Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Individual Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) business days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Individual Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.

In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less than all of Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section to the contrary, if any Event of Default as described in Section 11.1(g) of the Loan Agreement shall occur, the entire unpaid Debt shall
be automatically due and payable, without any further notice, demand or other action by Lender.
Section 8.2 Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the purchase money, proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Property, and or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.
Section 8.3 Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Individual Borrower (except as may be required in accordance with applicable law or the Loan Agreement) and without releasing Individual Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make any payment or do any act required of Individual Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes (subject to the rights of Tenants), or appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the actual out-of- pocket cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending or bringing any such action or proceeding 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. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate 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. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Individual 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. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to Article 15 of the Loan Agreement, 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 thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Individual Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
Section 8.6 Other Rights, etc. (a) The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Individual Borrower shall not be relieved of Individual Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Individual Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan 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 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 Individual Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in the 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 until such time as Lender becomes a mortgagee in possession or if title to the Property has been transferred to Lender or its designee pursuant to a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief if any such possession is requested or obtained with respect to any Property or collateral not in Lender’s possession.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, 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 may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender 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 shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not 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. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, 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 Right of Entry. Upon reasonable notice to Individual Borrower, Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases).
Section 8.9 Bankruptcy. (a) Upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Individual Borrower in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Individual Borrower, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.
(b) If there shall be filed by or against Individual Borrower a petition under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq., as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and Individual Borrower, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Individual Borrower shall give Lender not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice of the date on which Individual Borrower shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Lease. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Individual Borrower within such ten-day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that Individual Borrower assume and assign the Lease to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. If Lender serves upon Individual Borrower the notice described in the preceding sentence, Individual Borrower shall not seek to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Lender of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
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, the performance and discharge of Individual Borrower’s obligations hereunder, under the Loan Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents and the performance and discharge of the Other Obligations. Nothing in this Section 8.10 is intended to modify the rights and obligations of Borrower or Lender under the Loan Documents.

Individual Borrower shall cooperate with and provide access to Lender and any such person or entity designated by Lender in accordance with the foregoing. If requested by Individual Borrower, Lender shall make the results (including any reports) of any such environmental assessment or audit fully available to Individual Borrower.

(a) The law applicable to any foreclosure of this instrument shall be the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law, Illinois Compiled Statutes, Chapter 735, Act 5, Section 15-1101, et seq., as from time to time amended (the “Act”).
(b) In the event that any provision in this Security Instrument shall be inconsistent with any provision of the Act, the provisions of the Act shall take precedence over the provisions of this Security Instrument, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Security Instrument that can be construed in a manner consistent with the Act.

If any provision of this Security Instrument shall grant to Lender any rights or remedies upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default which are more limited than the rights that would otherwise be vested in Lender

Except to the extent contrary to law, Individual Borrower hereby waives upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default any and all right to have the Property marshaled upon any foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or sold in inverse order of alienation, and agrees that Lender or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose this Security Instrument may sell the Property as an entirety.

amount of his bid therefor.

Section 1601, et seq. and has been entered into solely for business purposes of Individual Borrower and for Individual Borrower’s investment or profit, as contemplated by said section.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, any reasonable advances, disbursements or expenditures described in Section 15-1302(b) of the Act that are made by Lender from time to time shall have the benefit of the provisions of the Act applicable thereto, and any reasonable advances, disbursements or expenditures in the nature of “future advances”, as described or defined in the Act or any other applicable Illinois law, that are made by Lender from time to time shall have the benefit of the provisions of the Act or such other applicable law (as the case may be).

Section 17.8 Maturity Date. The Loan shall be due and payable in full on or before October 1, 2027.
Section 17.9 Collateral Protection Act. Unless Individual Borrower provides Lender with evidence of the insurance required by this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, Lender may purchase insurance as is required by the Loan Documents at Individual Borrower’s expense to protect Lender’s interest in the Property or any other collateral for the indebtedness secured hereby as is required by the Loan Documents. This insurance may, but need not, protect Individual Borrower’s interests. The coverage Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Individual Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Individual Borrower in connection with the Property or any other collateral for the indebtedness secured hereby. Individual Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Lender, but only after providing Lender with evidence that Individual Borrower has obtained insurance as required under this
Security Instrument or any other Loan Document. If Lender purchases insurance for the Property or any other collateral for the indebtedness secured hereby, Individual Borrower shall be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including the insurance premiums, interest and any other charges that Lender may lawfully impose in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the indebtedness secured hereby. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance that Individual Borrower may be able to obtain on its own.
Section 17.10 Fixture Filing. This Security Instrument also constitutes a “fixture filing” pursuant to Section 9-502 of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code, 810 ILCS 5/1-101, et. seq. and shall be filed in the real estate records of the applicable county’s real estate records office.
