c.           Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, Assignee shall have all rights granted to Assignee under the Loan Documents, and Assignee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to correct any default in such manner and to such extent as Assignee may reasonably deem necessary to protect the security hereof, including specifically, without limitation, the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Assignee, and also the right to perform and discharge each and every obligation, covenant, condition and agreement of Assignor under the Construction Documents, and, in exercising any such powers, to pay necessary costs and expenses, employ counsel and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. Assignee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does it hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under any of the Construction Documents, by reason of this Assignment.

 

d.           At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Assignee may, at its option, without notice, and without regard to the adequacy of security for the indebtedness hereby secured, either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court at any time hereafter, enforce for its own benefit the Construction Documents, or any of them. The exercise of any rights under this Assignment shall not be deemed to cure or waive any default under any of the Loan Documents, or waive, modify or affect any notice of default under any of the Loan Documents, or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.

 

e.           That the General Contractor and any other parties to the Construction Documents, upon written notice from Assignee of the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be and are hereby authorized by Assignor to perform for the benefit of Assignee in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof without any obligation to determine whether or not such an Event of Default has in fact occurred.

 

f.            That in the exercise of the powers herein granted to Assignee, no liability shall be asserted or enforced against Assignee, all such liability being hereby expressly waived and released by Assignor. Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Assignee, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, free and harmless from and against any and all liability, expense, cost, loss or damage which Assignee may incur by reason of any act or omission of Assignor under any of the Construction Documents; provided, however, in no event shall Assignor have any liability for Assignee’s gross negligence or willful actions. Should Assignee incur any liability, expense, cost, loss or damage (i) under the Construction Documents for which it is to be indemnified by Assignor as aforesaid, or (ii) by reason of the exercise of Assignee’s rights hereunder (including, but not limited to, the exercise of the rights granted to Assignee under Section 2(c) hereof), the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable, including costs, expenses and reasonable and actual attorney’s fees at standard hourly rates without regard to any presumptive statutory attorney’s fees, shall be secured hereby and by the Mortgage and all other Loan Documents (whether or not such amount, when aggregated with other sums secured by the Mortgage, exceeds the aggregate face amount of the Note) and shall (x) be due and payable immediately upon demand by Assignee and (y) from and after such demand, bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

g.           That this Assignment shall be assignable by Assignee to any assignee of Assignee under the Loan Agreement and all representations, warranties, covenants, powers and rights herein contained shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Assignor and Assignee and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.

3.           Assignor further hereby covenants and represents to Assignee that (a) Assignor has not previously assigned, sold, pledged, transferred, mortgaged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered the Construction Documents or any of them, or its right, title and interest therein; (b) Assignor shall not further assign, sell, pledge, transfer, mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber its interests in the Construction Documents or any of them; (c) Assignor has not performed any act which might prevent Assignor from performing its undertakings hereunder or which might prevent Assignee from operating under or enforcing any of the terms and conditions hereof or which would limit Assignee in such operation or enforcement; (d) Assignor is not in default under the Construction Documents, or any of them, and to the best knowledge of Assignor, no other party to the respective Construction Documents is in default thereunder except as disclosed in writing to Assignee; (e) except as provided in the Loan Agreement, no amendments to any of the Construction Documents will be made without the prior written consent of Assignee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and (f) upon execution of any of the Construction Documents, Assignor will deliver a copy of such Construction Documents (or the original at Assignee’s request) to Assignee and will require such of the parties thereto as Assignee may reasonably designate to execute and deliver to Assignee a consent to this Assignment, such consent to be identical to the applicable form of Consent and Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

4.           All notices, demands or documents which are required or permitted to be given or served hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given when delivered or mailed in the manner set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

5.           Any provision in the Loan Agreement that pertains to this Assignment shall be deemed to be incorporated herein as if such provision were fully set forth in this Assignment. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Assignment and the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall prevail. A provision in this Assignment shall not be deemed to be inconsistent with the Loan Agreement by reason of the fact that no provision in the Loan Agreement covers such provision in this Assignment.

 

6.           This Assignment is made for collateral purposes only and the duties and obligations of Assignor under this Assignment shall terminate when all sums due Assignee under the Loan Documents are paid in full and all obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements of Assignor contained in the Loan Documents are performed and discharged.

 

7.           This assignment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia.

 

8.           It is expressly intended, understood and agreed that this Assignment and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of Assignor, and Assignee, and their respective successors and assigns (but in the case of assigns of Assignor, only to the extent permitted hereunder); that no other person or persons shall have any right at any time to act hereon or rights to the proceeds of the loan evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents; that such loan proceeds do not constitute a trust fund for the benefit of any third party; that no third party shall under any circumstances be entitled to any equitable lien on any such undisbursed loan proceeds at any time; and that Assignee shall have a lien upon and right to direct application of any such undisbursed loan proceeds as provided in the Loan Documents.

 

- 4 -
 

  

10.           Assignor and Assignee intend and believe that each provision in this Assignment comports with all applicable local, state or federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Assignment is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Assignment to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent both of Assignor and Assignee that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Assignment shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein and that the rights, obligations and interests of Assignor and Assignee under the remainder of this Assignment shall continue in full force and effect.
