The Security Deed was given to secure Grantor's guarantee of a Promissory Note dated September 19, 2006, in the original principal amount of SEVEN MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/HUNDREDTHS DOLLARS ($7,200,000.00) (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated September 19, 2006 (the “Guaranty”), with interest thereon as provided in the Promissory Note and the Guaranty until paid.
On account of defaults in the terms of the Promissory Note, the Guaranty, the Security Deed and other loan documents, including Grantor's failure to pay the indebtedness in full at its accelerated maturity, Grantee, the present holder of the Security Deed, the Promissory Note and the Guaranty, has declared the entire unpaid principal balance of all obligations secured by the Security Deed, including interest to date of sale, to be due and payable immediately. The debt remaining in default and unpaid, this sale will be for the purpose of satisfying the principal and interest due, amounts, if any, expended by Grantee to protect its interest in the Property, and all expenses of this sale, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees.
The Property will be sold subject to outstanding ad valorem taxes and/or assessments, and superior easements, restrictions and rights-of-way and other superior matters of record, if any. The undersigned will execute a deed to the purchaser at the sale as provided in the Security Deed. To the best knowledge and belief of Grantee, the equitable title to the Property is vested in Grantor, and the party in possession of the Property is HLA, Inc., pursuant to a Commercial Lease Agreement referenced in Memorandum of Lease recorded in Deed Book X21, Page 118, Lumpkin County, Georgia Records.
