Such added payments shall not be, nor be deemed to be, trust funds but may be commingled with the general funds of Lender and no interest shall be payable on them. At the option of Lender such added payments may be carried as a debt item on Lender's books and accounts. Upon demand of Lender, the Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender such additional amounts as are necessary to make up any deficiencies in the amounts necessary to enable Lender to pay such taxes, assessments and similar charges. Borrower shall submit to Lender promptly the ad valorem tax notice-receipt, and Lender's obligation to pay the taxes is incumbent upon prompt submission of said tax notice. Lender shall have no responsibility for payment of any taxes and assessments hereunder, except to the extent that funds are deposited by Borrower with Lender hereunder and available for payment. In the event of a default by the Borrower in the Note or Mortgage, Lender may apply to the reduction of the sums secured hereby, in such manner as Lender shall determine, any amount under this paragraph 1.03 remaining to the Borrower's credit. 1.04 Other Taxes, Liens and Utility Charges.

The form of such policies and the companies issuing them shall be acceptable to Lender. All policies shall contain a Florida standard, non-contributory mortgagee endorsement making losses payable to Lender. The Borrower shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained hereunder, unless Lender is included thereon under a Florida standard, non-contributory mortgagee endorsement making losses payable to Lender. Borrower shall immediately notify Lender whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to Lender the policy or policies of such insurance. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of all such policies, renewals thereof, or substituted policies or certificates, satisfactory to Lender shall be delivered to Lender. The Borrower shall deliver to Lender receipts evidencing the payment of all such insurance policies and renewals upon Lenders request therefor. The delivery of the insurance policies shall constitute an assignment, as further security of all unearned premiums.

(b) Lender is hereby authorized and empowered, at its option, to adjust or compromise any loss under any casualty insurance policies. Each insurance company is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for all such losses to the Borrower and Lender jointly. After deducting from the insurance proceeds any expenses incurred by it in the collection or handling of said funds, the Lender shall apply the net proceeds, at its option, either toward restoring the improvements or to the reduction of the indebtedness secured by this mortgage or for any other purpose or object satisfactory to Lender without affecting the lien of the Mortgage for the full amount secured hereby before such payment took place. Lender shall not be held responsible for any failure to collect any insurance proceeds due under the terms of any policy regardless of the cause of such failure. (c) At the option of Lender the Borrower will pay to Lender each month, together with and in addition to the regular installment of interest and principal and until the Note is fully paid, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the yearly premiums for insurance. Such amount shall be used by Lender to pay such insurance premiums when due. Borrower shall promptly furnish Lender with the insurance premium statement. Such added payments shall not be, nor be deemed Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 5 6 to be, trust funds, but may be commingled with the general funds of Lender and no interest shall be payable in respect thereof. At the option of Lender such added payments may be carried as a debit item on Lender's books and accounts. Upon demand of Lender, the Borrower agrees to deliver to the Lender such additional moneys as are necessary to make up any deficiencies in the amounts necessary to enable Lender to pay such insurance premiums. Lender shall have no responsibility for payment of any premiums for insurance hereunder, except to the extent that funds are deposited by Borrower with Lender hereunder and available for payment. In the event of a default by the Borrower in the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions in the Note or Mortgage, Lender may apply to the reduction of the sums secured hereby, in such manner as Lender shall determine, any amount paid in accordance herewith remaining to the Borrower's credit. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, after deducting any expenses Lender incurs in collecting or handling the insurance proceeds (including reasonable attorneys' fees), Lender shall hold the net insurance proceeds and make them available to Borrower for the repair and restoration of the Improvements provided the following conditions are met: (i) No default exists and no fact exists that could, with the passage of time, constitute a default under the Note or this Mortgage; (ii) Lender reasonably determines that the cost to repair and restore the Improvements will not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness secured hereby; (iii) Lender reasonably determines that the Improvements may be repaired and restored before the maturity date of the Note (as that maturity date may be extended from time to time); (iv) Lender reasonably determines that the governmental regulations applicable to the Mortgaged Property at the time of repair and restoration of the Improvements will permit the Improvements to be repaired and restored substantially to the condition existing before the damage occurred without the requirement that the Borrower first obtain a variance; (v) Borrower provides Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that there are sufficient funds from the insurance proceeds and from Borrower's other funds (if needed) to repair and restore the Improvements and to pay all expenses of operating the Mortgaged Property, including all payments required under the Note or this Mortgage during the period of repair and restoration; (vi) Borrower provides Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that all parties having an existing or expected interest in the Mortgaged Property (tenants, potential lenders, potential purchasers, contract parties for materials and services, and the like) will continue their contractual arrangements with Borrower under the terms of their respective contracts during the repair and restoration and, if necessary, they will extend the dates for performance in their respective contracts by the time necessary to complete the repair and restoration; Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 6 7 (vii) Borrower provides Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that all parties having management or franchise interests in and arrangements concerning the Mortgaged Property will continue their respective contractual arrangements with Borrower during and following the repair and restoration; and (viii) Borrower provides Lender with all assurances Lender may reasonably require that Lender will not incur liability to any other person as a result of applying the insurance proceeds to the repair and restoration of the Improvements. Lender shall hold the net insurance proceeds and make the net insurance proceeds available to Borrower, during the period of restoration of the Improvements subject to Lender's reasonable requirements. If one or more of the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (i) through (viii) above are not met, at its option, Lender may apply the insurance proceeds to the reduction of all sums secured by this Mortgage, whether or not due, in any order Lender chooses, or Lender may apply the insurance proceeds to the restoration of the Improvements. If Lender makes the proceeds available to Borrower for the repair and restoration of the Improvements, Lender may impose such terms and conditions as Lender may reasonably consider advisable to assure the quality of the restoration and the proper application of the insurance proceeds to the costs of restoration. Lender's application of the insurance proceeds to the reduction of all sums secured by this Mortgage shall not obligate Lender to release any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien and operation of this Mortgage. In any event, Lender is not responsible to Borrower for any failure to collect insurance proceeds. 1.06 Condemnation. If all or any part of the Mortgaged Property shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term when used in this Mortgage shall include any damage or taking by any governmental authority and any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), either temporarily or permanently, except as hereafter provided, Lender shall be entitled to all compensation, awards and other payments or relief therefor and is hereby authorized, at its option and to the extent permitted by law, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or the Borrower's name, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation. All such compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds and the right thereto are hereby assigned by the Borrower to Lender, who, after deducting therefrom all its expenses, including attorney's fees (and appeals), may release any moneys so received by it without affecting the lien of this Mortgage or may apply the same in such manner as Lender shall determine, to the reduction of the sums secured hereby and to any prepayment charge herein provided and any balance of such moneys then remaining shall be paid to the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to execute such further assignments of any compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds as Lender may require. 1.07 Waste and Mechanic's Lien.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such lien is involuntarily imposed and Borrower intends to contest such lien in good faith, Borrower shall have the right to contest the lien provided adequate security is posted with Lender to secure payment of same. 1.08 Further Assurances; After Acquired Property. At any time and from time to time, upon request by Lender the Borrower will make, execute and deliver or cause to be made, executed and delivered to Lender and, where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be re-recorded and/or refiled at such time and in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by Lender and any and all such other and further mortgages, instruments of further assurance, certificates and other documents including, without limitation, any further security agreements and financing statement as may, in the opinion of Lender be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to effectuate, complete or perfect or to continue and preserve (a) the obligation of the Borrower under the Note and this Mortgage and (b) the lien of this Mortgage as a first and prior lien upon all of the Mortgaged Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower.

The provisions of this section shall be deemed to survive satisfaction of the Note or issuance of a certificate of title and shall continue in full force and effect after any foreclosure or other proceeding by which the Lender, its successors and assigns, succeed to ownership of the Mortgaged Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity of the Borrower hereunder may be released by Lender, at its sole option, upon payment in full of all amounts due under the Loan Documents, provided: (a) There has been no uncured default or event of default during the term of the Loan; (b) There have been no violations of any Environmental Laws, no unresolved Environmental Complaints and no adverse developments in the Environmental Laws or case law pursuant to which Lender could be held liable for environmental matters related to the Loan; (c) If deemed necessary by Lender, at Lender's option, an environmental study (or studies) acceptable to Lender has been prepared and provided to Lender, at Borrower's expense, ensuring that there are no environmental problems related to the Mortgaged Property; (d) If deemed necessary by Lender, at Lender's option, an opinion letter relating to environmental matters has been obtained from an attorney acceptable to Lender, at Borrower's expense, in form and content acceptable to Lender; and (e) Lender has not held title to the Mortgaged Property. Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 11 12 Those liabilities, losses, claims, damages and expenses for which Lender is indemnified under this subparagraph (k) shall be reimbursable to Lender and Borrower shall pay such liability, losses, claims, damages and expenses to Lender as so incurred within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender itemizing the amounts incurred to the date of such notice. In addition to any remedy available for failure to periodically pay such amounts, such amounts shall thereafter bear interest at the "Default Rate" as defined in the Loan Documents. Borrower waives any acceptance of this indemnity by Lender. The failure of Lender to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or to promptly enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof nor give rise to any estoppel against Lender, nor excuse Borrower from its obligations hereunder. Any waiver of such right or remedy must be in writing and signed by Lender. This indemnity is subject to enforcement at law and/or equity, including actions for damages and/or specific performance. (l) That for purposes of this Mortgage, "Environmental Law" or "Environmental Laws" shall mean any Federal, state, or local statutory or common law, ordinance, rule or regulation, whether now in existence or established or enacted in the future, relating to pollution or protection of the environment, including without limitation, any common law of nuisance or trespass, and any law, rule or regulation relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of pollutants, contaminants or chemicals, or industrial, toxic or hazardous substances or waste into the environment (including without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata) or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of pollutants, contaminants or chemicals or industrial, toxic or hazardous substances or wastes. (m) That for the purposes of this Mortgage, the term "Hazardous Substance" means any substance, waste or material or other environmentally regulated substance (i) identified in Section 101(14) of CERCLA, 42 USC S 9601(14), and as set forth in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 302, as the same may be amended from time to time, or (ii) determined to be or classified as toxic, a pollutant or a contaminant under Federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance, rule, or regulation or judicial or administrative order or decision, as same may be amended from time to time, including but not limited to petroleum and petroleum products as defined in Sec. 376.301(10), Florida Statutes, as same may be amended from time to time, (iii) asbestos, (iv) radon, (v) polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCB's") and (vi) such other materials, substances or waste which are otherwise dangerous, hazardous, harmful or deleterious to human health or the environment. (n) That if an Environmental Complaint is outstanding, Lender shall have the right, to be exercised in its reasonable discretion, to require Borrower to periodically perform (at Borrower's expense) an environmental audit relative to such Environmental Complaint and, if deemed necessary by Lender, an environmental risk and hazardous waste management practices assessment of the Mortgaged Property, each of which must be satisfactory to Lender. Such audit and/or risk assessment must be by an environmental consultant satisfactory to Lender. Should Borrower fail to perform such environmental audit or risk assessment within 30 days of the Lender's written request, Lender shall have the right but not the obligation to retain an environmental consultant to perform said environmental audit or risk assessment. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in the exercise of such rights shall bear interest at the default rate set forth in the Note and shall be secured by this Mortgage and other documents evidencing or securing the Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 12 13 Loan and shall be payable by Borrower upon demand or charged to Borrower's loan balance at the discretion of the Lender. (o) That any breach of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement contained in this Section 1.12 shall be an Event of Default as that term is defined in the documents which evidence or secure the Loan and shall entitle Lender to exercise any and all remedies provided in those documents and the Note and Mortgage, or otherwise permitted by law. 1.13 Prohibition on Alteration of Borrower's Structure. During the term of this Mortgage, the composition of Borrower shall not be altered. 1.14 Defense By Borrower. At Lender's option, the Borrower shall, at Borrower's expense, appear in and defend any suit, action or proceeding which might in any way and in the sole judgment of Lender affect the value of the Mortgaged Property, the priority of this Mortgage or the rights and powers of Lender. 1.15 Time. Borrower agrees that time is of the essence hereof in connection with all obligations of the Borrower herein or in the Note or any other instruments constituting additional security for the Note. 1.16 Compliance With Laws. Borrower shall promptly comply with and perform all of Borrower's obligations, if any, under all applicable laws, regulations, rules, and ordinances applicable to the Mortgaged Property. 1.17 Use and Alteration of Mortgaged Property. Unless required by applicable law or unless Lender has otherwise agreed in writing, Borrower shall not allow changes in the nature of the occupancy for which the Mortgaged Property was intended at the time of execution of this Mortgage. Borrower shall not initiate or acquiesce in a change in the zoning classification of the Mortgaged Property without Lender's written consent. Borrower shall not make any change in the use of the Mortgaged Property which will create a fire or other hazard not in existence on the date hereof, nor shall Borrower in any way increase any hazard. Without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, no building or improvement may be erected on the Mortgaged Property, nor may Borrower structurally remove or demolish any building or improvement, nor may Borrower materially structurally alter any building or improvement that would change the use of the Mortgaged Property or that would otherwise decrease its value, nor shall any fixture or personal property covered by this Mortgage be removed at any time unless simultaneously replaced by an article of equal kind, quality and value owned by Borrower, and which is unencumbered except by the lien of this Mortgage and other instruments of security securing the Note. 1.18 Surface Alteration and Mineral Rights. Borrower shall not consent to, permit or indulge in any entry, either by itself or by any others, upon the surface of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of exploration, drilling, prospecting, mining, excavating or removal of any earth, sand, dirt, rock, minerals, oil or any other substance without the Lender's approval and written consent. 1.19 Assignment of Rents. Borrower does hereby assign and set over unto the Lender as additional security for the indebtedness and other items herein secured, all rents, issues, profits, income and accounts receivable generated through the use by Borrower or others of all or any part Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 13 14 of the Mortgaged Property, including any such rents, issues, profits, income and accounts receivable of any business activity conducted by Borrower on or through the use of the Mortgaged Property, as well as the proceeds of all the foregoing. Borrower does hereby appoint the Lender its attorney-in-fact to collect said rents, issues, profits, income and accounts receivable with or without suit and apply the same, less expenses of collection, to the said indebtedness, other secured items and repairs, in such manner as the Lender may elect; provided, however, that until there be a default under the terms of this Mortgage (which is not cured within the applicable curative period prescribed herein), Borrower may continue to collect and enjoy said rents, issues, profits, income and accounts receivable giving only an annual accounting to the Note holder for the same. The curing of any default within the period permitted by this Mortgage shall entitle the Borrower to again collect said rents, issues, profits, income and accounts receivable. This assignment of rents, issues, profits, income, and accounts receivable and power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be in addition to the other remedies herein provided for in event of default and may be put into effect independently of or concurrently with any of said remedies, but no liability shall attach to the Lender for failure or inability to collect any rents, issues, profits, income and accounts receivable herein assigned. Assignment, lien, and power of attorney shall apply to all rents, issues, profits, income, accounts receivable choses in action and the proceeds of same hereafter accruing from present contracts for deed, purchase agreements, option agreements or leases and rentals of the Mortgaged Property and any business activity conducted from or on the Mortgaged Property and from all contracts for deed or purchase agreements, option agreements or leases and rentals and any business activity hereafter made or conducted by the present or any future owners of the Mortgaged Property, and any persons entering into contracts for purchase or sale of the Mortgaged Property shall take subject to all the provisions and conditions hereof. ARTICLE TWO DEFAULTS 2.01 Event of Default. The term "Event of Default," wherever used in the Mortgage, shall mean any one or more of the following events: (a) Failure by the Borrower to make any payment to Lender when due under the Note, this Mortgage or any other Loan Document which default is not cured within ten (10) days of such due date; or (b) Failure by the Borrower to duly observe any other covenant, condition or agreement of this Mortgage or the documents evidencing or securing the indebtedness secured hereby or any other security instrument given hereunder not described in (a) above, which default is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to Borrower; or (c) A default shall occur under any other note or evidence of indebtedness of Borrower held by Lender or under any instrument of security therefore which default is not cured within the applicable cure period. (d) The filing by the Borrower or a loan guarantor ("Guarantor") of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy for adjudication as a bankrupt or insolvent or the filing by the Borrower or Guarantor of any petition or answer seeking or acquiescing in any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 14 15 relief for debtors or the Borrower or Guarantor seeking or consenting to or acquiescence in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Borrower or Guarantor or of all of the rents, revenues, issues, earnings, profits or income thereof or the making of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors or the admission in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or (e) The failure to discharge within thirty (30) days of filing a petition filed against the Borrower or Guarantor seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors or the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Borrower of all or any substantial part of the Mortgaged Property or of any or all of the rents, revenues, issues, earnings, profits or income thereof without the consent or acquiescence of the Borrower; or (f) any warranty, representation, certificate or statement of Borrower or Guarantor (whether contained in this Mortgage, the Note, or other instruments of security or other instruments executed in connection with the loan secured hereby) shall be reasonably determined by the Lender to have been false or misleading in any material respect as of the date on which the same was made or given and Borrower or Guarantor shall not have cured the default within 30 days after notice from Lender; or (g) default shall occur under or any proceedings shall be instituted for the foreclosure or collection of any mortgage, judgment or lien prior or subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage (including collateral encumbered by the other instruments of security for the Note) and said default or proceeding shall not be cured or dismissed within 30 days after notice from Lender to Borrower; or (h) any license or permit in existence on the date of this Mortgage or any other license or permit necessary for the operation and use of the Mortgaged Property contemplated herein shall be revoked or terminated or should any conditions imposed by any governmental authority not be complied with by the time requested by such authority as a condition to non-revocation or non-termination and Borrower shall not have replaced the license or permit or complied with the condition in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender within 30 days after written notice from Lender. 2.02 Acceleration of Maturity. If a monetary default shall occur hereunder and remains uncured for ten (10) days or more, or should a nonmonetary default occur hereunder and remain uncured for thirty (30) days or more after notice thereof, then, without notice, the full unpaid principal amount of the Note together with all accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the Lender as fully and completely as if said aggregate sum were originally stipulated to be paid at such time. A monetary default shall be deemed to include failure to make payments of principal, interest and late charges under the Note as well as payments of escrow, taxes and governmental assessments and premiums for insurance under this Mortgage and any security agreement securing the Note. That is to say, upon the breach of any of the terms or covenants herein to be performed by the Borrower and the failure of the Borrower to cure such breach within the applicable curative period set forth in the preceding sentence, the Lender or holder shall have the right to accelerate the maturity of this Mortgage as though it were due and payable on the day following such curative period and to demand payment in full of the Mortgage amount or any unpaid balance thereof, and to exercise all the rights and remedies herein or by law Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 15 16 reserved to the Lender the same as in any event of default hereunder, anything in the Note secured hereby or herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph 2.02 to the contrary, there shall be no requirement of a curative period as set forth above in the event of default specified in paragraphs 2.01(c), (d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) hereof. 2.03 Lender's Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and Apply Income. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower agrees that upon demand of Lender, Borrower shall forthwith surrender to Lender the actual possession and if and to the extent permitted by law Lender itself or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all the Mortgaged Property and may exclude the Borrower and its agents and employees wholly therefrom and may have joint access with the Borrower to the books, papers and accounts of the Borrower. (b) If the Borrower shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver any such Mortgaged Property or any part thereof after such demand by Lender, Lender may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on Lender the right to immediate possession or requiring the Borrower to deliver immediate possession of all or part of such Mortgaged Property to Lender, to the entry of which judgment or decree the Borrower hereby specifically consents. (c) The Borrower will pay to Lender, upon demand, all expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree and reasonable compensation to Lender, its attorneys (including appeals) and agents; and all such expenses and compensation shall be added to the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and shall earn interest at the Default Rate provided in the Note. (d) Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Lender may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business thereof and from time to time: (i) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property; (ii) insure or keep the Mortgaged Property insured; (iii) manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and exercise all the rights and powers of the Borrower in its name or otherwise, with respect to the same; (iv) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted to Lender, all as Lender from time to time may determine to be to its best advantage; and Lender may collect and receive all the income revenues, rents, issues and profits of the same, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and after deducting: (aa) All expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Mortgaged Property (including compensation for the services of all persons employed for such purposes); Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 16 17 (bb) The cost of all such maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions; (cc) The cost of such insurance; (dd) Such taxes, assessments, including condominium and homeowner's association assessments, and other charges prior to the lien of this Mortgage as Lender may determine to pay; (ee) Other proper charges upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof; and (ff) The reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the attorneys (including appeals) and agents of Lender, shall apply the remainder of the moneys so received by Lender, first to the payment of accrued interest; and then to the payment of principal or any other indebtedness that may be due hereunder. (e) Whenever all that is due upon such interest, principal installments and other amounts which may become due under any of the terms of this Mortgage shall have been paid and all defaults made good, Lender shall surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to the Borrower, its successors or assigns. The same right of taking possession, however, shall exist if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing. 2.04 Receiver. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall be entitled, as a matter of strict right and without regard to the value or occupancy of the security, to have a receiver appointed to enter upon and take possession of the premises, collect the rents and profits therefrom and apply the same as the court may direct, such receiver to have all rights and powers permitted under the laws of Florida. The expenses, including receiver's fees, attorneys' fees (including appeals), costs and agent's compensation, incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured hereby. The right to enter and take possession of said property, to manage and operate the same, to collect the rents, issues and profits thereof whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy hereunder or afforded by law and may be exercised concurrent therewith or independently thereof. Lender shall be liable to account only for such rents, issues and profits actually received by Lender whether received pursuant to this Paragraph 2.04 or the preceding Paragraph 2.03. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, trustee or other custodian, Lender shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash or other instruments, at the time held by or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Mortgage to Lender. 2.05 Lender's Power of Enforcement. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may, either with or without entry or taking possession as hereinabove provided or otherwise, proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (a) to enforce payment of the Note or the performance of any term hereof or any other right, (b) to foreclose this Mortgage and to sell, as an entirety or in separate units, lots or parcels, the Mortgaged Property, under the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction and (c) to pursue any other remedy available to it, all as Lender shall deem most effectual for such purpose. Lender shall take action either by such proceedings or by the exercise of its powers with respect to entry or taking possession, as Lender may determine. Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 17 18 2.06 Principal and Interest Become Due on Foreclosure. Upon commencement of suit or foreclosure of this Mortgage, the unpaid principal of the Note, if not previously declared due and the interest accrued thereon, shall at once become and be immediately due and payable. 2.07 Purchase by Lender. Upon any such foreclosure sale pursuant to judicial proceedings, Lender may bid for and purchase the Mortgaged Property and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability. 2.08 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension, Redemption Laws. The Borrower agrees to the full extent permitted by law that in case of a default on its part hereunder, neither the Borrower nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage or the absolute sale of the property hereby conveyed or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereat and the Borrower for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it hereby waives to the full extent that it may lawfully so do the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have the assets comprised in the security intended to be created hereby marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that Lender or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Mortgaged Property as an entirety. 2.09 Suits to Protect the Mortgaged Property. Lender shall have power (a) to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any acts which may be unlawful or any violation of the Mortgage, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property and in the income, revenues, rents and profits arising therefrom and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other government enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of Lender. All payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be immediately repaid by the Borrower to the Lender, with interest thereon at the same rate as provided by the Note secured by this Mortgage. 2.10 Borrower to Pay the Note on Any Default in Payment; Application of Moneys by Lender. If default shall be made in the payment of any amount due under the Note or Mortgage, then upon demand of Lender, the Borrower will pay to Lender the whole amount due and payable under the Note; and in case the Borrower shall fail to pay the same forthwith upon such demand, Lender shall be entitled to sue for and to recover judgment for the whole amount so due and unpaid together with costs, which shall include the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of Lender's agents and attorneys, including appeals. Lender shall be entitled to sue and recover judgment as aforesaid either before, after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of this Mortgage and the right of Lender to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any taking, possession or foreclosure sale hereunder or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the terms of this Mortgage or the foreclosure of the lien hereof. Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 18 19 In case of a foreclosure sale of any of the Mortgaged Property and of the application of the proceeds of sale to the payment of the debt hereby secured, Lender shall be entitled to enforce payment of and to receive all amounts then remaining due and unpaid upon the Note and Lender shall be entitled to recover judgment for any portion of the debt remaining unpaid, with interest. The Borrower agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that no recovery of any such judgment by Lender and no attachment or levy of any execution upon any such judgment upon any of the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property shall in any manner or to any extent affect the lien of this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any lien, rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder, but such lien, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before. Any moneys thus collected by Lender or received by Lender under this Paragraph 2.10 shall be applied as provided in the Note. 2.11 Delay or Omission - No Waiver. No delay or omission of Lender or of any holder of the Note to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Mortgage to Lender may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Lender. 2.12 No Waiver of One Default to Affect Another, etc. No waiver of any default hereunder shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent or any other then existing default or shall impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent thereon. If Lender (a) grants forbearance of an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby, (b) takes other or additional security for the payment thereof, (c) waives or does not exercise any right granted herein or in the Note, (d) releases any part of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or otherwise changes any of the terms of the Note or Mortgage, (e) consents to the filing of any map, plat or replat thereof, (f) consents to the granting of any easement thereon or (g) makes or consents to any agreement subordinating the lien or change hereof, any such act or omission shall not release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under the Note, Mortgage or otherwise of the Borrower or any subsequent purchaser of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any maker, general partner, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor; nor shall any such act or omission preclude Lender from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any other default then made or of any subsequent default, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Lender, shall the lien of this Mortgage be altered thereby. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, Lender without notice to any person or corporation, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Mortgaged Property or the indebtedness secured hereby or with reference to any of the terms or conditions hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any of the liabilities or undertakings hereunder. 2.13 Discontinuance of Proceedings - Position of Parties, Restored. In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to Lender, then and in every such case the Borrower and Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 19 20 Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and all rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken. 2.14 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Lender by this Mortgage is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. ARTICLE THREE ADDITIONAL COVENANTS 3.01 Statutory Liens. The Borrower will pay or cause to be paid or bonded off the Mortgaged Property from time to time, within thirty (30) days of filing, all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in or permit the creation of a lien on the Mortgaged Property, whether paramount or subordinate to this Mortgage or any part thereof or on the revenues, rents, issues, income and profits arising therefrom and in general will do or cause to be done everything necessary so that the first lien of this Mortgage shall be fully preserved, at the cost of the Borrower, without expense to Lender. 3.02 Security Agreement and Financing Statements. The Borrower (as Debtor) hereby grants to the Lender (as Creditor and Secured Party) a security interest in all fixtures, machinery, appliances, equipment, furniture and personal property of every nature whatsoever constituting part of the Mortgaged Property, together with the following: (a) All personal property and fixtures, acquired for or used in connection with the Mortgaged Property; (b) All lease, rental, sale and reservation agreements covering any of the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, any revenue derived from the rental of any portion of the Mortgaged Property; (c) All security deposits, down payments, and other payments with respect to the sale or rental of any of the Mortgaged Property; (d) All income and profit of every kind from the Mortgaged Property; (e) All construction, marketing, management, engineering and architectural contracts and all other contracts relating to the Mortgaged Property; (f) All books and records relating to the Mortgaged Property; (g) All plans and specifications for the construction of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property; (h) All options and agreements with respect to additional real property for use or development in connection with the Mortgaged Property; Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 20 21 (i) All materials acquired for use in construction and equipping of the Mortgaged Property; (j) All insurance and condemnation proceeds from the Mortgaged Property; (k) All equipment, fixtures, inventory, accounts, general intangibles, documents and instruments with respect to the Mortgaged Property, all as defined in the Florida Uniform Commercial Code; (l) All proceeds of any of the above collateral; (m) All governmental, administrative and private permits, licenses, approvals and agreements relating to the Mortgaged Property; (n) All books, records and contracts relating to the Mortgaged Property, and of the plans and specifications and working drawings for the construction of improvements to the Mortgaged Property. The Borrower shall execute any and all such documents, including without limitation Financing Statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located, as the Lender may request, to preserve and maintain the priority of the lien created hereby on property which may be deemed personal property or fixtures, and shall pay to the Lender on demand any expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the preparation, execution and filing of any such documents. The Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers the Lender to execute and file, on the Borrower's behalf, all Financing Statements and refilings and continuations thereof as the Lender deems necessary or advisable to create, preserve and protect said lien. When and if the Borrower and the Lender shall respectively become the Debtor and Secured Party in any Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statement affecting the Mortgaged Property, this Mortgage shall be deemed a security agreement as defined in said Uniform Commercial Code and the remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the agreements herein contained shall be (i) as prescribed herein, or (ii) by general law, or (iii) as to such part of the security which is also reflected in said Financing Statement by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted and specified in the Uniform Commercial Code, all at the Lender's sole election. The Borrower and the Lender agree that the filing of a Financing Statement in the records normally having to do with personal property shall never be construed as in anywise derogating from or impairing the express declaration and intention of the parties, hereto, hereinabove stated, that everything used in connection with the production of income from the Mortgaged Property and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Mortgage is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable, shall be regarded as part of the real estate encumbered by this Mortgage irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain equipment items capable of being thus identified in a recital contained herein or in any list filed with the Lender, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such Financing Statement so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such Financing Statement of (1) rights in or to the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy, (2) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (3) the Borrower's interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the mortgaged Mortgage and Security Agreement Page 21 22 property hereby, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall never be construed as in anywise altering any of the rights of the Lender as determined by this instrument or impugning the priority of the Lender's lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document, but such mention in the Financing Statement is declared to be for the protection of the Lander in the event any court or judge shall at any time hold with respect to (1), (2) and (3) that notice of the Lender's priority of interest to be effective against a particular class of persons, including but not limited to the federal government and any subdivisions or entity of the federal government, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records. 3.03 Further Liens. Borrower covenants that the Mortgaged Property shall not be further encumbered by the lien of any other mortgage or other burden without the prior written consent of Lender herein which consent may be withheld in Lender's sole discretion. Any further encumbrance made without written consent of Lender may be deemed an Event of Default, and all rights and remedies of Lender provided herein may be utilized by Lender herein. 3.04 Transfer of Mortgaged Property. If all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein is sold or transferred by Borrower (or any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property) without Lender's prior written consent, Lender may, at Lender's option, and without notice to Borrower, declare all sums secured by this Mortgage to be immediately due and payable. The sale or transfer of any legal or beneficial interest in Borrower on or after the date of this Mortgage shall constitute a transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property for purposes of this paragraph. 3.05 Leases and Purchase Agreements. Borrower hereby represents that there are no leases or agreements to lease all or any part of the Mortgaged Property in effect. Borrower agrees not to enter into any leases or agreements to lease all or part of the Mortgage Property without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower hereby represents that there are no other leases and that there are no purchase agreements to sell all or any part of the Mortgaged Property. 3.06 Future Advances.
