2.3.2 Default Rate. In addition to all other rights contained in the Loan Documents, if an Event of Default occurs, the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations, other than Obligations under any Swap Agreements between Borrower and Lender or its Lender Affiliates, may, at Lender's option, bear interest at the Default Rate. The Default Rate shall apply from acceleration until such Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in full.
2.3.3 Maximum Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, or in any other document, if at any time before the payment in full of the Obligations, any of the rates of interest specified in this Agreement (the “Stated Rates”) exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then in such event and so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rates shall be less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, then, subject to Section 2.3.4 below, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Lender is equal to the total interest which Lender would have received had the Stated Rates been (but for the operation of this Section 2.3.3 the interest rates payable; thereafter, the interest rates payable shall be the Stated Rates unless and until any of the Stated Rates shall again exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this Section 2.3.3 shall again apply.

In determining whether the interest exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate or the maximum amount which Lender could lawfully have received, the total amount of interest shall, to the extent allowed by law, be spread over the term of the Loans.
2.4 Repayment of Loans; Making of Payments.
2.4.1 Optional Principal Payments. Each Loan and all Loans are prepayable without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, at any time; provided, however, that the Borrower must provide Lender at least one (1) Business Day's prior written irrevocable notice of such prepayment.

2.5.3 Time and Location of Payment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set‑off or counterclaim (subject to any tax withholdings required by law; provided, however, that Borrower has given prior written notice of such withholdings to Lender, which notice shall state the amount of such withholdings and a detailed description of the basis for such withholdings), not later than 12:00 noon (local time Charlotte, North Carolina) on the date when due by wire transfer to Lender as follows: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Account #[ Confidential information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a Confidential Treatment Request.], ABA# [], CLS WIPS Account for AFS Payments, For Credit to: DT-WF SPE I, LLC- Real Estate, Type of payment (principal, interest, penalty, late charge, other).

Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly.
2.5.5 Late Charge. If any payments are not timely made (other than as a result of Lender's failure to debit the Borrower's Demand Deposit Account in accordance with Section 2.5.2 hereof), Borrower shall also pay to Lender a late charge equal to 5% of each payment past due for 10 or more days. This late charge shall not apply to payments due at maturity or by acceleration of the applicable Loans, unless such late payment is in an amount not greater than the highest periodic payment due hereunder.
2.5.6 Swaps are Independent. Any prepayment shall not affect Borrower's obligation to continue making payments under any Swap Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such prepayment, subject to the terms of such Swap Agreement.

The execution and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower and each other Person executing any Loan Document (other than Lender) do not conflict with, result in any breach of, nor constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, (a) the certificate of formation or operating agreement or limited liability company agreement of Borrower or such other Person (in the case of a limited liability company), (b) the articles of incorporation or bylaws of such other Person (in the case of a corporation), or (c) any indenture, instrument, agreement, or court order by which it is bound, or (d) any applicable law, rule or regulation, nor (e) does it result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon Borrower's properties other than that granted to Lender.

Except as otherwise set forth on Exhibit 4.6, there are no proceedings or investigations pending, or to the best of Borrower's knowledge, overtly threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over Borrower or, to Borrower's knowledge, any Tenant or any Lease Guarantor, or its respective properties, which
(a) assert the invalidity of the Loan Documents or any Lease, (b) seek to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, (c) seek any determination or ruling that, if determined adversely to Borrower, any Tenant or any Lease Guarantor would materially and adversely affect the Collateral, Borrower's, any Tenant's or any Lease Guarantor's ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, any Lease, the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any Lease, Lender's rights under the Loan Documents, or any of Borrower's, any Tenant's or any Lease Guarantor's financial condition or business, or (d) allege that Borrower, any Tenant or any Lease Guarantor is in violation of any statute, regulation, rule or ordinance of any governmental entity, including, without limitation, the United States of America, any state, city, town, municipality, county or of any other jurisdiction, or of any agency thereof, except in connection with complaints of Contract Debtors made in the normal course of any business of Borrower, any Tenant or any Lease Guarantor and not of a material nature.
4.7 Taxes. All required federal, state and local tax returns of Borrower have been accurately prepared and duly and timely filed (within the initial or extended time period allowed therefor) and all federal, state and local taxes required to be paid with respect to the periods covered by such returns have been paid. Borrower has not been delinquent in the payment of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge, which could adversely affect in any way the Collateral.
4.8 Status and Condition. As of the date hereof and immediately after giving effect to each Loan, the fair value of the assets of Borrower is greater than the fair value of the liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities if and to the extent required to be recorded as a liability on the financial statements of Borrower in accordance with GAAP) of the Borrower, Borrower is and will be solvent, is and will be able to pay its debts as they mature and does not and will not have an unreasonably small capital to engage in the business in which it is engaged and propose to engage. Borrower does not intend to incur, nor believe that it has incurred, debt beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. Borrower is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of Borrower or any of its assets. Borrower is not transferring any Collateral with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.
4.9 Disclosure. There is no fact known to Borrower which Borrower has not disclosed to Lender in writing with respect to the Collateral or the assets, liabilities, financial condition or activities of Borrower or its Affiliates which would or may be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect upon the Collateral or Borrower's ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. All information and documents prepared by Borrower and provided to Lender at any time are true and accurate at the time of delivery. To its knowledge, no information or documents, not prepared by Borrower but delivered by Borrower to Lender, were false at the time of delivery.

5.7.2 Available Liquidity, as of the last day of any Accounting Period, shall be not less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00).
5.7.3 At all times, the Net Worth of the DT Entities On A Consolidated Basis shall be equal to or greater than $325,000,000, plus 50% of positive net income earned after December 31, 2009.
5.7.4 At all times, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 3.00:1.00, to be measured on an annual basis.
The foregoing financial covenants shall be determined using the consolidated financial statements and financial information of DTCG required to be delivered under Section 5.4.1 hereof.
5.8 Hedge Covenant. Borrower shall have the option to hedge the floating interest expense of all or any portion of each Loan for the full term of each Loan by maintaining one or more interest rate swap transactions with Lender or a Lender Affiliate (or with another financial institution approved by the Lender in writing) in an aggregate notional amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of such Loan originally scheduled to be outstanding over such term when the hedge is executed and providing for a fixed rate acceptable to the Lender, with Borrower making fixed rate payments and receiving floating rate payments to offset changes in the variable interest expense of such Loan, all upon terms and subject to such conditions as shall be acceptable to the Lender (or if such transaction is with another financial institution, all upon terms and subject to such conditions as shall be approved by the Lender in writing). Any prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or any change in the terms of the Loan will not alter the notional amount of any such interest rate swap transactions or otherwise affect Borrower's obligation to continue making payments under any such interest rate swap transactions, which will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any such prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change, subject to the terms of such interest rate swap transactions.
5.9 Insurance.
5.9.1 Required Insurance. Borrower shall maintain with respect to each Property: (a) during construction of any Improvements on each Property, “all-risk” builders risk insurance which must include windstorm, hail damage, fire and vandalism (non-reporting Completed Value with Special Cause of Loss form), in an amount not less than the completed replacement value of the Improvements under construction, naming Lender as mortgagee and loss payee; (b) upon completion of construction, upon occupancy of any Improvements, and at all other times, insurance against loss or damage by fire and other casualties and hazards by insurance written on an “all risks” basis, including malicious mischief coverage, in an amount not less than the replacement cost thereof, including coverage for loss of rents or business interruption if applicable, naming Lender as loss payee and mortgagee; (c) if any Property is required to be insured pursuant to the National Flood Reform Act of 1994, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, flood insurance is required in the amount equal to the lesser of the loan amount or maximum available under the National Flood Insurance Program, but in no event should the amount of coverage be less than the value of the improved structure, naming Lender as mortgagee and loss payee. If, after closing, any Property (or any part thereof) is remapped and if the vertical Improvements are determined to be located in a special flood hazard area, Borrower must obtain and maintain a flood insurance policy. If, within forty-five (45) days of receipt of notification from Lender that any Property has been reclassified by FEMA as being located in a special flood hazard area, Borrower has not provided sufficient evidence of flood insurance, Lender is mandated under federal law to purchase flood insurance on behalf of Borrower, and Lender will add the associated costs to the principal balance of the applicable Note. If the land or any portion thereof is located in a special flood hazard area, this Agreement may be terminated by Lender at its sole option; (d) as applicable, insurance which complies with the workers' compensation and employers' liability laws of all states in which Borrower shall be required to maintain such insurance; and (e) commercial general liability insurance providing coverage in an amount of no less than a combined single limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, naming Lender as an additional insured; and (f) such other insurance as Lender may reasonably require from time to time.
5.9.2 Insurance Endorsement. All property insurance policies shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer in form satisfactory to Lender that any loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower and the further agreement (within both the property and liability policies) of the insurer waiving rights of subrogation against Lender, and rights of set-off, counterclaim or deductions against Borrower.
5.9.3 Type. All insurance policies shall be in form, provide coverages, be issued by companies and be in amounts satisfactory to Lender. At least 30 days prior to the expiration of each such policy, Borrower shall furnish Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that such policy has been renewed or replaced or is no longer required hereunder. All such policies shall provide that the policy will not be canceled or materially amended without at least 30 days prior written notice to Lender. In the event Borrower fails to provide, maintain, keep in force, and furnish to Lender the policies of insurance required by this paragraph, Lender may procure such insurance or single-interest insurance in such amounts, at such premium, for such risks and by such means as Lender chooses, at Borrower's expense; provided, however, Lender shall have no responsibility to obtain any insurance, but if Lender does obtain insurance, Lender shall have no responsibility to assure that the insurance obtained shall be adequate or provide any protection to Borrower.
5.9.4 Insurance Proceeds. After occurrence of any loss to all or any part of any Property, Borrower shall give prompt written notice thereof to Lender. In the event of such loss, all insurance proceeds, including unearned premiums, shall be payable to Lender, and Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance company to make payment of such proceeds directly to Lender and not to Lender and Borrower jointly. Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower to make proof of loss if not promptly made by Borrower, settle, adjust or compromise any claims for loss or damage under any policy or policies
of insurance and Borrower appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to receive and endorse any insurance proceeds to Lender, which appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable as long as any Obligations remain unsatisfied. Borrower shall pay the costs of collection, including attorneys' fees, of insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage or destruction. Borrower shall have no claim against the insurance proceeds, or be entitled to any portion thereof, and all rights to the insurance proceeds are hereby assigned to Lender as security for payment of the Obligations. In the event of any damage to or destruction of any Property, Lender shall have the option of applying or paying all or part of the insurance proceeds to (a) the Obligations in such order as Lender may determine, (b) restoration, replacement or repair of such Property in accordance with Lender's standard construction loan disbursement conditions and requirements, or (c) Borrower. Nothing herein shall be deemed to excuse Borrower from restoring, repairing and maintaining each Property as required herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that all of the following conditions are fully satisfied by Borrower, Lender shall disburse insurance proceeds for repair and restoration of a Property in accordance with Lender's standard construction loan disbursement conditions and requirements: (a) no Pre-Default Event or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (b) Borrower shall have delivered evidence satisfactory to Lender that such Property can be fully repaired and restored at least six (6) months prior to the maturity of the Obligations; (c) no Lease of such Property is cancelable or terminable by the Tenant or Borrower on account of the casualty or, if it is, the Tenant or Borrower (as applicable) has waived in writing its right to cancel; (d) the work is performed under a fixed price or guaranteed maximum price contract satisfactory to Lender in accordance with plans and specifications and a budget satisfactory to Lender in accordance with all legal requirements; (e) Borrower shall have deposited with Lender for disbursement in connection with the restoration the greater of: (i) the applicable deductible under the insurance policies covering the loss; or (ii) the amount by which the cost of restoration of such Property to substantially the same value, condition and character as existed prior to such damage is estimated by Lender to exceed the net insurance proceeds; (f) Borrower has paid as and when due all of Lender's costs and expenses incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement of insurance proceeds, including without limitation, inspection, monitoring, engineering and legal fees. If not paid on demand, at Lender's option, such costs may be deducted from the disbursements made by Lender or added to the sums secured by the Mortgage; and (g) such other terms and conditions as Lender may reasonably require.
5.10 Maintain Properties. Borrower shall maintain, preserve and keep or cause each applicable Tenant to maintain preserve and keep its property, including, without limitation, each Property in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), making all replacements, additions and improvements thereto necessary for the proper conduct of its business, unless prohibited by the Loan Documents.
5.11 Litigation Matters. Borrower shall notify Lender in writing, promptly upon its learning thereof, of any litigation, arbitration or administrative proceeding which such Borrower reasonably believes may have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower, any Tenant, any Lease Guarantor or DTCG taken as a whole, or the ability of the Borrower to perform the Loan Documents or which in any way involves Lender's security interest in the Collateral or other rights under the Loan Documents.
5.12 Intentionally Omitted.
5.13 Payment of Obligations. The Borrower shall pay and perform, as and when due, all of its obligations, including, without limitation, all of its obligations to the Lender.
5.14 Duty to Notify Lender. The Borrower shall give prompt notice in accordance with the requirements of this Section 5.14 to Lender as set forth in Section 9.3 below:
5.14.1 upon Borrower becoming aware of, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after, the occurrence of (a) any Pre-Default Event or Event of Default under any Loan Document or (b) any breach, event of default or default, event of termination, acceleration or the occurrence of any event requiring a mandatory prepayment or mandatory offer to purchase (or similar event) under any Swap Agreement or any other material agreement of Borrower, any Lease Guarantor or any Subsidiary of DTAG or DTAC, including, without limitation, under those credit facility agreements set forth on Exhibit 5.30, which shall include a copy of such notice given from the holder of such Indebtedness (or agent on behalf of one or more holders).
5.14.2 upon Borrower becoming aware of any default related to any Collateral, any Material Adverse Effect and any event or change in circumstances which should reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.14.3 upon the entry of a judgment or decree against Borrower, any Parent Company, DT Warehouse, DT Warehouse II, DT Warehouse III, DT Warehouse IV or any of their respective Subsidiaries in an amount in excess of $500,000.00.
5.14.4 all notices from any Tenant or any Lease Guarantor to Borrower.
Each notice pursuant to Section 5.14.1, 5.14.2 or 5.14.3 hereof shall be accompanied by a statement of an officer of the Borrower setting forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating what action the Borrower, the applicable Lease Guarantor or the applicable Subsidiary of DTAG or DTAC has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto.
5.15 Payment of Taxes. Borrower shall pay before delinquent all of its Indebtedness and taxes, except and to the extent only that such taxes are being Properly Contested.
5.16 Management. Borrower self-manages each Property and no management agreement is currently in effect with respect to any Property. Borrower shall not enter into any agreement for the management of any Property or any portion thereof without Lender's prior written consent.
5.17 Intentionally Omitted.
5.18 Leases, Subleases and Easements. Borrower shall maintain, enforce and cause to be performed all of the terms and conditions under any Lease or easement which may constitute a portion of the Property.
5.19 Impositions; Escrow Deposit. Borrower will pay or cause to be paid all taxes, levies, assessments and other fees and charges imposed upon or which may become a lien upon any Property under any law or ordinance (all of the foregoing collectively “Impositions”) before they become delinquent and in any event in the same calendar year in which they first become due. Upon request of Lender after the occurrence of a Pre-Default Event or Event of Default, Borrower shall add to each periodic payment required under the Notes the amount estimated by Lender to be sufficient to enable Lender to pay, as they come due, all Impositions and insurance premiums which Borrower is required to pay hereunder. Payments requested under this provision shall be supplemented or adjusted as required by Lender from time to time. Such funds may be commingled with the general funds of Lender and shall not earn interest. Upon the occurrence of a Pre-Default Event, Lender may apply such funds to pay any of the Obligations.
5.20 Use of Property. Borrower shall use and operate, and require its lessees or licensees to use and operate, each Property in compliance with all applicable laws (including, for example, the Americans with Disabilities Act) and ordinances, covenants, and restrictions, and with all applicable
requirements of any Lease now or hereafter affecting each Property. Borrower shall not permit any unlawful use of any Property or any use that may give rise to a claim of forfeiture of any of such Property. Borrower shall not allow changes in the stated use of any Property from that disclosed to Lender at the time of execution hereof. Borrower shall not initiate or acquiesce to a zoning change of any Property without prior notice to, and written consent of, Lender.
5.21 Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations. Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Borrower will not remove, demolish or structurally alter, or permit any Tenant to remove, demolish or structurally alter, any of the buildings or other Improvements on any Property (“Alterations”). Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any material loss, damage or adverse condition affecting any Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the foregoing, Borrower may make or permit Tenant to make Alterations without the consent of Lender in the event that such Alterations (a) may be required by laws, ordinances or regulations, (b) would not have a Material Adverse Effect on a Property, or (c) are tenant improvement work which are commercially reasonable to facilitate a permitted re-letting of any portion of a Property to an unrelated third-party tenant and do not materially and adversely affect the value of such Property; provided, however, that Borrower shall provide prior written notice of Alterations to a Property if the costs of such Alterations are expected to exceed the lesser of $300,000 or twenty (20%) percent of the value of the applicable Property based upon a then current Appraisal or if the Alterations will or could in any event materially and adversely affect the value of such Property.
5.22 Eminent Domain. Should any Property or any interest therein be taken or damaged by reason of any public use or improvement or condemnation proceeding (“Condemnation”), or should Borrower receive any notice or other information regarding such Condemnation, Borrower shall give prompt written notice thereof to Lender. Lender shall be entitled to all compensation, awards and other payments or relief granted in connection with such Condemnation and, at its option, may commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceedings relating thereto. Lender shall be entitled to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such taking or damage. All compensation, awards, and damages awarded to Borrower related to any Condemnation (the “Proceeds”) are hereby assigned to Lender and Borrower agrees to execute such further assignments of the Proceeds as Lender may require. Lender shall have the option of applying or paying the Proceeds in the same manner as insurance proceeds as provided herein. Borrower appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to receive and endorse the Proceeds to Lender, which appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable as long as any Obligations remain unsatisfied.
5.23 Environmental Condition of Property and Indemnity. Except as set forth in Exhibit 4.20, Borrower represents to Lender that no portion of any Property is a protected wetland. Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately upon receipt of any citations, warnings, orders, notices, consent agreements, process or claims alleging or relating to violations of any Environmental Laws or to the environmental condition of each Property and shall conduct and complete all investigations and all cleanup actions necessary to comply with the Environmental Laws and to remove, in accordance with Environmental Laws, any Hazardous Material in excess of De Minimis Amounts from each Property. Borrower shall PROTECT, indemnify, defend, AND HOLD Lender and any participants, successors or assigns to Lender's interest in the LoanS, and any other party who acquires any portion of the LoanS at a foreclosure sale or otherwise through the exercise of Lender's rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, and all directors, officers, employees and agents of all of the aforementioned indemnified parties, HARMLESS from and against any and all ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL damages, penalties, fines, claims, suits, liabilities, costs, judgments and expenses, including REASONABLE attorneys', consultants' or experts' fees of every kind and nature incurred, suffered by or asserted against Lender as a direct or indirect result of OR which arise out of or relate in any
way TO: (a) representations made by Borrower in this Section being or becoming untrue in any material respect; (b) Borrower's violation of or failure to meet the requirements of any Environmental Laws; or (c) Hazardous Materials which, while any Property is subject to the Mortgage, exist on any Property in excess of de minimis amounts or otherwise in violation of any environmental law. Lender shall have the right to arrange for or conduct environmental inspections of each Property from time to time (including the taking of soil, water, air or material samples). UNLESS required by laws or regulations applicable to Lender or unless a pre-default event or event of default has occurred and be continuing, the borrower shall be responsible for the costs of such environmental inspections on each property only one (1) time per year. However, Borrower's obligations under this section shall not apply to any grossly negligent or intentional act of Lender which takes place after foreclosure or satisfaction of the Mortgage. These indemnification obligations are in addition to general indemnification provisions set forth hereafter. Borrower's Obligations under this section shall continue, survive and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the repayment of the Obligations, a foreclosure of or exercise of power of sale under this instrument, a delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a cancellation or termination of record of this instrument and the transfer of any Property.
5.24 Appraisals. Prior to any Loan being made hereunder, Borrower agrees that Lender will obtain an Appraisal of the Property that will secure such Loan. Borrower agrees that Lender also may obtain an Appraisal of any Property when required by the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or any other regulatory agency, or at such other times as Lender may reasonably require. All Appraisals shall be performed by an independent third party appraiser selected by Lender. The cost of such Appraisals shall be borne by Borrower; provided, however, that so long as no Pre-Default Event or Event of Default has occurred and be continuing and/or no law or regulation applicable to Lender requires more frequent Appraisals, Borrower shall not be responsible for the cost of more than one (1) Appraisal with respect to each Property every two (2) years after the date of the applicable Loan made hereunder. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall execute an engagement letter addressed to the appraiser selected by Lender. Borrower's failure or refusal to sign such an engagement letter, however, shall not impair Lender's right to obtain such an Appraisal. Borrower agrees to pay the cost of such Appraisal within the time required in the invoice for such Appraisal or, if unspecified, within thirty (30) days after receiving an invoice for such Appraisal.
5.25 Inspections. Lender, or its representatives or agents, are authorized to enter during normal business hours and at their own risk upon any part of any Property for the purpose of inspecting any Property and for the purpose of performing any of the acts it is authorized to perform under the terms of the Mortgage; provided, however, that so long as no Pre-Default Event or Event of Default has occurred and be continuing, the Lender shall provide at least twenty-four (24) hours notice of such inspection to Borrower. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that nothing set forth herein shall limit Lender's access, inspection and/or audit rights, whether as the Agent and/or as a Lender, under the 2011 Inventory Loan Facility.
5.26 Liens and Subrogation. Borrower shall pay and promptly discharge all liens, claims and encumbrances upon any Property, except Permitted Liens. Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith the validity of any such lien, claim or encumbrance, provided: (a) such contest suspends the collection thereof or there is no danger of any Property being sold or forfeited while such contest is pending; (b) Borrower first deposits with Lender a bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in such amounts as Lender shall reasonably require; and (c) Borrower thereafter diligently proceeds to cause such lien, claim or encumbrance to be removed and discharged. Lender shall be subrogated to any liens, claims and encumbrances against Borrower or any Property that are paid or discharged through payment by Lender or with loan proceeds, notwithstanding the record cancellation or satisfaction thereof.
5.27 Further Assurances. Borrower shall take such further action and provide to Lender such further assurances as may be reasonably requested to ensure compliance with the intent of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.
5.28 Deposit Accounts. Borrower shall maintain a Demand Deposit Account with Lender.
5.29 Certificate of an Officer of the Borrower. At the time that the Borrower delivers financial statements to the Lender in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof, the Borrower shall forward to the Lender a certificate of an officer of the Borrower, which demonstrates that the Borrower is in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 5.7 and Section 6.3.
5.30 Tax Information.
5.30.1 Lender agrees to complete and to deliver to the Borrower on or before the Effective Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement) a duly completed and executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form establishing that the Lender is a United States person that is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax.
5.30.2 Lender shall deliver to the Borrower such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law, to the extent applicable, (x) to demonstrate that payments to such Lender under this Agreement and the Loans are exempt from any United States withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA or (y) to allow the Borrower to determine the amount to deduct or withhold under FATCA from a payment hereunder. Lender further agrees to complete and to deliver to the Borrower from time to time, so long as it is eligible to do so, any successor or additional form required by the Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by the Borrower in order to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax.

6.1 No Additional Indebtedness. Shall not create or permit to exist (a) any Indebtedness which will cause Borrower to cease to be a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity, or (b) any Indebtedness that is prohibited by the Notes Indenture or that, if and when incurred, would otherwise result in a default under the Notes Indenture.

(a) Borrower shall not make any Restricted Payments after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default or, if after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, an Event of Default would exist. (b) No Lease Guarantor shall make any Restricted Payments following an Event of Default or, if after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, an Event of Default would exist, including but not limited to the payments and dividends described in Section 6.3. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 6.4 to the contrary and so long as no Event of Default for nonpayment under Section 7.1.1 or Section 7.1.2 exists and is continuing, any Lease Guarantor may pay, as applicable, to its stockholders the S-Corp Permissible Dividend Amount.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may at its option take any or all of the following actions with respect to Borrower, and with respect to the Collateral for the Loans:
7.2.1 Acceleration. Lender may declare any or all Obligations (other than Obligations under any Swap Agreements, between Borrower and Lender or any Lender Affiliate, which shall be due in accordance with and governed by the provisions of said Swap Agreements) to be immediately due and payable (if not earlier demanded), terminate its obligation to make Loans and other extensions of credit to Borrower, bring suit against Borrower to collect the Obligations, exercise any remedy available to Lender hereunder or at law and take any action or exercise any remedy provided herein or in any other Loan Document or under applicable law. No remedy shall be exclusive of other remedies or impair the right of Lender to exercise any other remedies.
7.2.2 UCC Rights. Without waiving any of its other rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Lender shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction) and such other rights and remedies as may be available hereunder, under other applicable law or pursuant to contract. Borrower agrees that any notice by Lender of the sale or disposition of the Collateral or any other intended action hereunder, whether required by the UCC or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to Borrower if the notice is mailed to Borrower by regular or certified mail, postage prepaid, at least five (5) days before the action to be taken. Borrower shall be liable for any deficiencies in the event the proceeds of the disposition of the Collateral do not satisfy the Obligations in full.
7.2.3 Collection. Lender may demand, collect and sue for proceeds of any Collateral (either in the Borrower's name or Lender's name at the latter's option), with the right to enforce, compromise, settle or discharge any such amounts.
7.2.4 Foreclosure. (a) Lender may exercise any or all of Lender's remedies under the Mortgage or other Loan Documents including, without limitation, acceleration of the maturity of all payments and Obligations, other than Obligations under any Swap Agreements with Lender or any of its Lender Affiliates, which shall be due in accordance with and governed by the provisions of said Swap Agreements; (b) Lender may take immediate possession of each, any and all Property or any part thereof (which Borrower agrees to surrender to Lender) and manage, control or lease the same to such Persons and at such rental as it may deem proper and collect and apply Rents (as defined in the Mortgage) to the payment of: (i) the Obligations, together with all costs and attorneys' fees; (ii) all Impositions (as defined in the Mortgage) and any other levies, assessments or liens which may be prior in lien or payment to the Obligations, and premiums for insurance, with interest on all such items; and (iii) the cost of all alterations, repairs, replacements and expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of each, any and all Property and the management and operation thereof; all in such order or priority as Lender in its sole discretion may determine. The taking of possession shall not prevent concurrent or later proceedings for the foreclosure sale of each, any and all Property; (c) Lender may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver for all purposes including, without limitation, to manage and operate each, any and all Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents therefrom as hereinabove provided. In the event of such application, Borrower consents to the appointment of a receiver, and agrees that a receiver may be appointed without notice to Borrower, without regard to whether Borrower has committed waste or permitted deterioration of each, any or all of Borrower's Property, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations, and without regard to the solvency of Borrower or any other person, firm or corporation who or which may be liable for the payment of the Obligations; (d) Lender may exercise all the remedies of a mortgagee as provided by law and in equity including, without limitation, foreclosure upon the Mortgage and sale of each, any and all Property, or any part of the Property, at public sale conducted according to applicable law (referred to as “Sale”) and conduct additional Sales as may be required until all of the Property is sold or the Obligations are satisfied; (e) With respect to any portion of each, any and all Property governed by the UCC, Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party thereunder. Lender may elect to foreclose upon any Property that is Fixtures under law applicable to foreclosure of interests in real estate or law applicable to personal property; (f) Lender may bid at Sale and may accept, as successful bidder, credit of the bid amount against the Obligations as payment of any portion of the purchase price; and (g) Lender shall apply the proceeds of Sale, first to any fees or attorney fees permitted Lender by law in connection with Sale, second to expenses of foreclosure, publication, and sale permitted Lender by law in connection with Sale, third to the Obligations, and any remaining proceeds as required by law.
7.3 Receiver. In addition to any other remedy available to it, Lender shall have the absolute right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to seek and obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and operate and/or dispose of the business and assets of Borrower and any costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such receivership shall bear interest at the Default Rate, at Lender's option, and shall be secured by all Collateral.
7.4 Deposits; Insurance. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Lender to collect and apply against Borrower's Obligations when due any cash or Deposit Accounts in its possession, and any refund of insurance premiums or any insurance proceeds payable on account of the loss or damage to any of the Collateral and irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney‑in‑fact to endorse any check or draft or take other action necessary to obtain such funds.
7.5 Injunctive Relief. Borrower recognizes that if there is an Event of Default then, depending on the nature of the Event of Default, it may be that no remedy at law will provide complete or adequate relief to Lender, and Lender shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. The injunctive relief shall not be a waiver of
Lender's rights to other relief and remedies.
7.6 Lender's Default. In the event of any default of the Loan Documents by Lender or any claim by Borrower related to the Loan Documents, the Borrower's sole and exclusive remedy against Lender shall be a cause of action sounding in contract with damages limited to actual and direct damages incurred. Lender shall not in any event be liable to Borrower or any Lease Guarantor for ordinary negligence, delay in performance or any consequential, special, punitive, incidental or indirect damages, including without limitation, loss of profit or goodwill. Lender shall in no event be liable to Borrower or any Lease Guarantor for any loss or damage directly or indirectly resulting from the furnishing of services or reports under this Agreement. With respect to any goods and services provided by Lender, LENDER MAKES NO warranties, whether expressed or implied, including, without limitation, implied WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, to Borrower or any LEASE GUARANTOR. Borrower shall not have any cause of action against Lender for a default of the Loan Documents unless the Borrower first notifies Lender of the default and allows Lender a reasonable time of at least thirty (30) Business Days to cure the default and Lender fails to cure the default.
8. Indemnification. In addition to all other Obligations, the Borrower shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its Lender Affiliates and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants, agents and any other Person acting on behalf of Lender (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, costs, good faith settlements, expenses, taxes, penalties, fines, reasonable attorneys' fees or other liabilities, including but not limited to costs of investigation, litigation fees and expenses, and costs in successfully asserting the right to indemnification hereunder (each a “Loss” and collectively, “Losses”) incurred by such Indemnified Party at any time and pertaining to (a) the due diligence effort (including, without limitation, public record search, recording fees, examinations and investigations of the properties of the Borrower and the Borrower's operations), negotiation, preparation, execution and/or performance of any of the Loan Documents or of any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby and the perfection of Lender's Liens in the Collateral, maintenance of the Loan by Lender, and any and all amendments, modifications and supplements of any of the Loan Documents or restructuring of the Obligations, (b) any suit, investigation, action or proceeding by any Person (other than Borrower), whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any Person under any statute, regulation or common law principle, arising from or in connection with Lender's furnishing of funds to Borrower under this Agreement (other than for any Loss arising from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct), (c) Lender's preservation, administration and enforcement of its rights under the Loan Documents and applicable law, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection therewith, whether suit be brought or not and whether incurred at trial or on appeal, and all costs of foreclosure, repossession, storage, disposition, protection and collection of Collateral, (d) (v) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against Lender or any Lender Affiliate and all reasonable costs and expense (including attorneys' fees and disbursements) actually incurred in connection with defense thereof by Lender or such Lender Affiliate, as a result of the funding of Loans or the extension of credit, the acceptance of payments due under the Loan Documents or any Swap Agreement or acceptance of Collateral, (vi) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, other than for such loss, damage, liability, obligation, penalty, fee, cost or expense arising from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, (vii) facts which are, or allegations which if true would be, a breach of any representation, warranty, obligation, agreement or covenant of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents, (viii) an Event of Default or a Pre-Default Event, and/or (ix) activities, operations or conduct of Borrower or any Person included within the definition of DTCG. If Borrower should fail to pay any tax or other amount required by this Agreement to be paid or which may be reasonably necessary to protect or preserve any Collateral or Borrower's or Lender's interests
therein, Lender may make such payment and the amount thereof shall be payable on demand, shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand until paid and shall be deemed to be Obligations entitled to the benefit and security of the Loan Documents. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay and save each Indemnified Party harmless against any liability for payment of any state documentary stamp taxes, intangible taxes or similar taxes (including interest or penalties, if any) which may now or hereafter be determined to be payable in respect to the execution, delivery or recording of any Loan Document or the making of any Loan, whether originally thought to be due or not, and regardless of any mistake of fact or law on the part of any Indemnified Party or Borrower with respect to the applicability of such tax. The Borrower's obligation for indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnified Parties shall be part of the Obligations, secured by the Collateral, and shall survive termination of this Agreement.

9.12 Integration; Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

ANY JUDICIAL, MEDIATION OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING OR ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM (A “DISPUTE”) THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF OR BE IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM OR THE OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCED HEREBY OR RELATED HERETO, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY HAVE A REMEDY OF, OR BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR, (A) INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR (B) PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR CLAIM TO PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES THEY MAY HAVE OR WHICH MAY ARISE IN THE FUTURE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION, MEDIATION, JUDICIALLY OR OTHERWISE.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO, INCLUDING LENDER BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT HERETO. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO EACH PARTY TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES THAT THE TERMS HEREOF SHALL SUPERSEDE AND REPLACE ANY PRIOR AGREEMENT RELATED TO ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES CONTAINED IN ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT HERETOFORE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO OR BEING REPLACED, SUPPLEMENTED, EXTENDED OR MODIFIED BY, THIS AGREEMENT.
9.15 Acknowledgements. Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party; (b) Lender has no fiduciary relationship to Borrower, and the relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor; and (c) no joint venture exists among or between Lender and Borrower.
9.16 Disgorgement of Payments. If Lender is required in any bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceeding by or against Borrower or any Lease Guarantor or any of its respective property or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of Borrower or any Lease Guarantor any amount (a “Recovery”), because such Recovery was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be fraudulent or preferential transfer, whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement or any right of set-off or otherwise, then the Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and, for purposes of this Agreement, deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto.
9.17 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.
9.18 Statements of Account. Each report, billing statement, payment transcript, or other statement which is prepared by Lender shall, except for manifest errors, be deemed final, binding and
conclusive upon the Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein, and shall constitute an account stated between the Borrower and the Lender, unless thereafter waived in writing by the Lender or unless, within thirty (30) days after the Borrower's receipt of such document, the Borrower delivers to Lender notice of a written objection thereto specifying the claimed error. In the event of such an error, only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by the Borrower and the Lender's only liability to the Borrower shall be to issue a corrected document.
9.19 Patriot Act. Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. In addition, if Lender is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) USA Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for Borrower and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the senior management and key principals of Borrower, and Borrower hereby agrees to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agree that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall be at the expense of and for the account of Borrower.
9.20 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same document. All such counterparts shall be deemed an original, shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.
9.21 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision or provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be in any way impaired.
9.22 Offset. Lender has the right to offset, apply, or recoup any obligation of the Borrower to Lender, arising under the Loan Documents or otherwise, against any obligations or payments such Lender owes to Borrower, arising under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or against any property of Borrower held by Lender. Borrower waives any right to offset, apply, or recoup against any obligation it owes to Lender. Lender is not obligated to pursue any of the Collateral or any of Lender's rights at any time as a condition to payment and performance by Borrower.
9.23 Debtor-Creditor Relationship; Independent Contractor. The relationship between the Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. Lender does not have (nor shall it be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to Borrower arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. Borrower is an independent contractor in all matters relating to this Agreement and the Collateral and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein. Borrower has no authority to act on behalf of or bind Lender.
9.24 Waiver by Borrower. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Borrower
waives (a) notice and consummation of presentment, demand, protest, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to taking possession or control of, or the Lender's replevy, attachment or levy upon, the Collateral; (c) any bond or security in a judicial proceeding as a condition to the Lender exercising any of the Lender's remedies; and (d) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws. The failure or delay of Borrower to strictly enforce the terms of this Agreement shall not be a waiver of Borrower's right to do so.
9.25 Waiver by Lender. Any failure by Lender or any Person acting on behalf of Lender, at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by the Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender or such Person thereafter to demand strict performance therewith. Any suspension or waiver by Lender of an Event of Default by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Borrower contained in the Loan Documents and no Event of Default by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by the Lender or any other Person acting on Lender's behalf unless such suspension or waiver is by an instrument in writing signed by the Lender, and identifies the matter waived or suspended. Any consent or approval by the Lender pursuant to this Agreement is not a waiver by the Lender of, or an admission by the Lender of the truth of, Borrower's representations and warranties in this Agreement.

The listing of specific rights or property shall not be interpreted as a limitation of general terms.

Neither the failure to designate an address nor any inaccuracy in the address designated shall affect the validity or priority of the lien of this Mortgage on the Subject Property as described on Exhibit A. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of Exhibit A and said address, Exhibit A shall control.
3. Obligations Secured.
3.1 Obligations Secured. Mortgagor makes this grant and assignment for the purpose of securing the following obligations (each, a “Secured Obligation” and collectively, the “Secured Obligations”):
(a) payment to Mortgagee of all sums at any time owing and performance of all other Obligations arising under or in connection with that certain promissory note (“Note”) dated as of ____________________, in the maximum principal amount of _____________________________________ Dollars ($________________), with interest as provided therein, executed by Mortgagor and payable to Mortgagee or its order, together with the payment and performance of any other Obligations of Mortgagor under the Loan Documents, whether or not specifically referenced therein; and
(b) payment and performance of all obligations of Mortgagor under this Mortgage, together with all advances, payments or other expenditures made by Mortgagee as or for the payment or performance of any such obligations of Mortgagor; and
(c) payment and performance of all obligations, if any, and the contracts under which they arise, which any rider attached to and recorded with this Mortgage recites are secured hereby; and
(d) payment to Mortgagee of all liability, whether liquidated or unliquidated, defined, contingent, conditional or of any other nature whatsoever, and performance of all other obligations, arising under any Swap Agreement at any time entered into with Mortgagee in connection with any Secured Obligation; and
(e) subject to the Section hereof entitled Future Advances, payment and performance of all future advances and other obligations that the then record owner of the Subject Property may agree to pay and/or perform (whether as principal, surety or guarantor) for the benefit of Mortgagee, when any such advance or
other obligation is evidenced by a writing which recites that it is secured by this Mortgage; and
(f) all modifications, extensions and renewals of any of the Secured Obligations (including without limitation, (i) modifications, extensions or renewals at a different rate of interest, or (ii) deferrals or accelerations of the required principal payment dates or interest payment dates or both, in whole or in part), however evidenced, whether or not any such modification, extension or renewal is evidenced by a new or additional promissory note or notes.
3.2 Incorporation. All terms of the Secured Obligations are incorporated herein by this reference. All persons who may have or acquire an interest in the Subject Property are hereby deemed to have notice of the terms of the Secured Obligations and to have notice, if provided therein, that: (a) the Note or any other Secured Obligation may permit borrowing, repayment and reborrowing; and (b) the rate of interest on one or more of the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time.
3.3 Future Advances. Mortgagor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Obligations may include, and that this Mortgage is given to secure, advances that may be made by Mortgagee and/or Obligations to Mortgagee that may be incurred after the execution of this Mortgage (collectively, “Future Advances”), and that this Mortgage shall secure all Future Advances of every kind and whenever occurring.
4. Assignment of Rents.
4.1 Assignment. For the purposes and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Mortgagor irrevocably assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor's right, title and interest in, to and under all leases, licenses, rental agreements and other agreements of any kind relating to the use or occupancy of any of the Subject Property, whether existing as of the date hereof or at any time hereafter entered into, together with all guarantees of and security for any tenant's or lessee's performance thereunder, and all amendments, extensions, renewals and modifications thereto (each, a “Lease” and collectively, the “Leases”), together with any and all other rents, issues and profits of the Subject Property (collectively, “Rents”). This assignment shall not impose upon Mortgagee any duty to produce Rents from the Subject Property, nor cause Mortgagee to be: (a) a “mortgagee in possession” for any purpose; (b) responsible for performing any of the obligations of the lessor or landlord under any Lease; or (c) responsible for any waste committed by any Person at any time in possession of the Subject Property or any part thereof, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Subject Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Subject Property. This is an absolute assignment, not an assignment for security only, and Mortgagee's right to Rents is not contingent upon and may be exercised without taking possession of the Subject Property. Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver to Mortgagee, within five (5) days of Mortgagee's written request, such additional documents as Mortgagee may reasonably request to further evidence the assignment to Mortgagee of any and all Leases and Rents. Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's option and without notice, may notify any lessee or tenant of this assignment of the Leases and Rents.
4.2 Protection of Security. To protect the security of this assignment, Mortgagor has agreed under the Loan Agreement (the terms of which are governed by the laws of the Jurisdiction) and hereby acknowledges its agreement (subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 9.4 thereof) as to the following:
(a) At Mortgagor's sole cost and expense: (i) to perform each obligation to be performed by the lessor or landlord under each Lease and to enforce or secure the performance of each obligation to be performed by the lessee or tenant under each Lease; (ii) not to modify any Lease in any material respect, nor accept surrender under or terminate the term of any Lease; (iii) not to anticipate the Rents under any Lease;
and (iv) not to waive or release any lessee or tenant of or from any Lease obligations. Mortgagor assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor's right and power to modify the terms of any Lease, to accept a surrender under or terminate the term of or anticipate the Rents under any Lease, and to waive or release any lessee or tenant of or from any Lease obligations, and any attempt on the part of Mortgagor to exercise any such rights or powers without Mortgagee's prior written consent shall be a breach of the terms hereof.
(b) At Mortgagor's sole cost and expense, to defend any action in any manner connected with any Lease or the obligations thereunder, and to pay all costs of Mortgagee, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in any such action in which Mortgagee may appear.
(c) That, should Mortgagor fail to do any act required to be done by Mortgagor under a Lease, then Mortgagee, but without obligation to do so and without notice to Mortgagor and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation hereunder, may make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee reasonably deems necessary to protect the security hereof, and, in exercising such powers, Mortgagee may employ attorneys and other agents, and Mortgagor shall pay necessary costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Mortgagee, or its agents, in the exercise of the powers granted herein. Mortgagor shall give prompt notice to Mortgagee of any default by any lessee or tenant under any Lease, and of any notice of default on the part of Mortgagor under any Lease received from a lessee or tenant thereunder, together with an accurate and complete copy thereof.
(d) To pay to Mortgagee immediately upon demand all sums expended under the authority hereof, including reasonable attorneys' fees, together with interest thereon at the highest rate per annum payable under any Secured Obligation, and the same, at Mortgagee's option, may be added to any Secured Obligation and shall be secured hereby.
4.3 License. Mortgagee confers upon Mortgagor a license (“License”) to collect and retain the Rents as, but not before, they come due and payable, until the occurrence of any Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the License shall be automatically revoked, and Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee's option and without notice, either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court: (a) enter, take possession of, manage and operate the Subject Property or any part thereof; (b) make, cancel, enforce or modify any Lease; (c) obtain and evict tenants, fix or modify Rents, and do any acts which Mortgagee deems proper to protect the security hereof; and (d) either with or without taking possession of the Subject Property, in its own name, sue for or otherwise collect and receive all Rents, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage. The entering and taking possession of the Subject Property, the collection of Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any Event of Default, nor waive, modify or affect any notice of default hereunder, nor invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice. The License shall not grant to Mortgagee the right to possession, except as provided in this Mortgage.
5. Security Interest. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement under the UCC and shall be deemed to constitute a Fixture financing statement. Mortgagor hereby grants and assigns to Mortgagee a security interest, to secure payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations, in any personal property included in the Subject Property. On request of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will execute one or more financing statements in form satisfactory to Mortgagee and will pay all costs and expenses of filing the same in all public filing offices, where filing is deemed desirable by Mortgagee. Mortgagee is authorized to file financing statements relating to the Subject Property without Mortgagor's signature where permitted by law. Mortgagor appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact to execute such documents necessary to perfect Mortgagee's security interest on Mortgagor's behalf. The appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable as long as any Secured Obligations remain outstanding.
6. Rights and Duties of the Parties.

Mortgagor warrants that, except as disclosed to Mortgagee prior to the date hereof in a writing which refers to this warranty, Mortgagor lawfully possesses and holds fee simple title to, or if permitted by Mortgagee in writing, a leasehold interest in, the Subject Property without limitation on the right to encumber, as herein provided, and that this Mortgage is a valid lien on the Subject Property and all of Mortgagor's interest therein.

Each Third Party Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee that: (i) this Mortgage is executed at an Obligor's request; (ii) this Mortgage complies with all agreements between each Third Party Mortgagor and any Obligor regarding such Third Party Mortgagor's execution hereof; (iii) Mortgagee has made no representation to any Third Party Mortgagor as to the creditworthiness of any Obligor; and (iv) each Third Party Mortgagor has established adequate means of obtaining from each Obligor on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to such Obligor's financial condition. Each Third Party Mortgagor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events or circumstances which might in any way affect such Third Party Mortgagor's risks hereunder. Each Third Party Mortgagor further agrees that Mortgagee shall have no obligation to disclose to any Third
Party Mortgagor any information or material about any Obligor which is acquired by Mortgagee in any manner. The liability of each Third Party Mortgagor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the rights of Mortgagee shall continue if and to the extent that for any reason any amount at any time paid on account of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Mortgagee, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The determination as to whether any amount so paid must be rescinded or restored shall be made by Mortgagee in its sole discretion; provided however, that if Mortgagee chooses to contest any such matter at the request of any Third Party Mortgagor, each Third Party Mortgagor agrees to indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from and against all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expended or incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith, including without limitation, in any litigation with respect thereto.
(b) Waivers.

(ii) Each Third Party Mortgagor waives any defense to its obligations hereunder based upon or arising by reason of: (A) any disability or other defense of any Obligor or any other Person; (B) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of any Secured Obligation; (C) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner, agent or any other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any Obligor which is a corporation, partnership or other type of entity, or any defect in the formation of any such Obligor; (D) the application by any Obligor of the proceeds of any Secured Obligation for purposes other than the purposes represented by any Obligor to, or intended or understood by, Mortgagee or any Third Party Mortgagor; (E) any act or omission by Mortgagee which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of any Obligor or any portion of any Secured Obligation by operation of law or otherwise, or which in any way impairs or suspends any rights or remedies of Mortgagee against any Obligor; (F) any impairment of the value of any interest in any security for the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, including without limitation, the failure to obtain or maintain perfection or recordation of any interest in any such security, the release of any such security without substitution, and/or the failure to preserve the value of, or to comply with applicable law in disposing of, any such security; (G) any modification of any Secured Obligation, in any form whatsoever, including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of, or other change in the terms of, any Secured Obligation or any portion thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; or (H) any requirement that Mortgagee give any notice of acceptance of this Mortgage. Until all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, no Third Party Mortgagor shall have any right of subrogation, and each Third Party Mortgagor waives any right to enforce any remedy which Mortgagee now has or may hereafter have against any Obligor or any other Person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee. Each Third Party Mortgagor further waives all rights and defenses it may have arising out of: (1) any election of remedies by Mortgagee, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for any portion of the Secured Obligations, destroys such Third Party Mortgagor's rights of subrogation or such Third Party Mortgagor's rights to proceed against any Obligor for reimbursement; or (2) any loss of rights any Third Party Mortgagor may suffer by
reason of any rights, powers or remedies of any Obligor in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging any Obligor's obligations.
(iii) If any of said waivers is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective to the extent permitted by applicable law or public policy.

All persons who may have or acquire an interest in the Subject Property are hereby deemed to have notice of the terms of the Secured Obligations and to have notice, if provided therein, that: (a) the Note or any other Secured Obligation may permit borrowing, repayment and reborrowing; and (b) the rate of interest on one or more of the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time.
3.3 Future Advances. All parties acknowledge and agree that there may be future advances under the Note or any other Secured Obligation, and that absent an Event of Default under the Secured Obligations, such advances are obligatory advances, subject to the terms of the Note or such Secured Obligation, and that the repayment of such future advances shall be secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust and have the same priority as the funds initially advanced under the Note or any other such Secured Obligation.
4. Assignment of Rents.
4.1 Assignment. For the purposes and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Trustor irrevocably assigns to Beneficiary all of Trustor's right, title and interest in, to and under all leases, licenses, rental agreements and other agreements of any kind relating to the use or occupancy of any of the Subject Property, whether existing as of the date hereof or at any time hereafter entered into, together with all guarantees of and security for any tenant's or lessee's performance thereunder, and all amendments, extensions, renewals and modifications thereto (each, a “Lease” and collectively, the “Leases”), together with any and all other rents, issues and profits of the Subject Property (collectively, “Rents”). This assignment shall not impose upon Beneficiary any duty to produce Rents from the Subject Property, nor cause Beneficiary to be: (a) a “mortgagee in possession” for any purpose; (b) responsible for performing any of the obligations of the lessor or landlord under any Lease; or (c) responsible for any waste committed by any Person at any time in possession of the Subject Property or any part thereof, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Subject Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Subject Property. This is an absolute assignment, not an assignment for security only, and Beneficiary's right to Rents is not contingent upon and may be exercised without taking possession of the Subject Property. Trustor agrees to execute and deliver to Beneficiary, within five (5) days of Beneficiary's written request, such additional documents as Beneficiary or Trustee may reasonably request to further evidence the assignment to Beneficiary of any and all Leases and Rents. Beneficiary or Trustee, at Beneficiary's option and without notice, may notify any lessee or tenant of this assignment of the Leases and Rents.
4.2 Protection of Security. To protect the security of this assignment, Trustor has agreed under the Loan Agreement (the terms of which are governed by the laws of the Jurisdiction) and hereby acknowledges its agreement (subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 9.4 thereof) as to the following:
(a) At Trustor's sole cost and expense: (i) to perform each obligation to be performed by the lessor or landlord under each Lease and to enforce or secure the performance of each obligation to be performed by the lessee or tenant under each Lease; (ii) not to modify any Lease in any material respect, nor accept surrender under or terminate the term of any Lease; (iii) not to anticipate the Rents under any Lease; and (iv) not to waive or release any lessee or tenant of or from any Lease obligations. Trustor assigns to Beneficiary all of Trustor's right and power to modify the terms of any Lease, to accept a surrender under or terminate the term of or anticipate the Rents under any Lease, and to waive or release any lessee or tenant of or from any Lease obligations, and any attempt on the part of Trustor to exercise any such rights or powers without Beneficiary's prior written consent shall be a breach of the terms hereof.
(b) At Trustor's sole cost and expense, to defend any action in any manner connected with any Lease or the obligations thereunder, and to pay all costs of Beneficiary or Trustee, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in any such action in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear.
(c) That, should Trustor fail to do any act required to be done by Trustor under a Lease, then Beneficiary or Trustee, but without obligation to do so and without notice to Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereunder, may make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Beneficiary or Trustee reasonably deems necessary to protect the security hereof, and, in exercising such powers, Beneficiary or Trustee may employ attorneys and other agents, and Trustor shall pay necessary costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Beneficiary or Trustee, or their agents, in the exercise of the powers granted herein. Trustor shall give prompt notice to Beneficiary of any default by any lessee or tenant under any Lease, and of any notice of default on the part of Trustor under any Lease received from a lessee or tenant thereunder, together with an accurate and complete copy thereof.
(d) To pay to Beneficiary immediately upon demand all sums expended under the authority hereof, including reasonable attorneys' fees, together with interest thereon at the highest rate per annum payable under any Secured Obligation, and the same, at Beneficiary's option, may be added to any Secured Obligation and shall be secured hereby.
4.3 License. Beneficiary confers upon Trustor a license (“License”) to collect and retain the Rents as, but not before, they come due and payable, until the occurrence of any Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the License shall be automatically revoked, and Beneficiary or Trustee may, at Beneficiary's option and without notice, either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court: (a) enter, take possession of, manage and operate the Subject Property or any part thereof; (b) make, cancel, enforce or modify any Lease; (c) obtain and evict tenants, fix or modify Rents, and do any acts which Beneficiary or Trustee deems proper to protect the security hereof; and (d) either with or without taking possession of the Subject Property, in its own name, sue for or otherwise collect and receive all Rents, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust. The entering and taking possession of the Subject Property, the collection of Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any Event of
Default, nor waive, modify or affect any notice of default hereunder, nor invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice. The License shall not grant to Beneficiary or Trustee the right to possession, except as provided in this Deed of Trust.
5. Security Interest. This Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement under the UCC and shall be deemed to constitute a Fixture financing statement. Trustor hereby grants a security interest in any personal property included in the Subject Property. On request of Beneficiary, Trustor will execute one or more financing statements in form satisfactory to Beneficiary and will pay all costs and expenses of filing the same in all public filing offices, where filing is deemed desirable by Beneficiary. Beneficiary is authorized to file financing statements relating to the Subject Property without Trustor's signature where permitted by law. Trustor appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact to execute such documents necessary to perfect Beneficiary's security interest on Trustor's behalf. The appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable as long as any Secured Obligations remain outstanding.
6. Rights and Duties of the Parties.
6.1 Title. Trustor warrants that, except as disclosed to Beneficiary prior to the date hereof in a writing which refers to this warranty, Trustor lawfully possesses and holds fee simple title to, or if permitted by Beneficiary in writing a leasehold interest in, the Subject Property without limitation on the right to encumber, as herein provided, and that this Deed of Trust is a valid lien on the Subject Property and all of Trustor's interest therein.

Except as otherwise provided in any Secured Obligation or other agreement with Beneficiary, Trustor shall pay when due all obligations secured by or reducible to Liens which shall now or hereafter encumber the Subject Property, whether senior or subordinate hereto, including without limitation, any mechanics' liens.

Trustor has agreed under the Loan Agreement (the terms of which are governed by the laws of the Jurisdiction), and Trustor acknowledges that it shall, at Trustor's sole expense: (a) protect, preserve and defend the Subject Property and Trustor's title and right to possession of the Subject Property against all adverse claims; and (b) protect, preserve and defend the security of this Deed of Trust and the rights and powers of Beneficiary and Trustee under this Deed of Trust against all adverse claims.

6.8 Other Covenants. All of the covenants in the Loan Agreement (the terms of which are governed by the laws of the Jurisdiction) are incorporated herein by reference and hereby made a part of this Deed of Trust and, together with the covenants in this Deed of Trust shall be covenants running with the Land.

6.9 Acceptance of Trust; Powers and Duties of Trustee. Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of Trust is executed. From time to time, upon written request of Beneficiary and, to the extent required by applicable law, presentation of this Deed of Trust for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any Person for payment of any Indebtedness or performance of any of the Secured Obligations, Beneficiary, or Trustee at Beneficiary's direction, may, without obligation to do so or liability therefor and without notice: (a) reconvey all or any part of the Subject Property from the lien of this Deed of Trust; (b) consent to the making of any map or plat of the Subject Property; and (c) join in any grant of easement or declaration of covenants and restrictions with respect to the Subject Property, or any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge of this Deed of Trust. Trustee or Beneficiary may from time to time apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in the execution of the trusts and the enforcement of its rights and remedies available under this Deed of Trust, and may obtain orders or decrees directing, confirming or approving acts in the execution of said trusts and the enforcement of said rights and remedies. Trustee has no obligation to notify any party of any pending sale or any action or proceeding (including, but not limited to, actions in which Trustor, Beneficiary or Trustee shall be a party) unless held or commenced and maintained by Trustee under this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall not be obligated to perform any act required of it under this Deed of Trust unless the performance of the act is requested in writing and Trustee is reasonably indemnified against all losses, costs, liabilities and expenses in connection therewith.

(a) Trustor shall pay all Trustee's fees and reimburse Trustee for all expenses in the administration of this trust, including reasonable attorneys' fees. Trustor shall pay Beneficiary reasonable compensation for services rendered concerning this Deed of Trust, including without limitation, the providing of any statement of amounts owing under any Secured Obligation. Beneficiary shall not directly or indirectly be liable to Trustor or any other person as a consequence of: (i) the exercise of any rights, remedies or powers granted to Beneficiary in this Deed of Trust; (ii) the failure or refusal of Beneficiary to perform or discharge any obligation or liability of Trustor under this Deed of Trust or any Lease or other agreement related to the Subject Property; or (iii) any loss sustained by Trustor or any third party as a result of Beneficiary's failure to lease the Subject Property after any Event of Default or from any other act or omission of Beneficiary in managing the Subject Property after any Event of Default unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Beneficiary; and no such liability shall be asserted or enforced against Beneficiary, and all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released by Trustor.
(b) Trustor shall indemnify Trustee and Beneficiary against, and hold them harmless from, any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, causes of action, judgments, court costs, attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, costs of evidence of title, costs of evidence of value, and other expenses which either may suffer or incur: (i) by reason of this Deed of Trust; (ii) by reason of the execution of this trust or the performance of any act required or permitted hereunder or by law; (iii) as a result of any failure of Trustor to perform Trustor's Obligations; or (iv) by reason of any alleged obligation or undertaking of Beneficiary to perform or discharge any of the representations, warranties, conditions, covenants or other obligations contained in any other document related to the Subject Property, including without limitation, the payment of any taxes, Impositions, rents or other lease obligations, Liens or other obligations of Trustor under this Deed of Trust. Trustor's duty to indemnify Trustee and Beneficiary shall survive the payment, discharge or cancellation of the Secured Obligations and the release or reconveyance, in whole or in part, of this Deed of Trust.
(c) Trustor shall pay all indebtedness arising under this Section immediately upon demand by Trustee or Beneficiary, together with interest thereon from the date such indebtedness arises at the highest rate per annum payable under any Secured Obligation. Beneficiary may, at its option, add any such indebtedness to any Secured Obligation.
6.11 Substitution of Trustees. From time to time, by a writing signed and acknowledged by Beneficiary and recorded in each Office in which this Deed of Trust is recorded, Beneficiary may appoint another trustee to act in the place and stead of Trustee or any successor. Such writing shall set forth any information required by law, and Beneficiary shall give such additional notice as may be required by law. Such instrument of substitution and the compliance with any other requirements of applicable law shall discharge Trustee herein named and shall appoint the new trustee as the trustee hereunder with the same effect as if originally named Trustee herein.
6.12 Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Except as permitted under the Loan Agreement (the terms of which are governed by the laws of the Jurisdiction) or with the prior written consent of Beneficiary in each instance, Trustor shall not (a) sell, convey, transfer or encumber the Subject Property, or any part thereof or interest therein, whether legal or equitable, (b) cause or permit any transfer of the Subject Property or any part thereof, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or (c) enter into any agreement or transaction to transfer, or accomplish in form or substance a transfer, of the Subject Property.

None of the foregoing actions shall release or reduce the personal liability of any Interested Party, nor release or impair the priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust upon the Subject Property.
6.14 Reconveyance. Upon Beneficiary's written request, and solely to the extent required by applicable law upon surrender of this Deed of Trust and every note or other instrument setting forth any Secured Obligations to Trustee for cancellation, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Subject Property, or that portion thereof then covered hereby, from the lien of this Deed of Trust. The recitals of any matters or facts in any reconveyance executed hereunder shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. To the extent permitted by law, the reconveyance may describe the grantee as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.” Neither Beneficiary nor Trustee shall have any duty to determine the rights of Persons claiming to be rightful grantees of any reconveyance. When the Subject Property has been fully reconveyed, the last such reconveyance shall operate as a reassignment of all future Rents to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto. Upon Beneficiary's demand, Trustor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any reconveyance.
6.15 Subrogation. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the lien of all encumbrances, whether or not released of record, paid in whole or in part by Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust or by the proceeds of any Secured Obligation.
6.16 Trustor Different From Obligor (“Third Party Trustor”). As used in this Section, the term “Obligor” shall mean each Person obligated in any manner under any of the Secured Obligations; and the term “Third Party Trustor” shall mean (1) each Person included in the definition of Trustor herein and which is not an Obligor under all of the Secured Obligations, and (2) each Person included in the definition of Trustor herein if any Obligor is not included in said definition.
(a) Representations and Warranties. Each Third Party Trustor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that: (i) this Deed of Trust is executed at an Obligor's request; (ii) this Deed of Trust complies with all agreements between each Third Party Trustor and any Obligor regarding such Third Party Trustor's execution hereof; (iii) Beneficiary has made no representation to any Third Party Trustor as to the creditworthiness of any Obligor; and (iv) each Third Party Trustor has established adequate means of obtaining from each Obligor on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to such Obligor's financial condition. Each Third Party Trustor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events or circumstances which might
in any way affect such Third Party Trustor's risks hereunder. Each Third Party Trustor further agrees that Beneficiary shall have no obligation to disclose to any Third Party Trustor any information or material about any Obligor which is acquired by Beneficiary in any manner. The liability of each Third Party Trustor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the rights of Beneficiary shall continue if and to the extent that for any reason any amount at any time paid on account of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Beneficiary, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The determination as to whether any amount so paid must be rescinded or restored shall be made by Beneficiary in its sole discretion; provided however, that if Beneficiary chooses to contest any such matter at the request of any Third Party Trustor, each Third Party Trustor agrees to indemnify and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expended or incurred by Beneficiary in connection therewith, including without limitation, in any litigation with respect thereto.
(b) Waivers.
(i) Each Third Party Trustor waives any right to require Beneficiary to: (A) proceed against any Obligor or any other Person; (B) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Obligor or any other Person; (C) give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale or other disposition of personal property security held from any Obligor or any other Person; (D) take any other action or pursue any other remedy in Beneficiary's power; or (E) make any presentment or demand for performance, or give any notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with any Obligations or evidences of Indebtedness held by Beneficiary as security for or which constitute in whole or in part the Secured Obligations, or in connection with the creation of new or additional obligations.
(ii) Each Third Party Trustor waives any defense to its obligations hereunder based upon or arising by reason of: (A) any disability or other defense of any Obligor or any other Person; (B) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of any Secured Obligation; (C) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner, agent or any other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any Obligor which is a corporation, partnership or other type of entity, or any defect in the formation of any such Obligor; (D) the application by any Obligor of the proceeds of any Secured Obligation for purposes other than the purposes represented by any Obligor to, or intended or understood by, Beneficiary or any Third Party Trustor; (E) any act or omission by Beneficiary which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of any Obligor or any portion of any Secured Obligation by operation of law or otherwise, or which in any way impairs or suspends any rights or remedies of Beneficiary against any Obligor; (F) any impairment of the value of any interest in any security for the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, including without limitation, the failure to obtain or maintain perfection or recordation of any interest in any such security, the release of any such security without substitution, and/or the failure to preserve the value of, or to comply with applicable law in disposing of, any such security; (G) any modification of any Secured Obligation, in any form whatsoever, including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of, or other change in the terms of, any Secured Obligation or any portion thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; or (H) any requirement that Beneficiary give any notice of acceptance of this Deed of Trust. Until all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, no Third Party Trustor shall have any right of subrogation, and each Third Party Trustor waives any right to enforce any remedy which Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against any Obligor or any other Person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary. Each Third Party Trustor further waives all rights and defenses
it may have arising out of: (1) any election of remedies by Beneficiary, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for any portion of the Secured Obligations, destroys such Third Party Trustor's rights of subrogation or such Third Party Trustor's rights to proceed against any Obligor for reimbursement; or (2) any loss of rights any Third Party Trustor may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of any Obligor in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging any Obligor's obligations, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including any rights any Third Party Trustor may have to a fair market value hearing to determine the size of a deficiency following any trustee's foreclosure sale or other disposition of any security for any portion of the Secured Obligations.
(iii) If any of said waivers is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective to the extent permitted by applicable law or public policy.
7. Default Provisions.
7.1 Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Deed of Trust: (a) Trustor shall fail to observe or perform any obligation or agreement contained herein; (b) any representation or warranty of Trustor herein shall prove to be incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect when made; (c) any default in the payment or performance of the Obligations, or any defined Event of Default, under any provisions of the Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document executed in connection with, or with respect to, any Secured Obligation; or (d) any notice by Trustor that this Deed of Trust no longer secures future advances.

(c) To commence and maintain an action or actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage or to obtain specific enforcement of the covenants of Trustor under this Deed of Trust, and Trustor agrees that such covenants shall be specifically enforceable by injunction or any other appropriate equitable remedy.

(d) To apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for and obtain appointment of a receiver of the Subject Property as a matter of strict right, and without regard to: (i) the adequacy of the security for the repayment of the Secured Obligations; (ii) the existence of a declaration that the Secured Obligations are immediately due and payable; or (iii) the filing of a notice of default; and Trustor consents to such appointment.

When the minimum period of time required by law after such notice has elapsed, Trustee, without notice to or demand upon Trustor, except as otherwise required by law, shall sell the Subject Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in the notice of sale, at one or several sales, either as a whole or in separate parcels and in such manner and order, all as directed by Beneficiary in its sole discretion, or by Trustor to the extent required by law, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, in lawful money of the United States, payable at the time of sale. Except as required by law, neither Trustor nor any other person or entity shall have the right to direct the order in which the Subject Property is sold. Subject to requirements and limits imposed by law, Trustee may postpone any sale of the Subject Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time and place fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser at such sale a deed conveying the Subject Property or portion thereof so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in said deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustee, Trustor or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale;

7.4 Application of Other Sums. All Rents or other sums received by Beneficiary or any agent or receiver hereunder, less all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary or such agent or receiver, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be applied to payment of the Secured Obligations in such order as Beneficiary shall determine in its sole discretion; provided however, that Beneficiary shall have no liability for funds not actually received by Beneficiary.
7.5 No Cure or Waiver.

LITIGATION; OTHER PROCEEDINGS
| |
1. | On August 27, 1999, DT Finance Corporation, Car Sales, DTCC and Champion Financial Services, Inc. were served with a subpoena duces tecum from the State of Arizona office of the Attorney General Consumer Protection and Advocacy Section requesting information in connection with an investigation under the Consumer Fraud Act (A.R.S. §§ 44-1521 et. seq.). |
2.On December 7, 2001, the office of the Arizona Attorney General presented DTAG with a Civil Investigative Demand seeking certain information about DTAG and its business practices.
3.In August 2008, DTAG received a Civil Investigative Demand (the Demand) from the State of Texas, Office of Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division, asking for the production of certain materials. The Demand indicates it is the subject of an investigation of possible violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, Sections 17.46(a) and (b) in the marketing, advertising, financing and selling of used cars. DTAG met with the Texas Attorney General's Office to provide them with an overview of DTAG and discuss the requested materials. At the meeting, DTAG agreed on some minor changes in the requested materials. In addition, the Attorney General's Office indicated that: (1) it was not their intent to file an action against DTAG; (2) they would review the materials DTAG provided to them; and (3) if there were any concerns they would contact us to meet, discuss and resolve the concerns. Their goal is simply to ensure DTAG is or will become compliant with Texas laws. Since that time, DTAG has responded to two additional requests for information, the AG's office inspected an Inspection Center in San Antonio and spoke with several employees, and DTAG has not heard from the AG's office since early 2010. DTAG expects to fully cooperate with the Texas Attorney General's Office in responding to the demand and any follow up discussions with them. DTAG believes it is in compliance with all applicable Texas laws and regulations.
On February 24, 2011, the Nevada Supreme Court denied DTAG's appeal regarding an adverse administrative ruling related to the efficacy of certain sales tax refunds DTAG had requested for the 2002 and 2003 tax years. Prior to this adverse ruling, the Department of Taxation of the State of Nevada had, in an audit for tax years 1998-2001, allowed such refunds. The Department is now taking the position that DTAG does not qualify to claim such refunds under the State's statute. DTAG also files for and receives sales tax refunds in states other than Nevada related to sales taxes paid on retail installment sales of the amount related to that portion of the sales price ultimately not collected from DTAG customers. To our knowledge, this decision by the State of Nevada should not affect DTAG's position regarding sales tax refunds in states other than Nevada. On March 14, 2011, DTAG filed a motion for reconsideration with the Nevada Supreme Court as
DTAG maintains its belief that it is entitled to these sales tax refunds. On March 28, 2011, DTAG received notice that the Department of Taxation had denied DTAG's motion. In April 2011, the Nevada Supreme Court denied DTAG's petition to rehear its appeal regarding certain sales tax refunds from the 2002 and 2003 tax years. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2010, DTAG accrued a liability related to this matter. As of March 31, 2011, the amount accrued is $5.7 million.
4. On April 12, 2012, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) delivered a Civil Investigative Demand to DTAG requesting that DTAG produce certain documents and information and answer questions relating to certain components of the business of DTAG and its affiliates. The CFPB has not alleged a violation by DTAG of any law and DTAG is cooperating with the CFPB's requests for information.
