(c) This Mortgage conforms and complies with the terms of each Mortgaged Lease, does not constitute a violation under any Mortgaged Lease and is and at all times shall constitute a valid lien (subject only to those matters permitted by this Mortgage) on Mortgagor’s interests in each Mortgaged Lease.
(d) Promptly after the date hereof, and again promptly after execution of any amendment to this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall notify the Landlord under the Mortgaged Leases of the execution and delivery of this Mortgage or amendment, as the case may be.
(e) Mortgagor hereby irrevocably delegates to Mortgagee the nonexclusive authority to exercise any or all of Mortgagor’s rights, including the right to give any and all notices to Landlord under each Mortgaged Lease, whether or not Mortgagor has failed to exercise such right. Nothing in the foregoing delegation of authority shall be deemed to impose any obligation or duty upon Mortgagee. Notwithstanding such delegation of authority, Mortgagee grants Mortgagor a revocable exclusive license to exercise such authority which license may only be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default in accordance with the Indenture.
(f) Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any notice of default received by Mortgagor under any Mortgaged Lease or sent by Mortgagor thereunder.

On receipt by Mortgagee from Mortgagor pursuant to this Subsection 3.10(f), or from the Landlord under any Mortgaged Lease, of any such notice of default by, or inability to make any payment by, Mortgagor thereunder, Mortgagee may rely thereon and, after notice to Mortgagor, take such action as Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable to cure such default.

Any such termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration, amendment or extension without the prior written consent contemplated by this Subsection 3.10(g) shall be void and of no force or effect; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall not have any obligation to renew any Mortgaged Lease, exercise any right, if any, to renew any Mortgaged Lease or exercise any purchase option, if any, under any Mortgaged Lease.
-16-
(h) No release or forbearance of any of Mortgagor’s obligations under any Mortgaged Lease, pursuant to the terms thereof, by agreement, operation of law or otherwise, shall release Mortgagor from any of Mortgagor’s obligations under this Mortgage, including, without limitation, the performance of all of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Mortgaged Leases to be performed by Mortgagor thereunder; provided, however, that should any of the Mortgaged Leases expire in accordance with the terms thereof, this Section 3.10(h) shall not apply.
(i) The leasehold estates of Mortgagor created by each Mortgaged Lease and the estates of Landlord under each Mortgaged Lease shall each at all times remain separate and apart and retain their separate identities, and no merger of the leasehold or easement estates of Mortgagor with the estates of the Landlord will result with respect to Mortgagee or with respect to any purchaser acquiring the Mortgaged Property at any sale on foreclosure of the Lien of this Mortgage without the written consent of Mortgagee. In the event the Mortgagor shall acquire a fee interest or other interest in any of the Land and Improvements demised under any Mortgaged Lease, the Mortgagor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all instruments requested by the Mortgagee to confirm the Lien evidenced hereby upon such fee estate or other interest.
(j) Mortgagor covenants and agrees that each Mortgaged Lease now is and shall at all times while the Secured Obligations remain outstanding be subject in each and every respect to the terms, conditions and Lien of this Mortgage to the extent of Mortgagor’s leasehold interest in each respective Mortgaged Lease. Mortgagor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments requested by Mortgagee to confirm the foregoing.
(k) Except as required by each Mortgaged Lease, Mortgagor shall not subordinate, or consent to the subordination of, any Mortgaged Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien encumbering Landlord’s (under each Mortgaged Lease) estate in the Land demised thereunder.
(l) Mortgagor’s obligations under this Mortgage are independent of and in addition to Mortgagor’s obligations under the Mortgaged Leases. Nothing in this Mortgage shall be construed to require Mortgagor or Mortgagee to take or omit to take any action that would cause a default under any Mortgaged Lease.
(m) Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee after learning of the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceeding affecting any Landlord under a Mortgaged Lease or the occurrence of any event that could, with the passage of time, constitute such a proceeding. Mortgagor shall also promptly forward to Mortgagee copies of any documents, notices, summonses and other documents that Mortgagor receives in connection with any such Landlord’s bankruptcy or related proceeding.
SECTION 3.11. Treatment of Mortgaged Leases in Bankruptcy. (a) If any Landlord under any Mortgage Lease rejects or disaffirms, or seeks or purports to reject or disaffirm, any such Mortgaged Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then Mortgagor shall not

exercise the 365(h) Election except as otherwise provided in this paragraph. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall not suffer or permit the termination of a Mortgaged Lease by exercise of the 365(h) Election or otherwise without Mortgagee’s consent. Mortgagor acknowledges that because the Mortgaged Leases are a primary element of Mortgagee’s security for the Secured Obligations, it is not anticipated that Mortgagee would consent to termination of any Mortgaged Lease. If Mortgagor makes any 365(h) Election in violation of this Mortgage, then such 365(h) Election shall be void and of no force or effect.
(b) Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the 365(h) Election with respect to each Mortgaged Lease until the Secured Obligations have been satisfied in full. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing assignment of the 365(h) Election and related rights is one of the rights that Mortgagee may use at any time to protect and preserve Mortgagee’s other rights and interests under this Mortgage. Mortgagor further acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of terminating any Mortgaged Lease would constitute waste prohibited by this Mortgage.
(c) Mortgagor acknowledges that if the 365(h) Election is exercised in favor of Mortgagor’s remaining in possession under a Mortgaged Lease, then Mortgagor’s resulting occupancy rights, as adjusted by the effect of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall then be part of the Mortgaged Property and shall be subject to the lien of this Mortgage.
SECTION 3.12. Rejection of Mortgaged Lease(s) by Landlord. If a Landlord under any Mortgaged Lease rejects or disaffirms any such Mortgaged Lease or purports or seeks to disaffirm any such Mortgaged Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then:
(a) Mortgagor shall remain in possession of the premises demised under any such Mortgaged Lease so rejected or disaffirmed and shall perform all acts necessary for Mortgagor to remain in such possession for the unexpired term of any such Mortgaged Lease, whether the then existing terms and provisions of such Mortgaged Lease require such acts or otherwise; and
(b) All the terms and provisions of this Mortgage and the lien created by this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect and shall extend automatically to all of Mortgagor’s rights and remedies arising at any time under, or pursuant to, Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including all of Mortgagor’s rights to remain in possession of the Land.
SECTION 3.13. Assignment of Claims to Mortgagee . Mortgagor, immediately upon learning that a Landlord under any Mortgaged Lease has failed to perform the terms and provisions thereunder (including by reason of a rejection or disaffirmance or purported rejection or disaffirmance of any such Mortgaged Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law), shall notify Mortgagee of any such failure to perform. Mortgagor unconditionally assigns, transfers, and sets over to Mortgagee any and all damage claims thereunder. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of all damage claims under the Mortgaged Leases, and shall continue in effect until the Secured Obligations have been satisfied in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee grants to Mortgagor a revocable license to exercise any such
-18-
Mortgaged Lease damage claims which license may only be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
SECTION 3.14. New Lease Issued to Mortgagee. If any Mortgaged Lease is for any reason whatsoever terminated before the expiration of its term and, pursuant to any provision thereof, Mortgagee or its designee shall acquire from Landlord thereunder a new lease of the relevant Leased Premises, then Mortgagor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new leases or the estates created thereby.

CONCERNING ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
SECTION 6.1. Present Assignment; License to the Mortgagor . Section 2.2 of this Mortgage constitutes a present, absolute, effective, irrevocable and complete assignment by Mortgagor to the Mortgagee of the Leases and Rents and the right, subject to applicable law, to collect all sums payable to Mortgagor thereunder and apply the same as Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate (including the payment of costs and expenses in connection with the maintenance, operation, improvement, insurance, taxes and upkeep of the Mortgaged Property), which is not conditioned upon Mortgagee being in possession of the Premises. The Mortgagee hereby grants to the Mortgagor, however, a license to collect and apply the Rents and to enforce the obligations of Tenants under the Leases. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the license granted in the immediately preceding sentence shall cease and terminate, with or without any notice, action or proceeding or the intervention of a receiver appointed by a court.

The Mortgagee shall be accountable to the Mortgagor only for Rents actually received by the Mortgagee. The collection of such Rents and the application thereof shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or waive, modify or affect notice of Event of Default or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
(ii) The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Tenant under each Lease to rely upon and comply with any and all notices or demands from the Mortgagee for payment of Rents to the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor shall have no claim against Tenant for Rents paid by Tenant to the Mortgagee pursuant to such notice or demand.

SECTION 6.3. No Release. Neither this Mortgage nor any action or inaction on the part of the Mortgagee shall release Tenant under any Lease, any guarantor of any Lease or the Mortgagor from any of their respective obligations under such Leases or constitute an assumption of any such obligation on the part of the Mortgagee. No action or failure to act on the part of the Mortgagor shall adversely affect or limit the rights of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage or, through this Mortgage, under such Leases. Nothing contained herein shall operate or be construed to (i) obligate the Mortgagee to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in any Lease or otherwise to impose any obligation upon the Mortgagee with respect to such Lease (including, without limitation, any obligation arising out of any covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in such Lease in the event that Tenant under such Lease shall have been joined as a party defendant in any action by which the estate of such Tenant shall be terminated) or (ii) place upon the Mortgagee any obligation for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Premises.

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee may at its option, in addition to any other action permitted under this Mortgage or the Indenture or by law, statute or in equity, take one or more of the following actions to the greatest extent permitted by local law:
(i) by written notice to the Mortgagor, declare the entire unpaid amount of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately;
-26-
(ii) personally, or by its agents or attorneys, (A) enter into and upon and take possession of all or any part of the Premises together with the books, records and accounts of the Mortgagor relating thereto and, exclude the Mortgagor, its agents and servants wholly therefrom, (B) use, operate, manage and control the Premises and conduct the business thereof, (C) maintain and restore the Premises, (D) make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals and replacements and such useful Alterations thereto and thereon as the Mortgagee may deem advisable, (E) manage, lease and operate the Premises and 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 to the extent permitted by applicable law or (F) collect and receive all Rents. The Mortgagee shall be under no liability for or by reason of any such taking of possession, entry, removal or holding, operation or management except that any amounts so received by the Mortgagee shall be applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement;
(iii) with or without entry, personally or by its agents or attorneys, (A) sell the Mortgaged Property and all estate, right, title and interest, claim and demand therein at one or more sales in one or more parcels, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3 or (B) institute and prosecute proceedings for the complete or partial foreclosure of the Lien and security interests created and evidenced hereby; or
(iv) take such steps to protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents, or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Mortgage, or for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as the Mortgagee shall elect.
SECTION 11.3. Sale of Mortgaged Property if Event of Default Occurs; Proceeds of Sale. (i) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee may institute an action to foreclose this Mortgage or take such other action as may be permitted and available to the Mortgagee at law or in equity for the enforcement of the Indenture and the Notes and realization on the Mortgaged Property and proceeds thereon through power of sale or to final judgment and execution thereof for the Secured Obligations, and in furtherance thereof this Mortgage shall be subject to foreclosure and may be foreclosed as now provided by law in case of past due mortgages, and Mortgagee shall be authorized, at its option, whether or not possession of the Mortgaged Property is taken, after giving notice by publication once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks of the time, place and terms of each such sale, together with a description of the Mortgaged Property, by publication in a newspaper published in the county or counties wherein the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof is located, to sell the Mortgaged Property (or such part or parts thereof as Mortgagee may from time to time elect to sell) in front of such county’s main or front courthouse door, at public outcry, to the highest bidder for cash. The purchaser at any such sale or sales shall be under no obligation to see to the proper application of the purchase money. At any foreclosure sale, any part or all of the Mortgaged Property,
-27-
real, personal or mixed, may be offered for sale in parcels or en masse for one total price, the proceeds of any such sale en masse to be accounted for in one account without distinction between the items included therein or without assigning to them any proportion of such proceeds, Mortgagor hereby waiving the application of any doctrine of marshaling or like proceeding. In case Mortgagee, in the exercise of the power of sale herein given, elects to sell the Mortgaged Property in parts or parcels, sales thereof may be held from time to time, and the power of sale granted herein shall not be fully exercised until all of the Mortgaged Property not previously sold shall have been sold or all the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full. The Mortgagee may execute and deliver to the purchaser at such sale a conveyance of the Mortgaged Property in fee simple and an assignment or conveyance of all the Mortgagor’s Interest in the Leases and the Mortgaged Property, each of which conveyances and assignments shall contain recitals as to the Event of Default upon which the execution of the power of sale herein granted depends, and the Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints the Mortgagee the true and lawful attorney in fact of the Mortgagor to make any such recitals, sale, assignment and conveyance, and all of the acts of the Mortgagee as such attorney in fact are hereby ratified and confirmed. The Mortgagor agrees that such recitals shall be binding and conclusive upon the Mortgagor and that any assignment or conveyance to be made by the Mortgagee shall divest, to the greatest extent permitted by law, the Mortgagor of all right, title, interest, equity and right of redemption, including any statutory redemption, in and to the Mortgaged Property. The power and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or dissolution, or otherwise, and are in addition to any and all other remedies which the Mortgagee may have hereunder, at law or in equity. So long as the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, remain unpaid, the Mortgagor agrees that possession of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor, or any person claiming under the Mortgagor, shall be as tenant, and, in case of a sale under power or upon foreclosure as provided in this Mortgage, the Mortgagor and any person in possession under the Mortgagor, as to whose interest such sale was not made subject, shall, at the option of the purchaser at such sale, then become and be tenants holding over, and shall forthwith deliver possession to such purchaser, or be summarily dispossessed in accordance with the laws applicable to tenants holding over. In case of any sale under this Mortgage by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Mortgaged Property may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels in such manner or order as the Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect. One or more exercises of powers herein granted shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers, until the entire Mortgaged Property is sold or all amounts secured hereby are paid in full.
(ii) In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article XI, the entire principal of, and interest in respect of the Secured Obligations, if not previously due and payable, shall, at the option of the Mortgagee, immediately become due and payable, anything in this Mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding.
(iii) The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article XI, together with any other sums which then may be held by the Mortgagee under this Mortgage, whether under the provisions of this Article XI or otherwise, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(iv) The Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof at any sale made under or by virtue of this Article XI and, in lieu of paying cash
-28-
therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the purchase price the unpaid amounts (whether or not then due and owing) in respect of the Secured Obligations, after deducting from the sales price the expense of the sale and the reasonable costs of the action or proceedings and any other sums that the Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage.
(v) The Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue hereof by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales, and, the Mortgagee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.
(vi) If the Premises is comprised of more than one parcel of land, the Mortgagee may take any of the actions authorized by this Section 11.3 in respect of any or a number of individual parcels.
SECTION 11.4. Additional Remedies in Case of an Event of Default. (i) The Mortgagee shall be entitled to recover judgment as aforesaid either before, after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of the provisions hereof, and the right of the 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 hereof, or the foreclosure of, or absolute conveyance pursuant to, this Mortgage. In case of proceedings against the Mortgagor in insolvency or bankruptcy or any proceedings for its reorganization or involving the liquidation of its assets, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to prove the whole amount of principal and interest and other payments, charges and costs due in respect of the Secured Obligations to the full amount thereof 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 the Mortgagee receive a greater amount than the aggregate of such principal, interest and such other payments, charges and costs (with interest at the Default Rate) from the proceeds of the sale of the Mortgaged Property and the distribution from the estate of the Mortgagor.
(ii) Any recovery of any judgment by the Mortgagee and any levy of any execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property shall not affect in any manner or to any extent the Lien and security interests created and evidenced hereby upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any conveyances, powers, rights and remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder, but such conveyances, powers, rights and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.
(iii) Any monies collected by the Mortgagee under this Section 11.4 shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3(iii).
SECTION 11.5. Legal Proceedings After an Event of Default. (i) After the occurrence of any Event of Default and during its continuance and immediately upon the commencement of any action, suit or legal proceedings to obtain judgment for the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, or of any proceedings to foreclose the Lien and security interest created and evidenced hereby or otherwise enforce the provisions hereof or of any other proceedings in aid of the enforcement hereof, the Mortgagor shall enter its voluntary appearance in such action, suit or proceeding.
-29-
(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee shall be entitled forthwith as a matter of right, concurrently or independently of any other right or remedy hereunder either before or after declaring the Secured Obligations or any part thereof to be due and payable, to the appointment of a receiver without giving notice to any party and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations or the solvency or insolvency of any person or entity then legally or equitably liable for the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof. The Mortgagor hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, the Mortgagee shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits or instruments at the time held by or payable or deliverable under the terms of the Indenture to the Mortgagee.
(iii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagor shall not (A) at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever 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 hereof, (B) claim, take or insist on 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 of the Mortgaged Property which may be made pursuant to this Mortgage, or pursuant to any decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction or (C) 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. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagor hereby expressly (A) waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws, including, without limitation, any statute of limitations applicable to this Mortgage, (B) waives all rights to have the Mortgaged Property marshalled on any foreclosure of this Mortgage, (C) waives any and all rights to trial by jury in any action or proceeding related to the enforcement hereof, (D) waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding brought in connection with this Mortgage and further waives and agrees not to plead that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (E) covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted or delegated to the Mortgagee by this Mortgage but to suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted. The Mortgagee shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article XI in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 11.6. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee by this Mortgage 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 under this Mortgage or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Any delay or omission of the Mortgagee to exercise any right or power accruing on any Event of Default shall not impair any such right or power and shall not be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in any such Event of Default. Every power and remedy given by this Mortgage may be exercised from time to time concurrently or independently, when and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee in such order and manner as the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect. If the Mortgagee accepts any monies required to be paid by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage after the same become due, such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of the right either to require prompt payment, when due, of all other sums secured by this Mortgage
-30-
or to declare an Event of Default with regard to subsequent defaults. If the Mortgagee accepts any monies required to be paid by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage in an amount less than the sum then due, such acceptance shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and on the condition that it shall not constitute a waiver of the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the entire sum then due, and the Mortgagor’s failure to pay the entire sum then due shall be and continue to be a default hereunder notwithstanding acceptance of such amount on account.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Mortgagor shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them.
(ii) Survival. The obligations of the Mortgagor contained in this Section 14.6 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of the Mortgagor’s other obligations under this Mortgage, the Indenture and the other Security Documents.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF MORTGAGEE TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST MORTGAGOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

SECTION 14.13. Limitation on Interest Payable. It is the intention of the parties to conform strictly to the usury laws, whether state or Federal, that are applicable to the transaction of which this Mortgage is a part. All agreements between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether oral or written, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid by the Mortgagor for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned or advanced under the Indenture or any related document or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in the Indenture or any related document exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable Federal or state usury laws. If under any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any such provision, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity. If under any circumstances the Mortgagor shall have paid an amount deemed interest by applicable law, which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be excessive interest under applicable usury laws shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing in respect of the Secured Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal and any other amounts due hereunder, the excess shall be refunded to the Mortgagor. All sums paid or agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance or detention of the principal under any extension of credit by the Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and to the extent necessary to preclude exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date hereof until payment in full of the Secured Obligations so that the actual rate of interest on account of such principal amounts is uniform throughout the term hereof.
SECTION 14.14. Business Days. In the event any time period or any date provided in this Mortgage ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such other day.
SECTION 14.15. Relationship. The relationship of the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor hereunder is strictly and solely that of lender and borrower and mortgagor and mortgagee and nothing contained in the Indenture, the Notes, this Mortgage or any other document or instrument now existing and delivered in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the
-37-
Secured Obligations is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any circumstance be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever between the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor other than as lender and borrower and mortgagor and mortgagee.
SECTION 14.16. Waiver of Stay. (i) The Mortgagor agrees that in the event that the Mortgagor or any property or assets of the Mortgagor shall hereafter become the subject of a voluntary or involuntary proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or the Mortgagor shall otherwise be a party to any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar proceeding to which the provisions relating to the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision in any such law is applicable, then, in any such case, whether or not the Mortgagee has commenced foreclosure proceedings under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to relief from any such automatic stay as it relates to the exercise of any of the rights and remedies (including, without limitation, any foreclosure proceedings) available to the Mortgagee as provided in this Mortgage, in any other Security Document or any other document evidencing the Secured Obligations.
(ii) The Mortgagee shall have the right to petition or move any court having jurisdiction over any proceeding described in Section 14.16(i) hereof for the purposes provided therein, and the Mortgagor agrees (A) not to oppose any such petition or motion and (B) at the Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense, to assist and cooperate with the Mortgagee, as may be requested by the Mortgagee from time to time, in obtaining any relief requested by the Mortgagee, including, without limitation, by filing any such petitions, supplemental petitions, requests for relief, documents, instruments or other items from time to time requested by the Mortgagee or any such court.

The Mortgagor shall not be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Indenture or the Notes, and the Mortgagor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Charge on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.
SECTION 14.18. No Claims Against the Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall constitute any consent or request by the Mortgagee, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving the Mortgagor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Mortgagee in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.
SECTION 14.19. Obligations Absolute. All obligations of the Mortgagor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of the Mortgagor, the Issuer or any other Guarantor;
-38-
(ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(vi) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Mortgagor.
SECTION 14.20. Intercreditor Agreement. All of the rights and remedies granted to the Mortgagee hereunder shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Mortgage and the Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.
