In the event of loss by reason of hazards, casualties, contingencies and perils for which insurance has been required by Lender hereunder, Borrower shall give immediate notice thereof to Lender. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest for Lender to, at its option, make proof of loss and/or to file a claim thereunder. Each insurance company concerned is hereby notified, authorized and directed to make payment for such loss directly to Lender, instead of to Borrower and Lender jointly, and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to adjust and compromise any losses for which insurance proceeds are payable under any of the aforesaid insurance policies and, after deducting the costs of collection, to apply the proceeds of such insurance, at its option, and subject to the terms of any Major Tenant Leases, either: (a) to the restoration or repair of the insured Improvements, Appurtenances, and Fixtures and Personal Property, provided that, in the opinion and sole discretion of Lender, such restoration or repair is reasonably practical and, provided further, that, in the opinion and sole discretion of Lender, either: (i) the insurance proceeds so collected are sufficient to cover the cost of such restoration or repair of the damage or destruction with respect to which such proceeds were paid, or (ii) the insurance proceeds so collected are not sufficient alone to cover the cost of such restoration or repair, but are sufficient therefor when taken together with funds provided and made available by Borrower from other sources; in which event Lender shall make such insurance proceeds available to Borrower for the purpose of effecting such restoration or repair; but Lender shall not be obligated to see to the proper application of such insurance proceeds nor shall the amount of funds so released or used be deemed to be payment of or on account of the Loan secured hereby; or (b) to the reduction of the Loan, notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that said Loan is otherwise adequately secured, in which event such proceeds shall be applied at par against the Loan secured hereby and the monthly payment due on account of such Loan shall be reduced accordingly as calculated by Lender. None of such actions taken by Lender shall be deemed to be or result in a waiver or impairment of any equity, lien or right of Lender under and by virtue of this Mortgage, nor will the application of such insurance proceeds to the reduction of the Loan serve to cure any default in the payment thereof. In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the Loan secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any insurance policies then in force, including any rights to unearned premiums and in and to insurance proceeds then payable, shall pass to the purchaser or grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be entitled to compromise any losses

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 8 to the contrary, in the event of loss or damage to the Property by fire or other casualty for which insurance has been required by Lender and provided by Borrower, and the amount of such loss or damage does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the unpaid principal balance of the Note, Lender hereby agrees to allow the proceeds of insurance to be used for the restoration of the Property and to release such insurance proceeds to Borrower as such restoration progresses, provided:

 

(a)                               Borrower is not in default under any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents;

 

(b)                              The Improvements, after such restoration, shall be at least eighty percent (80%) leased pursuant to leases approved in writing by Lender unless restoration is required pursuant to the Major Tenant Lease(s);

 

(c)                               The plans and specifications for the restoration of the Property are approved in writing by Lender in advance;

 

(d)                              At all times during such restoration, Borrower has deposited with Lender funds which, when added to the insurance proceeds received by Lender, are sufficient to complete the restoration of the Property in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and all applicable building codes, zoning ordinances, regulations and Accessibility Laws, and further, that the funds retained by Lender are sufficient to complete the restoration of the Property as certified to Lender by Lender’s inspecting architect/engineer;

 

(e)                           Borrower provides suitable completion, payment and performance bonds, builders’ all risk insurance, and all necessary licenses and permits for such restoration in form and amount acceptable to Lender, provided however, that Borrower shall not be required to provide completion, payment and performance bonds in the event that Borrower, or an affiliate of Borrower acceptable to Lender, is performing such restoration as a licensed Florida contractor;

 

(f)                             The insurer under such policies of fire or other casualty insurance does not assert any defense to payment under such policies against Lender, Borrower, any tenant, or third party of Borrower with regard to the Property;

 

(g)                          Lender shall have the option, upon the completion of such restoration of the Property, to apply any surplus insurance proceeds remaining after the completion of such restoration, at par, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Note; notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that said Loan is otherwise adequately secured;

 

11



 

(h)                                  The funds held by Lender shall be disbursed no more often than once per month and in not more than five (5) increments of not less than FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS (550,000.00) each, except the final disbursement of such funds which may be in an amount less than FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00);

 

(i)                                     Lender’s obligation to make any such disbursement shall be conditioned upon Lender’s receipt of written certification from Lender’s inspecting architect/engineer (whose fees shall be reimbursed to Lender by Borrower) that all construction and work for which such disbursement is requested has been substantially completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and in accordance with all applicable building codes, zoning ordinances and all other Laws and, further, that Borrower has deposited with Lender sufficient funds to complete such restoration in accordance with Section 8(d); and

 

(j)                                    Lender shall be entitled to require and to impose such other conditions to the release of such funds as would be customarily or reasonably be required and imposed by local construction lenders for a project of similar nature and cost.

 

9.                                     Liability Insurance. Borrower shall carry and maintain such commercial general liability insurance as may from time to time be required by Lender, taking into consideration the type of property being insured and the corresponding liability exposure, on forms, with deductibles, in amounts and with such company or companies licensed to do business in the state where the Property is located and as may be acceptable to Lender. All such commercial general liability insurance shall be carried with a company or companies which have and maintain a rating equivalent to at least A:X as shown in the most recent Best’s Key Rating Guide. The original policy or policies and all renewals thereof (or, at the sole option of Lender, duplicate originals or certified copies thereof), together with a Certificate of Insurance (Acord Form 25S) and receipts evidencing payment of the premium therefor, shall be deposited with, held by and are hereby assigned to, Lender as additional security for the Loan secured hereby. Such policy or policies of insurance shall name Lender as an additional insured and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days prior Written Notice to Lender of any intent to modify, cancel, non-renew, or terminate the policy or policies or the expiration of such policy or policies of insurance, or the exclusion of any individual risk such as acts of terrorism.

In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the Loan secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Borrower, in and to any insurance policies then in force including any rights to unearned premiums, and in and to insurance proceeds then payable, shall pass to the purchaser or grantee. In case of Borrower’s failure to keep the Property properly insured as required herein, Lender, its successors or assigns, may, at its option (but shall not be required to) acquire such insurance as required herein at Borrower’s sole expense.

 

10.                          Compliance With Laws.

 

(a)                             Borrower shall observe, abide by and comply with all federal, regional, state and local laws, codes, ordinances, statutes, rules, regulations, decisions, orders, requirements or decrees relating to the Property enacted, promulgated or issued by any federal,

 

12



 

state, county or local governmental or quasi-governmental authority or any agency or subdivision thereof having jurisdiction over Borrower or the Property, which now or hereafter affect Borrower or the Property, including Hazardous Waste Laws and Accessibility Laws (collectively, the “Laws”), and to observe and comply with all conditions and requirements necessary to preserve and extend any and all rights, licenses, permits (including, but not limited to, zoning, variances, special exceptions and nonconforming uses), privileges, franchises and concessions which are applicable to the Property, or which have been granted to or contracted for by Borrower in connection with any existing, presently contemplated or future uses of the Property.

 

(b)                                 Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Borrower shall deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of this Mortgage, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (i) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) Borrower is not subject to state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

 

(i)                                   Equity interests in Borrower are publicly offered securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(b)(2);

 

(ii)                               Less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each outstanding class of equity interests in Borrower are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(f)(2);or

 

(iii)                           Borrower qualifies as an “operating company” or a “real estate operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (c) or (e) or an investment company registered under The Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

11.                             Maintenance of Permits. Borrower shall obtain, keep and constantly maintain in full force and effect during the entire term of this Mortgage, all certificates, licenses and permits necessary to keep the Property operating for the Existing Use and, except as specifically provided for in this Mortgage, not to assign, transfer or in any manner change such certificates, licenses or permits without first receiving the written consent of Lender.

 

12.                             Obligations of Borrower as Lessor.

 

(a)                              Borrower shall perform every obligation of Borrower (as the landlord) and enforce every obligation of the tenant in any and every lease, license or other occupancy agreement of or affecting the Property or any part thereof (the “Occupancy Leases”), and not to modify, alter, waive or cancel any such Occupancy Leases or any part thereof or rights thereunder, without the prior written consent of Lender (but such consent shall not be required for such action as to Occupancy Leases of three thousand (3,000) square feet or less if such

 

13



 

action is in the ordinary course of business of owning and operating the Property in a prudent and business-like manner, on then current market terms), nor collect for more than thirty (30) days in advance of the date due any Rents that may be collectible under any such Occupancy Leases and, except as provided for in this Mortgage, not to assign any such Occupancy Lease(s) or any such Rents relating thereto, to any party other than Lender, without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower will notify Lender in writing of any default under any Occupancy Lease.  In the event of default under any such Occupancy Lease by reason of failure of Borrower to keep or perform one or more of the covenants, agreements or conditions thereof, Lender is hereby authorized and empowered, and may, at its sole option, remedy, remove or cure any such default, and further, Lender may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion but without obligation to do so, pay any sum of money deemed necessary by Lender for the performance of said covenants, agreements and conditions, or for the curing or removal of any such default, and incur all expenses and obligations which Lender may consider necessary or reasonable in connection therewith, and Borrower shall repay on demand all such sums so paid or advanced by Lender together with interest thereon until paid at the lesser of either: (i) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the Laws of the State of Florida, or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, or (ii) the then applicable interest rate of the Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum; all of such sums, if unpaid, shall be added to and become part of the Loan.

 

(b)           All such Occupancy Leases hereafter made and all future leases shall be subject to the approval of Lender and: (i) shall be at competitive market rental rates then prevailing in the geographic area for projects used for the Existing Use comparable to the Property; (ii) shall have lease terms of not less than three (3) years; and (iii) at Lender’s option, shall be superior or subordinate in all respects to the lien of this Mortgage.  Provided, however, that Lender shall not require approval in advance of any Occupancy Leases which, conform to the Borrower’s Form Lease (as hereinafter defined) as previously approved by Lender, except as set forth below.  Neither the right nor the exercise of the right herein granted unto Lender to keep or perform any such covenants, agreements or conditions as aforesaid shall preclude Lender from exercising its option to cause the whole Loan secured hereby to become immediately due and payable by reason of Borrower’s default in keeping or performing any such covenants, agreements or conditions.

 

(c)           Lender has approved a form of Occupancy Lease to be used by Borrower in connection with the Property (the “Form Lease”).  Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, modify or alter the Form Lease in any material respect.  In addition, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, surrender, terminate, modify or alter, either orally or in writing, any Occupancy Lease now existing or hereafter made with any Major Tenant (as hereinafter defined) for all or part of the Property, permit an assignment or sublease of any such Occupancy Lease, or request or consent to the subordination of any Occupancy Lease to any lien subordinate to this Mortgage except as set forth in any such Occupancy Lease which has been specifically approved by Lender.  Borrower shall furnish Lender with copies of all executed Occupancy Leases of all or any part of the Property now existing or hereafter made, and Borrower shall assign to Lender (which assignment shall be in form and content acceptable to Lender), as additional security for the Note and the Loan, all Occupancy Leases now existing or hereafter made for all or any part of the Property.  Additionally, if any Occupancy Lease contains a provision allowing the tenant to terminate their

 

14



 

lease upon payment of a lease termination fee, Borrower agrees that all such sums shall constitute rent, and shall be paid to Lender so long as this Mortgage is in effect.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing approval by Lender of Borrower’s Form Lease, Lender hereby specifically reserves the right to approve all prospective tenants under all Occupancy Leases hereafter proposed to be made if either: (i) the term thereof, excluding options to renew the same, exceeds five (5) years; or (ii) the net rentable area to be occupied thereunder, including expansion options, exceeds ten percent (10%) of the net leasable area of each of the buildings comprising the Improvements (the tenants under such leases being hereinafter referred to as “Major Tenants”).  Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of all prospective Major Tenants, and shall deliver to Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, a copy of the prospective Major Tenant’s current financial statement and the most recent Dun & Bradstreet credit report on said prospective Major Tenant, if available.  The financial statement delivered to Lender hereunder shall be certified as true and correct by the Major Tenant, or, if available, by a certified public accountant.

 

(d)           In no event shall Borrower exercise any right to relocate any lessee outside the Property pursuant to any right set forth in an Occupancy Lease without the prior written consent of Lender.

 

13.           Maintenance of Parking & Access Prohibition Against Alteration: Separate Tax Lot.

 

(a)           Borrower shall construct, keep and constantly maintain, as the case may be, all curbs, drives, parking areas and the number of parking spaces heretofore approved by Lender, or heretofore or.  hereafter required by any Laws or any governmental body, agency or authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or the Property, and as required by the terms of the Occupancy Leases, and not to alter, erect, build or construct upon any portion of the Property, any building, structure or improvement of any kind whatsoever (except as required by governmental laws, ordinances or regulations), the erection, building or construction of which has not been previously approved by Lender in writing, which approval shall be at the sole discretion of Lender.

 

(b)           Borrower shall cause the Property to remain separately assessed for real estate tax purposes as a separate tax lot or lots.

 

14.           Execution of Additional Documents.  Borrower shall do, make, execute, acknowledge, witness and deliver all deeds, conveyances, mortgages, deeds of trust, assignments, estoppel certificates, subordination non-disturbance and attornments, notices of assignments, transfers, assurances, security agreements, financing statements and renewals thereof, and all other instruments or other acts necessary, as Lender shall from time to time require for the purpose of better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, securing and confirming unto Lender the Property and rights hereby encumbered, created, conveyed, assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be encumbered, created, conveyed or assigned, or which Borrower may now be or may hereafter become bound to encumber, create, convey or assign to Lender, or for the purpose of carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage, or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage, and to pay all filing,

 

15



 

registration or recording fees and all taxes, costs and other expenses, including Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees, incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment, delivery and recordation of any of the same.  By signing this Mortgage, Borrower authorizes Lender to file such financing statements, with or without the signature of Borrower, as Lender may elect, as may be necessary or desirable to perfect the lien of Lender’s security interest in the Fixtures and Personal Property.  Without limiting any other provision herein, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file one or more financing statements and any renewal or continuation statements thereof, describing the Property and the proceeds of the Property, including, without limitation,, a financing statement covering “all assets of Borrower all proceeds therefrom, and all rights and privileges with respect thereto”.  Borrower further authorizes Lender to file, with or without any additional signature from Borrower, as Lender may elect, such amendments and continuation statements as Lender may deem necessary or desirable from time to time to perfect or continue the lien of Lender’s security interest in the Fixtures and Personal Property.  Borrower hereby ratifies any financing statements that may have been filed by Lender in advance of the date hereof to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Fixtures and Personal Property.

 

15.           After Acquired Property Secured.  Borrower shall subject to the lien of this Mortgage all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all extensions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutions and replacements of, and all additions and appurtenances to, the Property hereinabove described, hereafter acquired by or released to Borrower, or constructed, assembled or placed by Borrower on the Real Property, and all conversions of the security constituted thereby, immediately upon such acquisition, release, construction, assembling, placement or conversion, as the case may be, and in each such case, without any further mortgage, deed of trust, encumbrance, conveyance, assignment or other act by Borrower, as fully, completely and with the same effect as though now owned by Borrower and specifically described herein, but at any and all times, Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender any and all such further assurances, mortgages, deeds of trust, conveyances, security agreements, financing statements or assignments thereof or security interests therein as Lender may reasonably require for the purpose of expressly and specifically subjecting the same to the lien of this Mortgage.

 

16.           Payments by Lender on Behalf of Borrower.  Borrower shall make payment of any taxes, assessments or public charges on or with respect to the Property before the same shall become delinquent, or to make payment of any insurance premiums or other charges, impositions, or liens herein or elsewhere required to be paid by Borrower, or if Borrower shall fail so to do, then Lender, at its sole option, but without obligation to do so, may make payment or payments of the same and also may redeem the Property from tax sale without any obligation to inquire into the validity of such taxes, assessments, charges, impositions or liens.  In the case of any such payment by Lender, Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender, upon demand therefor, the amount of such payment and of any fees and expenses attendant in making the same, together with interest thereon at the lesser of either: (a) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the Laws of the State of Florida or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, or (b) the then applicable interest rate of the Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum; and until paid such amounts and interest shall be added to and become part of the Loan secured hereby to the same extent that this Mortgage secures the repayment of the Loan.  In making payments authorized by the provisions of this Section 16, Lender may do so whenever, in Lender’s sole judgment and discretion, such advance or advances are necessary or desirable to protect the full

 

16



 

security intended to be afforded by this Mortgage.  Neither the right nor the exercise of the rights herein granted to Lender to make any such payments as aforesaid shall preclude Lender from exercising its option to cause the Loan secured hereby to become immediately due and payable by reason of Borrower’s default, in making such payments as hereinabove required.

 

17.           Funds Held by Lender for Taxes, Assessments, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges.  In order to more fully protect the security of this Mortgage, Borrower shall deposit with Lender, together with and in addition to each monthly payment due on account of the Loan, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual total of such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other charges (all as estimated by Lender in its sole discretion) so that, at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof, Lender shall be able to pay in full all such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other charges as the same shall become due.  Lender may hold the sums so deposited without paying interest, commingle same with its general funds and/or apply the same to the payment of said taxes, assessments, insurance premiums or other charges as they become due and payable.  If at any time the funds so held by Lender are insufficient to pay such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums or other, charges as they become due and payable, Borrower shall immediately, upon Written Notice and demand by Lender, deposit with Lender the amount of such deficiency.  The failure on the part of Borrower to do so shall entitle Lender, at Lender’s sole option, to make such payments in accordance with the rights and pursuant to the conditions elsewhere provided in this Mortgage.  Whenever any default exists under this Mortgage, Lender may, at Lender’s sole option but without an obligation so to do, apply any funds so held by Lender pursuant to this Section 17 toward the payment of the Loan, notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that the Loan may otherwise be adequately secured, in such order and manner of application as Lender may elect.

 

18.           Condemnation: Eminent Domain.  All claims and rights of action for, and all awards and other compensation heretofore or hereafter made to Borrower and all subsequent owners of the Property in any taking by eminent domain, recovery for inverse condemnation or by deed in lieu thereof, whether permanent or temporary, of all or any part of the Property or any easement or any appurtenance thereto, including severance and consequential damages and change in grade of any way, street, avenue, road, alley, passage or public place, are hereby assigned to Lender.  Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, and authorizes, directs and empowers Lender, at the option of Lender as said attorney-in-fact, on behalf of Borrower, its successors and assigns, to adjust or compromise the claim for any such award, and alone to collect and receive the proceeds thereof, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefore and, after deducting any expenses of collection, at Lender’s sole option either: Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be entitled to compromise any losses pursuant to this paragraph provided that Borrower is not in default of the Note, this Mortgage, or the other Loan Documents.

 

(a)           subject to the terms of the Major Tenant Leases, to apply the net proceeds as a credit upon any portion of the Loan, as selected by Lender, notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable, or that the Loan is otherwise adequately secured.  In the event Lender applies such awards to the reduction of the outstanding Loan evidenced by the Note, such proceeds shall be applied at par, and the monthly installments due

 

17



 

and payable under the Note shall be reduced accordingly as calculated by Lender; however no such application shall serve to cure an existing default of Borrower; or

 

(b)           to hold said proceeds without any allowance of interest, and make the same available for restoration or rebuilding of the Improvements.  In the event that Lender elects to make said proceeds available to reimburse Borrower for the cost of the restoration or rebuilding of the Improvements on the Real Property, such proceeds shall be made available in the manner and under the same conditions as required under Section 8 hereof.  If the proceeds are made available by Lender to reimburse Borrower for the cost of said restoration or rebuilding, any surplus which may remain out of said award after payment of such cost of restoration or rebuilding, shall be applied on account of the Loan at par notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that the Loan may otherwise be adequately secured.

 

Borrower further covenants and agrees to give Lender immediate notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceedings under eminent domain, and to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with any such proceedings, Borrower further covenants and agrees to make, execute and deliver to Lender, at any time or times, upon request, free, clear and discharged of any encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, any and all further assignments and/or other instruments deemed necessary by Lender for the purpose of validly and sufficiently assigning all such awards and other compensation heretofore or hereafter made to Lender (including the assignment of any award from the United States government at any time after the allowance of the claim therefor, the ascertainment of the amount thereof and the issuance of the warrant for payment thereof).

 

It shall be a default hereunder if either: (i) any part of any of the Improvements situated on the Real Property shall be condemned by any governmental authority having jurisdiction; or (ii) lands constituting a portion of the Real Property shall be condemned by any governmental authority having jurisdiction, such that the remaining Property is in violation of applicable parking, zoning, platting, or other ordinances, or fails to comply with the terms of the Occupancy Leases with Major Tenants.  In either of said events, Lender shall be entitled to exercise any or all remedies provided or referenced in this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, including the application of condemnation proceeds to the outstanding principal balance of the Note at par, and the right to accelerate the maturity date of the Note and require payment in full without the imposition of a Prepayment Premium.

 

19.           Costs of Collection.  In the event that the Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or in the event that Lender shall become a party either as plaintiff or as defendant, in any action, suit, appeal or legal proceeding (including, without limitation, foreclosure, condemnation, bankruptcy, administrative proceedings or any proceeding wherein proof of claim is by law required to be filed), hearing, motion or application before any court or administrative body in relation to the Property or the lien and security interest granted or created hereby or herein, or for the recovery or protection of the Loan or the Property, or for the foreclosure of this Mortgage, or for the enforcement of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall indemnify, save, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by Lender on account thereof, and Borrower shall repay, on demand, all such Losses, together with interest thereon until paid at the lesser of either (a) the highest rate

 

18



 

of interest then allowed by the Laws of the State of Florida, or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, or (b) the then applicable rate of interest of the Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum; all of which sums, if unpaid, shall be added to and become a part of the Loan.

 

20.           Default Rate.  Any sums not paid when due, whether maturing by lapse of time or by reason of acceleration under the provisions of the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, and whether principal, interest or money owing for advancements pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, shall bear interest until paid at the lesser of either (a) the highest rate of interest then allowed by the Laws of the State of Florida, or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, or (b) the then applicable rate of interest of the Note plus five hundred (500) basis points per annum; all of which sums shall be added to and become apart of the Loan.

 

21.           Savings Clause.  Notwithstanding any provisions in the Note or in this Mortgage to the contrary, the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, including but not limited to Prepayment Premiums, default interest and late payment charges, shall not exceed the limits imposed by the Laws of the State of Florida or, if controlling, the Laws of the United States, relating to maximum allowable charges of interest.  Lender shall not be entitled to receive, collect or apply, as interest on the Loan, any amount in excess of the maximum lawful rate of interest permitted to be charged by any Laws.  In the event Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the Loan evidenced by the Note, If the unpaid principal balance of such Loan has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall be forthwith returned to Borrower.

 

22.           Bankruptcy, Reorganization or Assignment.  It shall be a default hereunder if Borrower or any general partner or managing member of Borrower shall: (a) elect to dissolve or liquidate its business organization or wind up its business affairs without receiving the prior written approval of Lender; (b) consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of all or a substantial part of its assets; (c) be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; (d) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) file a petition under or take advantage of any insolvency law; (f) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against Borrower or any general partner or managing member of Borrower in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding, or fail to cause the dismissal of such petition within thirty (30) days after the filing of said petition; (g) take action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or (h) if any order, judgment or decree shall be entered upon an application of a creditor of Borrower or any general partner or managing member of Borrower by a court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition seeking appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a substantial part of Borrower’s assets or any of Borrower’s general partner’s or managing member’s assets and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect for a period of thirty (30) days.

 

23.           Time is of the Essence, Monetary and Non-Monetarv Defaults.  It is understood by Borrower that time is of the essence hereof in connection with all obligations of Borrower herein and any of the other Loan Documents.

 

19



 

Lender, at its sole option, may declare the Loan, as well as all other monies secured or evidenced hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all Prepayment Premiums (to the extent permitted by the Laws of the State of Florida) and late payment charges, to be in default and forthwith due and payable, in the event:

 

(a)           Borrower defaults in the payment of any monthly installment of the Note, whether of principal or interest, or both, or in the payment of any other sums of money referred to herein or in the Note or in any of the other Loan Documents, promptly and fully when the same shall be due, without notice or demand from Lender to Borrower in regard to such Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined) and any such Monetary Default remains uncured for a period of five (5) days after Written Notice thereof has been given by Lender to Borrower, unless Lender has previously given Borrower such Written Notice for a failure to pay in the then- current Loan Year (as defined in the Note), in which event no such notice need be given and no right to cure need be afforded Borrower as to any further Monetary Default during such Loan Year.  It is understood and agreed that the agreement of Lender to provide notice and an opportunity to cure a Monetary Default does not waive Lender’s right to any late payment charge.

 

(b)           Borrower breaches or defaults on any of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of the Note, this Mortgage, or any other Loan Documents; or in the event that each and every one of said terms, covenants, conditions and agreements is not otherwise either duly, promptly and fully discharged or performed, and any such Non-Monetary Default (as hereinafter defined) remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after Written Notice thereof has been delivered from Lender to Borrower; unless such Non-Monetary Default cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, in which event Borrower shall have a reasonable period of time to complete cure, provided that action to cure such Non-Monetary Default is promptly commenced within said thirty (30) day period, and Borrower is, in Lender’s sole judgment, not diminishing  or impairing the value of the Property, and is diligently pursuing a cure to completion, but in no event longer than ninety (90) days.

 

(c)           Any representation or warranty of Borrower or of its members, general partners, principals, affiliates, agents or employees, or of any Guarantor made herein or in or in any other Loan Document, in any guaranty, or in any certificate, report, financial statement or other instrument or document furnished to Lender shall have been false or misleading in any material respect when made.

 

(d)           Any seizure or forfeiture of the Property, or any portion thereof, or Borrower’s interest therein, resulting from criminal wrongdoing or other unlawful action of Borrower, its affiliates, or any tenant in the Property under any federal, state or local law.

 

(e)           If Borrower consummates a transaction which would cause this Mortgage or Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Mortgage, the Note or the other Loan Documents to constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or result in a violation of a state statute regulating governmental plans, subjecting Lender to liability for a violation of ERISA or a state statute.

 

20



 

(f)            Any default occurs in the performance of any covenant or obligation of Borrower or any other party under any indemnity or guaranty delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan and such default continues beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods.

 

Upon the occurrence of any one of the above events, and at the option of Lender, the principal of and the interest accrued on the Loan and all other sums secured by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable as if all of said sums of money were originally stipulated to be paid on such day.  In addition, Lender may avail itself of all rights and remedies provided by law or equity, and may foreclose or prosecute a suit at law or in equity as if all monies secured hereby had matured prior to its institution, anything in this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.  Lender shall have no obligation to give Borrower notice of, or any period to cure, any Monetary Default or any Incurable Default (as hereinafter defined) prior to exercising its rights, powers, privileges and remedies.

 

As used herein, the term “Monetary Default” shall mean any default which can be cured by the payment of money such as, but not limited to, the payment of principal and interest due under the Note, or the payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums when due as provided in this Mortgage.  As used herein, the term “Non-Monetary Default” shall mean any default that is not a Monetary Default or an Incurable Default.  As used herein, the term “Incurable Default” shall mean either: (i) any voluntary or involuntary sale, assignment, mortgaging, encumbering or transfer in violation of the covenants contained herein or any of the other Loan Documents; or (ii) if Borrower, or any person or entity comprising Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor of the Loan, should breach any of the provisions of Section 22.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an environmental default, Borrower shall have a period to cure such default and such cure period will extend as long as, in the Lender’s sole judgment, the Borrower is diligently pursuing to cure said default through the governing agency’s process.

 

24.           Foreclosure.  Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder, Lender may institute an action to foreclose this Mortgage as to the amount so declared due and payable, and thereupon the Property (or any portion thereof) shall be sold according to law to satisfy and pay the same, together with all costs, expenses and allowances thereof, including, without limitation, Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees.  The Property may be sold in one parcel several parcels or groups of parcels, and Lender shall be entitled to bid at the sale, and,  if Lender is the highest bidder for the Property or any part or parts thereof, Lender shall be entitled to purchase the same.  The failure or omission on the part of Lender to exercise the option for acceleration of maturity of the Note and foreclosure of this Mortgage following any default as aforesaid or to exercise any other option or remedy granted hereunder to Lender when entitled to do so in any one or more instances, or the acceptance by Lender of partial payment of the Loan secured hereby, whether before or subsequent to Borrower’s default hereunder, shall not constitute a waiver of any such default or the right to exercise any such option or remedy, but such option or remedy shall remain continuously in force.  Acceleration of the maturity of the Note, once claimed hereunder by Lender, at the option of Lender, may be rescinded by written acknowledgment to that effect by Lender, but the tender and acceptance of partial payments alone shall not in any way either

 

21



 

affect or rescind such acceleration of maturity, nor act as a waiver, accord and satisfaction, modification, novation or similar defense.

 

25.           UCC Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of a default.  Lender may exercise its rights of enforcement with respect to the Fixtures and Personal Property under the UCC, and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights and remedies:

(e)           prior to application of proceeds of disposition of the Fixtures and Personal Property to the secured indebtedness, such proceeds shall be applied to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the Reasonable Attorneys Fees and other legal expenses incurred by Lender;

 

(f)            any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of the indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to Lender having declared all of such indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and of the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Lender, shall be taken as prirna facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited;

26.           Protection of Lender’s Security. At any time after default hereunder, Lender, or Lender’s agents or contractors, is authorized, without notice and in Lender’s sole discretion, to enter upon and take possession of the Property or any part thereof, and to perform any acts which Lender deems necessary or proper to conserve the security interest herein intended to be provided by the Property, to operate any business or businesses conducted thereon, and to collect and receive all Rents thereof and therefrom, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter.

 

27.           Appointment of Receiver.  If at any time after a default hereunder, Lender deems, in Lender’s sole discretion, that a receivership may be necessary to protect the Property or its Rents, whether before or after maturity of the Note and whether before or at the time of or after the institution of foreclosure or suit to collect the Loan or to enforce this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender, as a matter of strict right and regardless of the value of the Property or the amounts due hereunder or secured hereby, or of the solvency of any party bound for the payment of such indebtedness, shall have the right, upon ex parte application and without notice to anyone, and by any court having jurisdiction, to the appointment of a receiver to take charge of, manage, preserve, protect and operate the Property, to collect the Rents thereof, to make all necessary and needful repairs, and to pay all taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other such charges against and expenses of the Property, and to do such other acts as may by such court be authorized and directed, and after payment of the expenses of the receivership and the management of the Property, to apply the net proceeds of such receivership in reduction of the Loan or in such other manner as the said court shall direct notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or the said Loan is otherwise adequately secured.  Such receivership shall, at the option of Lender, continue until full payment of all sums hereby secured or until title to the Property shall have passed by sale under this Mortgage. Borrower hereby specifically waives its right to object to the appointment of a receiver as aforesaid, and hereby expressly agrees that such appointment shall be made as an admitted equity and as a matter of absolute right to Lender.

 

28.           Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Forbearance Not a Waiver.  The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, and Lender, as the holder of the Note and of every other obligation secured hereby, may recover judgment thereon, issue execution therefor and resort to every other right or remedy available at law or in equity, without first exhausting any right or remedy available to Lender and without affecting or impairing the security of any right or remedy afforded hereby, and no enumeration of special rights or powers by any provisions hereof shall be construed to limit any grant of general rights or powers, or to take away or limit

 

23



 

any and all rights granted to or vested in Lender by law or equity.  Borrower further agrees that no delay or omission on the part of Lender to exercise any rights or powers accruing to it hereunder shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default hereunder or an acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy granted herein or by law or equity to Lender may be exercised from time to time as often as Lender deems expedient.

 

Lender may resort to any security given by this Mortgage or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure the payment of the Loan, in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as may seem best to Lender in its sole discretion, and any such action shall not be considered as a waiver of any of the rights, benefits, liens or security interests evidenced by this Mortgage.  To the full extent Borrower may do so, Borrower agrees that Borrower will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Borrower, for Borrower and Borrower’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and all rights to a marshaling of the assets of Borrower, including the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of .alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby created.  Borrower shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the terms of this Mortgage to a sale of the Property for the collection of the secured indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Lender under the terms of this Mortgage to the payment of such indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatever.  If any law referred to in this Section and now in force, of which Borrower or Borrower’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns and such other persons claiming any interest in the Property might take advantage despite this Section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section.

 

29.  Modification Not an Impairment of Security.  Lender, without notice and without regard to the consideration, if any, paid therefor, and notwithstanding the existence at that time of any inferior mortgages, deeds of trust, or other liens thereon, may release any part of the security described herein, or may release any person or entity liable for the Loan secured hereby without in any way affecting the priority of this Mortgage, to the full extent of the Loan remaining unpaid hereunder, upon any part of the security not expressly released.  Lender may, at its option and within Lender’s sole discretion, also agree with any party obligated on the Loan, or having any interest in the security described herein, to extend the time for payment of any part or all of the Loan, and such agreement shall not, in any way, release or impair this Mortgage, but shall extend the same as against the title of all parties having any interest in said security, which interest is subject to this Mortgage.

 

24



 

30.           Property Management and Leasing.  The exclusive manager of the Property shall be Borrower, or such other manager as may be first approved in writing by Lender.  The exclusive leasing agent of the Property, if other than Borrower or the foregoing party, shall be first approved in writing by Lender.  The management and leasing contracts (or in the absence of any such written contract, a letter so stating and further identifying the name of the person or entity charged with the responsibility for managing and/or leasing the Property) shall be subordinate to this Mortgage, and satisfactory to and subject to the prior written approval of Lender throughout the term of the Loan.  Upon default in either of these requirements, then the whole of the Loan hereby secured shall, at the election of Lender, become immediately due and payable, together with any Prepayment Premium, late payment charges and all other sums required by the Note or the other Loan Documents, and Lender shall be entitled to exercise any or all remedies provided for or referenced in this Mortgage.

 

31.           Modification Not a Waiver.  In the event Lender (a) releases, as aforesaid, any part of the security described herein or any person or entity liable for the Loan; (b) grants an extension of time for the payment of the Note; (c) takes other or additional security for the payment of the Note; or (d) waives or fails to exercise any rights granted herein, in the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents, any said act or omission shall not release Borrower, subsequent purchasers of the Property or any part thereof, or makers, sureties, endorsers or guarantors of the Note, if any, from any obligation or any covenant of this Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, nor preclude Lender from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any other default then made, or any subsequent default.

 

32.           Transfer of Property or Controlling Interest in Borrower; Assumption.  Except as set forth in Section 38(b) hereof, without the prior written consent of Lender, the sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of all or any portion of the Property, or the transfer, assignment or conveyance of a controlling interest in Borrower or its general partner or managing member, or any guarantor, whether voluntary or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Lender, shall constitute a default hereunder, and entitle Lender, at Lender’s sole option, to accelerate all sums due on the Note, together with any Prepayment Premiums (to the extent permitted by the Laws of the State of Florida), late payment charges or any other amounts secured hereby.  Lender may, however, elect to waive the option to accelerate granted hereunder if,  prior to any such sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of the Property, the following conditions shall be fully satisfied: (a) Lender acknowledges in writing that, in Lender’s sole discretion, the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee and the ability and experience of the proposed transferee to operate the Property are satisfactory to Lender; (b) Lender and the proposed transferee shall enter into an agreement in writing that (i) the rate of interest payable on the Loan secured hereby shall be at such rate as Lender shall determine, (ii) the repayment schedule as set forth in the Note shall be modified by Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, to initiate amortization or modify the existing amortization schedule in order to amortize the then remaining unpaid principal balance of the Note secured hereby over a period of time as determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, without a change in the maturity date of the Note, and (iii) the proposed transferee shall assume all obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents in writing and an assumption fee, to be determined by Lender in Lender’s sole discretion, may be charged by Lender; (c) Lender shall receive, for Lender’s review and approval, copies of all transfer documents; and (d) Borrower or the

 

25



 

transferee shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with such transfer and assumption, including, without limitation, all fees and expenses incurred by Lender.

 

Borrower, or any subsequent owner of the Property or any portion thereof, shall do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its and their legal existence, franchises, rights and privileges as a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, under the laws of the State of its formation and its right to own property and transact business in the State of Florida.  It shall be a default hereunder if Borrower, or any subsequent owner of the Property or any portion thereof, shall amend, modify, transfer, assign or terminate the applicable governing documents for such entity, including its partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, operating agreement, articles of organization, regulations, articles of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be (as applicable, the “Governing Documents”), of Borrower or such subsequent owner without the prior written consent of Lender.  Borrower, or such subsequent owner of the Property, shall provide Lender with copies of any proposed amendment to its applicable Governing Documents, so that Lender may, in Lender’s sole discretion, determine whether such amendment adversely affects Lender, the Property or the security value thereof.  Provided, however, that any amendment, modification, transfer, assignment or termination of Borrower’s applicable Governing Documents or any other action pursuant to which the current general partner or managing member of Borrower shall either: (i) cease to be the general partner or managing member of Borrower; or (ii) except to the extent permitted herein, cease to own or maintain a partnership or membership interest in Borrower equal to or greater than its partnership or membership interest at the time this Mortgage is executed, shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect upon Lender and the Property, and shall be a default hereunder.

 

Borrower shall not change its name or identity in any manner which may make any financing or continuation statement filed in connection with the Loan seriously misleading within the meaning of the UCC enacted in the State of Florida or change its jurisdiction of organization unless Borrower shall have delivered to Lender written notice thereof not less than thirty (30) days before the effective date of such change and shall have taken all action which Lender determines to be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and protect Lender’s security interests and rights under this Mortgage and the perfection and priority thereof.  Borrower will not change its principal places of business unless it shall have given Lender prior written notice of its intent to do so not less than thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of such change.  Borrower shall bear all costs incurred by Lender in connection with any such change including, without limitation, Reasonable Attorney’s Fees.

 

In the event the ownership of the Property, or any part thereof, shall become vested in a person or entity other than Borrower, whether with or without the prior written consent of Lender, Lender may, without notice to Borrower, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to the Property, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, in the same manner and to the same extent as with Borrower without in any way vitiating or discharging Borrower’s liability hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents.  No sale, transfer or conveyance of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Lender and no extension of time given by Lender to Borrower for the payment of the Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Borrower, either in whole or in part, unless expressly set forth in writing executed by Lender.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,

 

26



 

Borrower hereby waives any right it now has or may hereafter have to require Lender to prove an impairment of its security as a condition to the exercise of Lender’s rights under this Section 32.

 

A sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance within the meaning of this Section shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to: (a) an installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; (b) an agreement by Borrower leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual occupancy by a tenant under an Occupancy Lease or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any leases or any Rents; (c) if Borrower, any guarantor, any indemnitor, or any general partner or managing member of Borrower, is a corporation, the voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance, transfer or pledge of such corporation’s stock (or the stock of any corporation directly or indirectly controlling such corporation by operation of law or otherwise), or the creation or issuance of new stock by which an aggregate of more than ten percent (10%) of such corporation’s stock shall be vested in a party or parties who are not now stockholders; and (d) if Borrower, any guarantor, indemnitor, or any general partner or managing member of Borrower, is a limited partnership, general partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, or joint venture, the change, removal or resignation of a general partner, managing partner, or member, or the transfer or pledge of the interest of any general partner, managing partner, or member or any profits or proceeds relating to such interest.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 32 to the contrary:

 

(A)          as long as no default, or event which, with notice or the passage of time or both, could result in a default, has occurred hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall permit: one (1) bona fide arm’s length transfer of the Property to another borrowing entity without a change in the terms of the Loan; provided, however, that no such transfer shall be valid or permitted hereunder unless: (i) Lender receives prior Written Notice of such proposed transfer; (ii) such proposed transferee and any substitute guarantor has been approved in writing by Lender (taking into consideration such factors as transferee’s creditworthiness, business experience, financial condition and managerial capabilities); (iii) if applicable, the delivery to Lender of an endorsement (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) to Lender’s policy of title insurance then insuring the lien created by this Mortgage in form and substance acceptable to Lender in its sole judgment; (iv) Lender is paid a cash assumption fee in the amount of one percent (1%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note; (v) Borrower pays all fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such transfer and assumption, including, without limitation, inspection and investigation fees, title insurance charges, and Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees; (vi) such proposed transferee assumes in writing all obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, with the same degree of liability as Borrower; and (vii) Lender approves the management agreement and leasing agreement and the management and leasing company to be employed by the proposed transferee.  Any transfer of all or any portion of the Property which does not strictly comply with the terms and conditions of the foregoing shall be a default hereunder and shall entitle Lender to exercise all rights and remedies provided in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.  This one (l)-time right of transfer shall apply to the Borrower named herein and not to any subsequent owner of the Property.

 

27



 

(B)           without limiting the generality of the fifth unnumbered paragraph of this Section 32, as long as no default which remains uncured following the giving of any required notice and the expiration of any applicable grace period, has occurred hereunder, under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall permit the transfer or distribution of partnership interests in the Borrower provided such transfer or distribution is made (i) to any other partner of Borrower (which shall include W. Douglas Pitts or Kiki L. Courtelis, either individually or as Trustee of the Courtelis Investment Trust, created under the Alec P. Courtelis Declaration of Trust, dated April 8, 1994, a Florida trust); (ii) to any member of the immediate family of any such partner including spouse, children, or grandchildren; (iii) to any trust for the benefit of any of the parties referred to in (i) or (ii) above provided that The Courtellis Company maintains management and operating control or maintains majority ownership interest of the Property and Borrower; and (iv) pursuant to operation of law upon death of a partner of Borrower.  Provided however, that no such transfer shall be valid or permitted hereunder unless: (i) Lender receives prompt Written Notice of such transfer; (ii) such transfers shall not release the original partners of Borrower and their estate from liability under the loan to the extent there was liability; (iii) the transferee(s) shall assume in writing all obligations, if any, of the respective transferor(s) under the security documents; and (iv) Borrower shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such transfer and assumption.  The transfers referred to in this Section 32(B) shall neither result in the acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, nor invoke the assumption fee referred to in Section 32(A), nor change the monthly payment due under the Note.

 

33.           Further Encumbrance Prohibited; Subrogation.  So long as the Note remains unpaid, Borrower shall not, either voluntarily or involuntarily, permit the Property or any part thereof to become subject to any secondary or subordinate lien, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever without the prior written consent of Lender, and the imposition of any such secondary lien, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or encumbrance (other than a construction lien which shall be disposed of promptly pursuant to Section 5 hereinabove) without the approval of Lender shall constitute a default hereunder, and entitle Lender, at Lender’s sole option, to declare the outstanding principal balance of the Note, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, Prepayment Premiums (to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of Florida, late payment charges and any other amounts secured hereby to be and become immediately due and payable in full.  In the event that Lender shall hereafter give its written consent to the imposition of any such secondary lien, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or other encumbrance upon the Property, Lender, at Lender’s sole option, shall be entitled to accelerate the maturity of the Note and exercise any and all remedies provided and available to Lender hereunder and in the other Loan Documents in the event that the holder of any such secondary lien or encumbrance shall institute foreclosure or other proceedings to enforce the same; it being understood and agreed that a default under any instrument or document evidencing, securing or secured by any such secondary lien or encumbrance shall be and constitute a default hereunder.  In the event all or any portion of the proceeds of the Loan are used for the purpose of retiring debt or debts secured by prior liens on the Property, Lender shall be subrogated to the rights and lien priority of the holder or holders of the lien or liens so discharged.

 

Notwithstanding the above, secondary financing of the Property shall be permitted after the second anniversary of the date of funding of the Note as long as: (i) Borrower is not in

 

28



 

default under the terms, conditions and provisions of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) the aggregate indebtedness placed upon the Property (which indebtedness shall include the Loan) does not exceed a loan to value ratio of eighty percent (80%); (iii) the net operating income generated by the Property (defined as annual rental income, minus annual taxes and all annual operating expenses) covers the annual debt service on the Note and on such secondary financing at least one and one quarter (1.25) times; (iv) the secondary financing loan documents provide for a fixed rate of interest on the secondary loan; (v) must fully amortize on a straight line basis no later than the maturity date set forth in the Note, and (vi) must be nonrecourse to the Borrower and its principals to the same extent as the Loan.  Lender shall have the right to approve the lender under any proposed secondary financing, and to review and approve any and all documentation with respect to such secondary financing.  All costs and expenses incurred in connection with such secondary financing shall be borne by Borrower.

 

34.           Conveyance of Mineral Rights Prohibited.  Borrower agrees that the making of any oil, gas or mineral lease, or the sale or conveyance of any mineral interest or right to explore for minerals under, through or upon the Property, would impair the value of the Property, and that Borrower shall have no right, power or authority to lease the Property, or any part thereof, for oil, gas or other mineral purposes, or to grant, assign or convey any mineral interest of any nature, or the right to explore for oil, gas and other minerals, without first obtaining Lender’s express written permission therefor, which permission shall not be valid until recorded among the Public Records of Broward County, in the State of Florida.  Borrower further agrees that if Borrower shall make, execute, or enter into any such lease or attempt to grant any such mineral rights without such prior written, permission of Lender, then Lender shall have the option, without notice, to declare the same to be a default hereunder, and to declare the Loan immediately due and payable in full.  Whether or not Lender shall consent to such lease or grant of mineral rights, Lender shall receive the entire consideration to be paid for any such lease or grant of mineral rights, with the same to be applied to the Loan notwithstanding the fact that the amount owing thereon may not then be due and payable or that the Loan is otherwise adequately secured; provided, however, that the acceptance of such consideration shall in no way impair the lien of this Mortgage on the Property or cure any existing Monetary Default.

 

35.           Estoppel Certification by Borrower.  Borrower, upon request of Lender therefor made either personally or by mail, shall certify in writing to Lender (or any party designated by Lender), in a form satisfactory to Lender or such designee, the amount of principal and interest then outstanding under the terms of the Note and any other sums due and owing under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, and whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Loan.  Such certification shall be made by Borrower within ten (10) days if the request is made personally, or within twenty (20) days if the request is made by mail.

 

36.           Cross Default.  The Note is also secured by the terms, conditions and provisions of the Assignment and, additionally, may be secured by contracts or agreements of guaranty or other security instruments.  The terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of each security instrument shall be considered a part hereof as fully as if set forth herein verbatim.  Any default under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents shall constitute a default hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents now or hereafter held by Lender shall not prejudice or in any manner affect the right of Lender to enforce any

 

29



 

other Loan Document; it being .understood and agreed that Lender shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents now or hereafter held by it in such order and manner as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

 

37.           Examination of Borrower’s Records.  Borrower will maintain complete and accurate books and records showing in detail the income and expenses of the Property, and will permit Lender and its agents, contractors or representatives to examine said books and records and all supporting vouchers and data during normal business hours and from time to time upon request by Lender, in such place as such books and records are customarily kept.  Borrower will furnish to Lender, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each respective fiscal period annual and semi-annual financial statements (income statements and a balance sheet) for the Borrower and the Property.  These statements shall be in form acceptable to Lender, shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and shall include a rent roll, certified as true and correct by Borrower.  The statements shall show in detail all income derived from and expenses incurred in connection with the ownership of the Property, including current annual sales figures for all Major Tenants of the Property if required under the Major Tenant leases or if such financial information is otherwise available.  In the event Borrower fails to provide such statements to Lender within the time prescribed above, Borrower shall pay Lender the sum of TWO HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($200.00) in administrative expenses for each successive month for which the statements are delinquent.  Upon a default hereunder, Lender shall have the right to require that said financial statements be audited and certified by a certified public accountant acceptable to Lender, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower.

 

In addition, at the request of Lender, but in no case more often than once a quarter or more than three (3) times during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall furnish to Lender (i) unaudited financial statements (balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and current rent roll) covering operation of the Property for periods other than those set forth in the preceding paragraph; (ii) unaudited financial statements (balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements) for Borrower, its general partner(s), shareholder’s) or member(s) (whichever is applicable) and for such other principals of Borrower as designated by Lender; and (iii) a portfolio analysis showing annualized cash flow statements (including debt service payments) for all real properties owned by Borrower, its general, partner’s), shareholder(s), or member(s) (whichever is applicable) and for such designated principals.  All such statements shall be certified to Lender to be complete, correct, and accurate by the individual (for an individual’s statements) or by an authorized representative of the entity (if statements are for a partnership, corporation or limited liability company).

 

38.           Alteration, Removal and Change in Use of Property Prohibited.  Borrower covenants and agrees to permit or suffer none of the following without the prior written consent of Lender:

 

(a)           Any structural alteration of, or addition to, the Improvements now or hereafter situated upon the Real Property, or the addition of any new buildings or other structure(s) thereto, other than the erection or removal of non-load bearing interior walls except such alterations or additions required by tenant leases; or

 

30
