Section 5.5. Inspection of the Property. Subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, Lender has the right to enter and inspect the Property on reasonable prior notice, except during the existence of an Event of Default, when no prior notice is necessary. As long as there has not been an Event of Default, and as long as no one inspection requires additional inspections, such right shall be exercised no more often than once per year. Lender has the right to engage an independent expert to review and report on Borrower’s compliance with Borrower’s obligations under this Mortgage to maintain the Property, comply with Law and refrain from waste, impairment or deterioration of the Property and the alteration, demolition or removal of any of the Property except as may be permitted by the provisions of this Mortgage.

Section 5.6. Leases and Rents.
(a) Borrower assigns the Leases and the Rents to Lender absolutely and unconditionally and not merely as additional collateral or security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, but subject to a license back to Borrower of the right to collect the Rents unless and until an Event of Default occurs at which time the license will terminate

Section 5.7. Parking. Borrower will provide, maintain, police and light parking areas within the Property, including any sidewalks, aisles, streets, driveways, sidewalk cuts and rights-of-way to and from the adjacent public streets, in a manner consistent with the Permitted Use and that certain Easements and Covenants Agreement dated December 4,1991, recorded December 5, 1991, a Document No. 2220574, as amended by Amended and Restated Agreement of Easements and Covenants dated December 31, 2002, recorded January 23, 2003, as Document No. 3670146 and sufficient to accommodate the greatest of: (i) the number of parking spaces required by Law; (ii) the number of parking spaces required by the Leases and the Property Documents; or (iii) six hundred fifty-five (655) parking spaces, as such number may be reduced to cause the parking area to comply with Laws. The parking areas will be reserved and used for ingress, egress and parking for Borrower and the tenants under the Leases and their respective employees, customers and invitees and in accordance with the Leases and the Property Documents.
Section 5.8. Separate Tax Lot. The Land and Improvements are and will remain assessed for real estate tax purposes as one or more wholly independent tax lots, separate from any property that is not part of the Property.

Section 6.1. Impositions.
(a) Borrower will pay each Imposition at least 3 Business Days before the date (the “Imposition Penalty Date”) that is the earlier of (i) the date on which the Imposition becomes delinquent and (ii) the date on which any penalty, interest or charge for non-payment of the Imposition accrues.
(b) Promptly following its payment of Taxes, Assessments or insurance premiums, Borrower will deliver to Lender a receipted xxxx or other evidence of payment.
(c) Borrower, at its own expense, may contest any Taxes or Assessments, provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) not less than 30 days prior to the Imposition Penalty Date, Borrower delivers to Lender notice of the proposed contest;
(ii) the contest is by a Proceeding promptly initiated and conducted diligently and in good faith;
(iii) there is no monetary Event of Default;
(iv) the Proceeding is permitted under and is conducted in accordance with the Leases and the Property Documents;
(v) the Proceeding precludes imposition of criminal or civil penalties and sale or forfeiture of the Property and Lender will not be subject to any civil suit; and
(vi) Borrower pays all of the contested Taxes or Assessments under protest in any event in accordance with the Laws of Minnesota.
(d) Installment Payments. If any Assessment is payable in installments in accordance with its terms, Borrower may pay such Assessment in installments. If the Assessment is only payable in installments following Borrower or a representative of Borrower successfully petitioning to pay the Assessments in installments, then notwithstanding such right, Borrower will nevertheless pay the Assessment in its entirety on the day the first installment becomes due and payable or a lien, unless Lender, in its sole discretion, approves payment of the Assessment in installments.
11
Section 6.2. Accumulations.
(a) Borrower made an initial deposit with Lender or a mortgage servicer or financial institution designated or approved by Lender from time to time to receive, hold and disburse the Accumulations in accordance with this Section (the “Accumulations Depositary”). On the first day of each calendar month during the Term Borrower will deposit with the Accumulations Depositary an amount equal to one-eleventh (1/11) of the annual Taxes and Assessments as determined by Lender or its designee based upon the last ascertainable tax xxxx, unless otherwise provided in an agreement among Borrower, Lender and Accumulations Depository. At least 20 days before each Imposition Penalty Date, Borrower will deliver to the Accumulations Depositary any bills and other documents that are necessary to pay the Taxes and Assessments.
(b) The Accumulations will be applied to the payment of Taxes and Assessments. Any excess Accumulations after payment of Taxes and Assessments will be returned to Borrower or credited against future payments of the Accumulations, at Lender’s election or as required by Law. If the Accumulations are not sufficient to pay Taxes and Assessments, Borrower will pay the deficiency to the Accumulations Depositary within 5 days of demand. At any time after an Event of Default occurs, Lender may apply the Accumulations as a credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion.
(c) The Accumulations Depositary will hold the Accumulations as security for the Obligations until applied in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage. If Lender is not the Accumulations Depositary, the Accumulations Depositary will deliver the Accumulations to Lender upon Lender’s demand at any time after an Event of Default.
(d) If the Property is sold or conveyed other than by foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, all right, title and interest of Borrower to the Accumulations will automatically, and without necessity of further assignment, be held for the account of the new owner, subject to the provisions of this Section and Borrower will have no further interest in the Accumulations.
(e) The Accumulations Depositary has deposited the initial deposit and will deposit the monthly deposits into a separate interest bearing account with Lender denominated as secured party, all in accordance with an agreement among Borrower, Lender and the Accumulations Depositary dated the date of this Mortgage.
(f) Lender has the right to pay, or to direct the Accumulations Depositary to pay, any Taxes or Assessments unless Borrower is contesting the Taxes or Assessments in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage, in which event any payment of the contested Taxes or Assessments will be made under protest in the manner prescribed by Law or, at Lender’s election, will be withheld.
(g) If Lender assigns this Mortgage, Lender will pay, or cause the Accumulations Depositary to pay, the unapplied balance of the Accumulations to or at the direction of the assignee. Simultaneously with the payment, Lender and the Accumulations Depositary will be released from all liability with respect to the Accumulations and Borrower will look solely to the
12
assignee with respect to the Accumulations. When the Obligations have been fully satisfied, any unapplied balance of the Accumulations will be returned to Borrower.
Section 6.3. Changes in Tax Laws. If a Law requires the deduction of the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt, any Loan Document or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax with interest and penalties, if any. If Lender determines that Borrower’s payment of the tax may be unlawful, unenforceable, usurious or taxable to Lender, the Debt will become immediately due and payable, without any Prepayment Premium or Evasion Premium, on 60 days’ prior notice unless the tax must be paid within the 60-day period, in which case, the Debt will be due and payable, without any Prepayment Premium or Evasion Premium within the lesser period.
ARTICLE VII
INSURANCE, CASUALTY, CONDEMNATION
AND RESTORATION
Section 7.1. Insurance Coverages.
(a) Lender hereby approves coverages currently maintained by Borrower. Borrower will continue to maintain such insurance coverages and endorsements in form and substance and in amounts as Lender may require in its sole discretion, from time to time and in the future Lender will not require any changes in coverages that are greater than industry standards for Class A downtown office properties. Until Lender notifies Borrower of changes in Lender’s requirements, Borrower will maintain not less than the insurance coverages and endorsements Lender required for closing of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender will not require coverages that are greater than Lender’s standard requirements for similarly situated Class A downtown office properties in its mortgage portfolio.
(b) The insurance, including renewals, required under this Section will be issued on valid and enforceable policies and endorsements satisfactory to Lender (the “Policies”). Each Policy will contain a standard waiver of subrogation and a replacement cost endorsement and will provide that Lender will receive not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of any cancellation, termination or non-renewal of a Policy or any material change other than an increase in coverage and that Lender will be named under a standard mortgage endorsement as loss payee.
(c) The insurance companies issuing the Policies (the “Insurers”) must be authorized to do business in the State or Commonwealth where the Property is located, must have been in business for at least 5 years, must carry an A.M. Best Company, Inc. policy holder rating of A or better and an A.M. Best Company, Inc. financial category rating of Class X or better and must be otherwise satisfactory to Lender. Lender may select an alternative credit rating agency and may
13
impose different credit rating standards for the Insurers. Notwithstanding Lender’s right to approve the Insurers and to establish credit rating standards for the Insurers, Lender will not be responsible for the solvency of any Insurer.
(d) Notwithstanding Lender’s rights under this Article, Lender will not be liable for any loss, damage or injury resulting from the inadequacy or lack of any insurance coverage.
(e) Borrower will comply with the provisions of the Policies and with the requirements, notices and demands imposed by the Insurers and applicable to Borrower or the Property.
(f) Borrower will pay the Insurance Premiums for each Policy no later than the expiration date of the Policy being replaced or renewed and will deliver to Lender an original or, if a blanket policy, a certified copy of each Policy marked “Paid” no later than 30 days following the inception date of the new Policy.
(g) Borrower will not carry separate insurance concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss with any other insurance carried by Borrower.
(h) Borrower will not carry any of the insurance required under this Section on a blanket or umbrella policy without in each instance Lender’s prior approval which may be withheld in Lender’s reasonable discretion. If Lender approves, Borrower will deliver to Lender a certified copy of the blanket policy which will allocate to the Property the amount of coverage required under this Section and otherwise will provide the same coverage and protection as would a separate policy insuring only the Property.
(i) Borrower will give the Insurers prompt notice of any change in ownership or occupancy of the Property. This subsection does not abrogate the prohibitions on transfers set forth in this Mortgage.
Section 7.2. Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) Borrower will give Lender notice of any Casualty immediately after it occurs and will give Lender notice of any Condemnation Proceeding immediately after Borrower receives notice of commencement or notice that such a Condemnation Proceeding will be commencing. Borrower immediately will deliver to Lender copies of all documents Borrower delivers or receives relating to the Casualty or the Condemnation Proceeding, as the case may be.
(b) Borrower authorizes Lender, at Lender’s option, to act on Borrower’s behalf to collect, adjust and compromise any claims for loss, damage or destruction under the Policies on such terms as Lender determines in Lender’s sole discretion. Borrower authorizes Lender to act, at Lender’s option, on Borrower’s behalf in connection with any Condemnation Proceeding. Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender all documents requested by Lender and all
14
documents as may be required by Law to confirm such authorizations. Nothing in this Section will be construed to limit or prevent Lender from joining with Borrower either as a co-defendant or as a co-plaintiff in any Condemnation Proceeding.
(c) If Lender elects not to act on Borrower’s behalf as provided in this Section, then Borrower promptly will file and prosecute all claims (including Lender’s claims) relating to the Casualty and will prosecute or defend (including defense of Lender’s interest) any Condemnation Proceeding. Borrower will have the authority to settle or compromise the claims or Condemnation Proceeding, as the case may be, provided that Lender has approved in Lender’s sole discretion any compromise or settlement that exceeds $1,000,000. Any check for Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Awards, as the case may be (the “Proceeds”) will be made payable to Lender and Borrower. Borrower will endorse the check to Lender immediately upon Lender presenting the check to Borrower for endorsement or if Borrower receives the check first, will endorse the check immediately upon receipt and forward it to Lender. If any Proceeds are paid to Borrower, Borrower immediately will deposit the Proceeds with Lender, to be applied or disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage. Lender will be responsible for only the Proceeds actually received by Lender.
Section 7.3. Application of Proceeds. After deducting the third party costs incurred by Lender in collecting the Proceeds, Lender may, in its sole discretion, (i) apply the Proceeds as a credit against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion which shall be applied without obligation by Borrower to pay any prepayment premium; (ii) apply the Proceeds to restore the Improvements, provided that Lender will not be obligated to see to the proper application of the Proceeds and provided further that any amounts released for Restoration will not be deemed a payment on the Debt; or (iii) deliver the Proceeds to Borrower.
Section 7.4. Conditions to Availability of Proceeds for Restoration. Notwithstanding the preceding Section, after a Casualty or a Condemnation (a “Destruction Event”). Lender will make the Proceeds (less any third party costs incurred by Lender in collecting the Proceeds) available for Restoration in accordance with the conditions for disbursements set forth in the Section entitled “Restoration”, provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) Borrower or the transferee under a Permitted Transfer, if any, continues to be Borrower at the time of the Destruction Event and at all times thereafter until the Proceeds have been fully disbursed;
(ii) No default under the Loan Documents exists at the time of the Destruction Event;
(iii) a “material number” of the Leases in effect immediately prior to the Destruction Event and all Property Documents in effect immediately prior to the Destruction Event that are essential to the use and operation of the Property continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the Destruction Event. A “material number” shall
15
mean leases which, in the aggregate, include more than 10% of the Property, based on rentable area;
(iv) if the Destruction Event is a Condemnation, Borrower delivers to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Improvements can be restored to an economically and architecturally viable unit;
(v) Borrower delivers to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Proceeds are sufficient to complete Restoration or if the Proceeds are insufficient to complete Restoration, Borrower first deposits with Lender funds (“Additional Funds”) that when added to the Proceeds will be sufficient to complete Restoration;
(vi) if the Destruction Event is a Casualty, Borrower delivers to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Insurer under each affected Policy has not denied liability under the Policy as to Borrower or the insured under the Policy;
(vii) Lender is satisfied that the proceeds of any business interruption insurance in effect together with other available gross revenues from the Property are sufficient to pay Debt Service Payments after paying the Impositions, Insurance Premiums, reasonable and customary operating expenses and capital expenditures until Restoration is complete;
(viii) Lender is satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or before the date (the “Restoration Completion Date”) that is the earliest of: (A) 12 months prior to the Maturity Date; (B) 12 months after the Destruction Event; (C) the earliest date required for completion of Restoration under any Lease or any Property Document; or (D) any date required by Law; and

The reduced debt service payments will be calculated using the Fixed Interest Rate and an amortization schedule that will achieve the same proportionate amortization of the reduced Principal over the then remaining Term as would have been achieved if the Principal and the originally scheduled Debt Service Payments had not been reduced. Borrower will execute any documentation that Lender deems reasonably necessary to evidence the reduced Principal and debt service payments.

(d) Lender may elect at any time prior to commencement of Restoration or while work is in progress to retain, at Borrower’s expense, an independent engineer or other consultant to review the plans and specifications, to inspect the work as it progresses and to provide reports.

All interest earned on such Restoration Funds shall be applied and distributed in the same manner as the Restoration Funds hereunder.
(g) Borrower will pay all of Lender’s reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with a Destruction Event or Restoration. If Borrower fails to do so, then in addition to the Remedies, Lender may from time to time reimburse itself out of the Restoration Funds.
(h) If any excess Proceeds remains after Restoration, Lender shall deliver the excess to Borrower unless a monetary Event of Default has occurred, in which event Lender may elect, in its sole discretion either to apply the excess as a credit against any portion of the Debt as selected by Lender in its sole discretion or to deliver the excess to Borrower.

Section 14.5. General Provisions Pertaining to Receiver and other Remedies.
(a) Borrower agrees that upon or any time (i) after an Event of Default occurs, or (ii) after the first publication of notice of sale for the foreclosure of the lien of this Mortgage pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 580, or (iii) after the commencement of an action to foreclose this Mortgage pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 581, or (iv) during the period of redemption after foreclosure of this Mortgage, then in any such event, Lender will, upon application to the district court where the Property or any part thereof is located by an action separate from the foreclosure under Chapter 580 or in the foreclosure action under Chapter 581 (it being understood and agreed that the existence of a foreclosure under Chapter 580 or a foreclosure action under Chapter 581 is not a prerequisite to any action for a Receiver under this Mortgage, be entitled to the appointment of a Receiver for the Rents which accrue and are owing for the use or occupation of the Property. Lender will be entitled to the appointment of a Receiver without regard to waste, adequacy of the security or solvency of Borrower. The court will determine the amount of bond to be posted by the Receiver. The Receiver, who will be an experienced property manager, will collect (until the Debt is paid in full and, in the case of a foreclosure sale, during the entire redemption period) the Rents manage the Property so to prevent waste, execute Leases within or beyond the period of the receivership if approved by the court and apply all Rents collected by the Receiver in the following order:
34
(i) to the payment of all reasonable fees of the Receiver approved by the court;
(ii) to the repayment of all tenant security deposits, with interest thereon, as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 504B.178;

(v) to the payment of expenses for normal operations and maintenance of the Property;

(vii) if received during or with respect to the period of redemption after a foreclosure sale of the Property:
(A) if the purchaser at the foreclosure sale is not Lender, first to Lender to the extent of any deficient of the sale proceeds to repay the Debt, second to the purchaser as a credit to the redemption price, but if the Property is not redeemed, then to the purchaser of the Property;
(B) if purchaser at the foreclosure sale is Lender, to Lender to the extent of any deficiency of the sale proceeds to repay the Debt and the balance to be retained by Lender as a credit to the redemption price, but if the Property is not redeemed, then to Lender, whether or not any deficiency exists.
As provided in Minnesota Statutes, Section 582.03, Lender will have the right at any time and without limitation to advance money to the Receiver to pay any part of or all of the items which the Receiver should otherwise pay if cash were available from the Property and sums so advanced with interest at the rate provided in the Note, will be secured by this Mortgage, or if advanced during the period of redemption, will be a part of the sum required to be paid to redeem the Property from the sale.
Borrower for itself and any subsequent owner of the Property hereby waives any and all defenses to the application for a Receiver and specifically consents to the appointment of the Receiver, ex parte without notice but nothing contained in this Mortgage is to be construed to deprive Lender of any other right, remedy or privilege it may have under the Law to have a
35
Receiver appointed. The provision for the appointment of a Receiver and the assignment of the Rents, is an express condition upon which the Loan is made. The rights and remedies provided for in this Mortgage will be deemed to be cumulative and in addition to, and not in limitation of, those provided by Law, and if no Receiver is appointed, Lender may proceed to collect the Rents.

(iv) enter into, modify, enforce, terminate, renew or accept surrender of Leases and evict tenants;
(v) appear in and defend any Proceeding brought in connection with the Property and bring any Proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, that Lender, in its sole discretion, determines should be brought to protect the Property as well as Borrower’s and Lender’s respective interests in the Property; and
(vii) perform any act in the place of Borrower that Lender or the Receiver deems necessary (A) to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Property; (B) to increase the gross receipts from the Property; or (C) otherwise to protect Borrower’s and Lender’s respective interests in the Property.
(c) Borrower appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, at Lender’s election, to perform any actions and to execute and record any instruments necessary to effectuate the actions described in this Section, in each instance only at Lender’s election and only to the extent Borrower has failed to comply with the provisions of this Section.

(v) Lender may bid for and acquire the Property at a sale and, in lieu of paying cash, may credit the amount of Lender’s bid against any portion of the Debt selected by Lender in its sole discretion after deducting from the amount of Lender’s bid the expenses of the sale, costs of enforcement and other amounts that Lender is authorized to deduct at Law, in equity or otherwise; and
(vi) Lender’s receipt of the proceeds of a sale will be sufficient consideration for the portion of the Property sold and Lender will apply the proceeds as set forth in this Mortgage.
Section 14.7. Application of Proceeds. Lender may apply the proceeds of any sale of the Property by power of sale or pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure and sale and any other amounts collected by Lender in connection with the exercise of the Remedies to payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender may determine in its sole discretion or in such priority and proportions as required by Law.
Section 14.8. Intentionally Deleted.
Section 14.9. Tenant at Sufferance. If Lender or a Receiver enters the Property in the exercise of the Remedies and Borrower is allowed to remain in occupancy of the Property, Borrower will pay to Lender or the Receiver, as the case may be, in advance, a reasonable rent for the Property occupied by Borrower. If Borrower fails to pay the rent, Borrower may be dispossessed by the usual Proceedings available against defaulting tenants.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 18.1. Applicable Law. This Mortgage is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the Laws of the State or Commonwealth where the Property is located, except to the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code requires otherwise.
Section 18.2. Usury Limitations. Borrower and Lender intend to comply with all Laws with respect to the charging and receiving of interest. Any amounts charged or received by Lender for the use or forbearance of the Principal to the extent permitted by Law, will be amortized and spread throughout the Term until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest charged or received by Lender on account of the Principal does not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. If any amount charged or received under the Loan Documents that is deemed to be interest is determined to be in excess of the amount permitted to be charged or received at the Maximum Interest Rate, the excess will be deemed to be a prepayment of Principal when paid, without premium, and any portion of the excess not capable of being so applied will be refunded to Borrower. If during the Term the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, is eliminated, then for the purposes of the Loan, there will be no Maximum Interest Rate.
Section 18.3. Lender’s Discretion. Wherever under the Loan Documents any matter is required to be satisfactory to Lender, Lender has the right to approve or determine any matter or Lender has an election, Lender’s approval, determination or election will be made in Lender’s reasonable discretion unless expressly provided to the contrary.
Section 18.4. Unenforceable Provisions. If any provision in the Loan Documents is found to be illegal or unenforceable or would operate to invalidate any of the Loan Documents, then the provision will be deemed expunged and the Loan Documents will be construed as though the provision was not contained in the Loan Documents and the remainder of the Loan Documents will remain in full force and effect.
Section 18.5. Survival of Borrower’s Obligations. Borrower’s representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Documents, including the obligations set forth in Section 15.1(c)(xiv) herein, will continue in full force and effect and survive (i) satisfaction of the Obligations; (ii) release of the lien of this Mortgage; (iii) assignment or other transfer of all or any portion of Lender’s interest in the Loan Documents or the Property; (iv) Lender’s exercise of any of the Remedies or any of Lender’s other rights under the Loan Documents; (v) a
44
Transfer; (vi) amendments to the Loan Documents; and (vii) any other act or omission that might otherwise be construed as a release or discharge of Borrower; provided that in the case of (i) or (ii) above, such representations, warranties and covenants shall not survive longer than 18 months after such satisfaction or release.
Section 18.6. Relationship Between Borrower and Lender; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Lender is not a partner of or joint venturer with Borrower or any other entity as a result of the Loan or Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents; the relationship between Lender and Borrower is strictly that of creditor and debtor. Each Loan Document is an agreement between the parties to that Loan Document for the mutual benefit of the parties and no entities other than the parties to that Loan Document will be a third party beneficiary or will have any claim against Lender or Borrower by virtue of the Loan Document. As between Lender and Borrower, any actions taken by Lender under the Loan Documents will be taken for Lender’s protection only, and Lender has not and will not be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower or to any other entity by virtue of Lender’s actions.
(b) All conditions to Lender’s performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents are imposed solely for the benefit of Lender. No entity other than Lender will have standing to require satisfaction of the conditions in accordance with their provisions or will be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to perform its obligations in the absence of strict compliance with any of the conditions.
Section 18.7. Partial Releases: Extensions: Waivers. Lender may: (i) release any part of the Property or any entity obligated for any of the Obligations; (ii) extend the time for payment or performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise amend the provisions for payment or performance by agreement with any entity that is obligated for the Obligations or that has an interest in the Property; (iii) accept additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations; and (iv) waive any entity’s performance of an Obligation, release any entity or individual now or in the future liable for the performance of the Obligation or waive the exercise of any Remedy or option. Lender may exercise any of the foregoing rights without notice, without regard to the amount of any consideration given, without affecting the priority of the Loan Documents, without releasing any entity not specifically released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, without releasing any guarantor(s) or surety(ies) of any of the Obligations, without effecting a novation of the Loan Documents and, with respect to a waiver, without waiving future performance of the Obligation or exercise of the Remedy waived.
Section 18.8. Service of Process. Borrower irrevocably consents to service of process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Borrower at its address set forth in the Article entitled “Notices”.
Section 18.9. Entire Agreement. Oral agreements or commitments between Borrower and Lender to lend money, to extend credit or to forbear from enforcing repayment of a debt,
45
including promises to extend or renew the debt, are not enforceable. Any agreements between Borrower and Lender relating to the Loan are contained in the Loan Documents, which contain the complete and exclusive statement of the agreements between Borrower and Lender, except as Borrower and Lender may later agree in writing to amend the Loan Documents. The language of each Loan Document will be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning and will not be construed against the draftsman.
Section 18.10. No Oral Amendment. The Loan Documents may not be amended, waived or terminated orally or by any act or omission made individually by Borrower or Lender but may be amended, waived or terminated only by a written document signed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, waiver or termination is sought.
Section 18.11. Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents will not affect any other provisions of the Loan Documents, which will be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision never had been included.
Section 18.12. Covenants Run with the Land. Subject to the restrictions on transfer contained in the Article entitled “TRANSFERS, LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES”, all of the covenants of this Mortgage and the Assignment run with the Land, will bind all parties hereto and all tenants and subtenants of the Land or the Improvements and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and all occupants and subsequent owners of the Property, and will inure to the benefit of Lender and all subsequent holders of the Note and this Mortgage.
Section 18.13. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to Borrower’s payment and performance of the Obligations.
Section 18.14. Subrogation. If the Principal or any other amount advanced by Lender is used directly or indirectly to pay off, discharge or satisfy all or any part of an encumbrance affecting the Property, then Lender is subrogated to the encumbrance and to any security held by the holder of the encumbrance, all of which will continue in full force and effect in favor of Lender as additional security for the Obligations.
Section 18.15. Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one person or entity, the obligations and liabilities of each such person or entity under this Mortgage are joint and several.
Section 18.16. Successors and Assigns. The Loan Documents bind the parties to the Loan Documents and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors, agents and representatives and inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors, agents and representatives.
