Except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, Grantor expressly waives any notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or any other notice, presentment, protest, demand or action of any kind or nature whatsoever.

(b)           Enter upon the Mortgaged Property and take exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records, and accounts relating thereto without notice and without being guilty of trespass. If Grantor remains in possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and without Beneficiary’s prior written consent thereto, Beneficiary may, without notice to Grantor, invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess Grantor, including specifically one or more actions for forcible entry and detainer, trespass to try title, and writ of restitution. Nothing contained in the foregoing sentence shall, however, be construed to impose any greater obligation or any prerequisites to acquiring possession of the Mortgaged Property after a Default than would have existed in the absence of such sentence.

(c)           Hold, lease, manage, operate, or otherwise use or permit the use of the Mortgaged Property, either itself or by other persons, firms or entities, in such manner, for such time and upon such other terms as Beneficiary may deem to be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs thereto and taking any and all other action with reference thereto, from time to time, as Beneficiary shall deem reasonably necessary for the purpose of maintaining the Mortgaged Property in its then current condition but not making any material capital improvements thereto) and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by the Trustee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.8 of this Deed of Trust.

(d)          Request the Trustee to proceed with foreclosure. Upon the request, the Trustee is authorized and empowered, and it shall be his special duty, to sell or offer for sale the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property shall be sold at public auction to the highest bidder for cash or other consideration approved by Beneficiary. The Mortgaged Property may be sold or offered for sale in such order and in such portions or parcels as Beneficiary may determine whether or not such portions or parcels are contiguous, with or without having first taken possession of same, and without the necessity of having any Personalty present at such sale. The sale shall be conducted at the county courthouse in the county where the Land is located, at the area of the county courthouse designated by the Commissioner’s Court of such county as the area in which foreclosure sales are to take place, as evidenced by the designation recorded in the real property records of such county and, if no area is so designated, then in the area designated in the Trustee’s, or any substitute Trustee’s, notice of sale as being the area for such foreclosure sale. If the Land, or any portion thereof to be sold, is located in more than one county, the sale may occur at the designated area of the county courthouse in any county in which the Land is located. The foreclosure sale shall take place on the first Tuesday of any month between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The notice of sale must be given at least twenty-one (21) days before the date of the sale. The notice of sale must include a statement of the earliest time at which the sale will occur, and the sale must begin at that time or not later than three (3) hours after that time. The notice of the sale must be given:

(i)                by posting or causing to be posted at the courthouse door of each county in which the Land (or any portion to be sold) is located a written or printed notice designating the county in which the Mortgaged Property will be sold;

(ii)               by filing in the office of the county clerk of each county in which the Land (or any portion to be sold) is located a copy of the notice;

(iii)             by certified mail on each debtor who, according to the records of Beneficiary or other holder of the Indebtedness, is obligated to pay the Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust;

(iv)              the Trustee need not have the Mortgaged Property physically present or have constructive possession of the Mortgaged Property; provided that, the title to and right of possession of any such Mortgaged Property shall pass to the purchaser thereof as completely as if the same had been actually present and delivered to purchaser at such sale;

 9 

 

 

(v)               each conveyance instrument executed by the Trustee shall contain a special warranty of title binding upon Grantor;

(vi)              each and every recital contained in any conveyance instrument executed by the Trustee shall constitute prima facie evidence of the truth and accuracy of the matters recited therein including, without limitation, appointment of any successor Trustee hereunder, nonpayment of the Indebtedness, notice, filing, posting, and conduct of the sale in the manner provided herein and by law;

(vii)            all prerequisites to the validity of the sale shall be rebuttably presumed to have been performed;

(viii)           the receipt from the Trustee, or such other party or officer conducting the sale, shall be sufficient to discharge the purchaser for his purchase money, and no purchaser or his assigns or personal representatives, shall thereafter be obligated to see to the application of such purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication, or non-application thereof;

(ix)              Grantor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold, and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor and against all other persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof by, through or under Grantor; and

(x)              Beneficiary may be a purchaser at any such sale and may credit the bid against the Indebtedness.

Notice may be served, given, filed, posted, or mailed by the Trustee or by any person acting for the Trustee. The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of service. Beneficiary may, at its option, accomplish all or any of the aforesaid in the manner permitted or required under (i) Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code, as amended and restated, relating to the sale of real property under a power of sale or, (ii) with respect to the Personalty sold separately from the rest of the Mortgaged Property, Chapter 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code relating to the sale of collateral after default by a debtor or by any other amendment or successor to either statute. Nothing contained in this Section 6.1(d) shall be construed to limit in any way the Trustee’s rights to sell the Personalty by private sale if, and to the extent that, such private sale is permitted under the laws of the State of Texas or by public or private sale after entry of a judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction ordering same. At any sale of the Mortgaged Property whether made under the power of sale contained in this Deed of Trust, Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code, Chapter 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, any other Legal Requirement, or by virtue of any judicial proceedings or any other legal right, remedy, or recourse.

(e)           Beneficiary or the Trustee may make application to a court of competent jurisdiction, as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Indebtedness, for appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to sell, rent, maintain, and otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply the Rents in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.8 in this Deed of Trust.

 10 

 

 

(f)           Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, in the event Beneficiary is the successful bidder at a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, it shall have the right to cancel any insurance policy covering the property foreclosed upon and collect any unearned premiums from said policy.

(g)           Exercise any and all other rights, remedies, and recourses granted under the Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute, or otherwise.

6.2   Divestment of Rights, Tenant at Sufferance. After sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, Grantor shall be divested of any and all interest and claim thereto, including any interest or claim to all insurance policies, bonds, loan commitments, contracts, and other intangible property covered by this Deed of Trust. Additionally, with respect to the Land, Improvements, Fixtures, Personalty and the Ground Lease, after a sale of all or any portion thereof, Grantor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser of the same, and said purchaser shall be entitled to immediate possession thereof, and if Grantor shall fail to vacate the Mortgaged Property immediately, said purchaser may and shall have the right, without further notice to Grantor, to go into any justice court in any precinct or county in which the Land and Improvements are located and file an action in forcible entry and detainer or forcible detainer, which action shall lie against Grantor or its assigns or legal representatives as a tenant at sufferance.

6.3   Separate Sales. If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may sell all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property together or in lots or parcels and in such manner and order as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may elect. The sale or sales by the Trustee of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property shall not exhaust the power of sale granted in this Deed of Trust, and the Trustee is specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales under such power until the whole of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold; and if the proceeds of such sale or sales of less than the whole of such Mortgaged Property shall be less than the aggregate of the Indebtedness and the expense of executing this trust, this Deed of Trust and the lien, security interest and assignment hereof shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Mortgaged Property just as though no sale or sales had been made; provided that, Grantor shall never have any right to require the sale or sales of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property, but Beneficiary shall have the right, at its sole election, to request the Trustee to sell less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property. As among the various counties in which items of the Mortgaged Property may be situated, sales in such counties may be conducted in any order that the Trustee may deem expedient; and any one or more of such sales may be conducted in the same month, or in successive or different months, as the Trustee may deem expedient. If Default occurs as to nonpayment of part of the Indebtedness, Beneficiary shall have the option to proceed as if under a full foreclosure, conducting the sale as herein provided without declaring the entire Indebtedness due, and if sale is made because of default of an installment, or a part of an installment, such sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the Term Note and the Indebtedness; and such sale, if so made, shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the Indebtedness but as to such unmatured part, this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect as though no sale had been made under the provisions of this Deed of Trust. Any number of sales may be made under this Deed of Trust without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of the Indebtedness secured hereby.

6.4   Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent, and Nonexclusive. The Trustee and Beneficiary shall have all rights, remedies, and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and available at law or equity (including specifically those granted by the Texas Business and Commerce Code, as amended but taking into account the provisions of the Credit Agreement) and same (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (b) may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Term Note, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them at the sole discretion of Beneficiary; (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Grantor that the exercise or failure to exercise any of the same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse; and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.

 11 

 

 

6.5   Release of and Resort to Collateral. Any part of the Mortgaged Property may be released by Beneficiary in accordance with the Credit Agreement without affecting, subordinating, or releasing the lien, security interest, and assignment hereof against the remainder of the Mortgaged Property. The lien, security interest, and other rights granted hereby shall not affect or be affected by any other security taken for the Indebtedness or any part thereof. The taking of additional security or the rearrangement, extension, or renewal of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, shall not release or impair the lien, security interest, and other rights granted hereby or affect the liability of any endorser, guarantor, or surety or improve the right of any permitted junior lienholder; and this Deed of Trust, as well as any instrument given to secure any rearrangement, renewal, or extension of the Indebtedness secured hereby, or any part thereof, shall be and remain a first and prior lien, except as otherwise provided herein, on all of the Mortgaged Property not expressly released until the Indebtedness is completely paid.

6.6   Waiver of Redemption, Notice, and Marshaling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefits that might accrue to Grantor by any present or future laws exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy, or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption, or extension of time for payment, (b) except as may be provided for under the terms hereof or the Credit Agreement, all notices of any Default or of Beneficiary’s or the Trustee’s election to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy, or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents, (c) any right to appraisal or marshaling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation, (d) the exemption of homestead, and (e) the administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce, or affect the right of Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust to sell the Mortgaged Property for the collection of the Indebtedness secured hereby (without any prior or different resort for collection) or the right of Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust, to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other person and claimant whatever (only reasonable expenses of such sale being first deducted).

6.7   Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Beneficiary shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy, or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Beneficiary shall have the unqualified right to do so, and, in such event, Grantor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property, and otherwise and the rights, remedies, recourses, and power of Beneficiary shall continue as if same had never been invoked.

6.8   Application of Proceeds, Deficiency Obligation. The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other income generated by the holding, leasing, operating, or other use of, the Mortgaged Property shall be applied by Beneficiary (or the receiver, if one is appointed) to the extent that funds are so available therefrom in accordance with the Credit Agreement with any surplus to be paid, at the option of Beneficiary to the payment of any indebtedness or obligation secured by a subordinate deed of trust or security interest on the Mortgaged Property or to Grantor. Any other party liable on the Indebtedness shall be liable for any deficiency remaining in the Indebtedness subsequent to the sale referenced in this Section 6.8.

6.9   Purchase by Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by Law, Beneficiary shall have the right to become the purchaser at the sale of the Mortgaged Property under this Deed of Trust and shall have the right to be credited on the amount of its bid for the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof being sold, all or any portion of the Indebtedness due and owing as of the date of such sale.

 

 12 

 

6.10  Disaffirmation of Contracts. To the extent permitted by Law, the purchaser at any Trustee’s or foreclosure sale hereunder may disaffirm any easement granted or rental, lease, or other contract made in violation of any provision of this Deed of Trust or the Credit Agreement and may take immediate possession of the Mortgaged Property free from, and despite the terms of, such grant of easement or rental, lease, or other contract. With respect to any Lease of real property submitted to and approved by Beneficiary, Beneficiary agrees that the holding of a foreclosure sale or conveyance in lieu thereof by it shall not terminate such Lease nor the rights and obligations of a lessee thereunder, so long as such lessee continues to perform all of its obligations thereunder, including, without limitation, the payment of all rental payments thereunder.

6.11  Certain Waivers Relating to Fair Market Value and Deficiencies.

(a)           If the Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale pursuant to the terms of this Deed of Trust and the sales price results in a deficiency, Grantor knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waives Grantor’s right to request a judicial finding of the fair market value of the real property as of the date of the foreclosure sale as a defense or set-off against any deficiency. Without limiting the foregoing, notwithstanding the provisions of §§ 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as amended from time to time) or any other applicable Law, and to the extent permitted by Law, Grantor agrees that Beneficiary shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Grantor and any other Loan Party and Parent Guarantor equal to the difference between the Obligations and the amount for which the Mortgaged Property was sold pursuant to a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale. Grantor expressly recognizes that this Section 6.11 constitutes a waiver of the above-cited provisions of the Texas Property Code and any other applicable Law which would otherwise permit Grantor independently (even absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property as of the date of foreclosure and offset against any deficiency the amount by which the foreclosure sale price is determined to be less than such fair market value. Grantor further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates an irrebuttable presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property for purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Grantor or any other Loan Party or Parent Guarantor against whom recovery of a deficiency is sought.  The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing herein shall prevent Beneficiary from pursuing its remedies directly against any Grantor or any other Loan Party and Parent Guarantor prior to any foreclosure.  Alternatively, in the event the waiver provided for herein is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, then notwithstanding the provisions of §§ 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as amended from time to time) or any other applicable Law, and to the extent permitted by Law, Grantor agrees that Beneficiary shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Grantor and each other Loan Party and Parent Guarantor equal to the difference between the Obligations and the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property. The provisions of Section 6.11(b) shall be the basis for the finder of fact’s determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings governed by §§ 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as amended from time to time) or any other applicable Law.

(b)          This Section 6.11(b) shall apply in the event an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction determines that the waiver by Grantor set out in Section 6.11(a) is unenforceable. Grantor stipulates and agrees that for purposes of determining the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof), as such term is used in Section 51.003 of the Texas Property Code (as amended from time to time) or any other applicable Law, which is sold at a non-judicial foreclosure sale pursuant to the terms of any Deed of Trust or Mortgage (and in accordance with Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code) or other applicable Law, the following factors shall be used to determine such Mortgaged Property’s fair market value, for such purposes:

 13 

 

 

(i)                 the Mortgaged Property is to be valued “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” and there shall be no assumption of restoration of or refurbishment of improvements, if any, after the date of the foreclosure;

(ii)               there shall be an assumption that the purchaser desires to resell the Mortgaged Property for an all cash sales price promptly (but no later than 12 months) after the foreclosure sale;

(iii)              any re-sale shall be for cash only, without financing by the seller;

(iv)              an offset to the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property, as determined hereunder, shall be made by deducting from such value the reasonable estimated closing costs relating to the sale of the Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to, brokerage commissions, title policy expenses, tax prorations, escrow fees, and other common charges which are incurred by a seller of property; and

(v)               after consideration of the factors required by Law and those required above, an additional discount factor shall be calculated based upon the estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Mortgaged Property for the estimated time it will take to effectuate a sale of the Mortgaged Property including, without limitation, utility expenses, taxes and assessments (to the extent not accounted for in subclause (iv) above) so that the “fair market value” as so determined is discounted to be as of the date of the foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property.

SECTION 7.          CONDEMNATIONVI.. Except as may be permitted under the Credit Agreement, if the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, shall be condemned or otherwise taken for public or quasi-public use under the power of eminent domain, or be transferred in lieu thereof, all damages or other amounts awarded for the taking, or injury to, the Mortgaged Property shall be paid to Beneficiary, and Beneficiary shall apply and disburse the proceeds against the Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 8.          SECURITY AGREEMENTVII..

8.1   Security Interest. This Deed of Trust shall be construed as a Deed of Trust on real property and it shall also constitute and serve as a security agreement on personal property within the meaning of, and shall constitute until the grant of this Deed of Trust shall terminate as provided in Section 2 hereof, a first and prior security interest under Chapter 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code (subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances) with respect to the Personalty and Fixtures. Grantor has granted, bargained, conveyed, assigned, transferred, and set over, and by these presents does grant, bargain, convey, assign, transfer, and set over unto Beneficiary a first and prior security interest (subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances) in and to all of Grantor’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Personalty and Fixtures to secure the full and timely payment of the Indebtedness and the full and timely performance and discharge of the Grantor’s obligations under this Deed of Trust.

8.2   Financing Statements. Grantor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it and its legal counsel, such financing statements and such further assurances as Beneficiary may, from time to time, consider reasonably necessary to create, perfect, and preserve the security interest herein granted, and Beneficiary may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed at such times and places as may be required or appropriate by law to so create, perfect, and preserve such security interest. Pursuant to the Texas Business and Commerce Code, this Deed of Trust shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing from the date of its filing for record covering the Fixtures and Personalty. The addresses of Grantor, as Debtor, and Beneficiary, as Secured Party, are set forth on the cover page of this Deed of Trust.

 14 

 

 

8.3   Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. The Trustee and Beneficiary shall have all the rights, remedies, and recourses with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, the Ground Lease and Rents afforded a secured party by the Texas Business and Commerce Code in addition to, and not in limitation of, the other rights, remedies and recourses afforded by the Loan Documents and at law or in equity.

8.4   No Obligation of the Trustee or Beneficiary. The assignment and security interest herein granted shall not be construed to (a) deem or constitute the Trustee or Beneficiary, as trustees in possession of the Mortgaged Property, (b) obligate the Trustee or Beneficiary to operate or attempt to operate the Mortgaged Property or (c) obligate the Trustee or Beneficiary to take any action, incur any expenses, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty, or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.

SECTION 9.          CONCERNING THE TRUSTEEVIII..

9.1   No Liability. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error or judgment or act done by the Trustee or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever other than his own gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law or fraud. The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any damages resulting from entry on the Mortgaged Property by the Trustee or anyone acting by virtue of the powers granted the Trustee under this Deed of Trust, or for debts contracted or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Mortgaged Property. The Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by him hereunder and believed by him in good faith to be genuine. The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by him in the performance of the Trustee’s duties under this Deed of Trust and to reasonable compensation for services rendered under this Deed of Trust. Grantor will, from time to time, reimburse the Trustee for and save and hold the Trustee harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, damage and expense whatsoever incurred by him in the performance of the Trustee’s duties other than those arising from his own gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of Law or fraud.

9.2   Retention of Monies. All monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other monies (except to the extent required by law), and the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any monies received hereunder.

9.3   Successor Trustee. The Trustee may resign by the giving of notice of such resignation in writing to Beneficiary. If the Trustee shall die, resign, or become disqualified from acting in the execution of this Deed of Trust or shall fail or refuse to exercise the same when requested by Beneficiary so to do or if for any reason and without cause Beneficiary shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee to act instead of the original Trustee named herein, or any prior successor or substitute trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint a substitute trustee and, if preferred, several substitute trustees in succession who shall succeed to all the estate, rights, powers and duties of the aforenamed Trustee without other formality than designating the successor or substitute Trustee in writing.

9.4   Succession Instruments. Any new Trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or his or her predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as the Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, upon the written request of Beneficiary, or any acting successor trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee, upon the trust herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer, and deliver any of the property and monies held by the Trustee to the successor trustee so appointed.

 15 

 

 

9.5   Performance of Duties by Agents. The Trustee may authorize one or more parties to act on his behalf to perform any ministerial or other functions required of him hereunder, including, without limitation, the transmittal, posting and filing of any notices.

SECTION 10.        LEASEHOLD ESTATE.

10.1        Representations and Warranties. The Mortgaged Property is a leasehold estate and Grantor hereby warrants and represents as follows with respect to the Ground Lease:

(a)           The Ground Lease is in full force and effect, unmodified by any writing or otherwise, except as has been specifically disclosed to Beneficiary.

(b)          All rent, additional rent, and other charges reserved therein have been paid to the extent they are payable to the date hereof.

(c)           Grantor enjoys the quiet and peaceful possession of the property demised thereby.

(d)          Grantor is not in default under any of the terms of the Ground Lease, and, to the best of Grantor’s knowledge, there are no circumstances which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under the Ground Lease.

(e)          To the best of Grantor’s knowledge, Landlord is not in default under any of the terms or provisions thereof on the part of the Landlord to be observed or performed.

10.2        Covenants. Grantor further covenants and agrees as follows:

(a)          Grantor will promptly and faithfully observe, perform, and comply with all the terms, covenants, and provisions of the Ground Lease on Grantor’s part to be observed, performed, and complied with, at the times set forth in the Ground Lease if such failure would reasonably be expected to cause a termination or breach of the Ground Lease.

(b)          Grantor will not permit, suffer, or refrain from doing anything, as a result of which, there could be a default under or breach of any of the terms of the Ground Lease.

(c)           Grantor will not cancel, surrender, or modify, amend, or in any way alter or permit the alteration of any of the terms of the Ground Lease without Beneficiary’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d)           Grantor will give Beneficiary immediate notice of any default by any party to the Ground Lease and will promptly deliver to Beneficiary copies of (i) each notice of default and (ii) all other material notices, communications, plans, specifications, and other similar instruments received or delivered by Grantor in connection with the Ground Lease.

(e)           Grantor will furnish to Beneficiary such information and evidence as Beneficiary may reasonably require concerning Grantor’s due observance, performance, and compliance with the terms, covenants, and provisions of the Ground Lease.

 

 16 

 

10.3        Rights of Beneficiary to Perform. In the event of any default by Grantor in the performance of any of its obligations under the Ground Lease following all applicable notice and cure periods, including, without limitation, any default in the payment of rent and other charges and impositions made payable by the tenant thereunder, then, in each and every case, Beneficiary may, at its option and without notice, cause the default or defaults to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all of the rights of Grantor thereunder in the name of and on behalf of Grantor. Grantor shall, on demand, reimburse Beneficiary for all advances made and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in curing any such default (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from the date of payment by Beneficiary, and such reimbursement shall be immediately due and payable by Grantor to Beneficiary, and until paid shall be added to and become a part of the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.

10.4         Term of Ground Lease. Grantor shall give Beneficiary notice of any intention to exercise any option to extend the term of the Ground Lease, at least twenty (20) but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the time to exercise such option under the terms thereof. If Grantor intends to extend the term of any Ground Lease, Grantor shall deliver to Beneficiary with the notice of such decision, a copy of the notice of extension delivered to the Landlord thereunder. If the Ground Lease is cancelled or terminated, and if Beneficiary or its nominee shall acquire an interest in any new lease of the property demised thereby, Grantor shall have no right, title, or interest in or to the new lease or the leasehold estate created by such new lease.

10.5         No Merger of Estates. It is hereby agreed that the fee title and the leasehold estate in the property demised by the Ground Lease shall not merge, but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates in either the Landlord thereunder, Grantor, or a third party, whether by purchase or otherwise. If Grantor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title, or interest in the property demised by the Ground Lease, or any part thereof, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall attach to, cover, and be a lien upon such acquired estate, title, or interest, and same shall thereupon be and become a part of the Mortgaged Property with the same force and effect as if specifically encumbered herein. Grantor agrees to execute all instruments and documents which Beneficiary may reasonably require to ratify, confirm, and further evidence Beneficiary’s lien on the acquired estate, title, or interest. Furthermore, Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver all such instruments and documents in the name and on behalf of Grantor. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as the Indebtedness remains unpaid.

10.6        Estoppel Certificates. If requested by Beneficiary, Grantor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Beneficiary within thirty (30) days after written demand by Beneficiary, an estoppel certificate from the Landlord under the Ground Lease setting forth (a) the name of the Landlord thereunder, (b) that the Ground Lease has not been modified or, if it has been modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each such modification), (c) the basic rent payable under the Ground Lease, (d) the date to which all rental charges have been paid by Grantor under the Ground Lease, and (e) whether there are any alleged defaults of Grantor under the Ground Lease and, if there are, setting forth the nature thereof in reasonable detail.

10.7        Anti-Assignment Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Deed of Trust shall not constitute an assignment of the Ground Lease within the meaning of any provision thereof prohibiting its assignment, and Beneficiary shall have no liability or obligation thereunder by reason of its acceptance of this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary shall be liable for the obligations of Grantor arising under the Ground Lease for only that period of time which Beneficiary is in possession of the Mortgaged Property or has acquired, by foreclosure or otherwise, and is holding all of Grantor’s right, title, and interest therein.

10.8       Notices to the Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, Beneficiary is and shall be required to give to the Landlord formal notice of Beneficiary’s address (as set forth on the cover page hereof) for notice and any changes in such address for notice and a copy of each notice of default given to Grantor at the same time as and whenever any such notice of default shall be given by Beneficiary to Grantor. All such notices shall be addressed to the Landlord at its address as set forth in Ground Lease or as otherwise last furnished to Beneficiary. No such notice by Beneficiary to Grantor shall be deemed to have been duly given to the Landlord unless and until a copy thereof has been received by the Landlord in the manner provided in Section 13.1 of the Ground Lease.

10.9       Performance by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, Beneficiary shall accept performance by the Landlord of any covenant, condition or agreement on Grantor’s part, as tenant under the Ground Lease, to be performed under this Deed of Trust or other Loan Documents between Grantor and Beneficiary with the same force and effect as though performed by Grantor; provided, however, that the Landlord shall have no duty or obligation to cure any default (including a Default) by Grantor under this Deed of Trust, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement between Grantor and Beneficiary.

10.10      Landlord’s Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in the event of acceleration of the Indebtedness as a result of Grantor’s uncured default (including a Default) under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Landlord or its designee shall have the right to (a) prepay the Indebtedness in full in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) terminate the Ground Lease. In the event of the prepayment of the Indebtedness by the Landlord or its designee, payment shall be made directly to Beneficiary, as lender under the Credit Agreement, or the then holder of the Indebtedness, in exchange for either (i) a duly executed assignment of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in recordable form as applicable (without recourse but with warranty of good title) and delivery of all original Loan Documents to the Landlord or its assignee, including the Term Note endorsed, without recourse, payable to the Landlord or its assignee, or (ii) a duly executed document in form satisfactory to the Landlord releasing this Deed of Trust, and stating that the Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust has been satisfied, delivered to the Landlord, at its sole option.

10.11      Benefit of the Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 10.8 to 10.11 are for the benefit of the Landlord and its successors and assigns and may be relied upon and shall be enforceable by the Landlord and such successors and assigns. Neither the Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be liable upon the covenants, agreements or obligations of Grantor contained in this Deed of Trust or in any other Loan Document or agreement between Grantor and Beneficiary by virtue of the exercise of any rights set forth in Sections 10.8 to 10.11.

SECTION 11.        MISCELLANEOUSIX..

11.1        Survival of Obligations. All covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties made by Grantor in this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any certificates or other documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents. The obligations and provisions of all indemnities from Grantor to Beneficiary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall continue and remain in full force and effect after the Indebtedness of Grantor has been paid or discharged in full and shall survive the termination of this Deed of Trust and the repayment in full of the Indebtedness.

 18 

 

 

11.2         Covenants Running with the Land. All obligations contained in this Deed of Trust are intended by the parties to be and shall be construed as covenants running with the Land.

11.3        Recording and Filing. Grantor will cause the Loan Documents and all amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions therefor to be recorded, filed, re-recorded, and refiled in such manner and in such places as the Trustee or Beneficiary shall reasonably request and will pay all such recording, filing, re-recording and refiling, taxes, fees, and other charges.

11.4        Notices. Any notice, request, or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given at the addresses and in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

11.5        No Waiver. Any failure by the Trustee or Beneficiary to insist, or any election by the Trustee or Beneficiary, not to insist, upon strict performance by Grantor of any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of this Deed of Trust shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the same or of any other term, provision, or condition thereof, and the Trustee or Beneficiary shall have the right at any time or times thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Grantor of any and all of such terms, provisions, and conditions.

11.6        Beneficiary’s Right to Pay Indebtedness or Perform Obligations. If any obligated party shall fail, refuse, or neglect to make any required payment on the Indebtedness or if Grantor fails, refuses, or neglects to perform any of its obligations under this Deed of Trust, then in each case, at any time thereafter and without notice to or demand upon Grantor, or any other party, and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy, or recourse Beneficiary may have because of the same, Beneficiary may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Grantor and shall have the right to enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purpose and to take all such action thereon with respect to the Mortgaged Property as it reasonably may deem necessary or appropriate. Grantor shall be obligated to repay Beneficiary for all sums advanced by it pursuant to this Section 11.6 and shall indemnify and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, expense, liability, damage, and claims and causes of action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (except such as result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of Law or fraud of Beneficiary, the Trustee or each of their respective agents, successors, assigns, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, representatives, parents or attorneys), incurred or accruing by any acts performed by Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.6 or by reason of any other provision of the Loan Documents. All sums paid by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 11.6 and all other sums extended by Beneficiary to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate of interest provided for in the Credit Agreement from the date of such payment or expenditure, shall constitute additions to the Indebtedness, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be paid by Grantor to Beneficiary upon demand.

11.7       Limitation on Effectiveness of Lien. It is the intention of Grantor and Beneficiary that the amount of the Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust shall be in, but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar Laws applicable as to Grantor. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deed of Trust, the other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection with the payment of any of the Indebtedness, the amount of the Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust shall be limited to that amount which after giving effect thereto would not (a) render Grantor insolvent, (b) result in the fair saleable value of the assets of Grantor being less than the amount required to pay its debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they mature, or (c) leave Grantor with unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, including its capital needs, as such concepts described in (a), (b) and (c) herein are determined under applicable Law, if the obligations of Grantor hereunder would otherwise be set aside, terminated, annulled or avoided for such reason by a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding actually pending before such court.
