Section 4.1.

(i)
if a casualty occurs which results in a termination of the Lease, or if a condemnation occurs which results in the termination of the Lease (in either case as evidenced by a certificate of the Tenant detailing the same) and the Company shall be required to prepay the Note pursuant to Section 2.12 of this Mortgage, such proceeds, award or compensation, as the case may be, shall be applied in payment and satisfaction of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note to the date of payment upon the terms and in the manner provided in Section 2.12 of this Mortgage, and the balance, if any, of any such proceeds shall be paid to the Company; or
(ii)
if a casualty or condemnation occurs which does not result in the termination of the Lease and the Company or the Tenant shall be required to repair, rebuild or restore the Mortgaged Property as required pursuant to the Lease, all casualty insurance proceeds resulting from such casualty and/or all condemnation awards and condemnation insurance proceeds resulting from such condemnation shall be paid over by the Mortgagee to the Company (or as the Company may direct from time to time) upon a written application of the Company and accompanied by such evidence in reasonable detail as may be satisfactory to the Mortgagee supporting such application for the purpose of paying, or reimbursing the Company for the payment of, the reasonable cost, as shown by such certificate, of repairing, rebuilding or restoring part or all of the Mortgaged Property damaged, destroyed or taken (“Restoration”), but only for and to the extent that the Company shows by such evidence of costs that the proceeds, award or compensation (“Restoration Funds”) remaining on deposit with the Mortgagee, together with any additional funds irrevocably allocated or otherwise provided for in a manner
-35-
satisfactory to the Mortgagee for such purpose, shall be sufficient to complete such Restoration and restore the Mortgaged Property (as nearly as practicable) at least to the market value and condition which existed immediately prior to the damage, destruction, condemnation or taking, as the case may be, free from liens or encumbrances except Permitted Encumbrances. The Company shall deliver to the Mortgagee any additional funds needed to complete the Restoration prior to the disbursement of any Restoration Funds. Every such application for the payment of such proceeds, award or compensation shall state that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any proceeds in excess of the amount needed for Restoration remaining after the Restoration has been completed shall be (i) if the amount of rent payable under the Lease has been reduced as a result of such condemnation or casualty, such amounts shall be held by the Mortgagee and at the option of the Mortgagee either (y) applied to future payments on the Note as they come due (or as otherwise required to satisfy any obligations of the Company under any of the Operative Agreements) to the extent necessary after the application of each rent payment thereafter received or (z) applied to the outstanding principal (without premium) and interest then due on the Note (provided that, if amounts are applied to principal, the amortization schedule on the Note shall be adjusted to, if possible, avoid a future payment default while at the same time amortize the outstanding principal on the Note in full by the original maturity date of the Note) or (ii) if the amount of rent payable under the Lease has not been so reduced as a result of such condemnation or casualty and so long as no Default or Event of Default is then existing, such amounts shall be disbursed to the Company. The Mortgagee shall receive a supplement hereto sufficient, as insured by appropriate title insurance acceptable to the Beneficiary.
(b)
Subject to Section 2.15(b) hereof with respect to adjustments of losses, any appraisal or adjustment of such loss or any settlement or payment of indemnity therefor which shall be agreed upon between the Company and the relevant insurance company shall be accepted by the Mortgagee.
Section 4.2.
Title Insurance. Any moneys received by the Mortgagee as payment for any loss under any policy of title insurance which was delivered by the Company shall become part of the Mortgaged Property and shall be paid and applied in the same manner contemplated by Section 5.3 hereof.

Upon a written request of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage, or at any time when the Mortgagee shall determine that cash is required pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, the Mortgagee shall sell all or any designated part of such investments at the then market price therefor and shall pay and apply the proceeds in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1.
Section 4.4.

(l)
An event of default shall occur under or with respect to any provision of any Operative Agreement, which event of default is not specifically described in any other subparagraph of this Section 5.1.
Section 5.2.
Remedies. When any Event of Default described in subparagraph (j) of Section 5.1 has occurred, then the Note shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand or notice of any kind and when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Mortgagee may exercise any one or more or all, and in any order, of the remedies hereinafter set forth, it being expressly understood that no remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies; but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute:
(a)
The Mortgagee may, by notice in writing to the Company declare the entire unpaid balance of the Note to be immediately due and payable; and thereupon all such unpaid balance, together with all accrued interest thereon and premium, if any, shall be and become immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. Upon the Note becoming due and payable as a result of any Event of Default as aforesaid, the Company will forthwith pay to the Mortgagee the entire principal and interest accrued on the Note and, to the extent permitted by law and as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an additional amount equal to the then applicable Make-Whole Amount determined as of the date on which the Note shall so become due and payable. No course of dealing on the part of the Mortgagee nor any delay or failure on the part of the Mortgagee to exercise any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies. The Company further agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to pay to the Mortgagee all costs and expenses incurred by it in the collection of the Note upon any default hereunder or thereon, including the reasonable compensation to the Mortgagee’s attorneys for all services rendered in connection therewith.
(b)
Subject always to the then existing rights, if any, of the Tenant or any permitted subtenant or assignee under the Lease, the Mortgagee personally or by agents or attorneys may, to the extent permitted by law (i) enter into and take possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and may forthwith use, operate, manage, insure, repair and improve the Mortgaged Property and take any other action which, in the Mortgagee’s judgment, is necessary or proper to conserve the value of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income from the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (and for such purpose the Company does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for it and in its name, place and stead to receive, collect and receipt for all of the foregoing, the Company irrevocably acknowledging that any payment made to
-39-
the Mortgagee hereunder shall be a good receipt and acquittance against the Company to the extent so made), (iii) pay all principal charges including taxes and assessments levied thereon and operating and maintenance expenses and all disbursements and liabilities of the Company hereunder and (iv) apply the net proceeds arising from any such operation of the Mortgaged Property as provided in Section 5.3 hereof in respect of the proceeds of a sale of the Mortgaged Property. The right to enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and use any personal property therein, to manage, operate and conserve the same, and to collect the rents, issues and profits thereof, shall be in addition to all other rights or remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder or afforded by law, and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. The expenses (including any reasonable receiver’s fees, counsel fees, costs and agent’s compensation) incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured hereby which the Company promises to pay upon demand together with interest at the Default Rate. The Mortgagee shall not be liable to account to the Company for any action taken pursuant hereto other than to account for any rents actually received by the Mortgagee. Without taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagee may, in the event the Mortgaged Property becomes vacant or is abandoned, take such steps as it deems appropriate to protect and secure the Mortgaged Property (including hiring watchmen therefor) and all costs incurred in so doing shall constitute so much additional Indebtedness Hereby Secured payable upon demand with interest thereon at the Default Rate.
(c)
The Mortgagee may, if at the time such action may be lawful and always subject to compliance with any mandatory legal requirements, either with or without taking possession and either before or after taking possession, and without instituting any legal proceedings whatsoever, and having first given notice of such sale to the Company at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such sale and having given any other notice which may be required by law, sell and dispose of said Mortgaged Property or any part thereof at public auction or private sale to the highest bidder, which may be the Company in one lot as an entirety or in separate lots (the Company for itself and for all who may claim by, through or under it hereby expressly waiving and releasing all rights to have the Mortgaged Property marshalled to the extent permitted by law), and either for cash or on credit and on such terms as the Mortgagee may determine and at any place (whether or not it be the location of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof) designated in the notice above referred to. Any such sale or sales may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or sales or for any such adjourned sale or sales, without further published notice.
(d)
The Mortgagee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by a suit or suits in equity or at law, or for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in the Note, or in aid of the execution of any power herein or therein granted, or for the foreclosure of this Mortgage, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy. Upon the bringing of any suit to foreclose this Mortgage or to enforce any other remedy available hereunder, the plaintiff shall be entitled as a matter of right, without notice and without giving bond to the Company or anyone claiming under, by or through it, and without regard to the solvency or insolvency
-40-
of the Company or the then value of the Mortgaged Property, to apply to an appropriate court to have a receiver appointed of all the Mortgaged Property and of the earnings, income, rents, issues, profits and proceeds thereof, with such power as the court making such appointment shall confer and the Company does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment.
(e)
In case of any sale of the Mortgaged Property, or of any part thereof, pursuant to any judgment or decree of any court or otherwise in connection with the enforcement of any of the terms of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee may bid and become the purchaser, and the purchaser or purchasers, for the purpose of making settlement for or payment of the purchase price, shall be entitled to turn in and use the Note and any claims for interest and premium matured and unpaid thereon, in order that there may be credited as paid on the purchase price the sum apportionable and applicable to the Note, including principal and interest and premium thereof, out of the net proceeds of such sale after allowing for the proportion of the total purchase price required to be paid in actual cash. If at any foreclosure proceeding the Mortgaged Property shall be sold for a sum less than the total amount of indebtedness for which judgment is therein given, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to the entry of a deficiency decree against the Company and against the property of the Company for the amount of such deficiency.
(f)
The Mortgagee shall have any and all rights and remedies (including, without limitation, extra judicial power of sale) provided to a secured party by the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to any and all parts of the Mortgaged Property which are and which are deemed to be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Mortgagee shall, with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property constituting property of the type in respect of which realization on a lien or security interest granted therein is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code, have all the rights, options and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limitation, the right to the possession of any such property, or any part thereof, and the right to enter without legal process any premises where any such property may be found. Any requirement of said Uniform Commercial Code for reasonable notification shall be met by mailing written notice to the Company at its address set forth in Section 6.3 at least thirty (30) days prior to the sale or other event for which such notice is required.
(g)
The provisions of this Section 5.2 are subject to the condition that if at any time after the Note has been declared due and payable by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 5.1, then in every such case the Mortgagee may at its option by notice in writing sent to the Company, rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences with respect to the Note and in any such event the Company and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; provided that at the time such declaration is annulled and rescinded:
-41-
(i)
no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant to the Note or this Mortgage;
(ii)
all arrears of interest upon the Note and all other sums payable under the Note and under this Mortgage (except any principal, interest or premium on the Note which has become due and payable solely by reason of such declaration under Section 5.2) shall have been duly paid; and
(iii)
each and every other Default and Event of Default shall have been made good, cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.1;
and provided further, that no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 5.3.
Application of Proceeds. The purchase money proceeds and/or avails of any sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any remedy hereunder and/or amounts held pursuant to Section 4 hereof shall be paid to and applied as follows:
(a)
first, to the payment of costs and expenses of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the reasonable compensation of the Mortgagee, its agents, attorneys and counsel and of all proper expenses, liability and advances incurred or made hereunder by the Mortgagee, and of all taxes, assessments or liens superior to the lien of these presents, except any taxes, assessments or other superior lien subject to which said sale may have been made; and
(b)
second, to the amount then owing or unpaid on the Note for principal, premium, if any, and interest; and in case such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon the Note, then to the Mortgagee, with application on the Note to be made, first, to unpaid premium, if any, second, to the unpaid interest thereon, and third, to unpaid principal thereof; and
(c)
third, to the payment of any other Indebtedness Hereby Secured; and
(d)
fourth, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the Company, its successors and assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
Section 5.4.
Waiver of Extension, Appraisement and Stay Laws. The Company covenants that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Note pursuant to Section 5.2 and to the extent that such rights may then be lawfully waived, it will not at any time thereafter insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension or moratorium law now or at any time hereafter in force, or claim, take or insist upon any benefit or advantage of or from any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provision herein contained, or to the
-42-
decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction or, after confirmation of any such sale or sales claim or exercise any right under any statute now or hereafter made or enacted by any state or otherwise to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof, and hereby expressly waives for itself and on behalf of each and every Person, all benefit and advantage of any such law or laws which would otherwise be available to any such Person in connection with the enforcement of any of the Mortgagee’s remedies hereunder; and covenants that it will not in connection with any such enforcement proceedings invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted and delegated to the Mortgagee but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted. The Company hereby waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure pursuant to rights herein granted, on behalf of the Company, and each and every Person acquiring any interest in, or title to the Mortgaged Property described herein subsequent to the date of this Mortgage, and on behalf of all other Persons to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Any sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of the Company in and to the property sold and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Company, its successors and assigns, and against any and all persons claiming the property sold or any part thereof under, by or through the Company, its successors or assigns.
Section 5.5.
Costs and Expenses of Foreclosure. In any suit to foreclose the lien hereon there shall be allowed and included as additional Indebtedness Hereby Secured in the decree for sale all reasonable expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Mortgagee for attorney’s fees, appraiser’s fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographic charges, publication costs and costs (which may be estimated as the items to be expended after the entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examination, guarantee policies, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as the Mortgagee may deem to be reasonably necessary either to prosecute any foreclosure action or to evidence to the bidder at any sale pursuant thereto the true condition of the title to or the value of the Mortgaged Property, all of which expenditures shall become so much additional Indebtedness Hereby Secured which the Company agrees to pay and all of such shall be immediately due and payable with interest thereon from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Rate.
Section 5.6.
Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay, failure or omission of the Mortgagee to exercise any right, power or remedy arising from any default on the part of the Company shall exhaust or impair any such right or power or prevent its exercise during the continuance of such default. No waiver by the Mortgagee of any such default, whether such waiver be full or partial, shall extend to or be taken to affect any subsequent default, or to impair the rights resulting therefrom, except as may be otherwise provided herein. No right, power or remedy hereunder is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy but each and every right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any and every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or otherwise existing. Nor shall the giving, taking or
-43-
enforcement of any other or additional security, collateral or guaranty for the payment of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured operate to prejudice, waive or affect the security of this Mortgage or any rights, powers or remedies hereunder; nor shall the Mortgagee be required to first look to, enforce or exhaust such other or additional security, collateral or guaranties.
Section 5.7.
Restoration of Positions. If the Mortgagee has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Company and the Mortgagee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Mortgagee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been instituted.
