Otherwise, in State Farm’s sole discretion, all Proceeds, less Collection Expenses, shall be applied: (A) to the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity; or (B) to the cost of Restoration as set forth in Section 3.10 hereof.

streets) and shall deliver to State Farm copies of any and all papers served in connection with any such proceeding. |
(b) Mortgagor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto State Farm the entire Proceeds of any and all awards resulting from any Taking. State Farm is hereby authorized to collect and receive from the condemnation authorities the entire Proceeds and is further authorized to give appropriate receipts and acquittances therefor. |
(c) In the event of any such Taking, any and all such Proceeds shall be applied, after deducting therefrom any Collection Expenses, in State Farm’s sole discretion but subject to the further terms of this Section 3.9, to: (i) the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity; or (ii) the cost of Restoration pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof. |
(d) If (i) the Proceeds of any Taking exceed the greater of (A) $500,000; or (B) 5% of the then value of the Secured Property (as determined by an M.A.I.

(e) If (i) the Proceeds of any Taking do not exceed the greater of (A) $500,000; or (B) 5% of the then value of the Secured Property (as determined by an M.A.I. Appraisal obtained by State Farm at the cost and expense of Mortgagor); (ii) no Event of Default is in existence on the date of such Taking and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default; and (iii) the Viability Requirements are met; then, such Proceeds, after deducting therefrom the Collection Expenses, shall be applied to the cost of Restoration pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof. |
(f) If State Farm applies the Proceeds to the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of maturity, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, no premium or fee shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness from the Proceeds. In addition, if the Proceeds are applied to the Indebtedness because State Farm has determined that the Viability Requirements have not been satisfied, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of the date of prepayment of the remaining Indebtedness in full which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, Mortgagor may, at its option, pay |

the remaining Indebtedness in full (but not in part) without a premium or fee at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such application. |
(g) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the Taking is, in State Farm’s determination, of such a nature that the Real Estate and the Improvements will not require Restoration, all Proceeds, after deducting therefrom the Collection Expenses, shall be applied in State Farm’s sole discretion to installments of Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, no premium or fee shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness from the Proceeds. |
3.10 Restoration Using Proceeds. |
(a) In the event State Farm elects (or is required hereby) to make any Proceeds available for Restoration, Mortgagor shall complete, in form and with supporting documentation reasonably required by State Farm, an estimate of the cost to repair or to restore the Real Estate and Improvements to the condition at least equal to the condition in which they existed prior to such damage, destruction or Taking, free from any security interest in, lien or encumbrance on, or reservation of title to, such Real Estate and Improvements. |
(b) The Proceeds and, if applicable, other amounts payable by Mortgagor to State Farm necessary to complete Restoration shall be held by State Farm or if State Farm so desires, a disbursing agent selected by State Farm. Said Proceeds may be invested using Mortgagor’s taxpayer identification number in an interest bearing account mutually acceptable to Mortgagor and State Farm. The costs and expenses of administering disbursements shall be paid by Mortgagor. In the event the amount of the Proceeds are insufficient to cover the cost of Restoration, Mortgagor shall pay to State Farm upon demand the cost of Restoration in excess of the Proceeds, such excess to be held by State Farm with the Proceeds. |
(c) Subject to State Farm’s right to limit the number of disbursements, the Proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon State Farm’s receipt of architect’s certificates, waivers or subordinations of lien, contractor’s sworn statements and such other evidence as State Farm or any disbursing agent may reasonably require to verify the cost and fact of the completion of the work included in said disbursement. Under no circumstances shall any portion of the Proceeds be released until State Farm has been reasonably assured that the Proceeds remaining after the requested disbursement will be sufficient to complete Restoration. No payment of Proceeds made prior to the final completion of Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time. Any Proceeds remaining after Restoration shall be applied against the installments of Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity without any prepayment premium or fee (provided an Event of Default shall not then exist). |

Until the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Mortgagor shall not have any right to subrogation and Mortgagor waives any right to enforce any remedy which Mortgagor now has or may hereafter have against State Farm or against any other Person and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any Collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by State Farm for or with respect to the Indebtedness and/or the Obligations.

In consideration of the security provided by Mortgagor to State Farm for repayment of the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, the liens on and security interests in the Secured Property granted pursuant to this Mortgage and the assignment of the Rents and Leases made pursuant to the Assignment of Rents and Leases, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Mortgage or under any of the other Loan Documents, State Farm agrees that it shall not, except as otherwise set forth in this Section, seek to enforce, nor shall State Farm be entitled to enforce, any deficiency or monetary judgment against Mortgagor, Guarantor, any shareholder or other affiliate or subsidiary of Guarantor, or Mortgagor, any partner of Mortgagor, any member of
- 34 -
Mortgagor, any shareholder of Mortgagor or any beneficiary of Mortgagor (individually, an “Exculpated Party”, and collectively, the “Exculpated Parties”), personally, and shall not levy or execute judgment upon any property of the Exculpated Parties, other than the Secured Property; it being expressly agreed, acknowledged and understood, however, that the foregoing limitation of the liability of an Exculpated Party shall not apply to the extent that such Exculpated Party is, pursuant to the further terms hereof, liable for any Losses (as defined in this Section 7.13); and nothing contained herein shall in any manner or way release, affect or impair:
(a) The existence of the Indebtedness and Obligations created in and evidenced by the Loan Documents; |

(c) The enforceability of the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, Master Lease and any Guaranty given to State Farm; |
(d) The right of State Farm to recover from Mortgagor and Guarantor all Indebtedness, including principal, interest and other amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents, following (i) a Transfer of all or any portion of the Secured Property or a Transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the interests in the entity (or entities) comprising Mortgagor, each without the prior written consent of State Farm or in violation of Section 3.11 of this Mortgage; and/or (ii) the occurrence of any of the bankruptcy-related Events of Default under Sections 4.1(i)(C), 4.1(j), 4.1(k) (solely with respect to authorizing the action set forth in Section 4.1(i)(C)) or 4.1(l) of this Mortgage; or |
(e) The right of State Farm to recover from Mortgagor and any Guarantor (Mortgagor and Guarantor are sometimes hereafter individually called a “Liable Party” and collectively called the “Liable Parties”), who shall be jointly and severally liable for all Losses incurred by State Farm arising from the following: |
(i) The failure to apply any Rents received by any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties at any time after an Event of Default (all such Rents received during such period being herein called “Recoverable Rents”) to (A) the payment of any amount due under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Indebtedness; (B) the payment of all operating expenses of the Secured Property; or (C) the performance of any Obligations required under the Loan Documents; provided, however, the Liable Parties shall not be liable to State Farm under this subsection (i) for any Recoverable Rents in excess of the Recoverable Rents applied to the payment of the amounts and the performance of the obligations set forth in (A), (B) and (C) above; |
(ii) The misapplication or misappropriation of any tenant security deposits, advance or prepaid Rents, cancellation or termination fees or other similar sums paid to or held by Mortgagor, any affiliate of Mortgagor or any other Person (other than State Farm) in |

connection with the operation of the Secured Property in violation of the Loan Documents or any Leases affecting the Secured Property; |
(iii) The willful or wanton act or omission on the part of any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties resulting in damage to or destruction of all or any portion of the Secured Property, including, without limitation, waste or any act of arson or malicious destruction by any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties; |
(iv) The failure to maintain insurance as required by the Loan Documents or any Leases affecting the Secured Property or the failure to timely pay insurance premiums, real estate taxes, regular or special assessments or utility charges affecting the Secured Property; |
(v) The failure of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties to deliver to State Farm any Proceeds received by any of them relating to the Secured Property, or to use such Proceeds for Restoration of the Secured Property in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; |
(vi) Any fraud or willful misrepresentation of a material fact by any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties in any document executed or presented to State Farm in connection with the Loan; or |
(vii) The failure on the part of any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties to comply with the provisions of the Environmental Indemnification Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the indemnification obligations under this subsection (vii) shall not apply to any costs incurred by or imposed upon State Farm which arise solely as a consequence of a condition coming into existence on the Secured Property subsequent to the time of both State Farm taking title to the Secured Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and State Farm taking physical possession of the Secured Property, unless such costs are incurred in connection with an event or events related to a condition existing at the Secured Property prior to or at the time of transfer of title and physical possession of the Secured Property to State Farm; provided, however, Mortgagor shall bear the burden of proof that such event or events: (A) occurred subsequent to the transfer of title and physical possession to State Farm; and (B) did not occur as a result of any action of any of the Exculpated Parties or Liable Parties. |
As used herein, “Losses” means any and all claims, suits, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liabilities), actions, proceedings, obligations, debts, damages, costs, fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses and other costs of defense and internal administrative fees assessed by State Farm), judgments, awards or amounts paid in settlement of whatever kind or nature.

- 36 -
Mortgagor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim filed by any party, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, relating directly or indirectly to this Mortgage or any acts or omissions of Mortgagor in connection therewith or contemplated thereby.
7.15 Servicing Fees and Expenses. |
Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that State Farm shall impose certain reasonable administrative processing fees (the “Servicing Fees”) in connection with (a) the extension, renewal, modification, amendment and termination of the Loan Documents; (b) the release or substitution of collateral therefor; (c) the consideration of any consents, waivers and approvals with respect to the Secured Property or Mortgagor; (d) the review of any Lease or proposed Lease or the preparation or review of any tenant estoppel certificate or any subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement; or (e) any other services provided by State Farm or any of its agents to or on behalf of Mortgagor in connection with the Secured Property, the Loan Documents or the Indebtedness secured thereby (the occurrence of any of the foregoing shall hereafter be referred to as a “Servicing Action”). Mortgagor hereby acknowledges and agrees to pay, immediately, upon demand, all such Servicing Fees (as the same may be increased or decreased from time to time), and any additional fees of a similar type or nature that may be imposed by State Farm from time to time in connection with a Servicing Action. Mortgagor shall also be responsible for the payment of all fees and expenses of State Farm’s outside counsel in the event that State Farm, in its sole discretion, shall determine that the assistance of an outside attorney is necessary or appropriate to accomplish the Servicing Action.
7.16 Subrogation. |
To the extent the proceeds of the Indebtedness are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or encumbrance affecting the Secured Property (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any prior lien), State Farm shall be subrogated to all rights, interests and liens owned or held by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, charges and encumbrances, irrespective of whether such liens, charges or encumbrances are released of record; provided, however, the terms and provisions hereof shall govern the rights and remedies of State Farm and, to the extent permitted by law without impairing any of State Farm’s rights of subrogation, shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights and remedies under the lien or liens to which State Farm is subrogated hereunder.
7.17 Modifications and Extensions. |
Mortgagor and State Farm may agree to (a) extend the time for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness; (b) reduce, rearrange or otherwise modify the terms of payment thereof; (c) accept a renewal note or notes therefor; and (d) otherwise deal with the Secured Property or the Loan Documents, all without notice to or the consent of any junior lienholder or any other Person having an interest in the Secured Property and/or Collateral subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and without the consent of Mortgagor if Mortgagor has then parted with title to the Secured
- 37 -
Property and/or Collateral. No such extension, reduction, modification, renewal or dealing shall affect the priority of this Mortgage or release any liability of Mortgagor or any other Person or impair the security hereof in any manner whatsoever.
7.18 Future Advances. |
Pursuant to 42 Pa. C.S.A. §8144, this Mortgage secures the unpaid balance of advances made, with respect to the Secured Property, for the payment of taxes, assessments, maintenance charges, insurance premiums or costs incurred by State Farm for the protection of the Secured Property or the lien of this Mortgage, and expenses incurred by State Farm by reason of an Event of Default, and the priority of the lien of such advances shall relate back to the date of recording of this Mortgage.
7.19 Confession of Judgment. |
FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING POSSESSION OF THE SECURED PROPERTY UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HEREUNDER, MORTGAGOR HEREBY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE, AS ATTORNEY FOR MORTGAGOR AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH MORTGAGOR TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT FOR ENTERING IN ANY COMPETENT COURT AN ACTION IN EJECTMENT FOR POSSESSION OF THE SECURED PROPERTY AND TO APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST MORTGAGOR AND AGAINST ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH MORTGAGOR, IN FAVOR OF STATE FARM, FOR RECOVERY BY STATE FARM OF POSSESSION THEREOF, FOR WHICH THIS MORTGAGE, OR A COPY THEREOF VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT, SHALL BE A SUFFICIENT WARRANT; AND THEREUPON A WRIT OF POSSESSION MAY IMMEDIATELY ISSUE FOR POSSESSION OF THE SECURED PROPERTY, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER AND WITHOUT ANY STAY OF EXECUTION. IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN COMMENCED IT SHOULD BE DISCONTINUED, OR POSSESSION OF THE SECURED PROPERTY SHALL REMAIN IN OR BE RESTORED TO MORTGAGOR, STATE FARM SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT FOR THE SAME EVENT OF DEFAULT OR ANY SUBSEQUENT EVENT OF DEFAULT TO BRING ONE OR MORE FURTHER ACTIONS AS ABOVE PROVIDED TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE SECURED PROPERTY. STATE FARM MAY BRING AN ACTION IN EJECTMENT AND CONFESS JUDGMENT THEREIN BEFORE OR AFTER THE INSTITUTION OF PROCEEDINGS TO FORECLOSE THIS MORTGAGE OR TO ENFORCE THE NOTE, OR AFTER ENTRY OF JUDGMENT THEREIN OR ON THE NOTE, OR AFTER A SHERIFF’S SALE OF THE SECURED PROPERTY IN WHICH STATE FARM IS THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER; THE AUTHORIZATION TO PURSUE SUCH PROCEEDINGS FOR OBTAINING POSSESSION AND CONFESS JUDGMENT THEREIN IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE REMEDIES FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS MORTGAGE AND THE NOTE, AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY EXECUTION SALE TO STATE FARM.
- 38 -
MORTGAGOR CONFIRMS TO STATE FARM THAT (I) MORTGAGOR IS A BUSINESS ENTITY AND THAT ITS PRINCIPALS ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE IN BUSINESS MATTERS; (II) THE TERMS OF THIS MORTGAGE, INCLUDING THE FOREGOING WARRANT OF ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT, HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED AND AGREED UPON IN A COMMERCIAL CONTEXT; AND (III) IT HAS FULLY REVIEWED THE AFORESAID WARRANT OF ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT WITH ITS OWN COUNSEL AND IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING CERTAIN RIGHTS IT WOULD OTHERWISE POSSESS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE RIGHT TO ANY NOTICE OR A HEARING PRIOR TO THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT BY STATE FARM PURSUANT TO THE AFORESAID WARRANT OF ATTORNEY.
