Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, entities controlled by the Company through its direct or indirect ownership of a majority interest, and any other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Revenue Recognition
Mobile home rental and related income is generated from lease agreements for our sites and homes. The lease component of these agreements is accounted for under Topic 842 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, for leases.
Under ASC 842, the Company must assess on an individual lease basis whether it is probable that we will collect the future lease payments. The Company considers the tenant’s payment history and current credit status when assessing collectability. When collectability is not deemed probable, the Company will write-off the tenant’s receivables, including straight-line rent receivable, and limit lease income to cash received.
The Company’s revenues primarily consist of rental revenues and other rental related fee income. The Company has the following revenue sources and revenue recognition policies:
● | Rental revenues include revenues from the leasing of land lot or a combination of both, the mobile home and land at our properties to tenants. |
● | Revenues from the leasing of land lot or a combination of both, the mobile home and land at the Company’s properties to tenants include (i) lease components, including land lot or a combination of both, the mobile home and land, and (ii) reimbursement of utilities and account for the components as a single lease component in accordance with ASC 842. |
● | Revenues derived from fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable period of the lease. The Company commences rental revenue recognition when the underlying asset is available for use by the lessee. Revenue derived from the reimbursement of utilities are generally recognized in the same period as the related expenses are incurred. The majority of the Company’s leases are month-to-month. |
Revenue from sales of manufactured homes is recognized in accordance with the core principle of ASC 606, at the time of closing when control of the home transfers to the customer. After closing of the sale transaction, the Company generally has no remaining performance obligation.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts currently due from residents. Accounts receivable are reported in the balance sheet at outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs and allowance for losses. The Company records an allowance for bad debt when receivables are over 90 days old.
Acquisitions
The Company accounts for acquisitions as asset acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and allocates the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, site and land improvements, buildings and improvements and rental homes. The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired property generally determined by internal evaluation as well as third-party appraisal of the property obtained in conjunction with the purchase.

Variable Interest Entities
In December 2020, the Company entered into a property management agreement with Gvest Finance LLC, a company owned and controlled by the Company’s parent company, Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC, an entity whose sole owner is Raymond M. Gee, the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer, and has subsequently entered into property management agreements with Gvest Homes I LLC, Gvest Anderson Homes LLC, Gvest Capital View Homes LLC, Gvest Hidden Oaks Homes LLC, Gvest Springlake Homes LLC, Gvest Carolinas 4 Homes LLC, Gvest Sunnyland Homes LLC and Gvest Warrenville Homes LLC, which are all wholly owned subsidiaries of Gvest Finance LLC. Under the property management agreements, the Company manages the homes owned by the VIEs and the VIEs remit to the Company all income, less any sums paid out for operational expenses and debt service but retain 5% of the debt service payment as a reserve.
Additionally, during 2021, the Company formed two entities, Brainerd Place LLC and Bull Creek LLC, for the purpose of exploring opportunities to develop mobile home communities. The Company owns 49% of these entities and Gvest Real Estate LLC, an entity whose sole owner is Raymond M. Gee, owns 51%. The Company also executed operating agreements with these entities which designate Gvest Capital Management LLC, a company owned and controlled by Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC, as manager with the authority, power, and discretion to manage and control the entities’ business decisions. The operating agreements require the Company to make cash contributions to the entities to fund their activities, operations, and existence, if the Company approves the contribution requests from the manager, which ultimately provides the Company with power to direct the economically significant activities of these entities.
A company with interests in a VIE must consolidate the entity if the company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE; that is, if it has both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Such a determination requires management to evaluate circumstances and relationships that may be difficult to understand and to make a significant judgment, and to repeat the evaluation at each subsequent reporting date. Primarily due to the Company’s common ownership by Mr. Gee, its power to direct the activities of these entities that most significantly impact their economic performance, and the fact that the Company has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from these entities that could potentially be significant to these entities, the entities listed above are considered to be VIEs in accordance applicable GAAP.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including vested penny stock options during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options pursuant to the treasury stock method.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the potentially dilutive penny options for the purchase of 428,176 shares of Common Stock were included in basic loss per share. Other securities outstanding as of June 30, 2022 not included in dilutive loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive, were 1,886,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible into Common Stock for a total of 1,886,000 shares.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the potentially dilutive penny options for the purchase of 519,675 shares of Common Stock were included in basic loss per share. Other securities outstanding as of June 30, 2021 not included in dilutive loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive, were 186,500 stock options and 1,890,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, which were convertible into Common Stock for a total of 1,890,000 shares.
Use of Estimates
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Property and Depreciation
Investment real property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation of buildings, improvements to sites and buildings, rental homes, equipment, and vehicles is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging from 3 to 25 years). Land development costs are not depreciated until they are put in use, at which time they are capitalized as land improvements. Interest Expense pertaining to Land Development Costs are capitalized. Maintenance and Repairs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized. The costs and related accumulated depreciation of property sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the financial statement and any gain or loss is reflected in the current period’s results of operations.

Impairment Policy
The Company applies FASB ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant & Equipment,” to measure impairment in real estate investments. Rental properties are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis without interest) from a rental property is less than the carrying value under its historical net cost basis. These expected future cash flows consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. Upon determination that a permanent impairment has occurred, rental properties are reduced to their fair value. For properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the fair value of the property, less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the property measured at the time there is a commitment to sell the property and/or it is actively being marketed for sale. A property to be disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Subsequent to the date that a property is held for disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded. There was no impairment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash balances at banks and deposits at times may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash are financially secure and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $1,830,000 and $763,000 above the FDIC-insured limit, respectively, including restricted cash held for tenant security deposits of $810,280 and $705,195, respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
All stock based payments to employees, nonemployee consultants, and to nonemployee directors for their services as directors, including any grants of restricted stock and stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the statements of operations as compensation or other expense over the relevant service period in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Stock based payments to nonemployees are recognized as an expense over the period of performance. Such payments are measured at fair value at the earlier of the date a performance commitment is reached or the date performance is completed. In addition, for awards that vest immediately and are nonforfeitable, the measurement date is the date the award is issued. The Company recorded stock option expense of $77,822 and $37,817 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Most of the Company’s financial assets do not have a quoted market value. Therefore, estimates of fair value are necessarily based on a number of significant assumptions (many of which involve events outside the control of management). Such assumptions include assessments of current economic conditions, perceived risks associated with these financial instruments and their counterparties, future expected loss experience and other factors. Given the uncertainties surrounding these assumptions, the reported fair values represent estimates only and, therefore, cannot be compared to the historical accounting model. Use of different assumptions or methodologies is likely to result in significantly different fair value estimates.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, and accounts payable approximates their current carrying amounts since all such items are short-term in nature. The fair value of variable and fixed rate mortgages payable and lines of credit approximate their current carrying amounts on the balance sheet since such amounts payable are at approximately a weighted average current market rate of interest.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, with income tax expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there were no such accrued interest or penalties.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period presentation have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reclassed $65,244 from cash used for capital improvements to proceeds from sale of homes within the net cash used in investing activities section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impact of Coronavirus Pandemic
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency.
Some states and cities, including some where the Company’s properties are located, reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “stay at home” rules and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate, as well as guidance in response to the pandemic and the need to contain it.
The rules and restrictions put in place had a negative impact on the economy and business activity and may adversely impact the ability of the Company’s tenants, many of whom may be restricted in their ability to work, to pay their rent as and when due. Enforcing the Company’s rights as landlord against tenants who fail to pay rent or otherwise do not comply with the terms of their leases may not be possible as many jurisdictions, including those where are properties are located, have established rules and/or regulations preventing us from evicting tenants for certain periods in response to the pandemic. If the Company is unable to enforce its rights as landlords, our business would be materially affected.

The extent to which the pandemic may impact the Company’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this report, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and steps taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others. Nevertheless, the pandemic and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment present material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company’s performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value.
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
On May 8, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of designation with the Nevada Secretary of State pursuant to which the Company designated 4,000,000 shares of its preferred stock as Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The Series A Preferred Stock has the following voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions:
Ranking. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to the Common Stock and pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock (as defined below). The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock will not limit the Company’s ability to (i) incur indebtedness or (ii) issue additional equity securities that are equal or junior in rank to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Dividend Rate and Payment Dates. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.017 per share each month, which is equivalent to the rate of 8% of the $2.50 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of the Company’s agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or the Company does not have earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company paid dividends of $188,600 and $187,167, respectively.
Liquidation Preference. The liquidation preference for each share of Series A Preferred Stock is $2.50. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of Common Stock and on a pari passu basis with holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, the liquidation preference with respect to their shares plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the date of payment with respect to such shares.
Stockholder Optional Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the holder thereof and without the payment of additional consideration, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the liquidation preference of such share by the conversion price then in effect. The conversion price is initially equal $2.50, subject to adjustment as set forth in the certificate of designation. In addition, if at any time the trading price of the Common Stock is greater than the liquidation preference of $2.50, the Company may deliver a written notice to all holders to cause each holder to convert all or part of such holders’ Series A Preferred Stock.
Company Call and Stockholder Put Options. Commencing on the fifth anniversary of the initial issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and continuing indefinitely thereafter, the Company will have a right to call for redemption the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a call price equal to $3.75, or 150% of the original issue price of the Series A Preferred Stock, and correspondingly, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a right to put the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder back to the Company at a put price equal to $3.75, or 150% of the original issue purchase price of such shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a put option value accretion of $235,746 and $236,250, respectively.
Voting Rights. The Company may not authorize or issue any class or series of equity securities ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or distributions upon liquidation (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such senior securities) or amend the Company’s articles of incorporation (whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to materially and adversely change the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter by holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a class. Otherwise, holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 1,886,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. As of June 30, 2022, the Series A Preferred Stock balance was made up of Series A Preferred Stock totaling $4,715,000 and accretion of put options totaling $1,362,521.

On May 24, 2021, the Company filed an amended and restated certificate of designation with the Nevada Secretary of State pursuant to which the Company designated 47,000 shares of its preferred stock as Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). The Series C Preferred Stock has the following voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions:
Ranking. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to Common Stock and pari passu with Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series C Preferred Stock do not limit the Company’s ability to (i) incur indebtedness or (ii) issue additional equity securities that are equal or junior in rank to the shares of Series C Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Stated Value. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $1,000, subject to appropriate adjustment in relation to certain events, such as recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Series C Preferred Stock.
Dividend Rate and Payment Dates. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative monthly cash dividends at a per annum rate of 7% of the stated value (or $5.83 per share each month based on the initial stated value). Dividends on each share begin accruing on, and are cumulative from, the date of issuance and regardless of whether the board of directors declares and pays such dividends. Dividends on shares of Series C Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of the Company’s agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or the Company does not have earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid dividends of $275,137.

Redemption Request at the Option of a Holder. Once per calendar quarter, a holder will have the opportunity to request that the Company redeem that holder’s Series C Preferred Stock. The board of directors may, however, suspend cash redemptions at any time in its discretion if it determines that it would not be in the best interests of the Company to effectuate cash redemptions at a given time because the Company does not have sufficient cash, including because the board believes that the Company’s cash on hand should be utilized for other business purposes. Redemptions will be limited to four percent (4%) of the total outstanding Series C Preferred Stock per quarter and any redemptions in excess of such limit or to the extent suspended, shall be redeemed in subsequent quarters on a first come, first served, basis. The Company will redeem shares at a redemption price equal to the stated value of such redeemed shares, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, less the applicable redemption fee (if any). As a percentage of the aggregate redemption price of a holder’s shares to be redeemed, the redemption fee shall be:
● | 11% if the redemption is requested on or before the first anniversary of the original issuance of such shares; |
● | 8% if the redemption is requested after the first anniversary and on or before the second anniversary of the original issuance of such shares; |
● | 5% if the redemption is requested after the second anniversary and on or before the third anniversary of the original issuance of such shares; and |

Manufactured housing communities are residential developments designed and improved for the placement of detached, single-family manufactured homes that are produced off-site and installed on residential sites within the community. The owner of a manufactured home leases the site on which it is located or the lessee of a manufactured home leases both the home and site on which the home is located.
We believe that manufactured housing is one of the only non-subsidized affordable housing options in the U.S. and that manufactured housing is an economically attractive alternative to traditional single-family and multi-family housing, as it provides a housing alternative that has characteristics of single-family housing (no shared walls, dedicated parking and a yard), yet is more attainable than single-family while being competitively priced to multi-family. Demand for housing affordability continues to increase, but supply of manufactured housing remains virtually static, as there are not many new manufactured housing communities being developed, and many are redeveloped to less affordable options. We are committed to providing this attainable housing option and an improved level of service to our residents, while producing an attractive and risk adjusted return to our investors.

Impact of Coronavirus Pandemic
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency.
Some states and cities, including some where the Company’s properties are located, reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “stay at home” rules and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate and is what capacity, as well as guidance in response to the pandemic and the need to contain it.
The rules and restrictions put in place have had a negative impact on the economy and business activity and may adversely impact the ability of the Company’s tenants, many of whom may be restricted in their ability to work, to pay their rent as and when due. Enforcing the Company’s rights as landlord against tenants who fail to pay rent or otherwise do not comply with the terms of their leases may not be possible as many jurisdictions, including those where are properties are located, have established rules and/or regulations preventing us from evicting tenants for certain periods in response to the pandemic. If the Company is unable to enforce its rights as landlords, our business would be materially affected.
The extent to which the pandemic may impact the Company’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this report, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and steps taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others. Nevertheless, the pandemic and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment present material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company’s performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we earned total revenues of $3,371,371, as compared to $1,799,438 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $1,571,933, or 87.36%. The increase in revenues between the periods was primarily due to $1,313,762 of rental income from the acquisition of twenty-seven manufactured housing communities subsequent to June 30, 2021. The remaining increase was due to occupancy and rental rate increases.
Community Operating Expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred total community operating expenses of $1,268,386, as compared to $514,286 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $754,100, or 146.63%. The increase in community operating expenses was primarily due to $454,831 of additional expenses associated with the twenty-seven properties acquired subsequent to June 30, 2021, including additional repairs and maintenance, insurance, utilities, and real estate tax expenses and additional payroll as we hired additional on-site maintenance staff at several of our new parks to increase efficiencies and decrease contract labor costs.

This increase was primarily due to increased payroll including corporate salaries and benefits expense of $572,531 due to hiring additional personnel to support our future growth, of which approximately $276,000 relates to nonrecurring sign-on bonuses and separation pay, and approximately $72,000 is due to additional marketing and travel expenses related to capital markets.

The increase in depreciation was driven by approximately $265,000 related to the depreciation of assets acquired in twenty-seven manufactured housing communities subsequent to June 30, 2021. The remaining increase was due to depreciation of capital improvement projects completed subsequent to June 30, 2021, such as home renovations and new home installations.
Interest Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred interest expense of $1,235,048, as compared to $447,306 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $787,742, or 176.11%. The increase was primarily due to $367,580 of interest on additional debt incurred to acquire new properties and new homes subsequent to June 30, 2021, $81,806 of interest on the related party notes issued subsequent to June 30, 2021, and $195,777 of dividends to series C preferred stockholders, which are included in interest expense given the liability treatment of the mandatorily redeemable Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,070,280, including restricted cash of $810,280. In addition to cash generated through operations, we use a variety of sources to fund our cash needs, including acquisitions and sales of properties. We intend to continue to increase our real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring communities that yield more than our cost of funds and then investing in physical improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. Our ability to continue acquiring communities are dependent on our ability to raise capital. There is no guarantee that any of these additional opportunities will materialize or that we will be able to take advantage of such opportunities. The growth of our real estate portfolio depends on the availability of suitable properties which meet our investment criteria and appropriate financing.
We will require additional funding to finance the growth of our current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives. We believe that our current available cash along with anticipated revenues is sufficient to meet our cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all.
We plan to meet our short-term liquidity requirements for the next twelve months, generally through available cash as well as cash provided by operating activities and with funds available to us under the existing two $2 million revolving promissory notes from our officers, described below. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we entered into an agreement with a lender to potentially refinance several of our loans that would provide additional liquidity. As of the date of this report, we have not entered into a binding agreement and are still negotiating loan proceeds and terms of the new loans.

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that involve significant judgment and potentially could result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies are affected by our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition Mobile home rental and related income is generated from lease agreements for our sites and homes. The lease component of these agreements is accounted for under Topic 842 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for leases.
Under ASC 842, we must assess on an individual lease basis whether it is probable that we will collect the future lease payments. We consider the tenant’s payment history and current credit status when assessing collectability. When collectability is not deemed probable, we write-off the tenant’s receivables, including straight-line rent receivable, and limit lease income to cash received.
Our revenues primarily consist of rental revenues and tenant fee income. We have the following revenue sources and revenue recognition policies:
● | Rental revenues include revenues from the leasing land lot or a combination of both, the mobile home and land at our properties to tenants. |
● | Revenues from the leasing of land lot or a combination of both, the mobile home and land at our properties to tenants include (i) lease components, including land lot or a combination of both, the mobile home and land, and (ii) reimbursement of utilities and account for the components as a single lease component in accordance with ASC 842. |
● | Revenues derived from fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable period of the lease. We commence rental revenue recognition when the underlying asset is available for use by the lessee. Revenue derived from the reimbursement of utilities are generally recognized in the same period as the related expenses are incurred. Our leases are month-to-month. |
35
Revenue from sales of manufactured homes is recognized in accordance with the core principle of ASC 606, at the time of closing when control of the home transfers to the customer. After closing of the sale transaction, we generally have no remaining performance obligation.
Acquisitions. We account for acquisitions as asset acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and allocate the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, site and land improvements, buildings and improvements and rental homes. We allocate the purchase price of an acquired property generally determined by internal evaluation as well as third-party appraisal of the property obtained in conjunction with the purchase.
Variable Interest Entities. In December 2020, the Company entered into a property management agreement with Gvest Finance LLC, a company owned and controlled by the Company’s parent company, Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC, an entity whose sole owner is Raymond M. Gee, the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer, and has subsequently entered into property management agreements with Gvest Homes I LLC, Gvest Anderson Homes LLC, Gvest Capital View Homes LLC, Gvest Hidden Oaks Homes LLC, Gvest Springlake Homes LLC, Gvest Carolinas 4 Homes LLC, Gvest Sunnyland Homes LLC and Gvest Warrenville Homes LLC, which are all wholly owned subsidiaries of Gvest Finance LLC. Under the property management agreements, the Company manages the homes owned by the VIEs and the VIEs remit to the Company all income, less any sums paid out for operational expenses and debt service but retain 5% of the debt service payment as a reserve.
Additionally, during 2021, the Company formed two entities, Brainerd Place LLC and Bull Creek LLC, for the purpose of exploring opportunities to develop mobile home communities. The Company owns 49% of these entities and Gvest Real Estate LLC, an entity whose sole owner is Raymond M. Gee, owns 51%. The Company also executed operating agreements with these entities which designate Gvest Capital Management LLC, a company owned and controlled by Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC, as manager with the authority, power, and discretion to manage and control the entities’ business decisions. The operating agreements require the Company to make cash contributions to the entities to fund their activities, operations, and existence, if the Company approves the contribution requests from the manager, which ultimately provides the Company with power to direct the economically significant activities of these entities.
A company with interests in a VIE must consolidate the entity if the company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE; that is, if it has both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Such a determination requires management to evaluate circumstances and relationships that may be difficult to understand and to make a significant judgment, and to repeat the evaluation at each subsequent reporting date. Primarily due to the Company’s common ownership by Mr. Gee, its power to direct the activities of these entities that most significantly impact their economic performance, and the fact that the Company has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from these entities that could potentially be significant to these entities, the entities listed above are considered to be VIEs in accordance applicable GAAP.
Investment Property and Depreciation. Investment real property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation of buildings, improvements to sites and buildings, rental homes, equipment, and vehicles is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging from 3 to 25 years). Land development costs are not depreciated until they are put in use, at which time they are capitalized as land improvements. Interest Expense pertaining to Land Development Costs are capitalized. Maintenance and Repairs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized. The costs and related accumulated depreciation of property sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the financial statement and any gain or loss is reflected in the current period’s results of operations.
Impairment Policy. The Company applies FASB ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant & Equipment,” to measure impairment in real estate investments. Rental properties are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis without interest) from a rental property is less than the carrying value under its historical net cost basis. These expected future cash flows consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. Upon determination that a permanent impairment has occurred, rental properties are reduced to their fair value. For properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the fair value of the property, less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the property measured at the time there is a commitment to sell the property and/or it is actively being marketed for sale. A property to be disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Subsequent to the date that a property is held for disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded. There was no impairment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2022. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and further referenced below, which, due to employee turnover, we are still in the process of remediating as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
During its evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, our management identified the following material weaknesses:
● | We lack proper segregation of duties due to the limited number of employees within the accounting department. |
● | We lack effective closing procedures. |
To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
To cure the foregoing material weakness, we have taken or plan to take the following remediation measures:
● | We have added and plan to continue to add additional employees to assist in the financial closing procedures. |
● | As necessary, we will continue to engage consultants or outside accounting firms to ensure proper accounting for our consolidated financial statements. |
We intend to complete the remediation of the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable, but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take may not fully address the material weaknesses that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

If, as of each DSCR test date, it is determined in Lender’s sole discretion that the required minimum DSCR of 1.25 to 1.00 has not been met, Lender shall, at its option, require Borrower to either (a), immediately make a mandatory principal payment on the Loan in an amount that will be sufficient to reduce the principal balance of the Loan to an amount satisfactory to Lender so that the required minimum DSCR of 1.25 to 1.00 is met, or (b) deposit with Lender a reserve amount equal to 12 months of debt service payments under the Loan to be held at Lender as additional collateral for said Loan. The failure to satisfy either (a) or (b) above shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. Should Borrower be required to deposit the required funds into a reserve account, Borrower agrees that it will promptly enter into the appropriate account documentation as reasonably required by Lender.
5.12 Maintain Existence. To maintain its existence as a limited liability company and to permit no changes in the membership interests of Borrower without the prior written approval of Lender.

5.19 Assignment or Conveyance. To permit no conveyance, lease, mortgage, or any other alienation or encumbrance of the Properties or Improvements, unless Lender’s prior written approval is first obtained which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Lender’s prior written approval shall not be required for utility easements and other encumbrances that are necessary for the operation of the business in the Improvements provided such utilities do not adversely affect the business (each a “Necessary Encumbrance”), and upon request, Lender will execute a subordination of its lien to such Necessary Encumbrance in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender.
5.20 Supervision and Inspection. Upon reasonable advance written notice from Lender, and during normal business hours, grant Lender and its Representatives full and complete access to all Collateral and to the records, correspondence and other papers relating to the Collateral, and the right to inspect, examine, verify, and make abstracts from and copies of the Collateral and the records, correspondence and papers, and to investigate such other activities and business of Borrower as Lender and its Representatives may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate at the time, provided that (i) such Lender access shall not unduly or unreasonably burden, hinder or delay Borrower or tenant’s use, possession or occupation of the Properties, and (ii) unless an Event of Default is then in existence, any such Lender access (and related activities) granted more than one time per calendar year shall be at Lender’s sole cost and expense, and Borrower shall not have any responsibility to reimburse Lender for any costs related to the same.

5.22 Other Acts. At Lender’s request, to execute and deliver to Lender all further documents and perform all other acts which Lender reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to perfect or protect its security for the Loan.

Further, for all purposes, the “Loan Obligations” under the Deed of Trust and the Loan Obligations under this Loan Agreement shall be deemed to include any and all of the obligations of Borrower and any other borrower or Property owner arising under or relating in any way to any or all of the Loan Documents or the future liability or obligations of Borrower to Lender.

All expenses incurred in connection with the appointment of such receiver, or in protecting, preserving, or improving the Properties, shall be charged against Borrower, and shall be secured by the applicable Deeds of Trust and/or the Mortgage and enforced as a lien against the Properties and Improvements.
7.5 Setoff.

7.7 Other. To exercise any other right, privilege or remedy available to Lender as may be provided by the Deeds of Trust, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and Rents, or under any other security documents relating to the Loan heretofore or hereafter executed in favor of Lender or under applicable law. The enumeration of Lender’s rights and remedies set forth in this Loan Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under any other agreement between Borrower and Lender or that may now or hereafter exist in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between Borrower and Lender or their agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

The monthly principal and interest payments due hereunder shall be charged or credited to this account on each Payment Date or the first Business Day after such Payment Date if the Payment Date falls on other than a Business Day (and such extension of time shall be included in computing the interest then due and payable). Any other deposits or payments Borrower is required to make to Lender or otherwise under the terms of the Loan Documents shall be made by the same payment method and on the same date as the installments of principal and interest due under this Note.
3.3 Late Charge. In the event that any installment of principal or interest required to be made by Borrower under this Note shall not be received by Lender within ten days after a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender, on demand, a late charge of 4% of such delinquent payment; provided, however, that no late charge may be assessed at the Maturity Date. The foregoing right is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights which Lender may have upon Borrower’s failure to make timely payment of any amount due hereunder. Borrower agrees that the damages to be sustained by the holder hereof for the detriment caused by any late payment are extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, and that the late charge of 4% due is a reasonable estimate of such damages, does not constitute interest, and is not a penalty.
3.4 Principal Prepayments for Loan.
(a) Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest as shown on the most recent statement or bill provided to Borrower (if no statement or bill has been provided for any reason, it shall be applied to the unpaid interest accrued since the last payment); then to principal; then to any escrow or reserve account payments as required under any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security instrument or security agreement securing this Note; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs.
2
(b) In the event this Note is prepaid in full prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall also pay to the Lender on the date of such prepayment, a prepayment penalty equal to: (a) 2% of the outstanding principal balance if made on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, or (b) 1% of the outstanding principal balance if made after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to make partial prepayments at any time without penalty.
4. | SECURITY. This Note is secured by, among other things, those certain Deeds of Trust, Assignments of Rents and Leases, Security Agreements and Fixture Filings (the “Deeds of Trust”), that certain Mortgage (the “Mortgage”), the Assignments of Leases and Rents, the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, and the Guaranty, and may now or hereafter be secured by other mortgages, guaranties, deeds of trust, assignments, security agreements, or other instruments of pledge or hypothecation (together with any and all other document now or hereafter given to evidence or secure payment of this Note, as such documents may hereafter be amended, restated or replaced from time to time, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”). |
5. | EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of one or more of the events described in the Loan Agreement as an “Event of Default” shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note. |
6. | REMEDIES. At the election of the holder hereof, and without notice, the principal balance remaining unpaid under this Note, and all unpaid interest accrued thereon and any other amounts due hereunder, shall be and become immediately due and payable in full upon the occurrence of any Event of Default. Failure to exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise same in the event of any subsequent Event of Default. No holder hereof shall, by any act of omission or commission, be deemed to waive any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder or otherwise unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the holder hereof, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. The rights, remedies and powers of the holder hereof, as provided in this Note and in all of the other Loan Documents are cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively, or together against Borrower, Guarantor hereof, the Properties and Improvements and any other security given at any time to secure the repayment hereof, all at the sole discretion of the holder hereof. If any suit or action is instituted or attorneys are employed to collect this Note or any part hereof, Borrower promises and agrees to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. |
7. | COVENANTS AND WAIVERS; EXPENSES. Borrower and all others who now or may at any time become liable for all or any part of the obligations evidenced hereby, expressly agree hereby to be jointly and severally bound, and jointly and severally: (a) waive and renounce any and all homestead, redemption and exemption rights and the benefit of all valuation and appraisement privileges against the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or by any extension or renewal hereof; (b) waive presentment and demand for payment, notices of nonpayment and of dishonor, protest of dishonor, and notice of protest; (c) except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, waive any and all notices in connection with the delivery and acceptance hereof and all other notices in connection with the performance, default, or enforcement of the payment hereof or hereunder; (d) waive any and all lack of diligence and delays in the enforcement of the payment hereof; (e) agree that the liability of Borrower shall be unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other Person or entity for the payment hereof, and shall not in any manner be affected by any indulgence or forbearance granted or consented to by Lender to any of them with respect hereto; (f) consent to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions hereof, and to the release of any security at any time given for the payment hereof, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and to the release of any Person liable for the payment hereof; and consent to the addition of any and all other makers, endorsers, guarantors, and other obligors for the payment hereof, and to the acceptance of any and all other security for the payment hereof, and agree that the addition of any such makers, endorsers, guarantors or other obligors, or security shall not affect the liability of Borrower, any Guarantor, and all others now liable for all or any part of the obligations evidenced hereby. This provision is a material inducement for Lender making the Loan to Borrower. Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender against and hold Lender harmless from and pay all costs and expenses of collection, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees (prior to trial, at trial and on appeal) incurred in collecting the indebtedness evidenced hereby, or in exercising or defending, or obtaining the right to exercise the rights of Lender hereunder, under the Loan Agreement or under any Loan Document, whether suit be brought or not, and in foreclosure, in bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization and other debtor-relief proceedings, in probate, in other court proceedings, or otherwise, and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in protecting or preserving the Properties, Improvements and interests which are subject to the Deeds of Trust, the Mortgage, and/or the other security. |

Borrower agrees that each of the Loan Documents are and will be cross Collateralized and cross defaulted with each other so that an Event of Default under any of Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents and such cross Collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Borrower waives any claims related thereto. |

11
Beneficiary or Trustee may, after an Event of Default, advise third parties of the amount (or estimated amount) of principal, interest and expenses that will be outstanding as of the date of any foreclosure sale and may share any other available information regarding the Property. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, any “release” provision included herein or in any other document whereby Beneficiary agreed to release all or part of the Property upon the payment of less than all of the Obligations shall become void and Beneficiary shall no longer be obligated to release any of the Property until the secured indebtedness has been paid in full.

Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any or all obligations of the landlord under any or all of the Leases, and Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, exercise and enforce any or all of Grantor’s rights under the Leases. Without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, Beneficiary may notify the tenants under the Leases that all Rents are to be paid to Beneficiary, and following such notice all Rents shall be paid directly to Beneficiary and not to Grantor or any other Person other than as directed by Beneficiary, it being understood that a demand by Beneficiary on any tenant under the Leases for the payment of Rent shall be sufficient to warrant payment by such tenant of Rent to Beneficiary without the necessity of further consent by Grantor. Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the tenants under the Lease to pay all Rents to Beneficiary instead of to Grantor, upon receipt of written notice from Beneficiary, without the necessity of any inquiry of Grantor and without the necessity of determining the existence or non-existence of an Event of Default. Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, which appointment shall take effect upon the occurrence of a an Event of Default and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable prior to the full and final payment and performance of the Obligations, in Grantor’s name or in Beneficiary’s name: (a) to endorse all checks and other instruments received in payment of Rents and to deposit the same in any account selected by Beneficiary; (b) to give receipts and releases in relation thereto; (c) to institute, prosecute and/or settle actions for the recovery of Rents; (d) to modify the terms of any Leases including terms relating to the Rents payable thereunder; (e) to cancel any Leases; (f) to enter into new Leases; and (g) to do all other acts and things with respect to the Leases and Rents which Beneficiary may deem necessary or desirable to protect the security for the Obligations.

12

As a matter of right without regard to the adequacy of the security, and to the extent permitted by Law without notice to Grantor, Beneficiary shall be entitled, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, to the immediate appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property and the Rents, whether such receivership may be incidental to a proposed sale of the Property or otherwise, and Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and agrees that such receiver shall have all of the rights and powers granted to Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 7.5. In addition, to the extent permitted by Law, and with or without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, Beneficiary may (a) enter upon, and take possession of (and Grantor shall surrender actual possession of), the Property or any part thereof, without notice to Grantor and without bringing any legal action or proceeding, or, if necessary by force, legal proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and (b) remove and exclude Grantor and its agents and employees therefrom.
7.6 Management of the Property. Upon obtaining possession of the Property or upon the appointment of a receiver as described in Section 7.5, Beneficiary, Trustee or the receiver, as the case may be, may, at its sole option, (a) make all necessary or proper repairs and Additions to or upon the Property, (b) operate, maintain, control, make secure and preserve the Property, and (c) make any necessary Improvements or repairs preserve the Property. Beneficiary, Trustee or such receiver shall be under no liability for, or by reason of, any such taking of possession, entry, holding, removal, maintaining, operation or management, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. The exercise of the remedies provided in this Section shall not cure or waive any Event of Default, and the enforcement of such remedies, once commenced, shall continue for so long as Beneficiary shall elect, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of such remedies may have, for a time, cured the original Event of Default.
7.7 Uniform Commercial Code. Beneficiary may proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any part of the Personalty, and in conjunction therewith may exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Grantor shall assemble all of the Accessories and make the same available within the Improvements. Any notification required by the Uniform Commercial Code shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if sent in accordance with the Notice provisions of this Deed of Trust at least 10 days before any sale or other disposition of the Personalty. Disposition of the Personalty shall be deemed commercially reasonable if made pursuant to a public sale advertised at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation in the community where the Property is located. It shall be deemed commercially reasonable for the Trustee to dispose of the Personalty without giving any warranties as to the Personalty and specifically disclaiming all disposition warranties.
7.8 Application of Proceeds. Unless otherwise provided by applicable Law, all proceeds from the sale of the Property or any part thereof pursuant to the rights and remedies set forth in this Article VII and any other proceeds received by Beneficiary from the exercise of any of its other rights and remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be applied first to pay all Expenses and next in reduction of the other Obligations, in such manner and order as Beneficiary may elect.

Trustee
8.1 Liability of Trustee. Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for, and make no warranties in connection with, the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or the description, value or status of title to the Property. Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent, demand, statement, note or other paper or document believed by Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed by the party or parties purporting to sign the same. Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment, nor for any act done or step taken or omitted, nor for any mistakes of law or fact, nor for anything which Trustee may do or refrain from doing in good faith, nor generally shall Trustee have any accountability hereunder except for willful misconduct or gross negligence. The powers and duties of Trustee hereunder may be exercised through such attorneys, agents or servants as Trustee may appoint, and Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any act, failure to act, negligence or willful conduct of such attorney, agent or servant, so long as the selection was made with reasonable care. In addition, Trustee may consult with legal counsel selected by Trustee, and Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility by reason of any act or failure to act in accordance with the opinions of such counsel. Trustee may act hereunder and may sell or otherwise dispose of the Property or any part thereof as herein provided, although Trustee has been, may now be or may hereafter be, an attorney, officer, agent or employee of Beneficiary, in respect of any matter or business whatsoever. Trustee, however, shall have no obligation to sell all or any part of the Property following an Event of Default or to take any other action authorized to be taken by Trustee hereunder except upon the demand of Beneficiary. The necessity of the Trustee, or any substitute Trustee, making bond is expressly waived.
8.2 Indemnification of Trustee. Grantor agrees to indemnify Trustee and to hold Trustee harmless from and against any and all Claims and Expenses directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from any transaction, act, omission, event or circumstance in any way connected with the Property or the Loan, including but not limited to any Claim arising out of or resulting from any assertion or allegation that Trustee is liable for any act or omission of Grantor or any other Person in connection with the ownership, development, financing, operation or sale of the Property; provided, however, that Grantor shall not be obligated to indemnify Trustee with respect to any Claim arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Trustee. The agreements and indemnifications contained in this Section shall apply to Claims arising both before and after the repayment of the Loan and shall survive the repayment of the Loan, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof and any other action by Trustee to enforce the rights and remedies of Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
8.3 Substitution of Trustee; Multiple Trustees. Beneficiary shall have, and is hereby granted with warranty of further assurances, the irrevocable power, without notice, to appoint a new or replacement or substitute Trustee. Such power may be exercised at any time without notice, without cause and without specifying any reason therefor, by filing for record in the office where this Deed of Trust is recorded a Substitution of Trustee. The power of appointment of a successor Trustee may be exercised as often as and whenever Beneficiary may choose, and the exercise of the power of appointment, no matter how often, shall not be an exhaustion thereof. Upon the recordation of such Substitution of Trustee, the Trustee so appointed shall thereupon, without any further act or deed of conveyance, become fully vested with identically the same title and estate in and to the Property and with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of its predecessor in the trust hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee hereunder. Whenever in this Deed of Trust reference is made to Trustee, it shall be construed to mean each Person appointed as Trustee for the time being, whether original or successor in trust. All title, estate, rights, powers, trusts and duties granted to Trustee shall be in each Person appointed as Trustee so that any action hereunder by any Person appointed as Trustee shall for all purposes be deemed to be, and as effective as, the action of all Trustees.
8.4 Trustee’s Commission. Grantor shall pay a Trustee’s commission and any fees of Trustee and shall reimburse Trustee for expenses in the administration of this trust, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Trustee shall be entitled to a reasonable commission not to exceed 5% of the gross proceeds of the sale for a completed foreclosure. In the event foreclosure is commenced, but not completed, Grantor shall pay all expenses incurred by Trustee, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and a reasonable commission (not to exceed 5%) of the outstanding Obligations) in accordance with the following schedule, to-wit: one-fourth thereof before Trustee issues a notice of hearing on the right to foreclose; one-half thereof after issuance of said notice; three-fourths thereof after such hearing; and the full commission after the foreclosure sale.

Each right, power and remedy of Beneficiary or Trustee as provided for in this Deed of Trust, or in any of the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing by Law, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Deed of Trust, or in any of the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing by Law, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Beneficiary or Trustee of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Beneficiary or Trustee of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.
9.2 No Waiver by Beneficiary or Trustee. No course of dealing or conduct by or among Beneficiary, Trustee and Grantor shall be effective to amend, modify or change any provisions of this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents. No failure or delay by Beneficiary or Trustee to insist upon the strict performance of any term, covenant or agreement of this Deed of Trust or of any of the other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, covenant or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude Beneficiary or Trustee from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any of the Obligations, neither Beneficiary nor Trustee shall be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other Obligations, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to make prompt payment of any such other Obligations. Neither Grantor nor any other Person now or hereafter obligated for the payment of the whole or any part of the Obligations shall be relieved of such liability by reason of (a) the failure of Beneficiary to comply with any request of Grantor or of any other Person to take action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any of the provisions of this Deed of Trust, or (b) any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner or owners of the Property and Beneficiary, or (c) Beneficiary’s extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents without first having obtained the consent of Grantor or such other Person. Regardless of consideration, and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate Lien on the Property, Beneficiary may release any Person at any time liable for any of the Obligations or any part of the security for the Obligations and may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents without in any way impairing or affecting the Lien of this Deed of Trust or the priority of this Deed of Trust over any subordinate Lien. The holder of any subordinate Lien shall have no right to terminate any Lease regardless of whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary may resort to the security or collateral described in this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect in its sole discretion. Grantor hereby waives any rights or remedies on account of any extensions of time, releases granted or other dealings between Beneficiary and any subsequent owner of the Property as said activities are contemplated or otherwise addressed in N.C.G.S. §45-45.1, or any similar or subsequent law.
9.3 Waivers and Agreements Regarding Remedies. To the full extent Grantor may do so, Grantor hereby:
(a) agrees that it will not at any time plead, claim or take advantage of any Laws now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and waives and releases all rights of redemption (including statutory and equitable rights of redemption), valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, extension and notice of election to accelerate the Obligations;
(b) waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Grantor, including the Property, or to a sale in the inverse order of alienation in the event of a foreclosure of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any Law pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents, or other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust to a sale of the Property without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Beneficiary to the payment of the Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever;
(c) waives any right to bring or utilize any defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than one which denies the existence or sufficiency of the facts upon which any foreclosure action is grounded. If any defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than one permitted by the preceding clause, is timely raised in a foreclosure action, such defense, counterclaim or setoff shall be dismissed. If such defense, counterclaim or setoff is based on a Claim which could be tried in an action for money damages, such Claim may be brought in a separate action which shall not thereafter be consolidated with the foreclosure action. The bringing of such separate action for money damages shall not be deemed to afford any grounds for staying the foreclosure action; and
(d) waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies which Grantor may have or be able to assert by reason of the provisions of any Laws, including, without limitation, the rights or remedies set forth in North Carolina Gen. Stat. §26-7, et seq., pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties.
15
9.4 Successors and Assigns. All of the grants, covenants, terms, provisions and conditions of this Deed of Trust shall run with the Land and shall apply to and bind the successors and assigns of Grantor (including any permitted subsequent owner of the Property), and inure to the benefit of Beneficiary, its successors and assigns and to the successors in trust of Trustee.
9.5 No Warranty by Beneficiary or Trustee. By inspecting the Property or by accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled by Grantor or to be given to Beneficiary or Trustee pursuant to this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, Beneficiary and Trustee shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the condition, sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, and such acceptance or approval shall not constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto by Beneficiary or Trustee.
9.6 Amendments. This Deed of Trust may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change is sought.
9.7 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part or in any other respect, or in the event any one or more of the provisions of the Loan Documents operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, then and in either of those events, at the option of Beneficiary, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect the validity of the remaining Obligations, and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.
9.8 Notices. All Notices required or which any party desires to give hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if given in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.
9.8 Joint and Several Liability. If Grantor consists of two (2) or more Persons, the term “Grantor” shall also refer to all Persons signing this Deed of Trust as Grantor, and to each of them, and all of them are jointly and severally bound, obligated and liable hereunder. Trustee or Beneficiary may release, compromise, modify or settle with any of Grantor, in whole or in part, without impairing, lessening or affecting the obligations and liabilities of the others of Grantor hereunder or under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents. Any of the acts mentioned aforesaid may be done without the approval or consent of, or notice to, any of Grantor.
9.9 Cross-Collateralization. Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary has made the Loan to Grantor upon the security of its collective interest in the Collateral and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Collateral taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of security taken separately. Grantor agrees that each of the Loan Documents are and will be cross collateralized and cross defaulted with each other so that an Event of Default under any of Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents and such cross collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Grantor waives any claims related thereto.

11 |
Beneficiary or Trustee may, after an Event of Default, advise third parties of the amount (or estimated amount) of principal, interest and expenses that will be outstanding as of the date of any foreclosure sale and may share any other available information regarding the Property. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, any “release” provision included herein or in any other document whereby Beneficiary agreed to release all or part of the Property upon the payment of less than all of the Obligations shall become void and Beneficiary shall no longer be obligated to release any of the Property until the secured indebtedness has been paid in full.

Without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, Beneficiary may notify the tenants under the Leases that all Rents are to be paid to Beneficiary, and following such notice all Rents shall be paid directly to Beneficiary and not to Grantor or any other Person other than as directed by Beneficiary, it being understood that a demand by Beneficiary on any tenant under the Leases for the payment of Rent shall be sufficient to warrant payment by such tenant of Rent to Beneficiary without the necessity of further consent by Grantor. Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the tenants under the Lease to pay all Rents to Beneficiary instead of to Grantor, upon receipt of written notice from Beneficiary, without the necessity of any inquiry of Grantor and without the necessity of determining the existence or non-existence of an Event of Default. Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, which appointment shall take effect upon the occurrence of a an Event of Default and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable prior to the full and final payment and performance of the Obligations, in Grantor’s name or in Beneficiary’s name: (a) to endorse all checks and other instruments received in payment of Rents and to deposit the same in any account selected by Beneficiary; (b) to give receipts and releases in relation thereto; (c) to institute, prosecute and/or settle actions for the recovery of Rents; (d) to modify the terms of any Leases including terms relating to the Rents payable thereunder; (e) to cancel any Leases; (f) to enter into new Leases; and (g) to do all other acts and things with respect to the Leases and Rents which Beneficiary may deem necessary or desirable to protect the security for the Obligations.

As a matter of right without regard to the adequacy of the security, and to the extent permitted by Law without notice to Grantor, Beneficiary shall be entitled, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, to the immediate appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property and the Rents, whether such receivership may be incidental to a proposed sale of the Property or otherwise, and Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and agrees that such receiver shall have all of the rights and powers granted to Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 7.5. In addition, to the extent permitted by Law, and with or without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, Beneficiary may (a) enter upon, and take possession of (and Grantor shall surrender actual possession of), the Property or any part thereof, without notice to Grantor and without bringing any legal action or proceeding, or, if necessary by force, legal proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and (b) remove and exclude Grantor and its agents and employees therefrom.

Beneficiary, Trustee or such receiver shall be under no liability for, or by reason of, any such taking of possession, entry, holding, removal, maintaining, operation or management, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. The exercise of the remedies provided in this Section shall not cure or waive any Event of Default, and the enforcement of such remedies, once commenced, shall continue for so long as Beneficiary shall elect, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of such remedies may have, for a time, cured the original Event of Default.
7.7 Uniform Commercial Code. Beneficiary may proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any part of the Personalty, and in conjunction therewith may exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Grantor shall assemble all of the Accessories and make the same available within the Improvements. Any notification required by the Uniform Commercial Code shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if sent in accordance with the Notice provisions of this Deed of Trust at least 10 days before any sale or other disposition of the Personalty. Disposition of the Personalty shall be deemed commercially reasonable if made pursuant to a public sale advertised at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation in the community where the Property is located. It shall be deemed commercially reasonable for the Trustee to dispose of the Personalty without giving any warranties as to the Personalty and specifically disclaiming all disposition warranties.
13 |
7.8 Application of Proceeds. Unless otherwise provided by applicable Law, all proceeds from the sale of the Property or any part thereof pursuant to the rights and remedies set forth in this Article VII and any other proceeds received by Beneficiary from the exercise of any of its other rights and remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be applied first to pay all Expenses and next in reduction of the other Obligations, in such manner and order as Beneficiary may elect.

Trustee

Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent, demand, statement, note or other paper or document believed by Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed by the party or parties purporting to sign the same. Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment, nor for any act done or step taken or omitted, nor for any mistakes of law or fact, nor for anything which Trustee may do or refrain from doing in good faith, nor generally shall Trustee have any accountability hereunder except for willful misconduct or gross negligence. The powers and duties of Trustee hereunder may be exercised through such attorneys, agents or servants as Trustee may appoint, and Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any act, failure to act, negligence or willful conduct of such attorney, agent or servant, so long as the selection was made with reasonable care. In addition, Trustee may consult with legal counsel selected by Trustee, and Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility by reason of any act or failure to act in accordance with the opinions of such counsel. Trustee may act hereunder and may sell or otherwise dispose of the Property or any part thereof as herein provided, although Trustee has been, may now be or may hereafter be, an attorney, officer, agent or employee of Beneficiary, in respect of any matter or business whatsoever. Trustee, however, shall have no obligation to sell all or any part of the Property following an Event of Default or to take any other action authorized to be taken by Trustee hereunder except upon the demand of Beneficiary. The necessity of the Trustee, or any substitute Trustee, making bond is expressly waived.
8.2 Indemnification of Trustee. Grantor agrees to indemnify Trustee and to hold Trustee harmless from and against any and all Claims and Expenses directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from any transaction, act, omission, event or circumstance in any way connected with the Property or the Loan, including but not limited to any Claim arising out of or resulting from any assertion or allegation that Trustee is liable for any act or omission of Grantor or any other Person in connection with the ownership, development, financing, operation or sale of the Property; provided, however, that Grantor shall not be obligated to indemnify Trustee with respect to any Claim arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Trustee. The agreements and indemnifications contained in this Section shall apply to Claims arising both before and after the repayment of the Loan and shall survive the repayment of the Loan, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof and any other action by Trustee to enforce the rights and remedies of Beneficiary or Trustee hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
14 |
8.3 Substitution of Trustee; Multiple Trustees. Beneficiary shall have, and is hereby granted with warranty of further assurances, the irrevocable power, without notice, to appoint a new or replacement or substitute Trustee. Such power may be exercised at any time without notice, without cause and without specifying any reason therefor, by filing for record in the office where this Deed of Trust is recorded a Substitution of Trustee. The power of appointment of a successor Trustee may be exercised as often as and whenever Beneficiary may choose, and the exercise of the power of appointment, no matter how often, shall not be an exhaustion thereof. Upon the recordation of such Substitution of Trustee, the Trustee so appointed shall thereupon, without any further act or deed of conveyance, become fully vested with identically the same title and estate in and to the Property and with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of its predecessor in the trust hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee hereunder. Whenever in this Deed of Trust reference is made to Trustee, it shall be construed to mean each Person appointed as Trustee for the time being, whether original or successor in trust. All title, estate, rights, powers, trusts and duties granted to Trustee shall be in each Person appointed as Trustee so that any action hereunder by any Person appointed as Trustee shall for all purposes be deemed to be, and as effective as, the action of all Trustees.
8.4 Trustee’s Commission. Grantor shall pay a Trustee’s commission and any fees of Trustee and shall reimburse Trustee for expenses in the administration of this trust, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Trustee shall be entitled to a reasonable commission not to exceed 5% of the gross proceeds of the sale for a completed foreclosure. In the event foreclosure is commenced, but not completed, Grantor shall pay all expenses incurred by Trustee, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and a reasonable commission (not to exceed 5%) of the outstanding Obligations) in accordance with the following schedule, to-wit: one-fourth thereof before Trustee issues a notice of hearing on the right to foreclose; one-half thereof after issuance of said notice; three-fourths thereof after such hearing; and the full commission after the foreclosure sale.

Each right, power and remedy of Beneficiary or Trustee as provided for in this Deed of Trust, or in any of the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing by Law, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Deed of Trust, or in any of the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing by Law, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Beneficiary or Trustee of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Beneficiary or Trustee of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.
15 |
9.2 No Waiver by Beneficiary or Trustee. No course of dealing or conduct by or among Beneficiary, Trustee and Grantor shall be effective to amend, modify or change any provisions of this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents. No failure or delay by Beneficiary or Trustee to insist upon the strict performance of any term, covenant or agreement of this Deed of Trust or of any of the other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, covenant or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude Beneficiary or Trustee from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any of the Obligations, neither Beneficiary nor Trustee shall be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other Obligations, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to make prompt payment of any such other Obligations. Neither Grantor nor any other Person now or hereafter obligated for the payment of the whole or any part of the Obligations shall be relieved of such liability by reason of (a) the failure of Beneficiary to comply with any request of Grantor or of any other Person to take action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any of the provisions of this Deed of Trust, or (b) any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner or owners of the Property and Beneficiary, or (c) Beneficiary’s extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents without first having obtained the consent of Grantor or such other Person. Regardless of consideration, and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate Lien on the Property, Beneficiary may release any Person at any time liable for any of the Obligations or any part of the security for the Obligations and may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents without in any way impairing or affecting the Lien of this Deed of Trust or the priority of this Deed of Trust over any subordinate Lien. The holder of any subordinate Lien shall have no right to terminate any Lease regardless of whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary may resort to the security or collateral described in this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect in its sole discretion. Grantor hereby waives any rights or remedies on account of any extensions of time, releases granted or other dealings between Beneficiary and any subsequent owner of the Property as said activities are contemplated or otherwise addressed in N.C.G.S. §45-45.1, or any similar or subsequent law.
9.3 Waivers and Agreements Regarding Remedies. To the full extent Grantor may do so, Grantor hereby:
(a) agrees that it will not at any time plead, claim or take advantage of any Laws now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and waives and releases all rights of redemption (including statutory and equitable rights of redemption), valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, extension and notice of election to accelerate the Obligations;
(b) waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Grantor, including the Property, or to a sale in the inverse order of alienation in the event of a foreclosure of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any Law pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents, or other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust to a sale of the Property without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Beneficiary to the payment of the Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever;
(c) waives any right to bring or utilize any defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than one which denies the existence or sufficiency of the facts upon which any foreclosure action is grounded. If any defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than one permitted by the preceding clause, is timely raised in a foreclosure action, such defense, counterclaim or setoff shall be dismissed. If such defense, counterclaim or setoff is based on a Claim which could be tried in an action for money damages, such Claim may be brought in a separate action which shall not thereafter be consolidated with the foreclosure action. The bringing of such separate action for money damages shall not be deemed to afford any grounds for staying the foreclosure action; and
16 |
(d) waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies which Grantor may have or be able to assert by reason of the provisions of any Laws, including, without limitation, the rights or remedies set forth in North Carolina Gen. Stat. §26-7, et seq., pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties.
9.4 Successors and Assigns. All of the grants, covenants, terms, provisions and conditions of this Deed of Trust shall run with the Land and shall apply to and bind the successors and assigns of Grantor (including any permitted subsequent owner of the Property), and inure to the benefit of Beneficiary, its successors and assigns and to the successors in trust of Trustee.
9.5 No Warranty by Beneficiary or Trustee. By inspecting the Property or by accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled by Grantor or to be given to Beneficiary or Trustee pursuant to this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, Beneficiary and Trustee shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the condition, sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, and such acceptance or approval shall not constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto by Beneficiary or Trustee.
9.6 Amendments. This Deed of Trust may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change is sought.
9.7 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part or in any other respect, or in the event any one or more of the provisions of the Loan Documents operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, then and in either of those events, at the option of Beneficiary, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect the validity of the remaining Obligations, and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.
9.8 Notices. All Notices required or which any party desires to give hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if given in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.
9.8 Joint and Several Liability. If Grantor consists of two (2) or more Persons, the term “Grantor” shall also refer to all Persons signing this Deed of Trust as Grantor, and to each of them, and all of them are jointly and severally bound, obligated and liable hereunder. Trustee or Beneficiary may release, compromise, modify or settle with any of Grantor, in whole or in part, without impairing, lessening or affecting the obligations and liabilities of the others of Grantor hereunder or under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents. Any of the acts mentioned aforesaid may be done without the approval or consent of, or notice to, any of Grantor.
9.9 Cross-Collateralization. Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary has made the Loan to Grantor upon the security of its collective interest in the Collateral and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Collateral taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of security taken separately. Grantor agrees that each of the Loan Documents are and will be cross collateralized and cross defaulted with each other so that an Event of Default under any of Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents and such cross collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Grantor waives any claims related thereto.

ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
THIS ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS (this “Assignment”), dated as of April 14, 2022, by and between CHARLOTTE 3 PARK MHP LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, whose address is 136 Main Street, Pineville, NC 28134 (“Assignor”), to TOWNEBANK, a Virginia state bank (“Assignee”), having its place of business at 6337 Morrison Boulevard, Charlotte, NC 28211.
WITNESSETH:
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Assignor hereby grants, transfers and assigns to Assignee all of the right, title and interest of Assignor in and to all leases now or hereafter entered into whether oral or written which demise any portion of the real estate described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto (“Premises”), together with any and all extensions and renewals thereof (all such leases being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Leases”), together with any guarantees of the tenants’ obligations thereunder, together with the immediate and continuing right to collect and receive all rents, revenues, income, payments, issues and profits arising from the Leases or out of the Premises or any part thereof, together with the right to all proceeds payable to Assignor pursuant to any purchase options on the part of the tenants under the Leases, together with all payments derived therefrom including but not limited to claims for the recovery of damages done to the Premises or for the abatement of any nuisance existing thereon, claims for damages resulting from default under said Leases whether resulting from acts of insolvency or acts of bankruptcy or otherwise, and lump sum payments for the cancellation of said Leases or the waiver of any obligation or term thereof prior to the expiration date and the return of any insurance premiums or ad valorem tax payments made in advance and subsequently refunded (hereinafter referred to as the “Rents”), all for the purpose of securing the following (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Indebtedness”):
A. Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by that certain Promissory Note (“Note”) (including any extensions or renewals thereof) in the principal sum of the lesser of (a) the aggregate principal amount of $3,158,400.00, (b) 75% of the appraised value of the Collateral or (c) 75% of Lender approved costs to finance the Properties, executed and delivered of even date herewith by Assignor pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and payable to the order of Assignee by and between Borrower and Lender (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), and is secured by, among other things, a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Leases, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing Statement (“Deed of Trust”) of same date from Assignor to Assignee upon the Premises, filed for record in York County, South Carolina. The Note, the Deed of Trust, the Loan Agreement and such other documents related to the Indebtedness are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”; and
B. Payment of all other sums with interest thereon becoming due and payable to Assignee pursuant to the terms of this Assignment and the Loan Documents; and
C. Performance and discharge of each and every obligation, covenant and agreement of Assignor pursuant to the terms of this Assignment and the Loan Documents.
All capitalized terms used and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
AND ASSIGNOR FURTHER AGREES, ASSIGNS AND COVENANTS:
1. | Leases. To faithfully abide by, perform and discharge each and every obligation, covenant and agreement of the Leases by Assignor to be performed; to use its best efforts to enforce or secure the performance of each and every obligation, covenant, condition and agreement of the Leases by the tenants to be performed; not to borrow against, pledge, or assign any of Assignor’s rights under the Leases or any rentals due thereunder; not to consent to a subordination or assignment of the interest of the tenants under the Leases to any party other than Assignee; not to anticipate the Rents under the Leases for more than one month in advance or reduce the amount of the Rents thereunder; and not to incur any indebtedness to the tenants without the prior written consent of Assignee. With respect to all Leases of the Premises, Assignor agrees that it will not modify, terminate, extend or renew (except on terms set forth in a Lease approved by Assignee and provided such terms do not adversely affect the financial terms of such Lease), accept a surrender of or in any way alter the terms of the Leases nor waive, excuse, condone or in any manner release or discharge the tenants of or from their obligations, covenants and agreements to be performed without the prior written consent of Assignee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the event that Assignor enters into any subleases or other occupancy arrangements with unrelated third parties for all or any portion of the Premises, Assignor shall provide Assignee with copies of such subleases or other agreement within 10 days after execution. Assignor will not enter into any additional Leases without the prior written consent of Assignee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In addition, Assignor covenants and agrees that, with respect to all Leases: (a) it shall lease all space on the Premises at market rental rates unless approved in writing by Assignee; and (b) any action taken with respect to any lease shall be taken in the ordinary course of Assignor’s business in conformance with commercially reasonable, prudent and sound business practice. Assignor will deliver copies of all Lease amendments and new Leases to Assignee within 30 days after execution. |
2. | Protect Security. At Assignor’s sole cost and expense, to appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, growing out of or in any manner connected with the Leases or the obligations, duties or liabilities of the lessor thereunder, and to pay all costs and expenses of Assignee, including attorneys’ fees, in any such action or proceeding in which Assignee in its sole discretion may appear. |
3. | Representations. Assignor represents and warrants that: (a) it has good title to the Leases with full right to assign the same and the Rents due thereunder; (b) the Leases are valid, enforceable, in full force and effect and have not been modified or amended; (c) there are no outstanding assignments or pledges of the Leases or Rents due thereunder; (d) there are no existing defaults under the provisions of the Leases on the part of any party thereto; (e) no Rents have been waived, anticipated, discounted, setoff, compromised, discharged or released; and (f) the tenants under the Leases have no defenses, setoffs, or counterclaims against Assignor. |
4. | Present Assignment. This Assignment shall constitute a perfected, absolute, and present assignment of the Leases and Rents, provided Assignee hereby grants a license to Assignor to collect all of the Rents, but not prior to accrual, and to retain, use and enjoy the same unless and until an Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, shall occur and be continuing. |
5. | Event of Default and Remedies. The occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, shall constitute an Event of Default under the terms of this Assignment (hereinafter referred to as the “Event of Default”). Upon or at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, Assignee may, without regard to waste, adequacy of the security or solvency of Assignor, declare all Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, may revoke the license granted Assignor hereunder to collect the Rents, and may, at its option, without notice, either: |
a. | in person or by agent, with or without taking possession of or entering the Premises, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, give, or require Assignor to give, notice to the tenants under the Leases authorizing and directing the tenants to pay all Rents directly to Assignee; collect all of the Rents; enforce the payment thereof and exercise all of the rights of Assignor under the Leases and all of the rights of Assignee hereunder; and may enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate the Premises, or any part thereof; may cancel, enforce or modify the Leases, and fix or modify Rents, and do any acts which Assignee deems proper to protect the security hereof; or |
b. | apply for appointment of a receiver as a matter of right and without notice in accordance with the statutes and law made and provided for, which receivership Assignor hereby consents to, who shall collect the Rents; manage the Premises so as to prevent waste; execute Leases within or beyond the period of receivership; perform the terms of this Assignment and apply the Rents as hereinafter provided. |
The entering upon and taking possession of such Premises, the appointment of a receiver, the collection of such Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure or waive any default or waive, modify or affect notice of default under the Loan Agreement or invalidate any act done pursuant to said notice, nor in any way operate to prevent Assignee from pursuing any remedy which now or hereafter it may have under the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement or the Note secured thereby or any other instruments securing the same. The rights and powers of Assignee hereunder shall remain in full force and effect both prior to and after any foreclosure of the Deed of Trust and any sale pursuant thereto and until expiration of the period of redemption from said sale, regardless of whether a deficiency remains from said sale. The purchaser at any foreclosure sale, including Assignee, shall have the right, at any time and without limitation, to advance money to any receiver appointed hereunder to pay any part or all of the items which the receiver would otherwise be authorized to pay if cash were available from the Premises and the sum so advanced, with interest at the Default Rate, as defined in the Note, shall be a part of the sum required to be paid to redeem from any foreclosure sale.
2
6. | Application of Rents. Any Rents shall be applied to the following items in such order as Assignee shall deem proper in its sole discretion: (a) to payment of all fees of any receiver appointed hereunder; (b) to payment of attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses incurred incident to taking and retaining possession of the Premises; (c) to payment when due of prior or current real estate taxes or special assessments with respect to the Premises or, if the Deed of Trust so requires, to the periodic escrow for payment of the taxes or special assessments then due; (d) to payment when due of premiums for insurance of the type required by the Deed of Trust or Loan Agreement or, if the Deed of Trust or Loan Agreement so requires, to the periodic escrow for the payment of premiums then due; (e) to payment of all expenses necessary for managing and securing the Premises, including without being limited thereto, the salaries, fees and wages of a managing agent and such other employees or agents as may be necessary or desirable and all expenses of operating and maintaining the Premises; (f) to payment of all costs of any alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements of any improvements on the Premises, and (g) to payment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness which has become due and payable in such order as Assignee may determine. |
7. | No Liability for Assignee. Assignee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does it hereby undertake to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under said Leases, nor shall this Assignment operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Premises upon Assignee, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of said Leases; nor shall it operate to make Assignee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Premises, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Premises, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of said Premises resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger, nor liable for laches or failure to collect the Rents, and Assignee shall be required to account only for such moneys as are actually received by it. All actions taken by Assignee pursuant to this Assignment shall be taken for the purposes of protecting Assignee’s security, and Assignor hereby agrees that nothing herein contained and no actions taken by Assignee pursuant to this Assignment, including, but not limited to, Assignee’s approval or rejection of any Lease for any portion of the Premises, shall in any way alter or impact the obligation of Assignor to pay the Indebtedness. Assignor hereby waives any defense or claim that may now exist or hereinafter arise by reason of any action taken by Assignee pursuant to this Assignment. |
8. | Assignor to Hold Assignee Harmless. Assignor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and to hold Assignee harmless of and from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or might incur under the Leases or under or by reason of this Assignment and of and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against it by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in said Leases. Should Assignee incur any such liability, or any costs or expenses in the defense of any such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees, shall be secured hereby, shall be added to the Indebtedness and Assignor shall reimburse Assignee therefor immediately upon demand, and the continuing failure of Assignor so to do shall constitute a default hereunder and an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement. |
9. | Security Deposits. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Assignor agrees on demand to transfer to Assignee any security deposits held by Assignor under the terms of the Leases. Assignor agrees that such security deposits may be held by Assignee without any allowance of interest thereon, except statutory interest accruing to the benefit of the tenants and shall become the absolute property of Assignee upon a default hereunder or an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement to be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Leases. Until Assignee makes such demand, and the deposits are paid over to Assignee, Assignee assumes no responsibility to the tenants for any such security deposit. |
3
10. | Authorization to Tenants. The tenants under the Leases are hereby irrevocably authorized and directed to recognize the claims of Assignee or any receiver appointed hereunder without investigating the reason for any action taken by Assignee or such receiver, or the validity or the amount of indebtedness owing to Assignee, or the existence of any default in any Loan Document or under or by reason of this Assignment, or the application to be made by Assignee or receiver. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Assignor hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes the tenants to pay to Assignee or such receiver all sums due under the Leases and consents and directs that said sums shall be paid to Assignee or any such receiver in accordance with the terms of its receivership without the necessity for a judicial determination that a default has occurred hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or that Assignee is entitled to exercise its rights hereunder, and to the extent such sums are paid to Assignee or such receiver, Assignor agrees that the tenants shall have no further liability to Assignor for the same. The sole signature of Assignee or such receiver shall be sufficient for the exercise of any rights under this Assignment and the sole receipt of Assignee or such receiver for any sums received shall be a full discharge and release therefor to any such tenants or occupants of the Premises. Checks for all or any part of the Rents collected under this Assignment shall upon notice from Assignee or such receiver be drawn to the exclusive order of Assignee or such receiver. |
11. | Satisfaction. Upon the payment in full of all Indebtedness as evidenced by a recorded satisfaction of the Deed of Trust executed by Assignee, or its subsequent assign, this Assignment shall without the need for any further satisfaction or release become null and void and be of no further effect. |
12. | Assignee Creditor of the Tenants Upon Bankruptcy. Upon or at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default in the payment of any Indebtedness or in the performance of any obligation, covenant, or agreement pursuant to the terms of this Assignment or any of the Loan Documents, Assignor agrees that Assignee, and not Assignor, shall be and be deemed to be the creditor of the tenants in respect of assignments for the benefit of creditors and bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, dissolution, or receivership proceedings affecting such tenants (without obligation on the part of Assignee, however, to file or make timely filings of claims in such proceedings or otherwise to pursue creditors’ rights therein, and reserving the right to Assignor to make such filing in such event) including without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Assignor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the tenant under a Lease under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Assignee shall have the option to apply any money received by Assignee as such creditor in reduction of the Indebtedness. |
13. | Assignor Bankruptcy. If there shall be filed by or against Assignor a petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and Assignor, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, then Assignor shall give Assignee not less than 10 days prior notice of the date on which Assignor shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Lease. Assignee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Assignor within such ten-day period a notice stating that (i) Assignee demands that Assignor assume and assign the Lease to Assignee pursuant to Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Assignee covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Lease. If Assignee serves upon Assignor the notice described in the preceding sentence, Assignor shall not seek to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within 30 days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Assignee of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. |
14. | Assignee Attorney-In-Fact. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints Assignee and its successors and assigns as its agent and attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to exercise any rights or remedies hereunder and to execute and deliver during the term of this Assignment such instruments as Assignee may deem necessary to make this Assignment and any further assignment effective. |
15. | Subsequent Leases. Until the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Assignor will deliver to Assignee executed copies of any and all other and future Leases upon all or any part of the said Premises and agrees to make, execute and deliver unto Assignee upon demand and at any time or times, any and all assignments and other instruments sufficient to assign the Leases and the Rents thereunder to Assignee or that Assignee may deem to be advisable for carrying out the true purposes and intent of this Assignment. From time to time on request of Assignee, Assignor agrees to furnish Assignee with a rent roll of the Premises disclosing current tenancies, rents payable, and such other matters as Assignee may request. |
16. | General Assignment of Leases and Rents. The rights contained in this Assignment are in addition to and shall be cumulative with the rights given and created in the Deed of Trust, assigning generally all leases, rents and profits of the Premises and shall in no way limit the rights created thereunder. The granting of this Assignment is a condition precedent to Assignee’s making of the loan secured hereby. To the extent that the terms of the Deed of Trust are inconsistent with the terms of this Assignment, the terms of this Assignment shall control. |
4
17. | No Mortgagee in Possession. Nothing herein contained and no actions taken pursuant to this Assignment shall be construed as constituting Assignee a “Mortgagee in Possession.” |
18. | Continuing Rights. The rights and powers of Assignee or any receiver hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect until all Indebtedness, including any deficiency remaining from a foreclosure sale, are paid in full, and shall continue after commencement of a foreclosure action and, if Assignee be the purchaser at the foreclosure sale, after foreclosure sale and until expiration of the equity of redemption. |
19. | Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with regard to the performance of the obligations of Assignor in this Assignment and each and every term, covenant and condition herein by or applicable to Assignor. |
20. | Governing Law. This Assignment and the rights and obligations of all parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state or commonwealth in which the Premises is located. |
21. | Jurisdiction.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent Assignee from bringing any action or exercising any rights against any security given to Assignee by Assignor, or against Assignor personally, or against any property of Assignor, within any other state. Commencement of any such action or proceeding in any other state shall not constitute a waiver of the agreement as to the laws of the state or commonwealth which shall govern the rights and obligations of Assignor and Assignee hereunder. |
22. | Captions. The captions to the sections of this Assignment are for convenience only and shall not be deemed part of the text of the respective sections and shall not vary, by implication or otherwise, any of the provisions of this Assignment. |
23. | Notices.

However, if any provision or any portion of any provision contained in this Assignment is held by a court of law to be invalid, illegal, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written in any respect, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion or provision shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that it is legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Assignment shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion or provision was not contained therein, and the rights, obligations and interests of Assignor and Assignee under the remainder of this Assignment shall continue in full force and effect. |
5
25. | Cross-Collateralization. Assignor acknowledges that Assignee has made the Loan to Assignor upon the security of its collective interest in the Collateral and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Collateral taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of security taken separately. Assignor agrees that each of the Loan Documents are and will be cross collateralized and cross defaulted with each other so that an Event of Default under any of Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents and such cross collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Assignor waives any claims related thereto. |
26. | Successors and Assigns. This Assignment and each and every covenant, agreement and other provision hereof shall be binding upon Assignor and its successors and assigns, including, without limitation each and every person or entity that may, from time to time, be record owner of the Premises or any other person having an interest therein, shall run with the land and shall inure to the benefit of Assignee and its successors and assigns.

28. | Costs of Enforcement. Assignor agrees to pay the costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Assignee in the exercise of any right or remedy available to it under this Assignment. If Assignee retains attorneys to enforce any of the terms of this Assignment or any of the Loan Documents or because of the breach by Assignor of any of the terms thereof or for the recovery of any Indebtedness, Assignor shall pay to Assignee attorneys’ fees and all costs and expenses, whether or not an action is actually commenced and the right to such attorneys’ fees and all costs and expenses shall be deemed to have accrued on the date such attorneys are retained, shall include fees and costs in connection with litigation, arbitration, mediation, bankruptcy and/or administrative proceedings, and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment and shall include all appeals. Attorneys’ fees and expenses shall for purposes of this Assignment include all paralegal, electronic research, legal specialists and all other costs in connection with that performance of Assignee’s attorneys. If Assignee is made a party defendant of any litigation concerning this Assignment or the Premises or any part thereof or therein, or the maintenance, operation or the occupancy or use thereof by Assignor, then Assignor shall indemnify, defend and hold Assignee harmless from and against all liability by reason of said litigation, including attorneys’ fees and all costs and expenses incurred by Assignee in any such litigation or other proceedings, whether or not any such litigation or other proceedings is prosecuted to judgment or other determination. |

Sec. 6-212, “legal fees,” “legal expenses,” “attorneys’ fees,” “reasonable attorney fees” and similar expressions used in this Assignment and the other Loan Documents shall mean the amount actually charged by the attorneys (based on time actually spent and customary hourly rates) retained by Lender in exercising its rights under this Assignment and the other Loan Documents. |

1. DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of this document, the following term has the following meaning.
A. Loan. "Loan" refers to this transaction generally, including obligations and duties arising from the terms of all documents prepared or submitted for this transaction.
2. CONVEYANCE. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, and to secure the Secured Debts and Mortgagor's performance under this Security Instrument, Mortgagor does hereby grant, bargain, convey and mortgage to Lender, the following described property:
See attached legal description
The property is located in South Carolina, County of York.
Together with all rights, easements, appurtenances, royalties, mineral rights, oil and gas rights, all water and riparian rights, wells, ditches and water stock, crops, timber including timber to be cut now or at any time in the future, all diversion payments or third-party payments made to crop producers and all existing and future improvements, structures, fixtures, and replacements that may now, or at any time in the future, be part of the real estate described (all referred to as Property). This Security Instrument will remain in effect until the Secured Debts and all underlying agreements have been terminated in writing by Lender.
3. MAXIMUM OBLIGATION LIMIT. The total principal amount secured by this Security Instrument at any one time and from time to time will not exceed $3,158,400.00. Any limitation of amount does not include interest and other fees and charges validly made pursuant to this Security Instrument. Also, this limitation does not apply to advances made under the terms of this Security Instrument to protect Lender's security and to perform any of the covenants contained in this Security Instrument. Interest under the Note will be deferred, accrued or capitalized; however, Lender will not be required to defer, accrue or capitalize any interest except as provided in the Note.
4. SECURED DEBTS AND FUTURE ADVANCES. The term "Secured Debts" includes and this Security Instrument will secure each of the following:
A. Specific Debts. The following debts and all extensions, renewals, refinancings, modifications and replacements. A promissory note or other agreement, dated April 14, 2022, from Mortgagor to Lender, with a loan amount of the lesser of (a) the aggregate principal amount of $3,158,400.00, (b) 75% of the appraised value of the Collateral or (c) 75% of Lender approved costs to finance the Properties.
B. Future Advances. All future advances from Lender to Mortgagor under the Specific Debts executed by Mortgagor in favor of Lender after this Security Instrument. If more than one person signs this Security Instrument, each agrees that this Security Instrument will secure all future advances that are given to Mortgagor either individually or with others who may not sign this Security Instrument. All future advances are secured by this Security Instrument even though all or part may not yet be advanced. All future advances are secured as if made on the date of this Security Instrument. Nothing in this Security Instrument shall constitute a commitment to make additional or future advances in any amount. Any such commitment must be agreed to in a separate writing.
C. All Debts. All present and future debts from Mortgagor to Lender, even if this Security Instrument is not specifically referenced, or if the future debt is unrelated to or of a different type than this debt. If more than one person signs this Security Instrument, each agrees that it will secure debts incurred either individually or with others who may not sign this Security Instrument. Nothing in this Security Instrument constitutes a commitment to make additional or future loans or advances. Any such commitment must be in writing. This Security Instrument will not secure any debt for which a non-possessory, non-purchase money security interest is created in "household goods" in connection with a "consumer loan," as those terms are defined by federal law governing unfair and deceptive credit practices. This Security Instrument will not secure any debt for which a security interest is created in "margin stock" and Lender does not obtain a "statement of purpose," as defined and required by federal law governing securities. This Security Instrument will not secure any other debt if Lender, with respect to that other debt, fails to fulfill any necessary requirements or fails to conform to any limitations of the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z) or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act {Regulation X) that are required for loans secured by the Property.
D. Sums Advanced. All sums advanced and expenses incurred by Lender under the terms of this Security Instrument.

5. LIMITATIONS ON CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION. The cross-collateralization clause on any existing or future loan, but not including this Loan, is void and ineffective as to this Loan, including any extension or refinancing.
The Loan is not secured by a previously executed security instrument if a non-possessory, non-purchase money security interest is created in "household goods" in connection with a "consumer loan," as those terms are defined by federal law governing unfair and deceptive credit practices. The Loan is not secured by a previously executed security instrument if Lender fails to fulfill any necessary requirements or fails to conform to any limitations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, (Regulation X), that are required for loans secured by the Property or if, as a result, the other debt would become subject to Section 670 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007.
The Loan is not secured by a previously executed security instrument if Lender fails to fulfill any necessary requirements or fails to conform to any limitations of the Truth in Lending Act, (Regulation Z), that are required for loans secured by the Property.
6. PAYMENTS. Mortgagor agrees that all payments under the Secured Debts will be paid when due and in accordance with the terms of the Secured Debts and this Security Instrument.
7. WARRANTY OF TITLE. Mortgagor warrants that Mortgagor is or will be lawfully seized of the estate conveyed by this Security Instrument and has the right to grant, bargain, convey, sell and mortgage the Property. Mortgagor also warrants that the Property is unencumbered, except for encumbrances of record.

C. Not to allow any modification or extension of, nor to request any future advances under any note or Agreement secured by the lien document without Lender's prior written consent.
9. CLAIMS AGAINST TITLE. Mortgagor will pay all taxes, assessments, liens, encumbrances, lease payments, ground rents, utilities, and other charges relating to the Property when due. Lender may require Mortgagor to provide to Lender copies of all notices that such amounts are due and the receipts evidencing Mortgagor's payment. Mortgagor will defend title to the Property against any claims that would impair the lien of this Security Instrument. Mortgagor agrees to assign to Lender, as requested by Lender, any rights, claims or defenses Mortgagor may have against parties who supply labor or materials to maintain or improve the Property.
10. DUE ON SALE OR ENCUMBRANCE. Lender may, at its option, declare the entire balance of the Secured Debt to be immediately due and payable upon the creation of, or contract for the creation of, any lien, encumbrance, transfer or sale of all or any part of the Property. This right is subject to the restrictions imposed by federal law, as applicable.
11. TRANSFER OF AN INTEREST IN THE MORTGAGOR. If Mortgagor is an entity other than a natural person (such as a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other organization), Lender may demand immediate payment if:
A. beneficial interest in Mortgagor is sold or transferred.
B. There is a change in either the identity or number of members of a partnership or similar entity.
C. There is a change in ownership of more than 25 percent of the voting stock of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity.
However, Lender may not demand payment in the above situations if it is prohibited by law as of the date of this Security Instrument.
13. WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS. Mortgagor makes to Lender the following warranties and representations which will continue as long as this Security Instrument is in effect:
A. Power. Mortgagor is duly organized, and validly existing and in good standing in all jurisdictions in which Mortgagor operates.

B. Authority. The execution, delivery and performance of this Security Instrument and the obligation evidenced by this Security Instrument are within Mortgagor's powers, have been duly authorized, have received all necessary governmental approval, will not violate any provision of law, or order of court or governmental agency, and will not violate any agreement to which Mortgagor is a party or to which Mortgagor is or any of Mortgagor's property is subject.
3
C. Name and Place of Business. Other than previously disclosed in writing to Lender, Mortgagor has not changed Mortgagor's name or principal place of business within the last 10 years and has not used any other trade or fictitious name. Without Lender's prior written consent, Mortgagor does not and will not use any other name and will preserve Mortgagor's existing name, trade names and franchises.
14. PROPERTY CONDITION, ALTERATIONS, INSPECTION, VALUATION AND APPRAISAL. Mortgagor will keep the Property in good condition and make all repairs that are reasonably necessary. Mortgagor will not commit or allow any waste, impairment, or deterioration of the Property. Mortgagor will keep the Property free of noxious weeds and grasses. Mortgagor agrees that the nature of the occupancy and use will not substantially change without Lender's prior written consent. Mortgagor will not permit any change in any license, restrictive covenant or easement without Lender's prior written consent. Mortgagor will notify Lender of all demands, proceedings, claims, and actions against Mortgagor, and of any loss or damage to the Property.
No portion of the Property will be removed, demolished or materially altered without Lender's prior written consent except that Mortgagor has the right to remove items of personal property comprising a part of the Property that become worn or obsolete, provided that such personal property is replaced with other personal property at least equal in value to the replaced personal property, free from any title retention device, security agreement or other encumbrance. Such replacement of personal property will be deemed subject to the security interest created by this Security Instrument. Mortgagor will not partition or subdivide the Property without Lender's prior written consent.
Lender or Lender's agents may, at Lender's option, enter the Property at any reasonable time and frequency for the purpose of inspecting, valuating, or appraising the Property. Lender will give Mortgagor notice at the time of or before an on-site inspection, valuation, or appraisal for on-going due diligence or otherwise specifying a reasonable purpose. Any inspection, valuation or appraisal of the Property will be entirely for Lender's benefit and Mortgagor will in no way rely on Lender's inspection, valuation or appraisal for its own purpose, except as otherwise provided by law.
15. AUTHORITY TO PERFORM. If Mortgagor fails to perform any duty or any of the covenants contained in this Security Instrument, Lender may, without notice, perform or cause them to be performed. Mortgagor appoints Lender as attorney in fact to sign Mortgagor's name or pay any amount necessary for performance. Lender's right to perform for Mortgagor will not create an obligation to perform, and Lender's failure to perform will not preclude Lender from exercising any of Lender's other rights under the law or this Security Instrument. If any construction on the Property is discontinued or not carried on in a reasonable manner, Lender may take all steps necessary to protect Lender's security interest in the Property, including completion of the construction.
16. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS. Mortgagor assigns, grants, bargains, conveys and mortgages to Lender as additional security all the right, title and interest in the following (Property).
A. Existing or future leases, subleases, licenses, guaranties and any other written or verbal agreements for the use and occupancy of the Property, including but not limited to any extensions, renewals, modifications or replacements (Leases).
B. Rents, issues and profits, including but not limited to security deposits, minimum rents, percentage rents, additional rents, common area maintenance charges, parking charges, real estate taxes, other applicable taxes, insurance premium contributions, liquidated damages following default, cancellation premiums, "loss of rents" insurance, guest receipts, revenues, royalties, proceeds, bonuses, accounts, contract rights, general intangibles, and all rights and claims which Mortgagor may have that in any way pertain to or are on account of the use or occupancy of the whole or any part of the Property (Rents).
In the event any item listed as Leases or Rents is determined to be personal property, this Assignment will also be regarded as a security agreement. Mortgagor will promptly provide Lender with copies of the Leases and will certify these Leases are true and correct copies. The existing Leases will be provided on execution of the Assignment, and all future Leases and any other information with respect to these Leases will be provided immediately after they are executed. Mortgagor may collect, receive, enjoy and use the Rents so long as Mortgagor is not in default. Mortgagor will not collect in advance any Rents due in future lease periods, unless Mortgagor first obtains Lender's written consent. Upon default, Mortgagor will receive any Rents in trust for Lender and Mortgagor will not commingle the Rents with any other funds. When Lender so directs, Mortgagor will endorse and deliver any payments of Rents from the Property to Lender. Amounts collected will be applied at Lender's discretion to the Secured Debts, the costs of managing, protecting, valuating, appraising and preserving the Property, and other necessary expenses. Mortgagor agrees that this Security Instrument is immediately effective between Mortgagor and Lender and effective as to third parties on the recording of this Assignment. As long as this Assignment is in effect, Mortgagor warrants and represents that no default exists under the Leases, and the parties subject to the Leases have not violated any applicable law on leases, licenses and landlords and tenants. Mortgagor, at its sole cost and expense, will keep, observe and perform, and require all other parties to the Leases to comply with the Leases and any applicable law. If Mortgagor or any party to the Lease defaults or fails to observe any applicable law, Mortgagor will promptly notify Lender. If Mortgagor neglects or refuses to enforce compliance with the terms of the Leases, then Lender may, at Lender's option, enforce compliance. Mortgagor will not sublet, modify, extend, cancel, or otherwise alter the Leases, or accept the surrender of the Property covered by the Leases (unless the Leases so require) without Lender's consent. Mortgagor will not assign, compromise, subordinate or encumber the Leases and Rents without Lender's prior written consent. Lender does not assume or become liable for the Property's maintenance, depreciation, or other losses or damages when Lender acts to manage, protect or preserve the Property, except for losses and damages due to Lender's gross negligence or intentional torts. Otherwise, Mortgagor will indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless for all liability, loss or damage that Lender may incur when Lender opts to exercise any of its remedies against any party obligated under the Leases.

K. Property Transfer. Mortgagor transfers all or a substantial part of Mortgagor's money or property. This condition of default, as it relates to the transfer of the Property, is subject to the restrictions contained in the DUE ON SALE section.
L. Property Value. Lender determines in good faith that the value of the Property has declined or is impaired.
M. Material Change. Without first notifying Lender, there is a material change in Mortgagor's business, including ownership, management, and financial conditions.

18. REMEDIES. On or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may use any and all remedies Lender has under state or federal law or in any document relating to the Secured Debts. Any amounts advanced on Mortgagor's behalf will be immediately due and may be added to the balance owing under the Secured Debts. Lender may make a claim for any and all insurance benefits or refunds that may be available on Mortgagor's default. Subject to any right to cure, required time schedules or any other notice rights Mortgagor may have under federal and state law, Lender may make all or any part of the amount owing by the terms of the Secured Debts immediately due and foreclose this Security Instrument in a manner provided by law upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or anytime thereafter.
All remedies are distinct, cumulative and not exclusive, and Lender is entitled to all remedies provided at law or equity, whether or not expressly set forth. The acceptance by Lender of any sum in payment or partial payment on the Secured Debts after the balance is due or is accelerated or after foreclosure proceedings are filed will not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to require full and complete cure of any existing default. By not exercising any remedy, Lender does not waive Lender's right to later consider the event a default if it continues or happens again.
At any time after default (whether before or after judgment), Lender may take possession of any collateral for the loan or obtain the appointment of a receiver pursuant to SC Code §15-65-10, et seq. or otherwise as permitted by law. Any receiver shall be vested with all of the powers, rights and duties of receivers generally. Lender or any receiver may collect any rents and profits from the collateral and may rent, sell, operate or manage the collateral without notice to Mortgagor or any other party (Mortgagor waives any right to notice) and without consideration of the value of the collateral or Mortgagor's solvency. All amounts collected by Lender or the receiver shall, after the expenses of taking possession, renting, selling, operating and managing (and of any receivership), be applied to payment of the loan. If Lender should take possession or if a receiver should be appointed or if there should be a sale of the collateral, Mortgagor, or any person in possession of the collateral, shall become a tenant at will of Lender, the receiver or the purchaser and may be removed by a writ of ejectment, summary ejectment or other lawful remedy.
19. COLLECTION EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. On or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor agrees to pay all expenses of collection, enforcement, valuation, appraisal or· protection of Lender's rights and remedies under this Security Instrument or any other document relating to the Secured Debts. Mortgagor agrees to pay expenses for Lender to inspect, valuate, appraise and preserve the Property and for any recordation costs of releasing the Property from this Security Instrument. Expenses include, but are not limited to, attorneys' fees, court costs and other legal expenses. These expenses are due and payable immediately. If not paid immediately, these expenses will bear interest from the date of payment until paid in full at the highest interest rate in effect as provided for in the terms of the Secured Debts. In addition, to the extent permitted by the United States Bankruptcy Code, Mortgagor agrees to pay the reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Lender to protect Lender's rights and interests in connection with any bankruptcy proceedings initiated by or against Mortgagor.
20. ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. As used in this section, (1) Environmental Law means, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.), all other federal, state and local laws, regulations, ordinances, court orders, attorney general opinions or interpretive letters concerning the public health, safety, welfare, environment or a hazardous substance; and (2) Hazardous Substance means any toxic, radioactive or hazardous material, waste, pollutant or contaminant which has characteristics which render the substance dangerous or potentially dangerous to the public health, safety, welfare or environment. The term includes, without limitation, any substances defined as "hazardous material," "toxic substance," "hazardous waste," "hazardous substance," or "regulated substance" under any Environmental Law.
Mortgagor represents, warrants and agrees that:
A. Except as previously disclosed and acknowledged in writing to Lender, no Hazardous Substance has been, is, or will be located, transported, manufactured, treated, refined, or handled by any person on, under or about the Property, except in the ordinary course of business and in strict compliance with all applicable Environmental Law.
B. Except as previously disclosed and acknowledged in writing to Lender, Mortgagor has not and will not cause, contribute to, or permit the release of any Hazardous Substance on the Property.
C. Mortgagor will immediately notify Lender if (1) a release or threatened release of Hazardous Substance occurs on, under or about the Property or migrates or threatens to migrate from nearby property; or {2) there is a violation of any Environmental Law concerning the Property. In such an event, Mortgagor will take all necessary remedial action in accordance with Environmental Law.
6
D. Except as previously disclosed and acknowledged in writing to Lender, Mortgagor has no knowledge of or reason to believe there is any pending or threatened investigation, claim, or proceeding of any kind relating to (1) any Hazardous Substance located on, under or about the Property; or (2) any violation by Mortgagor or any tenant of any Environmental Law. Mortgagor will immediately notify Lender in writing as soon as Mortgagor has reason to believe there is any such pending or threatened investigation, claim, or proceeding. In such an event, Lender has the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such proceeding including the right to receive copies of any documents relating to such proceedings.
E. Except as previously disclosed and acknowledged in writing to Lender, Mortgagor and every tenant have been, are and will remain in full compliance with any applicable Environmental Law.
F. Except as previously disclosed and acknowledged in writing to Lender, there are no underground storage tanks, private dumps or open wells located on or under the Property and no such tank, dump or well will be added unless Lender first consents in writing.
G. Mortgagor will regularly inspect the Property, monitor the activities and operations on the Property, and confirm that all permits, licenses or approvals required by any applicable Environmental Law are obtained and complied with.
H. Mortgagor will permit, or cause any tenant to permit, Lender or Lender's agent to enter and inspect the Property and review all records at any reasonable time to determine (1) the existence, location and nature of any Hazardous Substance on, under or about the Property; (2) the existence, location, nature, and magnitude of any Hazardous Substance that has been released on, under or about the Property; or (3) whether or not Mortgagor and any tenant are in compliance with applicable Environmental Law.
I. Upon Lender's request and at any time, Mortgagor agrees, at Mortgagor's expense, to engage a qualified environmental engineer to prepare an environmental audit of the Property and to submit the results of such audit to Lender. The choice of the environmental engineer who will perform such audit is subject to Lender's approval.
J. Lender has the right, but not the obligation, to perform any of Mortgagor's obligations under this section at Mortgagor's expense.
K. As a consequence of any breach of any representation, warranty or promise made in this section, (1) Mortgagor will indemnify and hold Lender and Lender's successors or assigns harmless from and against all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, damages, cleanup, response and remediation costs, penalties and expenses, including without limitation all costs of litigation and attorneys' fees, which Lender and Lender's successors or assigns may sustain; and (2) at Lender's discretion, Lender may release this Security Instrument and in return Mortgagor will provide Lender with collateral of at least equal value to the Property without prejudice to any of Lender's rights under this Security Instrument.
L. Notwithstanding any of the language contained in this Security Instrument to the contrary, the terms of this section will survive any foreclosure or satisfaction of this Security Instrument regardless of any passage of title to Lender or any disposition by Lender of any or all of the Property. Any claims and defenses to the contrary are hereby waived.
21. CONDEMNATION. Mortgagor will give Lender prompt notice of any pending or threatened action by private or public entities to purchase or take any or all of the Property through condemnation, eminent domain, or any other means. Mortgagor authorizes Lender to intervene in Mortgagor's name in any of the above-described actions or claims. Mortgagor assigns to Lender the proceeds of any award or claim for damages connected with a condemnation or other taking of all or any part of the Property. Such proceeds will be considered payments and will be applied as provided in this Security Instrument. This assignment of proceeds is subject to the terms of any prior mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or other lien document.
22. INSURANCE. Mortgagor agrees to keep the Property insured against the risks reasonably associated with the Property. Mortgagor will maintain this insurance in the amounts Lender requires. This insurance will last until the Property is released from this Security Instrument. What Lender requires pursuant to the preceding two sentences can change during the term of the Secured Debts. Mortgagor may choose the insurance company, subject to Lender's approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
7
All insurance policies and renewals shall include a standard "mortgage clause" (or "lender loss payable clause") endorsement that names Lender as "mortgagee" and "loss payee". If required by Lender, all insurance policies and renewals will also include an "additional insured" endorsement that names Lender as an "additional insured". If required by Lender, Mortgagor agrees to maintain comprehensive general liability insurance and rental loss or business interruption insurance in amounts and under policies acceptable to Lender. The comprehensive general liability insurance must name Lender as an additional insured. The rental loss or business interruption insurance must be in an amount equal to at least coverage of one year's debt service, and required escrow account deposits (if agreed to separately in writing).
Mortgagor will give Lender and the insurance company immediate notice of any loss. All insurance proceeds will be applied to restoration or repair of the Property or to the Secured Debts, at Lender's option. If Lender acquires the Property in damaged condition, Mortgagor's rights to any insurance policies and proceeds will pass to Lender to the extent of the Secured Debts.
Mortgagor will immediately notify Lender of cancellation or termination of insurance. If Mortgagor fails to keep the Property insured, Lender may obtain insurance to protect Lender's interest in the Property and Mortgagor will pay for the insurance on Lender's demand. Lender may demand that Mortgagor pay for the insurance all at once, or Lender may add the insurance premiums to the balance of the Secured Debts and charge interest on it at the rate that applies to the Secured Debts. This insurance may include lesser or greater coverages than originally required of Mortgagor, may be written by a company other than one Mortgagor would choose, and may be written at a higher rate than Mortgagor could obtain if Mortgagor purchased the insurance. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that Lender or one of Lender's affiliates may receive commissions on the purchase of this insurance.
23. ESCROW FOR TAXES AND INSURANCE. Mortgagor will not be required to pay to Lender funds for taxes and insurance in escrow.
24. WAIVERS. Except to the extent prohibited by law, Mortgagor waives all homestead exemption rights relating to the Property.
25. USE OF PROPERTY. Mortgagor shall not use or occupy the Property in any manner that would constitute a violation of any state and/or federal laws involving controlled substances, even in a jurisdiction that allows such use by state or local law or ordinance. In the event that Mortgagor becomes aware of such a violation, Mortgagor shall take all actions allowed by law to terminate the violating activity.
In addition to all other indemnifications, obligations, rights and remedies contained herein, if the Lender and/or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys (each an "lndemnitee") is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened or brought against such lndemnitee concerning this Security Instrument or the related property or any part thereof or therein or concerning the construction, maintenance, operation or the occupancy or use of such property, then the Mortgagor shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law} indemnify, defend and hold each lndemnitee harmless from and against all liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by such lndemnitee in connection with any such litigation or claim, whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the within indemnification shall survive payment of the Secured Debt, and/or any termination, release or discharge executed by the Lender in favor of the Mortgagor.
Violation of this provision is a material breach of this Security Instrument and thereby constitutes a default under the terms and provisions of this Security Instrument.
26. OTHER TERMS. The following are applicable to this Security Instrument:
A. No Action by Lender. Nothing contained in this Security Instrument shall require Lender to take any action.
B. Additional Terms. The Maturity Date of this Mortgage is October 1, 2028.
27. APPLICABLE LAW. This Security Instrument is governed by the laws of South Carolina, the United States of America, and to the extent required, by the laws of the jurisdiction where the Property is located, except to the extent such state laws are preempted by federal law.
28. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY AND SUCCESSORS. Each Mortgagor's obligations under this Security Instrument are independent of the obligations of any other Mortgagor. Lender may sue each Mortgagor severally or together with any other Mortgagor. Lender may release any part of the Property and Mortgagor will still be obligated under this Security Instrument for the remaining Property. Mortgagor agrees that Lender and any party to this Security Instrument may extend, modify or make any change in the terms of this Security Instrument or any evidence of debt without Mortgagor's consent. Such a change will not release Mortgagor from the terms of this Security Instrument.

30. INTERPRETATION. Whenever used, the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular. The section headings are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define the terms of this Security Instrument.
31. NOTICE, ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS AND RECORDING FEES.
