This Mortgage constitutes a Security Agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Property is located (the “Code”) with respect to any part of the Property, Chattels and Intangible Personalty that may or might now or hereafter be or be deemed to be personal property, fixtures or property other than real estate (all collectively hereinafter called “Collateral”); all of the terms, provisions, conditions and agreements contained in this Mortgage pertain and apply to the Collateral as fully and to the same extent as to any other property comprising the Property, and the following provisions of this Section shall not limit the generality or applicability of any other provisions of this Mortgage but shall be in addition thereto:

7
where the Property is located shall constitute a fixture filing in accordance with the Code. Information concerning the security interests created hereby may be obtained at the addresses set forth in Article 1 of this Mortgage.

If the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, determines that the funds reserved hereunder are, or will be, insufficient, Mortgagor shall upon demand pay such additional sums as Mortgagee shall determine necessary and shall pay any increased monthly charges requested by Mortgagee. Provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, Mortgagee will apply the amounts so deposited to the payment of such taxes, assessments, and other charges when due, but in no event will Mortgagee be liable for any interest on any amount so deposited, and any amount so deposited may be held and commingled with Mortgagee’s own funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.4(b), the initial Mortgagor named herein shall only be required to deposit Tax Reserves with Mortgagee following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
(c) Intangible Taxes. If by reason of any statutory or constitutional amendment or judicial decision adopted or rendered after the date hereof, any tax, assessment, or similar charge is imposed against the Note, Mortgagee, or any interest of Mortgagee in any real or personal property encumbered hereby, Mortgagor will pay such tax, assessment, or other charge before delinquency and will indemnify Mortgagee against all loss, expense, or diminution of income in connection therewith. In the event Mortgagor is unable to do so, either for economic reasons or because the legal provisions or decisions creating such tax, assessment or charge forbid Mortgagor from doing so, then the Note will, at Mortgagee’s option, become due and payable in full upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Mortgagor.
(d) Right to Contest. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, Mortgagor will not be deemed to be in default solely by reason of Mortgagor’s failure to pay any tax, assessment or similar governmental charge so long as, in Mortgagee’s judgment, each of the following conditions is satisfied:
(i) Mortgagor is engaged in and diligently pursuing in good faith administrative or judicial proceedings appropriate to contest the validity or amount of such tax, assessment, or charge; and
13
(ii) Mortgagor’s payment of such tax, assessment, or charge would necessarily and materially prejudice Mortgagor’s prospects for success in such proceedings; and
(iii) Nonpayment of such tax, assessment, or charge will not result in the loss or forfeiture of any property encumbered hereby or any interest of Mortgagee therein; and
(iv) Mortgagor deposits with Mortgagee, as security for such payment which may ultimately be required, a sum equal to the amount of the disputed tax, assessment or charge plus the interest, penalties, advertising charges, and other costs which Mortgagee estimates are likely to become payable if Mortgagor’s contest is unsuccessful.
If Mortgagee determines that any one or more of such conditions is not satisfied or is no longer satisfied, Mortgagor will pay the tax, assessment, or charge in question, together with any interest and penalties thereon, within fifteen (15) days after Mortgagee gives notice of such determination.
4.5 Maintenance of Insurance.
(a) Coverages Required. Mortgagor shall maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations satisfactory to Mortgagee, all insurance required under the terms of the Insurance Agreement, and shall comply with each and every covenant and agreement contained in the Insurance Agreement.
(b) Renewal Policies. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of each insurance policy required pursuant to the Insurance Agreement, Mortgagor will deliver to Mortgagee an appropriate renewal policy (or a certified copy thereof), together with evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that the applicable premium has been prepaid.
(c) Deposit for Premiums. On or before the date hereof, Mortgagor shall deposit with Mortgagee an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount which Mortgagee estimates will be required to make the next annual payments of the premiums for the policies of insurance referred to in this Section (the “Insurance Reserves”), multiplied by the number of whole and partial months which have elapsed since the date one month prior to the most recent policy anniversary date for each such policy. Thereafter, with each monthly payment under the Note, Mortgagor will deposit an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount which Mortgagee estimates will be required to pay the next required annual premium for each insurance policy referred to in this Section. The purpose of these provisions is to provide Mortgagee with
14
sufficient funds on hand to pay all such premiums thirty (30) days before the date on which they become past due. If the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, determines that the funds reserved hereunder are, or will be, insufficient, Mortgagor shall upon demand pay such additional sums as Mortgagee shall determine necessary and shall pay any increased monthly charges requested by Mortgagee. Provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, Mortgagee will apply the amounts so deposited to the payment of such insurance premiums when due, but in no event will Mortgagee be liable for any interest on any amounts so deposited, and the money so received may be held and commingled with Mortgagee’s own funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.5(c), the initial Mortgagor named herein shall only be required to deposit Insurance Reserves with Mortgagee following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
(d) Application of Hazard Insurance Proceeds. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of any damage or casualty to all or any portion of the Property or Chattels. Mortgagee may participate in all negotiations and appear and participate in all judicial arbitration proceedings concerning any insurance proceeds which may be payable as a result of such casualty or damage, and may, in Mortgagee’s sole discretion, compromise or settle, in the name of Mortgagee, Mortgagor, or both any claim for any such insurance proceeds. Any such insurance proceeds shall be paid to Mortgagee and shall be applied first to reimburse Mortgagee for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the collection of such insurance proceeds. The balance of any insurance proceeds received by Mortgagee with respect to an insured casualty may, in Mortgagee’s sole discretion, either (i) be retained and applied by Mortgagee toward payment of the Secured Obligations, or (ii) be paid over, in whole or in part and subject to such conditions as Mortgagee may impose, to Mortgagor to pay for repairs or replacements necessitated by the casualty; provided, however, that if all of the Secured Obligations have been performed or are discharged by the application of less than all of such insurance proceeds, then any remaining proceeds will be paid over to Mortgagor. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if (A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist hereunder, and (B) the proceeds received by Mortgagee (together with any other funds delivered by Mortgagor to Mortgagee for such purpose) shall be sufficient, in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, to pay for any restoration necessitated by the casualty, and (C) the cost of such restoration shall not exceed $100,000.00, and (D) such restoration can be completed, in Mortgagee’s judgment, at least ninety (90) days prior to the maturity date of the Note, then Mortgagee shall apply such proceeds as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. Mortgagee will have no obligation to see to the proper application of any insurance proceeds paid over to Mortgagor, nor will any such proceeds received by Mortgagee bear interest or be subject to any other charge for the benefit of Mortgagor. Mortgagee may, prior to the application of insurance proceeds, commingle them with Mortgagee’s own funds and otherwise act with regard to such proceeds as Mortgagee may determine in Mortgagee’s sole discretion.
(e) Successor’s Rights. Any person who acquires title to the Property or the Chattels upon foreclosure hereunder will succeed to all of Mortgagor’s rights under all policies of insurance maintained pursuant to this Section.
4.6 Maintenance and Repair of Property and Chattels. Mortgagor will at all times maintain the Property and the Chattels in good condition and repair, will diligently prosecute the completion of any building or other improvement which is at any time in the
15
process of construction on the Property, and will promptly repair, restore, replace, or rebuild any part of the Property or the Chattels which may be affected by any casualty or any public or private taking or injury to the Property or the Chattels. All costs and expenses arising out of the foregoing shall be paid by Mortgagor whether or not the proceeds of any insurance or eminent domain shall be sufficient therefor. Mortgagor will comply with all statutes, ordinances, and other governmental or quasi-governmental requirements and private covenants relating to the ownership, construction, use, or operation of the Property, including but not limited to any environmental or ecological requirements; provided, that so long as Mortgagor is not otherwise in default hereunder, Mortgagor may, upon providing Mortgagee with security reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, proceed diligently and in good faith to contest the validity or applicability of any such statute, ordinance, or requirement. Mortgagee and any person authorized by Mortgagee may enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times, and may inspect the Chattels, wherever located, at all reasonable times.
4.7 Leases. Mortgagor shall timely pay and perform each of its obligations under or in connection with the Leases, and shall otherwise pay such sums and take such action as shall be necessary or required in order to maintain each of the Leases in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Mortgagor shall make reasonable efforts to promptly furnish to Mortgagee copies of any notices given to Mortgagor by the lessee under any Lease, alleging the default by Mortgagor in the timely payment or performance of its obligations under such Lease and any subsequent communication related thereto. Mortgagor shall also promptly furnish to Mortgagee copies of any notices given to Mortgagor by the lessee under any Lease, extending the term of any Lease, requiring or demanding the expenditure of any sum by Mortgagor (or demanding the taking of any action by Mortgagor), or relating to any other material obligation of Mortgagor under such Lease and any subsequent communication related thereto. Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may advance any sum or take any action which Mortgagee believes is necessary or required to maintain the Leases in full force and effect, and all such sums advanced by Mortgagee, together with all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with action taken by Mortgagee pursuant to this Section, shall be due and payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee upon demand, shall bear interest until paid at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), and shall be secured by this Mortgage.
4.8 Eminent Domain; Private Damage. If all or any part of the Property is taken or damaged by eminent domain or any other public or private action, Mortgagor will notify Mortgagee promptly of the time and place of all meetings, hearings, trials, and other proceedings relating to such action. Mortgagee may participate in all negotiations and appear and participate in all judicial or arbitration proceedings concerning any award or payment which may be due as a result of such taking or damage, and may, in Mortgagee’s reasonable discretion, compromise or settle, in the names of both Mortgagor and Mortgagee, any claim for any such award or payment. Any such award or payment is to be paid to Mortgagee and will be applied first to reimburse Mortgagee for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the ascertainment and collection of such award or payment. The balance, if any, of such award or payment may, in Mortgagee’s sole discretion, either (a) be retained by Mortgagee and applied toward the Secured Obligations, or (b) be paid over, in whole or in part and subject to such conditions as Mortgagee may impose, to Mortgagor for the purpose of restoring, repairing, or rebuilding any part of the Property affected by the taking or damage. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
16
and be continuing hereunder, and (ii) the proceeds received by Mortgagee (together with any other funds delivered by Mortgagor to Mortgagee for such purpose) shall be sufficient, in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, to pay for any restoration necessitated by the taking or damage, and (iii) the cost of such restoration shall not exceed $100,000.00, and (iv) such restoration can be completed, in Mortgagee’s judgment, at least ninety (90) days prior to the maturity date of the Note, and (v) the remaining Property shall constitute, in Mortgagee’s sole judgment, adequate security for the Secured Obligations, then Mortgagee shall apply such proceeds as provided in clause (b) of the preceding sentence. Mortgagor’s duty to pay the Note in accordance with its terms and to perform the other Secured Obligations will not be suspended by the pendency or discharged by the conclusion of any proceedings for the collection of any such award or payment, and any reduction in the Secured Obligations resulting from Mortgagee’s application of any such award or payment will take effect only when Mortgagee receives such award or payment. If this Mortgage has been foreclosed prior to Mortgagee’s receipt of such award or payment, Mortgagee may nonetheless retain such award or payment to the extent required to reimburse Mortgagee for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith, and to discharge any deficiency remaining with respect to the Secured Obligations.
4.9 Mechanics’ Liens. Mortgagor will keep the Property free and clear of all liens and claims of liens by contractors, subcontractors, mechanics, laborers, materialmen, and other such persons, and will cause any recorded statement of any such lien to be released of record within thirty (30) days after the recording thereof or such earlier date as may be necessary to stop a foreclosure thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, Mortgagor will not be deemed to be in default under this Section if (i) the aggregate amount of any asserted liens does not exceed $100,000.00, or (ii) to the extent such liens exceed $100,000.00, Mortgagor provides Mortgagee with such security as Mortgagee may require to protect Mortgagee against all loss, damage and expense which Mortgagee may incur as a result of such liens in excess of $100,000.00, which security may consist of Mortgagor causing such liens in excess of $100,000.00 to be bonded over or insured over. Any initiation of proceedings to foreclose on any such lien, however, shall constitute a Default.
4.10 Defense of Actions. Mortgagor will defend, at Mortgagor’s expense, any action, proceeding or claim which affects any property encumbered hereby or any interest of Mortgagee in such property or in the Secured Obligations, and will indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from all loss, damage, cost, or expense, including attorneys’ fees, which Mortgagee may incur in connection therewith.
4.11 Expenses of Enforcement. Mortgagor will pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which Mortgagee may incur in connection with any effort or action (whether or not litigation or foreclosure is involved) to enforce or defend Mortgagee’s rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents, including but not limited to all attorneys’ fees, appraisal fees, consultants’ fees, and other expenses incurred by Mortgagee in securing title to or possession of, and realizing upon, any security for the Secured Obligations. All such costs and expenses (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred) shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations, and may be included in the computation of the amount owed to Mortgagee for purposes of foreclosing or otherwise enforcing this Mortgage.
17
4.12 Financial Reports. During the term of the Loan, Mortgagor shall supply to Mortgagee (a) within forty-five (45) days following the end of each quarter, Mortgagor’s quarterly and annual operating statements for the Property as of the end of and for the preceding quarter and fiscal year, as applicable, in each case prepared consistent with the form of operating statements delivered to Mortgagee by Mortgagor prior to the date of this Mortgage; (b) contemporaneously with Mortgagor’s delivery of each of such operating statements, a certified rent roll signed and dated by Mortgagor in the form delivered to Mortgagee prior to the date of this Mortgage; and (c) within ninety (90) days following the end of each year, an annual balance sheet and profit and loss statement of Mortgagor. The financial statements and reports described in (a) and (c) above shall be in the detail set forth in the financial statements delivered to Mortgagee by Mortgagor prior to the date of this Mortgage, shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and shall be certified as true and correct by Mortgagor (or, if required by Mortgagee during the continuation of an Event of Default or if required to comply with regulatory requirements to which Mortgagee may be subject, by an independent certified public accountant acceptable to Mortgagee). Mortgagor shall also furnish to Mortgagee within forty-five (45) days of Mortgagee’s request, any other financial reports or statements of Mortgagor as Mortgagee may reasonably request to comply with regulatory requirements to which Mortgagee may be subject, or as requested by Mortgagee in its sole discretion during the continuation of an Event of Default. Upon Mortgagee’s demand after any Event of Default, or if Mortgagee securitizes the Loan, Mortgagor shall supply to Mortgagee the items required in (a) and (b) above on a monthly basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as KBS Industrial Portfolio, LLC is Mortgagor, any request or requirement that Mortgagor deliver audited financials certified by an independent certified public accountant may be satisfied by delivery of the audited financials for KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.
4.13 Priority of Leases. To the extent Mortgagor has the right, under the terms of any Lease, to make such lease subordinate to the lien hereof, Mortgagor will, at Mortgagee’s request and Mortgagor’s expense, take such action as may be required to effect such subordination. Conversely, Mortgagor will, at Mortgagee’s request and Mortgagor’s expense, take such action as may be necessary to subordinate the lien hereof to any future Lease designated by Mortgagee.
4.14 Inventories; Assembly of Chattels. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, Mortgagor will at Mortgagee’s request assemble the Chattels and make them available to Mortgagee at any place designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.
4.15 Compliance with Laws, Etc. Mortgagor shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, such compliance to include, without limitation, maintaining all Permits and paying before the same become delinquent all taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed upon Mortgagor or the Property.
4.16 Records and Books of Account. Mortgagor shall keep accurate and complete records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions relating to the Property.
18
4.17 Inspection Rights. At any reasonable time, and from time to time, Mortgagor shall permit Mortgagee, or any agents or representatives thereof, to examine and make copies of and abstracts from the records and books of account of, and visit and inspect the Property and to discuss with Mortgagor the affairs, finances and accounts of Mortgagor.
4.18 Change of Mortgagor’s Address or State of Organization. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee if changes are made in Mortgagor’s address from that set forth in Section 9.10 hereof, or if Mortgagor shall either change its “location” (as such term is used in Section 5.8 hereof), its state of organization or if Mortgagor shall organize in any state other than the State of Delaware.
4.19 Further Assurances; Estoppel Certificates. Mortgagor will execute and deliver to Mortgagee upon demand, and pay the costs of preparation and recording thereof, any further documents which Mortgagee may request to confirm or perfect the liens and security interests created or intended to be created hereby, or to confirm or perfect any evidence of the Secured Obligations. Mortgagor will also, within ten (10) days after any request by Mortgagee, deliver to Mortgagee a signed and acknowledged statement certifying to Mortgagee, or to any proposed transferee of the Secured Obligations, (a) the balance of principal, interest, and other sums then outstanding under the Note, and (b) whether Mortgagor claims to have any offsets or defenses with respect to the Secured Obligations and, if so, the nature of such offsets or defenses.
4.20 Costs of Closing. Mortgagor shall on demand pay directly or reimburse Mortgagee for any actual costs or expenses pertaining to the closing of the Loan, including, but not limited to, fees of counsel for Mortgagee, costs and expenses for which invoices were not available at the closing of the Loan, or costs and expenses which are incurred by Mortgagee after such closing, including, without limitation, costs or expenses incurred to obtain originals or copies of recorded or filed Loan Documents and UCC financing statements. All such costs and expenses (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee) shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations, and may be included in the computation of the amount owed to Mortgagee for purposes of foreclosing or otherwise enforcing this Mortgage.
4.21 Fund for Electronic Transfer. All monthly payments of principal and interest on the Note, and escrow deposits, if any, under this Mortgage, shall be made by Mortgagor by electronic funds transfer from a bank account established and maintained by Mortgagor for such purpose. Mortgagor shall establish and maintain such an account until the Note is fully paid and shall direct the depository of such account in writing to so transmit such payments on or before the respective due dates to the account of Mortgagee as shall be designated by Mortgagee in writing.
4.22 Use. Mortgagor shall use the Property solely for the operation of an office complex, and for no other use or purpose.
4.23 Management. The Property shall be managed by CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Inc. (“Property Manager”) under a management agreement previously delivered to, and approved, by Mortgagee (the “Management Agreement”). If Mortgagor shall terminate or permit any amendment to or modification of the Management Agreement, or permit management of the
19
Property by any person or entity other than Property Manager (“New Property Manager”), Mortgagor shall promptly provide Mortgagee with notice thereof and any such New Property Manager shall have management expertise in managing properties similar in size and type to the Property. Mortgagee hereby approves any of the following as New Property Managers: Xxxxx Lang and PM Realty Group. Following a transfer of the Property by the initial Mortgagor named herein pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4(c), below, Mortgagee’s prior written consent shall be required for (a) any termination or modification of the Management Agreement, (b) management of the Property by any person or entity other than Property Manager, and (c) any leasing agreement affecting the Property entered into by Mortgagor and any termination or modification of any such leasing agreement.
4.24 Secondary Market Transactions. Mortgagee shall have the right at any time: (a) to participate, syndicate or securitize all or any portion of its interest in the Loan, (b) to cause the Loan to be split into senior and one or more junior or mezzanine Loans in whatever proportion Mortgagee deems appropriate (which Loans may be secured by mortgages, deeds of trust and/or a pledge of direct or indirect partnership or membership interests in Mortgagor), and (c) to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) or multiple components of such note or notes, and thereafter to sell, assign, participate, syndicate or securitize all or any part of any variant of the Loan (any of the foregoing, a “Secondary Market Transaction”). Mortgagor shall cooperate with Mortgagee to facilitate any Secondary Market Transaction and the rating of the Loan (or any resulting variant thereof) and of each securitization in which one or more Loans are included; provided that Mortgagor shall not be required to (i) incur any out-of-pocket expense in connection therewith unless Mortgagee agrees to pay for such out-of-pocket expenses as they are incurred by Mortgagor, (ii) agree to a modification of any Loan document, or (iii) take any actions that would impose a significant burden on Mortgagor, including, without limitation, requesting executives of Mortgagor or other executives of entities holding an interest (direct or indirect) in Mortgagor to participate in any form of presentation regarding the Property or the Loans. Mortgagor’s cooperation obligation shall continue until the Loan has been sold through a Secondary Market Transaction.
4.25 Cash Management. Following any transfer of the Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4(c), below, or at any time after the closing of the Loan upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall establish an account (the “Clearing Account”) under the sole dominion and control of Mortgagee at a bank (the “Clearing Bank”) into which all proceeds from the Property will be deposited during the Loan term. The Clearing Bank will be selected by Mortgagor but must be acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall be required to notify each tenant of the Property to remit all amounts due with respect to the Property directly to the Clearing Account. Unless a Cash Management Period (as defined below) is continuing, all funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank into Mortgagor’s operating account at the Clearing Bank. There shall be no restrictions on Mortgagor’s use of the operating account. During the continuance of a Cash Management Period, funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be transferred by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into a deposit account (the “Deposit Account”) under the sole dominion and control of the Mortgagee at a bank selected by Mortgagee (the “Deposit Bank”). All funds in the Deposit Account shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to be used to cover interest payments under the Note, (b) second, disbursed monthly to Mortgagor in an amount sufficient to allow Mortgagor to make Permitted REIT Distributions (as that term is defined in
20
the Note), (c) third, to fund any reserves established under the terms of the Loan Documents, and (d) fourth, to pay operating expenses and capital expenses of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing subsections (c) and (d), during the continuance of a Cash Management Period, all amounts on deposit in the Deposit Account, after monthly payment to the Mortgagor of funds sufficient to allow Mortgagor to make Permitted REIT Distributions, shall be additional cash collateral for the Loan and applied to Mortgagor’s outstanding obligations under the Loan as Mortgagee may elect. A “Cash Management Period” shall commence upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, and shall end if the Event of Default has been cured. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, Mortgagor shall have the right under all circumstances to use proceeds from the Property first to make Permitted REIT Distributions before applying such proceeds to any debt service or reserve or other payment obligations under the Loan.
4.26 Hazardous Substances. Mortgagor covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Mortgagor will (i) comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the ownership or use of the Property, (ii) use its best efforts to cause all tenants and other persons occupying the Property to comply with all Environmental Laws, (iii) immediately pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incurred in such compliance, and (iv) keep or cause the Property to be kept free and clear of any liens imposed thereon pursuant to any Environmental Laws.
(b) Mortgagor will not generate, use, treat, store, Release or dispose of, or permit the generation, use, treatment, storage, Release or disposal of, any Hazardous Substances on the Property, or transport or permit the transportation of any Hazardous Substances to or from the Property, in each case in any quantity or manner which violates any Environmental Law. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Mortgagor may store, maintain and use on the Property janitorial and maintenance supplies, paint and other Hazardous Substances of a type and in a quantity readily available for purchase by the general public and normally stored, maintained and used by owners and managers of properties of a type similar to the Property, and (ii) tenants of the Property may store, maintain and use on the Property (and, if any tenant is a retail business, hold in inventory and sell in the ordinary course of such tenant’s business) Hazardous Substances of a type and quantity readily available for purchase by the general public and normally stored, maintained and used (and, if tenant is a retail business, sold) by tenants in similar lines of business on properties similar to the Property.
(c) If Mortgagee (i) has knowledge of any pending or threatened Environmental Claim against Mortgagor or the Property or (ii) has reason to believe that the Mortgagor or the Property are in violation of any Environmental Law or (iii) receives a request for an environmental site assessment report from a regulatory or other governmental entity with jurisdiction over Mortgagee, then at Mortgagee’s written request, at any time and from time to time, Mortgagor will provide to Mortgagee an environmental site assessment report concerning the Property, prepared by an environmental consulting firm approved by Mortgagee, indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances and the potential cost of any removal or remedial action in connection with any Hazardous Substances on the Property (except that any request arising from clause (iii) above shall be at Mortgagee’s sole cost and expense). Except as provided above, any such environmental site assessment report shall be conducted at
21
Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense. If Mortgagor fails to deliver to Mortgagee any such environmental site assessment report within thirty (30) days after being requested to do so by Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 4.26, Mortgagee may obtain the same, and Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee and its agents access to the Property and specifically grants to Mortgagee an irrevocable nonexclusive license to undertake such an assessment, and the cost of such assessment (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate as defined in the Note) will be payable by Mortgagor on demand.
(d) Mortgagee may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, perform at its sole cost and expense an environmental site assessment report for the Property, and Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee and its agents access to the Property upon reasonable prior notice to Mortgagor, and specifically grants to Mortgagee an irrevocable non-exclusive license to undertake such an assessment, expressly excluding any invasive inspections. Mortgagor shall have the right to have an agent or representative of Mortgagor present during any such inspection.
(e) Mortgagor will advise Mortgagee in writing immediately upon learning of any of the following: (i)any pending or threatened Environmental Claim against Mortgagor or the Property; (ii) any condition or occurrence on the Property that (A) results in noncompliance by Mortgagor with any applicable Environmental Law, or (B) could reasonably be anticipated to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Mortgagor or the Property; (iii) any condition or occurrence on the Property that could reasonably be anticipated to cause the Property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of the Property under any Environmental Law; and (iv) the taking of any removal or remedial action in response to the actual or alleged presence, in any quantity or manner which violates any Environmental Law, of any Hazardous Substances on the Property. Each such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, investigation, condition, occurrence or removal or remedial action and Mortgagor’s response thereto. In addition, Mortgagor will provide Mortgagee with copies of all communications to or from Mortgagor and any governmental agency relating to Environmental Laws, all communications to or from Mortgagor and any person relating to Environmental Claims, and such detailed reports of any Environmental Claim as may be requested by Mortgagee.
(f) Mortgagee shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in or defend, as a party if it so elects, any Environmental Claim. Without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, Mortgagor shall not enter into any settlement, consent or compromise with respect to any Environmental Claim that might impair the value of the Property.
(g) At its sole expense, Mortgagor will conduct any investigation, study, sampling and testing, and undertake any cleanup, removal, remedial or other action necessary to remove and clean up all Hazardous Substances from the Property which must be so removed or cleaned up in accordance with the requirements of any applicable Environmental Laws, to the reasonable satisfaction of a professional environmental consultant selected by Mortgagee, and in accordance with all such requirements and with orders and directives of all governmental authorities. If all or any portion of the Loan shall be outstanding, Mortgagor may prepay the Loan in full, together with all applicable prepayment penalties, in lieu of complying with the preceding sentence.
22
(h) Mortgagor will defend (with attorneys satisfactory to the Indemnitees), protect, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Indemnitees and its respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents from and against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal and remedial actions), losses, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages and punitive damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may at any time be incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them directly or indirectly based on, or arising or resulting from (i) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Substances on the Property in any quantity or manner which violates Environmental Law, or the removal, handling, transportation, disposal or storage of such Hazardous Substances, (ii) any Environmental Claim with respect to Mortgagor or the Property, or (iii) the exercise of any Indemnitee’s rights under this Section 4.26 (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”), regardless of when such Indemnified Matters arise, but excluding any Indemnified Matter arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee or with respect to Hazardous Substances first Released on the Property after the earlier of (1) the date neither Mortgagor nor any of its affiliates holds title to or any other interest in or lien on the Property as a result of a transfer permitted under Section 5.4(c), below, or through foreclosure (or deed in lieu thereof) of the lien of the Mortgage, or (2) the payment in full of the Secured Obligations. To the extent that this indemnity is unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Mortgagor agrees to contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, “the Secured Obligations have been paid in full” shall mean the Secured Obligations have been voluntarily repaid in full by Mortgagor in cash, only, and shall not include the acceptance by Mortgagee of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or the making of any bid made by Mortgagee in connection with a foreclosure of the Property.
(i) Mortgagor will reimburse each Indemnitee for all sums paid and costs incurred by such Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter within ten (10) days following written demand therefor, with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) if not paid within such ten (10) day period.
(j) Should any Indemnitee institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity, or in arbitration, to enforce any provision of this Mortgage (including an action for declaratory relief or for damages by reason of any alleged breach of any provision of this Section 4.26) or otherwise in connection with this Mortgage or any provision hereof, it shall be entitled to recover from Mortgagor its reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith if it is the prevailing party in such action or proceeding.
(k) Mortgagor agrees that notwithstanding any term or provision contained in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Mortgagor as set forth in this Section 4.26 shall be exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpatory provision relating to the Loan, and Mortgagor shall be fully liable for the performance of its obligations under this Section, and such liability shall not be limited to the original principal amount of the Loan.

24
express written consent of Mortgagee. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any part of the Property is or becomes a nonconforming use, Mortgagor will not cause such use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Mortgagee, and Mortgagor will use its best efforts to prevent the tenant under any Lease from discontinuing or abandoning such use.
5.3 Interference with Leases.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(d) hereof, Mortgagor will neither do, nor neglect to do, anything which may cause or permit the termination of any Lease of all or any part of the Property, or cause or permit the withholding or abatement of any rent payable under any such Lease.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(d) hereof, without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Mortgagee’s sole discretion, Mortgagor shall not enter into or modify any Lease of all or any part of the Property.

(d) Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Section 5.3, and provided that no Event of Default exists and is continuing, Mortgagee’s approval shall not be required with respect to any new Lease entered into by the initial Mortgagor named herein for the Property in the future or with respect to any amendment, modification, extension, expansion or termination of any existing Lease or future Lease; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of any new Lease entered into by Mortgagor and any lease amendment, modification, extension, expansion or termination of any existing Lease or future Lease entered into by Mortgagor.
(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, whether or not Mortgagee’s consent to the cancellation or surrender of any Lease is required hereunder, Mortgagee may (i) require that Mortgagor deposit into an escrow account acceptable to Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion all cancellation penalties or other consideration paid to Mortgagor in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000.00 (and any such termination fees received by Mortgagor under said $100,000.00 may be retained by Mortgagor) in connection with such cancellation or surrender (the “Termination Fees”); provided, however, that the amount of any Termination Fees required to be deposited by Mortgagor under this Section 5.3 shall be limited to the lesser of (1) the actual amount of the Lease termination payment, and
25
(2) the amount needed to cover the retenanting costs of the vacant space, and (ii) impose such restrictions and conditions on the timing and amount of disbursements of the Termination Fees from such escrow account as Mortgagee may require in its reasonable discretion, including, without limitation (A) requiring that (1) such vacant space be relet to a tenant and under a Lease acceptable to Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion (an “Approved Lease”), (2) the tenant under the Approved Lease is in occupancy of the Property and paying rent, (3) Mortgagor provide to Mortgagee a tenant estoppel certificate from the tenant under the Approved Lease in a form acceptable to Mortgagee in Mortgagee’s reasonable discretion, and (4) Mortgagor provide to Mortgagee evidence acceptable to Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion that all improvements to the Property required by the Approved Lease have been completed, and (B) limiting the amount of such disbursement to the lesser of the actual cost of retenanting such space or the amount calculated by dividing the Termination Fees by the total square feet of space vacated, then multiplying that result by the number of square feet of newly leased space under the applicable Lease or Approved Lease, as the case may be. If at any time the amount of Termination Fees held by Mortgagee exceeds the estimated amount needed for retenanting costs, such excess amount shall be promptly remitted back to Mortgagor. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Permitted REIT Distributions (as defined in the Note) shall have priority over the requirement to deposit Termination Fees pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) and the provisions of subsection 5.3(e)(ii)(A) shall apply only after a transfer of the Property by the initial Mortgagor named herein pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4(c), below.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.4(a), the initial Mortgagor named herein shall have the right to modify its organizational documents and/or structure without Mortgagee’s consent provided that such modifications do not result in a violation this Section 5.4. In addition, the provisions of this Section 5.4 shall not prohibit transfers, pledges or the incurring of debt or other liabilities or obligations, or the signing of guarantees or other agreements by (or impose any financial covenants of any kind, including, without limitation, net worth requirements, on) KBS Limited Partnership or any of the direct or indirect owners of KBS Limited Partnership, provided that (i) KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“KBS REIT”) continues to directly or indirectly own Mortgagor and (ii) the sole asset manager of KBS REIT is any one or more of the following: (A) an entity indirectly or directly
26
owned and controlled by Xxxxx Xxxx and/or Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xx., or (B) an entity reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee using commercial standards customarily applied by prudent institutional mortgage lenders for similar loans.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision contained in the Loan Documents to the contrary, in connection with a permitted transfer of the Property pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.4(c), at any time after the “Lockout Expiration Date” (as defined in the Note) Mortgagor shall have the right to prepay a portion of the principal balance of the Note in an amount necessary to satisfy the requirements of subsections 5.4(c)(x) and (xi) above (provided that Mortgagor shall pay Mortgagee the prepayment premium required pursuant to Section 5(b) of the Note calculated on the amount of principal being paid, and further provided that such prepayment shall not exceed the minimum amount necessary to satisfy such requirements of subsections 5.4(c)(x) and (xi) above).

The “Loan-to-Value Ratio” shall be the ratio, as determined by Mortgagee, of the aggregate principal balance of the Note and all other indebtedness secured by liens or encumbrances against the Encumbered Properties to the fair market value of the Encumbered Properties, as such fair market value is determined by an M.A.I. appraisal satisfactory to Mortgagee (the “Appraisal”). Upon Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall deliver the appraisal to Mortgagee at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense.
5.5 Further Encumbrance of Chattels. Mortgagor will neither create nor permit any lien, security interest or encumbrance against the Chattels or Intangible Personalty or any part thereof or interest therein, other than the liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which may be withheld for any reason.
5.6 Assessments Against Property. Mortgagor will not, without the prior written approval of Mortgagee, which may be withheld for any reason, consent to or allow the creation of any so-called special districts, special improvement districts, benefit assessment districts or similar districts, or any other body or entity of any type, or allow to occur any other event, that would or might result in the imposition of any additional taxes, assessments or other monetary obligations or burdens on the Property, and this provision shall serve as RECORD NOTICE to any such district or districts or any governmental entity under whose authority such district or districts exist or are being formed that, should Mortgagor or any other person or entity include all or any portion of the Property in such district or districts, whether formed or in the process of formation, without first obtaining Mortgagee’s express written consent, the rights of Mortgagee in the Property pursuant to this Mortgage or following any foreclosure of this Mortgage, and the rights of any person or entity to whom Mortgagee might transfer the Property following a foreclosure of this Mortgage, shall be senior and superior to any taxes, charges, fees, assessments or other impositions of any kind or nature whatsoever, or liens (whether statutory, contractual or otherwise) levied or imposed, or to be levied or imposed, upon the Property or any portion thereof as a result of inclusion of the Property in such district or districts.
5.7 Transfer or Removal of Chattels. Mortgagor will not sell, transfer or remove from the Property all or any part of the Chattels, unless the items sold, transferred, or removed are simultaneously replaced with similar items of equal or greater value.
5.8 Change of Name, Organizational I.D. No. or Location. Mortgagor will not change the name under which Mortgagor does business (or adopt or begin doing business under any other name or assumed or trade name), change its organizational identification number, or change its location, without first notifying Mortgagee of Mortgagor’s intention to do so and delivering to Mortgagee such organizational documents of Mortgagor and executed modifications or supplements to this Mortgage (and to any financing statement which may be filed in connection herewith) as Mortgagee may require. For purposes of the foregoing, Mortgagor’s “location” shall mean (a) if Mortgagor is a registered organization, Mortgagor’s

5.10 ERISA. Mortgagor shall not engage in any transaction which would cause the Note (or the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its rights under the Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt, prohibited transaction under ERISA (including for this purpose the parallel provisions of Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), or otherwise result in Mortgagee being deemed in violation of any applicable provisions of ERISA. Mortgagor shall indemnify, protect, defend, and hold Mortgagee harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, judgments, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of claims and in obtaining any individual ERISA exemption or state administrative exception that may be required, in Mortgagee’s sole and absolute discretion) that Mortgagee may incur, directly or indirectly, as the result of the breach by Mortgagor of any warranty or representation set forth in Section 3.3(x) hereof or the breach by Mortgagor of any covenant contained in this Section. This indemnity shall survive any termination, satisfaction or foreclosure of this Mortgage and shall not be subject to the limitation on personal liability described in the Note.
5.11 Use of Proceeds. Mortgagor will not use any funds advanced by Mortgagee under the Loan Documents for household or agricultural purposes, to purchase margin stock, or for any purpose prohibited by law.

MORTGAGEE’S REMEDIES
Immediately upon or any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, Mortgagee may exercise any remedy available at law or in equity, including but not limited to those listed below, those contained in Article 8 hereof and those listed in the other Loan Documents, in such sequence or combination as Mortgagee may determine in Mortgagee’s sole discretion:
7.1 Performance of Defaulted Obligations. Mortgagee may make any payment or perform any other obligation under the Loan Documents or under Leases which Mortgagor has failed to make or perform, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor to make any such payment and perform any such obligation in the name of Mortgagor. All payments made and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Mortgagee in this connection, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid or incurred until repaid, will be part of the Secured Obligations and will be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee. In lieu of advancing
32
Mortgagee’s own funds for such purposes, Mortgagee may use any funds of Mortgagor which may be in Mortgagee’s possession, including but not limited to insurance or condemnation proceeds and amounts deposited for taxes, insurance premiums, or other purposes.
7.2 Specific Performance and Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the availability of legal remedies, Mortgagee will be entitled to obtain specific performance, mandatory or prohibitory injunctive relief, or other equitable relief requiring Mortgagor to cure or refrain from repeating any Default.
7.3 Acceleration of Secured Obligations. Mortgagee may, without notice or demand, declare all of the Secured Obligations immediately due and payable in full.
7.4 Suit for Monetary Relief. Subject to the non-recourse provisions of the Note, with or without accelerating the maturity of the Secured Obligations, Mortgagee may xxx from time to time for any payment due under any of the Loan Documents, or for money damages resulting from Mortgagor’s default under any of the Loan Documents.
7.5 Possession of Property. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may enter and take possession of the Property without seeking or obtaining the appointment of a receiver, may employ a managing agent for the Property, and may lease or rent all or any part of the Property, either in Mortgagee’s name or in the name of Mortgagor, and may collect the rents, issues, and profits of the Property and may exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom. If Mortgagor for any reason fails to surrender or deliver the Property or any part thereof after Mortgagee’s demand, Mortgagee may obtain a judgment or order conferring on Mortgagee the right to immediate possession or requiring Mortgagor to deliver immediate possession to Mortgagee, and Mortgagor hereby specifically consents to the entry of any such judgment or decree. Any revenues collected by Mortgagee under this Section will be applied first toward payment of all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred until repaid, and the balance, if any, will be applied against the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect in its sole discretion.
7.6 Enforcement of Security Interests. Mortgagee may exercise all rights of a secured party under the Code with respect to the Chattels and the Intangible Personalty, including but not limited to taking possession of, holding, and selling the Chattels and enforcing or otherwise realizing upon any accounts and general intangibles. Any requirement for reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale, or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made, will be satisfied by Mortgagee’s giving of such notice to Mortgagor at least five (5) days prior to the time of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made.
7.7 Foreclosure Against Property.
(a) Mortgagee may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Mortgage. Mortgagor confers upon the Mortgagee the authority and power to proceed to protect and enforce its rights by a suit or suits in equity or at law, in aid of the execution of any power granted herein or in any other Loan Document, or for the foreclosure
33
of this Mortgage, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, and in addition authorizes the Mortgagee to sell the Mortgaged Property at public auction and convey the same to the purchaser in fee simple, as provided by law, the Mortgagor to remain liable for any deficiency. Said sale may be as one tract or otherwise, at the sole option of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor agrees that, for the purpose of Section 580.08, Minnesota Statutes, the Mortgaged Property is a single tract.
(b) All fees, costs and expenses of any kind incurred by Mortgagee in connection with foreclosure of this Mortgage, including, without limitation, the costs of any appraisals of the Property obtained by Mortgagee, the cost of any title reports or abstracts, all costs of any receivership for the Property advanced by Mortgagee, and all attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses incurred by Mortgagee, shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations and may be included as part of the amount owing from Mortgagor to Mortgagee at any foreclosure sale.
(c) The proceeds of any sale under this Section shall be applied first to the payment of costs and expenses of foreclosure and of such sale and of all proper expenses (including maximum attorneys’ fees permitted by law), and of all taxes, assessments or liens superior to the lien of these presents; and then to the reduction or discharge of the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect in its sole discretion; any surplus remaining shall be paid over to Mortgagor or to such other person or persons as may be lawfully entitled to such surplus.
(d) Nothing in this Section dealing with foreclosure procedures or specifying particular actions to be taken by Mortgagee shall be deemed to contradict or add to the requirements and procedures now or hereafter specified by Minnesota law, and any such inconsistency shall be resolved in favor of Minnesota law applicable at the time of foreclosure.
7.8 Appointment of Receiver. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagee shall be entitled, as a matter of absolute right and without regard to the value of any security for the Secured Obligations or the solvency of any person liable therefor and whether or not proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgage have been commenced, and if such proceedings have been commenced, whether or not a foreclosure sale has occurred, to the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon ex-parte application to any court of competent jurisdiction. Mortgagor waives any right to any hearing or notice of hearing prior to the appointment of a receiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, such receiver and its agents shall be empowered, but shall not be obligated, to (a) take possession of the Property and any businesses conducted by Mortgagor or any other person thereon and any business assets used in connection therewith, (b) exclude Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s agents, servants, and employees from the Property, (c) collect the rents, issues, profits, and income therefrom, (d) complete any construction which may be in progress, (e) do such maintenance and make such repairs and alterations as the receiver deems necessary, (f) use all stores of materials, supplies, and maintenance equipment on the Property and replace such items at the expense of the receivership estate, (g) pay all taxes and assessments against the Property and the Chattels, all premiums for insurance thereon, all utility and other operating expenses, and all sums due under any prior or subsequent encumbrance, and (h) generally do anything which Mortgagor could legally do if Mortgagor were in possession of the Property. All expenses incurred by the receiver or its
34
agents shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations. Any revenues collected by the receiver shall be applied, to the extent permitted by applicable law, first to the expenses of the receivership, including attorneys’ fees incurred by the receiver and by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred until repaid, and the balance shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof. Unless sooner terminated with the express consent of Mortgagee, any such receivership will continue until the Secured Obligations have been discharged in full, or until title to the Property has passed after foreclosure sale and all applicable periods of redemption have expired.
7.9 Right to Make Repairs, Improvements. Should any part of the Property come into the possession of Mortgagee, whether before or after an Event of Default, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, use, operate, and/or make repairs, alterations, additions and improvements to the Property for the purpose of preserving it or its value. Mortgagor covenants to promptly reimburse and pay to Mortgagee, at the place where the Note is payable, or at such other place as may be designated by Mortgagee in writing, the amount of all reasonable expenses (including the cost of any insurance, taxes, or other charges) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with its custody, preservation, use or operation of the Property, together with interest thereon from the date incurred by Mortgagee at the Default Rate, and all such expenses, costs, taxes, interest, and other charges shall be a part of the Secured Obligations. It is agreed, however, that the risk of accidental loss or damage to the Property is undertaken by Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to obtain or maintain insurance, or for failure to determine whether any insurance ever in force is adequate as to amount or as to the risks insured.
7.10 Surrender of Insurance. Mortgagee may surrender the insurance policies maintained pursuant to the terms hereof, or any part thereof, and receive and apply the unearned premiums as a credit on the Secured Obligations and, in connection therewith, Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee (or any officer of Mortgagee), as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor (with full powers of substitution), which power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and therefore irrevocable, to collect such premiums.
7.11 Prima Facie Evidence. Mortgagor agrees that, in any assignments, deeds, bills of sale, notices of sale, or postings, given by Mortgagee, any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made as to the identity of Mortgagee, or as to the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, or as to the acceleration of the maturity of the Secured Obligations, or as to the request to sell, posting of notice of sale, notice of sale, time, place, terms and manner of sale and receipt, distribution and application of the money realized therefrom, and without being limited by the foregoing, as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Mortgagee, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that such statements or recitals state facts and are without further question to be so accepted, and Mortgagor does hereby ratify and confirm any and all acts that Mortgagee may lawfully do by virtue hereof.
7.12 Other Proceedings. Mortgagee may institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as Mortgagee may deem advisable (i) to prevent any impairment of the Property by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Mortgage, (ii) to preserve or protect its
35
interest in the Property, and (iii) to restrain the enforcement or compliance with any governmental requirement that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such governmental requirement might impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to Mortgagee’s interest.
7.13 Credit of Mortgagee. To the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the State of Minnesota, on a sale made under or by virtue of this Article, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Property, or any part thereof, and in lieu of paying cash thereof may apply to the purchase price, all or any portion of the unpaid Secured Obligations in such order as Mortgagee may elect.
7.14 Sale. Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Article shall operate to divest all of the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever at law or in equity, of Mortgagor and all persons, except tenants pursuant to Leases permitted hereunder claiming by, through or under Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights so sold, whether sold to Mortgagee or to others.
7.15 Waiver of Redemption, Notice, Marshaling, Etc. Mortgagor hereby waives and releases for itself and anyone claiming through, by, or under it, to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the State of Minnesota;
(a) All benefits that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future law exempting the Property, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale on execution, or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment;
(b) Unless specifically required herein, all notices of default, or Mortgagee’s actual exercise of any option or remedy under the Loan Documents; and
(c) Any right to have the Property marshaled.
7.16 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any rights under any Loan Document and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then except as may be provided in any written agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee providing for the discontinuance or abandonment of such proceeding, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and the rights, remedies and powers of Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
ARTICLE 8
ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
8.1 Assignment of Leases and Rents. Mortgagor hereby unconditionally and absolutely grants, transfers and assigns unto Mortgagee all rents, royalties, issues, profits, proceeds of sales, and income now or hereafter due or payable for the occupancy or use of the Property or any portion thereof, and all insurance proceeds and insurance premium refunds, condemnation awards, tax refunds and abatements, damage awards and other payments of any
36
kind due or payable or to become due or payable to the Mortgagor with respect to the Property and all amounts paid by tenants with respect to Leases whether in consideration of surrender or cancellation or otherwise (“Rents”), and all Leases, whether written or oral, with all security therefor, including all guaranties thereof, now or hereafter affecting the Property; reserving unto Mortgagor, however, a license to collect and retain such Rents prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default. Such license shall be revocable by Mortgagee without notice to Mortgagor at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Mortgagor represents that the Rents and the Leases have not been heretofore sold, assigned, transferred or set over by any instrument now in force and will not at any time during the life of this assignment be sold, assigned, transferred or set over by Mortgagor or by any person or persons whomsoever; and Mortgagor has good right to sell, assign, transfer and set over the same and to grant to and confer upon Mortgagee the rights, interest, powers and authorities herein granted and conferred. Failure of Mortgagee at any time or from time to time to enforce the assignment of Rents and Leases under this Section shall not in any manner prevent its subsequent enforcement, and Mortgagee is not obligated to collect anything hereunder, but is accountable only for sums actually collected. The assignment contained in this Section 8.1 is an actual and present assignment, subject to the foregoing license granted to Mortgagor to collect and retain such Rents prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default.
8.2 Further Assignments. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee at any time upon demand any further or additional forms of assignment or transfer of such Rents, Leases and security as may be reasonably requested by Mortgagee, and shall deliver to Mortgagee executed copies of all such Leases and security.
8.3 Application of Rents. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee shall be entitled to deduct and retain a just and reasonable compensation from monies received hereunder for its services or that of its agents in collecting such monies. All Rents from the Mortgaged Property collected by the Mortgagee, or by a receiver, shall be held and applied in the following order:
(a) to payment of all reasonable fees of the receiver, if any, approved by the court;
(b) to the repayment when due of all tenant security deposits, if any, with interest thereon, pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes § 504.20;
(c) to payment when due of all delinquent or current real estate taxes and special assessments payable with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or periodic reserve payments for such taxes and assessments;
(d) to payment when due of all premiums for the insurance required on the Mortgaged Property, or periodic reserve payments for such premiums;
(e) to payment of expenses incurred for normal maintenance of the Mortgaged Property;
(f) to the Mortgagee in payment of the indebtedness secured hereby in such order of application as the Mortgagee may elect, or, in the event that a foreclosure of the Mortgage shall have occurred, as a credit to the amount required to redeem from such foreclosure.
37
The rights and powers of the Mortgagee and the application of the Rents from the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section, shall continue and remain in full force and effect both before and after commencement of any action or proceeding to foreclose the Mortgage, after the foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage, and until expiration of the period of redemption from any such foreclosure sale, whether or not any deficiency from the unpaid balance of the indebtedness secured hereby exists after such foreclosure sale. The entering upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property, the collection of the Rents and the application thereof, shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or waive, modify or affect notice of Event of Default under the Note or Mortgage or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. The Mortgagee may, without entering into possession or pursuing any other remedy as provided in this subsection or at law or equity or in conjunction with such possession or pursuance of other remedy, give notice to any or all tenants under the Leases authorizing and directing such tenants to pay Rents under the Leases directly to the Mortgagee. If a tenant receives such a notice and makes payment pursuant thereto, it shall be conclusively presumed, as between the Mortgagor and such tenant, that the tenant is entitled to make such payment to the Mortgagee, and that such payment constituted payment of rental under the Leases in question. Such notice may be given either in the Mortgagee’s or in the Mortgagor’s name. The acceptance of this Mortgage by Mortgagee or the exercise of any rights by it hereunder shall not be, or be construed to be, an affirmation by it of any Lease nor an assumption of any liability under any Lease.
8.4 Collection of Rents. Upon or at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable, and may, at its option, without notice, and whether or not the Secured Obligations shall have been declared due and payable, either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, (a) enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate the Property, or any part thereof (including without limitation making necessary repairs, alterations and improvements to the Property); (b) make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases; (c) obtain and evict tenants; (d) fix or modify Rents; (e) do any acts which Mortgagee deems reasonably proper to protect the security thereof; and (f) either with or without taking possession of the Property, in its own name xxx for or otherwise collect and receive such Rents, including those past due and unpaid. In connection with the foregoing, Mortgagee shall be entitled and empowered to employ attorneys, and management, rental and other agents in and about the Property and to effect the matters which Mortgagee is empowered to do, and in the event Mortgagee shall itself effect such matters, Mortgagee shall be entitled to charge and receive reasonable management, rental and other fees therefor as may be customary in the area in which the Property is located; and the reasonable fees, charges, costs and expenses of Mortgagee or such persons shall be additional Secured Obligations. Mortgagee may apply all funds collected as aforesaid, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys’ and agents’ fees, charges, costs and expenses, as aforesaid, upon any Secured Obligations, and in such order as Mortgagee may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of the Property, the collection of such Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure or waive any default or waive, modify or affect notice of default under the Note or this Mortgage or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
38
8.5 Authority of Mortgagee. Any tenants or occupants of any part of the Property are hereby authorized to recognize the claims of Mortgagee hereunder without investigating the reason for any action taken by Mortgagee, or the validity or the amount of secured obligations owing to Mortgagee, or the existence of any default in the Note or this Mortgage, or under or by reason of this assignment of Rents and Leases, or the application to be made by Mortgagee of any amounts to be paid to Mortgagee. The sole signature of Mortgagee shall be sufficient for the exercise of any rights under this assignment and the sole receipt of Mortgagee for any sums received shall be a full discharge and release therefor to any such tenant or occupant of the Property. Checks for all or any part of the rentals collected under this assignment of Rents and Leases shall be drawn to the exclusive order of Mortgagee.
8.6 Indemnification of Mortgagee. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate Mortgagee to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of any lessor under any Lease of the Property, and Mortgagor shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from any and all liability, loss or damage which Mortgagee may or might incur under any Lease or by reason of the assignment; and any and all such liability, loss or damage incurred by Mortgagee, together with the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Mortgagee in defense of any claims or demands therefor (whether successful or not), shall be additional Secured Obligations, and Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee therefor on demand.
8.7 Additional Security. The assignment contained in this Article 8 is given as security in addition to the security of the Mortgage, and not as part of the security of the Mortgage. All rights and remedies herein conferred may be exercised whether or not foreclosure proceedings are pending under the Mortgage. The Mortgagee shall not be required to resort first to the security of this assignment or of the Mortgage before resorting to the security of the other, and the Mortgagee may exercise the security hereof and of the Mortgage concurrently or independently and in any order of preference.
8.8 No Mortgagee in Possession. Nothing herein contained, and no action taken pursuant to this assignment, shall be construed as constituting the Mortgagee as “Mortgagee in Possession.”
ARTICLE 9
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
9.1 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all of Mortgagor’s obligations under the Loan Documents.
9.2 Joint and Several Obligations. If Mortgagor is more than one person or entity, then (a) all persons or entities comprising Mortgagor are jointly and severally liable for all of the Secured Obligations; (b) all representations, warranties, and covenants made by Mortgagor shall be deemed representations, warranties, and covenants of each of the persons or entities comprising Mortgagor; (c) any breach, Default or Event of Default by any of the persons or entities comprising Mortgagor hereunder shall be deemed to be a breach, Default, or Event of Default of Mortgagor; (d) any reference herein contained to the knowledge or awareness of
39
Mortgagor shall mean the knowledge or awareness of any of the persons or entities comprising Mortgagor; and (e) any event creating personal liability of any of the persons or entities comprising Mortgagor shall create personal liability for all such persons or entities.
9.3 Waiver of Homestead and Other Exemptions. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby waives all rights to any homestead or other exemption to which Mortgagor would otherwise be entitled under any present or future constitutional, statutory, or other provision of applicable state or federal law. Mortgagor hereby waives any right it may have to require Mortgagee to marshal all or any portion of the security for the Secured Obligations.
9.4 Non-Recourse; Exceptions to Non-Recourse. Except as expressly set forth in the Note, the recourse of Mortgagee with respect to the obligations evidenced by the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall be solely to the Property, Chattels and Intangible Personalty, and any other collateral given as security for the Note.
9.5 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Mortgagee’s rights and remedies under each of the Loan Documents are cumulative of the rights and remedies available to Mortgagee under each of the other Loan Documents and those otherwise available to Mortgagee at law or in equity. No act of Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any particular provision of any Loan Document to the exclusion of any other provision in the same or any other Loan Document, or as an election of remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter be available to Mortgagee.
9.6 No Implied Waivers. Mortgagee shall not be deemed to have waived any provision of any Loan Document unless such waiver is in writing and is signed by Mortgagee. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, neither Mortgagee’s acceptance of any payment with knowledge of a Default by Mortgagor, nor any failure by Mortgagee to exercise any remedy following a Default by Mortgagor shall be deemed a waiver of such Default, and no waiver by Mortgagee of any particular Default on the part of Mortgagor shall be deemed a waiver of any other Default or of any similar Default in the future.
9.7 No Third-Party Rights. No person shall be a third-party beneficiary of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. All provisions of the Loan Documents favoring Mortgagee are intended solely for the benefit of Mortgagee, and no third party shall be entitled to assume or expect that Mortgagee will not waive or consent to modification of any such provision in Mortgagee’s sole discretion.
9.8 Preservation of Liability and Priority. Without affecting the liability of Mortgagor or of any other person (except a person expressly released in writing) for payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations, and without affecting the rights of Mortgagee with respect to any security not expressly released in writing, and without impairing in any way the priority of this Mortgage over the interests of any person acquired or first evidenced by recording subsequent to the recording hereof, Mortgagee may, either before or after the maturity of the Note, and without notice or consent: (a) release any person liable for payment or performance of all or any part of the Secured Obligations; (b) make any agreement altering the terms of payment or performance of all or any of the Secured Obligations; (c) exercise or refrain
40
from exercising, or waive, any right or remedy which Mortgagee may have under any of the Loan Documents; (d) accept additional security of any kind for any of the Secured Obligations; or (e) release or otherwise deal with any real or personal property securing the Secured Obligations. Any person acquiring or recording evidence of any interest of any nature in the Property, the Chattels, or the Intangible Personalty shall be deemed, by acquiring such interest or recording any evidence thereof, to have agreed and consented to any or all such actions by Mortgagee.
9.9 Subrogation of Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall be subrogated to the lien of any previous encumbrance discharged with funds advanced by Mortgagee under the Loan Documents, regardless of whether such previous encumbrance has been released of record.
9.10 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given by Mortgagor or Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall be in writing and will be deemed given (a) upon personal delivery, (b) on the first business day after receipted delivery to a courier service which guarantees next-business-day delivery, or (c) on the third business day after mailing, by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, in any case to the appropriate party at its address set forth below:

9.11 Defeasance. Upon payment and performance in full of all of the Secured Obligations, Mortgagee will execute and deliver to Mortgagor such documents as may be required to release this Mortgage of record.
9.12 Illegality. If any provision of this Mortgage is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Mortgage, the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Mortgage shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of this Mortgage a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable. If the rights and liens created by this Mortgage shall be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Secured Obligations, then the unsecured portion of the Secured Obligations shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining and secured portion of the Secured Obligations, and all payments made on the Secured Obligations shall be considered to have been paid on and applied first to the complete payment of the unsecured portion of the Secured Obligations.
9.13 Usury Savings Clause. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Mortgagee and Mortgagor at all times to comply with the applicable law governing the highest lawful interest rate. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Loan, or if acceleration of the maturity of the Note, any prepayment by Mortgagor, or any other circumstance whatsoever, results in Mortgagor having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is the express intent of Mortgagor and Mortgagee that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Mortgagee be credited on the principal balance of the Note (or, at Mortgagee’s option, paid over to Mortgagor), and the provisions of the Note and other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder. The right to accelerate maturity of the Note does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Mortgagee does not intend to collect any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Mortgagee for the use, forbearance or detention of the Secured Obligations evidenced hereby or by the Note shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Secured Obligations until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such Secured Obligations does not exceed the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted under applicable law. The term “applicable law” as used herein shall mean any federal or state law applicable to the Loan.
9.14 Obligations Binding Upon Mortgagor’s Successors. This Mortgage is binding upon Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee, and its successors and assigns, and the provisions hereof shall likewise be covenants running with the land. The duties, covenants, conditions, obligations, and warranties of Mortgagor in this Mortgage shall be joint and several obligations of Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s successors and assigns.
42
9.15 Construction. All pronouns and any variations of pronouns herein shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the parties may require. Whenever the terms herein are singular, the same shall be deemed to mean the plural, as the identity of the parties or the context requires.
9.16 Attorneys’ Fees. Any reference in this Mortgage to attorneys’ or counsel’s fees paid or incurred by Mortgagee shall be deemed to include paralegals’ fees and legal assistants’ fees. Moreover, wherever provision is made herein for payment of attorneys’ or counsel’s fees or expenses incurred by Mortgagee, such provision shall include but not be limited to, such fees or expenses incurred in any and all judicial, bankruptcy, reorganization, administrative, or other proceedings, including appellate proceedings, whether such fees or expenses arise before proceedings are commenced, during such proceedings or after entry of a final judgment.
9.17 Waiver of Removal to Federal Court. Mortgagor hereby waives any right it may have to remove any action or proceeding brought against it to any federal court of the United States, and hereby waives any right it may have to transfer or change the venue of any litigation brought against it, whether such action or proceeding arises directly, indirectly or otherwise in connection with, out of, related to, or from the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents.
9.18 Waiver and Agreement. MORTGAGOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO PREPAY THE NOTE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WITHOUT PREPAYMENT CHARGE, UPON ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THE NOTE, AND AGREES THAT, IF FOR ANY REASON A PREPAYMENT OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE NOTE IS MADE, WHETHER VOLUNTARILY OR FOLLOWING ANY ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THE NOTE BY MORTGAGEE ON ACCOUNT OF THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT ARISING FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS A RESULT OF ANY PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED TRANSFER, FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE OR DISPOSITION OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF SECURING THE NOTE, THEN MORTGAGOR SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY, CONCURRENTLY WITH SUCH PREPAYMENT, THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM PROVIDED FOR IN THE NOTE (OR, IN THE EVENT OF ACCELERATION WHEN THE NOTE IS CLOSED TO PREPAYMENT, AS PROVIDED IN THE DEFINITION OF “SECURED OBLIGATIONS” SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 1 HEREOF). MORTGAGOR HEREBY DECLARES THAT MORTGAGEE’S AGREEMENT TO MAKE THE LOAN AT THE INTEREST RATE AND FOR THE TERM SET FORTH IN THE NOTE CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION, GIVEN INDIVIDUAL WEIGHT BY MORTGAGOR, FOR THIS WAIVER AND AGREEMENT.
9.19 Waiver of Jury Trial. MORTGAGEE AND MORTGAGOR KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON THIS MORTGAGE, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORTGAGE OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT
43
(WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO OR TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR MORTGAGEE AND MORTGAGOR TO ENTER INTO THE LOAN.
9.20 Governing Laws. The substantive laws of the State of Minnesota shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement and interpretation of this Mortgage.
9.21 Entire Agreement; Inconsistency. The Loan Documents and the Loan Application constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee with respect to the Loan and supersede all prior agreements, understandings or negotiations with respect thereto, whether written or oral. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Loan Documents and the terms of the Loan Application, the terms of the Loan Documents shall govern and control in all respects.
9.22 Anti-Terrorism. Mortgagor represents, warrants and covenants to Mortgagee that:
(a) Neither Mortgagor, nor any of its constituents, affiliates, members, officers, directors or any individual who has the authority to execute or authorize, or who has been authorized to execute, and/or whose consent is required for the execution of the Loan Documents on behalf of Mortgagor is in violation of any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including without limitation, Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001, and relating to Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, (as the same has been, or may hereafter be, renewed, extended, amended or replaced, the “Executive Order”) and the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. § 5311 et seq.), as amended by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56, as the same has been, or may hereafter be, renewed, extended, amended or replaced, the “Patriot Act”). As used herein, “Anti-Terrorism Laws” shall mean any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including the Executive Order, the Patriot Act, the laws comprising or implementing the Bank Secrecy Act, and the laws administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (as any of the foregoing laws may from time to time be renewed, extended, amended, or replaced).
