Section 5.7 Splitting of Mortgage. This Security Instrument and the Note shall, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the sole election of Lender, be split or divided into two or more notes and two or more security instruments, each of which shall cover all or a portion of the Property to be more particularly described therein. To that end, Borrower, upon written request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the then owner of the Property, to Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and security instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid principal amount of the Note, and containing terms, provisions and clauses similar to those contained herein and in the Note, and such other documents and instruments as may be required by Lender.

All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender and shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
Section 8.4 Actions and Proceedings. Lender or Trustee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property.
Section 8.5 Recovery of Sums Required To Be Paid. Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender or Trustee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for an Event of Default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
12
Section 8.6 Other Rights, etc. (a) The failure of Lender or Trustee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender or Trustee to comply with any request of Borrower or any Guarantor to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender or Trustee extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.
(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Borrower, and neither Lender nor Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Lender or Trustee shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to the Property or any other Property not in Lender’s or Trustee’s possession.
(c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender or Trustee may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender or Trustee thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender and Trustee under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender or Trustee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Neither Lender nor Trustee shall be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
Section 8.7 Right to Release Any Portion of the Property. Lender may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.
Section 8.8 Violation of Laws. If the Property is not in compliance with Legal Requirements, Lender may impose additional requirements upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.
Section 8.9 Right of Entry. Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times.
13
Section 8.10 Subrogation. If any or all of the proceeds of the Note have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness heretofore existing against the Property, then, to the extent of the funds so used, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests existing against the Property heretofore held by, or in favor of, the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests, if any, are not waived but rather are continued in full force and effect in favor of Lender and are merged with the lien and security interest created herein as cumulative security for the repayment of the Debt, and the performance and discharge of the Obligations.
Section 8.11 Recourse and Choice of Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Instrument, Lender and other Indemnified Parties are entitled to enforce the obligations of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents without first resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and without first having recourse to the Note or any of the Property, through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and in the event Lender commences a foreclosure action against the Property, Lender is entitled to pursue a deficiency judgment with respect to such obligations against Borrower. Borrower is fully and personally liable for the obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents. The liability of Borrower is not limited to the original principal amount of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent Lender from foreclosing or exercising any other rights and remedies pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, whether simultaneously with foreclosure proceedings or in any other sequence. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Borrower, whether or not action is brought against any other Person or whether or not any other Person is joined in the action or actions.

CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION
Section 14.1 Cross-Collateralization. Borrower acknowledges that the Debt is secured by this Security Instrument together with those additional Security Instruments given by Borrower and/or certain Affiliates of Borrower to Lender, together with their respective Assignments of Leases and other Loan Documents securing or evidencing the Debt, and encumbering the other Individual Properties, all as more specifically set forth in the Loan Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to institute a proceeding or proceedings for the total or partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument and any or all of the other Security Instruments whether by court action, power of sale or otherwise, under any applicable provision of law, for all of the Debt or the portion of the Debt allocated to the Property, and the lien and the security interest created by the other Security Instruments shall continue in full force and effect without loss of priority as a lien and security interest securing the payment of that portion of the Debt then due and payable but still outstanding. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Property and the other Individual Properties are located in one or more States and counties, and therefore Lender shall be permitted to enforce payment of the Debt and the performance of any term, covenant or condition of the Note, this Security Instrument, the Loan Documents or the other Security Instruments and exercise any and all rights and remedies under the Note, this Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents or the other Security Instruments, or as provided by law or at equity, by one or more proceedings, whether contemporaneous, consecutive or both, to be determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, in any one or more of the States or counties in which the Property or any other Individual Property is located. Neither the acceptance of this Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents or the other Security Instruments nor the enforcement thereof in any one State or county, whether by court action, foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, shall prejudice or in any way limit or preclude enforcement by court action, foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of the Note, this Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents, or any other Security Instruments through one or more additional proceedings in that State or county or in any other State or county. Any and all sums received by Lender under the Note, this Security Instrument, and the other Loan Documents shall be applied to the Debt in such order and priority as Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion, without regard to the Allocated Loan Amount for the Property or any other Individual Property or the appraised value of the Property or any Individual Property.
ARTICLE 15
STATE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Section 15.1 Inconsistencies. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Article 15 and the other provisions of this Security Instrument, the terms and conditions of this Article 15 shall control and be binding.
Section 15.2 Secured Debt. It is understood and agreed that this Security Instrument shall secure payment of not only the Debt evidenced by the Note but also any and all substitutions, replacements, renewals and extensions of the Note, any and all Debt and Obligations arising pursuant to the terms hereof and any and all Debt and Obligations arising pursuant to the terms of any of the other Loan Documents, all of which Debt is equally secured with and has the same priority as any amounts advanced to Borrower as of the date hereof. This Security Instrument secures all present advances made by Lender to Borrower under the Note, and all future advances and readvances to be made pursuant to the Loan Documents. The amount of the present advances secured hereby is One Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00). The maximum principal amount that may be secured by this Security Instrument at any one time is 125% of the principal amount of the Loan as of the Closing Date. The period within which future advances may be made and future obligations may be incurred shall not be more than thirty (30) years from the date of this Security Instrument. The provisions of this Section 15.2 are intended to comply with Article 7 of Chapter 45 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
16
Section 15.3 Foreclosure.
(a) Should Lender have elected to accelerate the Debt, Lender may initiate foreclosure of the Property by requesting the Trustee to effectuate a non-judicial foreclosure sale in accordance with Article 2A of Chapter 45 of the North Carolina General Statutes. For purposes of this Section 15.3, the term “Property” is limited to the Land and Improvements thereon. Trustee, upon the written request of Lender, shall be authorized and empowered, in accordance with applicable law relating to non-judicial foreclosure sales then in effect, including the giving of Notice of Hearing, if any, then required by law, to foreclose the lien of this Security Instrument under power of sale, and sell and dispose of the Property en masse or in separate parcels (as Lender may elect) and all the right, title and interest of Borrower therein, by sale to the highest bidder at any place then authorized by law as may be specified in the notice of such sale. Upon final completion of such sale, Trustee shall execute a conveyance of the Property, or applicable portion thereof, to the purchaser. Borrower hereby waives all right to the marshalling of Borrower’s assets encumbered by this Security Instrument and all rights to require the Property to be sold in several parcels. The purchaser at the sale shall not be responsible for the application of the proceeds. Nothing herein dealing with foreclosure procedures which specifies any particular actions to be taken by Trustee or Lender shall be deemed to contradict the requirements and procedures (now or hereafter existing) of North Carolina law and any such contradiction shall be resolved in favor of North Carolina law applicable at the time of foreclosure. The sale or sales by Trustee of less than the whole of the Property shall not exhaust the power of sale herein granted, and Trustee is specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales under such power until the whole of the Property shall be sold, and if the proceeds of such sale or sales of less than the whole of the Property shall be less than the aggregate of the Debt and the expenses thereof, this Security Instrument and the lien, security interest and assignment hereof shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Property just as though no sale or sales had been made; provided, however, that Borrower shall never have any right to require the sale or sales of less than the whole of the Property, but Lender shall have the right, at its sole election, to request Trustee to sell less than the whole of the Property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the holder of the Debt or any part thereof on which the payment is delinquent shall have the option to proceed with foreclosure in satisfaction of such item either through non-judicial or judicial proceedings or by directing Trustee to proceed as if under a full foreclosure, conducting the sale as herein provided without declaring the entire Debt due, and if sale is made because of non-payment of an installment, or a part of any installment, such sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the Debt and it is agreed that such sale, if so made, shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the Debt, but as to such unmatured part this Security Instrument shall remain in full force and effect as though no sale had been made under the provisions of this subparagraph. Several sales may be made hereunder without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of the Debt. At any such sale (1) Borrower hereby agrees, in its behalf and in behalf of its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, personal representatives and assigns, that any and all recitals made in any deed of conveyance given by Trustee with respect to the identity of Lender, the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the acceleration of the maturity of any of the Debt, the request to sell, the notice of sale, the giving of notice to all debtors legally entitled thereto, the time, place, terms and manner of sale, and receipt, distribution and application of the money realized therefrom, or the due and proper appointment of a substitute Trustee, and, without being limited by the foregoing, with respect to any other act or thing having been duly done by Lender or by Trustee hereunder, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that the statements or recitals state facts and are without further question to be so accepted, and Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms every act that Trustee or any substitute Trustee hereunder may lawfully do in the premises by virtue hereof, and (2) subject to any rights of third parties, the purchaser may disaffirm any easement granted, or rental, lease or other contract made in violation of any provision of this Security Instrument, and may take immediate possession of the Property free from, and despite the terms of, such grant of easement and rental or lease contract. Lender may bid and become the purchaser of all or any part of the Property at any trustee’s or foreclosure sale hereunder, and the amount of Lender’s successful bid may be credited on the Debt. Said sale shall forever be a bar against Borrower, its heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and all other persons claiming under it. It is expressly agreed that the recitals in each conveyance to the purchaser shall be full evidence of the truth of the matters therein stated, and all lawful prerequisites to said sale shall be conclusively presumed to have been performed.
17
(b) Trustee may require minimum bids at any foreclosure sale and may cancel and abandon the sale if no bid is received equal to or greater than any such minimum bid. If foreclosure should be commenced by Trustee, Lender may at any time before the sale direct Trustee to abandon the sale for any reason, and may at any time or times thereafter direct Trustee to again commence foreclosure. Irrespective of whether foreclosure is commenced by Trustee, Lender may at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default institute suit for collection of the Debt or foreclosure of the lien of this Security Instrument. If Lender should institute suit for collection of the Debt or foreclosure of the lien of this Security Instrument, Lender may at any time before the entry of final judgment dismiss the same, and require Trustee to sell the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Security Instrument.
Section 15.4 Attorneys’ Fees. Any provisions of this Security Instrument providing for the payment of “attorney’ fees” or “reasonable attorneys’ fees” or other words or provisions of similar import, shall mean attorneys and paralegal fees incurred based upon the usual and customary hourly rates of the attorneys and paralegals involved for the time actually spent by such attorneys and paralegals and without giving effect to any statutory presumption that may then be in effect and including that under North Carolina General Statutes Section 6-21.2 but not to exceed said statutory presumption.
Section 15.5 Fixture Filing. This Security Instrument covers goods that are or are to become fixtures and shall constitute a financing statement filed as a “fixture filing” in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes Section 25-9-502. For purposes of complying with the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes Section 25-9-502, the name of Borrower, as debtor, and the name of Lender, as secured party, and the respective addresses of Borrower, as debtor, and Lender, as secured party, are set forth on the first page of this Security Instrument; the types of items covered are goods that are or are to become fixtures; and the description of the real property to which the collateral is related is described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. This Security Instrument shall be recorded in the real property records of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
ARTICLE 16
DEED OF TRUST PROVISIONS
Section 16.1 Concerning The Trustee. Trustee shall be under no duty to take any action hereunder except as expressly required hereunder or by law, or to perform any act which would involve Trustee in any expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, unless properly indemnified to Trustee’s reasonable satisfaction. Trustee, by acceptance of this Security Instrument, covenants to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable, however, only for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services rendered by Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof. Trustee may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower and to Lender. Lender may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and select a successor trustee. In the event of the death, removal, resignation, refusal to act, or inability to act of Trustee, or in its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever Lender may, without notice and without specifying any reason therefor and without applying to any court, select and appoint a successor trustee, by an instrument recorded wherever this Security Instrument is recorded and all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon become vested in such successor. Such substitute trustee shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of the duties of Trustee hereunder unless required by Lender. The procedure provided for in this Section 16.1 for substitution of Trustee shall be in addition to and not in exclusion of any other provisions for substitution, by law or otherwise.
18
Section 16.2 Trustee’s Fees. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by Trustee and Trustee’s agents and counsel in connection with the performance by Trustee of Trustee’s duties hereunder and all such costs, fees and expenses shall be secured by this Security Instrument.
Section 16.3 Certain Rights. With the approval of Lender, Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to select, employ, and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Lender) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution, and interpretation of the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through his/her agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his/her duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee, and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (iv) any and all other lawful action as Lender may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Lender’s rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Property for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting an action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual expenses incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee’s duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of Trustee’s services hereunder as shall be rendered.
Section 16.4 Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by applicable law) and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder.
Section 16.5 Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any nature be required from Borrower by any Trustee or substitute trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to the Trustee or substitute trustee such estates, rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by the Trustee or substitute trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Borrower.
Section 16.6 Succession Instruments. Any substitute trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or his/her predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Lender or of the substitute trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute trustee so appointed in the Trustee’s place.
