ARTICLE 3. ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES
3.1 | ASSIGNMENT. Mortgagor irrevocably assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagors right, title and interest in, to and under: (a) all present and future leases of the Property or any portion thereof, all licenses and agreements relating to the management, leasing or operation of the Property or any portion thereof, and all other agreements of any kind relating to the use or occupancy of the Property or any portion thereof, whether such leases, licenses and agreements are now existing or entered into after the date hereof (Leases); and (b) the rents, issues, deposits and profits of the Property, including, without limitation, all amounts payable and all rights and benefits accruing to Mortgagor under the Leases (Payments). The term Leases shall also include all guarantees of and security for the tenants performance thereunder, and all amendments, extensions, renewals or modifications thereto which are permitted hereunder. This is a present and absolute assignment, not an assignment for security purposes only, and Mortgagees right to the Leases and Payments is not contingent upon, and may be exercised without possession of, the Property. |
3.2 | GRANT OF LICENSE. Mortgagee confers upon Mortgagor a revocable license (License) to collect and retain the Payments as they become due and payable, until the occurrence of a Default (as hereinafter defined). Upon a Default, the License shall be automatically revoked and Mortgagee may collect and apply the Payments pursuant to the terms hereof without notice and without taking possession of the Property. All Payments thereafter collected by Mortgagor shall be held by Mortgagor as trustee under a constructive trust for the benefit of Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the tenants under the Leases to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by Mortgagee for the payment to Mortgagee of any rental or other sums which may at any time become due under the Leases, or for the performance of any of the tenants undertakings under the Leases, and the tenants shall have no right or duty to inquire as to whether any Default has actually occurred or is then existing. Mortgagor hereby relieves the tenants from any liability to Mortgagor by reason of relying upon and complying with any such notice or demand by Mortgagee. Mortgagee may apply, in its sole discretion, any Payments so collected by Mortgagee against any Secured Obligation or any other obligation of Borrower, Mortgagor or any other person or entity, under any document or instrument related to or executed in connection with the Loan Documents, whether existing on the date hereof or hereafter arising. Collection of any Payments by Mortgagee shall not cure or waive any Default or notice of Default or invalidate any acts done pursuant to such notice. If and when no Default exists, Mortgagee shall re-confer the License upon Mortgagor until the occurrence of another Default. |
3.3 | EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT. The foregoing irrevocable assignment shall not cause Mortgagee to be: (a) a mortgagee in possession; (b) responsible or liable for the control, care, management or repair of the Property or for performing any of the terms, agreements, undertakings, obligations, representations, warranties, covenants and conditions of the Leases; (c) responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants under any of the Leases or by any other parties; for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property; or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee, invitee or other person; or (d) responsible for or impose upon Mortgagee any duty to produce rents or profits. Mortgagee shall not directly or indirectly be liable to Mortgagor or any other person as a consequence of: (e) the exercise or failure to exercise any of the rights, remedies or powers granted to Mortgagee hereunder; or (f) the failure or refusal of Mortgagee to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of Mortgagor arising under the Leases. |
3.4 | COVENANTS-LONG TERM LEASES. |
a. | All Leases. Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagors sole cost and expense: |
(i) | perform all obligations of the landlord under the Leases and use reasonable efforts to enforce performance by the tenants of all obligations of the tenants under the Leases; |
4
(ii) | use reasonable efforts to keep the Property leased at all times to tenants which Mortgagor reasonably and in good faith believes are creditworthy at rents not less than the fair market rental value (including, but not limited to, free or discounted rents to the extent the market so requires); |
(iii) | promptly upon Mortgagees request, deliver to Mortgagee a copy of each requested Lease and all amendments thereto and waivers thereof; and |
(iv) | promptly upon Mortgagees request, (A) execute and record any additional assignments of landlords interest under any Lease to Mortgagee, and (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a subordinations, non-disturbance and attornment agreement for any new Lease entered into by Mortgagor, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee. |
Unless consented to in writing by Mortgagee or otherwise permitted under any other provision of the Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall not:
(v) | grant any tenant under any Lease any option, right of first refusal or other right to purchase all or any portion of the Property under any circumstances; |
(vi) | grant any tenant under any Lease any right to prepay rent more than 1 month in advance; |
(vii) | except upon Mortgagees request, execute any assignment of landlords interest in any Lease; or |
(viii) | collect rent or other sums due under any Lease in advance, other than to collect rent 1 month in advance of the time when it becomes due. |
Any such attempted action in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be null and void.
Mortgagor shall deposit with Mortgagee any sums received by Mortgagor in consideration of any termination, modification or amendment of any Lease or any release or discharge of any tenant under any Lease from any obligation thereunder and any such sums received by Mortgagor shall be held in trust by Mortgagor for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default exists, the portion of any such sum received by Mortgagor with respect to any Lease which is less than $50,000 shall be payable to Mortgagor. All such sums received by Mortgagee with respect to any Lease shall be deemed Impounds (as defined in Section 6.12.b) and shall be deposited by Mortgagee into a pledged account in accordance with Section 6.12.b. If no Default exists, Mortgagee shall release such Impounds to Mortgagor from time to time as necessary to pay or reimburse Mortgagor for such tenant improvements, brokerage commissions and other leasing costs as may be required to re-tenant the affected space; provided, however, Mortgagee shall have received and approved each of the following for each tenant for which such costs were incurred; (1) Mortgagors written request for such release, including the name of the tenant, the location and net rentable area of the space and a description and cost breakdown of the tenant improvements or other leasing costs covered by the request; (2) Mortgagors certification that any tenant improvements have been completed lien-free and in a workmanlike manner; (3) a fully executed Lease, or extension or renewal of the current Lease; (4) an estoppel certificate executed by the tenant including its acknowledgement that all tenant improvements have been satisfactorily completed; and (5) such other information with respect to such costs as Mortgagee may require. Following the re-tenanting of all affected space (including, without limitation, the completion of all tenant improvements), and provided no Default exists, Mortgagee shall release any remaining such Impounds relating to the affected space to Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall construct all tenant improvements in a workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee acknowledges and agrees that, promptly following Mortgagors written request, Mortgagee shall remit to Mortgagor all Impounds deposited into the pledged account pursuant to this Section to the extent such Impounds, at any time, exceed the amount necessary to pay for the leasing costs for which such Impounds were originally deposited.
5
b. | Major Leases. Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagors sole cost and expense, give Mortgagee prompt written notice of any material default by landlord or tenant under any Major Lease (as defined below). Unless consented to in writing by Mortgagee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) or otherwise permitted under any other provision of the Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall not: |
(i) | enter into any Major Lease which (aa) is not on fair market terms (which terms may include free or discounted rent to the extent the market so requires); (bb) does not contain a provision requiring the tenant to execute and deliver to the landlord an estoppel certificate in form and substance satisfactory to the landlord promptly upon the landlords request; or (cc) allows the tenant to assign or sublet the premises without the landlords consent; |
(ii) | reduce any rent or other sums due from the tenant under any Major Lease; |
(iii) | terminate or materially modify or amend any Major Lease; or |
(iv) | release or discharge the tenant or any guarantor under any Major Lease from any material obligation thereunder. |
Any such attempted action in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be null and void.
Major Lease, as used herein, shall mean any Lease, which is, at any time: (1) a Lease of more than 20% of the total rentable area of the Property, as reasonably determined by Mortgagee; or (2) a Lease which generates a gross base monthly rent exceeding 20% of the total gross base monthly rent generated by all Leases (excluding all Leases under which the tenant is then in default), as reasonably determined by Mortgagee. Mortgagors obligations with respect to Major Leases shall be governed by the provisions of Section 3.4.a as well as by the provisions of this Section.
materially modify or amend, as used in Section 3.4.b.(iii) above, shall mean an amendment or modification to an existing Lease that changes the economic terms of the Lease in a way that decreases the effective rent per net rentable square foot (taking into account tenant improvement allowances and other concessions) payable thereunder or that shortens the total Lease term.
c. | Mortgagees Consent; Failure to Deny Request. Any written request by Mortgagee for consent pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall include (and be deemed complete if it includes) a term sheet (Term Sheet) in the form and containing the applicable information attached as Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof. Mortgagees failure to deny any written request by Mortgagor for Mortgagees consent under the provisions of Sections 3.4.a or 3.4.b within five (5) Business Days after Mortgagees receipt of such request (and all documents and information required pursuant to the Term Sheet) shall be deemed to constitute Mortgagees consent to such request. Mortgagees consent shall not be required with respect to any new lease or lease amendment entered into by Mortgagor that is consistent with the Term Sheet submitted by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, which is either approved or deemed approved by Beneficiary. However, Mortgagor shall promptly provide Mortgagee a copy of the fully executed new lease amendment or modification. |
3.5 | ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within 30 days after request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee and to any party designated by Mortgagee, estoppel certificates relating to the Leases executed by Mortgagor and by each of the tenants, in form and substance acceptable to Mortgagee; provided, however, if any tenant shall fail or refuse to so execute and deliver any such estoppel certificate upon request, Mortgagor shall use reasonable efforts to cause such tenant to execute and deliver such estoppel certificate but such tenants continued failure or refusal to do so, despite Mortgagors reasonable efforts, shall not constitute a default by Mortgagor under this Section. |
6
3.6 | RIGHT OF SUBORDINATION. Mortgagee may at any time and from time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose unilaterally subordinate the lien of this Mortgage to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Mortgagor, any tenant or any other person. Notice is hereby given to each tenant under a Lease of such right to subordinate. No subordination referred to in this Section shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lienholder. Nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating this Mortgage to any Lease. |
ARTICLE 4. SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FIXTURE FILING
4.1 | SECURITY INTEREST. Mortgagor grants and assigns to Mortgagee a security interest to secure payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations, in all of the following described personal property in which Mortgagor now or at any time hereafter has any interest (Collateral): |

As to all of the above-described personal property which is or which hereafter becomes a fixture under the Florida Uniform Commercial Code (the UCC), this Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing under Florida Statutes Section 679.313 and 679.402, as amended and recodified from time to time, this Mortgage shall constitute a Fixture Filing recorded in the real estate records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to create any lien or interest in favor of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage in any such Collateral which is not a fixture, and the purpose of this Article IV is to create a fixture filing under Florida Statutes Section 679.313 and 679.402, as amended or recodified from time to time.
4.2 | COVENANTS. Mortgagor agrees: (a) to execute and deliver such documents as Mortgagee deems necessary to create, perfect and continue the security interests contemplated hereby; (b) not to change its name, and, as applicable, its chief executive offices, its principal residence or the jurisdiction in which it is organized without giving Mortgagee at least 30 days prior written notice thereof; and (c) to cooperate with Mortgagee in perfecting all security interests granted herein and in obtaining such agreements from third parties as Mortgagee deems necessary, proper or convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or enforcement of any of Mortgagees rights hereunder. |

4.3 | RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE. In addition to Mortgagees rights as a Secured Party under the UCC, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, at any time without notice and at the expense of Mortgagor: (a) give notice to any person of Mortgagees rights hereunder and enforce such rights at law or in equity; (b) insure, protect, defend and preserve the Collateral or any rights or interests of Mortgagee therein; and (c) inspect the Collateral. Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall Mortgagee be deemed to have accepted any property other than cash in satisfaction of any obligation of Mortgagor to Mortgagee unless Mortgagee shall make an express written election of said remedy under the UCC or other applicable law. |
4.4 | RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE UPON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of a Default, then in addition to all of Mortgagees rights as a Secured Party under the UCC or otherwise at law: |
a. | Disposition of Collateral. Mortgagee may: (i) upon written notice, require Mortgagor to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee at a place designated by Mortgagee; (ii) without prior notice, enter upon the Property or other place where the Collateral may be located and take possession of, collect, sell, lease, license and otherwise dispose of the Collateral, and store the same at locations acceptable to Mortgagee at Mortgagors expense; or (iii) sell, assign and deliver the Collateral at any place or in any lawful manner and bid and become purchaser at any such sales; and |

Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that a disposition of the Collateral in accordance with Mortgagees rights and remedies as heretofore provided is a disposition thereof in a commercially reasonable manner and that 10 days prior notice of such disposition is commercially reasonable notice. Mortgagee shall have no obligation to process or prepare the Collateral for sale or other disposition. In disposing of the Collateral, Mortgagee may disclaim all warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be applied by Mortgagee first to the reasonable expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith, including, without limitations, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements, and then to the payment of the Secured Obligations, in such order of application as Mortgagee may from time to time elect.
4.5 | POWER OF ATTORNEY. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee as Mortgagors attorney-in-fact (such agency being coupled with an interest), and as such attorney-in-fact, Mortgagee may, without the obligation to do so, in Mortgagees name or in the name of Mortgagor, prepare, execute, file and record financing statements, continuation statements, applications for registration and like papers necessary to create, perfect or preserve any of Mortgagees security interests and rights in or to the Collateral, and upon a Default, take any other action required of Mortgagor; provided, however, that Mortgagee as such attorney-in-fact shall be accountable only for such funds as are actually received by Mortgagee. |

Neither Mortgagees nor any receivers entry upon and taking possession of all or any part of the Property, nor any collection of rents, issues, profits, insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds or damages, other security or proceeds of other security, or other sums, nor the application of any collected sum to any Secured Obligation, nor the exercise of any other right or remedy by Mortgagee or any receiver shall cure or waive any Default or notice of default under this Mortgage, or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale (unless all Secured Obligations then due have been paid or performed and Mortgagor has cured all other Defaults hereunder), or impair the status of the security, or prejudice Mortgagee in the exercise of any right or remedy, or be construed as an affirmation by Mortgagee of any tenancy, lease or option or a subordination of the lien of this Mortgage. |
7.7 | PAYMENT OF COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS FEES. Mortgagor agrees to pay to Mortgagee immediately and upon demand all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Mortgage (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys fees, whether incurred in litigation or not) with interest from the date of expenditure until said sums have been paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Note as specified therein. |

ARTICLE 8. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
8.1 | ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. The Loan Documents contain or incorporate by reference the entire agreement of the parties with respect to matters contemplated herein and supersede all prior negotiations. The Loan Documents grant further rights to Mortgagee and contain further agreements and affirmative and negative covenants by Mortgagor which apply to this Mortgage and to the Property and such further rights and agreements are incorporated herein by this reference. THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF MORTGAGOR UNDER THIS MORTGAGE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 8 IN THE NOTE ENTITLED BORROWERS LIABILITY. |
8.2 | NON-WAIVER. By accepting payment of any amount secured hereby after its due date or late performance of any other Secured Obligation, Mortgagee shall not waive its right against any person obligated directly or indirectly hereunder or on any Secured Obligation, either to require prompt payment or performance when due of all other sums and obligations so secured or to declare default for failure to make such prompt payment or performance. No exercise of any right or remedy by Mortgagee hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy herein contained or provided by law. No failure by Mortgagee to exercise any right or remedy hereunder arising upon any Default shall be construed to prejudice Mortgagees rights or remedies upon the |
27
occurrence of any other or subsequent Default. No delay by Mortgagee in exercising any such right or remedy shall be construed to preclude Mortgagee from the exercise thereof at any time while that Default is continuing. No notice to nor demand on Mortgagor shall of itself entitle Mortgagor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
8.3 | CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Wherever Mortgagees consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction is required under any provision of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, such consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Mortgagee unless such provision expressly so provides. |
8.4 | PERMITTED CONTESTS. After prior written notice to Mortgagee, Mortgagor may contest, by appropriate legal or other proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount, validity or application, in whole or in part, of any lien, levy, tax or assessment, or any lien of any laborer, mechanic, materialman, supplier or vendor, or the application to Mortgagor or the Property of any law or the validity thereof, the assertion or imposition of which, or the failure to pay when due, would constitute a Default; provided that (a) Mortgagor pursues the contest diligently, in a manner which Mortgagee determines is not prejudicial to Mortgagee, and does not impair the lien of this Mortgage; (b) the Property, or any part hereof or estate or interest therein, shall not be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such proceedings; (c) in the case of the contest of any law or other legal requirement, Mortgagee shall not be in any danger of any civil or criminal liability; and (d) if required by Mortgagee, Mortgagor deposits with Mortgagee any funds or other forms of assurance (including a bond or letter of credit) satisfactory to Mortgagee to protect Mortgagee from the consequences of the contest being unsuccessful. Mortgagors right to contest pursuant to the terms of this provision shall in no way relieve Mortgagor or Borrower of its obligations under the Loan or to make payments to Mortgagee as and when due. |
8.5 | FURTHER ASSURANCES. Mortgagor shall, upon demand by Mortgagee, execute, acknowledge (if appropriate) and deliver any and all documents and instruments and do or cause to be done all further acts reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of the Loan Documents and to perfect any assignments contained therein. |
8.6 | ATTORNEYS FEES. If any legal action, suit or proceeding is commenced between Mortgagor and Mortgagee regarding their respective rights and obligations under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to damages or other relief, costs and expenses, reasonable attorneys fees and court costs (including, without limitation, expert witness fees). As used herein the term prevailing party shall mean the party which obtains the principal relief it has sought, whether by compromise settlement or judgment. If the party which commenced or instituted the action, suit or proceeding shall dismiss or discontinue it without the concurrence of the other party, such other party shall be deemed the prevailing party. |
8.7 | MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE DEFINED. The term Mortgagor includes both the original Mortgagor and any subsequent owner or owners of any of the Property, and the term Mortgagee includes the original Mortgagee and any future owner or holder, including assignees, pledges and participants, of the Note or any interest therein. |
8.8 | DISCLAIMERS. |
a. | Nominee Capacity of MERS. MERS serves as mortgagee of record and secured party solely as nominee, in an administrative capacity, for Lender and its successors and assigns and only holds legal title to the interests granted, assigned, and transferred herein. All payments or deposits with respect to the Secured Obligations shall be made to Lender, all advances under the Loan Documents shall be made by Lender, and all consents, approvals, or other determinations required or permitted of Mortgagee herein shall be made by Lender. MERS shall at all times comply with the instructions of Lender and its successors and assigns. If necessary to comply with law or custom, MERS (for the |
28
benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns) may be directed by Lender to exercise any or all of those interests, including without limitation, the right to foreclose and sell the Property, and take any action required of Lender, including without limitation, a release, discharge or reconveyance of this Mortgage. Subject to the foregoing, all references herein to Mortgagee shall include Lender and its successors and assigns.
b. | Relationship. The relationship of Mortgagor and Mortgagee under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender; (the role of MERS hereunder being solely that of nominee as set forth in subsection (a) above and not that of a lender); and Mortgagee neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Mortgagor or to any third party with respect to the Property. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents: (i) Mortgagee is not, and shall not be construed to be, a partner, joint venturer, member, alter ego, manager, controlling person or other business associate or participant of any kind of Mortgagor, and Mortgagee does not intend to ever assume such status; (ii) Lenders activities in connection with this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall not be outside the scope of activities of a lender of money within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 3434, as amended or recodified from time to time, and Mortgagee does not intend to ever assume any responsibility to any person for the quality, suitability, safety or condition of the Property; and (iii) Mortgagee shall not be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Mortgagor. |
c. | No Liability. Mortgagee shall not be directly or indirectly liable or responsible for any loss, claim, cause of action, liability, indebtedness, damage or injury of any kind or character to any person or property arising from any construction on, or occupancy or use of, the Property, whether caused by or arising from: (i) any defect in any building, structure, grading, fill, landscaping or other improvements thereon or in any on-site or off-site improvement or other facility therein or thereon; (ii) any act or omission of Mortgagor or any of Mortgagors agents, employees, independent contractors, licensees or invitees; (iii) any accident in or on the Property or any fire, flood or other casualty or hazard thereon; (iv) the failure of Mortgagor or any of Mortgagors licensees, employees, invitees, agents, independent contractors or other representatives to maintain the Property in a safe condition; or (v) any nuisance made or suffered on any part of the Property. |
8.9 | SEVERABILITY. If any term of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Mortgage or such other Loan Document, or the application of such term to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Mortgage or such other Loan Document shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. |
8.10 | RELATIONSHIP OF ARTICLES. The rights, remedies and interests of Mortgagee under the Mortgage established by Article 1 and the security agreement established by Article 4 are independent and cumulative, and there shall be no merger of any lien created by the Mortgage with any security interest created by the security agreement. Mortgagee may elect to exercise or enforce any of its rights, remedies or interests under either or both the Mortgage or the security agreement as Mortgagee may from time to time deem appropriate. The absolute assignment of rents and leases established by Article 3 is similarly independent of and separate from the Mortgage and the security agreement. |
8.11 | MERGER. No merger shall occur as a result of Mortgagees acquiring any other estate in, or any other lien on, the Property unless Mortgagee consents to a merger in writing. |
8.12 | OBLIGATIONS OF MORTGAGOR, JOINT AND SEVERAL. If more than one person has executed this Mortgage as Mortgagor, the obligations of all such persons hereunder shall be joint and several. |
29
8.13 | SEPARATE AND COMMUNITY PROPERTY. Any married person who executes this Mortgage as a Mortgagor agrees that any money judgment which Mortgagee obtains pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage or any other obligation of that married person secured by this Mortgage may be collected by execution upon any separate property or community property of that person. |
8.14 | INTEGRATION; INTERPRETATION. The Loan Documents contain or expressly incorporate by reference the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters contemplated therein and supersede all prior negotiations or agreements, written or oral. The Loan Documents shall not be modified except by written instrument executed by all parties. Any reference in any of the Loan Documents to the Property or Collateral shall include all or any part of the Property or Collateral. Any reference to the Loan Documents includes any amendments, renewals or extensions now or hereafter approved by Mortgagee in writing. When the identity of the parties or other circumstances make it appropriate, the masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural. |
8.15 | CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note. |
8.16 | SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST. The terms, covenants, and conditions contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties. The foregoing sentence shall not be construed to permit Mortgagor to assign the Loan except as otherwise permitted under the Note or the other Loan Documents. |
8.17 | GOVERNING LAW. This Mortgage was accepted by Mortgagee in the state of California and the proceeds of the Note secured hereby were disbursed from the state of California, which state the parties agree has a substantial relationship to the parties and to the underlying transaction embodied hereby. Accordingly, in all respects, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, matters of construction, validity, enforceability and performance, this Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents and the obligations arising hereunder and thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of California applicable to contracts made and performed in such state and any applicable law of the United States of America, except that at all times the provisions for all remedies granted hereunder and the creation, perfection and enforcement of the liens and security interests created pursuant hereto and pursuant to the other Loan Documents in any Collateral which is located in the state where the Property is located shall be governed by and construed according to the law of the state where the Property is located. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Mortgagor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim to assert that the law of any jurisdiction other than California governs this Mortgage, the Note and other Loan Documents. |
8.18 | CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. Mortgagor irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of: (a) any state or federal court sitting in the state of California over any suit, action, or proceeding, brought by Mortgagor against Mortgagee, arising out of or relating to this Mortgage, the Note or the Loan; (b) any state or federal court sitting in the state where the Property is located or the state in which Mortgagors principal place of business is located over any suit, action or proceeding, brought by Mortgagee against Mortgagor, arising out of or relating to this Mortgage, the Note or the Loan; and (c) any state court sitting in the county of the state where the Property is located over any suit, action, or proceeding, brought by Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage or any action brought by Mortgagee to enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral. Mortgagor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Mortgagor may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. |
8.19 | EXHIBITS. Exhibit A is incorporated into this Mortgage by this reference. |
8.20 | ADDRESSES; REQUEST FOR NOTICE. All notices and other communications that are required or permitted to be given to a party under this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents shall be in writing, refer to |
