Section 3.2 Remedies. In addition to any other rights and remedies which Beneficiary or Trustee may have under this Deed of Trust, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents or pursuant to law or equity, and without limitation thereof, upon and at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Beneficiary or Trustee, as applicable, at any time may take such lawful action as Beneficiary reasonably deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Grantor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Beneficiary may determine in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Beneficiary or Trustee (to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents and applicable law):

(a) declare the whole of the principal sum of the Amended Loan, Interest, Additional Interest, along with any other sum payable under the Note, the Loan Agreement, this Deed of Trust and any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and non-payment or other notice of default or notice of acceleration or notice of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Grantor and all other parties obligated in any manner whatsoever on the Obligations;

(b) enter into or upon the Mortgaged Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys, and dispossess Grantor and its agents and employees therefrom, and thereupon Beneficiary may (i), subject to the terms of the Manager SNDA, use, operate, manage, lease, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business thereat on such terms and for such period as Beneficiary shall determine, (ii) complete any construction on the Mortgaged Property in such manner and form as Beneficiary deems advisable as permitted pursuant to the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (iii) subject to the terms of the Manager SNDA, make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Mortgaged Property, (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Grantor with respect to the Mortgaged Property, including the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict Lessees, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and other income of the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof and as otherwise may be set forth in the Assignment of Leases and Rents, and (v), subject to the terms of the Manager SNDA and the Loan Agreement, apply the receipts from the Mortgaged Property to the payment of the indebtedness secured thereby, in the order and manner set forth in the Loan Agreement and the Note after deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges in connection with the Mortgaged Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Beneficiary or Trustee and their counsel, agents and employees. If Grantor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof after Beneficiary’s demand, Beneficiary may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on Beneficiary the right to immediate possession or requiring Grantor to deliver immediate possession of all or part of the Mortgaged Property to the Beneficiary, to the entry of which judgment of decree Grantor hereby specifically consents. Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary, upon demand, all costs and expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree and reasonable compensation to Beneficiary, its attorneys and agents, and all such costs, expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by the lien of this Deed of

 

12


Trust. Beneficiary, at its election, and without notice to Grantor, may, to preserve its interest in the Mortgaged Property, make any payments which the Grantor has failed to make under any Permitted Encumbrance, and any such sums so paid shall be secured hereby and be immediately due and payable from Grantor upon demand of Beneficiary shall not release Grantor from the Grantor’s obligations or constitute a waiver of the Grantor’s default hereunder. Beneficiary shall surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to the Grantor only when all that is due upon such interest and principal, including, without limitation, the principal balance of the Note following acceleration thereof, tax and insurance deposits, and all amounts under any of the terms of this Deed of Trust, shall have been paid in full;

(c) institute proceedings, judicial or nonjudicial (to the extent applicable under applicable Legal Requirements), for the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, in which case the Mortgaged Property may be sold for cash or credit in one or more parcels;

(d) with or without entry and, to the extent permitted, and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable Legal Requirements, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Deed of Trust for the portion of the indebtedness secured hereby then due and payable, subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust continuing unimpaired and without loss of the priority so as to secure the balance of the indebtedness secured hereby not then due;

(e) sell the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Grantor therein and rights of redemption thereof, to the extent permitted pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, at one or more sales, in whole or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law, and in the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Mortgaged Property, this Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien on the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property;

(f) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenants, conditions or agreements contained herein or in the Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(g) recover judgment on the Note or any guaranty in one or more actions which may be primary or for a deficiency either before, during, after or in lieu of any proceedings for the enforcement of this Deed of Trust;

(h) apply for the appointment of a custodian, trustee, receiver, liquidator or conservator of the Mortgaged Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the indebtedness secured hereby and without regard for the solvency of Grantor, any guarantor or of any Person liable for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby and Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver, and will not oppose any such appointment;

(i) exercise any other rights or remedies as Beneficiary or Trustee may have under any of the other Loan Documents; or

 

13


(j) pursue such other legal or equitable remedies as Beneficiary or Trustee may have under applicable Legal Requirements, including all rights and remedies under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code.

Section 3.3 Actions for Possession. Without limiting the rights of Beneficiary or Trustee pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee may further, during the continuance of an Event of Default, by summary proceedings, initiate an action for possession or otherwise, dispossess any Lessee then or thereafter in default in the payment of any Rent or other charge for the use thereof, and Lessee whose leasehold estates or rights to use the Mortgaged Property are subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust, whether or not any such Lessee is so in default. During the continuance of an Event of Default, if Grantor remains in possession after demand by Beneficiary for surrender of possession of the Mortgaged Property, such continued possession by Grantor shall be as tenant of Beneficiary, and Grantor agrees to pay monthly in advance to Beneficiary such rent for the Mortgaged Property so occupied as Beneficiary may demand, and in default of so doing, Grantor may also be dispossessed by summary proceedings or otherwise. In case of the appointment of a receiver of the Rents, the foregoing agreement of Grantor to pay rent shall inure to the benefit of such receiver.

Section 3.4 Assembly of Mortgaged Property. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may require Grantor to assemble the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and make it available to Beneficiary at the Property or at such other place as Beneficiary may reasonably designate.

Section 3.5 Surrender of Insurance Policies. In the event of the transfer of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, Beneficiary may surrender the insurance policies maintained pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, or any part thereof, and receive and apply the unearned premiums as a credit on the Obligations, and in connection therewith, Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to collect such premiums.

Section 3.6 Retention of Mortgaged Property. Beneficiary may retain any portion of the Mortgaged Property which does not constitute real property, or part thereof, in satisfaction of the Obligations, or part thereof, whenever the circumstances are such that Beneficiary is entitled to do so under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code.

Section 3.7 Purchase of the Mortgaged Property. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may buy the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, at any public sale or judicial sale in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. Beneficiary may also buy the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, at any private sale if the Mortgaged Property, or part thereof, being sold is a type customarily sold in a recognized market or a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations. In lieu of paying cash for the purchase of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this or any other clause herein, Beneficiary may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action and any other sums which Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under this Deed of Trust.

 

14


Section 3.8 Sale of the Mortgaged Property. Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by Beneficiary or Trustee pursuant to the terms of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, granting, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold without any covenants, warranties or representations. Grantor, if so requested by Beneficiary, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Beneficiary or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be necessary, in the judgment of the title insurance company insuring such instruments, for such purpose, and as may be designated in such request. Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Grantor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be perpetual both at law and in equity against Grantor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, either from, through or under Grantor.

Section 3.9 Adjournment of Sale of Mortgaged Property. Beneficiary or Trustee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, Beneficiary or Trustee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.

ARTICLE IV.

LEASES AND RENTS

Section 4.1 Compliance. Grantor shall comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions in the Loan Agreement, this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Leases and Rents.

Section 4.2 Leases. Except as set forth in Section 4.4 of the Loan Agreement, Grantor shall not (a) enter into, amend, modify, extend, renew, restate or supplement any Lease, (b) terminate or accept a surrender or shorten the term of, reduce the payment of the rent under, materially modify any of the provisions of, or grant any material consent (except to the extent such consent is required under such Lease) or waiver under, any Lease, (c) terminate, modify, grant any waiver under or otherwise amend any guaranty provided with respect to a Lease, in each case without the prior written consent of Beneficiary or (d) accept the payment of Rent under any Lease more than one (1) month in advance (exclusive of any security deposit received in connection therewith).

Section 4.3 Assignment.

(a) Grantor does hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably grant, transfer, convey and assign to Beneficiary all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to all Leases, Rents, Lease Guaranties and Lease Security, subject, however, to the license granted

 

15


by Beneficiary to Grantor in Section 4.3(b) hereof and subject to the terms of the Manager SNDA. This assignment of Leases, Rents, Lease Guaranties and Lease Security constitutes an absolute, irrevocable and present assignment, subject to the grant of a license by Beneficiary to Grantor to collect and use such Rents and, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, take all actions of landlord under the Leases, Lease Guaranties and Lease Security in accordance with Section 4.3(b) hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at its option, revoke such license by notice to Grantor, and all Rents collected and held by Grantor after the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default shall be paid over to Beneficiary and applied as provided in the Loan Agreement, subject to the terms of the Manager SNDA. The assignment contained in this Section 4.3 shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of either party and Beneficiary shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to all Rents, which Rents upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be held by Grantor as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary only, whether or not Beneficiary shall take possession of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary may at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, notify each and/or any Lessee of the assignment granted hereunder.

(b) So long as Beneficiary has not revoked the license to collect and use Rents described in Section 4.3(a) hereof by reason of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, this Deed of Trust and the Assignment of Leases and Rents, and the Manager SNDA, to collect and receive all Rents for application in accordance with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, to take any other actions of landlord under the Leases, Lease Guaranties and Lease Security as Grantor shall elect.

Section 4.4 Debtor Relief Laws.

(a) Without limiting the generality of any provision of this Article IV, if a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code is commenced by or against Grantor, then, pursuant to Section 552(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, the security interest granted by this Deed of Trust shall automatically extend to all Rents acquired by Grantor after the commencement of the case and such Rents shall constitute cash collateral under Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) During the continuation of any Event of Default, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to file in its own name or on behalf of Grantor, any proof of claim in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding in which the debtor is a Lessee or guarantor under a Lease.

ARTICLE V.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 5.1 Release of Deed of Trust. If the Obligations are paid and performed in full in accordance with the terms of this Deed of Trust, the Note and other Loan Documents, then this Deed of Trust shall, at Grantor’s request either be satisfied of record or

 

16


assigned, without recourse, pursuant to an instrument acceptable to Beneficiary, to another lender designated by Grantor at Grantor’s request and expense, but shall remain in full force and effect until so satisfied, in each case at the expense of Grantor, including the payment of any reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements in connection with such satisfaction or assignment.

Section 5.2 Rights Cumulative. All rights, remedies, powers, privileges and liens expressly conferred by the Loan Documents are cumulative of all other rights, remedies, powers, privileges and liens herein, or by law or in equity provided, or provided in any other Loan Documents, and shall not be deemed to deprive Beneficiary of any such other legal or equitable rights, remedies, powers, privileges and liens by judicial proceedings, or otherwise, appropriate to enforce the conditions, covenants and terms of this Deed of Trust, the Note and the other Loan Documents, and the employment of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate rights, remedies, powers and privileges.

Section 5.3 Amendments, Waivers, Consents and Approvals. No failure or delay of Trustee or Beneficiary in exercising any power, right or remedy hereunder or to demand payment for any sums due pursuant to this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No waiver of any provision of this Deed of Trust or in any of the other Loan Documents or consent to any departure by Grantor or any other Person therefrom shall in any event be effective unless signed in writing by Beneficiary, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Consents, approvals and waivers granted by Beneficiary for any matters covered under this Deed of Trust or any Loan Document shall not be effective unless signed in writing by Beneficiary, and such consents, approvals and waivers shall be narrowly construed to cover only the parties and facts identified in any such consent, approval or waiver. No notice or demand on Grantor or any other Person in any case shall entitle Grantor or such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Unless expressly provided to the contrary, any consents, approvals or waivers of Beneficiary or Lenders pursuant to this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Documents shall be granted or withheld in Beneficiary’s or Lenders’ sole discretion, as the case may be. No amendment, modification or termination of any provision of this Deed of Trust shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Grantor and Beneficiary.

Section 5.4 Other Waivers. Grantor hereby waives (a) all rights of marshaling in the event of any foreclosure of the liens hereby created and (b) the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension and redemption laws now or hereafter in force.

Section 5.5 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Deed of Trust or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in a particular jurisdiction or as to particular Persons or circumstances, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein (or the effectiveness of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision in a different jurisdiction or as to different Persons or circumstances) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,

 

17


illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. If the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and liens created by this Deed of Trust shall be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Obligations, then the unsecured portion of the Obligations shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining and secured portion of the Obligations, and all payments made on the Obligations shall be considered to have been paid on and applied first to the complete payment of the unsecured portion of the Obligations.

Section 5.6 Binding Effect; Covenants Running with the Land. The provisions of this Deed of Trust shall be binding upon Grantor, and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Trustee and Beneficiary, and their respective successors and assigns, and the provisions hereof shall likewise be covenants running with the land.

Section 5.7 Counterparts. This Deed of Trust may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which when taken together shall be one and the same Deed of Trust. Signature and acknowledgment pages may be attached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of the document to physically form one document, which may be recorded.

Section 5.8 Financing Statement. Beneficiary shall have the right at any time to file this Deed of Trust as a financing statement, but the failure to do so shall not impair the validity and enforceability of this Deed of Trust against Grantor in any respect whatsoever. A carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this Deed of Trust, or any financing statement relating to this Deed of Trust, shall be sufficient as a financing statement. Furthermore, Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary at any time to file any financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements therefor, regarding all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, with or without the signature of Grantor as authorized by applicable Legal Requirements. For purposes of such filings, Grantor agrees to furnish any information, or take any further acts, within five (5) Business Days, upon reasonable request therefor by Beneficiary.

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, in the event that Beneficiary shall fail to give any notice to any Person under this Deed of Trust, the sole and exclusive remedy for such failure shall be to seek appropriate equitable relief to enforce this Deed of Trust to give such notice and to have any action of such Person postponed or revoked and any proceedings in connection therewith delayed or terminated pending the giving of such notice by Beneficiary, and no Person shall have any right to damages (whether actual or consequential) or any other type of relief against Beneficiary not specifically provided for herein, all of which damages or other relief are hereby expressly waived. The foregoing is not intended and shall not be deemed under any circumstances to require Beneficiary to give notice of any type or nature to any Person except as expressly required hereby or thereby, or by applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 5.16 Choice of Forum; Consent to Service of Process and Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury. Grantor irrevocably (a) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Deed of Trust, the Note or the other Loan Documents may be brought in the courts of the United States of America or in the courts of the state where the Property is located, in each case, located in the county where the Property is located, (b) consents to the jurisdiction of each such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and (c) waives any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any of such courts and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Grantor irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such suit, action or proceeding by service of copies of such process to Grantor at its address provided in Section 5.11 hereof, as the same may be changed pursuant to Section 5.11 hereof. Nothing in this Section 5.16, however, shall affect the right of Beneficiary to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Beneficiary to bring any suit, action or proceeding against Grantor or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction. GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES AND BENEFICIARY, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS DEED OF TRUST, HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR

21


to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein.

The exercise of this right to appoint a successor trustee, no matter how often exercised, shall not be deemed an exhaustion of said right.
