Each policy shall provide a waiver of any right of subrogation of the insurers thereunder against any Person insured under such policy, and a waiver of any right of the insurers to any set off or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of any Person insured under such policy; and each policy shall provide such other terms and provisions as any owner or operator of facilities similar to the Borrower’s would, in the prudent management of its properties, require to be provided in policies, binders or interim insurance contracts with respect to facilities similar to the Project or the collateral owned or operated by it. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, the Mortgagor shall furnish the Mortgagee with evidence that such policy has been renewed or replaced, in formats acceptable to the Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall provide copies of all renewal or replacement policies within 60 days of the renewal date. Mortgagor shall assign and deliver the Insurance Policies to Mortgagee and
Mortgagee shall have and hold said Insurance Policies as collateral and further security for the payment of the Indebtedness until the full payment of the Indebtedness, or, if reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee, certificates of such policies together with such other information regarding such policy as Mortgagee shall reasonably require. In addition, from time to time, upon occurrence of any change in the use, operation or value of the Premises, or in the availability of insurance in the area in which the Premises are located, Mortgagor shall, within twenty (20) days after reasonable demand by Mortgagee, take out such additional amounts and/or such other kinds of insurance as Mortgagee may require. The Insurance Policies delivered by Mortgagor to Mortgagee on the date hereof shall be deemed acceptable to Mortgagee.
(c) Mortgagor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this Section 1.09, unless Mortgagee is included thereon as a named insured with loss payable to Mortgagee under the standard mortgage endorsement of the character above described. Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee the policy or policies of such insurance.
(d) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and, for so long as it is in effect, the Ground Lease, Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prompt written notice of any damage to, or destruction of, the Improvements, or any part thereof, or of any other casualty or loss at or affecting the Premises or the Chattels, and Mortgagee shall have the right to approve the adjustment of any insurance claim in respect of any such damage, destruction, casualty or loss in excess of $250,000. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the proceeds of any insurance coming into the possession of Mortgagee in respect of any damage, destruction, casualty or loss shall not be deemed trust funds, and Mortgagee shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to apply any insurance proceeds it may receive pursuant hereto or otherwise to the payment of the Indebtedness, or to allow all or a portion of such proceeds to be used for the restoration of the Mortgaged Property. In the event any such insurance proceeds shall be used to reduce the Indebtedness, the same shall be applied by Mortgagee, after the deduction therefrom and repayment to Mortgagee of any and all costs incurred by Mortgagee in the recovery thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), in any manner it shall designate, including but not limited to, the application of such proceeds to the then unpaid installments of the principal balance due under the Note in the inverse order of their maturity, such that the regular payments, if any, under the Note shall not be reduced or altered in any manner. Any prepayment of the Note from the proceeds of insurance shall be without prepayment premium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Improvements have been damaged or destroyed, Mortgagee shall allow Mortgagor to use any such insurance proceeds for the restoration of the Improvements, provided that Mortgagee shall reasonably determine that the restoration of the Improvements can be completed prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) of the Note, and that insurance proceeds shall be sufficient to complete the restoration, or if the amount of such insurance proceeds shall be insufficient to complete such restoration, Mortgagor deposits with Mortgagee an amount equal to the difference between the Architect’s Estimate (as defined below) of the cost of such restoration and the insurance proceeds received.
(e) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and, for so long as it is in effect, the Ground Lease, unless the Indebtedness is paid in full to Mortgagee within thirty (30) days of
the date of any damage, destruction, loss or other casualty to the Improvements, and provided that casualty insurance proceeds are made available to Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall promptly commence and diligently continue to perform the repairs, restoration and rebuilding of the portion of the Improvements so damaged or destroyed (hereinafter the “Work”) so as to restore the Improvements and Chattels in full compliance with all legal requirements and so that the Mortgaged Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility as they were prior to such damage or destruction, and if such damage or destruction, in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, shall exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand ($250,000) Dollars (hereinafter, collectively “Major Work”), Mortgagor shall, prior to the commencement of the Major Work, furnish to Mortgagee for its approval: (1) complete plans and specifications for the Major Work, with satisfactory evidence of the approval thereof (i) by all governmental authorities whose approval is required and (ii) by Borrower’s Architects (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or other architect satisfactory to Mortgagee (hereinafter, the “Architect”) and which shall be accompanied by the Architect’s signed estimate, bearing the Architect’s seal, of the entire cost of completing the Major Work; and (2) certified or photostatic copies of all permits and approvals required by law in connection with the commencement and conduct of the Major Work. Mortgagor shall not commence any of the Major Work until Mortgagor shall have complied with applicable requirements referred to in this subsection (e), and after commencing the Major Work, Mortgagor shall perform the Major Work diligently and in good faith in accordance with the plans and specifications referred to in this subsection (e), if applicable.
(f) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and, for so long as it is in effect, the Ground Lease, if the insurance proceeds, less the cost, if any, to Mortgagee of such recovery and of paying out such proceeds (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs allocable to inspecting the Work and the plans and specifications therefor) should be paid towards restoration of the Improvements and Chattels or if such insurance proceeds are applied toward such restoration, then such insurance proceeds shall be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the cost of the Work and shall be paid out from time to time to Mortgagor and/or, at Mortgagee’s option, directly to the contractor, subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects and other persons rendering services or materials for the Work, as said Work progresses except as otherwise hereinafter provided, but subject to the following conditions, any of which Mortgagee may freely waive, at Mortgagee’s sole discretion:
(i) If the Work to be done is Major Work, as determined by Mortgagee, the Architect shall be in charge of such Major Work;
(ii) Each request for payment shall be made on fifteen (15) days prior notice to Mortgagee and shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Architect if one is required under subsection (e) above, otherwise by a certificate of an officer of Mortgagor, stating (A) that all of the Work completed has been done in compliance with the approved plans and specifications, if any be required under said subsection (e) above, and in accordance with all provisions of law; (B) the sum requested is justly required to reimburse Mortgagor for payments by Mortgagor to, or is justly due to, the contractor, subcontractor, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other persons rendering services or materials for the Work (giving a brief description of such services and materials), and that when added to all sums, if any, previously paid out by Mortgagee does not exceed the value of the Work done to date of
such certificate, and (C) that the amount of such proceeds and other deposits remaining in the hands of Mortgagee will be sufficient on completion of the Work to pay for the same in full (giving in such reasonable detail as Mortgagee may require an estimate of the cost of such completion);
(iii) Each request shall be accompanied by waivers of liens satisfactory to Mortgagee covering that part of the Work previously paid for, if any, and by a search prepared by the title company which insured the lien of the Mortgage or by other evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee, that there has not been filed with respect to the Premises or any part thereof any mechanic’s lien or other lien or instrument for the retention of title in respect of any part of the Work not discharged of record and that there exist no encumbrances on or affecting the Premises or any part thereof or any part of the other Mortgaged Property, other than the Permitted Encumbrances, if any;
(iv) The request for any payment after the Work has been completed shall be accompanied by a copy of all certificates, permits, licenses, waivers and/or other documents required by law to render occupancy of the Premises legal; and
Upon completion of the Work and payment in full therefor, or upon failure on the part of Mortgagor to commence, as provided in Section 1.09(e) above, or diligently to continue the Work, or at any time upon request by Mortgagor, Mortgagee may apply the amount of any such proceeds then or thereafter in the hands of Mortgagee to the payment of the Indebtedness; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent Mortgagee from applying at any time the whole or any part of such proceeds to the curing of any default after expiration of applicable notice and cure periods under this Mortgage, the Note or any other Loan Documents.
1.10 Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, each Mortgagee shall allow the use of such proceeds for the restoration of the “Improvements”, as defined in the Loan Agreement and Chattels, provided each Mortgagee and “Construction Consultant,” as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement, determine that the amount of such insurance proceeds plus the undisbursed portion of the Loan for “Direct Costs”, as defined in the Loan Agreement, and any available equity or other funds of the Mortgagor shall be sufficient to complete the Improvements on or before the “Completion Date”, as defined in the Loan Agreement. In the event any Mortgagee shall allow the use of such proceeds for the restoration of the “Improvements,” as defined in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgagor shall diligently prosecute completion of the Improvements in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, and the insurance proceeds and/or the amount of any such deposits shall be disbursed to Mortgagor under the same terms and conditions for the advancing of loan proceeds under the Loan Agreement except that if the damage is less than $250,000.00, then the proceeds shall be disbursed to Mortgagor in one advance upon completion of the restoration; amounts not required for such purposes shall be applied, at such Mortgagee’s option, to the prepayment of the Note and to interest, if any, accrued and unpaid thereon in such order and proportions as such Mortgagee may elect. In the event that such proceeds are reasonably determined by any Mortgagee to be inadequate, such Mortgagee shall receive from Mortgagor a cash deposit equal to the excess of said estimated cost of restoration over the amount of said available proceeds. If the conditions for the advance of insurance proceeds for restoration set forth above are not
satisfied within sixty (60) days of such Mortgagee’s receipt thereof or if the actual restoration shall not have been commenced within such period, each such Mortgagee shall have the option at any time thereafter to apply such insurance proceeds to the payment of the Note and to interest, if any, accrued and unpaid thereon in such order and proportions as such Mortgagee may elect.
1.11 If the Mortgagor shall fail to perform any of the covenants contained in Section 1.1, 1.3, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.12 or 1.15, Mortgagees may make advances to perform the same on Mortgagor’s behalf, and all sums so advanced shall be a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and shall be secured hereby. The Mortgagor will repay on demand all sums so advanced on its behalf with interest at the Involuntary Rate. The provisions of this Section 1.10 shall not prevent or delay any default in the observance of any covenant contained in said Section 1.1, 1.3, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.12 or 1.15 from constituting an Event of Default.
1.12 (a) The Mortgagor will keep adequate records and books of account in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and will permit each Mortgagee, by its respective agents, accountants and attorneys, to visit and inspect the Leasehold Premises and examine its records and books of account and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with the officers of the Mortgagor, at such reasonable times as may be requested by such Mortgagee.
(b) The Mortgagor will deliver to each Mortgagee with reasonable promptness, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the close of its fiscal year, an audited balance sheet and statement of profit and loss setting forth in each case, in comparative form, figures for the preceding year. Throughout the term of this Mortgage, the Mortgagor, with reasonable promptness, will deliver to each Mortgagee such other information with respect to the Mortgagor as such Mortgagee may reasonably request from time to time. All financial statements of the Mortgagor shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, shall be delivered in duplicate, and shall be accompanied by the certificate of a principal financial or accounting officer of the Mortgagor, dated within five (5) business days of the delivery of such statements to each Mortgagee, stating that he knows of no Event of Default, nor of any default which after notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, which has occurred and is continuing, or, if any such default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Mortgagor has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto, and, except as otherwise specified, stating that the Mortgagor has fulfilled all its obligations under this Mortgage which are required to be fulfilled on or prior to the date of such certificate.
(c) The Mortgagor, within five (5) days after request therefore, shall furnish a written statement duly acknowledged of the amount due whether for principal or interest on the Note and whether any offsets, counterclaims or defenses exist against any Mortgagee or the Indebtedness or any part thereof.
1.13 The Mortgagor will not commit any waste on the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or make any change in the use of the Mortgaged Property (with the exception of the development of Building 7 as set forth in Section 3.14 hereof), or any part thereof, which will in any material way increase any ordinary fire or other hazard arising out of construction or operation. The Mortgagor will, at all times, maintain the Improvements in good operating order
and condition and will promptly make, from time to time, all repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements in connection therewith which are needful or desirable to such end.
1.14 The Mortgagor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Leasehold Premises, or any part thereof, will notify each Mortgagee of the pendency of such proceedings. Each Mortgagee may participate in any such proceedings and the Mortgagor from time to time will deliver to the Mortgagee all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. In the event of such condemnation proceedings, the award or compensation payable is hereby assigned to and shall be paid to the Mortgagees. Mortgagees shall be under no obligation to question the amount of any such award or compensation and may accept the same in the amount in which the same shall be paid subject to Mortgagor’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any such condemnation proceedings each Mortgagee may be represented by counsel selected by each such Mortgagee. The proceeds of any award or compensation so received shall, at the option of each Mortgagee, either be applied toward the payment of the Indebtedness, notwithstanding the fact that the Indebtedness may not then be due and payable, or to the restoration of the Improvements. In the event that any portion of the condemnation awards or compensation shall be used to reduce the Indebtedness, the same shall be applied by the each Mortgagee in any manner it shall designate, including, but not limited to, the application of such award or compensation to the then unpaid installments of the principal balance due under the Note in the inverse order of their maturity such that the regular payments under the Note shall not be reduced or altered in any manner. The Mortgagor, upon request by any Mortgagee, shall make, execute and deliver any and all instruments requested for the purpose of confirming the assignment of the aforesaid awards and compensation to each Mortgagee free and clear of any liens, charges or encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever. Mortgagees shall not be limited to the interest paid on the proceeds of any award or compensation, but shall be entitled to the payment by the Mortgagor of interest at the applicable rate provided for in the Note.
1.15 (a) The Mortgagor will not (i) execute an assignment of the rents, or any part thereof, from the Leasehold Premises except for the assignment to the Fee Owner of the leases and rents from the Leasehold Premises pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease (the “Prior Assignment”), (ii) terminate or consent to the cancellation or surrender of any lease of the Leasehold Premises, or any part thereof, now existing or hereafter to be made, (iii) modify or amend or consent to the modification or amendment of the Ground Lease or any other lease or sublease of the Leasehold Premises, or any part thereof, now existing or hereafter to be made, or (iv) accept prepayments of any installments of rents to become due under such leases, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance of the lessees thereunder, in any other manner materially impair the value of the Mortgaged Property or the security of this Mortgage without the written consent of each Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Except for the Ground Lease and the Leases, the Mortgagor will not execute any lease of all or any portion of the Leasehold Premises, without first obtaining the written consent of each Mortgagee, and will at all times promptly and faithfully perform, or cause to be performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in all such approved leases, on the part of the lessor thereunder to be kept and performed and will at all
times do all things necessary to compel performance by the lessee under each lease of all obligations, covenants and agreements by such lessee to be performed thereunder. Any and all leases entered into shall, unless otherwise consented to by Mortgagee in writing, be subject and subordinate to the terms of this Mortgage. All leases entered into shall provide for the giving by the lessee thereunder of certificates with respect to the state of such leases, and Mortgagor shall exercise its right to request such certificates within ten (10) business days of any demand thereof by any Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall furnish to any Mortgagee, within ten (10) business days after a request by such Mortgagee to do so, an executed counterpart of all such leases. All lessees under such leases shall execute such estoppel certificates, subordinations, attornments and other agreements as each Mortgagee may require. Under no circumstances shall any Mortgagee be liable for any obligation to pay any leasing commission, brokerage fee or similar fee or charge in connection with any lease nor shall any Mortgagee be obligated to complete any Improvements for the benefit of any lessee.
(c) The Mortgagor shall furnish to each Mortgagee, within fifteen (15) business days after a request by any Mortgagee to do so, a written statement containing the names of all lessees of the Leasehold Premises, the terms of their respective leases, the space occupied and the rentals payable thereunder.
1.16 The Mortgagor will cause the Improvements to be constructed substantially in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, will prosecute such construction with due diligence, and will comply with the covenants made by it in the Loan Agreement, all of which are incorporated herein by reference as though set forth herein, and will permit no “Event of Default”, as therein defined, to occur thereunder.
1.17 To the extent not so provided by applicable law each sublease of the Leasehold Premises, or of any part thereof, shall provide that, in the event of the enforcement by any Mortgagee of the remedies provided for by law or by this Mortgage, the sublessee thereunder will, upon request of any person succeeding to the interest of the Mortgagor as a result of such enforcement, automatically become the sublessee of said successor in interest, without change in the terms or other provisions of such sublease, provided, however, that said successor in interest shall not be bound by (i) any payment of rent or additional rent for more than one month in advance, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by said sublessee of its obligations under said sublease or (ii) any amendment or modification of the sublease made without the consent of each Mortgagee or such successor in interest. Each sublease shall also provide that, upon request by said successor in interest, such sublessee shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming such attornment.
1.18 In the event any payment provided for herein or in the Note shall become overdue for a period in excess of fifteen (15) days, a late charge of five (5) cents for each dollar so overdue shall become immediately due to each respective Mortgagee for the purpose of defraying the expenses incident to handling such delinquent payment, and such charge shall be deemed to be part of the Indebtedness and therefore secured by the lien of this Mortgage. Late charges shall be payable with the next installment of principal and/or interest due under the Note.
1.19 [RESERVED.]
1.20 The Mortgagor agrees that it shall indemnify and hold each Mortgagee harmless against any loss or liability, cost or expense, including without limitation, any judgments, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of appeal bonds and printing costs, arising out of or relating to any proceeding instituted by any claimant alleging priority over the lien of this Mortgage.
1.21 The Mortgagor expressly covenants and agrees to pay in full the reasonable fees and expenses of each Mortgagee’s counsel, promptly upon receipt of a statement therefor, which are incurred prior to and after the date hereof and which fees and expenses arise in connection with any matter incidental to the loan which is evidenced by the Note and secured by this Mortgage.
1.22 The Mortgagor hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that other than as set forth in the Environmental Report (as defined in the Loan Agreement), to the best of Mortgagor’s knowledge after due inquiry, the Leasehold Premises and the Improvements comply and shall hereafter comply with all laws, rules, regulations and ordinances of the state and the local governmental authorities where the Leasehold Premises are located and the United States of America relating to the storage, use, disposal, generation, transportation, and/or treatment of hazardous, toxic and/or radioactive matter and/or waste, including without limitation asbestos (collectively “Toxic Materials”). If the presence of Toxic Materials on the Leasehold Premises or in any Improvements has resulted in, and/or shall hereafter result in (a) contamination or deterioration of water or soil to a level of contamination greater than the levels permitted or established by any governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction over such contamination, (b) the termination or modification of any permit or authorization as to the use and/or occupancy of the Leasehold Premises or Improvements and/or (c) the inability to obtain or maintain insurance policies satisfactory to each Mortgagee, then the Mortgagor covenants and agrees to promptly take any and all action necessary to clean up such contamination to the extent required by any such governmental agency or authority and/or issuer of an insurance policy. The Mortgagor covenants and agrees to indemnify each Mortgagee and any affiliate or nominee of each Mortgagee and hold each Mortgagee and any affiliate or nominee of each Mortgagee harmless from any and all liabilities, losses, costs and/or expenses arising out of and/ or resulting from the existence and/or the removal of any Toxic Materials at, on, and/or in the Leasehold Premises or any part or parts thereof or the Improvements or any part or parts thereof and/or the effects of any such Toxic Materials located at, on and/or in the Leasehold Premises or any part or parts thereof or the Improvements or any part or parts thereof except for matters caused by any Mortgagee. The foregoing indemnity shall survive any foreclosure sale of the Leasehold Premises and any delivery by the Mortgagor and the acceptance by each Mortgagee of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Leasehold Premises.
1.23 Mortgagor will not consent to, join in, permit or allow any change in the zoning laws or ordinances relating to or affecting the Leasehold Premises, and will promptly notify each Mortgagee of any changes to the zoning laws affecting the Leasehold Premises of which it has received written notice thereof.
1.24 Except for the Prior Assignment, the Leases and the Releases, Mortgagor will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, mortgage, convey, sell, assign, lease, pledge or encumber the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof or any direct or indirect interest therein, without the
express prior written consent of each Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall not, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any liability for indebtedness (including subordinated indebtedness), whether secured or unsecured, except indebtedness due with respect to the Loan. Neither the structure of Mortgagor nor the direct or indirect ownership of Mortgagor may be changed from that existing on the date hereof, nor may Mortgagor consolidate with, be acquired by, or merge into or with any Person (as defined in the Loan Agreement), without the express prior written consent of each Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall not change the management structure of the Mortgagor or the Leasehold Premises, nor shall Mortgagor enter into any management and/or leasing agency or similar agreements with respect to the Leasehold Premises without the prior written consent of each Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything contained herein in or in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the following transfers shall be permitted hereunder: (a) the direct or indirect transfer in any Upper Tier Entity to one or more Family Members for estate planning purposes, provided that the transferor of any such interest shall at all times retain all decision-making authority with respect to such transferred interest, including all voting and consent rights with respect thereto, (b) the direct or indirect transfer, in one or a series of transactions, in any Upper Tier Entity, provided, however, as a condition to each such transfer set forth in (a) or (b) above: (i) Mortgagee shall receive not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice with respect to any direct transfer by an Upper Tier Entity of its direct interests in RBH-TRB Newark Holdings LLC, including, without limitation, the name of the proposed transferee and the date the transfer is expected to be effective, and Mortgagee shall be informed of any indirect transfer of any interests in the direct or indirect constituent members of any Upper Tier Entity which such Upper Tier Entity receives, or has the right to consent to, pursuant to its organizational documents, by such Upper Tier Entity delivering notice thereof to Mortgagee, (ii) the transferee must be in full compliance with all applicable orders, rules, regulations and recommendations of The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and must not be listed on any restricted list published by the Federal Government of the United States of America, (iii) at all times Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx shall continue to own (legally and beneficially), directly or indirectly, no less than a forty percent (40%) interest in RBH Partners, LLC, and (iv) at all times Xxx Beit-Halachmy shall (A) continue to control, directly or indirectly, Mortgagor, and (B) continue to own (legally and beneficially), directly or indirectly, no more than a twenty-five percent (25%) interest in Mortgagor.
1.25 Except for the Releases, in the event of any sale, conveyance, transfer, pledge or further encumbrance, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, of any interest therein, or in the event of any change in the ownership or composition of Mortgagor, or (except for the Prior Assignment) any further assignment of rents from the Mortgaged Property, or (except for the Leases) any lease of all or substantially all of the Mortgaged Property, the Leasehold Premises or the Improvements, without the prior written consent of each Mortgagee, then, at each Mortgagee’s option (and in addition to any other rights each Mortgagee may have pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage), each Mortgagee may declare that portion of the Loan secured by this Mortgage to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration such portion shall immediately become and be due and payable without demand or notice. Each Mortgagee’s consent shall be within its sole and absolute discretion, and each Mortgagee specifically reserves the right to condition its consent upon (by way of illustration but not by way of limitation) its approval of the financial and/or management ability of the purchaser, transferee, lessee, pledge or assignee, upon an agreement to escalate the interest rate
of the Note to each such Mortgagee’s then current interest rate for similarly situated properties, upon the assumption of the obligations and liabilities of the Note and this Mortgage by the purchaser, transferee, lessee, pledge or assignee, upon the receipt of guarantees of the Loan satisfactory to each such Mortgagee and/or additional collateral satisfactory to each such Mortgagee and upon payment to each such Mortgagee of an assumption fee. Mortgagor covenants and agrees that it shall not take any of the actions, or suffer any of the events, that would be a cause for acceleration of the portion of the Loan secured by this Mortgage pursuant to this Section, without the prior written consent of each Mortgagee. Any purchaser, transferee, lessee, pledge or assignee referred to above shall be deemed to have assumed and agreed to pay the portion of the Loan secured by this Mortgage and to have assumed and agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Mortgage (including, without limitation, the terms of this Section 1.25) unless each Mortgagee specifically agrees in writing to the contrary. Mortgagor agrees that, in the event ownership of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property becomes vested in a person other than Mortgagor, each Mortgagee may, without notice to the Mortgagor, deal in any way with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Mortgage, the other Loan Documents and the indebtedness, without in any way vitiating or discharging Mortgagor’s liability with respect thereto. No sale, conveyance, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or lease referred to above, and no forbearance, extension or assumption by or to any person with respect to the Indebtedness or any of the Loan Documents, shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the liability of Mortgagor either in whole or in part, unless each Mortgagee specifically agrees in writing to the contrary.
1.26 In addition to making payment of all rent, additional rent, tax and other payments and charges required to be made by Mortgagor, Mortgagor, as tenant under and pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease, covenants that it will:
(a) Diligently perform and observe all of the material terms, conditions and covenants of the Ground Lease required to be performed and observed by Mortgagor, to the end that all things shall be done which are reasonably necessary to keep unimpaired Mortgagor’s rights under the Ground Lease, and Mortgagor covenants that no release or forbearance of any of the obligations of Mortgagor under the Ground Lease, pursuant to the Ground Lease or otherwise shall release Mortgagor from any of its obligations under this Mortgage, including, without limitation, Mortgagor’s obligations under this Section 1.26(a);
(b) Upon having actual knowledge thereof, promptly notify Mortgagees in writing of any default by any party in the performance and observance of any of the terms, conditions or covenants to be performed or observed under the Ground Lease;
(c) Promptly notify Mortgagees in writing of the giving of any notice under the Ground Lease of any default of Mortgagor in the observance of any terms, covenants or conditions of the Ground Lease and deliver to Mortgagees a true copy of each such notice; and
(d) Not surrender the Leasehold Premises nor terminate or cancel the Ground Lease or enter into any agreement (whether oral or written) modifying, supplementing or amending the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of Mortgagees, and as security for the repayment of the obligations secured hereby Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagees all
rights and options to extend, renew, terminate or modify the Ground Lease in any manner whatsoever.
(e) Mortgagees shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to take any action Mortgagees deem necessary or desirable to prevent or to cure any default by Mortgagor in the performance of or compliance with any of Mortgagor’s obligations under the Ground Lease. Upon receipt by Mortgagees of any written notice of default by Mortgagor under the Ground Lease, Mortgagees may rely thereon and take any action as aforesaid to cure such default even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Mortgagor or by any party on behalf of Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby expressly grants to Mortgagees, and agrees that Mortgagees shall have, the absolute and immediate right to enter in and upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof to such extent and as often as Mortgagees, in their sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable in order to prevent or to cure any such default by Mortgagor. Mortgagees may pay and expend such sums of money as Mortgagees in their sole discretion deem necessary for any such purpose, and Mortgagor hereby agrees to pay to Mortgagees, immediately and without demand, all such sums so paid and expended by Mortgagees, together with interest thereon from the date of each such payment at the Involuntary Rate. All sums so paid and expended by Mortgagees, and the interest thereon, shall be added to and be secured by the lien of this Mortgage.
(f) As further security for the repayment of the obligations secured hereby and for the performance of the covenants contained herein and in the Ground Lease, Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagees all of its rights, privileges and prerogatives as lessee under the Ground Lease to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, and any such termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment by Mortgagor without the prior written consent thereto by Mortgagees shall be void and of no force and effect; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under this Mortgage, Mortgagees shall have no right to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease. Mortgagor represents and warrants that it has delivered to Mortgagees a true and accurate copy of the Ground Lease, together with all amendments thereto, if any.
(g) Unless Mortgagees shall otherwise expressly consent in writing, Mortgagor shall not cause or consent to the fee title to the Leasehold Premises merging with the leasehold estate in the Leasehold Premises and during Mortgagor’s ownership of the Leasehold Premises shall endeavor to always keep such interests separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in the lessor or in the lessee under the Ground Lease, or in a third party by purchase or otherwise.
(h) Mortgagor shall, from time to time, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the lessor under the Ground Leases such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Mortgagor with the terms of the Ground Leases as may be requested by Mortgagees.
ARTICLE II
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
2.1 If one or more of the following Events of Default shall happen, that is to say:
(a) if (i) default shall be made in the payment of any interest due under the Note, or in the payment of any installment of principal due under the Note, in either such case, when and as the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of five (5) days or (ii) default shall be made in any other payment of the principal of the Note, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity or by acceleration or as part of any prepayment or otherwise, in each case, as in the Note and this Mortgage provided or (iii) default in the payment of any other Indebtedness due to any Mortgagee under this Mortgage and such default shall have continued for a period of five (5) days after written notice thereof, or (iv) default shall be made in the payment of any tax required by Section 1.7 to be paid and said default shall have continued for a period of five (5) days after written notice thereof; provided, however, that if Mortgagor, within any twelve (12) month period, shall fail to make more than two (2) such payments by their due dates, said five (5) day period shall become null and void and of no further force or effect and failure to make payment shall become an immediate Event of Default, or
(b) if default shall be made in the due observance or performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Mortgagor contained in Section 1.1, 1.3, 1.8, or 1.9, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Mortgagor by Mortgagees. For the purposes of this clause if any representation made in Section 1.1 shall be incorrect, it shall be deemed to be a default; or
(c) if default shall be made in the due observance or performance of any other covenant or condition on the part of the Mortgagor in the Note, the Loan Agreement or in this Mortgage contained, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such default and demanding that the same be remedied shall have been given to the Mortgagor by Mortgagees; provided, however, if, in Mortgagees’ sole judgment said failure to comply is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30) day period and is not curable by the payment of money, then the Mortgagor shall have such additional time as Mortgagees deem reasonably necessary to cure such failure (but in no event will such additional time exceed sixty (60) days after the initial notice of such default) provided that (i) Mortgagor promptly proceeds to commence curing said failure to comply upon receipt of notice of said failure from Mortgagees, (ii) in the sole judgment of Mortgagees, Mortgagor thereafter diligently and continuously proceeds to cure said failure so as to cure said failure in the shortest time possible, (iii) such additional time to cure does not materially impair any rights and/or remedies of Mortgagees and will not adversely affect the completion of the Improvements by the Completion Date and (iv) the Mortgagor furnishes to Mortgagees, upon demand of Mortgagees, such documents and information with respect to Mortgagor’s curing of said failure to comply, as Mortgagees may reasonably request; or
(d) if by the order of a court of competent jurisdiction, a trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or of the Mortgagor shall be appointed and such order shall not be discharged or dismissed within ninety (90) days after such appointment; or
(e) if the Mortgagor shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law or to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Mortgagor or of any substantial part of its property, or if the Mortgagor shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if the Mortgagor shall fail generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or if the Mortgagor shall take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or
(f) if any of the creditors of the Mortgagor shall commence against the Mortgagor an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect and if such case shall not be discharged or dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date on which such case was commenced; or
(g) if final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate shall be rendered against the Mortgagor and the Mortgagor shall not discharge the same or cause it to be discharged within sixty (60) days from the entry thereof, or shall not appeal therefrom or from the order, decree or process upon which or pursuant to which said judgment was granted, based or entered, and secure a stay of execution pending such appeal; or
(h) except for the Releases, if any sale, conveyance, transfer, pledge or further encumbrance, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, of any interest therein, or in the event of any change in the ownership or composition of Mortgagor, or any further assignment of rents from the Mortgaged Property (except for the Prior Assignment), or any lease of all or substantially all of the Mortgaged Property (except for the Leases), the Leasehold Premises or the Improvements, shall occur, without the prior written consent of each Mortgagee; or
(i) if Mortgagor shall fail to maintain its legal existence in good standing in its state of incorporation; or
(j) if the Mortgagor defaults beyond any applicable notice and cure periods under any other agreement with any Mortgagee; or
(k) if any easement over, across, under or otherwise affecting the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof shall be granted or released without each Mortgagee’s prior written consent or if there shall be a default by Mortgagor under any easement, covenant or restriction affecting the Leasehold Premises or any portion thereof or if any easement in favor of the Leasehold Premises or any portion thereof shall be terminated or modified; or
(l) if Mortgagor shall assign any lease or the rents from any lease for all or a part of the Leasehold Premises other than the Prior Assignment, without the prior written consent of each Mortgagee, or shall enter into, amend, extend, renew, abridge or otherwise modify, any lease, or shall cancel or consent to the cancellation or surrender of any lease unless in the ordinary course and in accordance with reasonably prudent management practice, or shall in any other manner materially impair the security of any Mortgagee for the payment of the debt secured by this Mortgage; or
(l) if Mortgagor incurs any additional indebtedness, with the exception of the Loan and trade payables customarily incurred in the ordinary course of business without the prior written consent of each Mortgagee; or
(m) if the Mortgaged Property or any material part thereof shall be condemned; or
(n) if any material adverse change in the Mortgagor, any Guarantor, or the Mortgaged Property shall occur; or
(o) if any person or entity having or claiming an interest in the Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property commences an action or proceeding against the Mortgagor, the Mortgaged Property or any person or entity having or claiming an interest in the Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property and such action or proceeding shall be finally determined in a manner that adversely affects any Mortgagee’s rights, remedies and/or position hereunder,
then and in every such case:
(I) During the continuance of any such Event of Default each Mortgagee, by written notice given to the Mortgagor, may declare the entire principal of the Note then outstanding (if not then due and payable), and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon together with all other Indebtedness, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the principal of the Note, said accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other Indebtedness shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Note, in this Mortgage or in the Loan Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding;
(II) During the continuance of any such Event of Default, each Mortgagee personally, or by its agents or attorneys, may enter into and upon all or any part of the Leasehold Premises, and each and every part thereof, and may exclude the Mortgagor, its agents and servants wholly therefrom; and having and holding the same, may use, operate, manage and control the Leasehold Premises and conduct the business thereof, either personally or by its superintendents, managers, agents, servants, attorneys or receivers; and upon every such entry, any such Mortgagee, at the expense of the Mortgaged Property, from time to time, either by purchase, repairs or construction, may maintain and restore the Mortgaged Property, whereof it shall become possessed as aforesaid, may complete the construction of the Improvements and in the course of such completion may make such changes in the contemplated Improvements as it may deem desirable and may insure the same; and likewise, from time to time, at the expense of the Mortgaged Property, any such Mortgagee may make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals and replacements and such useful alterations, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon as to it may seem advisable; and in every such case each Mortgagee shall have the right to manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and to carry on the business thereof and exercise all rights and powers of the Mortgagor with respect thereto either in the name of the Mortgagor or otherwise as it shall deem best; and each Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income of the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof, all of which shall for all purposes constitute property of the Mortgagor; and after deducting the expenses of conducting the business thereof and of all maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements and amounts
necessary to pay for taxes, assessments, insurance and prior or other proper charges upon the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of each Mortgagee and for all attorneys, counsel, agents, clerks, servants and other employees by it properly engaged and employed, each such Mortgagee shall apply the moneys arising as aforesaid, first, to the payment of the principal of the Note and the interest thereon, when and as the same shall become payable and second, to the payment of any other Indebtedness and sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage;
(III) Each Mortgagee, with or without entry, personally or by its agents or attorneys, insofar as applicable, may:
(1) [Reserved]
(2) institute proceedings for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Mortgage; or
(3) take such steps to protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit or proceeding in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in the Note or in the Loan Agreement or in this Mortgage, or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as each Mortgagee shall elect.
(IV) Each Mortgagee also shall have such other rights and/or remedies provided to a mortgagee and/or secured party by the Uniform Commercial Code, as that model statute is enacted and in effect in the jurisdiction wherein the Leasehold Premises are situated.
2.2 (a) Each Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Mortgage by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, each Mortgagee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.
(b) Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by any Mortgagee under or by virtue of this Article II, any such Mortgagee, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold and shall execute and deliver to the appropriate governmental authority any affidavit, instrument, document and/or filing required pursuant to any applicable statute, ordinance, rule and/or regulation. Each Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of the Mortgagor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Mortgaged Property and rights so sold and for that purpose the Mortgagee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, including, without limitation, any affidavit, instrument, document or filing required pursuant to any applicable statute, rule or regulation and may substitute one or more persons with like power, the Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof.
Nevertheless the Mortgagor, if so requested by any Mortgagee, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to such Mortgagee or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the reasonable judgment of such Mortgagee, for that purpose, and as may be designated in such request. Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Article II, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings of sale, herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of the Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Mortgagor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under the Mortgagor. In addition, Mortgagor expressly agrees that any powers of attorney executed by Mortgagor subsequent to the date hereof shall expressly state that the power of attorney provided for in this Mortgage shall continue to be in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage.
(c) In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article II (whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), the entire principal of, and interest on, the Note, if not previously due and payable, and all other sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor pursuant to this Mortgage, immediately thereupon shall, anything in the Note or in this Mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding, become due and payable.
(d) The purchase money, proceeds or avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article II, together with any other sums which then may be held by each Mortgagee under this Mortgage, whether under the provisions of this Article II or otherwise, shall be applied as follows:
First: To the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale, including, but not limited to, the reasonable compensation to each Mortgagee, the agents and counsel of each, and any sums that may be due under and/or pursuant to any statute, rule, regulation and/or law which imposes any tax, charge, fee and/or levy in connection with and/or arising from the exercise of any right and/or remedy under this Mortgage or the requirement that any sum be paid in order to record and/or file any deed, instrument of transfer or other such document in connection with any such sale, and of any judicial proceedings wherein the same may be made, and of all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by each Mortgagee under this Mortgage, together with interest at the Involuntary Rate on all advances made by each Mortgagee and all taxes or assessments, except any taxes, assessments or other charges subject to which the Mortgaged Property shall have been sold.
Second: To the payment of the whole amount then due, owing or unpaid upon the Note for principal and interest, with interest on the unpaid principal at the Involuntary Rate from and after the happening of any Event of Default described in Section 2.1 from the due date of any such payment of principal until the same is paid.
Third: To the payment of any other Indebtedness and any other sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, the Note or the Loan Agreement.
Fourth: To the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
(e) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Article II whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, each Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the indebtedness of the Mortgagor secured by this Mortgage the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action and any other sums which each Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage.
2.3 (a) In case an Event of Default described in Section 2.1 shall have happened and be continuing, then, upon written demand of any Mortgagee, the Mortgagor will pay to each such Mortgagee the whole amount which then shall have become due and payable on the Note, for principal or interest or both, as the case may be, and after the happening of said Event of Default will also pay to each such Mortgagee interest at the Involuntary Rate on the then unpaid principal of the Note, and the sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to each such Mortgagee, its agents, and counsel and any reasonable expenses incurred by each such Mortgagee hereunder. In the event the Mortgagor shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, each Mortgagee shall be entitled and empowered to institute such action or proceedings at law or in equity as may be advised by its counsel for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Mortgagor and collect, out of the property of the Mortgagor wherever situated, as well as out of the Mortgaged Property, in any manner provided by law, money adjudged or decreed to be payable.
(b) Each Mortgagee shall be entitled to recover judgment as aforesaid either before or after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of the provisions of this Mortgage; and the right of each Mortgagee to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any entry or sale hereunder, or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions of this Mortgage, or the foreclosure of the lien hereof; and in the event of a sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and of the application of the proceeds of sale, as in this Mortgage provided, to the payment of the debt hereby secured, each Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of, and to receive all amounts then remaining due and unpaid upon the Note, and to enforce payment of all other charges, payments, costs and amounts due under this Mortgage, and shall be entitled to recover judgment for any portion of the debt remaining unpaid, with interest at the Involuntary Rate. In case of the commencement of any case against the Mortgagor under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereinafter in effect or any proceedings for its reorganization or involving the liquidation of its assets, then each Mortgagee shall be entitled to prove the whole amount of principal and interest due upon the Note to the full amount thereof, and all other payments, charges, costs and amounts due under this Mortgage, without deducting therefrom any proceeds obtained from the sale of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property, provided, however,
that in no case shall any Mortgagee receive a greater amount than such principal and interest and such other payments, charges and costs from the aggregate amount of the proceeds of the sale of the Mortgaged Property and the distribution from the estate of the Mortgagor.
(c) No recovery of any judgment by any Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of the Mortgagor shall affect in any manner or to any extent, the lien of this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, of any liens, rights, powers or remedies of each Mortgagee hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of the Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before.
(d) Any moneys thus collected by each Mortgagee under this Section 2.3 shall be applied by each Mortgagee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of Section 2.2.
2.4 After the happening of any Event of Default and immediately upon the commencement of any action, suit or other legal proceedings by any Mortgagee to obtain judgment for the principal of, or interest on, the Note and/or all other Indebtedness and/or other sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, or of any other nature in aid of the enforcement of the Note or of this Mortgage, the Mortgagor will (a) waive the issuance and service of process and enter its voluntary appearance in such action, suit or proceeding, and (b) if required by any Mortgagee, consent to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and of all the earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income thereof. After the happening of any Event of Default and during its continuance, or upon the commencement of any proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage or to enforce the specific performance hereof or in aid thereof or upon the commencement of any other judicial proceeding to enforce any right of any Mortgagee, such Mortgagee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, if it shall so elect, without the giving of notice to any other party and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of any security for the Indebtedness, forthwith either before or after declaring the unpaid principal of the Note to be due and payable, to the appointment of such a receiver or receivers.
2.5 Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Mortgagor, or of any of its property, or of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, the Mortgagor shall be entitled to retain possession and control of all Property now or hereafter held under this Mortgage.
2.6 No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to each Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission of each Mortgagee to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Mortgage to each Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by each Mortgagee. Nothing in this Mortgage or in the Note shall affect the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Note in the manner and at the time and place therein respectively expressed.
2.7 The Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any benefit or advantage of any stay or extension or moratorium law, any exemption from execution or sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants and terms of performance of this Mortgage, nor claim, take or insist upon any benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof which may be made pursuant to any provision herein, or pursuant to the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after any such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted to redeem the property so sold, or any part thereof, and the Mortgagor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted or delegated to each Mortgagee, but to suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted. The Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to the extent that it lawfully may, all right to have the Mortgaged Property marshaled upon any foreclosure hereof.
2.8 During the continuance of any Event of Default and pending the exercise by each Mortgagee of its right to exclude the Mortgagor from all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor agrees to pay the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupancy of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, which are in its possession for such period, and upon default of any such payment, will vacate and surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to each Mortgagee or to a receiver, if any, and if in default thereof may be evicted by any summary action or proceeding for the recovery of possession of premises for non-payment of rent, however designated.
ARTICLE III
MISCELLANEOUS
3.1 In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage or in the Note or in the Loan Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall, at the option of each Mortgagee, not affect any other provision of this Mortgage, but this Mortgage shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.
3.2 All notices and/or consents, hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes when delivered in person or one (1) day after being sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (e.g. FedEx) or three (3) days after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to Mortgagor at its address above stated, with a copy to XxXxxxxxx & Scotland, LLC, Attention: Xxxxx X. Scotland, Esq.; in the case of each Mortgagee, at its respective address above stated, with copy to Administrative Agent at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, or at such other address of which it shall have notified the party giving such notice in writing as aforesaid.
3.3 Whenever in this Mortgage the giving of notice by mail or otherwise is required, the giving of such notice may be waived in writing by the person or persons entitled to receive such notice.
3.4 All of the grants, terms, conditions, provisions and covenants of this Mortgage shall run with the land, shall be binding upon the Mortgagor and shall inure to the benefit of each Mortgagee, subsequent holders of this Mortgage and their respective successors and assigns. For the purpose of this Mortgage, the term “Mortgagor” shall include and refer to the Mortgagor named herein, any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns. If there is more than one Mortgagor, all their undertakings hereunder shall be deemed joint and several.

In the event that the payment of any charges, fees or other sums due hereunder or under the Note or any such other agreement which are or could be held to be in the nature of interest and which would subject each Mortgagee to any penalty or forfeiture under applicable law, then ipso facto the obligations of the Mortgagor to make such payment shall be reduced to the highest rate authorized under applicable law. Should any Mortgagee receive any payment which is or would be in excess of the highest rate authorized under law, such payment shall have been, and shall be deemed to have been, made in error and shall automatically be applied to reduce the outstanding balance of the Indebtedness.
3.6 The truth, accuracy, adequacy and completeness of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Mortgage and the Note shall survive, and not merge with, the execution and delivery of this Mortgage and the Note.
3.7 Whenever the consent or approval of each Mortgagee is required, the decision whether to consent or approve shall be in the sole and absolute but reasonable discretion of each Mortgagee.
3.8 This Mortgage, the Note and all other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith shall be given a fair and reasonable construction in accordance with the intention of the parties as expressed herein and therein and without regard for any rule of law requiring construction against the party who prepares such instruments.
3.9 The Mortgagor expressly agrees, intending that each Mortgagee rely thereon, that this Mortgage also shall constitute a “security agreement,” as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code in the jurisdiction wherein the Leasehold Premises are situated (the “Code”) the Mortgaged Property includes, and shall be deemed to include, inter alia, the Chattels and the Intangibles, regardless of whether they are held or hereafter acquired, of the Mortgagor in, to and under the Mortgaged Property. By executing and delivering this Mortgage, the Mortgagor has granted, in the same manner and with the same effect described in the Granting Clause hereof, to each Mortgagee, as additional security, a security interest in the Chattels and the Intangibles
which are subject to the Code. If any Event of Default shall occur, each Mortgagee shall have, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies set forth in this Mortgage, and may exercise without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party under the Code, including, but not limited to, the right to take possession of the Chattels and the Intangibles, or any part thereof, and the right to advertise and sell the Chattels and the Intangibles, or any part thereof, pursuant to and in accordance with the power of sale provided for in this Mortgage. The Mortgagor agrees that any notice of sale or other action intended by each Mortgagee with respect to the Chattels and the Intangibles, or any part thereof, shall constitute reasonable notice if it is sent to the Mortgagor not less than ten (10) days prior to any such sale or intended action. The proceeds of any such sale of the Chattels and the Intangibles, or any part thereof, shall be applied in the manner set forth in clauses First through Fourth of Section 2.2Artic(d) of this Mortgage.
