Safeguarding or Completion of Improvements; Additional Future Advances.  To the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated, Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the duty, to enter into possession of the Mortgaged Property and perform or engage others to perform any and all work and labor, supply materials and incur any costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, necessary to protect, secure or complete the Improvements substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications therefor (the “Plans and Specifications”) with such changes in the Plans and Specifications as Mortgagee may deem desirable and employ watchmen to protect the Mortgaged Property.  If Mortgagee undertakes any, some or all of its rights in the first sentence of this paragraph, Mortgagor agrees that on account thereof:  (A) Mortgagee may continue to make future advances of the un-advanced portion of the principal of the Note, even if such advances are not in accordance  with the Loan Agreement but are  in such manner and for such purposes as Mortgagee deems advisable; and  (B) Mortgagee may make additional future advances (the “Additional Future Advances”) in such manner and for such purposes as Mortgagee deems advisable, even if such advances are in excess of the original principal amount of the Note. The Additional Future Advances shall bear interest at the Default Rate from date of disbursement and the Additional Future Advances and interest thereon shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the Note and this Mortgage.  Mortgagor agrees that all of the advances made under the provisions of the second sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to have been advanced by Mortgagee to Mortgagor and all such advances shall be a portion of the Indebtedness and shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage.  For the purpose of exercising its rights under the first sentence of this paragraph, Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints Mortgagee its true and lawful Attorney-in-Fact with full power of substitution and empowers said attorney as follows: to use any funds of Mortgagor, including any balance of Mortgagor’s funds which may be held in escrow and any funds which Mortgagee has the right to advance as provided in the second sentence of this paragraph, on account of any, some of or all of the rights of Mortgagee under the first sentence of this paragraph; to make such additions and changes and corrections in the Plans and Specifications as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Improvements in substantially the  manner contemplated by the Plans and Specifications; to employ such attorneys, contractors, sub-contractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for the exercise of said rights by Mortgagee; to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are, may, or appear to be liens against the Mortgaged Property, or the payment of which may be necessary or desirable in the opinion of Mortgagee for the completion of the work, the protection of the Improvements or the clearance of title, without inquiring into the accuracy or validity of any thereof; to execute in the name of Mortgagor all applications and certificates which may be required by any construction contract; and with respect to the  construction of the Improvements to do any and every act which Mortgagor may do in its own behalf.  It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest which cannot be revoked. Said Attorney-in-Fact shall also have power, but not the duty, to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the construction of the Improvements and to take such action and require such performance as it deems necessary.  Mortgagor hereby assigns and transfers to Mortgagee all sums advanced hereunder and all sums in escrow, subject to the condition that said sums, if any, be used in connection with any, some or all of the rights of Mortgagee set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph and provided however that this sentence shall in no way restrict the use or rights of Mortgagee in or of any other collateral (whether cash or otherwise) held by Mortgagee under any other agreements with Mortgagor or others in conjunction with or as security for the Indebtedness.  The Event of Default giving rise to the rights of Mortgagee under this paragraph shall be a continuing Event of Default and even though Mortgagee has elected to exercise its rights under this paragraph, such an Event of Default and any other Events of Default thereafter occurring shall continue to exist and Mortgagee, at its option and without notice to Mortgagor, may at any time cease exercising its rights under this paragraph and may exercise any other remedy under this Mortgage by reason of such continuing Event of Default or Events of Default.

13.3     Future Advances.  This Mortgage is given to secure not only the existing Indebtedness, but also such Future Advances, whether such advances are obligatory or are to be made at the option of Mortgagee, or otherwise, as are made within twenty years from the date hereof, to the same extent as if such Future Advances were made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage.  The total amount of indebtedness that may be so secured may decrease or increase from time to time, but the total unpaid principal balance so secured at one time shall not exceed five (5) times the face amount of the Note, plus interest thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes, levies or insurance on the Mortgaged Property, or other monies expended to protect the security of Mortgagee, with interest on such disbursements.  Nothing contained herein shall in anyway be construed to obligate Mortgagee to make any future advances.

a.

b.

Financial records for Southeast Power Corporation and other subsidiaries as reasonably requested by Mortgagee; and

 

 

 

 

c.

Such other financial information or disclosure deemed necessary by Mortgagee from time to time.

13.5     Loan Agreement.  The loan evidenced by the Note and secured by this Mortgage is to be disbursed in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement.  Mortgagor agrees to fully, duly and promptly discharge each and every of its agreements contained in the Loan Agreement and comply with, abide by and perform all of terms and conditions thereof.  The Loan Agreement provides for and governs the method of disbursements of the principal sum evidenced by the Note and secured by this Mortgage as therein specified and contains various other agreements with respect to the loan transaction.  Any default under the provisions of the Loan Agreement shall be and constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the terms of this Mortgage.  Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Mortgagee may, at its option, cease making advances to Mortgagor under the Note and take such other action as it may deem necessary to protect its security.  Nothing herein or in the Loan Agreement shall obligate Mortgagee to construct or equip any Improvements on the Mortgaged Property or  pay for the construction or equipage of any such Improvements.  Mortgagee shall not be required to determine  whether the loan proceeds disbursed to the Mortgagor are applied in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement or any other document pertaining to the loan hereby secured.

13.6     Rights of Mortgagor Under Prior or Subordinate Mortgages and Rights of Mortgagee.  (A) Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees  (i) to promptly observe and perform all of the covenants and conditions contained in any prior or subordinate mortgage, whether a Permitted Encumbrance or not, on the Mortgaged Property, and which are required to be observed or performed by Mortgagor and to do all things necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired its rights thereunder;  (ii) to promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any default by the Mortgagor in the performance and the observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Mortgagor to be performed or observed under such prior or subordinate mortgage or of the occurrence of any event which, regardless of the lapse of time, would constitute a default under such prior or subordinate mortgage and promptly to cause a copy of each such notice given by the mortgagee thereunder to the Mortgagor to be delivered to Mortgagee;  (B) In the event Mortgagor fails to make any payment required under such prior or subordinate mortgage or to do any act set forth in the preceding sub-paragraph herein provided, then Mortgagee may, but without obligation so to do, and without notice to or demand upon Mortgagor, and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation hereof, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect its interest under this Mortgage.  Mortgagee’s rights hereunder shall specifically include, but without limitation thereto, the right to pay any and all payments of interest and principal, insurance premiums, taxes and assessments and other sums due or to become due under such prior or subordinate mortgage and reimbursement by Mortgagor for such payments shall be due Mortgagee immediately and without demand and such payments shall be secured by the Mortgage;  (C) In the event Mortgagor fails to perform any of the terms, covenants and such conditions required to be performed or observed by Mortgagor under such prior or subordinate mortgage, then Mortgagee may, but without obligation so to do, and without notice or demand upon Mortgagor and without relieving Mortgagor from any obligation hereof, take any action Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any such default by Mortgagor.  Upon receipt by Mortgagee from Mortgagor of any written notice of default by Mortgagor under such prior or subordinate mortgage, Mortgagee may rely thereon and take any action it deems necessary to cure such default even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof may be questioned or denied by the Mortgagor or by any party on behalf of the Mortgagor.  Mortgagor hereby expressly grants to Mortgagee, and agrees that Mortgagee shall have, the absolute and immediate right to enter upon the Land or any part thereof to such extent and as often as the Mortgagee in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable in order to prevent or cure any such default by the Mortgagor.  Mortgagee may pay and expend such sums of money as Mortgagee in its sole discretion deems necessary for any such purpose, may pay expenses, employ counsel and pay his reasonable attorney’s fees.  All costs, charges and expenses so incurred or paid by Mortgagee shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall become due and payable immediately, whether or not there be  notice, demand, attempt to collect or suit pending. The amount so incurred or paid by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred until paid by Mortgagor, shall be added to the indebtedness secured by the lien of this Mortgage to the same extent as if paid or expended on the date hereof;  (D) Mortgagor agrees that it will not surrender any of its rights under such prior or subordinate mortgage and will not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee consent to any modification, change or any alteration or amendment of such prior or subordinate mortgage or the obligations secured thereby, either orally or in writing, and no release or forbearance of any of Mortgagor’s obligations under such prior or subordinate mortgage whether pursuant to such prior or subordinate mortgage or otherwise, shall release Mortgagor from any of its obligations under this Mortgage;  (E) Any default by Mortgagor or any Event of Default under any prior or subordinate mortgage to which this Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property may be subject shall constitute an Event of Default under this Mortgage;  (F) The failure of Mortgagor to repay Mortgagee for any sums advanced by Mortgagee under this Paragraph within ten (10) days after demand shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

13.7     Notice and Cure Period.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Loan Agreement, the Note, or the Loan Documents to the contrary, an event of default shall not be deemed to have occurred hereunder as to a non-monetary provision of the Loan Agreement unless and until the Borrower shall fail to cure and remedy said non-monetary breach or default within thirty (30) days after the Borrower has received written notice thereof from the Bank, and an even of default shall not be deemed to have occurred hereunder as to a monetary provision of the Loan Agreement unless and until the Borrower shall fail to cure and remedy said monetary breach or default within ten (10) days after the Borrower has received written notice thereof from the Bank.

13.8     Waiver of Right to Jury Trial.  MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORTGAGE INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY POST JUDGEMENT ACTIONS AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY.  THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE MORTGAGEE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
