition of a lien on the Mortgaged Property before such lien may attach (except that real estate taxes need not be paid prior to the due date thereof) or which may result in conferring upon a tenant of any part or all of the Mortgaged Property a right to recover such sums as prepaid rent.

Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Credit Agreement, or in this Mortgage, it shall be an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, a breach of the conditions of this Mortgage and an event permitting Agent or any Lender to accelerate all indebtedness secured hereby, if, without Agent’s prior written consent in each instance, which consent may be granted, withheld or conditionally granted in Agent’s sole discretion: (a) there is any sale, conveyance, transfer (other than transfers of ownership interests, directly or indirectly, in Borrower or Mortgagor that do not violate the terms of the Credit Agreement and other than a transfer by a tenant of its interest in a Lease without Mortgagor’s consent, to the extent permitted by the terms of such Lease) or encumbrance of, or lien imposed upon (and not timely bonded off or resolved within thirty (30) days), all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property; or (b) there is a failure to comply with the provisions of, or there is a default under, any of the Permitted Title Exceptions by Mortgagor unless cured within any applicable grace period provided for in the applicable Permitted Title Exception and such failure results in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

11.Agent’s and Lenders’ Rights. If Mortgagor shall neglect or refuse: (a) to maintain and keep in good repair the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as required by this Mortgage or the Credit Agreement, or (b) to maintain and pay the premiums for insurance which may be required by this Mortgage or the Credit Agreement, or (c) to pay and discharge all taxes of whatsoever nature, assessments and charges of every nature and to whomever assessed, as required by this Mortgage or the Credit Agreement, or (d) to pay the sums required to be paid by this Mortgage or the Credit Agreement, or (e) to satisfy any other terms or conditions of this Mortgage, or any instrument secured hereby, Agent may, at its election in each instance, but without any obligation whatsoever to do so, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice (except in the case of (i) an emergency where there is danger to person or property, or (ii) required insurance coverage would lapse, or (iii) an Event of Default exists, in each of which events no notice shall be required), cause such repairs or replacements to be made, obtain such insurance or pay said taxes, assessments, charges, and sums, incur and pay reasonable amounts in protecting its rights hereunder and the security hereby granted, pay any balance due under any conditional agreement of sale (or lease) of any property included as a part of the Mortgaged Property, and pay any amounts as Agent deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to satisfy any term or condition of this Mortgage, which Mortgagor shall have failed to satisfy, or to remedy any breach of such term or condition, and any amounts or expenses so paid or incurred, together with interest thereon from the date of payment by Agent or the Lenders at the Default Rate as provided in the Note or Credit Agreement shall be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor to Agent and the Lenders and until paid shall be secured hereby equally and ratably, and the same may be collected as part of said principal debt in any suit hereon or upon the Note or the Subsidiary Guaranty, as applicable. No payment by Agent or the Lenders shall relieve Mortgagor from any default hereunder or impair any right or remedy of Agent consequent thereon.

 

 -7- 

 

 

12.Certain Expenses. If any action or proceeding is commenced, including, without limitation, an action to foreclose this Mortgage or to collect the debt hereby secured, to which action or proceeding Agent or any Lender is made a party by reason of the execution of this Mortgage, or by reason of any Obligation which it secures, or by reason of entry or any other action under this Mortgage, or if in Agent’s judgment it becomes necessary in connection with legal proceedings or otherwise to defend or uphold the mortgage hereby granted or the lien hereby created or any act taken to defend or uphold the mortgage hereby granted or the lien hereby created or any act taken under this Mortgage, all sums reasonably paid or incurred by Agent or any Lender for the expense of any litigation or otherwise, in connection with any rights created by this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, shall be paid by Mortgagor, or may at the option of Agent, if not so paid, be added to the debt secured hereby and shall be secured hereby equally and ratably and shall bear interest until paid at the Default Rate set forth in the Note or the Credit Agreement.

 

13.Regarding Leases. As to all leases and occupancy agreements, Agent, at its option from time to time, may require that all security deposits and similar funds or security provided by a lessee or occupant be deposited with Agent, or with an escrow agent satisfactory to Agent, subject to the rights of the lessee or occupant, but otherwise subject, with respect to Mortgagor’s rights therein, to a security interest in favor of Agent.

 

14.Declaration of Subordination. At the option of Agent, which may be exercised at any time or from time to time, by written notice to Mortgagor and to any applicable tenant, this Mortgage shall become subject and subordinate, in whole or in part (but not with respect to priority of entitlement to insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds), to any and all leases of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property upon the execution by Agent and recording or filing thereof, at any time hereafter in the appropriate official records of the county wherein the Mortgaged Property are situated of a unilateral declaration to that effect.

 

 -8- 

 

 

15.Assignment of Rents. (i) As further security for the repayment of the Obligations and any amounts due pursuant to this Mortgage, Mortgagor does hereby sell, assign and transfer to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, all rents, leases, issues, deposits and profits now due and which may hereinafter become due under or by reason of any lease or any letting of, or any agreement for the use, sale, or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof (whether written or verbal), which may have been heretofore or may hereafter be made or agreed to or which may be made or agreed to by Agent under the powers herein granted, including without limitation sale contracts, leases, escrow and other agreements, it being Mortgagor’s intention hereby to establish an absolute transfer and assignment of all such leases, contracts, escrows and agreements pertaining thereto (such leases, contracts, escrows and agreements being collectively referred to hereinbelow as “agreements” and any such individual lease, contract, escrow or other agreement being referred to hereinbelow as an “agreement”), and all the avails thereof, to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders.

 

So long as (i) no Event of Default exists and (ii) no default has occurred and is continuing uncured beyond the applicable notice and grace period, if any, in the performance of any obligation, covenant or agreement herein, or in the other Loan Documents, contained and on the part of Mortgagor to be performed (collectively, a “Continuing Default”), Mortgagor shall have the right and license to manage, lease and operate the Mortgaged Property and to collect at the time of, but not more than one (1) month prior to, the date provided for the payment thereof, all rents, income and profits arising under the Leases or from the premises described therein and, subject to the provisions of the other Loan Documents, to retain, use and enjoy the same.

 

At any time when a Continuing Default exists, Agent, without in any way waiving such default, may at its option, without notice, and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the obligations secured hereby revoke the right and license granted above to Mortgagor and Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably appoint Agent as its true and lawful attorney in its name and stead (with or without taking possession of the Mortgaged Property) to rent, lease, let, or sell all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property to any party or parties at such price and upon such term as Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, to exercise any and all rights including rights of first refusal and options of any Mortgagor to purchase and otherwise acquire title to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and to collect all of such rents, issues, deposits, profits and avails now due or that may hereafter become due under any and all of such agreements or other tenancies now or hereafter existing on the Mortgaged Property, with the same rights and powers and subject to the same immunities, exoneration of liability and rights of recourse and indemnity as Agent would have upon taking possession of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the provisions set forth hereinbelow.

 

This assignment confers upon Agent a power coupled with an interest and it cannot be revoked by Mortgagor.

 

(ii)          Mortgagor represents and agrees that without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, no rent for right of future possession will be paid by any person in possession of any portion of the Mortgaged Property in excess of one installment thereof paid in advance (other than with respect to security deposits and last month’s rents collected in the ordinary course of business) and that no payment of rents to become due for any portion of the Mortgaged Property has been or will be waived, conceded, released, reduced, discounted, or otherwise discharged or compromised by Mortgagor other than in connection with the grant of market related concessions appropriate to attract tenants. Mortgagor agrees that it will not assign any of such rents, issues, profits, deposits or avails other than with respect to the Loan or as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

 

 -9- 

 

 

(iii)         Mortgagor further agrees to assign and transfer to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, all future leases and agreements pertaining to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property and to execute and deliver to Agent, immediately upon demand of Agent, all such further assurances and assignments pertaining to the Mortgaged Property as Agent may from time to time require.

 

(iv)         Mortgagor shall, at its own cost: (a) at all times materially perform and observe all of the covenants, conditions and agreements of the lessor under the terms of any or all Leases or similar agreements affecting all or any part of the Mortgaged Property; (b) at all times enforce and secure the performance and observance of all of the material covenants, conditions and agreements of the lessees under the terms of any or all of said Leases or other agreements; (c) appear in and defend any action or other proceeding arising out of or in any manner connected with said Leases and other agreements, and to pay any and all costs of Agent incurred by reason of or in connection with said proceedings, including, without limitation, reasonable and actual attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs; and (d) promptly furnish Agent with copies of any notices of default either sent or received by Mortgagor under the terms of or pursuant to any of said Leases or other agreements.

 

(v)          Although it is the intention of Mortgagor and Agent that the assignment, including, without limitation, the power of attorney appointment, contained in this Section 15 is a present assignment, it is expressly understood and agreed, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, that Agent shall not exercise any of the rights and powers conferred upon it herein unless and until an Event of Default has occurred, and is continuing.

 

(vi)         Agent, in the exercise of the rights and powers conferred upon it herein, shall have full power to use and apply the rents, issues, deposits, profits and avails of the Mortgaged Property to the payment of or on account of the following, in such order as set forth in the Credit Agreement or, if not addressed therein, in such order as Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion determine:

Such appointment may be made either before or after sale, without notice; without regard to the solvency or insolvency, at the time of application for such receiver, of the person or persons, if any, liable for the payment of the Obligations; without regard to the value of the Mortgaged Property at such time and whether or not the same is then occupied as a homestead; without bond being required of the applicant; and Agent hereunder or any employee or agent thereof may be appointed as such receiver. Such receiver shall have all powers and duties prescribed by Florida law, including the power to take possession, control and care of the Mortgaged Property and to collect all rents, issues, deposits, profits and avails thereof during the pendency of such foreclosure suit and apply all funds received toward the Obligations, and in the event of a sale and a deficiency where Mortgagor has not waived its statutory rights of redemption, during the full statutory period of redemption, as well as during any further times when Mortgagor or its devisees, legatees, administrators, legal representatives, successors or assigns, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collect such rents, issues, deposits, profits and avails, and shall have all other powers that may be necessary or useful in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Mortgaged Property during the whole of any such period. To the extent permitted by law, such receiver may extend or modify any then existing Leases and make new Leases of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, which extensions, modifications and new Leases may provide for terms to expire, or for options to lessees to extend or renew terms to expire, beyond the maturity date of the Loan, it being understood and agreed that any such Leases, and the options or other such provisions to be contained therein, shall be binding upon Mortgagor and all persons whose interests in the Mortgaged Property are subject to the lien hereof, and upon the purchaser or purchasers at any such foreclosure sale, notwithstanding any redemption from sale, discharge of indebtedness, satisfaction of foreclosure decree or issuance of certificate of sale or deed to any purchaser.

Without limitation express or implied upon the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the right to do all things necessary or desirable in order to keep in full force and effect all applicable licenses, permits and authorizations and any amendments thereto.

 

19.5        Pay Costs and Expenses.

19.6        Add to Secured Indebtedness. All obligations so paid or incurred by Agent shall be reimbursed or paid for by Mortgagor upon demand and prior to the repayment thereof shall be added to the Obligations secured hereby and shall bear interest at the Default Rate provided for in the Note, the Subsidiary Guaranty or the Credit Agreement, and shall be secured hereby equally and ratably. Agent may also reimburse itself therefor from the income or receipts of the Mortgaged Property or any business conducted thereon, or from the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. Agent may also apply toward any of the Obligations any tax or insurance reserve account, deposit or any sum credited or due from Agent to Mortgagor without first enforcing any other rights of Agent against Mortgagor or against any endorser or guarantor of any of the Obligations or against the Mortgaged Property.

STATE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

 

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Exhibit C and any other provisions of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Exhibit C shall control.

 

1.The maximum guaranteed Obligations which may be secured hereby at any one time is Forty Million Six Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($40,625,000.00), plus interest and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes, levies or insurance on the Mortgaged Property, with interest on those disbursements, plus any increase in the principal balance as the result of negative amortization or deferred interest, plus the costs of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees. This Mortgage shall secure such future advances as may be made by Mortgagee at its option and for any purpose, until the final maturity date of the indebtedness secured hereby. All such future advances shall be included within the terms “Obligations”, “secured indebtedness” and “indebtedness secured hereby”, shall be secured to the same extent as if made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage, and shall take priority as to third persons without actual notice from the time this Mortgage is filed for record as provided by law. Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which Mortgagee may grant or withhold in its sole discretion, Mortgagor shall not file for record any notice limiting the maximum guaranteed Obligations that may be secured by this Mortgage to a sum less than the maximum guaranteed Obligations set forth in this paragraph. To the extent, if any, provided in the Guaranty, interest or discount will be deferred, accrued or capitalized.

 

2.Future Advance Mortgage. This Mortgage is a "Future Advance Mortgage" under Chapter 697.04 Florida Statutes et seq. In addition, this Mortgage is intended to be and is a mortgage to secure the payment of such future or additional advances as may be made by Agent and the Lenders at their option to Borrowers, or their successors in title, for any purpose, provided that all those advances are to be made within twenty (20) years from the date of this Mortgage or within such lesser period of time as may be provided hereafter by law as a prerequisite for the sufficiency of actual notice or record notice of the optional future or additional advances as against the rights of creditors or subsequent purchasers for valuable consideration. The total amount of Obligations secured by this Mortgage may decrease or increase from time to time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at any one time shall not exceed twice the principal amount of the Note, plus interest that may have accrued thereon, together with any disbursements made for the payment of taxes, levies or insurance on the Real Estate covered by the lien of this Mortgage, including interest on all such disbursements. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed an obligation on the part of the Agent or any Lender to make any future advances.

3.Conflict of Laws. Agent on behalf of Lenders shall be entitled to all rights and remedies that a mortgagee would have under Florida law or in equity during the continuance of an Event of Default in addition to all rights and remedies it may have hereunder. Where any provision of this Mortgage is inconsistent with any provision of Florida law regulating the creation, perfection or enforcement of a lien or security interest in real or personal property, the provisions of such Florida law, as amended from time to time, shall take precedence over the provisions of this Mortgage, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provisions of this Mortgage that can be construed in a manner consistent with Florida law. Should applicable Florida law confer any rights or impose any duties inconsistent with or in addition to any of the provisions of this Mortgage, the affected provisions of this Mortgage shall be considered amended to conform to such applicable law, but all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect without modification.
