Section 7.03   Right to Cure Defaults. During the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Mortgagor and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation hereunder, perform the obligations in Default in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Mortgagee is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes or appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Mortgage or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by applicable law), with interest thereon at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Mortgagee that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Mortgagee, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Mortgagee upon demand.

 

Section 7.04   Other Rights, Etc.

 

(a)          The failure of Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall not be relieved of Mortgagor's obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request of Mortgagor or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any Person liable for the Obligations or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Mortgagee extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)          It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Mortgagor, and Mortgagee shall have no liability whatsoever for any decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Mortgagee shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Mortgagee's possession.

 

(c)          Mortgagee may resort for the payment and performance of the Obligations (including, but not limited to, the payment of the Debt) to any other security held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee, in its discretion, may elect. Mortgagee may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce the Other Obligations or any covenant hereof, without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to foreclose this Mortgage. The rights of Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Mortgagee shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

 

14
 

 

 

Section 7.05   Right to Release Any Portion of the Property. Mortgagee may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Mortgagee may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the Lien or priority of this Mortgage, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the Debt shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Mortgagee for such release, and Mortgagee may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Mortgagee may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Mortgage shall continue as a Lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.

 

Section 7.06   Violation of Laws. If the Property is not in full compliance with all Legal Requirements, Mortgagee may impose additional requirements upon Mortgagor in connection herewith, including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.

STATE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

 

Section 15.01  Principles of Construction. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Article 15 and the other terms and conditions of this Mortgage, the terms and conditions of this Article 15 shall control and be binding.

 

Section 15.01  Recording Statute. The provisions set forth in this Mortgage are not intended to evidence an additional recordable event, as may be proscribed by Act 459 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 1996, but rather are included in this Mortgage for purposes of complying with applicable law. Notwithstanding the title of this document to the contrary, it is acknowledged by Mortgagor that this document grants to Mortgagee a security interest as provided herein, Mortgagor recognizing and acknowledging that under the recording statute of the State of Michigan MCLA §565.201(3), a document to be recorded with a Register of Deeds in the State of Michigan shall not purport to evidence more than one recordable event. All references in any other Loan Document to either a "Mortgage", a "Security Instrument", or a "Mortgage and Security Agreement", shall be deemed a reference to this Mortgage.

 

Section 15.02  Assignment of Leases and Rents. Mortgagee shall also be entitled to all the rights and remedies conferred by Act No. 210 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1953, as amended by Act No. 151 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1966 (MCLA §554.231, et seq.), and Act No. 228 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 1925 (MCLA §554.211, et seq.), and Act No. 66 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1956 (MCLA §565.81, et seq.).

If Mortgagor fails to pay any taxes or assessments assessed against the Property or to pay any premiums payable with respect to any insurance policy covering the Property, at the time or times such taxes, assessments, charges, or premiums are due and payable, that failure shall constitute waste under Act No. 236 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1961, as amended (MCLA §600.2927), and after the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, shall entitle Mortgagee to exercise the remedies afforded by such Act. Payment by Mortgagee for and on behalf of Mortgagor of any such delinquent tax or insurance premium properly payable by Mortgagor under the terms of this Mortgage, shall not cure any Event of Default herein described nor shall it in any manner impair Mortgagee's right to the appointment of a receiver on account thereof, as herein provided. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any such Event of Default, and on proper application made therefore by Mortgagee to a court of competent jurisdiction, Mortgagee shall forthwith be entitled to the appointment of a receiver of the Property and of the earnings, income, issues and profits thereof, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer.

Section 15.04  Power of Sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee is authorized and empowered to sell or cause to be sold the Property and to convey the same to the purchaser thereof, pursuant to the provisions of MCLA §600.3201, et seq., as amended, pertaining to foreclosure by advertisement, which statute does not require that the Mortgagor be personally notified of such sale or that a judicial hearing be held before the sale is conducted. Mortgagor hereby acknowledges that this Mortgage contains a POWER OF SALE and that in the event Mortgagee elects to foreclose by advertisement pursuant to the POWER OF SALE, in accordance with MCLA §600.3201 et seq., MORTGAGOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES NOTICE THEREOF (EXCEPT ANY NOTICE REQUIRED UNDER THE AFORESAID STATUTE), A HEARING PRIOR TO SALE AND ANY RIGHT, CONSTITUTIONAL OR OTHERWISE, THAT MORTGAGOR MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO REQUIRE A JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE. WARNING: THIS MORTGAGE CONTAINS A POWER OF SALE AND, UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HEREUNDER, MAY BE FORECLOSED BY ADVERTISEMENT (UNDER AND PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF MCLA §600.3201 ET SEQ.) OR BY JUDICIAL ACTION (UNDER AND PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF MCLA §600.3101). IN A FORECLOSURE BY ADVERTISEMENT, NO HEARING IS INVOLVED AND THE ONLY NOTICE REQUIRED IS PUBLICATION OF A FORECLOSURE NOTICE IN A LOCAL NEWSPAPER AND POSTING OF A COPY OF THE NOTICE UPON THE PROPERTY. IF THIS MORTGAGE IS FORECLOSED BY ADVERTISEMENT UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF MICHIGAN COMPILED LAWS §600.3201 (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION OF THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN), MORTGAGOR HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN AND THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO ANY NOTICE OF HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH SAID FORECLOSURE BY ADVERTISEMENT, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SAID MICHIGAN STATUTE PROVIDING FOR FORECLOSURE BY ADVERTISEMENT.

 

Section 15.05  Warranty of Title. The granting clause to this Mortgage is hereby amended to provide that Mortgagor mortgages and warrants its title in the Property to Mortgagee, for the purposes of creating a mortgage with a warranty of title in accordance with MCLA §565.154 et seq.

This Mortgage is a "Future Advance Mortgage" under Public Act 348 of Public Acts of 1990, as amended (MCLA §565.901, et seq.). All future advances under the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall have the same priority as if the figure advanced was made on the date that this Mortgage was recorded. This Mortgage shall secure all indebtedness of Mortgagor, its successors and assigns under the Note, this Mortgage and any other Loan Documents, whenever incurred, indebtedness to be due at the times provided in the Note, and in this Mortgage. Notice is hereby given that the indebtedness secured hereby may increase as a result of any advances, voluntary or involuntary, under the Note, this Mortgage or any other Loan Documents, any Event of Default hereunder by the Mortgagor due to, for example, and without limitation, unpaid interest or late charges, unpaid taxes or insurance premiums which Mortgagee elects to advance, defaults under leases that Mortgagee elects to cure, reasonable attorneys' fees or costs incurred in enforcing the Loan Documents or other expenses incurred by Mortgagee in protecting the Property, the security of this Mortgage or Mortgagee's rights and interests.
