ARTICLE I
COVENANTS OF BORROWER
COVENANTS OF BORROWER
For the purpose of further securing the Obligations and for the protection of the security of
this Mortgage, for so long as the Obligations or any part thereof remains unpaid, Borrower
represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:
1.1 Representations and Warranties of Borrower. Borrower, for itself and its
successors and assigns, does hereby represent, warrant and covenant to and with Lender, its
successors and assigns, that:
-4-
(a) Organization and Existence. Borrower is duly organized and validly existing as a
limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified
to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and in all other jurisdictions in which
Borrower is transacting business.
(b) Authorization. Borrower has the power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform the obligations imposed on it under the Loan Documents and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents. Borrower has obtained or made all necessary consents,
approvals, authorizations, orders or filings required by any partners or members of Borrower whose
approval is required by the terms of Borrower’s organizational documents and such partners and
members have duly approved the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and have authorized
execution and delivery thereof by the respective signatories.
(c) Valid Execution and Delivery. All of the Loan Documents requiring execution by
Borrower have been duly and validly executed and delivered by Borrower.
(d) Enforceability. All of the Loan Documents executed by Borrower constitute valid,
legal and binding obligations of Borrower and are fully enforceable against Borrower in accordance
with their terms, subject only to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar
laws affecting creditors rights generally and statutory or other laws (including common law) now or
hereafter in effect regarding fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers and general
principles of equity.
(e) No Defenses. The Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are not subject
to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, nor would the operation of any of the
terms of the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render this Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense.
(f) Defense of Usury. Borrower knows of no facts that would support a claim of usury
to defeat or avoid its obligation to repay the principal of, interest on, and other sums or amounts
due and payable by the Borrower under, the Loan Documents.
(g) No Conflict/Violation of Law. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan
Documents by the Borrower will not cause or constitute a default under or conflict with the
organizational documents of Borrower, any Indemnitor or any Constituent Entity (as defined in
Section 1.27) of either of them. The execution, delivery and performance of the obligations
imposed on Borrower under the Loan Documents will not cause Borrower or any Indemnitor or any
Constituent Entity of either of them to be in default, including after due notice or lapse of time
or both, under the provisions of any agreement, judgment or order to which Borrower or any
Indemnitor or any Constituent Entity of either of them is a party or by which Borrower or any
Indemnitor or any Constituent Entity of either of them is bound.
(h) Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations. To the knowledge of Borrower,
after due and diligent inquiry and investigation, all of the Improvements and the use of the
Property by the Borrower comply in all material respects with, and shall remain in material
compliance with, all applicable statutes, rules, regulations and private covenants now or hereafter
relating to the ownership, construction, use or operation of the Property, including all applicable
health, fire and building codes, and all applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to
requirements for environmental protection, zoning and land use (collectively, “Applicable
Laws”). To the knowledge of Borrower, after due and diligent inquiry and investigation, all
certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including, without limitation, certificates of
completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy
-5-
and operation of the Property and for the use currently being made thereof have been obtained
and are in full force and effect. To the knowledge of Borrower, after due and diligent inquiry and
investigation, all of the Improvements comply with all material requirements of any applicable
zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances.
(i) Consents Obtained. All consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings
with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower have been obtained or made.
(j) No Litigation. There are no pending actions, suits or proceedings, arbitrations
or governmental investigations against Borrower, or to the knowledge of Borrower, after due and
diligent inquiry, the Property, any Indemnitor or any Constituent Entity of Borrower or any
Indemnitor, an adverse outcome of which could reasonably be expected to materially affect the
Borrower’s performance under the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.
(k) Title. Borrower has good and marketable fee simple title to the Real Estate and
Improvements, subject only to those matters expressly listed as exceptions to title or subordinate
matters in the title insurance policy (the “Permitted Exceptions”) accepted by Lender in
connection with this Mortgage (the “Title Insurance Policy”). Borrower’s title to the
Property has been peaceful and undisturbed and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge title thereto
has not been disputed or questioned. Further, Borrower has full power and lawful authority to
grant, bargain, sell, convey, assign, transfer and mortgage its interest in the Property in the
manner and form hereby done or intended. Borrower will preserve its interest in and title to the
Property and will forever warrant and defend the same to Lender against any and all claims
whatsoever and will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien and security
interest created herein against the claims of all persons and parties whomsoever, subject, in each
case, to the Permitted Exceptions. The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the foreclosure
of this Mortgage and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender in the event Lender
acquires title to the Property pursuant to any foreclosure.
(l) Permitted Exceptions. The Permitted Exceptions do not materially and adversely
affect (1) the ability of the Borrower to pay in full the principal and interest on the Note in the
manner provided for therein or (2) the use of the Property for the use currently being made
thereof, the operation of the Property as currently being operated or the value of the Property.
(m) First Lien. Upon the execution by the Borrower and the recording of this Mortgage
in the land records of Essex County, Massachusetts, and upon the execution and filing of UCC-1
financing statements or amendments thereto with the State of Delaware Secretary of State, the
Lender will have a valid first lien on the Property and a valid security interest in all personal
property encumbered hereby, subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the Permitted
Exceptions.
(n) ERISA. Borrower is not an entity subject to regulation or restriction under
ERISA, and no assets of Borrower are “plan assets” (as defined in ERISA).
(o) Contingent Liabilities. Neither Borrower nor any Indemnitor has any known
material contingent liabilities, except for contingent liabilities of Borrower or any Indemnitor
explicitly set forth on the financial statements of Borrower and Indemnitor that were delivered to
Lender in connection with the Loan.
(p) No Other Obligations. The Borrower has no material financial obligation under any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the
Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than
-6-
(i) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property that do not
violate Section 1.27, (ii) the Obligations, and (iii) the Principal Lease.
(q) Fraudulent Conveyance. The Borrower (1) has not entered into the Loan or any Loan
Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (2) the Borrower
Parties have received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for their obligations under the Loan
Documents. Giving effect to the Loan contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value
of the Borrower Parties’ assets exceed and will, immediately following the execution and delivery
of the Loan Documents, exceed the Borrower Parties’ total liabilities, including, without
limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair saleable
value of the Borrower Parties’ assets is and will, immediately following the execution and delivery
of the Loan Documents (including the Loan Documents as defined in those certain Mortgages given by
the two other Borrower Parties to secure the Note (collectively, the “Other Loan
Documents”), be greater than the Borrower Parties’ probable liabilities, including the maximum
amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. To
the Borrower’s knowledge, after due and diligent inquiry and investigation, the Borrower Parties’
assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the
Other Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as
conducted or as proposed to be conducted. The Borrower Parties do not intend to, and do not
believe that they will, incur debts and liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent
liabilities and other commitments) beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking
into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of the Borrower
Parties).
(r) Investment Company Act. Borrower is not (1) an “investment company” or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended; (2) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an
“affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (3) subject to any other federal or
state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
(s) Access/Utilities. The Property has vehicular and pedestrian access to and from
public ways that is adequate for the use of the Property as of the date hereof, and such access is
pursuant to either access easements for the benefit of the Property or as a result of the Real
Property abutting a public way. The Property is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm
drain facilities that provide such utilities in amounts that are adequate for the use of the
Property as of the date hereof. All public utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment
of the Property as presently used and enjoyed are located in the public right-of-way abutting the
Property, or enter the Property via permanent easements not subject to termination except with the
consent of Borrower, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property. All roads
providing vehicular and pedestrian access from the Property to public ways are located on either
access easements for the benefit of the Property or the Property. All such roads necessary for the
full utilization of the Property for its current purpose have been completed.
(t) Taxes Paid. Borrower has filed all federal, state, county and municipal tax
returns required to have been filed by Borrower, and has paid all taxes which have become due
pursuant to such returns or to any notice of assessment received by Borrower. Borrower has no
knowledge of any basis for additional assessment with respect to such Taxes and Other Charges.
Further, the Property is free from any liens for delinquent Taxes and Other Charges.
(u) Single Tax Lot. The Real Estate consists of a single lot or multiple tax lots; no
portion of said tax lot(s) covers property other than the Real Estate or a portion of the Real
Estate and no portion of the Real Estate lies in any other tax lot.
-7-
(v) Special Assessments. Except as disclosed in the Title Insurance Policy, to the
knowledge of Borrower, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, proposed special or
other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor, to the
knowledge of Borrower, are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in
such special or other assessments.
(w) Flood Zone. The Property is not located in a flood hazard area as defined by the
Federal Insurance Administration.
(x) Seismic Exposure. The Real Estate is not located in Zone 3 or Zone 4 of the
“Seismic Zone Map of the U.S.”
(y) Misstatements of Fact. No statement of fact made in the Loan Documents contains
any untrue statement of a material fact. All reports, certificates, affidavits, representations,
statements and other data furnished by or on behalf of Borrower, Indemnitor and each Constituent
Entity of each of them to Lender, or their respective agents, in connection with the Loan are true
and correct in all material respects.
(z) Condition of Improvements. The Property has not been materially damaged by fire,
water, wind or other cause of loss since the date of the inspection of the Property by Lender’s
property consultant as set forth in the property condition report prepared by said consultant and
delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (the “Property Condition Report”). Except as set
forth in the Property Condition Report, the Improvements are structurally sound, in good repair and
free of defects in materials and workmanship. Except as set forth in the Property Condition
Report, to Borrower’s knowledge after due and diligent inquiry and investigation all major building
systems located within the Improvements, including, without limitation, the heating and air
conditioning systems and the electrical and plumbing systems, are in good working order and
condition.
(aa) No Insolvency or Judgment. Neither Borrower, nor any Indemnitor, nor any
Constituent Entity of Borrower or any Indemnitor, (a) has been or is currently the subject of or a
party to any completed or pending bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or (b) is
currently the subject of any judgment unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court of the state
in which the Property is located or in any other court located in the United States. The proposed
Loan will not render the Borrower and the Borrower Parties (collectively) or any general partner or
member of Borrower insolvent. As used in this Mortgage, the term “insolvent” means that the sum
total of all of an entity’s liabilities (whether secured or unsecured, contingent or fixed, or
liquidated or unliquidated) is in excess of the value of all such entity’s non-exempt assets, i.e.,
all of the assets of the entity that are available to satisfy claims of creditors.
(bb) No Condemnation. No proceeding for the partial or total condemnation or taking
of the Property is pending, or the knowledge of Borrower, threatened.
(cc) No Labor or Materialmen Claims. All parties furnishing labor and materials to
Borrower or the Property (on behalf of Borrower) have been paid in full (or will be paid in the
ordinary course of business, provided that the amount due such parties are not due and payable as
of the date hereof) and, except for such liens or claims expressly disclosed in, and insured
against by the Title Insurance Policy, there are no mechanics’, laborers’ or materialmen’s liens or
claims outstanding for work, labor or materials affecting the Property, whether prior to, equal
with or subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.
-8-
(dd) No Purchase Options. No Tenant, person, party, firm, corporation or other entity
has an option, right of first offer, or right of first refusal, to purchase the Property, any
portion thereof or any interest therein, except as specifically described in the Title Insurance
Policy or the Principal Lease.
(ee) Leases. The Property is not subject to any leases, subleases, licenses,
concessions or other agreements related to the leasing or renting of the Property or any portion
thereof, except for the Principal Lease (as amended from time to time), or as set forth on the Rent
Roll (as defined herein). No person has any possessory interest in the Property or right to occupy
the same, other than pursuant to the Principal Lease disclosed in the Rent Roll. Borrower hereby
represents that: (i) Borrower has delivered a schedule (the “Rent Roll”) of all Leases
affecting the Property, which is attached to the Closing Certificate, which accurately and
completely sets forth in all material respects for each Lease, the following: the name of the
Tenant, the Lease expiration date, the space demised and amount of rent, which Rent Roll is true,
correct and complete as of the date hereof; and (ii) the Borrower is the owner and holder of the
landlord’s interest under the Leases, and there are no prior assignments of all or any portion of
the Leases or any portion of the Rents and Profits which are presently outstanding and have
priority over the assignment of leases and rents contained herein in Section 1.9 given by Borrower
to Lender; and (iii) each Lease constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower;
and (iv) to Borrower’s knowledge, after due and diligent inquiry and investigation no default
exists, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would exist, under any Lease
which would, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Borrower or the Property; and (v)
except as disclosed in writing in an estoppel certificate by such Tenant that has been delivered to
Lender in connection with the Loan, to the Borrower’s knowledge, after due and diligent inquiry and
investigation, no Tenant has any offset or defense to the payment of rent under its Lease; and (vi)
except as disclosed in writing in an estoppel certificate by such Tenant that has been delivered to
Lender in connection with the Loan, no Tenant has, as of the date hereof, paid rent under its Lease
more than one (1) month in advance, and the rents under such Lease has not been waived, released,
or otherwise discharged or compromised; and (vii) except as disclosed in writing in the estoppel
certificate delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan all work to be performed by Borrower
under each Lease has been substantially performed, all contributions to be made by Borrower to the
Tenant thereunder have been made and all other conditions precedent to each Tenant’s obligations

appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of
the Property, and except as specifically described in the Title Insurance Policy, no improvements
on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property and no easements or other encumbrances upon the
Real Estate encroach upon any of the Improvements, in each case so as to affect the value or
marketability of the Property.

convicted of a crime (which shall not include traffic violations) and is not currently the subject
of any pending or threatened criminal investigation or proceeding. Borrower has disclosed to
Lender in writing any civil action (whether or not such action resulted in a judgment) and
regulatory or enforcement proceeding to which Borrower and any Indemnitor was a defendant or
respondent in which it was alleged that Borrower or such Indemnitor engaged in fraud, deception or

every claim to all or any portion of the Property as a homestead.

Contracts.

relating to anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism or the requirements of the Uniting and
Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism
Act of 2001 and the related regulations issued thereunder, all as amended from time to time.
(qq) Principal Lease. (i) The Principal Lease is in full force and effect, to
Borrower’s knowledge, after due and diligent inquiry, there is no existing default under the
Principal Lease, nor is there any event which, with notice or the passage of time or both, would
constitute a default under the Principal Lease, (ii) to Borrower’s knowledge, after due and
diligent inquiry, there is no defense, offset, claim or counterclaim in favor of any party under
the Principal Lease, (iii) there is no suit, action, proceeding or audit pending, or, to Borrower’s
knowledge, threatened against or affecting the parties to the Principal Lease or the Property,
before or by any court, administrative agency, or other governmental authority which brings into
question the validity of the Principal Lease or which, if determined adversely to any party, might
result in any adverse change to estates demised under the Principal Lease, (iv) the only real
property presently demised under the Principal Lease is the Land and Improvements, and, to such
person’s knowledge, the only person or entity presently having an interest in the Principal Lease
as tenant under the Principal Lease is Principal Tenant and (v) neither the execution and delivery
of this Mortgage, nor any modification thereof or assignment of the beneficial interests
thereunder, constitutes a default under the Principal Lease.
(rr) Financial Condition of Borrower. Borrower is solvent.
(ss) Leasing. Borrower agrees that, upon the execution of any Lease approved or
deemed approved in accordance with Section 1.10 of this Mortgage, Borrower shall timely perform all
build-out, construction, tenant improvement work and other work required to be performed by
Borrower under such Lease (the foregoing, “Tenant Improvements”) and timely pay as and when
due any and all commissions to brokers in connection with such Lease (“Leasing
Commissions”; Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions collectively are hereinafter referred
to as “Leasing Costs”). Borrower shall perform all Tenant Improvements in a good and
workmanlike manner, in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations, and each case in a
manner satisfactory to Lender and as necessary to maintain the Property in good condition and in
compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.
1.2 Defense of Title. If, while this Mortgage is in force, the title to the Property
or the interest of Lender therein shall be the subject, directly or indirectly, of any action at
law or in equity, or be attached directly or indirectly, or endangered, clouded or adversely
affected in any manner, Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, shall take all necessary and proper steps
for the defense of said title or
-11-
interest, including the employment of counsel approved by Lender (it being agreed that Lender
shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to counsel appointed pursuant to the Title Insurance
Policy for such purposes), the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or
discharge of claims made against said title or interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that Lender determines that Borrower is not adequately performing its obligations under this
Section, Lender may, without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies of Lender hereunder,
take such steps with respect thereto as Lender shall deem necessary or proper; any and all third
party out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by Lender in
connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, shall be
immediately paid by Borrower on demand.
1.3 Performance of Obligations. Borrower shall pay when due the principal of and the
interest on and other amounts evidenced by the Note. Borrower shall also pay and perform all of
the Obligations as and when due. Further, Borrower shall promptly and strictly perform and comply
with all covenants, conditions, obligations and prohibitions required of Borrower in connection
with any other document or instrument affecting title to the Property (to the extent that any
failure to comply with such documents or instruments shall endanger, cloud or adversely affect
title to the Property in any manner as determined by Lender in its discretion), or any part
thereof, regardless of whether such document or instrument is superior or subordinate to this
Mortgage.
1.4 Insurance. Borrower shall at no cost or expense to Lender, maintain, or cause to
be maintained, in force and effect on the Property at all times while this Mortgage continues in
effect the following insurance.
(a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Property by fire, windstorm, tornado and hail and
against loss and damage by such other, further and additional risks as may be now or hereafter
embraced by an “all-risk” form of insurance policy. The amount of such insurance shall be not less
than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement (insurable) cost of the Improvements,
furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment and other items (whether personalty or fixtures)
included in the Property and owned by Borrower from time to time, without reduction for
depreciation. The determination of the replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to
comply with the requirements of the insurer issuing such coverage or, at Lender’s election, by
reference to such indices, appraisals or information as Lender determines in its reasonable
discretion. Full replacement cost, as used herein, means, with respect to the Improvements, the
cost of replacing the Improvements without regard to deduction for depreciation, exclusive of the
cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor, and means, with
respect to such furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment and other items, the cost of replacing
the same, in each case, with inflation guard coverage to reflect the effect of inflation, or annual
valuation. Each policy or policies shall contain a replacement cost endorsement and either an
agreed amount endorsement (to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions) or a waiver of
any co-insurance provisions, all subject to Lender’s approval. The deductible with respect to such
insurance shall not exceed $10,000.00 per claim.
(b) Comprehensive Commercial General Liability Insurance for personal injury, bodily injury,
death and property damage liability in amounts not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and
$2,000,000.00 in the aggregate, together with umbrella coverage in amounts not less than
$5,000,000.00. During any construction on the Property by Borrower or Principal Tenant, Borrower’s
(or Principal Tenant’s) general contractor for such construction shall also provide the insurance
required in this Subsection (b). Lender hereby retains the right to periodically review
the amount of said liability insurance being maintained by Borrower and to require an increase in
the amount of said liability insurance should Lender deem an increase to be reasonably prudent
under then existing circumstances. No deductible shall be permitted with respect to such
insurance.
-12-
(c) General boiler and machinery insurance coverage is required if steam boilers or other
pressure-fired vessels are in operation at the Property. Minimum liability amount per accident
must equal the lesser of the replacement (insurable) value of the Improvements housing such boiler
or pressure-fired machinery or $2,000,000.00. The deductible with respect to such insurance shall
not exceed $10,000.00 per claim.
(d) If the Property or any part thereof is identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development as being situated in an area now or subsequently designated as having special flood
hazards (including, without limitation, those areas designated as Zone A or Zone V), flood
insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of
coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or the unpaid balance of the
Obligations if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured); or
(ii) the maximum insurance available under the appropriate National Flood Insurance Administration
program. The deductible with respect to such insurance shall not exceed $25,000.00 per occurrence.
(e) During the period of any construction on the Property or renovation or alteration of the
Improvements, a so-called “Builder’s All-Risk Completed Value” or “Course of Construction”
insurance policy in non-reporting form for any Improvements under construction, renovation or
alteration in an amount approved by Lender and Worker’s Compensation Insurance covering all persons
engaged in such construction, renovation or alteration. The deductible for such insurance, if any,
shall be satisfactory to Lender.
(f) Loss of rents or loss of business income insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate
Borrower for all Rents and Profits following a casualty until completion of Restoration (as defined
in Section 1.7 below) together with an additional period of not less than twelve (12) months
thereafter. The amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the then-current Rents
and Profits or income payable during such period. The deductible for such insurance, if any, shall
be satisfactory to Lender.
(g) Such other insurance on the Property or on any replacements or substitutions thereof or
additions thereto as may from time to time be required by Lender against other insurable hazards or
casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of property similarly
situated including, without limitation, Sinkhole, Mine Subsidence, Terrorism, Earthquake and
Environmental insurance, due regard being given to the height and type of buildings, their
construction, location, use and occupancy.
All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers authorized to do business in the state within
which the Property is located and who have and maintain a rating of at least “A-” from Standard &
Poors except that Lender has approved Affiliated FM Insurance Company as the issuer of the
insurance described in Section 1.4(a) above, which insurer has, and shall maintain, a rating of at
least “A+:XV” from A.M. Best Company (or, alternatively, if the insurers maintain re-insurance with
re-insurers maintaining such rating, Lender will not unreasonably withhold its consent to
satisfying such required rating by means of a “cut-through” endorsement allowing recourse directly
against a reinsurer maintaining such rating), (ii) contain the complete address of the Property (or
a complete legal description), (iii) be for terms of at least one year, and (iv) be subject to the
approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, content, forms of policies, method by which
premiums are paid and expiration dates.
Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence that said insurance policies have been paid current
as of the date hereof and original certificates of insurance signed by an authorized agent of the
applicable insurance companies evidencing such insurance satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall
renew
-13-
(or cause to be renewed) all such insurance and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Lender
certificates evidencing such renewals at least thirty (30) days before any such insurance shall
expire. Without limiting the required endorsements to the insurance policies, Borrower further
agrees that all such policies shall include a standard, non-contributory, mortgagee clause naming:
CIBC Inc., its successors and/or assigns, as their interests may appear
Attn: Real Estate Finance Group
000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000
Attn: Real Estate Finance Group
000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000
(x) as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies, (y) as the first mortgagee on
all property insurance policies and (z) as the loss payee on all loss of rents or loss of business
income insurance policies. Borrower further agrees that all such insurance policies: (1) shall
provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender prior to any cancellation or
termination thereof and prior to any modification thereof which affects the interest of Lender; (2)
shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to Lender
in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which
might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance; (3) shall waive all rights of subrogation
against Lender; (4) in the event that the Real Estate or the Improvements constitutes a legal
non-conforming use under applicable building, zoning or land use laws or ordinances, shall include
an ordinance or law coverage endorsement which will contain Coverage A: “Loss Due to Operation of
Law” (with a minimum liability limit equal to Replacement Cost With Agreed Value Endorsement),
Coverage B: “Demolition Cost” and Coverage C: “Increased Cost of Construction” coverages; and (5)
may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that, in the event that any such coverage is
provided in the form of a blanket policy, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that failure to
pay any portion of the premium therefor which is not allocable to the Property or by any other
action not relating to the Property which would otherwise permit the issuer thereof to cancel the
coverage thereof, would require the Property to be insured by a separate, single-property policy.
The blanket policy must properly identify and fully protect the Property as if a separate policy
were issued for 100% of Replacement Cost at the time of loss and otherwise meet all of Lender’s
applicable insurance requirements set forth in this Section 1.4. In the event of foreclosure of
this Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of
the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all unearned insurance
premiums and proceeds payable under such policies then in force concerning the Property shall
thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, or in Lender or other transferee in the event
of such other transfer of title whether or not the damage to the Property occurred prior to such
transfer of title. Approval of any insurance by Lender shall not be a representation of the
solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance. In the event Borrower fails
to, or fails to cause Tenant to, provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Lender
the policies of insurance required by this Mortgage or evidence of their renewal as required
herein, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and Borrower shall pay
all amounts advanced by Lender therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest
Rate from and after the date advanced by Lender until actually repaid by Borrower, promptly upon
demand by Lender. Lender shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the insolvency of
the insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform, even though Lender has caused the insurance
to be placed with the insurer after failure of Borrower to furnish (or cause to be furnished) such
insurance. Borrower shall not obtain insurance for the Property in addition to that required by
Lender without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld
provided that (i) Lender is a named insured on such insurance, (ii) Lender receives complete copies
of all policies evidencing such insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the
applicable requirements set forth herein. To the extent
that at any time Lender agrees to accept
insurance from an insurer that is rated less than the foregoing, Lender may terminate its waiver
and reassert the aforesaid minimum rating requirements upon any renewal of any insurance coverage,
or at any time if the rating of any insurer is reduced.
-14-
1.5 Payment of Taxes. Except to the extent funds are held in the Impound Account
therefor pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Mortgage, Borrower shall (a) pay or cause to be paid all
taxes, assessments, water rents, sewer rents, governmental impositions and other charges,
including, without limitation, vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and
similar areas adjoining the Real Estate, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against, or
which are or may become a lien upon, the Property (“Taxes”), and all ground rents,
maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the
Property or any part thereof (the “Other Charges”) when the same become due and payable,
and (b) furnish Lender with receipts (or if receipts are not immediately available, with copies of
canceled checks evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after they become available)
showing payment of such Taxes and Other Charges at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable
delinquency date therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may in good faith, by
appropriate proceedings and upon notice to Lender, contest the validity, applicability or amount of
any asserted Taxes or Other Charges so long as (x) such contest is diligently pursued, (y) Lender
determines, in its subjective opinion, that such contest suspends the obligation to pay the Taxes
or Other Charges and that nonpayment of such Taxes or Other Charges will not result in the sale,
loss, forfeiture or diminution of the Property or any part thereof or any interest of Lender
therein, and (z) prior to the earlier of the commencement of such contest or the delinquency date
of the asserted Taxes or Other Charges, Borrower deposits, or causes to be deposited, adequate
security as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or if not required by such court, in
the Impound Account an amount determined by Lender to be adequate to cover the payment of such
Taxes or Other Charges and a reasonable additional sum to cover possible interest, costs and
penalties; provided, however, that Borrower shall promptly cause to be paid any
amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all interest, costs and
penalties thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; and provided,
further, that in any event each such contest shall be concluded, the Taxes or Other
Charges, as the case may be, together with any applicable interest, costs and penalties, shall be
paid prior to the date any writ or order is issued under which the Property may be sold, lost or
forfeited.
1.6 Tax and Insurance Impound Account. (a) Subject to Section 1.6(b) below, Borrower
shall establish and maintain with Lender at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect an
impound account (the “Impound Account”) for payment of Taxes and Other Charges and for the premiums
on the insurance required to be maintained with respect to Borrower and the Property (“Insurance
Premiums”) and as additional security for the Obligations. In addition to the initial deposit to
the Impound Account required simultaneously with the execution hereof, commencing on the first
Payment Date (as defined in the Note) and continuing thereafter on each Payment Date until the Note
and all other Obligations are fully paid and performed, Borrower shall pay to Lender, or cause to
be paid to Lender, for deposit to the Impound Account, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the
amount of the annual Taxes and Other Charges that will next become due and payable on the Property,
plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual Insurance Premiums that will next become due
and payable, each as estimated and determined by Lender. So long as no Event of Default (as
defined in Section 2.1 hereunder) has occurred and is continuing, all sums in the Impound Account
shall be held by Lender in the Impound Account to pay said Taxes and Other Charges, in periodic
installments, and Insurance Premiums in one annual installment, in each case, before the same
become delinquent. Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Lender, at least
thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and
statements for all Taxes and Other Charges, and all Insurance Premiums, and so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall pay the governmental authority or other party
entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound
Account. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Lender shall be entitled to rely on any
xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or
agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate and without any
inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment,
valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. The Impound Account shall not,
unless otherwise
-15-
explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at
Lender’s option and in Lender’s discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be
commingled by Lender with the general funds of Lender. No interest on the funds contained in the
Impound Account shall be paid by Lender to Borrower. The Impound Account is solely for the
protection of Lender and entails no responsibility on Lender’s part beyond the payment of Taxes and
Other Charges, and of Insurance Premiums, following receipt of bills, invoices or statements
therefor in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums
actually received. Upon assignment of this Mortgage by Lender, any funds in the Impound Account
shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender, as assignor, with respect to
such funds shall terminate. If the total funds in the Impound Account are reasonably determined by
Lender to be in excess of the amount of payments required by Lender for the purposes of the Impound
Account, such excess may be credited by Lender on the subsequent payment to be made hereunder or,
if such excess is greater than the amounts due from Borrower to Lender in the month following such
determination (and if no Event of Default is then continuing and no event has occurred, and no
state of facts exists, which in either case would, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of
time, constitute an Event of Default (any such event or state of facts, a “Default”) is then
continuing), refunded to Borrower. If at any time Lender determines that, with the making of all
monthly deposits to the Impound Account when due, the Impound Account nonetheless would not contain
sufficient funds to pay the next due periodic installments of all Taxes and Other Charges at least
30 days prior to the delinquency date thereof, or to pay the next due annual Insurance Premiums at
least 30 days prior to the due date thereof, Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of
written notice thereof, deposit with Lender the full amount of any such deficiency. If the
Borrower shall fail to deposit with Lender the full amount of such deficiency as provided above,
Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make such deposit and all amounts so
deposited by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date
incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on
demand. At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but shall not be
obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in the Impound Account against the
Obligations in whatever order Lender shall subjectively determine. No such application of the
Impound Account shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default hereunder, and any such
application shall not limit Borrower’s obligation to deposit any deficiency of which Lender gives
notice. Upon full payment of the Obligations in accordance with its terms or at such earlier time
as Lender may elect, the balance of the Impound Account then in Lender’s possession shall be paid
over to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.6(a) to the contrary, provided and on
condition that each and all of the Tax and Insurance Conditions Precedent (as hereinafter defined)
are satisfied and remain satisfied at all times, Borrower shall not be required to fund the Impound
Account on account of Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance Premiums as provided herein. If at any
time any or all of the Tax and Insurance Conditions Precedent are no longer met to the satisfaction
of Lender, Borrower shall immediately begin and shall continue to fund the Impound Account on
account of Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance Premiums as provided herein. The “Tax and
Insurance Conditions Precedent” means the following conditions precedent: (i) no Event of
Default exists, (ii) no default has occurred and is continuing under the Principal Lease, (iii)
tenant under the Principal Lease is obligated to pay all Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance
Premiums under the Principal Lease, (iv) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and Other
Charges and Insurance Premiums to be paid as required under Sections 1.4 and 1.5 of this
Mortgage and (v) Borrower shall furnish Lender with receipts (or if receipts are not immediately
available, with copies of canceled checks evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after
they become available) showing payment of such Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance Premiums at
least fifteen (15) days prior to the respective applicable delinquency date therefor.
1.7 Condemnation and Casualty. Borrower shall give Lender prompt written notice of
the occurrence of any casualty (other than a de minimus casualty) affecting, or the institution of
any
-16-
proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of, the Property or any portion
thereof. All insurance proceeds on the Property, and all causes of action, claims, compensation,
awards and recoveries for any damage, condemnation or taking of all or any part of the Property or
for any damage or injury to it for any loss or diminution in value of the Property, are hereby
assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. Lender may participate in any suits or proceedings
relating to any such proceeds, causes of action, claims, compensation, awards or recoveries and
Lender is hereby authorized, in its own name or in Borrower’s name, to adjust any loss covered by
insurance or any condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or
cause of action in connection therewith, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender any
instruments required to permit such participation; provided, however, that
so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall not participate in the adjustment of,
and Borrower shall have the right to directly receive proceeds with respect to, any loss which is
not in excess of the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding principal balance of
the Note and (ii) $500,000.00. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, Lender may, at
Lender’s option, (y) hold the balance of any of such proceeds to be used to reimburse Borrower for
the cost of restoring and repairing the Property to the equivalent of its condition immediately
prior to the casualty or, in the case of condemnation, to a condition approved by Lender (the
“Restoration”), and require Borrower to restore the Property to the equivalent of its original
condition or to a condition approved by Lender, or (z) apply the balance of such proceeds to the
payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due. To the extent Lender, in accordance with the
terms hereof, determines to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds to Restoration, Lender shall
do so in accordance with Lender’s then-current policies relating to the, as applicable, restoration
of casualty damage on similar properties or restoration or rebuilding of properties that have been
the subject of a partial condemnation. Lender shall not exercise its option to apply insurance
proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the payment of the Obligations if all of the following
conditions are met: (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (2) in the
case of casualty, less than forty percent (40%) of the Improvements have been damaged, or in the
case of a taking, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Improvements have been taken; (3)
Lender determines, in its discretion, that there will be sufficient funds to complete the
Restoration (including, without limitation, by means of a deposit of any shortfall by Borrower with
Lender prior to the commencement of the Restoration or promptly upon Lender’s determination that
such a shortfall exists); (4) Lender determines, in its discretion, that the rental income from the
Property after completion of the Restoration will be sufficient to meet all operating costs and
other expenses, deposits to the Impound Account, deposits to reserves and loan repayment
obligations relating to the Property and that the debt service coverage ratio for the Property
after Restoration will be the same as on the closing date of the Loan and the ratio of the loan to
value after Restoration will be the same as on the closing date of the Loan; (5) Lender determines,
in its discretion, that (A) the Restoration will be completed before the earlier of (i) one year
before the Maturity Date of the Note or (ii) one year after the date of the loss or casualty and
(B) the rent loss insurance or business interruption insurance referenced in Section 1.4(f) above
will cover all payments due under the Loan during the completion of the
Restoration; (6) upon
Lender’s request, Borrower provides Lender evidence of the availability during and after the
Restoration of the insurance required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 1.4; (7)
Borrower provides Lender with written notice within five business (5) days after settlement of the
aforesaid insurance or condemnation claim of its request to undertake a Restoration; and (8) the
Principal Lease is in full force and effect, the tenant under the Principal Lease does not have the
right to terminate the Principal Lease due to such casualty or taking (as the case may be), or the
tenant under the Principal Lease affirms in writing that it has waived any right to terminate the
Principal Lease as a result of such casualty or taking (as the case may be).
Except as provided in the Note any application of any awards or proceeds to the Obligations
shall not extend or postpone the due date of any monthly installments referred to in the Note or
the Loan Documents or change the amount of such installments. Borrower agrees to execute such
further evidence of assignment of any awards or proceeds as Lender may require. Any reduction in
the Obligations resulting from Lender’s application of any sums received by it hereunder shall take
effect only when
-17-
Lender actually receives such sums and elects to apply such sums to the Obligations and, in
any event, the unpaid portion of the Obligations shall remain in full force and effect and Borrower
shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Except as provided in the Note, partial payments
received by Lender, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be applied first to the final
payment due under the Note and thereafter to installments due under the Note in the inverse order
of their due date. If Borrower elects to effect a Restoration, Borrower shall promptly and
diligently, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds or
condemnation award, as appropriate, shall be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace
and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately
prior to such casualty or partial taking in accordance with the foregoing provisions and Borrower
shall pay to Lender all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in administering said rebuilding,
restoration or repair, provided the Lender makes such proceeds or award available for such purpose.
Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as may be
requested by Lender to confirm the foregoing assignment to Lender of any award, damage, insurance
proceeds, payment or other compensation. Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 1.7,
Lender is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of Borrower (which
power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any Obligations is outstanding, shall be deemed
coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower and
shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date
hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this section, to settle for,
collect and receive any such awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation
from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings
therefor and to give receipts and acquittances therefor.
1.8 Mechanics’ Liens. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid when due all claims and
demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or materials
delivered for the Real Estate or Improvements; provided, however, that, Borrower
shall have the right to contest in good faith any such claim or demand, so long as it does so
diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Lender, and provided that neither
the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a
result of such proceeding or contest. In the event Borrower shall contest any such claim or
demand, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such contest and thereafter shall, upon Lender’s
request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other security satisfactory to Lender to protect
Lender’s interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful. If Borrower shall fail to
immediately discharge or provide security against any such claim or demand as aforesaid, Lender may
do so and any and all expenses incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default
Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be
immediately paid by Borrower on demand.
1.9 Assignment of Leases and Rents and Profits. As additional and collateral security
for the payment of the Obligations and cumulative of any and all rights and remedies herein
provided for, Borrower hereby absolutely and presently assigns to Lender all existing and future
Leases, and all existing and future Rents and Profits. Borrower hereby grants to Lender the sole,
exclusive and immediate right, without taking possession of the Property, to demand, collect (by
suit or otherwise), receive and give valid and sufficient receipts for any and all of said Rents
and Profits, for which purpose Borrower does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint Lender
its attorney-in-fact with full power to appoint substitutes or a trustee to accomplish such purpose
(which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any Obligations is outstanding, shall be
deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of
Borrower and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent
to the date hereof). Lender shall be without liability for any loss that may arise from a failure
or inability to collect Rents and Profits, proceeds or other payments except for loss that arises
solely and directly from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. However, so long as an
Event of Default is not continuing under this Mortgage, Borrower
-18-
shall have a license to collect and receive the Rents and Profits when due and prepayments
thereof for not more than one month prior to due date thereof. During the continuance of an Event
of Default, Borrower’s license shall automatically terminate without notice to Borrower and Lender
may thereafter, without taking possession of the Property, collect the Rents and Profits itself or
by an agent or receiver. From and after the termination of such license, Borrower shall be the
agent of Lender in collection of the Rents and Profits and all of the Rents and Profits so
collected by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for the sole and exclusive benefit of
Lender and Borrower shall, within one (1) business day after receipt of any Rents and Profits, pay
the same to Lender to be applied by Lender as hereinafter set forth. Borrower hereby irrevocably
agrees that any Tenant paying Rents and Profits as directed by Lender shall be deemed to have paid
such amount in satisfaction of its obligation under such Tenant’s Lease, and each Tenant may rely
on such agreement by Borrower. Neither the demand for or collection of Rents and Profits by
Lender, nor the exercise of Lender’s rights as assignee of the Leases, shall constitute any
assumption by Lender of any obligations under any Lease or other agreement relating thereto.
Lender is obligated to account only for such Rents and Profits as are actually collected or
received by Lender. Borrower irrevocably agrees and consents that the respective payors of the
Rents and Profits shall, upon demand and notice from Lender of an Event of Default hereunder, pay
said Rents and Profits to Lender without liability to determine the actual existence of any Event
of Default claimed by Lender. Borrower hereby waives any right, claim or demand which Borrower may
now or hereafter have against any such payor by reason of such payment of Rents and Profits to
Lender, and any such payment shall discharge such payor’s obligation to make such payment to
Borrower. All Rents and Profits collected or received by Lender shall be applied against all third
party out of pocket expenses of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees, against third party out of pocket costs of operation and management of the Property and
against the Obligations, in whatever order or priority as to any of the items so mentioned as
Lender directs in its sole subjective discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its
security. Neither the exercise by Lender of any rights under this Section nor the application of
any Rents and Profits to the Obligations shall cure or be deemed a waiver of any Default or Event
of Default hereunder. The assignment of Leases and of Rents and Profits hereinabove granted shall
continue in full force and effect during any period of foreclosure or redemption with respect to
the Property.
1.10 Leases.
(a) Entering Into Leases. Borrower will not enter into, modify, amend, consent to the
cancellation of or terminate any Lease (including, without limitation, the Principal Lease),
whether now existing or hereafter entered into, without the prior written consent of Lender which
consent may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.
(b) Covenants Regarding Leases. Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the
obligations imposed upon the lessor under each Lease in all material respects, and shall not do or
permit to be done anything to impair the value of any Lease as security for the Obligations; (ii)
upon request (which request is hereby deemed given with respect to any “Major Lease”, as defined
below), shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower shall send or
receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions
contained in each Lease upon the part of the Tenant thereunder to be observed or performed, (iv)
shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (it being acknowledged that
security deposits shall not be deemed Rents collected in advance); (v) shall not execute any other
assignment of the lessor’s interest in any of the Leases or the Rents and Profits (other than to
Lender as security for the Obligations); and (vi) shall not consent to any assignment of or
subletting under any Lease not in accordance with the terms of such Lease, in each case without the
prior written consent of Lender. Within 30 days after Lender’s request therefor (which request
shall not be made more than the lesser of twice in any calendar year absent an Event of Default or
the maximum number of estoppel certificates the Tenant under the Lease is required
-19-
to provide), Borrower shall deliver to Lender an estoppel certificate from each Tenant to the
extent Borrower can require Tenant to deliver such estoppel certificates.
(c) Amendments to Leases. Borrower shall not, without the consent of Lender, amend,
modify or waive the provisions of any Lease or terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of
space under, or shorten the term of, any Lease, sublease or sub-sublease (including any guaranty,
letter of credit or other credit support with respect thereto) (the foregoing, collectively, a
“Lease Modification”).
(d) Security Deposits. All security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash or in
any other form, shall be held in compliance with applicable law. None of such security deposits
shall be commingled with any other funds of Borrower or any other person. Any bond or other
instrument which Borrower is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any
applicable legal requirements shall be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount of
such deposits unless replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove described; shall be issued by an
institution reasonably satisfactory to Lender; shall, if permitted pursuant to any applicable legal
requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder or, at Lender’s option, be assigned or
fully assignable to Lender; and shall, in all respects, comply with any applicable legal
requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall, upon request,
provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s compliance with the
foregoing. Upon an Event of Default under this Mortgage, Borrower shall, immediately upon Lender’s
request (if permitted by applicable law), deliver to Lender the security deposits (and any interest
previously earned thereon and not disbursed to the person(s) lawfully entitled to receive same)
with respect to all or any portion of the Property, to be held by Lender subject to the terms of
the Leases.
(e) Tenant Financial Information. Borrower shall cause each Lease entered into on or
after the date hereof to require the Tenant under such Lease to deliver to Borrower periodic
operating statements with respect to (i) such Tenant’s operations at the Property, and (ii) the
operations of such Tenant and, if applicable, any parent or affiliated entity of such Tenant which
operates, or has subsidiaries that operate, comparable businesses (collectively, “Tenant
Financial Information”). Borrower shall, from time to time promptly upon request of Lender, to
the extent permitted under the applicable Lease, request Tenant Financial Information from the
Tenant and promptly upon receipt thereof, deliver such Tenant Financial Information to Lender,
provided, however, that (1) prior to a Secondary Market Transaction consisting of a securitization,
Lender shall not require Borrower to request Tenant Financial Information more than three (3)
times, and (2) following a Secondary Market Transaction consisting of a securitization, provided no
Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall not request such information without reasonable cause
(which reasonable cause shall include, without limitation, the occurrence of any default by a
Tenant or if such Tenant ceases to conduct its business in the premises demised by such Principal
Lease).
1.11 Alienation and Further Encumbrances.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.6 hereof, neither the
Property, nor any part thereof or interest therein (including without limitation, any fee,
leasehold or subleasehold interest therein), shall be sold, conveyed, disposed of, alienated,
hypothecated, leased (except to Tenants under Leases which are not in violation of Section 1.10
hereof), assigned, pledged, mortgaged, further encumbered or otherwise transferred, nor shall
Borrower be divested of its title to the Property or any interest therein, in any manner or way,
whether voluntarily or involuntarily (any of the foregoing, a “Transfer”), except as
expressly set forth in this Section 1.11, in each case without the prior written consent of Lender
being first obtained, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion. For the purposes
of this Section 1.11, a “Transfer” shall also include (i) transfers of direct or
-20-
indirect ownership interests in Borrower, and the creation of new or additional ownership
interests in Borrower, or in any Constituent Entity of Borrower, in each case except as set forth
in Section 1.11(c) below, (ii) an installment sales agreement with respect to the Property or any
portion thereof, (iii) a Lease of all or substantially all of the Property other than for actual
occupancy by a space tenant thereunder, (iv) any sale or assignment of any of Borrower’s right,
title and interest in, to and under any Leases or Rents and Profits, other than to Lender, (v) if
Borrower or any Constituent Entity of Borrower is a partnership or joint venture, the addition,
change, removal or resignation of any general partner, or the transfer or pledge of any interest
(whether as a general partner or limited partner) of any general partner in such partnership, and
(vi) if Borrower or any Constituent Entity of Borrower is a limited liability company, the
addition, change, removal or resignation of any manager or managing member, or the transfer or
pledge of any interest (whether as a managing member or otherwise) of such manager or managing
member in such limited liability company, or the transfer of control (as defined in Section 1.27)
of such manager or managing member.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Lender shall not unreasonably
withhold its consent to the sale of the Property in its entirety (hereinafter, “Sale”) to a
single-purpose entity with organizational documents containing provisions substantially similar to
those set forth in Section 1.27 and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender (hereinafter,
“Buyer”) provided that such Sale occurs after the earlier to occur of a Secondary Market
Transaction (as defined herein) and the second (2nd) anniversary of the date hereof, and
each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied in connection with such Sale:
(1) No Default or Event of Default is then continuing;
(2) Borrower gives Lender written notice of the terms of such prospective Sale not less than
thirty (30) days before the date on which such Sale is scheduled to close, accompanied by all
information concerning the proposed Buyer as Lender would require in evaluating an initial
extension of credit to a borrower and a non-refundable application fee in the amount of $2,500.00.
Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed Buyer in its reasonable
discretion (it being acknowledged that Lender may, as a condition to approving any proposed Buyer,
require confirmation in writing from each of the Rating Agencies (as defined herein) that such Sale
will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating in effect immediately
prior to such Sale for any securities issued in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction),
and such approval, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem
appropriate;
(3) Borrower pays Lender, concurrently with the closing of such Sale, a non-refundable
assumption fee in an amount equal to all third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the Sale plus
an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note;
(4) Buyer assumes and agrees to pay the Obligations (subject to the provisions of Section 5.25
hereof) and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such Sale, the Buyer executes, without
any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to
evidence and effectuate said assumption and delivers such legal opinions as Lender may require;
(5) Borrower and the Buyer execute and cause to be filed in such public records as Lender
deems appropriate, without any cost or expense to Lender, new financing statements or financing
statement amendments and any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;
-21-
(6) Borrower causes to be delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, such
endorsements to Lender’s title insurance policy, hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and
other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the Sale, all in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, an endorsement or endorsements to
Lender’s title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Mortgage, extending the effective date of
such policy to the date of execution and delivery (or, if later, of recording) of the assumption
agreement referenced above in subparagraph (4) of this Section, with no additional exceptions added
to such policy and insuring that fee simple title to the Real Estate Property is vested in the
Buyer (or a new mortgagee policy providing substantially similar coverage as the Lender’s title
insurance policy endorsed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph);
(7) Borrower executes and delivers to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, a release
of Lender, its officers, directors, employees and agents, from all claims and liability relating to
the transactions evidenced by the Loan Documents through and including the date of the closing of
the Sale, which agreement shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and shall be
binding upon the Buyer;
(8) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.25 hereof, such Sale is not construed so as to
relieve Borrower of any personal liability under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for
any acts or events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of
such Sale and Borrower executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and
agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate the ratification of said
personal liability. Borrower shall be released from and relieved of any personal liability under
the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising
after the closing of such Sale; and
(9) Such Sale is not construed so as to relieve any Indemnitor of its obligations under any
Loan Document, and a Constituent Entity of the Buyer approved by Lender in its sole discretion (a
“Successor Indemnitor”) assumes the obligations of such Indemnitor and executes such
documents as may be required by Lender to evidence such assumption. Each Indemnitor shall be
released from and relieved of any of its obligations under any indemnity or guaranty executed in
connection with the Loan for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising after the closing
of such Sale;
(10) Buyer has furnished to Lender all appropriate papers evidencing the Buyer’s capacity and
good standing, and the authority of the signers to execute the assumption of the Loan Documents and
the Obligations, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the
organization and formation of the Buyer and of the entities, if any, which are Constituent Entities
of the Buyer, all of which shall be satisfactory to Lender;
(11) Buyer shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any management agreements pertaining
to the Property, or shall cause the new manager and management agreement to satisfy the
requirements of Section 1.24 hereof; and
(12) Buyer shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender that the acquisition of
the Property and the assumption of the Loan Documents and Obligations by Buyer and, to the extent
applicable, Successor Indemnitor, was validly authorized, and duly executed and delivered, and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Buyer and Successor Indemnitor, enforceable
against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and with respect to such other
matters as Lender may reasonably require.
-22-
(c) Subject to Section 1.11(c)(1)(b), provided no Default shall then be continuing, the
following direct or indirect transfers of interests in Borrower, or any Constituent Entity of
Borrower, shall be permitted without the prior written consent of Lender:
(1) If (a) Borrower (or any Constituent Entity of Borrower) is a corporation, any direct or
indirect transfer of stock in such corporation, or the issuance of new stock in such corporation,
which does not result in a change of control (as defined under Rule 405 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended) of such corporation; or (b) Borrower (or any Constituent Entity of Borrower, or
any general partner or managing member of Borrower) is a Publicly-Held Corporation (as defined
below), any direct or indirect transfer of stock in such corporation, or the issuance of new stock
in such corporation, regardless of whether a Default shall then be continuing. As used herein, the
term “Publicly-Held Corporation” means a corporation the outstanding voting stock of which
is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;
(2) If Borrower (or any Constituent Entity of Borrower) is a limited partnership, any direct
or indirect transfer of limited partnership interests in such limited partnership, or the issuance
of new limited partnership interests which results in the dilution of the existing limited
partners, so that after giving effect to such transfer or issuance, (x) not more than 49% of the
equity interests in such partnership have been transferred or issued from and after the date hereof
and (y) the persons responsible for the management of the Borrower and the Property remain
unchanged;
(3) If Borrower (or any Constituent Entity of Borrower) is a limited liability company, any
direct or indirect transfer of membership interests in Borrower, or the issuance of new membership
interests which results in the dilution of the existing members, so that after giving effect to
such transfer or issuance, (x) not more than 49% of the equity interests in such limited liability
company have been transferred or issued from and after the date hereof and (y) the persons
responsible for the management of the Borrower and the Property remain unchanged; and
(4) Either (a) any transfer for estate planning purposes by the Indemnitor, or (b) any
involuntary transfer caused by the death of a holder of ownership interests in Borrower, or in any
general partner or managing member of Borrower, in each case so long as (y) Borrower is
reconstituted, if required, following any such death and (z) either (i) those persons responsible
for the management of the Borrower and the Property remain unchanged as a result of such death or
estate planning or (ii) the person(s) to become responsible for management of the Borrower and the
Property are approved by Lender.
Borrower shall give Lender (i) prior written notice of any event set forth in Subparagraphs (1)(a),
(2) or (3) above, and (ii) prompt written notice after any event giving rise to a transfer set
forth in Subparagraph (4) above, in each case together with copies of all documents, instruments
and agreements effecting such transfer, all of which shall be certified by Borrower to be true,
correct and complete.
1.12 Payment of Utilities, Assessments, Charges, Etc. Borrower shall pay, or cause to
be paid, when due all utility charges (e.g., for gas, electricity, water and sewer services and
similar charges) which are incurred by Borrower or its agents, and all other assessments or charges
of a similar nature, or assessments payable pursuant to any restrictive covenants, whether public
or private, affecting the Real Estate and/or the Improvements or any portion thereof, whether or
not such assessments or charges are or may become liens thereon.
1.13 Access Privileges and Inspections. Lender and the agents, representatives and
employees of Lender shall, subject to the rights of tenants, have full and free access to the Real
Estate and the Improvements and any other location where books and records concerning the Property
are kept at all
-23-
reasonable times and on reasonable prior notice for the purposes of inspecting the Property
and of examining, copying and making extracts from the books and records of Borrower relating to
the Property. Borrower shall lend assistance to all such agents, representatives and employees of
Lender.
1.14 Waste; Alteration of Improvements. Borrower shall not commit, suffer or permit
any physical waste on the Property nor take any actions that might invalidate any insurance carried
on the Property. Borrower shall maintain or cause to be maintained the Property in good condition
and repair. No part of the Improvements may be removed, demolished or materially altered, in each
case, without the prior written consent of Lender, except as required pursuant to Applicable Laws
or the Leases. Without the prior written consent of Lender in each case (or as expressly required
under the Leases), Borrower shall not commence construction of any improvements on the Real Estate
other than improvements required for the maintenance or repair of the Property.
1.15 Zoning. Without the prior written consent of Lender in each case, Borrower shall
not seek, make, suffer, consent to or acquiesce in any change in the zoning or conditions of use of
the Real Estate or the Improvements. If, under applicable zoning provisions, the use of all or any
part of the Real Estate or the Improvements is or becomes a nonconforming use, Borrower shall not
cause or permit such use to be discontinued or abandoned without the prior written consent of
Lender. Without Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not file or subject any part of the
Real Estate or the Improvements to any declaration of condominium or co-operative or convert any
part of the Real Estate or the Improvements to a condominium, co-operative or other form of
multiple ownership and governance.
1.16 Financial Statements, Books and Records, and Informational Reporting. Borrower
shall keep accurate books and records of account of the Property and its own financial affairs
sufficient to permit the preparation of financial statements therefrom in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Lender and its duly authorized representatives shall have the
right to examine, copy and audit Borrower’s records and books of account at all reasonable times
upon reasonable prior written notice. So long as this Mortgage continues in effect, Borrower shall
provide to Lender, in addition to any other financial statements required hereunder or under any of
the other Loan Documents, the following financial statements and information, all of which must be
certified to Lender as being true and correct by Borrower or the person or entity to which they
pertain, as applicable, be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied and be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender:
(a) upon request by Lender, copies of all tax returns filed by Indemnitor (which tax return
shall include Borrower), within thirty (30) days after the date of filing;
(b) monthly operating statements for the Property (including a current Rent Roll containing
the information set forth in Paragraph 1.1(ee) above), within fifteen (15) days after the end of
each month during the first twelve (12) months of the term of the Loan or until the occurrence of a
Secondary Market Transaction, whichever first occurs, and (ii) during any period when Borrower is
required to make payments of net cash flow to any Reserve;
(c) quarterly operating statements for the Property, within thirty (30) days after the end of
each calendar quarter;
(d) annual financial statements for Borrower (setting forth Borrower’s balance sheet and
operating statements for the Property) and each Indemnitor, within ninety (90) days after the end
of each calendar year;
-24-
(e) a current Rent Roll, containing the information set forth in Paragraph 1.1(ee) above,
dated as of January 1 of each calendar year and certified by Borrower as being true, correct and
complete, which shall be delivered to Lender on or before January 15 of each year; and
(f) such other information with respect to the Property, Borrower, the principals in Borrower,
and each Indemnitor which may reasonably be requested from time to time by Lender, within a
reasonable time after the applicable request.
If any of the aforementioned materials are not furnished to Lender within the applicable time
periods, in addition to any other rights and remedies of Lender contained herein, Lender shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to obtain the same by means of an audit by an independent
certified public accountant selected by Lender, in which event Borrower agrees to pay, or to
reimburse Lender for, any expense of such audit and further agrees to provide all necessary
information to said accountant and to otherwise cooperate in the making of such audit.
1.17 Further Documentation. Borrower shall, on the request of Lender and at the
expense of Borrower, promptly: (a) correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in
the contents of this Mortgage or in the contents of any of the other Loan Documents; (b) execute,
acknowledge, deliver and record or file such further instruments (including, without limitation,
further mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds, security agreements, financing statements,
continuation statements and assignments of rents or leases) and promptly do such further acts as
may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Mortgage
and the other Loan Documents and to subject to the liens and security interests hereof and thereof
any property intended by the terms hereof and thereof to be covered hereby and thereby, including
specifically, but without limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements or
appurtenances to the Property; (c) execute, acknowledge, deliver, procure and record or file any
document or instrument (including specifically any financing statement) deemed advisable by Lender
to protect, continue or perfect the liens or the security interests hereunder against the rights or
interests of third persons; and (d) furnish to Lender, upon Lender’s request (not more than twice
in a calendar year, provided no Event of Default has occurred), a duly acknowledged written
statement and estoppel certificate addressed to such party or parties as directed by Lender and in
form and substance supplied by Lender, setting forth all amounts due under the Note, stating
whether any Default or Event of Default exists, stating whether any offsets or defenses exist
against the Obligations, affirming that the Loan Documents are the legal, valid and binding
obligations of Borrower, and containing such other matters as Lender may reasonably require.
1.18 Payment of Costs; Reimbursement to Lender. Borrower shall pay all costs and
expenses of every character incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan or otherwise
attributable or chargeable to Borrower as the owner of the Property, including, without limitation,
appraisal fees, recording fees, documentary, stamp, mortgage or intangible taxes, brokerage fees
and commissions, title policy premiums and title search fees, public records search fees, escrow
fees and attorneys’ fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender any and all reasonable costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any
matter for which the consent or approval of Lender is required (or which is required to be
delivered to Lender for review and/or approval) pursuant to the Loan Documents. If Borrower
defaults in any such payment, which default is not cured within any applicable grace or cure
period, Lender may pay the same and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such costs
and expenses incurred or paid by Lender, together with such interest thereon at the Default
Interest Rate from and after the date Lender makes demand for such payment until reimbursement
thereof by Borrower. Further, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any litigation
or litigation threatened in writing affecting the Property, or any other demand or claim which, if
enforced, could impair or threaten to impair Lender’s security hereunder. Without limiting or
waiving any other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, if any action or proceeding of any kind
(including, but
-25-
not limited to, any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other debtor relief
proceeding) is commenced which might affect Lender’s interest in the Property or Lender’s right to
enforce its security, or upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default, then Lender may, at its
option, with or without notice to Borrower, make any appearances, disburse any sums and take any
actions as may be necessary or desirable to protect or enforce the security of this Mortgage or to
remedy such Event of Default (without, however, waiving any Default). Borrower agrees to pay on
demand all expenses of Lender incurred with respect to the foregoing (including, but not limited
to, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), together with interest thereon at the Default
Interest Rate from and after the date on which Lender incurs such expenses until reimbursement
thereof by Borrower. The necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid shall be
determined by Lender in its discretion. Lender is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize
others to enter upon the Property or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing
any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Borrower or any
person in possession holding under Borrower. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the
remedies set forth in this Section 1.18 shall be exercisable by Lender, and any and all payments
made or costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and
shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Borrower with interest thereon at the Default
Interest Rate, notwithstanding the fact that such remedies were exercised and such payments made
and costs incurred by Lender after the filing by Borrower of a voluntary case or the filing against
Borrower of an involuntary case pursuant to or within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of
1978, as amended, Title 11 U.S.C., or after any similar action pursuant to any other debtor relief
law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or
hereafter, in effect, which may be or become applicable to Borrower, Lender, any Indemnitor, the
Obligations or any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless
from and against all loss, cost and expenses with respect to any Event of Default hereof, any liens
(i.e., judgments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens, or otherwise), charges and encumbrances filed
against the Property, and from any claims and demands for damages or injury, including claims for
property damage, personal injury or wrongful death, arising out of or in connection with any
accident or fire or other casualty on the Real Estate or the Improvements or any nuisance made or
suffered thereon, including, in any case, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses as
aforesaid, excluding matters arising solely and directly out of the Lender’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct, whether at pretrial, trial or appellate level, and such indemnity shall survive
payment in full of the Obligations. This Section shall not be construed to require Lender to incur
any expenses, make any appearances or take any actions.
1.19 Security Interest and Security Agreement. This Mortgage is also a security
agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the Property which, under applicable law,
may be subject to a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code, whether acquired now or in
the future, including, without limitation, the Reserves, all products, and cash and non-cash
proceeds thereof (collectively, “UCC Collateral”). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a
security interest in the UCC Collateral. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file such financing
statements, continuation statements and amendments, in such form as Lender may require, to perfect
or continue the perfection of this security interest. Borrower shall pay all third party out of
pocket costs of preparing and filing such statements, and all costs and expenses of any record
searches for financing statements that Lender may require. Without the prior written consent of
Lender, Borrower shall not create or permit to exist any other lien or security interest in any of
the UCC Collateral. The name and address of Borrower (as Debtor under any applicable Uniform
Commercial Code) and Lender (as Secured Party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code) are as
set forth on Page 1 of this Mortgage.
1.20 Easements and Rights-of-Way. Borrower shall not grant any easement or
right-of-way with respect to all or any portion of the Real Estate or the Improvements without the
prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The purchaser
at any foreclosure sale hereunder may, at its discretion, disaffirm any easement or right-of-way
granted in violation of any of
-26-
the provisions of this Mortgage and may take immediate possession of the Property free from,
and despite the terms of, such grant of easement or right-of-way. If Lender consents to the grant
of an easement or right-of-way, Lender agrees to grant such consent provided that Lender is paid a
reasonable review fee together with all other expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in the review of Borrower’s request and in the preparation of
documents effecting the subordination. Borrower shall at all times comply with all easement
agreements, reciprocal easement agreements, declarations, restrictive covenants and any other
similar types of agreements now or hereafter affecting the Property (to the extent that any failure
to comply with such documents, agreements or instruments shall endanger, cloud or adversely affect
title to the Property in any manner, or adversely affect the Property in any manner, as determined
by Lender in its discretion), and Borrower shall not amend, modify or terminate any such easement
agreements, reciprocal easement agreements, declarations, restrictive covenants or any other
similar types of agreements without Lender’s prior written consent.
1.21 Compliance with Laws. Borrower shall at all times comply with all Applicable
Laws. Borrower may, upon providing Lender with security satisfactory to Lender, proceed diligently
and in good faith to contest the validity or applicability of any Applicable Law so long as the
Property shall not be subject to any lien, charge, fine or other liability, and shall not be in
danger of being forfeited, lost or closed, during or as a result of such contest. Borrower shall
not alter the Property in any manner that would materially increase Borrower’s responsibilities for
compliance with Applicable Laws without the prior approval of Lender. Borrower shall not use or
occupy, or allow the use or occupancy of, the Property in any manner which violates any Lease or
any Applicable Law or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable
or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto.
Borrower shall, from time to time, upon Lender’s request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Lender that the Property complies with all Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if as a result of a change in Applicable Law material structural changes are required to
be made to the Property, then Borrower shall have the right at any time during the Defeasance
Period to partially defease the Loan and obtain a release of the Property from the lien of this
Mortgage pursuant to Section 1.03(d)-(f) of the Note.
1.22 Additional Taxes. In the event of the enactment after this date of any law of
the state where the Property is located or of any other governmental entity deducting from the
value of the Property for the purpose of taxation any lien or security interest thereon, or
imposing upon Lender the payment of the whole or any part of the Taxes or Other Charges herein
required to be paid by Borrower, or changing in any way the laws relating to the taxation of
mortgages or security agreements or debts secured by mortgages or security agreements or the
interest of the Lender or secured party in the property covered thereby, or the manner of
collection of such Taxes or Other Charges, so as to adversely affect this Mortgage or the
Obligations or Lender, then, and in any such event, Borrower, upon demand by Lender, shall pay such
Taxes or Other Charges, or reimburse Lender therefor; provided, however,
that if in the opinion of counsel for Lender (a) it might be unlawful to require Borrower
to make such payment, or (b) the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest
beyond the maximum amount permitted by law, then and in either such event, Lender may elect, by
notice in writing given to Borrower, to declare all of the Obligations to be and become due and
payable in full sixty (60) days from the giving of such notice.
1.23 Borrower’s Waivers. To the full extent permitted by law, Borrower shall not at
any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in
force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, moratorium or extension, or any law now or
hereafter in force providing for the reinstatement of the Obligations prior to any sale of the
Property to be made pursuant to any provisions contained herein or prior to the entering of any
decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction, or any right under any statute to
redeem all or any part of the
-27-
Property so sold. Borrower, for Borrower and Borrower’s successors and assigns, and for any
and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Property, to the full extent permitted by law,
hereby knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily with and upon the advice of competent counsel: (a)
waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all rights of valuation, appraisement, stay of
execution, reinstatement and notice of election or intention to mature or declare due the
Obligations (except such notices as are specifically provided for herein); (b) waives, releases,
relinquishes and forever forgoes all right to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, including
the Property, to a sale in the inverse order of alienation, or to direct the order in which any of
the Property shall be sold in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby
created and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such liens and security
interests may order the Property sold as an entirety; and (c) waives, releases, relinquishes and
forever forgoes all rights and periods of redemption provided under applicable law. To the full
extent permitted by law, Borrower shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule of
law pertaining to the exemption of homestead or other exemption under any federal, state or local
law now or hereafter in effect, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters
whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the terms of this Mortgage to a sale
of the Property, for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for
collection, or the right of Lender under the terms of this Mortgage to the payment of the
Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant
whatever. Further, Borrower hereby knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily, with and upon the
advice of competent counsel, waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all present and
future statutes of limitations as a defense to any action to enforce the provisions of this
Mortgage or to collect any of the Obligations the fullest extent permitted by law. Borrower
covenants and agrees that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding
by or against Borrower, Borrower shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise shall not seek
pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended,
or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any
jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay,
interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights of Lender
against any Indemnitor of the secured obligations or any other party liable with respect thereto by
virtue of any indemnity, guaranty or otherwise.
1.24 Management.
(a) The management of the Property shall be by either (1) Borrower or an entity affiliated
with Borrower approved by Lender for so long as Borrower or said affiliated entity is managing the
Property in a first class, commercially reasonable manner to upkeep the building in accordance with
its condition as of the date hereof; or (2) a professional property management company approved by
Lender, and in either case pursuant to a written agreement approved by Lender. Borrower represents
that, as of the date hereof, Borrower has not retained either a property manager or a leasing agent
for the Property. In no event shall any manager be removed, replaced or retained, or any
management agreement entered into, modified or amended, in each case without the prior written
consent of Lender, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. After an Event of Default hereunder
or a default under any management contract then in effect, which default is not cured within any
applicable grace or cure period, Lender shall have the right to terminate, or to direct Borrower to
terminate, such management contract upon thirty (30) days’ notice and to retain, or to direct
Borrower to retain, a new management agent approved by Lender. It shall be a condition of Lender’s
consent to any management agreement, whether with an affiliate of Borrower or a professional
property management company, that such manager enter into an agreement with Lender whereby the
manager acknowledges and agrees to the aforesaid rights of Lender, and as to such other matters as
Lender may require.
(b) Without limiting the restrictions set forth in Section 1.24(a) pertaining to the
management agreement for the Property, Borrower may not terminate any other Contract that is
material to the operation of the Property, or enter into any amendment thereto that makes the terms
thereof less
-28-
favorable to Borrower, in each case without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall
not unreasonably be withheld, provided, however, that if the other party to such Contract is in
default thereunder, and Borrower can replace the goods or services provided on terms not materially
disadvantageous to Borrower, then the prior written consent of Lender shall not be required to
terminate such Contract. Borrower shall perform its obligations under each Contract and each of
the General Intangibles (to the extent Borrower is obligated to perform), except where Borrower’s
failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on Borrower or the Property. Borrower
represents that its interest under each Contract, and each General Intangible, is not subject to
any claim, setoff, lien, deduction or encumbrance of any nature, other than that created by this
Mortgage. At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action as Lender may determine to be reasonably necessary to protect the
rights of Borrower under any or all of the Contracts and/or the General Intangibles. Should
Lender, or Lender’s designee, acquire the Property (whether pursuant to exercise of Lender’s
remedies hereunder or by transfer in lieu thereof), Lender may elect to assume Borrower’s interests
under any or all of the Contracts or General Intangibles as Lender shall determine, and Borrower
shall cause to be terminated, without obligation to Lender or the successor owner of the Property,
such other Contracts and/or General Intangibles as Lender may direct.
1.25 Hazardous Waste and Other Substances.
(a) Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that, as of the date hereof, except as
disclosed in writing to Lender: (i) to Borrower’s knowledge, obtained in Borrower’s ownership,
possession and, to the extent applicable, occupancy of the Property, except as expressly set forth
in the environmental reports prepared for Lender in connection with the Loan (collectively, the
“Environmental Report”), the Property is not in direct or indirect violation of any local,
state or federal law, rule or regulation pertaining to environmental regulation, contamination or
clean-up (collectively, “Environmental Laws”), including, without limitation, the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 X.X.X. §0000
et seq. and 40 CFR §302.1 et seq.), the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act of 1976 (42 X.X.X. §0000 et seq.), the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act (33 X.X.X. §0000 et seq. and 40 CFR § 116.1 et seq.), those
relating to lead based paint, and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (49 U.S.C. §1801
et seq.), and the regulations promulgated pursuant to said laws, all as amended;
(ii) to Borrower’s knowledge, obtained in Borrower’s ownership, possession and, to the extent
applicable, occupancy of the Property, except as expressly set forth in the Environmental Report,
no hazardous, toxic or harmful substances, wastes, materials, pollutants or contaminants
(including, without limitation, asbestos, lead based paint, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum
products, flammable explosives, radioactive materials, infectious substances or raw materials which
include hazardous constituents) or any other substances or materials which are included under or
regulated by Environmental Laws, or any molds, spores or fungus or other harmful microbial matter
(collectively, “Hazardous Substances”) are located on or have been handled, generated,
stored, processed or disposed of on or released or discharged from the Property (including
underground contamination) except for those substances used, stored or handled by Borrower or
Tenants in the ordinary course of their respective business and in compliance with all
Environmental Laws; (iii) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due and diligent inquiry, the
Property is not subject to any private or governmental lien or judicial or administrative notice or
action relating to Hazardous Substances; (iv) to Borrower’s knowledge, obtained in Borrower’s
ownership, possession and, to the extent applicable, occupancy of the Property, except as expressly
set forth in the Environmental Report, there are no existing or closed underground storage tanks or
other underground storage receptacles for Hazardous Substances on the Property; (v) Borrower has
received no written notice of, and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, there exists no
investigation, action, proceeding or claim by any agency, authority or unit of government or by any
third party which could result in any liability, penalty, sanction or judgment under any
Environmental Laws with respect to any condition, use or operation of the Property nor does
Borrower know of any basis for such a claim; and (vi) Borrower has received no written notice of
and, to
-29-
the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, there has been no claim by any party that any
use, operation or condition of the Property has caused any nuisance or any other liability or
adverse condition on any other property nor does Borrower know of any basis for such a claim.
(b) Borrower shall keep or cause the Property to be kept free from Hazardous Substances
(except those substances disclosed in the Environmental Report and used, stored or handled by
Borrower and Tenants in the ordinary course of their respective business and, in each case, in
compliance with all Environmental Laws) and in compliance with all Environmental Laws, shall not
install or use any underground storage tanks, shall expressly prohibit the use, generation,
handling, storage, production, processing and disposal of Hazardous Substances by all Tenants
(except in the ordinary course of a business that is not a Prohibited Use and in each case in
compliance with all Environmental Laws) and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
during the term of this Mortgage, shall not install in the Improvements or permit to be installed
in the Improvements asbestos-containing materials (“ACMs”) or any substance containing
ACMs. Borrower shall, if required under applicable Environmental Laws, maintain all applicable
Material Safety Data Sheets with respect to the Property, and make same available to Lender or
Lender’s consultants upon reasonable notice.
(c) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender if Borrower shall become aware of the possible
existence of any Hazardous Substances on the Property (except as disclosed in the Environmental
Report, in the ordinary course of a business that is not a Prohibited Use and in each case in
compliance with all Environmental Laws) or if Borrower shall become aware that the Property is or
may be in violation of any Environmental Laws. Further, immediately upon receipt of the same,
Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all orders, notices, permits, applications,
reports, and other communications, documents and instruments received, communicated to or obtained
by Borrower pertaining to the actual, alleged or potential presence or existence of any Hazardous
Substances at, on, about, under, within, near or in connection with the Property. Borrower shall,
promptly and when and as required by Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, take all actions
as shall be necessary or advisable for the clean-up of any and all portions of the Property or
other affected property which Lender reasonably determines to be migrating from the Property to
such affected property, in accordance with, and to the extent required by, all applicable
Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, all investigative, monitoring, removal,
containment and remedial actions in accordance with and to the extent required by all applicable
Environmental Laws, and shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense to Lender, all
clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be
asserted against the Property; in the event Borrower fails to take such actions, (1) Lender may,
but shall not be obligated to, cause the Property or other affected property to be freed from any
Hazardous Substances (except for those Hazardous Substances disclosed in the Environmental Report,
used in the ordinary course of a business that are not a Prohibited Use and in each case are in
compliance with all Environmental Laws) or otherwise brought into compliance with Environmental
Laws and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with
interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date demand for payment is made by Lender
until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand, and (2) Borrower
hereby grants to Lender and its agents and employees access to the Property and a license to remove
any Hazardous Substances (except for those Hazardous Substances disclosed in the Environmental
Report, used in the ordinary course of business that are not a Prohibited Use and in each case are
in compliance with all Environmental Laws) and to do all things Lender shall deem necessary to
bring the Property in conformance with Environmental Laws. Borrower covenants and agrees, at
Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to indemnify, defend (at trial and appellate levels, and with
attorneys, consultants and experts acceptable to Lender), and hold Lender harmless from and against
any and all liens, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, settlement payments, penalties,
assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits,
proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and
-30-
disbursements actually incurred in investigating, defending, settling or prosecuting any
claim, litigation or proceeding) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or
awarded against Lender or the Property, and arising directly or indirectly from or out of: (i) the
presence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting all
or any portion of the Property regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of
Borrower; (ii) the violation of any Environmental Laws relating to or affecting the Property,
whether or not caused by or within the control of Borrower; (iii) the failure by Borrower to comply
fully with the terms and conditions of this Section 1.25; (iv) the breach of any representation or
warranty contained in this Section 1.25; or (v) the enforcement of this Section 1.25, including,
without limitation, the cost of assessment, containment and/or removal of any and all Hazardous
Substances from all or any portion of the Property the cost of any actions taken in response to the
presence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting any
portion of the Property or (to the extent such Hazardous Substances were released from, or
migrated from, the Property) any surrounding areas to prevent or minimize such release or threat of
release so that it does not migrate or otherwise cause or threaten danger to present or future
public health, safety, welfare or the environment, and costs incurred to comply with the
Environmental Laws in connection with all or any portion of the Property or any such surrounding
areas. The indemnity set forth in this Section 1.25(c) shall also include, when realized, any
diminution in the value of the security afforded by the Property or any future reduction in the
sales price of the Property by reason of any matter set forth in this Section 1.25(c). Lender’s
rights under this Section shall survive payment in full of the Obligations and shall be in addition
to all other rights of Lender under this Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
(d) Upon Lender’s request, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder
and in connection with a potential sale of the Property pursuant to Lender’s exercise of its rights
and remedies under this Mortgage, or at such other time as Lender has reasonable grounds to believe
that Hazardous Substances (except for those Hazardous Substances disclosed in the Environmental
Report, used in the ordinary course of a business that are not a Prohibited Use and in each case
are in compliance with all Environmental Laws) are or have been released, stored or disposed of on
or around the Property or that the Property may be in violation of the Environmental Laws (except
for items disclosed in the environmental report delivered to Lender in connection herewith),
Borrower shall provide, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, an inspection or audit of the Property
prepared by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant approved by
Lender to determine the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on the Property or an
inspection or audit of the Improvements prepared by an engineering or consulting firm approved by
Lender to determine the presence or absence of friable asbestos or substances containing asbestos
on the Property. If Borrower fails to provide such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days
after such request, Lender may order the same, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its
employees and agents access to the Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit.
The cost of such inspection or audit shall be immediately due and payable to Lender by Borrower on
demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date demand for
payment is made by Lender until actually paid by Borrower.
(e) The obligations of Borrower under this Mortgage (including, without limitation, this
Section 1.25) with respect to Hazardous Substances shall not in any way limit the obligations of
any party under the Hazardous Substances Indemnity.
1.26 Brokerage Fees; Indemnification; Subrogation.
(a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless against: (i) any and all claims
for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made relating to the Property or the
Obligations, and (ii) any and all liability, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims,
actions, suits, costs and expenses (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with
reasonable appellate
-31-
counsel fees, if any) of whatever kind or nature which may be asserted against, imposed on or
incurred by Lender in connection with the Obligations, this Mortgage, the Property, or any part
thereof, or the exercise by Lender of any rights or remedies granted to it under this Mortgage;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Borrower to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses enacted against, imposed on or incurred by
Lender by reason of Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
(b) If Lender is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened or
brought against Lender concerning the Obligations, this Mortgage, the Property, or any part
thereof, or any interest therein, or the construction, maintenance, operation or occupancy or use
thereof, then Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against all
liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (together
with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by Lender in any such
litigation or claim, whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment. If
Lender commences an action against Borrower to enforce any of the terms hereof or to prosecute any
breach by Borrower of any of the terms hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents, or to recover
any sum secured hereby, Borrower shall pay to Lender its reasonable attorneys’ fees (together with
reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses. The right to such attorneys’ fees
(together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses shall be deemed to have
accrued on the commencement of such action, and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is
prosecuted to judgment. If Borrower breaches any term of this Mortgage, Lender may engage the
services of an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and in the event of such
engagement following any breach by Borrower, Borrower shall pay Lender reasonable attorneys’ fees
(together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by Lender, whether
or not an action is actually commenced against Borrower by reason of such breach. All references
to “attorneys” in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Mortgage shall include without limitation
any attorney or law firm engaged by Lender and Lender’s in-house counsel, and all references to
“fees and expenses” in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Mortgage shall include without
limitation any reasonable fees of such attorney or law firm and any reasonable allocation charges
and reasonable allocation costs of Lender’s in-house counsel.
(c) A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by Borrower from its insurance carrier and,
consequently, Borrower waives any and all right to claim or recover against Lender, its officers,
employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to Borrower, the Property, Borrower’s
property or the property of others under Borrower’s control from any cause insured against or
required to be insured against by the provisions of this Mortgage.
1.27 Single-Purpose Entity Covenants. Borrower hereby represents, warrants and
covenants, as of the date hereof and until such time as the Obligations are paid in full, that
without, in each case, the prior written consent of Lender (which may be withheld or conditioned by
Lender in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason or for no reason):
(a) The sole purpose of Borrower has been, is and will be, to acquire, own, hold, maintain,
and operate the Property, together with such other activities as may be necessary or advisable in
connection with the ownership of the Property. Borrower has not engaged, and does not and shall
not engage, in any business, and it has and shall have no purpose, unrelated to ownership of the
Property. Borrower has not owned, does not own and shall not acquire, any real property or own
assets other than those related to the Property and/or otherwise in furtherance of the limited
purposes of Borrower.
(b) Neither Borrower, nor any general partner, manager or managing member (a “Controlling
Entity”) of Borrower, as applicable, shall have the authority to perform any act in respect of
-32-
Borrower in violation of any (a) applicable laws or regulations or (b) any agreement between
Borrower and Lender (including, without limitation, the Loan Documents).
(c) Borrower shall not:
(1) make any loans to the holder (directly or indirectly) of any equity interests in Borrower
(collectively, the “Equity Holders”), any Affiliate (as defined below) of Borrower or of any Equity
Holders;
(2) except as expressly permitted by the Lender in writing, sell, encumber (except with
respect to the Lender) or otherwise transfer or dispose of all or substantially all of the
properties of Borrower (a sale or disposition will be deemed to be “all or substantially all of the
properties of Borrower” if the sale or disposition includes the Property or if the total value of
the properties sold or disposed of in such transaction and during the twelve months preceding such
transaction is sixty six and two thirds percent (66-2/3%) or more in value of Borrower’s total
assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year of Borrower);
(3) to the fullest extent permitted by law, dissolve, wind-up, or liquidate Borrower;
(4) merge, consolidate or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of an Affiliate of
same or other person or entity;
(5) change the nature of the business conducted by Borrower; or
(6) except as permitted by the Lender in writing, amend, modify or otherwise change the
Organizational Documents (as defined below) of Borrower (which approval, after a Secondary Market
Transaction with respect to the Loan, may be conditioned upon Lender’s receipt of confirmation from
each of the applicable Rating Agencies that such amendment, modification or change would not result
in the qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of any securities rating).
(d) Borrower shall not, and no Equity Holder or other person or entity on behalf of Borrower
shall, without the prior written affirmative vote of one hundred percent (100%) of the members,
partners or stockholders of Borrower: (1) institute proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or
insolvent; (2) consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it; (3)
file a petition seeking, or consenting to, reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or
state law relating to bankruptcy (but the foregoing clause (2) shall not apply to Persons that own
shares in a Publicly Traded Corporation); (4) consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Borrower or a substantial part of
its property; (5) make any assignment for the benefit of creditors; (6) admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or declare or effect a moratorium on its
debts; or (7) take any action in furtherance of any such action ((1) through (7) above, with
respect to any individual or entity, collectively, a “Bankruptcy Action”).
(e) Borrower shall have no indebtedness or incur any liability other than (1) unsecured debts
and liabilities for trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of its
business of operating the Property, provided, however, that such unsecured indebtedness or
liabilities (y) are in amounts that are normal and reasonable under the circumstances, but in no
event to exceed three percent (3%) of the original principal amount of the Loan and (z) are not
evidenced by a note and are paid when due, but in no event for more than sixty (60) days from the
date that such indebtedness or liabilities are incurred and (2) the Obligations. No indebtedness
other than the Loan shall be secured (senior, subordinated or pari passu) by the
Property.
-33-
(f) The following provisions shall apply only when Borrower is a limited liability company or
a partnership. A Bankruptcy Action by or against any partner or member of Borrower, as applicable,
shall not cause such partner or member of Borrower, as applicable, to cease to be a partner or
member of Borrower and upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Action, Borrower shall continue without
dissolution. Additionally, to the fullest extent permitted by law, if any partner or member of
Borrower, as applicable, ceases to be a partner or member of Borrower, as applicable, such event
shall not terminate Borrower and Borrower shall continue without dissolution.
(g) Borrower shall at all times observe the applicable legal requirements for the recognition
of Borrower as a legal entity separate from any Equity Holders or Affiliates of Borrower or of any
Equity Holder, including, without limitation, as follows:
(1) Borrower shall either (a) maintain its principal executive office and telephone and

-34-
liabilities or obligations of any Equity Holder or any Affiliate of Borrower, nor shall it make any

one bank account), (ii) funds of Borrower shall not be commingled with the funds of any Affiliate
of Borrower or of any Equity Holder, (iii) the Borrower Parties shall maintain all accounts in

1.28 Reserve Accounts and Disbursement Requests. At Lender’s option, as additional
security for the indebtedness secured hereby, Borrower shall establish and maintain the reserve
accounts required by this Section 1.28, subject to the security interest therein as more fully set
forth in Section 1.19 hereof.
(a) Replacement Reserve. Borrower agrees that it will perform, or cause to be
performed, all repairs and replacements necessary to maintain the Property in good working order,
in accordance with its condition as of the date hereof. Simultaneously herewith, and on each
Payment Date until the Note is paid in full, Borrower shall pay to Lender the sum of $588.34 to be
held in a reserve fund (the “Replacement Reserve”) subject to this Mortgage and the Other
Mortgages, for payment of certain repairs and replacements at the Property which, under generally
accepted accounting principles, are categorized as capital expenses and not as operating expenses
(the “Repairs”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make a
deposit into the Replacement Reserve to the extent that any such deposit would increase the amount
in the Replacement Reserve (after deducting any pending disbursement requests therefrom) above
$62,100.00. Borrower shall perform, or cause Principal Tenant to perform, all Repairs in a good
and workmanlike manner, in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations, and each case in a
manner satisfactory to Lender and as necessary to maintain the Property in good condition and in
compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. So long as no Default
shall exist and be continuing, Lender shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in
the Replacement Reserve, disburse to Borrower the amount paid or incurred by Borrower in performing
the Repairs as required above upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 1.29 of
this Mortgage. Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, make or cause to be made an inspection of the
Property to determine the need, as determined by Lender in its reasonable judgment, for further
Repairs of the Property. In the event that such inspection reveals that further Repairs are
required, Lender shall
-37-
provide Borrower with a written description of the required Repairs, and Borrower shall
complete, or cause Principal Tenant to complete, such Repairs to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction
within ninety (90) days after Lender’s notice, or such later date as may be approved by Lender in
its discretion.
(b) HMBF Excess Cash Flow Reserve. In the event Borrower has not delivered a
Satisfactory Letter of Credit (as that term is defined in Section 5.31 hereof) to Lender on or
before October 31, 2011, then commencing on November 1, 2011 (the “HMBF Sweep Period”), all
Excess Cash Flow (as defined below) shall be deposited (the “Excess Cash Flow Sweep”) into
a reserve account (the “HMBF Excess Cash Flow Reserve”) to be held by Lender as additional
collateral for the Loan, and for payment of Leasing Costs. Borrower shall be required to continue
to make such deposits of Excess Cash Flow into the HMBF Excess Cash Flow Reserve each month until
the satisfaction of the HMBF Tenant Conditions (as defined in that certain Cash Management
Agreement of even date herewith between the Borrower Parties and Lender (the “CMA”)) or
until the date that the sum in the HMBF Excess Cash Flow Reserve is equal to $673,000.00. Upon the
satisfaction of the HMBF Tenant Conditions, provided no Default exists, Lender shall disburse funds
in the HMBF Excess Cash Flow Reserve for payment of Leasing Costs incurred by Borrower in
connection with Borrower’s leasing of space at the Property, subject to and in accordance with
Section 1.29 below. Lender may use funds in the HMBF Excess Cash Flow Reserve to pay for Leasing
Costs in connection with re-leasing the Property to a HMBF Replacement Tenant pursuant to a lease
approved by Lender in accordance with this Mortgage (“Approved Leasing Costs”). In the
event Borrower has delivered a Satisfactory Letter of Credit to Lender, and Borrower has failed to
pay the Leasing Costs for any Lease of space at the Property, then Lender may and is hereby
authorized to draw upon the Letter of Credit, by sight draft on the Issuing Bank (as those terms
are defined in Section 5.31 hereof), and deposit the cash proceeds thereof into the HMBF Excess
Cash Flow Reserve and to disburse funds in the HMBF Excess Cash Flow Reserve for payment of Leasing
Costs incurred by Borrower in connection with Borrower’s leasing of space at the Property, subject
to and in accordance with Section 1.29 below. As used herein, the term “Excess Cash Flow”
shall mean all cash flow generated by the Property and Properties after deducting the payments
identified in Section 2(d)(ii)(a-e) of the CMA. Defined terms used herein and not defined shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the CMA.
(c) [RESERVED]
(d) Early Termination of Leases. If any Tenant (a “Terminating Tenant”) gives
notice to Borrower that it is exercising an early termination option set forth in its Lease with
Borrower, Borrower shall direct such Tenant to deliver the payment required pursuant to its Lease
in connection with the exercise of the early termination option (the “Early Termination
Payment”) to be remitted to Lender. Borrower agrees, furthermore, that if such Tenant remits
the Early Termination Payment directly to Borrower, Borrower shall remit the Early Termination
Payment to Lender. Any Early Termination Payment shall be deposited in a segregated sub-account of
the Leasing Reserve (the “Early Termination Reserve”) to be held as additional security for
the Obligations; a separate Early Termination Reserve shall be maintained with respect to each
Lease so terminated. So long as no Default shall exist and be continuing, Lender shall, to the
extent that funds are available for such purpose in the Early Termination Reserve, disburse to
Borrower funds then on deposit in the Early Termination Reserve as follows:
(i) If Borrower enters into a Lease for the entire premises previously demised under the Lease
so terminated (the “Vacated Space”) with a Tenant reasonably acceptable to Lender and such
Lease satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 1.10 hereof, and the Tenant under such Lease
accepts such demised premises, takes occupancy thereof and commences the payment of base rent under
its Lease (any such Lease, a “Qualified Replacement Lease”), then all funds in the Early
Termination Reserve shall be used first to pay Leasing Costs with respect to such Qualified
Replacement Lease upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.29 hereof; any funds
remaining in the
-38-
Early Termination Reserve after payment of all Leasing Costs with respect thereto shall be
disbursed to Borrower as follows: (x) if the monthly net rent payable under the Qualified
Replacement Lease is greater than or equal to the monthly rent payable by the Terminating Tenant
under its Lease as of the date of such termination, then provided no Default is then continuing,
such funds remaining in the Early Termination Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower; and (y) if
the monthly net rent payable under the Qualified Replacement Lease is less than the monthly rent
payable by the Terminating Tenant under its Lease as of the date of such termination, then provided
no Default is then continuing all funds remaining in the Early Termination Reserve shall be
disbursed to Borrower in equal monthly installments over the remaining term of the Qualified
Replacement Lease, until such time as all funds have been disbursed from the Early Termination
Reserve.
(ii) If Borrower enters into one or more Leases each for less than the entire Vacated Space,
no disbursements shall be permitted from the Early Termination Reserve except as follows:
(i) until such time as the entire Vacated Space has been re-leased pursuant to
one or more Qualified Replacement Leases, and the Tenant under each such Qualified
Replacement Lease accepts such demised premises, takes occupancy thereof and
commences the payment of base rent under its Lease, Lender shall from time to time
make disbursements on account of Leasing Costs with respect to the Vacated Space,
provided, however, that the disbursements with respect to any portion of the Vacated
Space on a per-square foot basis shall not exceed the amount of the Early
Termination Payment on a per-square-foot basis; and
(ii) at such time as the entire Vacated Space has been re-leased pursuant to
one or more Qualified Replacement Leases and the Tenant under each such Qualified
Replacement Lease accepts such demised premises, takes occupancy thereof and
commences the payment of base rent under its Lease, then after payment of all
Leasing Costs with respect to the re-leasing of such Vacated Space, the funds
remaining in the Early Termination Reserve shall be disbursed as follows: (i)
first, to the extent that any disbursements were made from the Leasing
Reserve with respect to such Vacated Space, an amount equal to the sum of all such
disbursements will be transferred to the Leasing Reserve (notwithstanding any limit
to the required deposits thereto); (ii) next, any funds remaining in the
Early Termination Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower as follows: (x) if the
monthly aggregate net rents payable under all such Qualified Replacement Leases is
greater than or equal to the monthly rent payable by the Terminating Tenant, and the
term of all such Qualified Replacement Leases extends to or beyond the scheduled
expiration date of the Lease with the Terminating Tenant, then provided no Default
is then continuing such funds remaining in the Early Termination Reserve shall be
disbursed to Borrower; and (y) if the conditions of clause (x) are not satisfied,
then provided no Default is then continuing such funds remaining in the Early
Termination Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower in equal monthly installments
over the period that would have been remaining in the term of the Lease with the
Terminating Tenant.
Leasing Costs with respect to any Qualified Replacement Lease shall be disbursed first out of the
related Early Termination Reserve, if applicable, prior to using any funds in the Leasing Reserve
with respect thereto.
(e) Payment Reserve. Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Borrower has
established with Lender a temporary reserve in the amount equal to one (1) regular monthly
installment of
-39-
principal, interest and all required reserves, deposits or impounds under the Loan Documents
(the “Payment Reserve”). Borrower understands and agrees that, notwithstanding the
establishment of the Payment Reserve as herein required, all of the proceeds of the Note have been,
and shall be considered, fully disbursed and shall bear interest and be payable on the terms
provided therein. So long as no Default has occurred hereunder, Lender shall on the first Payment
Date under the Note, advance from the Payment Reserve to itself the amount due and payable by
Borrower under the Note on such Payment Date and shall also advance from the Payment Reserve into
the Impound Account the amount of any deposit for Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance Premiums
and into each other Reserve the amount of any deposit required to be paid for such purpose by
Borrower on such Payment Date pursuant to the terms hereof. Borrower shall not be obligated to
make any further deposits into the Payment Reserve after the disbursement of the funds held therein
as aforesaid, and the Payment Reserve shall terminate upon such disbursement. No interest on funds
contained in the Payment Reserve shall be paid by Lender to Borrower. Nothing contained herein,
including, without limitation, the existence of the Payment Reserve, shall release Borrower of any
obligation to make payments under the Note, this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents strictly in
accordance with the terms hereof or thereof and, in this regard, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, should the amounts contained in the Payment Reserve not be sufficient to pay in full
the amount due under the Note and the Impound Account and other Reserve deposits referenced above
in this subparagraph on such Payment Date, Borrower shall be responsible for paying such deficiency
on the due date of any such payments.
1.29 Disbursements from the Property Reserve Accounts. So long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing under this Mortgage, all sums in each of the HMBF Excess Cash
Flow Reserve and the Replacement Reserve (the foregoing, collectively, the “Property Reserve
Accounts”) shall be held by Lender in the respective Property Reserve Account as set forth
above for the purposes set forth in Section 1.28. So long as no Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lender shall disburse to Borrower, from the appropriate Property Reserve Account for
the purposes set forth in Section 1.28, an amount equal to the actual expenses incurred to date by
Borrower, less any prior disbursements to Borrower from any of the Property Reserve Account for
such expenditure, but only to the extent that such expense is one for which, pursuant to
Section 1.28, the proceeds of a Property Reserve Account may be disbursed. Disbursements shall be
made to Borrower within ten (10) days following Lender’s receipt of each of the following:
(a) a written request from Borrower for such disbursement, accompanied by a certification by
Borrower, in the form therefor then utilized by Lender or Lender’s servicing agent;
(b) copies of invoices, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender verifying the cost
and expenses actually incurred by Borrower or the payment of the costs and expenses for which
Borrower is requesting such disbursement;
(c) for disbursement requests in connection with a single project, or group of related
projects, for which Borrower is seeking reimbursement of $20,000 or more, affidavits, lien waivers
or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender showing that all materialmen, laborers,
contractors, suppliers and other parties who have or might claim statutory or common law liens, or
who have furnished labor, materials or supplies to or in connection with the Property, have been
paid all amounts due;
(d) for disbursement requests in connection with a single project, or group of related
projects, for which Borrower is seeking reimbursement of $40,000 or more, excluding, however,
Leasing Commissions, a certification from an inspecting architect or other third party reasonably
acceptable to Lender, verifying that the any work for which Borrower is requesting a disbursement
has been properly completed and that the cost of such work bears a reasonable relationship to the
costs incurred therefor;
-40-
(e) a copy of the certificate of occupancy for the Improvements if, as a result of any work
undertaken by Borrower, it was necessary to receive an amendment to the existing certificate of
occupancy (or similar instrument) issued with respect to the Improvements, or to obtain a new
certificate of occupancy for the Improvements, or a certification of Borrower that no such amended
or new certificate of occupancy is required; and
(f) payment of an administrative fee of $150.00 per request.
Lender shall not be required to make an advance from each Property Reserve Account more frequently
than once in any thirty (30) day period. In making any disbursement from a Property Reserve
Account, Lender shall be entitled to rely on the disbursement request from Borrower without any
inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any amount set forth therein. All costs
and expenses required to be incurred in connection with the review and approval of each request for
a disbursement from a Property Reserve Account shall be paid by Borrower not later than
concurrently with such disbursement. The Reserves shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required
by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds. Lender may, at its discretion,
hold the Reserves either in a separate account or commingled by Lender with any other funds in the
possession or control of Lender. The Reserves are solely for the protection of Lender, and entail
no responsibility on Lender’s part beyond making disbursements upon strict satisfaction of the
requirements of Section 1.28 and this Section 1.29 and beyond the allowing of due credit for the
sums actually received. In the event that the amounts on deposit in any of the Property Reserve
Account are insufficient to reimburse Borrower for amounts otherwise properly requested, Lender
shall not be obligated or authorized to transfer funds from other Reserves, and Borrower shall pay
the amount of such deficiency. Upon assignment of this Mortgage by Lender, any funds in the
Reserves shall be turned over to the assignee, and any responsibility of the assignor with respect
thereto shall terminate.
1.30 Interest-Bearing Reserves. Lender shall cause funds in the Leasing Reserve and
the Replacement Reserve (referred to in this Section 1.30 as the “Interest-Bearing
Reserve”) to be deposited into an interest bearing account of the type customarily maintained
by Lender or its servicing agent for the investment of similar reserves, which account may not
yield the highest interest rate then available. To the extent that any funds in any of the
Reserves are invested in any investment suitable for the investment of escrows and reserves
established under mortgage loans included in a Secondary Market Transaction in which some or all of
the securities issued thereby are rated “AAA” (or the equivalent rating) by one or more Rating
Agencies, as the standards therefor are established from time to time (or if Lender reasonably
determines that no such standards exist, such investments as are otherwise acceptable to Lender, in
the exercise of prudent lending standards), Borrower shall bear the risk of loss of such
investments. Interest payable on such amounts shall be computed based on the daily outstanding
balance in the Interest-Bearing Reserve. Such interest shall be calculated on a simple,
non-compounded interest basis based solely on contributions made to the Interest-Bearing Reserve by
Borrower. All interest earned on amounts contributed to the Interest-Bearing Reserve shall be
retained by Lender and added to the balance in such Interest-Bearing Reserve and shall be disbursed
for payment of the items for which other funds in such Interest-Bearing Reserve are to be
disbursed. Borrower acknowledges that all Reserves other than the Interest-Bearing Reserves shall
not accrue or bear interest for the benefit of Borrower, and no interest shall be payable thereon
by Lender.
1.31 Principal Lease.
(a) Borrower will comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the
Principal Lease, Borrower will not, without the prior consent of Lender, do or permit anything to
be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will impair or
tend to
-41-
impair the security of the Real Estate under the Principal Lease or will be grounds for
declaring a forfeiture of the Principal Lease.
(b) Borrower shall enforce in all material respects the Principal Lease and will not, without
the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed as to any matter other than a surrender or termination of the Principal Lease or the
exercise of any option thereunder, terminate, modify, cancel, change, supplement, alter or amend
any of the Principal Lease, or waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge its
interest under the Principal Lease, or from any of the material covenants and conditions to be
performed or observed by Principal Tenant under the Principal Lease (Principal Tenant is
hereinafter referred to in this Section 1.31 as the “Tenant”). Any such termination,
cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Principal Lease
without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect.
(c) Borrower will give Lender prompt (and in all events within five (5) days) notice of the
receipt by Borrower of any notice of default from the Tenant. Borrower will promptly (and in all
events within five (5) days) furnish to Lender copies of all material information furnished to the
Tenant by the terms of the Principal Lease. Borrower will deliver to Lender an exact copy of any
material notice, communication, plan, specification or other instrument or document received or
given by Borrower in any way relating to or affecting the Principal Lease which may concern or
affect the estate of the Tenant or Borrower thereunder in or under the Principal Lease or in the
real estate respectively thereby demised.
(d) Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any obligations of
Borrower under the terms of the Principal Lease during the continuance of a default thereunder,
after notice, if applicable, and the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, if any.
All costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so
incurred, after such a default shall be treated as an advance secured by this Mortgage, shall bear
interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date of payment by Lender until paid in full
and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default within five
(5) days after demand. No performance by Lender of any obligations of Borrower shall constitute a
waiver of any default arising by reason of Borrower’s failure to perform the same. If Lender shall
make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with this Section 1.31(d), Lender
will notify Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the
taking of any such action. In any such event, subject to the rights of lessees, sublessees and
other occupants under the Principal Lease, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have,
and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for
the purpose of taking any such action.
(e) To the extent permitted by law, the price payable by Borrower or any other person or
entity in the exercise of any right of redemption following foreclosure of the Property shall
include all rents paid and other sums advanced by Lender, together with interest thereon at the
Default Interest Rate as fee owner and as lessee under the Principal Lease, respectively, on behalf
of Borrower on account of the Property.
(f) If either Borrower or the Tenant shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default
sent by such person to another party under the Principal Lease, such notice shall constitute full
protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in reliance thereon
after notice, if applicable, and the expiration of any applicable cure period if any.
(g) Borrower hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender all of Borrower’s claims and
rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by Tenant of the Principal Lease under
the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly (and in any event within ten (10)
-42-
days) of any claim, suit action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any of the
Principal Lease. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled
with an interest, with exclusive power to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower, any
proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in
respect of Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code during the continuance of any Event of Default.
Borrower may make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceedings (subject to
Lender’s reasonable approval); provided, however, that Lender shall be authorized and entitled to
compromise or settle any such proceeding if such compromise or settlement is made after the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. Borrower shall promptly execute and
deliver to Lender any and all instruments reasonably required in connection with any such
proceeding after request therefor by Lender. Except as set forth above, Borrower shall not adjust,
compromise, settle or enter into any agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior
written consent of Lender.
(h) Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent, elect to treat any of the
Principal Lease as terminated under Section 365(h)(l) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such election
made without Lender’s prior written consent shall be void.
(i) If pursuant to Section 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower seeks to offset against
the rent reserved in the Principal Lease the amount of any damages caused by the non-performance by
the Tenant of any of the Tenant’s obligations under the Principal Lease after the rejection by the
Tenant of the Principal Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall, prior to effecting such
offset, notify Lender of its intention to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset
and the basis therefor. If Lender has failed to object as aforesaid within ten (10) days after
notice from Borrower in accordance with the first sentence of this subsection (l), Borrower may
proceed to effect such offset in the amounts set forth in Borrower’s notice. Neither Lender’s
failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection or other communication between Lender and Borrower
relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Lender. Borrower shall
indemnify and save Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits,
proceedings, damages, losses, costs and expenses of every nature whatsoever (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising from or relating to any such
offset by Borrower against the rent reserved in the respective Lease.
(j) If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of
Borrower or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Property
in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender shall have the option, to the
exclusion of Borrower, exercisable upon notice from Lender to Borrower, to conduct and control any
such litigation with counsel of Lender’s choice. Lender may proceed in its own name or in the name
of Borrower in connection with any such litigation, and Borrower agrees to execute any and all
powers, authorizations, consents and other documents required by Lender in connection therewith.
Borrower shall pay to Lender all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements) paid or incurred by Lender in connection with the prosecution or
conduct of any such proceedings within five (5) days after notice from Lender setting forth such
costs and expenses in reasonable detail. Any such costs or expenses not paid by Borrower as
aforesaid shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage, shall be added to the principal amount of
the Debt and shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate. Borrower shall not commence any
action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in respect of the
Principal Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of
Lender.
(k) Borrower shall immediately, after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Lender of any filing
by or against the Tenant of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall thereafter
forthwith give written notice of such filing to Lender, setting forth any information available to
Borrower as to the date of such filing, the court in which such petition was filed, and the relief
sought therein.
-43-
Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender following receipt any and all notices, summonses,
pleadings, applications and other documents received by Borrower in connection with any such
petition and any proceedings relating thereto.
(l) Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to send to Lender copies of all material notices
under the Principal Lease hereafter given or received by such person in connection therewith to
Lender in accordance with Section 5.5 hereof.
(m) Effective upon the entry of an order for relief in respect of Borrower under the
Bankruptcy Code, Borrower hereby assigns and transfers to Lender a non-exclusive right to apply to
the Bankruptcy Court under Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code for an order extending the
period during which the Principal Lease may be rejected or assumed.

Default” hereunder:
(a) Borrower or Borrower Parties fail to punctually perform any covenant, agreement,
obligation, term or condition of the Note, this Mortgage or any other Loan Document which requires
payment of any money to Lender, and (1) in the case of any Monthly Payment Amount due under the

(b) Borrower (i) fails to provide insurance as required by Section 1.4 hereof or (ii) fails to
perform any covenant, agreement, obligation, term or condition set forth in Section 1.5 hereof
(except to the extent that such lapse is due solely to a failure by Lender to pay the insurance
premiums after so requested by Borrower and sufficient funds are available therefore at such time
in the Impound Account) or (iii) fails to comply with Section 1.31 hereof.
(c) Borrower fails to perform any other covenant, agreement, obligation, term or condition set
forth herein other than those otherwise described in this Section 2.1 and, to the extent such
failure or default is susceptible of being cured, the continuance of such failure or default for
thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lender to Borrower; provided, however,
that if such default is susceptible of cure but such cure cannot be accomplished with reasonable
diligence within said period of time, and if Borrower commences to cure such default promptly after
receipt of notice thereof from Lender, and thereafter prosecutes the curing of such default with
reasonable diligence, such period of time shall be extended for such period of time as may be
necessary to cure such default with reasonable diligence, but not to exceed an additional sixty
(60) days.
(d) Any representation or warranty made herein, in or in connection with the Loan Application
or any commitment relating to the Loan (not correctly stated in the Loan Documents), or in any of

material respect at the time made.
-44-
(e) A Transfer, except as expressly permitted by Section 1.11 hereof.
(f) A default occurs under any of the other Loan Documents which has not been cured within any
applicable grace or cure period therein provided.
(g) Borrower, any Indemnitor, the sole member of Borrower or the Tenant, or any guarantor of

shall commence any case, proceeding or other action under any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, readjustment or debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction,
whether now or hereafter in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Lender shall
not deem the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by the Principal Tenant or any guarantor under the
Principal Lease to be an Event of Default provided (i) all excess cash flow is deposited
into the Excess Cash Flow Reserve (as that term is defined in Section 1.28 herein) until the
petition for bankruptcy against the Principal Tenant or any guarantor under the Principal Lease is
dismissed, or the reorganization plan proposed by the Principal Tenant or any guarantor under the
Principal Lease is confirmed by the bankruptcy court and (ii) the Principal Tenant or any guarantor
under the Principal Lease assumes the Principal Lease under the Bankruptcy Code and resumes making
monthly payments of rent under the Principal Lease.
(h) A petition is filed or any case, proceeding or other action is commenced against Borrower,
against any Indemnitor or against the sole member of Borrower, or the Principal Tenant or any
guarantor under the Principal Lease seeking to have an order for relief entered against it as
debtor or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition
of it or its debts or other relief under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement,
reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief under any law or statute of any jurisdiction
whether now or hereafter in effect or a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order for relief
against Borrower, against any Indemnitor, against the sole member of Borrower, or against the
Principal Tenant or any guarantor under the Principal Lease, as debtor, or an order, judgment or
decree is entered appointing, with or without the consent of Borrower, of any Indemnitor, of the
sole member of Borrower, a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar officer for Borrower, for any
such Indemnitor or the sole member of Borrower, for the Principal Tenant or any guarantor under the
Principal Lease, or for any substantial part of any of the properties of Borrower, any such
Indemnitor, the sole member of Borrower, or the Principal Tenant or any guarantor thereunder, and
if any such event shall occur, such petition, case, proceeding, action, order, judgment or decree
shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after being commenced. Notwithstanding the foregoing
to the contrary, Lender shall not deem the filing of a petition for bankruptcy against the
Principal Tenant or any guarantor under the Principal Lease to be an Event of Default
provided (i) all excess cash flow is deposited into the Excess Cash Flow Reserve (as that
term is defined in Section 1.28 herein) until the petition for bankruptcy against the Principal
Tenant or any guarantor under the Principal Lease is dismissed, or the reorganization plan proposed
by the Principal Tenant or any guarantor under the Principal Lease is confirmed by the bankruptcy

(j) Borrower abandons all or a portion (other than a de minimis portion) of the Property less
and except personalty in the ordinary course of business.
(k) The holder of any lien or security interest on the Property (without implying the consent
of Lender to the existence or creation of any such lien or security interest), whether superior or
subordinate to this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, declares a default and such
default is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period set forth in the applicable
document or such holder institutes foreclosure or other proceedings for the enforcement of its
remedies thereunder.
(l) The Property, or any part thereof, is subjected to actual physical waste or to removal,
demolition or material alteration so that the value of the Property is materially diminished
thereby.
(m) Any dissolution, termination, partial or complete liquidation, merger or consolidation of
Borrower, any Indemnitor or the sole member of Borrower or any Indemnitor, without the prior
written consent of Lender.
(n) If any Lease, sublease or sub-sublease shall be terminated, modified or amended without
the prior written consent of Lender, in violation of any of the Loan Documents.

any, under the Principal Lease without the prior written consent of Lender, or if any of the
interests or estates under the Principal Lease shall be surrendered by a party thereto or the
Principal Lease shall be terminated or cancelled for any reason or under any circumstances
whatsoever, or any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Principal Lease shall in any manner
be modified, changed, supplemented, altered or amended without the consent of Lender, in violation
of any of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Lender shall not deem
the termination or cancellation of the Principal Lease to be an Event of Default provided
Borrower continues to make monthly payments of rent due under the Principal Lease to Lender, with
the balance of any such funds, if any, being deposited by Lender into the Excess Cash Flow Reserve

Minnesota, or (ii) that certain Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement
given by SVMMC05 Toledo OH LLC (an affiliate of Borrower), to Lender dated of even date herewith
and intended to be recorded in Xxxxx County, Ohio (collectively, the “Other Mortgages”).

ARTICLE III
REMEDIES
REMEDIES
3.1 Remedies Available. If there shall occur an Event of Default under this Mortgage,
then the Property shall be subject to sale and this Mortgage shall be subject to foreclosure, all
as provided by law, and Lender may, at its option and by or through a trustee, nominee, assignee or
otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise any or all of the following rights,
remedies and recourses, either successively or concurrently:
(a) Acceleration. Accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any or all of
the Obligations to be immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest, notice,
or action of any kind whatever (each of which is hereby expressly waived by Borrower), whereupon
the same shall become immediately due and payable. Upon any such acceleration, payment of such
accelerated amount shall constitute a prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and any
applicable prepayment fee provided for in the Note shall then be immediately due and payable.
(b) Entry on the Property. Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any
action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without regard to the adequacy of
its security, enter upon and take possession of the Property, or any part thereof, without force or
with such force as is permitted by law and without notice or process or with such notice or process
as is required by law unless such notice and process is waivable, in which case Borrower hereby
waives such notice and process, and do any and all acts and perform any and all work which may be
desirable or necessary in Lender’s judgment to complete any unfinished construction on the Real
Estate, to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Property, to increase the income
therefrom, to manage and operate the Property or to protect the security hereof and all sums
expended by Lender therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, shall be
immediately due and payable to Lender by Borrower on demand.
(c) Collect Rents and Profits. With or without taking possession of the Property, xxx
or otherwise collect the Rents and Profits, including those past due and unpaid.
(d) Appointment of Receiver. Upon, or at any time prior to or after, initiating the
exercise of any power of sale, instituting any judicial foreclosure or instituting any other
foreclosure of the liens and security interests provided for herein or any other legal proceedings
hereunder, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver for
all or any part of the Property, as a matter of strict right and without notice to Borrower and
without regard to the adequacy of the Property for the repayment of the Obligations or the solvency
of Borrower or any person or persons liable for the payment of the Obligations, and Borrower hereby
irrevocably consent to such appointment, waives any and all notices of and defenses to such
appointment and agrees not to oppose any application therefor by Lender, but nothing herein is to
be construed to deprive Lender of any other right, remedy or privilege Lender may now have under
the law to have a receiver appointed, provided, however, that, the appointment of
such receiver, trustee or other appointee by virtue of any court order, statute or regulation shall
not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Lender to receive payment of the Rents and
Profits pursuant to other terms and provisions hereof. Any such receiver shall have all of the
usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including, without limitation, the full
power to hold, develop, rent, lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use
of the Property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be prudent and
reasonable under the circumstances as more fully set forth in Section 3.3 below. Such receivership
shall, at the option of Lender, continue until full payment of all of the Obligations or until
title to the Property shall have passed by foreclosure sale under this Mortgage or deed in lieu of
foreclosure.
-47-
(e) Foreclosure. Immediately commence an action to foreclose this Mortgage or to
specifically enforce its provisions or any of the Obligations pursuant to the statutes in such case
made and provided and sell the Property or cause the Property to be sold in accordance with the
requirements and procedures provided by said statutes in a single parcel or in several parcels at
the option of Lender.
(1) In the event foreclosure proceedings are filed by Lender, all expenses incident to such
proceeding, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be paid by Borrower and
secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note. The Obligations and all other obligations secured by this
Mortgage, including, without limitation, interest at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the
Note), any prepayment charge, fee or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay
principal (to the extent permitted by applicable law), attorneys’ fees and any other amounts due
and unpaid to Lender under the Loan Documents, may be bid by Lender in the event of a foreclosure
sale hereunder. In the event of a judicial sale pursuant to a foreclosure decree, it is understood
and agreed that Lender or its assigns may become the purchaser of the Property or any part thereof.
(2) Lender may, by following the procedures and satisfying the requirements prescribed by
applicable law, foreclose on only a portion of the Property and, in such event, said foreclosure
shall not affect the lien of this Mortgage on the remaining portion of the Property foreclosed.
(f) Rights under the Uniform Commercial Code. Exercise any or all of the remedies of
a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code against the UCC Collateral, either separately or
together, and in any order, without in any way affecting the availability of Lender’s other
remedies. Furthermore, to the extent permitted by law, in conjunction within, addition to or in
substitution for the rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to any applicable Uniform
Commercial Code: in the event of a foreclosure sale with respect to the portions of the Property
which are not UCC Collateral, the Property (including the UCC Collateral) may, at the option of
Lender, be sold as a whole or in parts, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion; and (2) it
shall not be necessary that (x) Lender take possession of the UCC Collateral, or any part thereof,
prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section is conducted, or (y) the
UCC Collateral, or any part thereof, be present at the location of such sale; and (3) Lender may
appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or
incident to any sale held by Lender, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale,
but in the name and on behalf of Lender.
(g) Other. Exercise any other right or remedy available (i) hereunder, including, but
not limited to, drawing upon the Letter of Credit, (ii) under any of the other Loan Documents,
(iii) under any of the Other Mortgages or (iv) at law or in equity.
3.2 Application of Proceeds. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the proceeds of
any sale under this Mortgage shall be applied to the extent funds are so available to the following
items in such order as Lender in its discretion may determine:
(a) To payment of the costs, expenses and fees of taking possession of the Property, and of
holding, operating, maintaining, using, leasing, repairing, improving, marketing and selling the
same and of otherwise enforcing Lender’s right and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, including, but not limited to, receivers’ fees, court costs, attorneys’, accountants’,
appraisers’, managers’ and other professional fees, title charges and transfer taxes.
(b) To payment of all sums expended by Lender under the terms of any of the Loan Documents and
not yet repaid, together with interest on such sums at the Default Interest Rate.
-48-
(c) To payment of the Obligations and all other obligations secured by this Mortgage,
including, without limitation, interest at the Default Interest Rate and, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, any prepayment fee, charge or premium required to be paid under the Note in
order to prepay principal, in any order that Lender chooses in its sole discretion.
The remainder, if any, of such funds shall be disbursed to Borrower or to the person or
persons legally entitled thereto.
3.3 Right and Authority of Receiver or Lender in the Event of Default; Power of
Attorney. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, and entry upon the Property
pursuant to Section 3.1(b) hereof or appointment of a receiver pursuant to Section 3.1(d) hereof,
and under such terms and conditions as may be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances in
Lender’s or the receiver’s sole discretion, all at Borrower’s expense, Lender or said receiver, or
such other persons or entities as they shall hire, direct or engage, as the case may be, may do or
permit one or more of the following, successively or concurrently: (a) enter upon and take
possession and control of any and all of the Property; (b) take and maintain possession of all
documents, books, records, papers and accounts relating to the Property; (c) exclude Borrower and
its agents, servants and employees wholly from the Property; (d) manage and operate the Property;
(e) preserve and maintain the Property; (f) make repairs and alterations to the Property; (g)
complete any construction or repair of the Improvements, with such changes, additions or
modifications of the plans and specifications or intended disposition and use of the Improvements
as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable to place the Property in such
condition as will, in Lender’s sole discretion, make it or any part thereof readily marketable or
rentable; (h) conduct a marketing or leasing program with respect to the Property, or employ a
marketing or leasing agent or agents to do so, directed to the leasing or sale of the Property
under such terms and conditions as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable;
(i) employ such contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects, engineers, consultants,
managers, brokers, marketing agents, or other employees, agents, independent contractors or
professionals, as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable to implement and
effectuate the rights and powers herein granted; (j) execute and deliver, in the name of Lender as
attorney-in-fact and agent of Borrower or in its own name as Lender, such documents and instruments
as are necessary or appropriate to consummate authorized transactions; (k) enter into such Leases,
whether of real or personal property, under such terms and conditions as Lender may in its sole
discretion deem appropriate or desirable; (l) collect and receive the Rents and Profits from the
Property; (m) eject Tenants or repossess personal property, as provided by law, for breaches of the
conditions of their Leases; (n) xxx for unpaid Rents and Profits, payments, income or proceeds in
the name of Borrower or Lender; (o) maintain actions in forcible entry and detainer, ejectment for
possession and actions in distress for rent; (p) compromise or give acquittance for Rents and
Profits, payments, income or proceeds that may become due; (q) delegate or assign any and all
rights and powers given to Lender by this Mortgage; and (r) do any acts which Lender in its sole
discretion deems appropriate or desirable to protect the security hereof and use such measures,
legal or equitable, as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable to implement
and effectuate the provisions of this Mortgage. After an Event of Default has occurred this
Mortgage shall constitute a direction to and full authority to any Tenant, lessee, or other third
party who has heretofore dealt or contracted or may hereafter deal or contract with Borrower or
Lender, at the request of Lender, to pay all amounts owing under any Lease, contract or other
agreement to Lender without proof of the Event of Default relied upon. Any such Tenant, lessee or
third party is hereby irrevocably authorized to rely upon and comply with (and shall be fully
protected by Borrower in so doing) any request, notice or demand by Lender for the payment to
Lender of any Rents and Profits or other sums which may be or thereafter become due under its
Lease, contract or other agreement, or for the performance of any undertakings under any such
Lease, contract or other agreement, and shall have no right or duty to inquire whether any Event of
Default under this Mortgage, or any default under any of the other Loan Documents, has actually
occurred or is then existing. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender, its assignees,
successors, transferees and
-49-
nominees, as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of
substitution in the Property, in Borrower’s name, place and stead, to do or permit any one or more
of the foregoing described rights, remedies, powers and authorities, successively or concurrently,
and said power of attorney shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long
as any Obligations is outstanding. Any money advanced by Lender in connection with any action
taken under this Section 3.3, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the
date of making such advancement by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be a demand
obligation owing by Borrower to Lender.
3.4 Occupancy After Foreclosure. In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder
and at the time of such sale, Borrower or Borrower’s representatives, successors or assigns, or any
other persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Borrower (except tenants
of space in the Improvements subject to Leases entered into prior to the date hereof), are
occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, then, to the extent not prohibited by
applicable law, each and all shall, at the option of Lender or the purchaser at such sale, as the
case may be, immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a
tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will of either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable
rental per day based upon the value of the Property occupied or used, such rental to be due daily
to the purchaser. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event the tenant
fails to surrender possession of the Property upon the termination of such tenancy, the purchaser
shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for unlawful detainer of the Property in the
appropriate court of the county in which the Real Estate is located.
3.5 Notice to Account Debtors. Lender may, at any time after an Event of Default
hereunder, notify the account debtors and obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable
instruments or other evidences of indebtedness, to Borrower included in the Property to pay Lender
directly. Borrower shall at any time or from time to time upon the request of Lender provide to
Lender a current list of all such account debtors and obligors and their addresses.
3.6 Cumulative Remedies. All remedies contained in this Mortgage are cumulative and
Lender shall also have all other remedies provided at law and in equity or in any other Loan
Documents. Such remedies may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently at the sole
subjective direction of Lender and may be exercised in any order and as often as occasion therefor
shall arise. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any particular
provisions of this Mortgage to the exclusion of any other provision of this Mortgage or as an
election of remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter be available
to Lender. No delay or failure by Lender to exercise any right or remedy under this Mortgage shall
be construed to be a waiver of that right or remedy or of any Event of Default hereunder. Lender
may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies at its option without regard to the
adequacy of its security.
3.7 Payment of Expenses. Borrower shall pay on demand all of Lender’s third party out
of pocket expenses incurred in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Mortgage, whether or not
any lawsuit is filed and whether or not foreclosure is commenced but not completed, including, but
not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements, foreclosure costs and title charges,
together with interest thereon from and after the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by
Borrower at the Default Interest Rate. Furthermore, Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify
Lender for, and hold Lender harmless from, any and all losses, costs, expenses, claims, actions,
demands liabilities, loss or damage which may or might be incurred by Lender under this Mortgage or
by the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder, and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever
which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on
Lender’s part with respect to the Property except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents,
other than those finally determined to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Lender. Borrower’s obligation pursuant to the previous sentence shall include,
without limitation, payment to (or reimbursement of) any compensation
-50-
payable by the holder of the Loan to any servicing agent under a Secondary Market Transaction
pursuant to the Securitization Documents (as defined herein) if such payment becomes due solely by
reason of the existence and continuance of any Event of Default. Should Lender incur any such
liability, the amount thereof, including, without limitation, costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees,
together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until
actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender from Borrower on demand.

in accordance with the provisions hereof, the parties hereto shall have the right from time to time
to change their respective addresses and each shall have the right to specify as its address any
other address within the United States of America.
5.6 Successors and Assigns. The terms, provisions, indemnities, covenants and
conditions hereof shall be binding upon Borrower and the successors and assigns of Borrower,
including all successors in interest of Borrower in and to all or any part of the Property, and
shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns, and shall constitute covenants
running with the land. All indemnities in this Mortgage for the benefit of Lender shall inure to
the benefit of Lender and each of its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members,
managers, employees and agents (including, without limitation, any servicers retained by Lender
with respect to the Loan), and pledgees and participants of the Obligations, and their respective
successors and assigns. All references in this Mortgage to Borrower or Lender shall be deemed to
include each such party’s successors and assigns. If Borrower consists of more than one person or
entity, each will be jointly and severally liable to perform the obligations of Borrower.
5.7 Severability. A determination that any provision of this Mortgage is
unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision,
and any determination that the application of any provision of this Mortgage to any person or
circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such
provision as it may apply to any other persons or circumstances.
5.8 Interpretation. Within this Mortgage, words of any gender shall be held and
construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular shall be held and construed to
include the plural, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The headings of the
sections and paragraphs of this Mortgage are for convenience of reference only, are not to be
considered a part hereof and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. In the
event of any inconsistency between the provisions hereof and the provisions in any of the other
Loan Documents, it is intended that the provisions of this Mortgage shall be controlling.
5.9 Waiver: Discontinuance of Proceedings. Lender may waive any single Event of
Default by Borrower hereunder without waiving any other prior or subsequent Event of Default.
Lender may remedy any Event of Default by Borrower hereunder without waiving the Event of Default
remedied. Neither the failure by Lender to exercise, nor the delay by Lender in exercising, any
right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default by Borrower hereunder shall be construed as a
waiver of such Event of Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or
remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every
such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No
modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose given. No notice to nor demand on Borrower in any case shall of itself entitle Borrower to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Acceptance by Lender of
any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any of the Obligations shall be deemed an
acceptance on account only and shall not in any way affect the existence of a Default or an Event
of Default hereunder. In case Lender shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse
permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or
abandon the same for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an
event, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the
Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses
and powers of Lender shall continue as if the same had never been invoked.

termination is asserted. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or
termination which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.
5.28 Maximum Interest. The provisions of Section 2.03 of the Note are incorporated in
this Mortgage by reference as if more fully set forth herein.
5.29 Secondary Market Transaction.
(a) Cooperation. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may effectuate a Secondary Market
Transaction. Borrower shall cooperate in good faith with Lender in effecting any such Secondary
Market Transaction and shall cooperate in good faith to implement all requirements imposed by any
Investor (as defined herein) or Rating Agency involved therein, including, without limitation, all
structural or other changes to Borrower and/or the Obligations, and modifications to any Loan
Documents; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to spend more than $1,000.00 in
cooperating to effectuate any such Secondary Market Transaction, and the Borrower shall not be
required to modify any Loan Documents if such modification would (A) increase the interest rate
payable under the Note, (B) shorten the period until the stated maturity of the Note, (C) modify
the amortization of principal of the Note, or (D) modify any other material term of the
Obligations. Borrower shall provide such information and documents relating to Borrower, any
Indemnitor, the Property and any Tenants as Lender may reasonably request in connection with such
Secondary Market Transaction. Borrower shall make available to Lender all information concerning
its business and operations that Lender may reasonably request.
(b) Disclosure; Indemnification. Lender shall be permitted to share all information
provided in connection with the Loan with the Investors, Rating Agencies, investment banking firms,
accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory firms involved with the Loan Documents
or the applicable Secondary Market Transaction. It is understood that the information provided to
Lender in connection with the Loan may ultimately be incorporated into the offering documents for
the Secondary
-56-
Market Transaction and thus potential Investors may also see some or all of the information
with respect to the Loan, the Property, Borrower and the holders of direct or indirect interests in
Borrower. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under any applicable laws
(including, without limitation, any right of privacy) to prohibit such disclosure. Lender and all
of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms shall be entitled to rely on the
information supplied by, or on behalf of, Borrower. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender as to any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the information provided by or on behalf
of Borrower, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated in such information, or necessary in order to make the
statements in such information, or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. Lender may publicize the existence of the Obligations in connection with its marketing
for a Secondary Market Transaction or otherwise as part of its business development.
(c) Borrower acknowledges that, as part of the documents creating and governing any Secondary
Market Transaction in which the Loan (or any portion of or interest in the Loan) may be included
(the “Securitization Documents”), the parties to such Secondary Market Transaction may, in their
sole discretion, elect to impose certain requirements as conditions precedent to certain actions by
one or more of the servicing agents appointed with respect to the Loan (including, without
limitation, that such servicing agent obtain written confirmation from each applicable Rating
Agency that the proposed action will not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any
rating issued on securities evidencing an ownership interest in the Loan that was in effect
immediately prior to such proposed action). No requirement or condition imposed upon such
servicing agent pursuant to such Securitization Documents as a condition precedent to the granting
or denying of any consent or approval, or the taking or refusal to take of any action, pursuant to
this Mortgage (except only for any action required of Lender hereunder) shall give rise to any
claim or cause of action by Borrower against Lender, or give Borrower any defense for failure to
perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. Borrower further acknowledges that the cost of
any such rating confirmation required by the Securitization Documents shall be payable by Borrower.
(d) Definitions: A “Secondary Market Transaction” shall be (1) any sale of the
Mortgage, Note and other Loan Documents to one or more investors as a whole loan, (2) a
participation of the Obligations to one or more investors, (3) a securitization of the Loan, (4)
any other sale or transfer of the Obligations or any interest therein to one or more investors.
“Rating Agency” shall mean any nationally-recognized statistical rating organization that has been
designated by Lender to provide, or that provides, a rating on Borrower, the Loan or any securities
evidencing an interest in, inter alia, a trust or other entity which is the holder
of the Note. “Investor” shall mean any actual or potential purchaser, transferee, assignee,

(c) The Letter of Credit shall be drawable (with partial draws permitted) by Lender solely
upon the presentment to the issuer of a sight draft, demanding such payment, and accompanying draw

notice (the “Non-Renewal Notice”) to Lender by certified mail, return receipt requested,
not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the then-current expiration
date of the Letter of Credit, stating that the Issuing Bank has elected not to renew such Letter of

(e) The Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole and
absolute discretion.
(f) Borrower hereby pledges to Lender all of its rights in and to the Letter of Credit and any
proceeds thereof, as additional security for the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note
and secured, in part, by the Mortgage, including without limitation all expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), taxes, and all transfer, recordings, filing and other

of Credit to payment of the Obligations in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may
determine. Any such application to the Obligations shall be subject to the Yield Maintenance
Charge (as defined in the Note). On the Stated Maturity Date, any such Letter of Credit may be
applied to reduce the Obligations.
(i) In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to
the terms and conditions of this Mortgage, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full
any Letter of Credit: (i) with respect to any evergreen Letter of Credit, if Lender has received a
notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter
of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding
Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) with respect to any Letter of Credit with a stated
expiration date, if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the
Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is
scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days
prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon
receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the
termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided); or (iv) if Lender has received notice that
the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution (as defined by ISP
1998). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to
draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)
above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the
bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.
5.32 State Specific Provisions. Notwithstanding anything foregoing to the contrary,
the following provisions shall govern the rights of the parties to this Mortgage:
A. Massachusetts Statutory References. This Mortgage is intended to
constitute: (i) a mortgage deed under Massachusetts General Laws c. 183, §18, (ii) a
security agreement and financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and (iii) a notice of assignment of rents or profits
under Massachusetts General Laws C. 183 §4. This Mortgage is also intended to operate and
be construed as an absolute present assignment of the rents, issues and profits of the
Mortgaged Property, Borrower hereby agreeing, as provided for in Massachusetts General Laws
C. 183, §26, that Lender is entitled to receive the rents, issues and profits of the
Mortgaged Property prior to an Event of Default and without entering upon or taking
possession of the Mortgaged Property.
-59-
B. Statutory Condition. This Mortgage is granted by Borrower WITH MORTGAGE
COVENANTS, and upon the STATUTORY CONDITION, and upon the further condition that all
covenants and agreements of, and conditions imposed upon, the Borrower contained herein and
in the Note and the other obligations secured hereby shall be kept and fully performed, for
any breach of which that is not cured within the applicable cure period following the giving
of notice thereof if required, Lender shall have the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE.
C. Security Agreement. (a) Insofar as any item of property included in the
Mortgaged Property which is or might be deemed to be “personal property” is concerned, this
Mortgage is hereby made and declared to be a security agreement, granting a security
interest in and to each and every item of Collateral in compliance with the provisions of
the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A financing
statement or statements reciting this Mortgage to be a security agreement, covering all of
the Collateral, shall be executed by Borrower and Lender and appropriately filed. Borrower
further covenants and agrees that from time to time upon the request of Lender and upon the
subsequent acquisition of any Collateral, Borrower shall (i) provide Lender with a precise
inventory of the same, as and when acquired, (ii) execute and deliver to Lender, in form
appropriate for recording and filing, a more comprehensive first security agreement, and
financing statements, on all such Collateral, (iii) provide to Lender such other assurances
as may reasonably be required by Lender to establish Lender’s first and prior security
interest in such Collateral, and (iv) execute, deliver and cause to be recorded and filed
from time to time and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, continuances and such other
instruments as will maintain Lender’s priority of security in the Collateral. The remedies
for any violation of the covenants, terms and condition of the security agreement herein
contained (which violation is not cured within the applicable cure period(s) provided
herein) shall be (i) as prescribed herein, or (ii) as prescribed by general law, or (iii) as
prescribed by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted and specified in
said Uniform Commercial Code, all at Lender’s sole election. Borrower and Lender agree that
the filing of such financing statement(s) in the records normally having to do with personal
property shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this
declaration and hereby stated intention of Borrower and Lender that everything used in
connection with the product of income from the Mortgaged Property and/or adapted for use
therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Mortgage, is, and at all times and
for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable shall be, regarded as part
of the real estate irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the
Premises or the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of
certain items capable of being thus identified in a recital contained herein, or (iii) any
such financing statement(s) so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such
financing statement(s) of the rights in and to the proceeds of any hazard insurance policy,
or any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for the loss of value, or
interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use
and/or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall
never be construed as in any way altering any of the rights of Lender as determined by this
instrument or impugning the priority of Lender’s lien granted hereby or by any other
recorded document, but such mention in such financing statement(s) is declared to be for the
protection of Lender in the event any court shall at any time hold, with respect to any such
matter, that notice of Lender’s priority of interest, to be effective against a particular
class of persons, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records. Borrower warrants

Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower will furnish Lender with notice of any change in
name, identity, organizational structure, residence or principal place of business within
(30) days of the effective date of any such change and Borrower will promptly execute any
financing statements or other instruments deemed necessary by Lender to prevent any filed
financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status. The
information contained in this Section is provided in order that this mortgage shall comply

(b) Any sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be at public or private sale, to the

as enacted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, upon such terms and in such manner as
Lender deems advisable. Lender may conduct any such sale or other disposition of the
Mortgaged Property upon the Premises in which event Lender shall not be liable for any rent
or charge for such use of the Premises. Lender may purchase the Mortgaged Property, or any
portion of it, at any sale held under this Section. With respect to any Collateral to be
sold pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, Lender shall give Borrower at least seven (7)
days’ prior written notice of the date, time and place of any proposed public sale, or such
additional notice as may be required under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
and of the date after which any private sale or other disposition may be made. Lender may
sell any of the Collateral as part of the real estate comprising the Mortgaged Property, or
any portion or unit thereof, at the foreclosure sale or sales conducted pursuant hereto. If
the provisions of the Uniformed Commercial Code are applicable to any part of the Collateral
which is to be sold in combination with or as part of the real estate comprising the
Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, at one or more foreclosure sales, any notice
required under such provisions shall be fully satisfied by the notice given in execution of
the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE with respect to the real estate or any part thereof. In the
event all or part of the Mortgaged Property is included at any foreclosure sale conducted
pursuant hereto, a single total price for the Mortgaged Property, or such part thereof as is
sold, may be accepted by Lender with no obligation to distinguish between the application of
such proceeds among the property comprising the Mortgaged Property.
