above) shall be payable to Mortgagee pursuant to a noncontributing first mortgagee endorsements satisfactory in form and substance to Mortgagee. Certificates of the original policies and renewals thereof covering the risks provided by this Mortgage to be insured against, and bearing satisfactory evidence of payment of all premiums thereon, shall be delivered to and held by Mortgagee on demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee all insurance policies and certificates that are requested by Mortgagee. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each policy required to be provided by Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall deliver certificates of renewal policies to Mortgagee with appropriate evidence of payment of premiums therefore. All insurance policies required by this Mortgage shall (1) include effective waivers by the insurer of all rights of subrogation against any named insured and any other loss payee; and (2) provide that any losses shall be payable to Mortgagee notwithstanding:

(i) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured or other loss payee,

(ii) the occupation or use of the Improvements or the Site for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof,

(iii) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Mortgagee pursuant to any provisions of this Mortgage, or

Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice to Mortgagee of any damage to, destruction of or other loss in respect of the Property, irrespective of whether any such damage, destruction or loss gives rise to an insurance claim. Mortgagor shall not carry additional insurance in respect of the Property unless such insurance is endorsed in favor of Mortgagee as loss payee.

(b) Mortgagor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Mortgagee (and all officers, employees or agents designated by Mortgagee) as Mortgagor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution, for the purpose of making and adjusting claims under such policies of insurance, endorsing the name of Mortgagor on any check, draft, instrument or other item or payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto. Mortgagee, without waiving or releasing any obligations or default by Mortgagor hereunder, may (but shall be under no obligation to do so) at any time maintain such action with respect thereto which Mortgagee deems advisable. All sums disbursed by Mortgagee in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, on demand, by Mortgagor to Mortgagee and shall be additional Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

(c) All proceeds of the insurance required to be obtained by Mortgagor hereunder, other than those relating to the comprehensive general public liability insurance, shall be held

in trust for and paid promptly to Mortgagee, and Mortgagee may deduct from such proceeds any expenses, including, without limitation, legal fees, incurred by Mortgagee in connection with adjusting and obtaining such proceeds (the balance remaining after such deduction being hereinafter referred to as the “Net Insurance Proceeds”). Mortgagee may, at its option, either:

(1) apply the Net Insurance Proceeds in reduction or satisfaction of all or any part of the Indebtedness, whether then matured or not, in which event Mortgagor shall be relieved of its obligation to maintain and restore the property relating to such proceeds to the extent that Mortgagee so applies such Net Insurance Proceeds; or (2) release the Net Insurance Proceeds to Mortgagor in whole or in part upon conditions satisfactory to Mortgagee. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagor shall have the right to adjust and compromise any such claims, subject to Mortgagee’s prior consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) The application of any insurance proceeds toward the payment or performance of the Indebtedness shall not be deemed a waiver by Mortgagee of its right to receive payment or performance of the rest of the Indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage, the Loan Documents and in any amendments, modifications or restatements to any of the foregoing.

(e) In the event of a foreclosure under this Mortgage, the purchaser of the Property shall succeed to all of the rights of Mortgagor, including any right to unearned premiums, in and to all policies of insurance which Mortgagor is required to maintain under this Section 3.6 and to all proceeds of such insurance.

(f) Without limiting Mortgagee’s rights under Section 3.9 of this Mortgage, if Mortgagor shall fail to keep the Property insured in accordance with this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, do so. Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee on demand for amounts incurred or expended therefore, with interest thereon pursuant to Section 3.9 hereof, and all such amounts incurred or expended, and all such interest thereon, shall be additional Indebtedness of Mortgagor secured hereby.

3.7 Sale, Transfer or Encumbrance.

(a) Mortgagor will not further mortgage, sell or convey, or grant a deed of trust, pledge, or grant a security interest in any of the Property, or contract to do any of the foregoing, or execute a land contract or installment sales contract, enter into a lease (whether with or without option to purchase) or otherwise dispose of, further encumber or suffer the encumbrance of any of the Property, whether by operation of law or otherwise.

(b) Mortgagor shall pay and discharge promptly, at Mortgagor’s cost and expense, all liens, encumbrances, and charges upon any part of the Property or any interest therein. If Mortgagor shall fail to discharge any such lien, encumbrance, or charge, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Mortgagee, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same, either by paying the amount claimed to be due, or by procuring the discharge of such lien by depositing in court a bond or the amount claimed or otherwise giving security for such claim, or in such manner as is or may be prescribed by law.

(c) Mortgagor will not institute or cause to be instituted any proceedings that could change the permitted use of the Property from the use presently zoned, and shall not grant any easements or licenses with respect to the Property.

 

OPEN-END-MORTGAGE © Fifth Third Bancorp 2001M (12/12) - 6 -52381-27-1-S.FOUS


(d) If a portion of the Property, or any beneficial interest therein, is sold, conveyed, transferred, encumbered, or full possessory rights therein transferred, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law, then the Mortgagee may declare all sums secured by this Mortgage to be immediately due and payable, whether or not the Mortgagee has consented or waived its rights in connection with any previous transaction of the same or a different nature.

3.8 Eminent Domain.

(a) Mortgagor shall give immediate notice to Mortgagee upon Mortgagor’s obtaining knowledge of (i) any interest on the part of any person possessing or who has expressed the intention to possess the power of eminent domain to purchase or otherwise acquire the Property or (ii) the commencement of any action or proceeding to take the Property by exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain or of any action or proceeding to close or to alter the grade of any street on or adjoining the Site. At its option Mortgagee may participate in any such actions or proceedings in the name of Mortgagee or, whenever necessary, in the name of Mortgagor, and Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee such instruments as Mortgagee shall request to permit such participation. Mortgagor shall not settle any such action or proceeding, whether by voluntary sale, stipulation or otherwise, or agree to accept any award or payment without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The total of all amounts awarded or allowed with respect to all right, title and interest in and to the Property or the portion or portions thereof taken or affected by such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and any interest thereon (herein collectively called the “Award”) is hereby assigned to, and shall be paid upon receipt thereof, to Mortgagee and the amount received shall be retained and applied as provided in Paragraph 3.8(b) below.

(b) Upon Mortgagee’s receipt of any Award, Mortgagee may, at its option, either:

(i) retain and apply the Award toward the Indebtedness; or (ii) subject to such escrow provisions as Mortgagee may require, pay the Award over in whole or part to pay or reimburse Mortgagor for the cost of restoring or reconstructing the Property remaining after such taking (the “Remaining Property”). If Mortgagee elects to pay the Award, or any part thereof, over to Mortgagor upon the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Remaining Property, any portion of the Award not used for the restoration or reconstruction of the Remaining Property shall, at the option of Mortgagee, be applied in reduction of the Indebtedness; provided, however, that to the extent that such portion of the Award shall exceed the amount required to satisfy in full the Indebtedness, Mortgagee shall pay the amount of such excess to Mortgagor or otherwise as required by law. In no event shall Mortgagee be required to release this Mortgage until the Indebtedness is fully paid and performed, nor shall Mortgagee be required to release from the lien of this Mortgage any portion of the Property so taken until Mortgagee receives the Award for the portion so taken.

(c) The application of the Award toward payment or performance of any of the Indebtedness shall not be deemed a waiver by Mortgagee of its right to receive payment or performance of the balance of the Indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage, the Loan Documents and in any amendments, modifications or restatements to any of the foregoing. Mortgagee shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to question or appeal the amount of the Award, and Mortgagee may accept same without prejudice to the rights that Mortgagee may have to question or appeal such amount. In any such condemnation or eminent domain action or proceeding Mortgagee may be represented by attorneys selected by Mortgagee, and all sums paid by Mortgagee in connection with such

action or proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto shall, on demand, be immediately due and payable from Mortgagor to Mortgagee and the same shall be added to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Mortgage.

(d) Notwithstanding any taking by condemnation or eminent domain, closing of, or alteration of the grade of, any street or other injury to or decrease in value of the Property by any public or quasi-public authority or corporation, the Indebtedness shall continue to bear interest until the Award shall have been actually received by Mortgagee, and any reduction in the Indebtedness resulting from the application by Mortgagee of the Award shall be deemed to take effect only on the date of such receipt thereof by Mortgagee.

3.9 Rights of Mortgagee. If Mortgagor fails to pay when due any Impositions when so required by this Mortgage, or if an Event of Default occurs under this Mortgage, Mortgagee at its option may pay such Impositions. If Mortgagor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Mortgage with respect to the Property, Mortgagee at its option may (but shall not be obligated to) perform any such obligations of Mortgagor. Mortgagee may enter upon the Property for the purpose of performing any such act, or to inspect the Property. All Impositions paid by Mortgagee and all monies expended by Mortgagee in performing any such obligations of Mortgagor (including legal expenses and disbursements), shall bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to six percent (6%) in excess of the Prime Rate of Fifth Third Bank then in effect, and such interest shall be paid by Mortgagor upon demand by Mortgagee and shall be additional Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

(e) Mortgagee may institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any of the provisions contained in this Mortgage, the Loan Documents and in any amendments, modifications or restatements to any of the foregoing.

(g) Mortgagee may enter upon the Property, and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and servants wholly therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and all other Property; and having and holding the same Mortgagee may use, operate, manage, preserve, control and otherwise deal therewith and conduct the business thereof, without interference from Mortgagor; and upon each such entry and from time to time thereafter Mortgagee may, at the expense of Mortgagor and the Property, without interference by Mortgagor and as Mortgagee may deem advisable, (i) insure or reinsure the Property, (ii) make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and (iii) in every such case in connection with the foregoing have the right to exercise all rights and powers of Mortgagor with respect to the Property, either in Mortgagor’s name or otherwise.

(h) Mortgagee may, with or without entering upon the Property, collect, receive, sue for and recover in its own name all rents and cash collateral derived from the Property, and may deduct therefrom all costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by Mortgagee in controlling the same and in using, operating, managing, preserving and controlling the Property, and otherwise in exercising Mortgagee’s rights under this Mortgage or the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all amounts disbursed to pay Impositions, insurance premiums and other charges in connection with the Property, as well as compensation for the services of Mortgagee and its respective attorneys, agents and employees.

(i) 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 position of Mortgagee with respect to the balance of the Property; 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.

(j) Mortgagee may take all actions, or pursue any other right or remedy, permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State in which the Property is located , under any other applicable law or in equity.

5.2 Mortgagee’s Cause of Action. Mortgagee shall have the right, from time to time, to bring an appropriate action to recover any sums required to be paid by Mortgagor under the terms of this Mortgage or the Loan Documents, as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the principal indebtedness or any other sums secured by this Mortgage or the Loan Documents shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to institute foreclosure or otherwise dispose of the Property or any part thereof, or any other action, for any default by Mortgagor existing at the time the earlier action was commenced.

5.3 Costs and Expenses. There shall be allowed and included as additional Indebtedness secured by the lien of this Mortgage, to the extent permitted by law, all expenditures and expenses of Mortgagee for attorneys’ fees, court costs, appraisers’ fees, sheriff’s fees, documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges, publication costs and such other costs and expenses as Mortgagee may deem reasonably necessary to exercise any remedies or to evidence to bidders at any sale of the Property the true condition of the title to or the value of the Property.

5.4 Proceeds. The proceeds received by Mortgagee in any foreclosure sale of the Property shall be distributed and applied in the following order of priority: first, on account of all costs and expenses incident to the foreclosure proceedings, including all such items as are mentioned in Section 5.3; second, to all other items which under the terms hereof constitute Indebtedness or Impositions; and, third, any surplus to Mortgagor, its legal representatives or assigns, or to third persons with rights to the proceeds, as their rights may appear.

5.5 Receiver. Without limiting the application of Section 5.1 of this Mortgage, upon, or at any time after, the filing of a suit to foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to have a court appoint a receiver of the Property. Such appointment may be made either before or after sale, without notice to Mortgagor or any other person, without regard to the solvency of the person or persons, if any, liable for the payment of the Indebtedness and without regard to the then value of the Property, and Mortgagee may be appointed as such receiver. The receiver shall have the power to collect the rents, issues and profits of the Property during the pendency of such foreclosure suit, as well as during any further times when Mortgagee, absent the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collect such rents, issues and profits, and all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Property during the whole of such period. The court from time to time may authorize the receiver to apply net income in the Receiver’s hands in payment in whole or in part of the Indebtedness, or in payment of any tax, assessment or other lien that may be or become superior to the lien hereof or superior to a decree foreclosing this Mortgage, provided such application is made prior to foreclosure sale.

5.6 Rights Cumulative. The rights of Mortgagee arising under the provisions and covenants contained in each of the Mortgage and the Loan Documents shall be separate, distinct and cumulative, and none of them shall be exclusive of the others. In addition to the rights set forth in this Mortgage or any other Loan Documents, Mortgagee shall have all rights and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Mortgagee may pursue its rights and remedies concurrently or in any sequence, and no act of Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein or in such other documents to the exclusion of any other provision, anything herein or otherwise to the contrary notwithstanding. If Mortgagor fails to comply with this Mortgage, no remedy of law will provide adequate relief to Mortgagee, and Mortgagee shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages.

5.7 No Merger. If Mortgagee shall at any time hereafter acquire title to any of the Property, then the lien of this Mortgage shall not merge into such title, but shall continue in full force and effect to the same extent as if the Mortgagee had not acquired title to any of the Property. Furthermore, if the estate of the Mortgagor shall be a leasehold, unless the Mortgagee shall otherwise consent, the fee title of the Property shall not merge with such leasehold, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in the ground lessor or in the fee owner, or in a third party, by purchase or otherwise. If, however, the Mortgagee shall be requested to and/or shall consent to such merger or such merger shall nevertheless occur without its consent, then this Mortgage shall attach to and cover and be a lien upon the fee title or any other estate in the Property demised under the ground lease acquired by the fee owner and the same shall be considered as mortgaged to the Mortgagee and the lien hereof spread to cover such estate with the same force and effect as though specifically herein granted.

5.8 Waivers of Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby waives the benefit of any stay, moratorium, valuation or appraisal law or judicial decision, any defects in any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee with respect to this Mortgage or any Loan Documents, and any right of redemption with respect to the Property. Mortgagor waives any right to require marshalling of assets in connection with enforcement of Indebtedness and any right to require the sale of the Property in parcels or to select the order in which parcels are to be sold. Mortgagor waives the right to all notices to which Mortgagor may otherwise be

 

OPEN-END-MORTGAGE © Fifth Third Bancorp 2001M (12/12) - 13 -52381-27-1-S.FOUS


entitled, except those expressly provided for herein. No delay on Mortgagee’s part in exercising any power of sale, lien, option or other right with respect to the Property, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon the Mortgagor by Mortgagee with respect to any power of sale, lien, option or other right with respect to the Property, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair Mortgagee’s right to take any action or to exercise any power of sale, lien option, or any other right with respect to the Property without notice or demand, or prejudice Mortgagee’s rights as against the Mortgagor in any respect. In addition, no action taken by Mortgagee with respect to the Property shall in any way impair or limit Mortgagee’s right to exercise any or all rights or remedies Mortgagee may otherwise have against Mortgagor with respect to any Indebtedness. This Mortgage shall not, in any manner, be construed as a compromise of any Indebtedness. The pledge of, and security interest in, the Property by the Mortgagor to Mortgagee are absolute, unconditional and continuing and will remain in full force and effect until the Indebtedness have been fully paid and satisfied. The pledge of, and security interest in, the Property will extend to and cover renewals of the Indebtedness and any number of extensions of time for payment thereof and will not be affected by any surrender, exchange, acceptance or release by the Mortgagee of any other pledge or any security held by it for any of the Indebtedness. Notice of acceptance of the pledge and security interest, notice of extensions of credit to the Mortgagor from time to time, notice of default, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of demand or protest, notice of making, renewing or extending any of the Indebtedness and any defense based upon a failure of Mortgagee to comply with the notice requirements of the applicable version of Uniform Commercial Code are hereby waived. Mortgagee in its sole discretion may determine the reasonableness of the period which may elapse prior to the making of demand for any payment upon the Mortgagor or any guarantor and it need not pursue any of its remedies against any other party before having recourse against the Property.

Upon any Event of Default under this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and, at Mortgagee’s option, may also invoke the remedies provided in this Mortgage. In exercising any of said remedies, Mortgagee may proceed against the items of real property and any items of personal property specified above as part of the Property separately or together and in any order whatsoever, without in any way affecting the availability of Mortgagee’s remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code or of the remedies in this Mortgage.

6.2 Waiver. No delay or omission by Mortgagee to exercise any right shall impair any such right or be a waiver thereof, but any such right may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. Each waiver must be in writing and executed by Mortgagee to be effective, and a waiver on one occasion shall be limited to that particular occasion.

6.3 Amendments in Writing. No change, amendment, or modification hereof, or any part hereof, shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns.

6.4 Notices. All notices, demands and requests given or required to be given by either party hereto to the other party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given if sent by U.S. registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by overnight delivery or to such other address as Mortgagor or Mortgagee may from time to time designate by written notice.

6.5 Interpretation. The titles to the Sections and Paragraphs hereof are for reference only and do not limit in any way the content thereof.

6.7 Complete Agreement; Counterparts. This Mortgage and the Exhibits are the complete agreement of the parties hereto and supersede all previous understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

6.10 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto; however, Mortgagor may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder. Mortgagee may assign this Mortgage to any other person, firm, or corporation provided all of the provisions hereof shall continue in force and effect and, in the event of such assignment, any advances made by any assignee shall be deemed made in pursuance and not in modification hereof and shall be evidenced and secured by, the Loan Documents and this Mortgage.

6.11 Interest. In no event shall the interest rate and other charges related to the Indebtedness exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that a court determines that Mortgagee has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the highest permissible rate applicable hereto, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the principal balance of the Indebtedness, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest permissible rate. If there is no Indebtedness outstanding, Mortgagee shall refund to Mortgagor such excess.

6.12 O.R.C. 1311.14. This Mortgage secures unpaid balances of obligatory loan advances to be made by Mortgagee to Mortgagor pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents obligate Mortgagee to advance to Mortgagor certain sums under definite and certain conditions, in a particular manner and at the times set forth therein, the total outstanding indebtedness of which, at any one time, is equal to the amount of the debt secured by this Mortgage. Mortgagee is authorized and empowered to do all things provided to be done by a Mortgagee under Section 1311.14 of the Ohio Revised Code and any amendments or supplements thereto. This Mortgage is made pursuant to Section 5301.232 and Chapter 1309, including Section 1309.334, of the Ohio Revised Code.

6.13 Future Advances. The parties hereto intend and agree that this Mortgage shall secure unpaid balances of any loan advances, whether obligatory or not, and whether made pursuant to the Loan Documents or not, made by Mortgagee after this Mortgage is recorded to the extent that the total unpaid loan indebtedness, exclusive of interest thereon, does not exceed the maximum aggregate amount of unpaid loan indebtedness which may be outstanding at any time, which is One Million Four Hundred Thirty Five Thousand and 00\100 Dollars ($1,435,000.00). Mortgagor further covenants and agrees to repay all such loan advances with interest, and that the covenants contained in this Mortgage shall apply to such loan advances as well.

6.14 Mortgagee’s Status. Mortgagor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the undertaking of Mortgagee under this Mortgage is limited as follows:

Mortgagee shall not act in any way as the agent for or trustee of Mortgagor. Mortgagee does not intend to act in any way for or on behalf of Mortgagor with respect to disbursement of the proceeds of the indebtedness secured hereby. Mortgagee’s intent in imposing the requirements set forth herein and in the Loan Documents is that of a lender protecting the priority of its mortgage and the value of its security. Mortgagee assumes no responsibility for the completion of any Improvements erected or to be erected upon the Property; the payment of bills or any other details in connection with the Property; any plans and specifications in connection with the Property; or Mortgagor’s relations with any contractors. This Mortgage is not to be construed by Mortgagor or anyone furnishing labor, materials, or any other work or product for improving the Property as an agreement upon the part of the Mortgagee to assure anyone that such person will be paid for furnishing such labor, materials, or any other work or product; any such person must look entirely to Mortgagor for such payment. Mortgagee assumes no responsibility for the architectural or structural soundness of any improvements on or to be erected upon the Property or for the approval of any plans and specifications in connection therewith or for any improvements as finally completed.
