Any prepayment shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid and the Breakage Amount, if any.

 

(b)                                 Any Prepayment Notice may be revoked by the Borrowers without penalty up until the date the Lender has sent a notice of prepayment to the SNH Revolving Agent under the SNH Revolving Credit Agreement with respect to the amount of Loans to be prepaid pursuant to such Prepayment Notice.  The Lender agrees not to send any such notice of prepayment to the SNH Revolving Agent more than one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment set forth in the applicable Prepayment Notice.

All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Lender of the interest rate applicable to a Loan or the amount of interest or Breakage Amount owed hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

2.07                        Evidence of Loans.

 

Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lender and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Lender the Note, in addition to such accounts or records.  The Lender may attach schedules to the Note and endorse thereon the date and amount of, and accrued interest on, the Loans and payments with respect thereto.

To secure the prompt payment and performance of all of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby collaterally assigns and pledges to the Lender a continuing security interest in all of such Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Property and in all proceeds thereof.

 

8.02                        Preservation of Property and Perfection of Security Interests.

 

Each Borrower shall, on request of the Lender, execute and deliver to the Lender all financing statements or other documents (and pay the cost of filing or recording the same in all public offices deemed necessary by the Lender), in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, necessary or desirable to perfect, keep perfected and to protect and preserve the Liens on the Property granted under the Loan Documents.  The Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to file (and sign if necessary) on behalf of each Borrower UCC or effective financing statements on the Property at any time or from time to time and any continuation statement or amendment with respect thereto, in any appropriate filing office.

 

8.03                        Remittance of Proceeds to Lender.

 

At any time an Event of Default exists, if any proceeds of any Property shall come into the possession of a Borrower, such Borrower shall hold such proceeds as the sole and exclusive property of the Lender, and as trustee for the Lender, and no later than the first Business Day following receipt, remit any proceeds constituting cash or cash items (or cause the same to be remitted), in kind to the Lender.

 

8.04                        Safekeeping of Property.

 

To the maximum extent permitted by Law, the Lender shall not be responsible for:  (a) the safekeeping of the Property; (b) any loss or damage to the Property; (c) any diminution in the value of the Property; or (d) any act or default of any other Person relating to the Property.  All risk of loss, damage, destruction or diminution in value of the Property shall be borne by the Borrowers.

 

8.05                        State of Incorporation; Name.

 

The exact legal names of each Borrower are set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement and their respective jurisdictions of organization are correctly stated in the introductory paragraph of this Agreement.  The principal place of business and chief executive office of each Borrower is 400 Centre Street, Newton, Massachusetts 02458.  No Borrower may change such office, its name or state of organization, unless such Borrower gives the Lender at least 30-days’ prior written notice thereof.

8.06                        Continuing Lien.

 

It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Liens granted under the Loan Documents (a)  shall constitute a continuing Lien securing any and all future, as well as existing, Obligations, and (b)  shall attach to after-acquired as well as existing Property of a Borrower.

 

8.07                        Possession; Sale of Property.

 

(a)                                  In addition to the rights and remedies contained in Section 7.02, while an Event of Default exists, the Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and the right (subject to any applicable Laws):

 

(i)                                     with or without notice or demand for performance and without liability for trespass, subject to the rights of lessees, if any, enter any of the Property and peaceably take possession of the same, and may take such measures as the Lender may deem necessary or proper for the care or protection thereof (including without limitation, the right to remove all or any portion of such Property);

 

(ii)                                  with or without taking such possession, may sell or cause to be sold, in one or more sales or parcels, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk, all or any portion of the Property, at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale, except at least ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to the Borrowers of the time and place of such sale or sales (and such other notices as may be required by applicable Law, if any, and which cannot be waived), which each Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges is commercially reasonable.  The Lender shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare any Property for such sale.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal that such Borrower now have or may at any time in the future have under any applicable Law now existing or hereafter enacted; and

 

(iii)                               at any such sale, the Property, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Lender (in its sole and absolute discretion) determines.  The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Property if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Property shall have been given.  The Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any such public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  In case any such sale of all or any part of the Property is made on credit or for future delivery, the Property so sold may be retained by the Lender until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof.  The Lender shall not incur any liability for the failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Property or for any delay in doing so and, in case of any such failure, shall not be under any obligation to take any action with respect thereto; provided such Property may be sold again upon like notice.

 

(b)                                 At any public sale made pursuant to this Agreement (or to the extent permitted by applicable Law at any private sale), the Lender may bid for or purchase the Property and any other security for the Obligations, free from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal and all rights of marshalling, (all said rights being also hereby waived and released by each Borrower to the fullest extent

 

21



 

permitted by applicable Law), and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Lender from the Borrowers as a credit against the purchase price, and the Lender, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such Property without further accountability to the Borrowers therefor.

 

(c)                                  As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, in connection with the exercise of any remedies, the Lender may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose on the Property and to sell the same or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.  In any action hereunder, the Lender shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver without notice, to peaceably take possession of all or any portion of the Property and to exercise such powers as the court shall confer upon the receiver.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender shall be entitled to apply, without notice to any Borrower, any cash or cash items constituting Property or proceeds thereof in its possession to payment of the Obligations.

 

8.08                        Sale following Maturity Date or Acceleration.

 

(a)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if all Obligations are not paid in full as of the Maturity Date, or if earlier, upon acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.02, then at the request of the Lender, the Borrowers will transfer to the Lender or its designee (the “New Owner”) the Acquired Facilities as follows:

 

(i)                                     if the aggregate amount of the outstanding Obligations is not more than $30.4 million, the New Owner shall only be entitled to require transfer of the first Acquired Facility listed on Schedule 1;

 

(ii)                                  if the aggregate amount of the outstanding Obligations is more than $30.4 million, but not more than $53.82 million, the New Owner shall be entitled to require transfer of the first and second Acquired Facilities listed on Schedule 1; and

 

(iii)                               if the aggregate amount of the outstanding Obligations is more than $53.82 million, the New Owner shall be entitled to require transfer of all three Acquired Facilities.

 

(b)                                 Upon transfer of an Acquired Facility the Lender will acknowledge satisfaction of the then outstanding Obligations in an amount equal to the value of such Acquired Facility set forth in Schedule 1; provided, the Acquired Facilities must be transferred in the order they appear on Schedule 1 (for example, the first listed Acquired Facility must be transferred before or simultaneously with the second listed Acquired Facility).  If the aggregate value for the Acquired Facilities transferred exceeds the then outstanding Obligations, the New Owner shall on the date of the transfer pay an amount equal to the excess in cash to the Borrowers.  If the then outstanding Obligations exceed the aggregate value of the Acquired Facilities transferred, the Borrowers shall remain liable for the deficiency and the Lender shall have and retain all rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect thereto and any remaining Property.

 

(c)                                  Contemporaneously with the transfer of an Acquired Facility pursuant to this Section 8.08, an Affiliate of FVE shall lease such Acquired Facility from the New Owner pursuant to a Lease.  The New Owner shall specify the Lease under which the Acquired Facility will be leased and all of the terms of such Lease will apply to such Acquired Facility except “Base Gross Revenues” with respect to such Acquired Facility will be the “Gross Revenues” for calendar year 2012 and the annual “Minimum Rent” for such Acquired Facility will equal 8% of the value of such Acquired Facility as set forth on

 

22



 

Schedule 1. “Base Gross Revenues”, “Gross Revenues” and “Minimum Rent” have the meanings given therefor in the applicable Lease.

 

(d)                                 The foregoing notwithstanding, the rights and obligations of the parties under this Section 8.08 shall be subject to New Owner’s obtaining all required licenses and regulatory approvals for the ownership of such Facility by the New Owner, and the parties will reasonably cooperate in the process of obtaining such licenses and approvals.

9.03                        No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

 

No failure by the Lender to exercise, and no delay by the Lender in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

9.04                        Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

 

(a)                                  Costs and Expenses.  The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Lender, filing fees, recording costs and title insurance premiums), in connection with the diligence, preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loans.

 

(b)                                 Indemnification by the Borrowers.  The Borrowers shall indemnify the Lender and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or Subsidiary arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the Lender’s agreement to make Loans or the use or intended use of the proceeds thereof), (ii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Borrower or a Subsidiary, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) result from a claim brought by a Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith or a material breach of such

 

24



 

Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if a Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (C) arose from any event occurring after the Lender or its designee have taken to the applicable Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrowers under this paragraph to such Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to the Lender, or the Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its commercially reasonable discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

 

9.06                        Successors and Assigns.

 

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

25

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  The Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic image scan transmission (e.g., “pdf” via e-mail) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

9.10                        Survival of Representations and Warranties.

 

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

 

9.11                        Severability.

 

If any provision of the Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

9.12                        Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS; WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

9.13        Arbitration.

 

(a)           Disputes.  Any disputes, claims or controversies between or among the parties hereto (i) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) brought by or on behalf of any shareholder of either the Lender or FVE (which, for purposes of this Section 9.13, shall mean any shareholder of record or any beneficial owner of shares in either the Lender or FVE, or any former shareholder of record or beneficial owner of shares of the Lender or FVE) either on his, her or its owner behalf, on behalf of either the Lender or FVE or on behalf of any series of class of shares of either the Lender or FVE against the Lender or FVE or any trustee, director officer, manager (including Reit Management & Research LLC or its successor), agent or employee of the Lender or FVE, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, including this arbitration agreement (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”) or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes, shall on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final Arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as modified herein.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party.

 

(b)           Selection of Arbitrators.  There shall be three arbitrators.  If there are only two parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within 15 days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties.  If there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator within 15 days after receipt of a demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be.  If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA.  If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten days to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within 15 days thereafter, one of the three arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator.  The two arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within 15 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

 

(c)           Location of Arbitration.  The place of Arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

 

(d)           Scope of Discovery.  There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators.

 

(e)           Arbitration Award.  In rendering an award or decision (the “Arbitration Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Any

 

27



 

arbitration proceedings or Arbitration Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this Section 9.13 shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.  The Arbitration Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.

 

(f)            Costs.  Except to the extent expressly provided by this Section 9.13 or as otherwise agreed between the parties, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees).  Each party (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third appointed arbitrator.

 

(g)           Final Judgment.  The Arbitration Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators.  Judgment upon the Arbitration Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this Section 9.13 to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(h)           Payment.  Any monetary award shall be made and payable in Dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset.  The party against which the Arbitration Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the 30th day following the date of the Arbitration Award or such other date as the Arbitration Award may provide.

 

(i)             Beneficiaries.  This Section 9.13 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the shareholders, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including Reit Management & Research LLC or its successor), agents or employees of any party and the parties and shall be binding on the shareholders of any party and the parties, as applicable, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

 

9.14        Joint and Several Liability.

 

Each and every obligation of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is the joint and several obligation of each Borrower whether or not so expressed.  Such obligations are independent, and may be enforced against any Borrower, irrespective of whether enforcement is brought against any other Borrower.  If for any reason any Borrower has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of its obligations to the Lender, or if any of the moneys payable on such obligations have become irrecoverable from a Borrower, by operation of law or otherwise, such obligations shall nevertheless be binding on each other Borrower.

WHEREAS, the Mortgagor, Five Star Quality Care, Inc. and certain subsidiaries of Five Star Quality Care, Inc., as borrowers (jointly and severally, the “Borrowers”), and the Mortgagee entered into that certain $80,000,000 Bridge Loan Agreement, dated as of May       , 2011 (the

WHEREAS, the Borrowers have executed that certain Promissory Note, dated as of                   , 2011 for the Maximum Loan Amount in favor of the Mortgagee (the “Note”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Mortgagor is obligated under the Loan Agreement to execute and deliver this Mortgage to the Mortgagee as security for the due and punctual payment and performance of all of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement and the Note (collectively, the “Obligations”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, as security for the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations, the Mortgagor, intending to be legally bound hereby, hereby mortgages and warrants to the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns forever:

 

All of the Mortgagor’s right, title and interest, in and to the following (collectively, the “Mortgaged Property”):

 

A.            Those certain parcels of land in                  County, Indiana as further described on Exhibit A, together with all appurtenances, easements, and rights of way related to such parcels of land, including, without limitation, all of the Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to any streets, alleys or rights of way adjacent thereto (the “Land”);

 

B.            The buildings, structures and other improvements located on the Land, and all fixtures and other property affixed thereto (the “Improvements”);

 

C.            All fixtures, furniture, equipment, machinery, systems and other items of personal property (other than any inventory, consumables, vehicles or similar items), which are now or hereafter attached or appurtenant to, located on or used in connection with the ownership, use, operation or maintenance of the Land and Improvements (the “FF&E”);

 

3



 

D.            All certificates of occupancy and other transferable licenses, permits, registrations, authorizations, use agreements, orders, or approvals of governmental or quasi-governmental agencies and authorities (whether federal, state, local, municipal, or foreign) or private parties relating to the ownership, construction, use, management, operation, or enjoyment of the Land, Improvements or FF&E;

 

E.             All books, records, files, and papers, whether in hard copy or electronic format, used in connection with the ownership, use, operation or maintenance of the Land, Improvements or FF&E; and

 

F.             All of the intangible property used in connection with the ownership, use, operation or maintenance of the Land, the Improvements or the FF&E (including, without limitation, any and all warranties or guaranties related to the FF&E or the Improvements and all contracts and other third-party agreements related to the operation or maintenance of the Land, Improvements or FF&E);

 

in each case whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Mortgagor; provided, however, in no event shall the Mortgaged Property include (a) any property described in clauses (C) through (F) above to the extent such property constitutes “Collateral” under the FVE Revolving Credit Agreement (as defined in the Loan Agreement) as in effect on the effective date of the Loan Agreement, or (b) the Mortgagor’s leasehold interest in any leased FF&E if the grant of a security interest therein to the Mortgagee would constitute an event of default under the applicable lease.

 

The final payment and performance of the Obligations are scheduled to become due on or before July 1, 2012, or such later date as may be established pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

The Mortgagor expressly agrees to pay and perform the Obligations, without any relief whatsoever from valuation or appraisement laws of the State of Indiana.

 

The Mortgagor shall keep the Improvements, now or hereafter erected, constantly insured for the benefit of the Mortgagee against loss by fire, windstorm and such other casualties and contingencies, in such manner and in such companies and for such amounts, as indicated in the Loan Agreement.  All proceeds from any insurance so maintained shall at the option of the Mortgagee be applied to the debt secured hereby and if payable in installments, applied in the inverse order of maturity of such installments or to the repair or reconstruction of any Improvements.

 

In the event that any or all of the Mortgaged Property shall be condemned and taken under the power of eminent domain, the Mortgagor shall give immediate written notice to the Mortgagee and the Mortgagee shall have the right to receive and collect all damages awarded by

reason of such taking, and the right to such damages hereby is assigned to the Mortgagee who shall have the discretion to apply the amount so received, or any part thereof, to the indebtedness due hereunder and if payable in installments, applied in the inverse order of maturity of such installments, or to any alteration, repair or restoration of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor.

 

The Mortgagor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Obligations include, and that this Mortgage is given to secure, advances that may be made by the Mortgagee and obligations that may be incurred by the Mortgagor in addition and subsequent to the advances evidenced by the Note (“Future Advances”) and that this Mortgage shall secure all Future Advances of every nature and kind, provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of Future Advances at any time shall not exceed 200% of the Maximum Loan Amount.  Pursuant to Indiana Code §32-29-1-10, the lien of this Mortgage with respect to any Future Advances, modifications, extensions and renewals referred to herein and made from time to time shall have the same priority to which this Mortgage otherwise would be entitled as of the date this Mortgage is executed and recorded, without regard to the fact that such Future Advance, modification, extension or renewal may occur after this Mortgage is executed.  The maximum amount stated in this paragraph is stated pursuant to and in accordance with Indiana Code §32-29-1-10 and is not and shall not be deemed to be a commitment by the Mortgagee to make Future Advances.

 

If there is an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), then, at any time thereafter (until the Event of Default is cured), the Mortgagee shall have the right to (i) foreclose the lien of this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) enforce in whole or in part every security interest granted by this Mortgage or the Loan Agreement, (iii) institute any proceeding that the Mortgagee may deem to be necessary or appropriate for the protection of its interests (including, without limitation, a proceeding for injunction or for specific performance with respect to the terms and conditions of this Mortgage and the Loan Agreement, (iv) cure the Event of Default for the account of the Mortgagor (including, without limitation, paying any delinquent taxes, assessments, and premiums for the policies of insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor under the Loan Agreement), and/or (v) exercise any other right or remedy granted under the Loan Agreement or otherwise available at law or in equity.  All costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in exercising or enforcing any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall be paid by the Mortgagor upon demand by the Mortgagee, together with interest thereon from the date of demand until payment in full at the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and constitute a part of the Obligations.

 

This Mortgage is intended to be a security agreement pursuant to the Indiana Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) for (i) any and all items of personal property specified above as part of the Mortgaged Property which, under applicable law, may be subject to a security interest pursuant to the UCC and which are not herein effectively made part of the real property, and (ii) any and all items of property specified above as part of the Mortgaged Property which, under

 

5



 

applicable law, constitute fixtures and may be subject to a security interest under Article 9.1 of the UCC, and the Mortgagor hereby grants the Mortgagee a security interest in said property, and in all additions thereto, substitutions therefore and proceeds thereof, for the purpose of securing all Obligations now or hereafter secured by this Mortgage.  The Mortgagor hereby authorizes the Mortgagee to file financing statements and continuation statements to perfect the Mortgagee’s security interest in said property.  The Mortgagor shall pay (i) all costs of filing such statements and renewals and releases thereof, and (ii) all costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements the Mortgagee may reasonably require.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), the Mortgagee shall have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, as well as all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, and, at the Mortgagee’s option, the Mortgagee may also invoke the rights and remedies provided elsewhere in this Mortgage as to such property.  This Mortgage constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under the UCC in the real estate records of the county in which the Mortgaged Property is located with respect to any and all fixtures included within the term “Mortgaged Property” and with respect to any goods or other personal property that may now be or hereafter become such a fixture.

And the said Grantor does hereby covenant and agree with the Trustee as follows:

 

1.               INSURANCE.  The Grantor shall keep the Improvements, now or hereafter erected, constantly insured for the benefit of the Beneficiary against loss by fire, windstorm and such other casualties and contingencies, in such manner and in such companies and for such amounts, as indicated in the Loan Agreement.  All proceeds from any insurance so maintained shall at the option of the Beneficiary be applied to the debt secured hereby and if payable in installments, applied in the inverse order of maturity of such installments or to the repair or reconstruction of any Improvements.

 

2.               TAXES, ASSESSMENTS, CHARGES. The Grantor shall pay all taxes, assessments and charges as may be lawfully levied against said Property as required pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

 

3.               CONDEMNATION.  In the event that any or all of the Property shall be condemned and taken under the power of eminent domain, the Grantor shall give immediate written notice to the Beneficiary and the Beneficiary shall have the right to receive and collect all damages awarded by reason of such taking, and the right to such damages hereby is assigned to the Beneficiary who shall have the discretion to apply the amount so received, or any part thereof, to the indebtedness due hereunder and if payable in installments, applied in the inverse order of maturity of such installments, or to any alteration, repair or restoration of the Property by the Grantor.

 

4.               SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEE.  The Grantor and the Trustee covenant and agree to and with the Beneficiary that in case the said Trustee, or any successor trustee, shall die, become incapable of acting, renounce his trust, or for any reason the Beneficiary desires to replace said Trustee, then the Beneficiary may appoint, in writing, a trustee to take the place of the Trustee; and upon the such appointment, the trustee thus appointed shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the Trustee.

 

5.               ADVANCEMENTS.  If the Grantor shall fail to perform any of the covenants or obligations contained herein or in any other instrument given as additional security for the Obligations secured hereby, the Beneficiary may, but without obligation, make advances to perform such covenants or obligations, and all such sums so advanced shall be added to the principal sum, shall bear interest at the rate provided in the Loan Agreement for sums due after default and shall be due from the Grantor on demand of the Beneficiary.  No advancement or anything contained in this paragraph shall constitute a waiver by the Beneficiary or prevent such failure to perform (after the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period) from constituting an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.

 

6.               INDEMNITY.  If any suit or proceeding be brought against the Trustee or the Beneficiary or arising out of this Deed of Trust or the Loan Agreement, or if any suit or proceeding be brought which may, in the Beneficiary’s commercially reasonable judgment, affect the value or title of the Property, the Grantor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless and on demand reimburse the Trustee or the

 



 

Beneficiary from any actual loss, cost, damage or expense incurred by reason thereof, and any sums expended by the Trustee or the Beneficary shall bear interest as provided in the Loan Agreement for sums due after default and shall be due and payable on demand.

 

7.               WAIVERS.  The Grantor waives all rights to require marshalling of assets by the Trustee or the Beneficiary.  No delay or omission of the Trustee or the Beneficiary in the exercise of any right, power or remedy arising under the Loan Agreement, the Note or this Deed of Trust shall be deemed a waiver of any default or aquiescence therein or shall impair or waive the exercise of such right, power or remedy by the Trustee or the Beneficiary at any other time.

 

8.               CIVIL ACTION.  In the event that the Trustee is named as a party to any civil action as the Trustee in this Deed of Trust, the Trustee shall be entitled to employ an attorney at law, including himself if he is a licensed attorney, to represent him in said action and the reasonable attorney’s fee of the Trustee in such action shall be paid by the Beneficiary and added to the principal of the Note and bear interest at the rate provided in the Loan Agreement for sums due after default.

 

9.               CREATION OF SECURITY INTERESTS.  This Deed of Trust shall constitute a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of North Carolina, N.C.G.S. 25-9-101, et seq (the “UCC”).  By executing and delivering this Deed of Trust, the Grantor hereby expressly grants to the Beneficiary, as security for the Obligations, a security interest in the personal property encumbered hereby (the “Personal Property”), for the purpose of securing the Obligations, to the full extent that such Personal Property may be subject to the UCC, but subject to the rights of the beneficiary of any deed of trust senior in priority to this Deed of Trust.  At the Beneficiary’s request, the Grantor will join the Beneficiary in executing one or more financing statements and renewals and amendments thereof pursuant to the UCC, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Beneficiary and will pay all costs of filing thereof.  Certain items of the Personal Property are, may, or will become attached to the real property that is encumbered by this Deed of Trust.  It is intended that the filing for record of this Deed of Trust will make it effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing within the meaning of the UCC.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deed of Trust, if, in the event of a foreclosure (whether judicial or non-judicial) of this Deed of Trust, less than all of the Personal Property subject to this security interest is sold at foreclosure, that portion of the Personal Property not sold shall continue to remain subject to the security interest granted hereby.

 



 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Grantor has caused this instrument to be signed in its corporate name by its duly authorized officers and its seal to be hereunto affixed by authority of its Board of Directors, the day and year first above written.
