Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may perform non-structural

 

8



 

alterations, demolitions or removals without Lender’s consent, provided that the total cost of such alteration, demolition or removal is less than $1,000,000, and provided further that in areas which are leased or which are available for lease, such alteration, demolition or removal is required pursuant to a Lease which has been approved by Lender or which is permitted under the Assignment. Any exterior alterations to the Improvements performed pursuant to this paragraph shall conform to and be compatible with the existing exterior of the Improvements and shall utilize materials of equal or better quality than those materials utilized in the existing Improvements.

 

The Property will be managed by a property manager satisfactory to Lender pursuant to a management agreement satisfactory to Lender. The initial property manager shall be Buck Management Group, LLC, which Lender hereby acknowledges to be satisfactory.

Lender has the right to engage an independent expert to review and report on Borrower’s compliance with Borrower’s obligations under this Mortgage to maintain the Property, comply with Law and refrain from waste, impairment or deterioration of the Property and the alteration, demolition or removal of any of the Property except as may be permitted by the provisions of this Mortgage. If the independent expert’s report discloses material failure to comply with such obligations or if Lender engages the independent expert after the occurrence of an Event of Default, then the reasonable cost associated with the performance of such independent expert’s review and report will be at Borrower’s expense, payable promptly following receipt of written demand therefor.

Section 5.7.            Parking. Borrower will provide, maintain, police and light parking areas within the Property, including any sidewalks, aisles, streets, driveways, sidewalk cuts and rights-of-way to and from the adjacent public streets, in a manner consistent with the Permitted Use and that certain Easements and Covenants Agreement dated December 4,1991, recorded December 5, 1991, a Document No.  ###-###-####, as amended by Amended and Restated Agreement of Easements and Covenants dated December 31, 2002, recorded January 23, 2003, as Document No.  ###-###-#### and sufficient to accommodate the greatest of: (i) the number of parking spaces required by Law; (ii) the number of parking spaces required by the Leases and the Property Documents; or (iii) six hundred fifty-five (655) parking spaces, as such number may be reduced to cause the parking area to comply with Laws. The parking areas will be reserved and used for ingress, egress and parking for Borrower and the tenants under the Leases and their respective employees, customers and invitees and in accordance with the Leases and the Property Documents.

Section 5.10.          Lender’s Right to Appear, Lender has the right to appear in and defend any Proceeding brought regarding the Property and to bring any Proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, only following Borrower’s failure to do so on its own behalf, or at any time in Lender’s name, which Lender, in its sole discretion, determines should be brought to protect Lender’s interest in the Property.

ARTICLE VI

 

IMPOSITIONS AND ACCUMULATIONS

 

Section 6.1.            Impositions.

 

(a)           Borrower will pay each Imposition at least 3 Business Days before the date (the “Imposition Penalty Date”) that is the earlier of (i) the date on which the Imposition becomes delinquent and (ii) the date on which any penalty, interest or charge for non-payment of the Imposition accrues.

 

(b)           Promptly following its payment of Taxes, Assessments or insurance premiums, Borrower will deliver to Lender a receipted bill or other evidence of payment.

 

(c)           Borrower, at its own expense, may contest any Taxes or Assessments, provided that the following conditions are met:

 

(i)            not less than 30 days prior to the Imposition Penalty Date, Borrower delivers to Lender notice of the proposed contest;

 

(ii)           the contest is by a Proceeding promptly initiated and conducted diligently and in good faith;

 

(iii)          there is no monetary Event of Default;

 

(iv)          the Proceeding is permitted under and is conducted in accordance with the Leases and the Property Documents;

 

(v)           the Proceeding precludes imposition of criminal or civil penalties and sale or forfeiture of the Property and Lender will not be subject to any civil suit; and

 

(vi)          Borrower pays all of the contested Taxes or Assessments under protest in any event in accordance with the Laws of Minnesota.

 

(d)           Installment Payments. If any Assessment is payable in installments in accordance with its terms, Borrower may pay such Assessment in installments. If the Assessment is only payable in installments following Borrower or a representative of Borrower successfully petitioning to pay the Assessments in installments, then notwithstanding such right, Borrower will nevertheless pay the Assessment in its entirety on the day the first installment becomes due and payable or a lien, unless Lender, in its sole discretion, approves payment of the Assessment in installments.

 

11



 

Section 6.2.            Accumulations.

 

(a)           Borrower made an initial deposit with Lender or a mortgage servicer or financial institution designated or approved by Lender from time to time to receive, hold and disburse the Accumulations in accordance with this Section (the “Accumulations Depositary”). On the first day of each calendar month during the Term Borrower will deposit with the Accumulations Depositary an amount equal to one-eleventh (1/11) of the annual Taxes and Assessments as determined by Lender or its designee based upon the last ascertainable tax bill, unless otherwise provided in an agreement among Borrower, Lender and Accumulations Depository. At least 20 days before each Imposition Penalty Date, Borrower will deliver to the Accumulations Depositary any bills and other documents that are necessary to pay the Taxes and Assessments.

 

(b)           The Accumulations will be applied to the payment of Taxes and Assessments. Any excess Accumulations after payment of Taxes and Assessments will be returned to Borrower or credited against future payments of the Accumulations, at Lender’s election or as required by Law. If the Accumulations are not sufficient to pay Taxes and Assessments, Borrower will pay the deficiency to the Accumulations Depositary within 5 days of demand. At any time after an Event of Default occurs, Lender may apply the Accumulations as a credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion.

 

(c)           The Accumulations Depositary will hold the Accumulations as security for the Obligations until applied in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage. If Lender is not the Accumulations Depositary, the Accumulations Depositary will deliver the Accumulations to Lender upon Lender’s demand at any time after an Event of Default.

 

(d)           If the Property is sold or conveyed other than by foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, all right, title and interest of Borrower to the Accumulations will automatically, and without necessity of further assignment, be held for the account of the new owner, subject to the provisions of this Section and Borrower will have no further interest in the Accumulations.

 

(e)           The Accumulations Depositary has deposited the initial deposit and will deposit the monthly deposits into a separate interest bearing account with Lender denominated as secured party, all in accordance with an agreement among Borrower, Lender and the Accumulations Depositary dated the date of this Mortgage.

 

(f)            Lender has the right to pay, or to direct the Accumulations Depositary to pay, any Taxes or Assessments unless Borrower is contesting the Taxes or Assessments in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage, in which event any payment of the contested Taxes or Assessments will be made under protest in the manner prescribed by Law or, at Lender’s election, will be withheld.

 

(g)           If Lender assigns this Mortgage, Lender will pay, or cause the Accumulations Depositary to pay, the unapplied balance of the Accumulations to or at the direction of the assignee. Simultaneously with the payment, Lender and the Accumulations Depositary will be released from all liability with respect to the Accumulations and Borrower will look solely to the

 

12



 

assignee with respect to the Accumulations. When the Obligations have been fully satisfied, any unapplied balance of the Accumulations will be returned to Borrower.

 

Section 6.3.            Changes in Tax Laws. If a Law requires the deduction of the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt, any Loan Document or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax with interest and penalties, if any. If Lender determines that Borrower’s payment of the tax may be unlawful, unenforceable, usurious or taxable to Lender, the Debt will become immediately due and payable, without any Prepayment Premium or Evasion Premium, on 60 days’ prior notice unless the tax must be paid within the 60-day period, in which case, the Debt will be due and payable, without any Prepayment Premium or Evasion Premium within the lesser period.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

INSURANCE, CASUALTY, CONDEMNATION
AND RESTORATION

 

Section 7.1.            Insurance Coverages.

 

(a)           Lender hereby approves coverages currently maintained by Borrower. Borrower will continue to maintain such insurance coverages and endorsements in form and substance and in amounts as Lender may require in its sole discretion, from time to time and in the future Lender will not require any changes in coverages that are greater than industry standards for Class A downtown office properties. Until Lender notifies Borrower of changes in Lender’s requirements, Borrower will maintain not less than the insurance coverages and endorsements Lender required for closing of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender will not require coverages that are greater than Lender’s standard requirements for similarly situated Class A downtown office properties in its mortgage portfolio.

 

(b)           The insurance, including renewals, required under this Section will be issued on valid and enforceable policies and endorsements satisfactory to Lender (the “Policies”). Each Policy will contain a standard waiver of subrogation and a replacement cost endorsement and will provide that Lender will receive not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of any cancellation, termination or non-renewal of a Policy or any material change other than an increase in coverage and that Lender will be named under a standard mortgage endorsement as loss payee.

 

(c)           The insurance companies issuing the Policies (the “Insurers) must be authorized to do business in the State or Commonwealth where the Property is located, must have been in business for at least 5 years, must carry an A.M. Best Company, Inc. policy holder rating of A or better and an A.M. Best Company, Inc. financial category rating of Class X or better and must be otherwise satisfactory to Lender. Lender may select an alternative credit rating agency and may

 

13



 

impose different credit rating standards for the Insurers. Notwithstanding Lender’s right to approve the Insurers and to establish credit rating standards for the Insurers, Lender will not be responsible for the solvency of any Insurer.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding Lender’s rights under this Article, Lender will not be liable for any loss, damage or injury resulting from the inadequacy or lack of any insurance coverage.

 

(e)           Borrower will comply with the provisions of the Policies and with the requirements, notices and demands imposed by the Insurers and applicable to Borrower or the Property.

 

(f)            Borrower will pay the Insurance Premiums for each Policy no later than the expiration date of the Policy being replaced or renewed and will deliver to Lender an original or, if a blanket policy, a certified copy of each Policy marked “Paid” no later than 30 days following the inception date of the new Policy.

 

(g)           Borrower will not carry separate insurance concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss with any other insurance carried by Borrower.

 

(h)           Borrower will not carry any of the insurance required under this Section on a blanket or umbrella policy without in each instance Lender’s prior approval which may be withheld in Lender’s reasonable discretion. If Lender approves, Borrower will deliver to Lender a certified copy of the blanket policy which will allocate to the Property the amount of coverage required under this Section and otherwise will provide the same coverage and protection as would a separate policy insuring only the Property.

 

(i)            Borrower will give the Insurers prompt notice of any change in ownership or occupancy of the Property. This subsection does not abrogate the prohibitions on transfers set forth in this Mortgage.

 

Section 7.2.            Casualty and Condemnation.

 

(a)           Borrower will give Lender notice of any Casualty immediately after it occurs and will give Lender notice of any Condemnation Proceeding immediately after Borrower receives notice of commencement or notice that such a Condemnation Proceeding will be commencing. Borrower immediately will deliver to Lender copies of all documents Borrower delivers or receives relating to the Casualty or the Condemnation Proceeding, as the case may be.

 

(b)           Borrower authorizes Lender, at Lender’s option, to act on Borrower’s behalf to collect, adjust and compromise any claims for loss, damage or destruction under the Policies on such terms as Lender determines in Lender’s sole discretion. Borrower authorizes Lender to act, at Lender’s option, on Borrower’s behalf in connection with any Condemnation Proceeding. Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender all documents requested by Lender and all

documents as may be required by Law to confirm such authorizations. Nothing in this Section will be construed to limit or prevent Lender from joining with Borrower either as a co-defendant or as a co-plaintiff in any Condemnation Proceeding.

 

(c)           If Lender elects not to act on Borrower’s behalf as provided in this Section, then Borrower promptly will file and prosecute all claims (including Lender’s claims) relating to the Casualty and will prosecute or defend (including defense of Lender’s interest) any Condemnation Proceeding. Borrower will have the authority to settle or compromise the claims or Condemnation Proceeding, as the case may be, provided that Lender has approved in Lender’s sole discretion any compromise or settlement that exceeds $1,000,000. Any check for Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Awards, as the case may be (the “Proceeds”) will be made payable to Lender and Borrower. Borrower will endorse the check to Lender immediately upon Lender presenting the check to Borrower for endorsement or if Borrower receives the check first, will endorse the check immediately upon receipt and forward it to Lender. If any Proceeds are paid to Borrower, Borrower immediately will deposit the Proceeds with Lender, to be applied or disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage. Lender will be responsible for only the Proceeds actually received by Lender.

 

Section 7.3.            Application of Proceeds. After deducting the third party costs incurred by Lender in collecting the Proceeds, Lender may, in its sole discretion, (i) apply the Proceeds as a credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion which shall be applied without obligation by Borrower to pay any prepayment premium; (ii) apply the Proceeds to restore the Improvements, provided that Lender will not be obligated to see to the proper application of the Proceeds and provided further that any amounts released for Restoration will not be deemed a payment on the Debt; or (iii) deliver the Proceeds to Borrower.

 

Section 7.4.            Conditions to Availability of Proceeds for Restoration. Notwithstanding the preceding Section, after a Casualty or a Condemnation (a “Destruction Event”). Lender will make the Proceeds (less any third party costs incurred by Lender in collecting the Proceeds) available for Restoration in accordance with the conditions for disbursements set forth in the Section entitled “Restoration”, provided that the following conditions are met:

 

(i)            Borrower or the transferee under a Permitted Transfer, if any, continues to be Borrower at the time of the Destruction Event and at all times thereafter until the Proceeds have been fully disbursed;

 

(ii)           No default under the Loan Documents exists at the time of the Destruction Event;

 

(iii)          a “material number” of the Leases in effect immediately prior to the Destruction Event and all Property Documents in effect immediately prior to the Destruction Event that are essential to the use and operation of the Property continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the Destruction Event. A “material number” shall

mean leases which, in the aggregate, include more than 10% of the Property, based on rentable area;

 

(iv)          if the Destruction Event is a Condemnation, Borrower delivers to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Improvements can be restored to an economically and architecturally viable unit;

 

(v)           Borrower delivers to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Proceeds are sufficient to complete Restoration or if the Proceeds are insufficient to complete Restoration, Borrower first deposits with Lender funds (“Additional Funds”) that when added to the Proceeds will be sufficient to complete Restoration;

 

(vi)          if the Destruction Event is a Casualty, Borrower delivers to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Insurer under each affected Policy has not denied liability under the Policy as to Borrower or the insured under the Policy;

 

(vii)         Lender is satisfied that the proceeds of any business interruption insurance in effect together with other available gross revenues from the Property are sufficient to pay Debt Service Payments after paying the Impositions, Insurance Premiums, reasonable and customary operating expenses and capital expenditures until Restoration is complete;

 

(viii)        Lender is satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or before the date (the “Restoration Completion Date”) that is the earliest of: (A) 12 months prior to the Maturity Date; (B) 12 months after the Destruction Event; (C) the earliest date required for completion of Restoration under any Lease or any Property Document; or (D) any date required by Law; and

 

(ix)           the annual Rents (excluding security deposits) under Leases in effect on the date of the Destruction Event are providing debt service coverage for the annual Debt Service Payments of 1.15 after payment of annual Insurance Premiums, Impositions and other operating expenses of the Property (including ground rent, if any), provided that, if the Rents do not provide such debt service coverage, then Borrower expressly authorizes and directs Lender to apply an amount from the Proceeds to reduction of Principal in order to reduce the annual Debt Service Payments sufficiently for such debt service coverage to be achieved. The reduced debt service payments will be calculated using the Fixed Interest Rate and an amortization schedule that will achieve the same proportionate amortization of the reduced Principal over the then remaining Term as would have been achieved if the Principal and the originally scheduled Debt Service Payments had not been reduced. Borrower will execute any documentation that Lender deems reasonably necessary to evidence the reduced Principal and debt service payments.

Section 7.5.            Restoration.

 

(a)           If the total Proceeds for any Destruction Event are $1,000,000.00 or less and Lender elects or is obligated by Law or under this Article to make the Proceeds available for Restoration, Lender will disburse to Borrower the entire amount received by Lender and Borrower will commence Restoration promptly after the Destruction Event and complete Restoration not later than the Restoration Completion Date.

 

(b)           If the Proceeds for any Destruction Event exceed $1,000,000.00 and Lender elects or is obligated by Law or under this Article to make the Proceeds available for Restoration, Lender will disburse the Proceeds and any Additional Funds (the “Restoration Funds) upon Borrower’s request as Restoration progresses, generally in accordance with normal construction lending practices for disbursing funds for construction costs, provided that the following conditions are met:

 

(i)            Borrower commences Restoration promptly after the Destruction Event and completes Restoration on or before the Restoration Completion Date;

 

(ii)           if Lender requests, Borrower delivers to Lender prior to commencing Restoration, for Lender’s approval, plans and specifications and a detailed budget for the Restoration;

(iv)          Borrower pays all costs of Restoration whether or not the Restoration Funds are sufficient and, if at any time during Restoration, Lender determines that the undisbursed balance of the Restoration Funds is insufficient to complete Restoration, Borrower deposits with Lender, as part of the Restoration Funds, an amount equal to the deficiency within 30 days of receiving notice of the deficiency from Lender; and

 

(v)           there is no default under the Loan Documents at the time Borrower requests funds or at the time Lender disburses funds.

 

(c)           If an Event of Default occurs at any time after the Destruction Event, then Lender will have no further obligation to make any remaining Proceeds available for Restoration and may apply any remaining Proceeds without any prepayment premium as a credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion.

 

(d)           Lender may elect at any time prior to commencement of Restoration or while work is in progress to retain, at Borrower’s expense, an independent engineer or other consultant to review the plans and specifications, to inspect the work as it progresses and to provide reports. If any matter included in a report by the engineer or consultant is unsatisfactory to Lender, Lender may suspend disbursement of the Restoration Funds until the unsatisfactory matters contained in the report are resolved to Lender’s satisfaction.

 

17



 

(e)           If Borrower fails to commence and complete Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Article, then in addition to the Remedies, Lender may elect to restore the Improvements on Borrower’s behalf and reimburse itself out of the Restoration Funds for costs and expenses incurred by Lender in restoring the Improvements, or Lender may apply the Restoration Funds as a credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion.

 

(f)            Lender will not hold any Restoration Funds in trust. Lender will deposit the Restoration Funds in an interest bearing account with a depositary satisfactory to Lender under a disbursement and security agreement satisfactory to Lender. All interest earned on such Restoration Funds shall be applied and distributed in the same manner as the Restoration Funds hereunder.

 

(g)           Borrower will pay all of Lender’s reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with a Destruction Event or Restoration. If Borrower fails to do so, then in addition to the Remedies, Lender may from time to time reimburse itself out of the Restoration Funds.

 

(h)           If any excess Proceeds remains after Restoration, Lender shall deliver the excess to Borrower unless a monetary Event of Default has occurred, in which event Lender may elect, in its sole discretion either to apply the excess as a credit against any portion of the Debt as selected by Lender in its sole discretion or to deliver the excess to Borrower.

(A)          if the purchaser at the foreclosure sale is not Lender, first to Lender to the extent of any deficient of the sale proceeds to repay the Debt, second to the purchaser as a credit to the redemption price, but if the Property is not redeemed, then to the purchaser of the Property;

 

(B)           if purchaser at the foreclosure sale is Lender, to Lender to the extent of any deficiency of the sale proceeds to repay the Debt and the balance to be retained by Lender as a credit to the redemption price, but if the Property is not redeemed, then to Lender, whether or not any deficiency exists.

(iv)          if a portion of the Property is sold pursuant to this Article, the Loan Documents will remain in full force and effect with respect to any unmatured portion of the Debt and this Mortgage will continue as a valid and enforceable first lien on and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, without loss of priority and without impairment of any of Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to the unmatured portion of the Debt;

 

(v)           Lender may bid for and acquire the Property at a sale and, in lieu of paying cash, may credit the amount of Lender’s bid against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion after deducting from the amount of Lender’s bid the expenses of the sale, costs of enforcement and other amounts that Lender is authorized to deduct at Law, in equity or otherwise; and

 

(vi)          Lender’s receipt of the proceeds of a sale will be sufficient consideration for the portion of the Property sold and Lender will apply the proceeds as set forth in this Mortgage.

ARTICLE XVIII

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 18.1.          Applicable Law. This Mortgage is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the Laws of the State or Commonwealth where the Property is located, except to the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code requires otherwise.

 

Section 18.2.          Usury Limitations. Borrower and Lender intend to comply with all Laws with respect to the charging and receiving of interest. Any amounts charged or received by Lender for the use or forbearance of the Principal to the extent permitted by Law, will be amortized and spread throughout the Term until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest charged or received by Lender on account of the Principal does not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. If any amount charged or received under the Loan Documents that is deemed to be interest is determined to be in excess of the amount permitted to be charged or received at the Maximum Interest Rate, the excess will be deemed to be a prepayment of Principal when paid, without premium, and any portion of the excess not capable of being so applied will be refunded to Borrower. If during the Term the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, is eliminated, then for the purposes of the Loan, there will be no Maximum Interest Rate.

 

Section 18.3.          Lender’s Discretion. Wherever under the Loan Documents any matter is required to be satisfactory to Lender, Lender has the right to approve or determine any matter or Lender has an election, Lender’s approval, determination or election will be made in Lender’s reasonable discretion unless expressly provided to the contrary.

 

Section 18.4.          Unenforceable Provisions. If any provision in the Loan Documents is found to be illegal or unenforceable or would operate to invalidate any of the Loan Documents, then the provision will be deemed expunged and the Loan Documents will be construed as though the provision was not contained in the Loan Documents and the remainder of the Loan Documents will remain in full force and effect.

 

Section 18.5.          Survival of Borrower’s Obligations. Borrower’s representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Documents, including the obligations set forth in Section 15.1(c)(xiv) herein, will continue in full force and effect and survive (i) satisfaction of the Obligations; (ii) release of the lien of this Mortgage; (iii) assignment or other transfer of all or any portion of Lender’s interest in the Loan Documents or the Property; (iv) Lender’s exercise of any of the Remedies or any of Lender’s other rights under the Loan Documents; (v) a

 

44



 

Transfer; (vi) amendments to the Loan Documents; and (vii) any other act or omission that might otherwise be construed as a release or discharge of Borrower; provided that in the case of (i) or (ii) above, such representations, warranties and covenants shall not survive longer than 18 months after such satisfaction or release.

 

Section 18.6.          Relationship Between Borrower and Lender; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

 

(a)           Lender is not a partner of or joint venturer with Borrower or any other entity as a result of the Loan or Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents; the relationship between Lender and Borrower is strictly that of creditor and debtor. Each Loan Document is an agreement between the parties to that Loan Document for the mutual benefit of the parties and no entities other than the parties to that Loan Document will be a third party beneficiary or will have any claim against Lender or Borrower by virtue of the Loan Document. As between Lender and Borrower, any actions taken by Lender under the Loan Documents will be taken for Lender’s protection only, and Lender has not and will not be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower or to any other entity by virtue of Lender’s actions.

 

(b)           All conditions to Lender’s performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents are imposed solely for the benefit of Lender. No entity other than Lender will have standing to require satisfaction of the conditions in accordance with their provisions or will be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to perform its obligations in the absence of strict compliance with any of the conditions.

 

Section 18.7.          Partial Releases: Extensions: Waivers. Lender may: (i) release any part of the Property or any entity obligated for any of the Obligations; (ii) extend the time for payment or performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise amend the provisions for payment or performance by agreement with any entity that is obligated for the Obligations or that has an interest in the Property; (iii) accept additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations; and (iv) waive any entity’s performance of an Obligation, release any entity or individual now or in the future liable for the performance of the Obligation or waive the exercise of any Remedy or option. Lender may exercise any of the foregoing rights without notice, without regard to the amount of any consideration given, without affecting the priority of the Loan Documents, without releasing any entity not specifically released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, without releasing any guarantor(s) or surety(ies) of any of the Obligations, without effecting a novation of the Loan Documents and, with respect to a waiver, without waiving future performance of the Obligation or exercise of the Remedy waived.

 

Section 18.8.          Service of Process. Borrower irrevocably consents to service of process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Borrower at its address set forth in the Article entitled “Notices”.

 

Section 18.9.          Entire Agreement. Oral agreements or commitments between Borrower and Lender to lend money, to extend credit or to forbear from enforcing repayment of a debt,

 

45



 

including promises to extend or renew the debt, are not enforceable. Any agreements between Borrower and Lender relating to the Loan are contained in the Loan Documents, which contain the complete and exclusive statement of the agreements between Borrower and Lender, except as Borrower and Lender may later agree in writing to amend the Loan Documents. The language of each Loan Document will be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning and will not be construed against the draftsman.

 

Section 18.10.        No Oral Amendment. The Loan Documents may not be amended, waived or terminated orally or by any act or omission made individually by Borrower or Lender but may be amended, waived or terminated only by a written document signed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, waiver or termination is sought.

 

Section 18.11.        Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents will not affect any other provisions of the Loan Documents, which will be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision never had been included.

 

Section 18.12.        Covenants Run with the Land. Subject to the restrictions on transfer contained in the Article entitled “TRANSFERS, LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES”, all of the covenants of this Mortgage and the Assignment run with the Land, will bind all parties hereto and all tenants and subtenants of the Land or the Improvements and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and all occupants and subsequent owners of the Property, and will inure to the benefit of Lender and all subsequent holders of the Note and this Mortgage.

 

Section 18.13.        Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to Borrower’s payment and performance of the Obligations.

 

Section 18.14.        Subrogation. If the Principal or any other amount advanced by Lender is used directly or indirectly to pay off, discharge or satisfy all or any part of an encumbrance affecting the Property, then Lender is subrogated to the encumbrance and to any security held by the holder of the encumbrance, all of which will continue in full force and effect in favor of Lender as additional security for the Obligations.

 

Section 18.15.        Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one person or entity, the obligations and liabilities of each such person or entity under this Mortgage are joint and several.

 

Section 18.16.        Successors and Assigns. The Loan Documents bind the parties to the Loan Documents and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors, agents and representatives and inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors, agents and representatives.
