Mortgagor intends this assignment as a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Nevertheless, Lender grants to Mortgagor a revocable license to collect and receive the Rents.
3. Security Agreement. This Mortgage is both a real property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code, as applicable. The Property includes both real and personal property (to the extent described in Section 2), and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Mortgagor in the Property. By executing and delivering this Mortgage, Mortgagor hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Debt, a security interest in the Property to the full extent that the Property may be subject to the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code, as applicable, and, further, authorizes Lender to file and execute on behalf of Mortgagor, if necessary, all financing statements and continuation statements that might be required by law in order to perfect Lender's security interests in and to the Property and other collateral being granted to Lender hereunder. A carbon, photostatic or other reproduction of this Mortgage shall be sufficient as a financing statement. Lender shall have the right at any time to file a manually executed counterpart or a carbon, photostatic or other reproduction of this Mortgage as a financing statement in either the central or local UCC records of any jurisdiction wherein the Property is situated, but the failure of Lender to do so shall not impair (a) the effectiveness of this Mortgage as a fixture filing as permitted by Section 9.502(c) of the UCC, or (b) the validity and enforceability of this Mortgage in any respect whatsoever.
3
4. Pledge of Monies Held. Mortgagor hereby pledges to Lender any and all monies now or hereafter held by Lender, as additional security for the Debt (as defined herein) until expended or applied as provided in this Mortgage.
And Mortgagor covenants with Lender, its successors and assigns, that Mortgagor will forever warrant and defend the title to the above-described Property against any and all lawful claims whatsoever.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto and for the use and benefit of Lender, and the successors and assigns of Lender, forever;
PROVIDED, however, the foregoing conveyance is given as a mortgage for the purpose of securing the following (the “Debt”) at the time and in the manner provided in the Note and this Mortgage these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease, terminate, and be void:
|
|
(a)
|
the payment of amounts due pursuant to the Note;
|
|
|
(b)
|
and the repayment to the Lender of all reimbursable expense at any time accruing to such Lender under the provisions hereof; and
|
|
|
(c)
|
the payment of all future and additional indebtedness for any amounts advanced under the Secured Loan Agreement, direct or indirect, created after the date of this Mortgage, which may be owing by the Borrower or the Mortgagor (or by any of the persons herein designated under the term "Mortgagor") to the Lender in connection with the Property at any time prior to the payment in full with interest of the indebtedness or the foreclosure of this Mortgage therefor (the event occurring first to be controlling); and it is agreed that this Mortgage shall stand as security for all such future and additional indebtedness.
|
All recitals set forth in the preamble of this instrument are incorporated herein by this reference.
IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD that the principal amount secured hereby is subject to multiple future advances pursuant to the terms and conditions of that Secured Loan Agreement of even date herewith. Lender is obligated to fund such future advances in accordance with the terms and conditions of said Secured Loan Agreement.
4
5. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Secured Loan Agreement”), including the failure of Mortgagor to perform any obligation hereunder or under the Unconditional Guaranty, Mortgagor agrees that Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, unless specifically required, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Mortgagor and in and to the Property, including, but not limited to the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender:
|
|
(a)
|
Declare the entire unpaid Debt to be immediately due and payable;
|
|
|
(b)
|
Institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this Mortgage under any applicable provision of law in which case the Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner;
|
|
|
(c)
|
With or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Mortgage for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien and security interest of this Mortgage for the balance of the Debt not then due, unimpaired and without loss of priority;
|
|
|
(d)
|
Institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein, in the Note or any agreement related thereto;

|
|

|
|
|
(f)
|
Apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard for the solvency of Mortgagor, or of any person, firm or other entity liable for the payment of the Debt;

|
|
|
(i)
|
Pursue such other remedies as Lender may have under the Credit Agreement and applicable law.
|
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Mortgage shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority to secure any portion of the Debt then remaining unpaid.
6. Protection of the Property. If Lender shall expend any sum or sums for the protection of any of the Property or the lien of this Mortgage (Lender to have uncontrolled discretion as to the necessity of making any such expenditures), the repayment of such sum or sums on demand (with interest thereon at the highest rate permitted under applicable law from the date of each expenditure) shall be the obligation of the Mortgagor; and such obligation to repay will constitute a part of the indebtedness secured hereby. The expenditures thus made reimbursable will include (without limiting the foregoing) taxes, special improvement assessments, and sums paid to discharge prior liens. The cost of any abstract or supplemental abstract procured by the Lender of the secured indebtedness to facilitate foreclosure will also constitute a part of the reimbursable expense secured hereby.
5
7. Multiple Remedies. In the event of a default hereunder, the Lender hereby shall be entitled to enforce the lien of this Mortgage in respect to all Property encumbered hereby by foreclosure or otherwise in proceedings that are prosecuted simultaneously or are prosecuted separately in such order as the Lender may select.
8. Waivers. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby waives any and all rights of dower, curtesy, appraisement, sale, redemption and homestead under the laws of Minnesota.

|
that Mortgagor's execution, delivery and performance of this Mortgage (i) will not violate any indenture, agreement or any other instrument to which Mortgagor is a party or by which Mortgagor or any of its property is bound; and (ii) will not be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice and/or lapse of time) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of its property or assets, except as contemplated by the provisions of this Mortgage;
|

7
12. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ARKANSAS (WITHOUT REGARD TO CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES) AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES APPLICABLE TO TRANSACTIONS IN THE STATE OF ARKANSAS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED, INCLUDING LAWS RELATING TO PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION AND NON-PERFECTION OF LIENS ON REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY, OR THE TRANSFER OF, AND EFFECT OF TRANSFER OF, SECURITY TITLE TO REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN SUCH STATE, SHALL NECESSARILY APPLY TO THE EXERCISE OF ANY REMEDIES RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE SECURITY COVERED BY THIS MORTGAGE AND PROVIDED FURTHER, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY CHOOSE THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED TO GOVERN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE GRANT AND CONVEYANCE OF THE LIEN AGAINST AND SECURITY TITLE TO THE PROPERTY.
13. Provisions Subject to Applicable Law. All rights, powers and remedies provided in this Mortgage may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Mortgage invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any term of this Mortgage or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Mortgage and any other application of the term shall not be affected thereby.
14. No Oral Change. This Mortgage, and any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Mortgagor or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.
15. Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This Mortgage may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Mortgage may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a single Mortgage.

19. No Waiver. No waiver by Lender of any default or breach by Mortgagor hereunder shall be implied from any omission by Lender to take, or any delay in taking, action on account of such default other than the default expressly made the subject of the waiver and any such express waiver shall be operative only for the time and to the extent therein stated. Any waiver of any covenant, term or condition contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by Lender to or of any act by Mortgagor requiring further consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act. The intent of this paragraph is to avoid unintentional waivers by Lender of any of its rights hereunder.
20. No Duty of Lender. Nothing in this Mortgage shall impose or imply any duty or obligation whatsoever upon Lender, and Lender shall be under no duty, to take any action to preserve rights of Mortgagor with respect to any of the security held by Lender for the obligations. Mortgagor waives any and all impairment of recourse and/or impairment of collateral defenses that it may possess against the Lender.
21. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Mortgage may be assigned by Lender. Mortgagor may not assign its interest in, or obligation under, this Mortgage except with the written consent of Lender. Subject to the forgoing, all of the terms, covenants, conditions, representations and warranties hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of Lender and Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby consents to the collateral assignment of Lender's interests in and to this Agreement to third party creditors of Lender without the need for any further consent of whatever nature by Mortgagor. Should Lender's assignee assume rights under this agreement, Mortgagor covenants and agrees that it will continue to perform this agreement in accordance with its terms and conditions and shall recognize said assignee as the lawful and enforceable successor in interest to Lender.
22. Preparation of Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge that this Mortgage has been negotiated and prepared in an arms-length transaction and that both Lender and Mortgagor have negotiated all the terms contained herein. Accordingly, the parties agree that neither party shall be deemed to have drafted this agreement and this agreement shall not be interpreted against either party as the draftsman.
23. Advice of Counsel. Each party acknowledges to the other that such party has been advised by legal counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Mortgage and that each party understands the terms and conditions contained herein and that each has entered into this Mortgage voluntarily.
24. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage or in any other loan document executed in connection herewith shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Mortgage or any other loan document executed in connection herewith, and in lieu of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement or any other loan document executed in connection herewith a provision as similar in terms to such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid, legal and enforceable thereafter.
