(a)           Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, declare the Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent the Indenture provides for automatic acceleration of the principal amount of the outstanding Secured Obligations upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default, such provisions with respect to automatic acceleration shall govern and control, without any further notice, demand or other action by the Secured Parties, Grantee, Trustee or any other Person.

 

(b)           [Reserved].

 

(c)           With respect to foreclosure, judicial or otherwise, with respect to any of the Property:

 

(i)       Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this Security Instrument under any applicable provision of Applicable Laws, in which case the Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner.    Grantee may personally, or by its agents or attorneys, or may direct the Trustee to, (A) enter into and upon and take possession of all or any part of the Property together with the books, records and accounts of the Grantor relating thereto and exclude the Grantor, its agents and servants wholly therefrom, (B) use, operate, manage and control the Property and conduct the bu siness thereof, (C) maintain and restore the Property, (D) make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals and replacements and such useful alterations thereto and thereon as the Grantee may deem advisable, (E) manage, lease and operate the Property and carry on the business thereof and exercise all rights and powers of the Grantor with respect thereto either in the name of the Grantor or otherwise or (F) collect and receive all Rents.  Subject to Section 10.1, the Grantee or Trustee shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such taking of possession, entry, removal or holding, operation or management except that any amounts so received by the Grantee shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of  the Indenture.

 

(ii)           Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by Applicable Laws, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument, conducting the sale as herein provided, and without declaring the whole Secured Obligations due, and provided that if sale is made because of an Event of Default as hereinabove mentioned, such sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the Indenture Notes and/or the Secured Obligations secured hereby, and it is agreed that such sale, if so made, shall not in any manner affect any other Secured Obligations secured hereby, but as to such other Secured Obligations this Security Instrument and the Liens creat ed hereby shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had been made under the provisions of this Section 9.1(c)(ii).  It is further agreed that several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any remaining Secured Obligations secured hereby, it being the purpose to provide for a foreclosure and sale of the Property for any matured portion of any of the Secured Obligations secured hereby or other items provided for herein without exhausting the power to foreclose and to sell the

Property for any remaining Secured Obligations secured hereby, whether matured at the time or subsequently maturing.

 

(iii)                  Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, sell the Property in whole or in part and in such parcels and order as Grantee or Trustee may determine, and the right of sale hereunder shall not be exhausted by one or more sales, but successive sales may be had until all of the Property has been legally sold.

 

(iv)                  Grantee and/or one or more Secured Parties may become the purchaser at any such sale if it is the highest bidder, and shall have the right, after paying or accounting for all costs of said sale or sales, to credit the amount of the bid upon the amount of the Secured Obligations owing, in lieu of cash payment.

 

(v)       It shall not be necessary for the Grantee or Trustee, or its successors or substitutes, to have constructively in its possession any part of the real or personal Property covered by this Security Instrument, and the title and right of possession of said Property shall pass to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale hereunder as fully as if the same had been actually present and delivered.  Likewise, on foreclosure of this Security Instrument whether by power of sale herein contained or otherwise, Grantor or any Person claiming any part of the Property by, through or under Grantor, shall not be entitled to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

 

(vi)                  The recitals and statements of fact contained in any notice or in any conveyance to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale hereunder shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of such facts, and all prerequisites and requirements necessary to the validity of any such sale shall be presumed to have been performed.

 

(vii)                  To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, any sale under the powers granted by this Security Instrument shall be a perpetual bar against Grantor, its heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives.

 

(viii)                  Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, sell for cash or upon credit the Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Grantor therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

(ix)                  In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less than all of Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a Lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority.

 

(d)           In the event any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Grantee or the holder of any part of the Secured Obligations, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, such sale shall not exhaust the power of sale hereunder, and Grantee or such holder shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made by the Trustee or any successor or substitute Trustee.

 

       (e)           In the event of a foreclosure under the powers granted by this Security Instrument, Grantor and all other Persons in possession of any part of the Property shall be deemed tenants at will of the purchaser at such foreclosure sale and shall be liable for a reasonable rental for

the use of the Property; and if any such tenants refuse to surrender possession of the Property upon demand, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain the statutory action of forcible entry and detainer and procure a writ of possession thereunder, and Grantor expressly waives all damages sustained by reason thereof.

 

(f)           Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein or in the Indenture Notes, the Indenture or in the other Note Documents.

 

(g)           Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, recover judgment on the Indenture Notes either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument or the other Note Documents.

 

(h)           Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, apply for and shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations and without regard for the solvency of any Grantor or Guarantor or any other guarantor or indemnitor under the Indenture or any other Person liable for the payment of the Secured Obligations.

 

(i)           The license granted to Grantor under Section 2.2 hereof shall automatically be revoked and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Grantee may enter into or upon the Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Grantor and its agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Grantor and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and Grantor agrees to surrender possession of the Property and of such books, records and accounts to Grantee upon demand, and thereupon Grantee may (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Grantee deems advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Grantor with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Grantor or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict Tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents of the Property and every part thereof; (v) require Grantor to pay monthly in advance to Grantee, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be occupied by Grantor; (vi) require Grantor to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Grantee or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Grantor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of the Secured Obligations, in such order, priority and proportions as Grantee shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other expenses in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Grantee and Secured Parties, and their respective counsel, agents and employees.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.1(i) hereof, no credit shall be given by Grantee for any sum or sums received from the rents, issues and profits of the Property until the money collected is actually received by Grantee at its principal office, or at such other place as Grantee shall designate in writing, and no such credit shall be given for any uncollected rents or other uncollected amounts or bills, nor shall such credit be given for any rents, issues and profi ts derived from the Property after foreclosure or other transfer of the Prop-

 

 

erty (or part thereof from which rents, issues and/or profits are derived pursuant to the Security Instrument or by agreement) to Grantee or any other third party.  Receipt of rents, issues and/or profits by Grantee shall not be deemed to constitute a pro-tanto payment of the indebtedness evidenced by, or arising under, this Security Instrument, the Indenture Notes, the Indenture or any of the other Note Documents, but shall be applied as provided in Section 9.2.

 

(j)           To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Grantee may, or may direct Trustee (or its successors and substitutes) to, exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon an uncured default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:  (i) the right to take possession of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Personal Property) or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Grantee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Personal Property); and (ii) request Grantor at its expense to assemble the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Personal Property) and make it available to Gran tee at a convenient place acceptable to Grantee.  Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Grantee or Trustee with respect to the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Personal Property) sent to Grantor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five (5) days prior to such action shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Grantor.

result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable.

Section 19.2      AUTHORIZATIONS TO GRANTEE.  Grantor authorizes Grantee, without notice or demand and without affecting their liability hereunder, from time to time to (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; (ii) take and hold other security for the payment of the Secured Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; (iii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, including, without limitation, a non-judicial sale permitted by the terms of this Security Instrument or the Indenture as Grantee in its discretion may determine; and (iv) release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or guarantors of any Secured Obligations.

from Third Party Borrower on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to Third Party Borrower’s financial condition without relying on Grantee therefor.  Grantor agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events or circumstances which Grantor considers material or which might in any way affect Grantor’s risks hereunder.  With respect to information or material acquired in the normal course of Grantee’s relationship with Third Party Borrower, Grantor agrees that Grantee shall have no obligation to disclose such information or material to Grantor.

 

Section 19.4     GRANTOR’S WAIVERS.

 

(a)           Grantor waives any right to require Grantee to (A) proceed against any Person, including Third Party Borrower; (B) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral held from Third Party Borrower, any endorser or guarantor or any other person; (C) give notice of terms, time and place of any public or private sale of personal property or real property security held from Grantors; (D) pursue any other remedy in Grantee’s power; or (E) make any presentments, demands for performance, or give any notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any obligations or evidences of indebtedness held by Grantee as security, in connection with any obligations or evidences of indebtedness which constitute in whole or in part the indebte dness secured hereunder, or in connection with the creation of new or additional indebtedness.  Grantor agrees that, in case of an Event of Default and foreclosure, Grantee may enforce this Security Instrument against any or all interests encumbered by this Security Instrument in a single proceeding.

 

(b)           Grantor waives any defense arising by reason of (A) any disability or other defense of Third Party Borrower, any endorser or guarantor or any other Person; (B) the cessation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full of the indebtedness of Third Party Borrower, of the liability of any endorser or guarantor or any other Person; (C) the application by Third Party Borrower of the proceeds of any indebtedness for purposes other than the purpose represented by Third Party Borrower to Grantee or intended or understood by Grantee or Grantor; (D) any act or omission by Grantee which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of Third Party Borrower or of any indebtedness by operation of law or otherwise; (E) any modification to any secured indebtedness, and including, without limitation, the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of the indebtedness, or other change in the terms of the indebtedness or any part thereof, including an increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; and (F) all suretyship and guarantor’s defenses generally.

 

(c)           Grantor shall have no right of subrogation, and Grantor further waives any right to enforce any remedy which Grantee now has or may hereafter have against Third Party Borrower, any endorser or guarantor or any other Person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Grantee from Third Party Borrower or any other Person.

 

Section 19.5       FURTHER EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS.  Grantor waives all rights and defenses that the Grantor may have because the Third Party Borrower’s debt is secured by real property.  This means, among other things:

 

(a)           The Grantee may foreclose against the Grantor’s interests without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Third Party Borrower;

 

        (b)           If the Grantee forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Third Party Borrower: (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) the Grantee may foreclose against the Grantor’s interests even if the Grantee, by foreclosing on the Third Party Borrower’s interests, has destroyed any right the Grantor may have to collect from the Third Party Borrower.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Grantor may have because the Third Party Borrower’s debt is secured by the Third Party Borrower’s interest in real property.
