All rights and remedies of Bank shall be cumulative and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the option of Bank. The acceptance by Bank of any partial payment shall not constitute a waiver of any default or of any of Bank’s rights under this Note. No waiver of any of its rights hereunder, and no modification or amendment of this Note, shall be deemed to be made by Bank unless the same shall be in writing, duly signed on behalf of Bank; each such waiver shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved, and shall in no way impair the rights of Bank or the obligations of Obligors to Bank in any other respect at any other time.

 

12. APPLICABLE LAW, VENUE, JURISDICTION AND COLLECTION EXPENSES. This Note and the rights and obligations of Borrower and Bank shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the law of the State of Florida.

The Mortgage shall comply with all provisions of this Mortgage, and of every other instrument securing the Note to the extent of Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property. The failure of the Borrower to promptly pay to the Mortgagee, when due, principal and interest under the Note, and all other sums required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Mortgage and of every other instrument securing the Note, shall constitute a default under this Mortgage.

 

2. Payment of Taxes and Liens. On condition of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, levies, liabilities, obligations and encumbrances of every nature now on the Mortgaged Property or that hereafter may be imposed, levied or assessed upon this Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property or upon the indebtedness secured hereby. All such payments shall be made when due and payable according to law before they become delinquent and before any interest attaches or any penalty is incurred. The Borrower shall furnish evidence of such payment to the Mortgagee. Insofar as any indebtedness is of record, the same shall be promptly satisfied and evidence of such satisfaction shall be given to the Mortgagee.

 

On condition of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee may at its option require the Borrower to deposit with Mortgagee on the first (1st) day of each month in addition to making payments of principal and interest, until the Note is fully paid and all other secured obligations are satisfied, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1 /12th) of the yearly payment for all taxes and/or insurance premiums. Such deposits shall not be, nor deemed to be, trust funds, but may be commingled with the general funds of the Mortgagee, and no interest shall be payable in respect thereof. Upon demand by the Mortgagee, the Borrower shall deliver to Mortgagee such additional monies as are necessary to make up any deficiencies in the amounts necessary to enable Mortgagee to pay such taxes or premiums when due. In the event of a default by Borrower under any term, covenant or condition of the Note, this Mortgage or any other instrument securing the Note, Mortgagee may apply to the reduction of the sums secured hereby, in such manner as Mortgagee shall determine, any amount under this paragraph remaining to Borrower’s credit and any return premium received from cancellation of any insurance policy by Mortgagee upon foreclosure of this Mortgage.

 

3. Government Fees and Charges: Curing of Violations. The Mortgagor shall promptly pay and discharge any and all license fees or similar charges, together with any penalties and interest thereon, which may be imposed by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property. Furthermore, the Mortgagor shall promptly cure any violation of law and comply with any order of said governmental authority in respect of the repair, replacement or condition of the Mortgaged Property.

 

4. Insurance.The Mortgagor will keep the improvements now existing or hereafter erected on the Mortgaged Property, insured as may be required from time to time by the Mortgagee against loss by fire and other hazards, casualties, and contingencies in such amounts and for such periods as may be required by the Mortgagee, and will pay promptly, when due, any premiums on such insurance, provision for the payment of which has not been made hereinbefore. All insurance shall be carried in companies approved by the Mortgagee and the policies and renewals thereof shall be held by the Mortgagee and have attached thereto loss payable clauses in favor of and in a form acceptable to the Mortgagee. Unless otherwise consented to by Mortgagee in writing, all policies shall have affixed thereto a standard mortgagee clause without contribution making all such losses under such policy payable to the Mortgagee as its interest may appear. In the event of loss, the Mortgagor will give immediate notice by mail to the Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee may make proof of loss if not made promptly by the Mortgagor, and each insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for such loss directly to the Mortgagee instead of to the Mortgagor and Mortgagee jointly, and the insurance proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by the Mortgagee at its option either to the reduction of the indebtedness hereby secured or to the restoration or repair of the property damaged. In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the indebtedness secured hereby, all right, title, and interest of the Mortgagor in and to any insurance policies then in force shall pass to the purchaser or grantee.

5. Condemnation.If at any time all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property shall be taken or damaged by condemnation proceedings under the power of eminent domain, all compensation awarded or otherwise paid shall be paid directly to the Mortgagee and the Mortgagee is hereby authorized, at its option, to commence, appear and to prosecute, in its own or in the Mortgagor’s name any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation, or to settle or compromise any claim in connection therewith. All such compensation awards and any other payments or relief and the right thereto are hereby assigned by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee and the Mortgagee, after deducting therefrom all of its expenses including attorney’s fees, may release money so received without affecting the lien of this Mortgage, or may apply the same, in such manner as the Mortgagee shall determine, to the reduction of the sum secured hereby. The Mortgagor agrees to execute such further assignments of any compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds, as the Mortgagee may require.

 

6. Care of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor shall not remove or demolish any building or other improvement forming a part of the Mortgaged Property without the written consent of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor shall not permit, commit or suffer any waste, impairment or deterioration of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and shall keep the same and improvements thereon in good condition and repair. The Mortgagor shall notify the Mortgagee in writing within five (5) days of any damage or impairment of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagee may at its option have the Mortgaged Property inspected at any time and the Mortgagor shall pay all costs incurred by the Mortgagee in performing such inspection.

 

7. Mortgagee’s Right to Make Certain Payments. In the event the Mortgagor fails to pay or discharge the taxes, assessments, levies, liabilities, obligations and encumbrances, or fails to keep the Mortgaged Property insured or to deliver the policies, premiums paid, or fails to repair the Mortgaged Property as herein agreed, the Mortgagee may at its option pay or discharge the taxes, assessments, levies, liabilities, and obligations and encumbrances on any part thereof, procure and pay for such insurance, or make and pay for such repairs. The Mortgagee shall have no obligation on its part to determine the validity or necessity of any payment thereof and any such payment shall not waive or affect any option, lien equity or right of the Mortgagee under or by virtue of this Mortgage. The full amount of each and every such payment shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest from the date thereof, until paid, at the highest rate allowable by law, and together with such interest, shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring the Mortgagee to advance or expend monies for any of the purposes mentioned in this paragraph.

 

16

 

 

8. Payment of Expenses. The Borrower shall pay all costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, disbursements and cost of abstracts of title, incurred or paid at any time by the Mortgagee due to the failure on the part of the Mortgagor promptly and fully to perform, comply with and abide by any stipulation, agreement, condition or covenant of the Note, this Mortgage, or any other document securing the Note. Such costs, charges, fees and expenses shall be immediately due and payable, whether or not there be notice, demand, attempt to collect or suit pending. The full amount of each and every such payment shall bear interest from the date thereof, until paid, at the highest rate allowable by law. All such costs, charges and expenses so incurred or paid, together with such interest, shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage and any other instrument securing the Note.

 

9. After Acquired Property. The lien of this Mortgage will automatically attach, without further act, to all after acquired property of whatever kind located in or on, or attached to, or used or intended to be used in connection with, or in the operation of, the Mortgaged Property.

 

10. Additional Documents. During the entire time this Mortgage is in effect, upon the Mortgagee’s request, the Mortgagor shall make, execute and deliver or cause to be made, executed and delivered to the Mortgagee and, where appropriate, shall cause to be recorded or filed and thereafter to be re-recorded or ref led at such time and in such place as shall be deemed appropriate by the Mortgagee, any and all such further mortgages, instruments of further assurance, certificates and other documents as the Mortgagee may consider necessary or desirable in order to effectuate, complete, enlarge, perfect, or to continue and preserve the obligations of the Mortgagor under the Note, this Mortgage and all other instruments securing the Note, and the lien of this Mortgage as a lien upon all the Mortgaged Property. Upon any failure by the Mortgagor to do so, the Mortgagee may make, execute, record, file, re-record, or refile any and all such mortgages, instruments, certificates, financing statements, and documents for and in the name of the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor hereby irrevocable appoints the Mortgagee as agent and attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor to do all things necessary to effectuate or assure compliance with this paragraph.

 

11. Event of Default. Any one of the following shall constitute an event of default.

 

(a) Failure by Borrower to pay when due any installment of principal or interest due under the Note or any other sums to be paid by the Borrower hereunder or under any other instrument securing the Note.

(d) If either the Borrower, Mortgagor (to the extent of Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property), or any guarantor or endorser of the Note: (i) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or (ii) is adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or (iii) files any petition or answer seeking or acquiescing in any reorganization, management, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, or (iv) seeks or consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, master or liquidator of itself or of all or any substantial part of the Mortgaged Property or of any or all of the rents, revenue issue, earnings, profits or income thereof, or (v) makes any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (vi) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against the Borrower or Mortgagor (to the extent of Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property) or any guarantor or endorser of the Note, seeking any reorganization, arrangements, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state, or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, which order, judgment or decree remains unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60) days whether or not consecutive from the date of entry thereof, or (viii) any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Mortgagor or of all or any substantial part of the Mortgaged Property or of any or all of the rents, revenues, issues, earnings, profits or income thereof, is appointed without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.

12. Acceleration. If an event of default shall have occurred, the Mortgagee may declare the outstanding principal amount of the Note, the interest accrued thereon, and all other sums secured hereby to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration such principal and interest and other sum shall immediately be due and payable without demand or notice and said sums shall bear interest from such time until paid at the highest rate allowable under the laws of the State of Florida.

 

18

 

 

13. Remedies After Default. Upon an event of default, the Mortgagee may proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy to: (a) enforce payment of the Note or the performance of any term hereof or any other right; (b) foreclose this Mortgage and to sell, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the Mortgaged Property under the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction (c) collect all rents, issues, profits, revenue, income and other benefits from the Mortgaged Property; (d) apply to the court having jurisdiction thereof for the appointment of a receiver of all and singular the Mortgaged Property and of all rents, incomes, profits, issues and revenues thereof, from whatsoever source derived, and thereupon it is hereby expressly covenanted and agreed that the court shall forthwith appoint such receiver with the usual powers and duties of receivers in like cases and said appointment shall be made by the court as a matter of strict right to the Mortgagee and without reference to the adequacy or inadequacy of the value of the Mortgaged Property, or to the solvency or insolvency of the Mortgagor or any other party defendant to such suit and the Mortgagor waives the right to object to the appointment of a receiver as aforesaid and consents that the appointment shall be made as an admitted equity and as a matter of absolute right to the Mortgagee and may be done without notice to the Mortgagor or Borrower; or (e) pursue any other remedy available to the Mortgagee, including, but not limited to, taking possession of the Mortgaged Property without notice or hearing to the Mortgagor or Borrower. The Mortgagee shall take action either by such proceedings or by the exercise of its power with respect to entry or taking possession, or both, as the Mortgagee may determine.

 

14. Right to Receiver on Default. If default be made in payment, when due, of any indebtedness secured hereby, or in performance of any of Borrower’s obligations, covenants or agreements hereunder or in connection herewith:

 

(a) Mortgagee is authorized at any time, without notice, in its sole discretion to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, to perform any acts Mortgagee deems necessary or proper to preserve the security and to collect and receive all rents, issues and profits thereof, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter; and

 

(b) Mortgagee shall be entitled, as a matter of strict right, without notice and ex parte, and without regard to the value or occupancy of the security, or the solvency of Mortgagor, or the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Note, to have a receiver appointed to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, collect the rents and profits therefrom and apply the same as the court may direct, such receiver to have all the rights and powers permitted under the laws of Florida.

 

In either such case, Mortgagee or the receiver may also take possession of, and for these purposes use, any and all personal property which is a part of the Mortgaged Property and used by Mortgagor in the rental or leasing thereof or any part thereof. The expense (including receiver’s fees, counsel fees, costs and agent’s compensation) incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be additional indebtedness of Borrower to Mortgagee secured hereby. Mortgagee shall (after payment of all costs and expenses incurred) apply such rents, issues and profits received by it on the indebtedness secured hereby in such order as Mortgagee determines. The right to enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, to manage and operate the same, and to collect the rents, issues and profits thereof, whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy hereunder or afforded by law, and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. Mortgagee shall be liable to account only for such rents, issues and profits actually received by Mortgagee.

 

19

 

 

15. No Waiver. Any failure by the Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by the Borrower or Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof and the Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by the Mortgagor or Borrower of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by the Mortgagor. Neither the Mortgagor nor any other person now or hereafter obligated for the payment of the whole or any part of the sums now or hereafter secured by this Mortgage shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of the failure of the Mortgagee to comply with any request of the Borrower or Mortgagor or of any other person so obligated to take action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any of the provisions of this Mortgage or of any obligations secured by this Mortgage, or, by reason of the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the security held for the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, or by reason of any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property and the Mortgagee extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of the Note or this Mortgage, without first having obtained written consent of the Borrower or Mortgagor or such other person; and, in the last mentioned event, the Borrower or Guarantor and all such other persons shall continue liable to make such payments according to the terms of any such agreement of extension or modification, unless expressly released and discharged in writing by the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration, any party liable upon or in respect of the Note or any part of the security held for the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage without, as to any other or as to the remainder of the security, in anywise impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any subordinate lien. The Mortgagee may resort for the payment of the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage to any other security therefor held by the Mortgagee, in such order and manner as the Mortgagee may elect.

 

16. Non-Exclusive Remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee by the Note, this Mortgage, or any other instruments securing the Note is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or under the Note, or any other instrument securing the Note, now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, or by statute.

 

17. Successors and Assigns Bound; Joint and Several Liability and Benefits. Whenever one of the parties hereto is named or referred to herein, the heirs, successors and assigns of such party shall be included and all covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage, by or on behalf of the Mortgagor or the Borrower or the Mortgagee, shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective heirs, successors and assigns, whether or not so expressed.

The total amount of indebtedness that may be so secured may decrease or increase from time to time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at one time shall not exceed the principal sum of two times the original loan amount, plus interest thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes, levies or insurance on the Mortgaged Property, with interest on such disbursements at the Default Rate as herein defined.

 

20. Transfer of Ownership. It is understood and agreed by the Mortgagor that as part of the inducement to the Mortgagee to make the loan evidenced by the Note, the Mortgagee has considered and relied on the credit worthiness and reliability of the Mortgagor.

Any such sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or encumbrance made without the Mortgagee’s prior written consent shall be void. If any person should obtain an interest (either legal or beneficial) in all or any part of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the execution or enforcement of any lien, security interest or other right, whether superior, equal or subordinate to this Mortgage or the lien hereof, such event shall be deemed to be a transfer by Mortgagor and an event o f default hereunder. In that event, Mortgagee, at its option (and not to the exclusion of any other remedy which it may have), may declare all the sums secured by this Mortgage to be immediately due and payable.

 

21. Financial Statements. Intentionally deleted.

22. Toxic and Hazardous Wastes. To the Mortgagor’s knowledge, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has in the past been used for handling, storage, transportation, or disposal of hazardous or toxic materials. The Mortgagor further expressly warrants and represents to the Mortgagee that there has been no release or discharge of hazardous or toxic materials, including but not limited to, gasoline or petroleum products, upon the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor shall not use, generate, manufacture, store, dispose on the Mortgaged Property or transport on, to or from the Mortgaged Property any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, or substances defined as or included in the definition of “hazardous substances, hazardous waste, hazardous materials, and toxic substances” under any applicable federal or state laws or regulations in effect during the term of this Mortgage. A violation under the provisions of this paragraph shall be a default under this Mortgage and the Note and the Mortgagee may, at its sole option, declare the entire indebtedness immediately due and payable. The Mortgagee may, at its sole option, obtain at the Mortgagor’s expense a report from a reputable environmental consultant of the Mortgagee’s choice as to whether the Mortgaged Property has been or is presently being used for the handling, storage, transportation, or disposal of hazardous or toxic materials. If said report indicated such past or present use, handling, storage, transportation or disposal, the Mortgagee may require that all violations of law with respect to hazardous or toxic materials be corrected and/or that the Mortgagor obtain all necessary environmental permits before the Mortgagee shall fund any advance under this Mortgage.

 

23. Cross-Col lateral ization and Cross-Default. This Paragraph Left Intentionally Blank.

 

24. Miscellaneous. In the event that any of the covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained in the Note, this Mortgage or any other instrument securing the Note shall be invalid, i !legal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remaining covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained herein and in the Note and any other instrument securing the Note shall be in no way affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

 

25. Attorney’s Fees. The term “attorney’s fees” as used in this Mortgage includes any and all legal fees of whatever nature including, but not limited to, fees resulting from any appeal of an interlocutory order or final judgment or any other appellate proceedings arising out of any litigation or bankruptcy.

26. Cost of Recording Satisfaction. The Borrower shall pay the cost of releasing and satisfying this Mortgage of record, including, without limitation, partial releases hereunder.

 

27. Marshaling and Other Matters. Mortgagor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshaling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Mortgagor hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage on behalf of Mortgagor, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date of this Mortgage and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

22

 

 

28. Indemnification.To the extent of Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor shall protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Mortgagee from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Mortgagee by reason of (a) ownership of this Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents (b) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets, or ways; (d) any failure on the part of Mortgagor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Mortgage; (e) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof; (f) the failure of any person to file timely with the Internal Revenue Service an accurate Form 1099-13, Statement for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate, Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions, which may be required in connection with the Mortgage, or to supply a copy thereof in a timely fashion to the recipient of the proceeds of the transaction in connection with which this Mortgage is made; (g) the presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release, or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials on, from, or affecting the Mortgaged Property or any other property or the presence of Asbestos on the Mortgaged Property; (h) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to such Hazardous Materials or Asbestos; (i) any lawsuit brought or threatened settlement reached, or government order relating to such Hazardous Materials or Asbestos; or (j) any violation of laws, orders, regulations, requirements, or demands of government authorities, which are based upon or in any way related to such Hazardous Materials or Asbestos including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of any remedial action, attorney and consultant fees, investigation and laboratory fees, court costs and litigation expenses.

34. RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Neither the Mortgagor, Borrower, any co-signer, endorser, surety nor guarantor shall have any right of set-off against the Mortgagee under the Note, this Mortgage or under any loan document executed in connection with the loan evidenced by the Note. In addition to the remedies provided for herein, the Mortgagor, Borrower, each co-signer, endorser, surety and guarantor grants to the Mortgagee a security interest in any funds or other assets from time to time on deposit with or in possession of the Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee may, at any time setoff the indebtedness evidenced by the Note against any such funds or other assets, including, but not limited to, all money owed by Mortgagee to Borrower, Mortgagor, each co-signer, endorser, surety and guarantor whether or not due. Mortgagor, Borrower, each co-signer, endorser, surety and guarantor acknowledge and agree that Mortgagee may exercise its right of set-off to pay all or any part of the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest owed on the Note or on any other obligation of the Mortgagor or Borrower to the Mortgagee against any obligation Mortgagee may have, now or hereafter, to pay money to Mortgagor or Borrower, each co-signer, endorser, surety and guarantor.

Mortgagor and Borrower hereby appoint Mortgagee as their attorney-in-fact and authorizes Mortgagee to redeem or obtain payment on any certificate of deposit in which Mortgagor or Borrower have an interest in order to exercise Mortgagee’s right of set-off. Such authorization applies to any certificate of deposit even if not matured. Mortgagor and Borrower further authorize Mortgagee to assess and withhold any early withdrawal penalty without liability against Mortgagee in the event such penalty is applicable as a result of Mortgagee’s set-off against a certificate of deposit prior to its maturity. Mortgagee’s right of set-off may be exercised upon an Event of Default: (a) without prior demand or notice; (b) without regard to the existence or value of any collateral securing the Note; and (c) without regard to the number or creditworthiness of any other persons who have agreed to pay the Note. Mortgagee will not be liable for dishonor of a check or other request for payment where there is insufficient funds in the account (or other obligation) to pay such request because of Mortgagee’s exercise of its right of set-off. Mortgagor and Borrower agree to indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from any person’s claims, arising as the result of Mortgagee’s right of set-off and the costs and expenses, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees.

 

35. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. MORTGAGOR AND BORROWER AND MORTGAGEE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORTGAGE AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE MORTGAGEE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

36. Federal Rights. When the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) is the holder of the Note, this Agreement will be construed and enforced under federal law, including SBA regulations. The Lender or SBA may use state of local procedures for filing papers, recording documents, giving notice, enforcing security interests or liens, and for any other purpose. By using such procedures, the SBA does not waive any federal immunity from state or local control, penalties, taxes or liabilities. As to this Agreement, Borrower, and any Guarantor, may not claim or assert any local or state law against the SBA to deny any obligations, defeat any claim of the SBA, or preempt federal law.

 

37. Counterparts. This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

1. Basis for Affidavit. Affiant has personal knowledge of the matters stated in this Affidavit, all of which are true and correct to the best of Affiant’s information and belief.

2. Company Status. Mortgagor is a Florida land trust existing under the laws of the State of Florida. Mortgagor is authorized to transact business in the State of Florida, with full power and authority to enter into and carry out the terms of the Loan from Lender.

 

3. Record Ownership and Possession. Mortgagor is the record owner of the fee simple title to the Property, subject only to those matters, if any, set forth specifically as exceptions in that certain Policy for Title Insurance, including any and all endorsements subsequent thereto (the “Policy”), issued by Fidelity National Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”), delivered to Lender incident to Borrower’s Loan. Affiant knows of no facts by which Mortgagor’s title to or possession of the Property might be disputed or questioned or by which any claim to any portion of the Property might be asserted adversely to Mortgagor.

 

4. Bankruptcy. No proceedings in bankruptcy or receivership have ever been instituted by or against Mortgagor and Mortgagor has never made an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

 

5. Lawsuits and Liens. Affiant knows of no action or proceeding of any kind which is pending in any state or federal court in the United States to which Mortgagor is a party. Affiant knows of no mortgage, judgment, federal tax lien, mechanic’s lien, or other lien of any kind or nature whatsoever which constitutes a lien or charge upon the Property, except for those matters set forth specifically as exceptions in the Policy. There are no unpaid bills or claims for labor or services performed or materials furnished or delivered to the Property during the past ninety (90) days for alterations, improvements, repair work or new construction upon the Property.

 

28

 

 

6. No Special Assessments, Liens, Etc. Affiant knows of no other liens affecting the Property such as tax liens or special assessment liens for drainage, paving, community or owner’s associations.

 

7. Leases. There are no tenancies or leases affecting the Property, and there are no persons other than Mortgagor in possession of the Property, except as listed and described on Exhibit “B” attached hereto (the “Leases”). Affiant acknowledges that there are currently no defaults under any of said Leases, that there are no other agreements with the described tenants, except as expressly stated in the Leases, and that Mortgagor is in no way obligated to any tenant other than by way of return of security deposits pursuant to the terms of said leases.

 

8. Unrecorded Rights and Violations. Affiant knows of no unrecorded agreements, easements, taxes, assessments or outstanding rights held by any person or entity affecting the Property. There are no existing violations of any conditions, restrictions, limitations or easements affecting the Property.

 

9. Fixtures and Equipment. There are no chattel mortgages, conditional sales contracts, security agreements, financing statements, retention of title agreements, or personal property leases affecting any materials, fixtures, appliances, furnishings or equipment, if any, placed upon or installed in the Property and mortgaged to Lender. Except as otherwise stated in this Affidavit, all plumbing, heating, lighting, refrigerating and other equipment is paid for in full.

12. Hazardous Materials and Radon Disclosure. Affiant has no knowledge of the presence of any unlawful hazardous materials. Affiant acknowledges that radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from the county public health unit.

 

13. Intervening Matters. There are no matters pending against Mortgagor that could give rise to any lien that could attach to the Property between the effective date of the Policy, and the time of recording of the Mortgage to Lender. Mortgagor will not execute or record hereafter any instrument that would adversely affect title to the Property or the priority of the Mortgage to Lender as a first lien on the Property.

 

29

 

 

14. Violations of Law and Zoning. There are no existing violations of any law, ordinance, statute or regulation affecting the Property, the improvements thereon and/or the use and operation of same, nor has Mortgagor received notice of any such violation from any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Property.

Affiant has received no notice from any public or governmental authority regarding any change in zoning, or any other classification, regarding the Property in that the Property may continue to be used for the purpose it is currently being used.

 

15. Authorized Transaction. The Loan from Lender to Borrower, and the conveyance of a mortgage interest in the Property to Lender in accordance therewith, is not a violation of Mortgagor’s Trust Agreementor other agreements or restrictions, if any, affecting Mortgagor (the “Organizational Documents”).

Affiant further understands that this Affidavit will be relied upon by Miller Johnson Law, P.L. (the “Closing Agent”) in closing the above-mentioned Loan to Borrower, all in reliance upon the matters contained in the foregoing Affidavit.

USA REGROWTH FUND LLC, an Oregon limited liability company

16869 SW 65th # 317

Lake Oswego, Oregon 97035

 

This AGREEMENT REGARDING CLOSING OF LOAN (the “Agreement”) is made this 13 day of September, 2018, contemporaneously with the closing of that certain loan in the original principal amount of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00) (the “Loan”) made by USA REGROWTH FUND LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (the “Lender”) to ELITE LEGACY EDUCATION, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Borrower”). As a condition to and as part of closing the Loan, the Lender has required that this Agreement be executed by Borrower and joined by the guarantors of the Loan (the “Guarantors”) and delivered to the Lender.

 

Reference is hereby made to the above described Loan and that certain Loan Commitment Letter (the “Commitment”) dated_________________ , from the Lender to the Borrower relating to said Loan. With regard to the Loan and the Commitment, the undersigned does hereby certify to and agree with the Lender as follows:

 

1.       Specific Post Closing Matters. Attached hereto as Exhibit “A” is a list of specific requirements which must be accomplished by Borrower within the time set forth in said Exhibit “A”. If said matters are not met or complied with within said time period, the same shall be and constitute a default under the Loan. With respect to those matters described in Exhibit “A”, the undersigned understands that the Loan Documents are being executed at this time without all the Loan requirements being met and the execution of the Loan Documents shall not constitute any admission by the Lender that all the Loan requirements have been met as of the date hereof.

 

2.       Default Under This Agreement. The failure of the Borrower, or any Guarantor, to comply with the provisions of this Agreement at any time shall be and constitute a default under the Loan. In the event a default does occur, the Lender shall have the right to exercise any and all rights available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In addition to said right to declare the Loan in default and accelerate said Loan, the Lender shall have the right during the period the Loan is in default to increase the interest rate on the Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. The exercise by the Lender of its right to so increase the interest rate shall not constitute a waiver by the Lender to exercise any other rights it may have during the period of time the Loan is in default, including, but not limited to, the right of the Lender to exercise its right to accelerate the Loan and declare interest thereafter due at the highest rate permitted by law.

 

3.       Counterparts. This Agreement and Joinder attached hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

4       Survival of Agreement. This Agreement shall survive any closing of the Loan or any subsequent modification of the Loan Documents.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed the foregoing Agreement as of the day and year first set forth above.
