1. FUTURE ADVANCES; PROTECTION OF PROPERTY.

Mortgagor agrees that if, at any time during the term of this Mortgage or following a foreclosure hereof (whether before or after the entry of a judgment of foreclosure), Mortgagor fails to perform or observe any covenant or obligation under this Mortgage including, without limitation, payment of any of the foregoing, Mortgagee may (but shall not be obligated to) take such steps as are reasonably

 

3

(b) Each insurance policy required under this Section shall: (i) be written by an insurance company authorized or licensed to do business in the state within which the Property is located having an A. M. Best Company, Inc. rating of “A-” or higher and a financial size category of not less than IX; (ii) be for terms of at least one year, with premium prepaid; (iii) be subject to the reasonable approval of Mortgagee as to insurance companies, amounts, content, forms of policies and expiration dates; and (iv) name Mortgagee, its successors and assigns: (1) as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies, and (2) as the first mortgagee, under a standard non-contributory mortgagee clause, on all property insurance policies and all loss of rents or loss of business income insurance policies.

 

(c) Mortgagor further agrees that each insurance policy: (i) shall provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Mortgagee prior to any policy reduction or cancellation for any reason; (ii) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Mortgagor which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance; (iii) shall waive all rights of setoff, counterclaim, deduction or subrogation against Mortgagor; and (iv) shall exclude Mortgagee from the operation of any coinsurance clause.

 

(d) At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any insurance policy, Mortgagor shall furnish evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that such policy has been renewed or replaced or is no longer required.

 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Mortgagor fails to maintain insurance in accordance with this Section 2.3, and Mortgagee elects to obtain insurance to protect its interests hereunder, Mortgagee may obtain insurance in any amount and of any type Mortgagee deems appropriate to protect Mortgagee’s interest only and Mortgagee shall have no duty or obligation to Mortgagor to maintain insurance in any greater amount or of any other type for the benefit of Mortgagor. Mortgagee agrees to provide to Mortgagor written notice of its election to obtain insurance. All insurance premiums incurred or paid by Mortgagee shall be at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense in accordance with Section 1 hereof. Mortgagee’s election to obtain insurance shall not be deemed to waive any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) hereunder.

Mortgagor shall promptly provide to Mortgagee, upon request, copies of receipted tax bills, canceled checks or other evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee evidencing that such taxes, assessments, water and sewer rents, and other governmental charges have been timely paid. Mortgagor shall not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit on account of the Liabilities for any part of the taxes paid with respect to the Property or any part thereof and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the taxable value of the Property, or any part thereof, by reason of this Mortgage.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.6 to the extent, and only to the extent, that any transfer of the Property or any direct or indirect interest therein is permitted by the Indenture, such transfer will not be deemed a “transfer” prohibited herein.

 

2.7 No Encumbrances. Except for Permitted Encumbrances (as defined herein) and any Permitted Collateral Liens (as defined in the Indenture), Mortgagor shall not create or permit to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest (including, without limitation, a purchase money security interest), encumbrance, attachment, levy, distraint or other judicial process on or against the Property or any part thereof (including, without limitation, fixtures and other personality), whether superior or inferior to the lien of this Mortgage, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.

(b) Mortgagee, and any persons authorized by Mortgagee, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Property at any reasonable time and upon reasonable notice to inspect and photograph its condition and state of repair. In the event any such inspection reveals, in the sole discretion of Mortgagee, the necessity for any repair, alteration, replacement, clean-up or maintenance, Mortgagor shall, at the discretion of Mortgagee, either: (i) cause such work to be effected immediately; or (ii) promptly establish an interest bearing reserve fund with Mortgagee in an amount reasonably determined by Mortgagee for the purpose of effecting such work.

(c) Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceeding for the condemnation of all or any part of the Property, Mortgagor shall give notice to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall, at its sole cost and expense, diligently prosecute any such proceeding and shall consult with Mortgagee, its attorneys and experts, and shall cooperate with it in the defense of any such proceeding. Mortgagee may participate in any such proceeding and Mortgagor shall from time to time deliver to Mortgagee all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, enter into any agreement (i) for the taking or conveyance in lieu thereof of all or any part of the Property, or (ii) to compromise, settle or adjust any such proceeding. All awards and proceeds of condemnation are hereby assigned to Mortgagee, and Mortgagor, upon request by Mortgagee, agrees to make, execute and deliver any additional assignments or documents necessary from time to time to enable Mortgagee to collect the same. Such awards and proceeds shall be paid or applied by Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, to: (i) reduction of the Liabilities; (ii) restoration, replacement or repair of the Property in accordance with Mortgagee’s standard construction loan disbursement conditions and requirements; or (iii) Mortgagor.

insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are available to defray the cost of repair, restoration, rebuilding or replacement.

(i) no Event of Default or event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

(ii) Mortgagor shall have delivered evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that the Property can be fully repaired and restored prior to the maturity of the Notes;

 

(iii) no material Lease or contract is cancelable or terminable by the tenant, purchaser or Mortgagor on account of the casualty or, if it is, either (1) the tenant, purchaser or Mortgagor, as applicable, has waived in writing its right to cancel, or (2) in the event any Lease or contract is cancelled or terminated, Mortgagor has provided to Mortgagee substitute collateral in the form of cash in the amount represented by the cancelled or terminated Lease or contract;

 

(iv) the work is performed under a stipulated sum or guaranteed maximum price contract satisfactory to Mortgagee in accordance with plans and specifications and a budget satisfactory to Mortgagee and in compliance with all Legal Requirements;

 

(v) Mortgagor shall have deposited with Mortgagee for disbursement in connection with the restoration the greater of: (1) the applicable deductible under the insurance policies covering the loss; or (2) the amount by which the cost of restoration of the Property to substantially the same value, condition and character as existed prior to such damage is reasonably estimated by Mortgagee to exceed the net insurance proceeds available for restoration; and

 

(vi) Mortgagor has paid as and when due all of Mortgagee’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement of insurance proceeds, including without limitation, inspection, monitoring, engineering and legal fees. If not paid on demand, and at Mortgagee’s option, such costs may be deducted from the disbursements made by Mortgagee or added to the sums secured by this Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 hereof.

4.1 Mortgagor hereby absolutely, presently and unconditionally conveys, transfers and assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest, now existing or hereafter arising, in and to the Leases and Rents. Notwithstanding that this assignment is effective immediately, so long as no Event of Default exists, Mortgagor shall have the privilege under a revocable license granted hereby to operate and manage the Property and to collect, as they become due, but not prior to accrual, the Rents. Mortgagor shall receive and hold such Rents in trust as a fund to be applied, and Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees that such Rents shall be so applied, first to the operation, maintenance and repair of the Property and the payment of interest, principal and other sums becoming due under the Liabilities, before retaining and/or disbursing any part of the Rents for any other purpose. The license herein granted to Mortgagor shall automatically, without notice or any other action by Mortgagee, terminate upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and all Rents subsequently collected or received by Mortgagor shall be held in trust by Mortgagor for the sole and exclusive benefit of Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Section 4.1, and no collection by Mortgagee of Rents, shall be construed as imposing on Mortgagee any of the obligations of the lessor under the Leases.

 

4.2 Mortgagor shall timely perform all of its obligations under the Leases, if any.

 

9


5. DECLARATION OF NO OFFSET. Mortgagor represents to Mortgagee that Mortgagor has no knowledge of any offsets, counterclaims or defenses to the Liabilities either at law or in equity. Mortgagor shall, within three (3) business days upon request in person or within seven (7) business days upon request by mail, furnish to Mortgagee or Mortgagee’s designee a written statement in form satisfactory to Mortgagee stating, to Mortgagor’s knowledge, the amount due under the Liabilities and whether there are offsets or defenses against the same, and if so, the nature and extent thereof.

 

6. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.

 

6.1 Definitions. As used herein, “Environmental Laws” shall mean all existing or future federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, regulations, rules, executive orders, standards and requirements, including the requirements imposed by common law, concerning or relating to industrial hygiene and the protection of health and the environment including but not limited to: (a) those relating to the generation, manufacture, storage, transportation, disposal, release, emission or discharge of Hazardous Substances (as hereinafter defined); (b) those in connection with the construction, fuel supply, power generation and transmission, waste disposal or any other operations or processes relating to the Property; and (c) those relating to the atmosphere, soil, surface and ground water, wetlands, stream sediments and vegetation on, under, in or about the Property. Any terms mentioned herein which are defined in any Environmental Law shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in said laws; provided, however, that if any of such laws are amended so as to broaden any term defined therein, such broader meaning shall apply subsequent to the effective date of such amendment.

 

6.2 Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Mortgagor represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that:

 

(a) To Mortgagor’s knowledge, neither Mortgagor nor the Property or any occupant thereof is in violation of any Environmental Law relating to the Property. Neither Mortgagor nor the Property or any occupant thereof is subject to any existing, or to Mortgagor’s knowledge, pending or threatened investigation or inquiry by any governmental authority pertaining to any Environmental Law relating to the Property. Mortgagor shall not cause or permit the Property to be in violation of, or do anything which would subject the Property to any remedial obligations under, any Environmental Law, and shall promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any existing, pending or threatened investigation or inquiry by any governmental authority in connection with any Environmental Law. In addition, Mortgagor shall provide Mortgagee with copies of any and all material written communications with any governmental authority in connection with any Environmental Law, concurrently with Mortgagor’s giving or receiving of same relating to the Property.

 

(b) Mortgagor has taken all steps necessary to determine that there has been no release, spill, discharge, leak, disposal or emission (individually a “Release” and collectively, “Releases”) of any Hazardous Material, Hazardous Substance or Hazardous Waste, including gasoline, petroleum products, explosives, toxic substances, solid wastes and radioactive materials (collectively, “Hazardous Substances”) at, upon, under or within the Property. The use which Mortgagor or any other occupant of the Property makes or intends to make of the Property will not result in Release of any Hazardous Substances on or to the Property. During the term of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall take all steps necessary to determine whether there has been a Release of any Hazardous Substances on or to the Property and if Mortgagor finds a Release has occurred, Mortgagor shall remove or remediate the same promptly upon discovery at its sole cost and expense. Mortgagor agrees to and does hereby indemnify Mortgagee for any expenses, liens, claims, losses or liabilities arising out of or in connection with any Releases at, upon, under or within the Property or violations of Environmental Laws related to the Property either occurring prior to or during the term of this Mortgage.

 

(c) The Property has never been used by the present or, to Mortgagor’s knowledge, previous owners and/or operators nor will be used during the term of this Mortgage to refine,

 

10


produce, store, handle, transfer, process, transport, generate, manufacture, heat, treat, recycle or dispose of Hazardous Substances.

 

(d) The Property: (i) is being and, to Mortgagor’s knowledge, has been operated in compliance with all Environmental Laws, and all permits required thereunder have been obtained and complied with in all respects; and (ii) does not have any Hazardous Substances present excepting those quantities present, in proper storage containers and in compliance with all Legal Requirements and Environmental Laws, in the ordinary course of Mortgagor’s business (“Permitted Substances”).

 

(e) Mortgagor will operate the Property in compliance with all Environmental Laws and, other than Permitted Substances, will not place or knowingly permit to be placed any Hazardous Substances on the Property.

 

(f) No lien has been attached to or threatened to be imposed upon the Property, and there is no basis for the imposition of any such lien based on any governmental action under Environmental Laws. Neither Mortgagor nor, to Mortgagor’s knowledge, any other person has been, is or will be involved in operations at the Property which could lead to the imposition of environmental liability on Mortgagor, or on any subsequent or former owner of the Property, or the creation of an environmental lien on the Property. In the event that any such lien is filed, Mortgagor shall, within (30) days from the date that the Mortgagor is given notice of such lien (or within such shorter period of time as is appropriate in the event that steps have commenced to have the Property sold), either: (i) pay the claim and remove the lien from the Property; or (ii) furnish a cash deposit, bond or other security satisfactory in form and substance to Mortgagee in an amount sufficient to discharge the claim out of which the lien arises.

 

6.3 Right to Inspect and Cure. Mortgagee shall have the right to conduct or have conducted by its agents or contractors such environmental inspections, audits and tests as Mortgagee shall deem necessary or advisable from time to time at the sole cost and expense of Mortgagor; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall not be obligated to bear the expense of such environmental inspections, audits and tests so long as (a) no Event of Default exists, and (b) Mortgagee has no cause to believe in its sole reasonable judgment that there has been a Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances at the Property or that Mortgagor or the Property is in violation of any Environmental Law. The cost of such inspections, audits and tests, if chargeable to Mortgagor as aforesaid, shall be added to the Liabilities and shall be secured by this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall, and shall cause each tenant of the Property to, cooperate with such inspection efforts; such cooperation shall include, without limitation, supplying all information requested concerning the operations conducted and Hazardous Substances located at the Property. In the event that Mortgagor fails to comply with any Environmental Law, Mortgagee may, in addition to any of its other remedies under this Mortgage, cause the Property to be in compliance with such laws and the cost of such compliance shall be added to the sums secured by this Mortgage in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 hereof.

 

7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute a default (each, an “Event of Default”) hereunder:

 

7.1 Subject to any applicable notice rights or cure period contained in the Loan Documents, if any, non-payment when due of any sum required to be paid by Mortgagor under the Notes or any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, principal and interest;

 

7.2 A breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7 or 2.12 hereof;

 

7.3 A breach by Mortgagor of any other term, representation, warranty, covenant, condition, obligation or agreement under this Mortgage, and the continuance of such breach for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof shall have been given to Mortgagor, except that such thirty

 

11


(30) day period shall be extended provided that Mortgagor commences cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and continuously pursues cure;

 

7.4 An event of default under the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents (beyond any cure period, if any, provided for in the applicable Loan Document);

 

7.5 The filing by or against Mortgagor of a petition seeking relief, or the granting of relief, under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state statute; any assignment for the benefit of creditors made by Mortgagor; the appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator or trustee for Mortgagor or for any of the property of Mortgagor, or any action by Mortgagor to effect any of the foregoing; or if Mortgagor becomes insolvent (however defined) or is not paying its debts generally as they become due; provided however, that no involuntary appointment or proceeding shall be an Event of Default unless the same shall remain unvacated for a period of sixty (60) days;

 

7.6 Except as permitted in the Indenture, the dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or reorganization of Mortgagor, or the institution of any proceeding to effect any of the foregoing; or

 

7.7 The filing, entry or issuance of any judgment, execution, garnishment, attachment, distraint or lien against Mortgagor or its property, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7 hereof, if applicable.

 

8. REMEDIES. If an Event of Default shall have occurred, Mortgagee may take any of the following actions:

 

8.1 Acceleration. Mortgagee may declare the entire amount of the Liabilities immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, notice of any kind, protest or notice of protest, all of which are expressly waived, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents. Mortgagee may charge and collect interest from the date of default on the unpaid balance of the Liabilities, at the Default Rate.

 

8.2 Possession. Mortgagee may enter upon and take possession of the Property, with or without legal action, lease the Property, collect therefrom all rentals and, after deducting all costs of collection and administration expense, apply the net rentals to any one or more of the following items in such manner and in such order of priority as Mortgagee, in Mortgagee’s sole discretion, may elect: the payment of any sums due under any prior lien, taxes, water and sewer rents, charges and claims, insurance premiums and all other carrying charges, to the maintenance, repair or restoration of the Property, or on account of the Liabilities. Mortgagee is given full authority to do any act which Mortgagor could do in connection with the management and operation of the Property. This covenant is effective either with or without any action brought to foreclose this Mortgage and without applying for a receiver of such rents. In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagor shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee or to any receiver appointed to collect said rents the fair and reasonable rental value for Mortgagor’s use and occupation of the Property, and upon default in any such payment Mortgagor shall vacate and surrender the possession of the Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver. If Mortgagor does not vacate and surrender the Property then Mortgagor may be evicted by summary proceedings.

 

8.3 Foreclosure. Mortgagee may institute any one or more actions of mortgage foreclosure against all or any part of the Property, or take such other action at law, equity or by contract for the enforcement of this Mortgage and realization on the security herein or elsewhere provided for, as the law may allow, and may proceed therein to final judgment and execution for the entire unpaid balance of the Liabilities. The unpaid balance of any judgment shall bear interest at the greater of (a) the statutory rate provided for judgments, or (b) the Default Rate. Without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagee may foreclose this Mortgage and exercise its rights as a secured party for all or any portion of the Liabilities

 

12


which are then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien of this Mortgage for the balance not then due and payable. In case of any sale of the Property by judicial proceedings, the Property may be sold in one parcel or in such parcels, manner or order as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect. Mortgagor, for itself and anyone claiming by, through or under it, hereby agrees that Mortgagee shall in no manner, in law or in equity, be limited, except as herein provided, in the exercise of its rights in the Property or in any other security hereunder or otherwise appertaining to the Liabilities or any other obligation secured by this Mortgage, whether by any statute, rule or precedent which may otherwise require said security to be marshaled in any manner and Mortgagor, for itself and others as aforesaid, hereby expressly waives and releases any right to or benefit thereof. The failure to make any tenant a defendant to a foreclosure proceeding shall not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense in any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Liabilities or any deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Property.

 

8.4 Appointment of Receiver. Mortgagee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a receiver of the Property. Such appointment may be made either before or after sale, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor at the time of application for such receiver, without regard to the then value of the Property or whether the Property shall be then occupied as a homestead or not, and without regard to whether Mortgagor has committed waste or allowed deterioration of the Property, and Mortgagee or any agent of Mortgagee may be appointed as such receiver. Mortgagor hereby agrees that Mortgagee has a special interest in the Property and absent the appointment of such receiver the Property shall suffer waste and deterioration and Mortgagor further agrees that it shall not contest the appointment of a receiver and hereby so stipulates to such appointment pursuant to this paragraph. Such receiver shall have the power to perform all of the acts permitted Mortgagee pursuant to Section 8.2 above and such other powers which may be necessary or customary in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Property during such period.

 

8.5 Rights as a Secured Party. Mortgagee shall have, in addition to other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Mortgagee may elect to foreclose such of the Property as then comprise fixtures pursuant either to the law applicable to foreclosure of an interest in real estate or to that applicable to personal property under the Code. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in effect.

 

8.6 Excess Monies. Mortgagee may apply on account of the Liabilities any unexpended monies still retained by Mortgagee that were paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee: (a) for the payment of, or as security for the payment of taxes, assessments or other governmental charges, insurance premiums, or any other charges; or (b) to secure the performance of some act by Mortgagor.

 

8.7 Other Remedies. Mortgagee shall have the right, from time to time, to bring an appropriate action to recover any sums required to be paid by Mortgagor under the terms of this Mortgage, as they become due, without regard to whether or not any other Liabilities shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of mortgage foreclosure, or any other action, for any default by Mortgagor existing at the time the earlier action was commenced. In addition, Mortgagee shall have the right to set-off all or any part of any amount due by Mortgagor to Mortgagee under any of the Liabilities, against any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations owing by Mortgagee in any capacity to Mortgagor, including any obligation to disburse to Mortgagor any funds or other property on deposit with or otherwise in the possession, control or custody of Mortgagee.

 

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

9.1 Notices. All notices and communications under this Mortgage shall be in writing and shall be given by either (a) hand-delivery, (b) first class mail (postage prepaid), or (c) reliable overnight commercial courier (charges prepaid), to the addresses listed in this Mortgage with copies to the addresses set forth below. Notice shall be deemed to have been given and received: (a) if by hand

9.2 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Mortgagee as provided in this Mortgage or in any other Loan Document shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued separately, successively or together, may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies conferred upon Mortgagee at law or in equity. The failure, at any one or more times, of Mortgagee to assert the right to declare the Liabilities due, grant any extension of time for payment of the Liabilities, take other or additional security for the payment thereof, release any security, change any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or waive or fail to exercise any right or remedy under any Loan Document shall not in any way affect this Mortgage or the rights of Mortgagee.

 

9.3 No Implied Waiver. Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have modified or waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such modification or waiver is in writing and signed by Mortgagee, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver in one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a waiver of or bar to such right or remedy on a subsequent event.

 

9.4 Partial Invalidity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Mortgage shall not render any other provision invalid or unenforceable. In lieu of any invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically a valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

 

9.5 Binding Effect. The covenants, conditions, waivers, releases and agreements contained in this Mortgage shall bind, and the benefits thereof shall inure to, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns and are intended and shall be held to be real covenants running with the land; provided, however, that this Mortgage cannot be assigned by

 

14


Mortgagor without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, and any such assignment or attempted assignment by Mortgagor shall be void and of no effect with respect to Mortgagee.

 

9.6 Modifications. This Mortgage may not be supplemented, extended, modified or terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

 

9.7 Commercial Loan. Mortgagor represents and warrants that the loans or other financial accommodations included as Liabilities secured by this Mortgage were obtained solely for the purpose of carrying on or acquiring a business or commercial investment.

 

9.8 Governing Law. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Florida without reference to conflict of laws principles.

 

9.9 Non-Merger. In the event Mortgagee shall acquire title to the Property by conveyance from Mortgagor or as a result of foreclosure, this Mortgage shall not merge in the fee estate of the Property but shall remain and continue as an existing and enforceable lien for the Liabilities secured hereby until the same shall be released of record by Mortgagee in writing.

 

9.10 Indenture. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that Mortgagee is acting as trustee hereunder for the benefit of the Holders as defined in, and in accordance with the terms of, that certain Indenture dated of even date herewith executed by Mortgagor and Mortgagee (the “Indenture”), and Mortgagor agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

 

9.11 Limitation on Recovery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, recovery under this Mortgage is limited to $10,000,000.00 in the principal amount of the Loan, plus accrued interest thereon, expenses in enforcing the Mortgage, taxes and the amounts paid by Mortgagee to protect or preserve the Property.

 

9.12 No Oral Agreements. The written Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten agreements between the parties.

 

9.13 Additional Definitions. As used in this Mortgage, the following terms have the meanings ascribed to them in this Section 9.13:

 

(a) “Designated Equipment” means all of the Mortgagor’s now owned and hereafter acquired equipment, wherever located, including containers, chassis’, tractors, vehicle transportation modules, machinery, data processing and computer equipment (whether owned or licensed and including embedded software), vehicles, tools, furniture, fixtures, all attachments, accessions and property now or hereafter affixed thereto or used in connection therewith, and substitutions and replacements thereof, wherever located.
