MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Survival of Warranties and Covenants. The warranties, representations, covenants and agreements set forth in the Security Documents and the Loan Documents shall survive the making of the loan and the execution and delivery of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full.
11.2 Further Assurances. Mortgagor, upon the reasonable request of Mortgagee, will execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments (including, without limitation, a declaration of no set-off) and do such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Mortgage and to subject to the lien hereof any property intended by the terms hereof, to be covered thereby and any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements or betterments thereto.
11.3 Recording and Filing. Mortgagor, at its expense, will cause such of the Security Documents and all supplements thereto for which constructive notice must be given to protect Mortgagee at all times, to be recorded and filed, and re-recorded and re-filed, in such manner and in such places as Mortgagee shall reasonably request, and will pay all such recording, filing, re-recording, re-filing taxes, fees and other charges to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated.
11.4 Loan Expenses. To the extent permitted by the laws of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated, Mortgagor shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, recording and performance of the Security Documents, including, but not limited to, fees and disbursements of counsel appointed by Mortgagee to prepare the Loan Documents, implementing the Commitment and close the loan transaction recording costs and expenses, stamp and other taxes, surveys, appraisals and policies of the title and casualty insurance.
11.5 No Representation by Mortgagee. By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled, or to be given to Mortgagee, pursuant to the Security Documents and/or the Loan Documents, including but not limited to any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of income, profit and loss or other financial statement, survey or appraisal, Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal affect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto by Mortgagee.
11.6 Notice. All notices, demands, requests and other communications required under the Security Documents and/or the Loan Documents and the Note shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given when deposited in the United States mail and sent by United States first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party for whom it is intended at its address set forth in the preamble hereof. Any party may designate a change of address by written notice to the others, given at least ten (10) days before such change of address is to become effective.
11.7 Mortgagee’s Right to Perform the Obligations. If Mortgagor shall fail to make (or cause to be made) any payment or perform any Obligation or other act required by the Note, the Security Documents, and/or the Loan Documents, then, at any time thereafter without notice to or demand upon Mortgagor, except as herein provided, and without waiving or releasing any remedy, Obligation, Default or Event of Default, Mortgagee may make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Mortgagor, and shall have the right to enter the Land for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the Mortgaged Property as may be necessary or appropriate for such purpose. All sums so paid by Mortgagee, and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment, shall constitute a part of the Indebtedness and shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee on demand. If Mortgagee shall elect to pay any Imposition, or other sum which Mortgagor is allegedly obligated to pay, Mortgagee shall give written notice of such election to Mortgagor and if Mortgagor fails to pay such Imposition or other sum within ten (10) days after giving said notice, Mortgagee may do so in reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate governmental or non-governmental office, without inquiring into the accuracy, amount or validity of such Imposition or other sum provided Mortgagor has not contested such Imposition under paragraph 4.11. Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Security Documents, Mortgagee shall not be bound to inquire into the accuracy, amount or validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same, provided Mortgagee has given Mortgagor ten (10) days’ written notice of Mortgagee’s intention to pay same. Mortgagor shall indemnify Mortgagee for all losses and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by reason of any acts performed by Mortgagee pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, and any funds expended by Mortgagee to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditures, shall constitute additions to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by the Security Documents and Loan Documents and shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee upon demand.
16

11.9 Successors and Assigns. All of the terms of this Mortgage shall apply to and be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the heirs, devises, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Mortgagor and Mortgagee, respectively, and all persons claiming under or through them.
11.10 Severability. In case any one or more of the Obligations shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remaining Obligations shall be in no way affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

11.12 Applicable Law. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed according to the laws in effect in the state in which the Land is situated.
11.13 Strict Performance. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of the Security Documents or of the Note shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of the Security Documents or the Note, and Mortgagee shall have the right thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of them. Time is strictly of the essence with respect to this Mortgage and Mortgagor’s performance hereunder.
11.14 Headings. The article headings and the section and subsection entitlements hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only, and shall in no way alter or modify the text or substance of such articles, paragraphs and subparagraphs.

The Mortgagor hereby agrees that, in consideration of the Mortgagee funding the Loan, in the event that the Mortgagor shall (i) file with any bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or be the subject of any petition under Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (“Title 11”); (ii) be the subject of any order for relief issued under Title 11; (iii) file or be the subject of any petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to insolvency or bankruptcy, or other relief from creditors for debtors; (iv) have sought or consented to or acquiesced in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator, or liquidator; (v) be the subject of any order, judgment, or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed against such party for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to insolvency or bankruptcy, or other relief from creditors for debtors, the Mortgagee shall thereupon be entitled to relief from any automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of Title 11, or otherwise, on or against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to the Mortgagee under this Mortgage and the Loan Documents, and as otherwise provided by law.
17
ARTICLE XII
CHANGES IN LAW
In the event of the passage, after the date of this Mortgage, of any law: (A) making it illegal for the Mortgagor to pay the whole, or any part of the Impositions, taxes or assessments or charges or liens herein required to be paid by Mortgagor; or (B) rendering the payment by Mortgagor of all taxes levied or assessed upon the Security Documents or the interest in the Mortgaged Property represented thereby unlawful; or (C) rendering the covenants for the payment of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph by the Mortgagor legally inoperative, the entire unpaid balance of the Indebtedness shall, after thirty (30) days’ written notice to Mortgagor, become immediately due and payable, anything in the Note or the Security Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.
ARTICLE XIII
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
13.1 Notice of Sale of Mortgaged Property; Indebtedness Due on Sale of Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall give immediate written notice to the Mortgagee of any proposed sale, conveyance, transfer or change of ownership of the Land, the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof. In the event the Mortgaged Property is sold, conveyed, or transferred without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, (which may be unreasonably withheld) then, at the option of the Mortgagee and notwithstanding any provision of this Mortgage or the Note (or the Security Documents or the Loan Documents) to the contrary, Mortgagee may declare the entire Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, and failure to pay the Indebtedness shall be an Event of Default under Article VI of this Mortgage. Failure of Mortgagee to exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of its right to exercise such option in the event of any subsequent sale, conveyance, or transfer of the Mortgaged Property.
13.2 Maximum Rate of Interest. Anything in the Note, this Mortgage, the Loan Agreement, the Commitment or any other agreements or arrangements by the Mortgagor in connection with the loan evidenced by the Note to the contrary notwithstanding, if from any circumstances whatever fulfillment of any provision of any of the foregoing documents or agreements at the time performance of said provision shall be due shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by the usury laws applicable in the state where the Land is located as preempted and prescribed from time to time by the laws of the United States of America or any rule or regulation of any department or agency thereof, then, ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity so that in no event shall exaction be possible under any of the aforesaid documents or agreements in excess of the limit of such validity, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the limit of such validity, and if under any circumstances whatsoever interest in excess of the limit of such validity will have been paid by the Mortgagor in connection with the loan evidenced by the Note, such excess shall be applied by Mortgagee to the unpaid principal balance of the Note or refunded to the Mortgagor, the manner of handling such excess to be at Mortgagee’s election, and in case any such excess interest has accrued, the Mortgagee shall eliminate such excess interest so that under no circumstances shall interest on the loan evidenced by the Note exceed the maximum rate allowed by applicable law as preempted and prescribed from time to time by the laws of the United States of America or any rule or regulation of any department or agency thereof.
18
13.3 Future Advances. This Mortgage is given to secure not only the existing Indebtedness, but also such Future Advances, whether such advances are obligatory or are to be made at the option of Mortgagee, or otherwise, as are made within twenty years from the date hereof, to the same extent as if such Future Advances were made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage. The total amount of indebtedness that may be so secured may decrease or increase from time to time, but the total unpaid principal balance so secured at one time shall not exceed five (5) times the face amount of the Note, plus interest thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes, levies or insurance on the Mortgaged Property, or other monies expended to protect the security of Mortgagee, with interest on such disbursements. Nothing contained herein shall in anyway be construed to obligate Mortgagee to make any future advances.
13.4 Mortgagor to Furnish Financial Statements. Mortgagor shall annually, until the Indebtedness has been fully paid, comply with the following reporting requirements by providing the following information to Mortgagee:
| a. | Quarterly 10Q reports and annual 10K reports of Borrower and Guarantor when filed with the S.E.C., within two weeks of the time required for filing by the Securities and Exchange Commission; |
| | |
| b. | Financial records for Southeast Power Corporation and other subsidiaries as reasonably requested by Mortgagee; and |
| | |
| c. | Such other financial information or disclosure deemed necessary by Mortgagee from time to time. |
13.5 Loan Agreement. The loan evidenced by the Note and secured by this Mortgage is to be disbursed in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement. Mortgagor agrees to fully, duly and promptly discharge each and every of its agreements contained in the Loan Agreement and comply with, abide by and perform all of terms and conditions thereof. The Loan Agreement provides for and governs the method of disbursements of the principal sum evidenced by the Note and secured by this Mortgage as therein specified and contains various other agreements with respect to the loan transaction. Any default under the provisions of the Loan Agreement shall be and constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the terms of this Mortgage. Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Mortgagee may, at its option, cease making advances to Mortgagor under the Note and take such other action as it may deem necessary to protect its security. Nothing herein or in the Loan Agreement shall obligate Mortgagee to construct or equip any Improvements on the Mortgaged Property or pay for the construction or equipage of any such Improvements. Mortgagee shall not be required to determine whether the loan proceeds disbursed to the Mortgagor are applied in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement or any other document pertaining to the loan hereby secured.
19
13.6 Rights of Mortgagor Under Prior or Subordinate Mortgages and Rights of Mortgagee. (A) Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees (i) to promptly observe and perform all of the covenants and conditions contained in any prior or subordinate mortgage, whether a Permitted Encumbrance or not, on the Mortgaged Property, and which are required to be observed or performed by Mortgagor and to do all things necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired its rights thereunder; (ii) to promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any default by the Mortgagor in the performance and the observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Mortgagor to be performed or observed under such prior or subordinate mortgage or of the occurrence of any event which, regardless of the lapse of time, would constitute a default under such prior or subordinate mortgage and promptly to cause a copy of each such notice given by the mortgagee thereunder to the Mortgagor to be delivered to Mortgagee; (B) In the event Mortgagor fails to make any payment required under such prior or subordinate mortgage or to do any act set forth in the preceding sub-paragraph herein provided, then Mortgagee may, but without obligation so to do, and without notice to or demand upon Mortgagor, and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation hereof, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect its interest under this Mortgage. Mortgagee’s rights hereunder shall specifically include, but without limitation thereto, the right to pay any and all payments of interest and principal, insurance premiums, taxes and assessments and other sums due or to become due under such prior or subordinate mortgage and reimbursement by Mortgagor for such payments shall be due Mortgagee immediately and without demand and such payments shall be secured by the Mortgage; (C) In the event Mortgagor fails to perform any of the terms, covenants and such conditions required to be performed or observed by Mortgagor under such prior or subordinate mortgage, then Mortgagee may, but without obligation so to do, and without notice or demand upon Mortgagor and without relieving Mortgagor from any obligation hereof, take any action Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any such default by Mortgagor. Upon receipt by Mortgagee from Mortgagor of any written notice of default by Mortgagor under such prior or subordinate mortgage, Mortgagee may rely thereon and take any action it deems necessary to cure such default even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof may be questioned or denied by the Mortgagor or by any party on behalf of the Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby expressly grants to Mortgagee, and agrees that Mortgagee shall have, the absolute and immediate right to enter upon the Land or any part thereof to such extent and as often as the Mortgagee in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable in order to prevent or cure any such default by the Mortgagor. Mortgagee may pay and expend such sums of money as Mortgagee in its sole discretion deems necessary for any such purpose, may pay expenses, employ counsel and pay his reasonable attorney’s fees. All costs, charges and expenses so incurred or paid by Mortgagee shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall become due and payable immediately, whether or not there be notice, demand, attempt to collect or suit pending. The amount so incurred or paid by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred until paid by Mortgagor, shall be added to the indebtedness secured by the lien of this Mortgage to the same extent as if paid or expended on the date hereof; (D) Mortgagor agrees that it will not surrender any of its rights under such prior or subordinate mortgage and will not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee consent to any modification, change or any alteration or amendment of such prior or subordinate mortgage or the obligations secured thereby, either orally or in writing, and no release or forbearance of any of Mortgagor’s obligations under such prior or subordinate mortgage whether pursuant to such prior or subordinate mortgage or otherwise, shall release Mortgagor from any of its obligations under this Mortgage; (E) Any default by Mortgagor or any Event of Default under any prior or subordinate mortgage to which this Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property may be subject shall constitute an Event of Default under this Mortgage; (F) The failure of Mortgagor to repay Mortgagee for any sums advanced by Mortgagee under this Paragraph within ten (10) days after demand shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
13.7 Notice and Cure Period. Notwithstanding any provision in the Loan Agreement, the Note, or the Loan Documents to the contrary, an event of default shall not be deemed to have occurred hereunder as to a non-monetary provision of the Loan Agreement unless and until the Borrower shall fail to cure and remedy said non-monetary breach or default within thirty (30) days after the Borrower has received written notice thereof from the Bank, and an even of default shall not be deemed to have occurred hereunder as to a monetary provision of the Loan Agreement unless and until the Borrower shall fail to cure and remedy said monetary breach or default within ten (10) days after the Borrower has received written notice thereof from the Bank.
13.8 Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. MORTGAGOR 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 INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY POST JUDGEMENT ACTIONS 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.
