In the case of a judicial proceeding, Grantee may proceed to final judgment and execution for the amount owed as of the date of the judgment, together with all costs of suit, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and interest on the judgment at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of the judgment until paid.

One or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish or exhaust the power unless the Secured Indebtedness is paid in full and all other obligations under this Security Deed are fully performed or the entire Property is sold. At any such sale, Grantee, its agents, representatives, successors, or assigns may bid for and acquire, as purchaser, the Property or any part thereof and may at its option credit bid by reducing the Secured Indebtedness by the amount bid at the sale.

(f) Deficiency Judgment. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents or by Applicable Law, Grantee may sue for and obtain a judgment for any deficiency remaining on the Debt after applying all amounts received by Grantee in furtherance of the exercise of its rights to enforce this Security Deed.
(g) UCC Foreclosure and Other Rights. With respect to any Personal Property, Grantee may exercise all rights, remedies, and powers accruing to Grantee under the Loan Documents, the UCC, or any other remedy available at law or in equity. In furtherance thereof, Grantee may take possession of any Property and take such measures as Grantee deems necessary for the care, protection, and preservation of such Property. Grantee shall have the right to require Grantor, at its sole expense, to assemble any Property and make it available to Grantee at such time and place as Grantee may direct. In exercising the right to sell any Personal Property pursuant to the UCC, Grantor hereby agrees that ten (10) days’ prior written notice of such action shall constitute reasonable advance notice to Grantor.
(h) Appointment of Receiver. Grantee may apply for the appointment of a receiver of the Rents, or the Property, or both, without notice to Grantor. Grantee shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver as a matter of right, without consideration of the value of the Property securing the Debt, or the solvency of any Person liable for the payment of such amounts. Grantor hereby consents to such appointment, whether during the pendency of a foreclosure proceeding or otherwise, and waives notice of any application therefor, unless notice is expressly required by Applicable Law.
(i) Right to Sue. Grantee may, from time to time, take any legal action permitted by Applicable Law to recover any sums due under the Loan Documents, without regard to whether the Loan has been accelerated, or whether foreclosure and any other enforcement action has been commenced. Grantee may exercise this right without prejudicing Grantee’s right to concurrently take any other enforcement action, including, without limitation, foreclosure.
(j) No Obligation to Marshal Assets. In exercising its rights and remedies under this Security Deed, Grantee shall have no obligation to marshal assets or to realize upon all of the Property. Grantor hereby waives any right to have any of the Property marshaled in connection with any sale or other exercise of Grantee’s rights, remedies, and powers hereunder.

Section 9.03 Omnibus Provisions Pertaining to Grantee’s Rights and Remedies.
(a) Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers, and remedies of Grantee hereunder are separate, distinct, and cumulative with all other rights, powers, and remedies of Grantee in the other Loan Documents, at law, or in equity, each of which may be exercised independently, concurrently, and successively in Grantee’s sole discretion. Grantee’s election of any right, power, or remedy shall not deemed exclusive of any other and shall not bar or limit the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy.
(b) No Waiver. No delay or failure by Grantee to accelerate the Loan or exercise any right, power, or remedy shall be deemed a waiver by Grantee of, or estop Grantee from, the future exercise thereof. No partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy shall preclude the further exercise thereof. Notice or demand given to Grantor in any instance shall not entitle Grantor to notice or demand in any other instance, except as expressly required by the Loan Documents or by Applicable Law. Grantee may release security for the Loan, may release any party liable therefor, may grant extensions and forbearances, may accept partial or past due amounts, and may apply any sums or other security held by Grantee to the repayment of the Loan, in each case without prejudice to Grantee and without such action being deemed an accord and satisfaction or a reinstatement of the Loan.
(c) Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Grantee commences the enforcement of any right, power, or remedy, whether afforded under the Loan Documents or otherwise and such enforcement is then discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case, Grantee shall be restored to its former positions and rights hereunder without waiver of any Event of Default and without novation, and all rights, powers, and remedies of Grantee shall continue as if no such enforcement had been commenced.
(d) Reimbursement for Enforcement Costs. Grantor shall reimburse Grantee immediately upon demand for all costs, fees, and expenses (including, without limitation, loan servicing fees and [reasonable] attorney fees) incurred by Grantee in connection with any enforcement action taken in accordance with this Article. All sums so incurred shall be added to the Debt and shall be secured by this Security Deed. The exercise by Grantor of any statutory rights of redemption shall be expressly conditioned on Grantor’s payment of the foregoing and on the payment and performance of all obligations required under any applicable redemption statute.
(e) Right of Setoff. In addition to, but not in limitation of, any rights, remedies, and powers granted to Grantee under the Loan Documents, at law, or in equity, Grantee is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Grantor or any other Person, such notice being hereby expressly waived, to apply to the Obligations owed Grantee under the Loan Documents any amounts then deposited in any escrow or reserve account, if any, or in Grantee’s possession, or over which Grantee has a security interest, including without limitation any Restoration Proceeds. Such right shall be exercisable by Grantee irrespective of whether Grantee has made any demand or declared any Obligations due and owing, and irrespective of whether the Obligations for which such amounts are secured have matured.
40 |
(f) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Property, together with any other sums that may be held by Grantee under this Security Deed, whether under the provisions of this Article or otherwise, shall be applied in the order Grantee determine in its sole discretion, except as otherwise expressly required by the Loan Documents, an order from a Georgia court of competent jurisdiction, or the requirements of Applicable Law.

Any party may change its address for purposes of this Section 10.01 by giving written notice as provided in this Section. Notices to counsel or parties other than Grantor, Grantee, their permitted successors and assigns, or the Loan’s servicer, whether now or hereafter designated by a party as entitled to notice hereunder, are for convenience only and any failure to notify such other parties shall not affect the validity of any notice if sent in accordance with this Section 10.01.
Section 10.02 Usury Saving Clause. At no time is Grantor required to pay interest on the Loan or on any other payment due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents at a rate which would subject Grantee either to civil or criminal liability as of result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted by law. If interest, or any amount deemed interest, whether paid or payable by Grantor exceeds or is deemed to exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law, then the amount to be paid shall be reduced by such amount so that the amount to be paid shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. Any payments made in excess of such maximum interest rate shall be deemed to have been payments of principal in inverse order of maturity and not of interest.
Section 10.03 No Joint Venture; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Grantor and Grantee intend that the relationship created hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents is solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents is intended to create, nor shall it be construed as creating, anything but a debtor-creditor relationship between Grantor and Grantee and no such relationship shall be drawn or implied from any of Grantee’s actions or from any prior relationship between the parties. No rights reserved or granted to Grantee under the Loan shall be deemed to confer those rights on anyone other than Grantee and its successors and assigns. Grantee shall have no obligation to Grantor or any other Person in respect of the Debt or the Property, or any part thereof, and no party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary entitled to enforce the performance or observance of any of the rights or obligations created in favor of Grantee under the Loan Documents.
Section 10.04 Grantee Approval. Wherever the Loan Documents give Grantee the right to approve or disapprove an action, grant or withhold its consent, waive a requirement, or make any decision, all such matters shall be determined by Grantee in its sole discretion, unless expressly provided otherwise in the Loan Documents. By approving or granting consent, accepting or waiving performance, making decisions, Grantee shall not be deemed to have warranted or affirmed the sufficiency, completeness, legality, or effectiveness of the subject matter or of Grantor’s compliance with Applicable Law or constitute an undertaking by Grantee to perform any Obligation of Grantor.
Section 10.05 Performance at Grantor’s Expense. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that Grantee reserves the right to collect from Grantor a fee based on a reasonable estimate of the administrative costs as determined by Grantee to review or process any request to: (a) modify or waive any provision of the Loan Documents; (b) release or substitute Property; or (c) obtain Grantee’s approval or consent whenever required by the Loan Documents including, without limitation, in connection with: (i) a Transfer request; (ii) matters affecting Leases, including amending existing Leases or entering into new Leases; (iii) making improvements or alterations to the Property; and (iv) entering into easements or other agreements affecting the Property. Grantor agrees to pay such fees, along with all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Grantee within Thirty (30) days of demand. Any amounts payable by Grantor hereunder shall become part of the Debt and be secured by this Security Deed.

Section 10.08 No Merger. In the event that Grantee’s interest under this Security Deed and title to the Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same Person or entity, this Security Deed shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Property for the amount secured hereby, unless expressly provided otherwise in writing executed by the Person in whom such interests, title, and estate are vested.
Section 10.09 After-Acquired Property. This Security Deed shall encumber, encompass, cover, and apply to and include any and all “after-acquired property” of Grantor located at and in any way associated with the use or operation of Property, and such after-acquired property shall be a part of the Property. This Section is intended to be and is an “after-acquired property clause” and shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the applicable laws of the state in which the Land and Improvements are located that authorize or govern after-acquired property clauses in security deeds.
Section 10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY GEORGIA LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RELATING TO THIS SECURITY DEED, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE DEBT, OR THE LOAN WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, EQUITY, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY GRANTOR, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. GRANTEE IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY GRANTOR.
