RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

8.1     Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee may, at its option, exercise any, some or all of the following remedies, concurrently or consecutively.

(a)  Acceleration.  Mortgagee may declare all of the unpaid Obligations, together with all accrued interest thereon, to be due and payable without notice or demand which are hereby expressly waived, and upon such declaration all such Obligations shall immediately become due and payable as fully and to the same effect as if the date of such declaration were the date originally specified for the full payment or maturity thereof.

(b)  Mortgagee’s Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and Apply Income.

(i)  Mortgagee may demand that Mortgagor surrender the actual possession of the Mortgaged Property and upon such demand, Mortgagor shall forthwith surrender same to Mortgagee and, to the extent permitted by law, Mortgagee itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all of the Mortgaged Property and may exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom.

(ii)  If Mortgagor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof after Mortgagee’s demand, Mortgagee may obtain a judgment or order conferring on Mortgagee the right to immediate possession or requiring the Mortgagor to deliver immediate possession to Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment or decree the Mortgagor hereby specifically consents.

(iii)  Mortgagee may from time to time: (A) continue and complete construction of, hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business thereof; (B) make all reasonably necessary maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional Fixtures and Personal Property; (C) insure or keep the Mortgaged Property insured; (D) exercise all the rights and powers of the Mortgagor in its name or otherwise with respect to the same; and (E) enter into agreements with others (including, without limitation, new Leases or amendments, extensions, or cancellations to existing Leases) all as Mortgagee from time to time may determine in its sole discretion.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, subject to any applicable notice or cure periods, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution, and empowers said attorney or attorneys in the name of Mortgagor, but at the option of said attorney-in-fact, to do any and all acts and execute any and all agreements that Mortgagee may deem necessary or proper to implement and perform any and all of the foregoing.

(iv)  The Mortgagee may, with or without taking possession of the Mortgaged Property as hereinabove provided, collect and receive all the Rents therefrom, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and shall apply the monies so received first, to the payment of all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Mortgagee and its agents in connection with the collection of same, whether or not in possession of the Mortgaged Property, and second, in such order as Mortgagee may elect, to the payment of the Obligations.

(c)  Proceedings To Recover Sums Due.

(i)  If any installment or part of any Obligation shall fail to be paid when due, Mortgagee shall be entitled to sue for and to recover judgment against the Mortgagor for the amount so due and unpaid together with all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with such proceeding, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee.  All such costs and expenses shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be due and payable by Mortgagor immediately.

(ii)  If Mortgagor shall fail to pay upon the Mortgagee’s demand, after acceleration as provided in Subsection 8.1(a), all of the unpaid Obligations, together with all accrued interest thereon, Mortgagee shall be entitled to sue for and to recover judgment against the Mortgagor for the entire amount so due and unpaid together with all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with such proceeding, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee.  All such costs and expenses shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be payable by Mortgagor immediately.  Mortgagee’s right under this Subsection may be exercised by Mortgagee either before, after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of this Mortgage, including appellate proceedings.

(iii)  No recovery of any judgment as provided in Subsections (i) and (ii) above and no attachment or levy of any execution upon any of the Mortgaged Property or any other property shall in any way affect the lien of this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any lien, rights, powers, or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, but such lien, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.
 
 
24

 

(d)  Foreclosure.

(i)  Mortgagee may institute proceedings for the partial or complete foreclosure of this Mortgage and Mortgagee may, pursuant to any final judgment of foreclosure, sell the Mortgaged Property as an entirety or in separate lots, units, or parcels.

(ii)  In case of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, the proceeds of sale shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.8 below hereof, and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor to enforce payment of any and all Obligations then remaining due and unpaid, together with interest thereon, and to recover a judgment against the Mortgagor therefor.

(iii)  The Mortgagee is authorized to foreclose this Mortgage subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property, or Mortgagee may elect which tenants Mortgagee desires to name as parties defendant in such foreclosure and failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted by the Mortgagor to be, a defense to any proceedings instituted by the Mortgagee to collect the unpaid Obligations or to collect any deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property.

(e)  Receiver.  Mortgagee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to have a receiver appointed to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, collect the Rents therefrom and apply the same as the court may direct, such receiver to have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of Florida.  The right of the appointment of such receiver shall be a matter of strict right without regard to the value or the occupancy of the Mortgaged Property or the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor.  The expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorneys’ fees, costs and agent’s commission incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be secured hereby and shall be due and payable by Mortgagor immediately without notice or demand.   Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian, Mortgagee shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash or deposits at the time held by, payable, or deliverable under the terms of this Mortgage to the Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee shall have the right to offset the unpaid Obligations against any such cash or deposits in such order as Mortgagee may elect.

(f)  Remedies as to Personal Property.  Mortgagee may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions as adopted by the State of Florida or other applicable law as well as all other rights and remedies possessed by Mortgagee, all of which shall be cumulative.  Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered to enter the Mortgaged Property or other place where the Personal Property may be located without legal process, and to take possession of the Personal Property without notice or demand, which hereby are waived to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the State of Florida.  Upon demand by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall make the Personal Property available to Mortgagee at a place reasonably convenient to Mortgagee.  Mortgagee may sell at one or more public or private sales and for such price as Mortgagee may deem commercially reasonable, any and all of the Personal Property secured by this Mortgage, and any other security or property held by Mortgagee and Mortgagee may be the purchaser of any or all of the Personal Property.
 
 
25

 

(g)  Other.  Mortgagee may institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as the Mortgagee may deem advisable (i) to prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Mortgage, (ii) to preserve or protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property, and (iii) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any Governmental Requirement that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such Governmental Requirement might impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the Mortgagee’s interest.

8.2     Remedies Cumulative and Concurrent.  No right, power or remedy of Mortgagee as provided in the Note, this Mortgage, or the other Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power, or remedy of Mortgagee, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and in addition to any other right, power or remedy available to Mortgagee now or hereafter existing at law or in equity and may be pursued separately, successively or together against Mortgagor, or any endorser, co-maker, surety or guarantor of the Obligations, or the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee.  The failure of Mortgagee to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.

8.3     Waiver, Delay or Omission.  No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder shall extend to or affect any subsequent or any other Event of Default then existing, or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent thereon, and no delay or omission of Mortgagee to exercise any right, power or remedy shall be construed to waive any such Event of Default or to constitute acquiescence therein.

8.4     Credit of Mortgagee.  To the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the State of Florida, upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Article, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and in lieu of paying cash therefor may apply to the purchase price, any portion of or all of the unpaid Obligations in such order as Mortgagee may elect.

8.5     Sale.  Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Article shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever at law or in equity, of the Mortgagor and all Persons, except tenants pursuant to Leases approved by Mortgagee, claiming by, through or under Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights so sold, whether sold to Mortgagee or to others.

8.6     Proofs of Claim.  In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, seizure of the Mortgaged Property by any Governmental Authority, or other judicial proceedings affecting Mortgagor, any endorser, co-maker, surety, or guarantor of the Obligations, or any of their respective properties, the Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claim allowed in such proceedings for the entire unpaid Obligations at the date of the institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable after such date.

8.7     Waiver of Redemption, Notice, Marshalling, Etc.  Mortgagor hereby waives and releases, for itself and anyone claiming through, by, or under it, to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the State of Florida:

(a)  all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future law exempting the Mortgaged Property, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale on execution, or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment,

8.9     Discontinuance of Proceedings.  If Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under any Loan Document and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then except as may be provided in any written agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee providing for the discontinuance or abandonment of such proceedings, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and the rights, remedies and powers of Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been instituted.
