B. Rights in Pursuit of Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee in pursuance of the foregoing remedies, or in addition thereto, [i] shall be entitled to resort to its security for the payment of the sums secured hereby in such order and manner as Mortgagee may think fit without impairing Mortgagee’s lien in, or rights to, any of such security and without affecting the liability of any person, firm or corporation for the sums secured hereby, except to the extent that the Debt shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Mortgagee from the proceeds of such security; [ii] may, in Mortgagee’s sole discretion, release for such consideration, or no consideration, as Mortgagee may require, any portion of the Property without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage, or the priority thereof, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the Debt shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Mortgagee for such release; and/or [iii] may accept the assignment or pledge of any other property in place thereof as Mortgagee may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienor.
C. Waiver. Mortgagor hereby waives and releases [i] all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Mortgagee under this Mortgage, [ii] all benefits that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future laws exempting the Property, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment, [iii] all benefits that might accrue to Mortgagor from requiring valuation or appraisement of any party of the Property levied or sold on execution of any judgment recovered for the Debt, and [iv] all notices not herein elsewhere specifically required, of Mortgagor’s default or of Mortgagee’s exercise of, or election to exercise, any option under this Mortgage. Mortgagor further agrees to waive the issuance and service of process and enter its voluntary appearance in any action, suit or proceeding brought in connection with any Event of Default and, if required by Mortgagee, to consent to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Property and of all the earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income thereof. Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatever, claim or take any benefit or advantage of any right under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted to redeem the property so sold, or any part thereof, and Mortgagor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but to suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted. Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to the extent that it lawfully may do so, all right to have the Property marshalled upon any foreclosure hereof.
D. Injunctive Relief. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by Mortgagor of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though other remedies were not provided for in this Mortgage.
E. Continued Lien of Mortgage. No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect in any manner or to any extent, the lien of this Mortgage upon the Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before.
F. Subordination of Tenants’ Rights Under Leases. In the event that Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee at its option to foreclose this Mortgage, subject to the rights of any tenants of the Property if Mortgagee elects that this Mortgage shall be subordinate to rights of tenants, and the failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Debt or any deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Property.
G. Discontinuance of Proceedings: Position of Parties Restored. If Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, any such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to Mortgagee, then in every such case Mortgagor and Mortgagee, shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceeding had occurred or had been taken.
15. Application of Proceeds of Foreclosure. Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of any foreclosure sale of or other disposition or realization upon, or rents or profits from, the Property:
A. First, to the payment or reimbursement of all reasonable advances, expenses and disbursements of Mortgagee (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and costs of counsel and agents incurred in connection with the administration and enforcement of, or the preservation of any rights under, this Mortgage or in the collection of the obligations of Mortgagor under the Loan Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents;
B. Second, in satisfaction of the Debt, whether for principal, interest or expenses in such order as Mortgagee shall designate; and
C. Third, the balance, if any, to be distributed as required by law.
If the proceeds from any such sale of or other disposition or realization upon the Property are insufficient to pay the Debt, Mortgagor shall remain liable for such deficiency.
16. Rents.
A. All Rents shall constitute property of Mortgagee; provided, however, that only such amounts as are applied to the Debt shall be deemed as payments against the Debt. During the term of the loans, the Rents shall not constitute property of Mortgagor (or any estate of Mortgagor) within the meaning of section 541 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 541), as amended from time to time.
B. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, provided no Event of Default exists, Mortgagor shall have the right under a license granted hereby to collect, receive and retain the Rents, but no Rents shall be collected in advance of the due date thereof.
17. Casualty Loss.
A. Notice to Mortgagee. In case of casualty resulting in damage or destruction to the Property, Mortgagor shall promptly give written notice thereof to Mortgagee.
B. Restoration of Property. Unless insurance proceeds are applied to reduce the Debt, then, regardless of the amount of any such damage or destruction, Mortgagor shall at its sole cost and expense, and whether or not the insurance proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace, rebuild or alter the same as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such damage or destruction or with such changes or alterations as may be made at Mortgagor’s election in conformity with and subject to the conditions of Paragraph 5 hereof. Such restoration, repairs, replacements, rebuilding or alteration shall be commenced promptly and prosecuted with reasonable diligence. If [i] estimates received, and/or made, by Mortgagee disclose that the cost or restoration would be in excess of the amount of the insurance proceeds available therefor, or [ii] during the period of restoration by Mortgagor the amount of the insurance proceeds shall not be sufficient to complete such restoration, then in either of such events, Mortgagor shall deposit with Mortgagee the amount required to complete such restoration or such other security as shall be satisfactory to Mortgagee.
C. Application of Proceeds. All proceeds of and payments under insurance policies with respect to any casualty event shall be paid to Mortgagee and applied by Mortgagee first to payment of the actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred by Mortgagee in connection with adjustment of the loss and settlement with the insurance company. The remainder of such insurance proceeds shall be applied by Mortgagee, either [i] in reduction of the outstanding Debt, or [ii] to the payment of the cost of the aforesaid restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or alterations, including the cost of temporary repairs and the cost of protection of property pending the completion of permanent restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or alterations (all of which temporary and permanent repairs, restoration, replacement, rebuilding, alterations and protection of property are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “restoration’).
D. Advancement of Proceeds. If under the provisions of this Paragraph, insurance proceeds are to be applied to the cost of restoration, Mortgagee shall hold such insurance proceeds, together with any amounts deposited with Mortgagee pursuant to Subparagraph 17.B hereof, and advance the same for application to the cost of the restoration from time to time as the restoration progresses. Such funds will be advanced upon the written request of Mortgagor and upon Mortgagor’s compliance with such reasonable requirements therefor as Mortgagee shall impose. Upon completion of all of the restoration in a good and workmanlike manner and substantially in accordance with any plans and specifications therefor that Mortgagee may have required, and upon receipt by Mortgagee of evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that the restoration has been completed and that the Property is not and will not become subject to any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens on account of the restoration or any part thereof, any balance of the insurance proceeds or sums deposited with Mortgagee pursuant to Subparagraph 17.B hereof and not applied to the cost of restoration shall be applied to reduce the Debt, and any balance remaining after repayment of the Debt shall be paid over to Mortgagor.
E. Effect of Default. Notwithstanding any provision of this Paragraph to the contrary, if at any time during any restoration of the Property, an Event of Default shall exist, Mortgagee shall have no obligation to continue to apply insurance proceeds to restoration and may apply such insurance money to reduction of the Debt.
F. No Postponement, Abatement of Scheduled Installments. In no event shall the application to the obligation of Mortgagor, whether or not then due or payable, of any insurance proceeds postpone, abate or reduce any of the periodic installments of principal and interest thereafter to become due under the Debt until the Debt is completely satisfied and paid in full. If Mortgagee shall acquire title to the Property either by virtue of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a judicial sale thereof pursuant to proceedings under this Mortgage, then all of Mortgagor’s estate, right, title and interest in and to all such policies, including unearned premiums thereon and the proceeds thereof, shall vest in Mortgagee.
18. Condemnation.
A. Notice. Right to Participate. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee immediate notice of any actual or threatened commencement of condemnation proceedings or the exercise of the right of eminent domain. In the event that the Property, or any part thereof, shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or by exercise of any right of eminent domain (hereinafter called collectively, “condemnation proceedings”), Mortgagee may on behalf of Mortgagor participate in any such condemnation proceedings and may on behalf of and with the concurrence of Mortgagor adjust, contest, accept, reject or compromise any proposed award and collect and, without the concurrence of Mortgagor, may receive the proceeds thereof and endorse drafts, and Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor for such purposes, such power being coupled with an interest. The decision of Mortgagee with the concurrence of Mortgagor with regard to the adjustment, contest, acceptance, rejection or compromise of any proposed award issued in connection with any condemnation proceedings shall be binding upon Mortgagor. The award that may be made in any such proceeding or the proceeds thereof shall be deposited with Mortgagee and distributed in the manner set forth in this Paragraph. The parties agree to execute any and all further documents that may be required in order to facilitate collection of any award or awards and the making of any such deposits with Mortgagee.
B. Condemnation of All or Material Part of Property. If at any time during the term of this Mortgage title to the whole or a material part of the Property shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or by agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee and those authorized to exercise such right, Mortgagee shall apply such award or proceeds that it receives pursuant to Subparagraph 18.A hereof to payment of the Debt and any balance then remaining shall be paid to Mortgagor. In the event that the amount of the award or proceeds received by Mortgagee shall not be sufficient to pay the Debt, Mortgagor shall, within thirty(30) days after the application of the award or proceeds as aforesaid, pay or cause to be paid such deficiency to Mortgagee. For the purposes of this Subparagraph 18.B, “a material part” shall be deemed to have been taken if the portion of the Property taken shall preclude, in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, the effective use of the Property as an economically viable unit for the permitted purposes for which Mortgagor utilizes such Property.
C. Condemnation of Less than Material Part of Property. If at any time during the term of this Mortgage title to a portion of the Property that does not constitute “a material part” of the Property shall be taken as aforesaid, all of the award or proceeds collected by Mortgagee pursuant to Subparagraph 18.A hereof, shall, [i] be applied to reduce the Debt or [ii] be held by Mortgagee, and applied and paid over toward the costs of demolition, repair and restoration, substantially in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as those provided in Paragraph 17 hereof with respect to insurance and other monies. Any balance remaining in the hands of Mortgagee after payment of such costs of demolition, repair and restoration shall be retained by Mortgagee and applied in reduction of the Debt. In the event that the costs of such demolition, repairs and restoration shall exceed the new amount collected by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall pay the deficiency.
D. Temporary Use or Taking. If at any time during the term of this Mortgage the temporary use of the whole or any part of the Property shall be taken in condemnation proceedings, all of the award or proceeds collected by Mortgagee pursuant to Subparagraph 17.A hereof shall be held by Mortgagee and applied by Mortgagee toward the payment of the monthly interest payment or of the monthly payments of principal and interest due on the Debt until such time as the Debt is completely satisfied and paid, except that, if such taking by condemnation proceedings results in changes and alterations to the Property or any part thereof that would necessitate an expenditure to restore the Property or any part thereof to its former condition, then such portion of the award or proceeds as in Mortgagee’s reasonable estimation shall be necessary to cover the cost of restoration shall at the option of Mortgagee be retained by Mortgagee, without application as aforesaid, and be applied and paid over toward the restoration of the Property, or any part thereof, to its former condition in substantially the same manner and subject to the same conditions as those provided in Paragraph 17 hereof with respect to insurance and other monies. In the event that the costs of such restoration shall exceed the net amount collected by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid the deficiency.
E. Reimbursement of Costs, Fees and the Like. In the case of any taking covered by the provisions of this Paragraph, Mortgagor shall be entitled as a first priority to reimbursement out of any award or awards for all reasonable costs, fees, and expenses incurred in the determination and collection of any such awards.
F. Payments Pending Receipt of Award. Notwithstanding any taking by condemnation proceedings, Mortgagor shall continue to pay interest on the Debt at the rates provided in the Note until any such award or payment shall have been actually received by Mortgagee and applied to the principal sum as provided in this Paragraph, if it is to be so applied under this Paragraph. Any reduction in the principal sum resulting from Mortgagee’s application of such award or payment as hereinafter set forth shall be deemed to take effect only on the date of such application. If prior to Mortgagee’s receipt of such award or payment the Property shall have been sold to Mortgagee or its nominee on foreclosure of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall have the right to receive and retain the entire award or payment.
G. No Postponement or Abatement of Scheduled Installments. In no event shall the application to the Debt of any payment to Mortgagee pursuant to this Paragraph postpone, abate or reduce any of the periodic installments of principal or interest thereafter to become due under the Loan Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents until such amounts are paid in full.
19. Indemnity for Costs. Mortgagor will indemnify against, and on demand repay Mortgagee for any loss, damage, expense, or reasonable attorneys’ fees that may be incurred by reason of any action or proceeding affecting the Property or the title thereto or Mortgagee’s interest under this Mortgage to which Mortgagee is made a party (by intervention or otherwise).
20. Change in Mortgage Tax Laws. In the event of the passage after the date of this Mortgage of any law of the State of Kentucky deducting from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation any lien thereon, or changing in any way the laws now in force for the taxation of mortgages, or debts secured thereby, for state or local purposes, or the manner of the operation of any such taxes so as to affect the interest of Mortgagee, then and in such event, Mortgagor shall bear and pay the full amount of such taxes.
21. Intentionally omitted.
22. No Merger. Unless Mortgagee shall expressly consent in writing, neither fee title nor any other estate shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to merge with any of the Leases, notwithstanding the union of any of the Leases and fee title or other estate, either in any lessor under any of the Leases, in Mortgagor or in a third party by purchase or otherwise. Should Mortgagor acquire fee title to any of the Property, such fee ownership or interest therein shall immediately become subject to the lien of this Mortgage, and Mortgagor shall promptly execute and deliver any instruments the Bank may reasonably require to effect and perfect such lien.
23. Bankruptcy Protection. If there shall be filed by or against Mortgagor a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, Mortgagor shall not seek to reject any of the Leases without Mortgagee’s prior written consent. Mortgagor hereby assigns and transfers to Mortgagee all of its right to apply to the bankruptcy court under Section 365(d) (4) of the Bankruptcy Code for an order extending the period during which the Leases may be rejected or assumed.
24. Agreements Continuing. Absolute. The agreements and obligations of Mortgagor hereunder are continuing agreements and obligations, and are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the genuineness, validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Debt or any other agreement or agreements now or hereafter entered into by Mortgagee and Mortgagor pursuant to which the Debt or any part thereof is issued or of any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such agreements and obligations; without limitation upon the foregoing, the agreements and obligations of Mortgagor shall not in any such way be affected by [i] any renewal, refinancing or refunding of the Debt in whole or in part, [ii] any extension of the time of payment of the amounts due and owing under the Loan Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Debt or any part thereof, [iii] any amendment to or modification of the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or other instrument or instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Debt or any part thereof or any other agreement or agreements now or hereafter entered into by Mortgagee and Mortgagor pursuant to which the Debt or any part thereof is issued or secured, [iv] any substitution, exchange or release of, or failure to preserve, perfect or protect, or other dealing in respect of, the Property or any other property or any security for the payment of the Debt or any part thereof, [v] any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar proceeding commenced by or against Mortgagor or [vi] any other matter or thing whatsoever whereby the agreements and obligations of Mortgagor hereunder would or might otherwise be released or discharged.
25. Partial Invalidity. The invalidity per se or in any application of any one or more paragraphs of this Mortgage or any part of any thereof shall not affect the remaining portions of this Mortgage, all of which are inserted conditionally on their being held valid in law.
26. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications (collectively “notices”) under the provisions of this Mortgage must be in writing (including telexed or telecopied communication) unless otherwise expressly permitted under this Mortgage and must be sent by first-class or first-class express mail, private overnight or next Business Day courier or by telex or telecopy with confirmation in writing mailed first class, in all cases with charges prepaid, and any such properly given notice will be effective when received.

27. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO HEARING PRIOR TO POSSESSION. In authorizing Mortgagee to take possession upon an Event of Default as provided and defined herein, Mortgagor is advised and understands that it may have a constitutional right to notice and a hearing prior to any such taking of possession, but as an inducement to Mortgagee to extend the credit herein referred to, Mortgagor HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS CONFERRED BY ANY EXISTING OR FUTURE LAW TO ANY HEARING PRIOR TO SUCH POSSESSION AND HEREBY RELEASES MORTGAGEE FROM ALL LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH TAKING OF POSSESSION.
28. Maturity Date. The maturity date of this Mortgage, and the date on which the last to mature of the Note matures, is June 17, 2006.
29. Future Advances. To the extent that the Debt is considered in whole or in part a line of credit under KRS 382.385, the parties intend that this Mortgage secure the line of credit. Pursuant to KRS 382.520, this Mortgage shall secure the payment of [i] all renewals and extensions of the Debt described herein; and [ii] any additional indebtedness, whether direct, indirect, existing, future, contingent, or otherwise, of Mortgagor to Mortgagee, said additional indebtedness in no event to exceed the principal sum of $0 in addition to the principal amount of the Debt.
To the extent that the indebtedness evidenced by any of the Debt is deemed to be a “revolving credit plan” or “line of credit” pursuant to KRS 382.385, $2,900,000.00 is the maximum principal amount of credit that may be extended under the line of credit or the maximum credit limit of the revolving credit plan that, in each case, may be outstanding at any time or times under the line of credit or revolving credit plan, and that is to be secured by this Mortgage. It shall be a default under this Mortgage if Mortgagor requests a release, in the manner provided by KRS 382.385 or 382.520, of any portion of the Debt prior to the date that all of the Debt secured by this Mortgage has been paid and the Debt has been terminated in writing, and Mortgagor hereby waives any and all right to request such a release to the maximum extent permitted by law.
