Unless otherwise set forth in an announcement by the undersigned made at the commencement of the public sale, the Real Property and Foreclosure Personal Property shall be sold collectively in a single sale and lot, in which case a single bid will be taken therefor. The Real Property will be sold on an "AS IS, WHERE IS" basis without recourse against Lender and without representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect thereto. The Real Property will be sold subject to (1) all unpaid taxes and assessments and sanitary charges which are liens against the Real Property and which are prior in right to the Security Deed, including taxes that are liens, but not yet due or payable, any additional taxes, interest and/or penalties which may be assessed for prior tax years by virtue of adjustment, re-appraisal, re-assessment, appeal or other amendment to the tax records of the city or county of the Real Property; (2) all matters affecting the Real Property as shown on that certain survey prepared by T. Andrew Sherard, Georgia Registered Land Surveyor No. 2832, of Site Design, Inc., field work completed on May 31, 2016; (3) all valid zoning ordinances; and (4) any and all other easements, limitations, restrictions, reservations, covenants and encumbrances of record to which the Security Deed is junior and subordinate in terms of priority under the laws of the State of Georgia. The Foreclosure Personal Property will be sold on an "AS IS, WHERE IS" basis without recourse against Lender and without representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect thereto. The Foreclosure Personal Property will be sold subject to all unpaid taxes and assessments, if any, which are liens against the Foreclosure Personal Property and which are prior in right to the Security Deed. The Security Deed was originally given to secure (1) the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by that certain Promissory Note dated November 19, 2004, made by Borrower to the order of Original Lender (the "Note") in the original principal amount of $7,100,000.00 (the "Indebtedness") and (2) the performance of all of Borrower's covenants and obligations under any and all other documents evidencing or securing the Indebtedness (said documents, together with the Note and the Security Deed, are herein collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents"). The Indebtedness has been and is hereby declared due and immediately payable because of default by Borrower in payment of the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. The proceeds of the sale of the Secured Property shall be applied in accordance with the Security Deed to (i) the payment of the costs and expenses of this sale, including the expenses of protecting the Secured Property and attorneys' fees (notice of intent to collect attorneys' fees having been given pursuant to O.C.G.A. 13-1-11), (ii) payment of the Indebtedness and any other amounts secured by the Security Deed, and (iii) the surplus, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
