Representations, Warranties and Covenants
Representations, Warranties and Covenants
Section 2.1. Mortgagor represents, warrants, and covenants as follows (with respect to representations and warranties, except as otherwise disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing):
(a) (a) Payment and Performance. Mortgagor will make due and punctual payment of the Secured Indebtedness. Mortgagor will timely and properly perform and comply with all of the covenants, agreements, and conditions imposed upon it by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and will not permit a Default or Event of Default to occur hereunder or thereunder.
(b) Title and Permitted Encumbrances. Mortgagor has, in Mortgagor's own right, and Mortgagor covenants to maintain, lawful, good and indefeasible title to the Property, is lawfully seized and possessed of the Property and every part thereof, and has the right to convey the same, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. Mortgagor will warrant generally and forever defend title to the Property, subject as aforesaid, to Administrative Agent and its successors or substitutes and assigns, against the claims and demands of all persons claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof other than holders of Permitted Liens. Mortgagor will, prior to delinquency, punctually pay, perform, observe and keep all covenants, obligations and conditions in or pursuant to any Permitted Lien and will not modify or permit modification of any Permitted Lien without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (unless, as modified, the same continue to constitute Permitted Liens). Inclusion of any matter as a Permitted Lien does not constitute approval or waiver by Administrative Agent of any existing or future violation or other breach thereof by Mortgagor, by the Property or otherwise. If any right or interest of Administrative Agent in the Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or questioned or shall be attacked directly or indirectly, Administrative Agent (whether or not named as a party to legal proceedings with respect thereto), is hereby authorized and empowered to take such steps as in its Permitted Discretion may be proper for the defense of any such legal proceedings or the protection of such right or interest of Administrative Agent, including but not limited to the employment of independent counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of adverse claims. All expenditures so made of every kind and character shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Mortgagor hereby promises to pay), and the party (Administrative Agent) making such expenditures shall be subrogated to all rights of the person receiving such payment.

DAL 79534929v8
(c) Taxes and Other Impositions. Subject to Section 7.10 of the Loan Agreement, Mortgagor will pay, or cause to be paid, all taxes, assessments and other charges or levies imposed upon or against or with respect to the Property or the ownership, use, occupancy or enjoyment of any portion thereof, or any utility service thereto, prior to delinquency, including but not limited to all real estate taxes assessed against the Property or any part thereof; and shall deliver to Administrative Agent, within fifteen (15) days after request by Administrative Agent, such evidence of the payment thereof as Administrative Agent may require.
(d) Insurance. Mortgagor shall obtain and maintain at Mortgagor's sole expense: (1) property insurance with respect to all insurable Property, against loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, explosion, hail, tornado and such additional hazards as are presently included in Special Form (also known as "all‑risk") coverage and against such other insurable hazards as Administrative Agent may require, in an amount not less than 100% of the full replacement cost, including the cost of debris removal, without deduction for depreciation and sufficient to prevent Mortgagor and Administrative Agent from becoming a coinsurer, such insurance to be in "builder's risk" completed value(non‑reporting) form during and with respect to any construction on the Premises; (2) if and to the extent any portion of the Improvements is, located totally or partially in (A) an area identified as an area having special flood hazards on the currently effective Flood Insurance Rate Map or Flood Hazard Boundary Map published by the Federal Insurance Administration and/or Federal Emergency Management Administration, (b) a community affected by the Coastal Barrier Resource Act (COBRA), or (c) an area which has been designated as a flood plain under the provisions of the Flood Hazard Area Control Act, N.J.S.A. 58:16A-50 et seq., a flood insurance policy in an amount required by Administrative Agent, but in no event less than the amount sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable law and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as such requirements may from time to time be in effect; (3) general liability insurance, on an "occurrence" basis against claims for "personal injury" liability, including bodily injury, death or property damage liability, for the benefit of Mortgagor as named insured and Administrative Agent as additional insured; (4) statutory workers' compensation
MORTGAGE, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT, AND FINANCING STATEMENT- Page 7
DAL 79534929v8
insurance with respect to any work on or about the Premises (including employer's liability insurance, if required by Administrative Agent), covering all employees of Mortgagor and any contractor; (5) if there is a general contractor, commercial general liability insurance, including products and completed operations coverage, and in other respects similar to that described in clause (3) above, for the benefit of the general contractor as named insured and Mortgagor and Administrative Agent as additional insureds, in addition to statutory workers' compensation insurance with respect to any work on or about the Premises (including employer's liability insurance, if required by Administrative Agent), covering all employees of the general contractor and any contractor; and (6) such other insurance on the Property and endorsements as may from time to time be reasonably required by Administrative Agent and against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of premises similarly situated, due regard being given to the height, type, construction, location, use and occupancy of buildings and improvements. All insurance policies shall be issued and maintained by insurers, in amounts, with deductibles, limits and retentions, and in forms reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and shall require not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice to Administrative Agent of any cancellation for nonpayment of premiums, and not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Administrative Agent of any other cancellation or any change of coverage. All insurance companies must be licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located and must have an A. M. Best Company financial and performance ratings of A-:IX or better. All insurance policies maintained, or caused to be maintained, by Mortgagor with respect to the Property, except for general liability insurance, shall provide that each such policy shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by Mortgagor or Administrative Agent and that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. If any insurer which has issued a policy of title, hazard, liability or other insurance required pursuant to this Mortgage or any other Loan Document becomes insolvent or the subject of any petition, case, proceeding or other action pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law, or if in Administrative Agent's reasonable opinion the financial responsibility of such insurer is or becomes inadequate, Mortgagor shall, in each instance promptly upon its discovery thereof or upon the request of Administrative Agent therefor, and at Mortgagor's expense, promptly obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent a like policy (or, if and to the extent permitted by Administrative Agent, acceptable evidence of insurance) issued by another insurer, which insurer and policy meet the requirements of this Mortgage or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Without limiting the discretion of Administrative Agent with respect to required endorsements to insurance policies, all such policies for loss of or damage to the Property shall contain a standard mortgagee clause (without contribution) naming Administrative Agent as mortgagee with loss proceeds payable to Administrative Agent notwithstanding (i) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in any such policy by any named or additional
MORTGAGE, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT, AND FINANCING STATEMENT- Page 8
DAL 79534929v8
insured; (ii) the occupation or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of any such policy; (iii) any foreclosure or other action by Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; or (iv) any change in title to or ownership of the Property or any portion thereof, such proceeds to be held for application as provided in the Loan Documents. Certificates (or other evidence) of each initial insurance policy shall be delivered to Administrative Agent at the time of execution of this Mortgage, with all premiums fully paid current, and each renewal or substitute policy (or evidence of insurance) shall be delivered to Administrative Agent, with all premiums fully paid current, at least ten (10) days before the termination of the policy it renews or replaces. Mortgagor shall pay all premiums on policies required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of the timely payment thereof. If any loss occurs at any time when Mortgagor has failed to perform Mortgagor's covenants and agreements in this paragraph with respect to any insurance payable because of loss sustained to any part of the Property, whether or not such insurance is required by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall nevertheless be entitled to the benefit of all insurance covering the loss and held by or for Mortgagor, to the same extent as if it had been made payable to Administrative Agent. Upon any foreclosure hereof or transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the whole or any part of the Secured Indebtedness, all of Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to the insurance policies referred to in this Section (including unearned premiums) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at foreclosure or other such transferee, to the extent permissible under such policies. Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make proof of loss for, settle and adjust any claim under, and receive the proceeds of, all insurance for loss of or damage to the Property regardless of whether or not such insurance policies are required by Administrative Agent, and the expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be a part of the Secured Indebtedness and shall be due and payable to Administrative Agent on demand. Administrative Agent shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any of such proceeds or for the obtaining, maintaining or adequacy of any insurance or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Mortgagor. Subject to Section 8.11 of the Loan Agreement, any such proceeds received by Administrative Agent shall, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable and documented expenses actually incurred by Administrative Agent, including reasonable and documented attorneys' fees, at Administrative Agent's option be (1) released to Mortgagor, or (2) applied (upon compliance with such terms and conditions as may be required by Administrative Agent) to repair or restoration, either partly or entirely, of the Property so damaged, or (3) applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in such order and manner as Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not due. In any event, the unpaid portion of the Secured Indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused. Mortgagor shall at all times comply with the requirements of the insurance policies required hereunder and of the issuers of such policies and of any board of fire underwriters or similar body as applicable to or affecting the Property.
MORTGAGE, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT, AND FINANCING STATEMENT- Page 9
DAL 79534929v8
(e) Reserve for Insurance, Taxes and Assessments. Upon the request of Administrative Agent following the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below) which is then continuing, to secure the payment and performance of the Secured Indebtedness, but not in lieu of such payment and performance, Mortgagor will deposit with Administrative Agent a sum equal to real estate taxes, assessments and charges (which charges for the purposes of this paragraph shall include without limitation any recurring charge which could result in a lien against the Property) against the Property for the current year and the premiums for such policies of insurance for the current year, all as estimated by Administrative Agent and prorated to the end of the calendar month following the month during which Administrative Agent's request is made, and thereafter will deposit with Administrative Agent, on each date when an installment of principal and/or interest is as required in the Loan Agreement, sufficient funds (as estimated from time to time by Administrative Agent) to permit Administrative Agent to pay at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date thereof, the next maturing real estate taxes, assessments and charges and premiums for such policies of insurance. Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely upon tax information furnished by applicable taxing authorities in the payment of such taxes or assessments and shall have no obligation to make any protest of any such taxes or assessments. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any excess over the amounts required for such purposes shall be held by Administrative Agent for future use, applied to any Secured Indebtedness or refunded to Mortgagor, at Administrative Agent's option, and any deficiency in such funds so deposited shall be made up by Mortgagor upon demand of Administrative Agent. All such funds so deposited shall bear no interest, may be comingled with the general funds of Administrative Agent and shall be applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of such taxes, assessments, charges and premiums when statements therefor are presented to Administrative Agent by Mortgagor (which statements shall be presented by Mortgagor to Administrative Agent a reasonable time before the applicable amount is due); provided, however, that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder, such funds may at Administrative Agent's option be applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in the order determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and that Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation) at any time, in its discretion, apply all or any part of such funds toward the payment of any such taxes, assessments, charges or premiums which are past due, together with any penalties or late charges with respect thereto. The conveyance or transfer of Mortgagor's interest in the Property for any reason (including without limitation the foreclosure of a subordinate lien or security interest or a transfer by operation of law) shall constitute an assignment or transfer of Mortgagor's interest in and rights to such funds held by Administrative Agent under this paragraph but subject to the rights of Administrative Agent hereunder.
(f) Condemnation. Mortgagor shall notify Administrative Agent immediately upon obtaining knowledge thereof, of any threatened or pending proceeding for condemnation affecting the Property or arising out of damage to the Property, and Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagor's expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings. Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in any such proceeding and to be represented by counsel of its own choice. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive all sums which may be awarded or become payable to Mortgagor for the condemnation of the Property, or any part thereof, for public or quasi‑public use, or by virtue of private sale in lieu thereof, and any sums which may be awarded or become payable to Mortgagor for injury or damage to the Property. Mortgagor shall, promptly upon request of Administrative Agent, execute such additional assignments and other documents as may be necessary from time to time to permit such participation and to enable Administrative Agent to collect and receipt for any such sums. All such sums are hereby assigned to Administrative Agent, and shall, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Administrative Agent, including reasonable and documented attorneys' fees, at Administrative Agent's option be (1) released to Mortgagor, or (2) applied (upon compliance with such terms and conditions as may be required by Administrative Agent) to repair or restoration of the Property so affected, or (3) applied to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in such order and manner as provided in Section 4.7 of the Loan Agreement, whether or not due. In any event the unpaid portion of the Secured Indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not be excused. Administrative Agent shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or to exercise diligence in the collection of any such sum or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Mortgagor. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, in the name of Mortgagor, to execute and deliver valid acquittances for, and to appeal from, any such award, judgment or decree. All costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys' fees) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any condemnation shall be a demand obligation owing by Mortgagor (which Mortgagor hereby promises to pay) to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Mortgage.

DAL 79534929v8
(g) Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Mortgagor, the Property and the use, operation and maintenance thereof and all activities thereon do and shall at all times comply with the terms, conditions, covenants, representations and warranties of the Loan Agreement and, except where such failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all applicable Legal Requirements (hereinafter defined). The Property is not, and shall not be, dependent on any other property or premises or any interest therein other than the Property to fulfill any requirement of any Legal Requirement. Mortgagor shall not, by act or omission, permit any building or other improvement not subject to the lien of this Mortgage to rely on the Property or any interest therein to fulfill any requirement of any Legal Requirement. No improvement upon or use of any part of the Property constitutes a nonconforming use under any zoning law or similar law or ordinance. Mortgagor has obtained and shall preserve in force all requisite zoning, utility, building, health, environmental and operating permits, including, without limitation, certificates of occupancy (if required), from the governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Property. The absence of or failure to obtain and maintain any certificate of occupancy does not constitute a violation of any Applicable Law to the extent that any such violation would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
If Mortgagor receives a notice or claim from any person that the Property, or any use, activity, operation or maintenance thereof or thereon, is not in compliance with any Legal Requirement, Mortgagor will promptly furnish a copy of such notice or claim to Administrative Agent. Mortgagor has received no notice and has no knowledge of any such noncompliance. As used in this Mortgage, the term "Legal Requirement" means any Applicable Law, and any other agreement, covenant, restriction, easement or condition (including, without limitation of the foregoing, any condition or requirement imposed by any insurance or surety company), as any of the same now exists or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

DAL 79534929v8

Mortgagor will keep the Property in good working order and repair, operating condition and appearance, ordinary wear and tear excepted, causing all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements to be promptly made, and will not allow any of the Property to be misused, abused or wasted or to deteriorate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent or as otherwise expressly permitted in the Loan Agreement, (i) remove from the Property any fixtures or personal property covered by this Mortgage except such as is replaced by Mortgagor by an article of equal suitability and value, owned by Mortgagor, free and clear of any lien or security interest (except that created by this Mortgage and Permitted Liens), or (ii) make any structural alteration to the Property or any other alteration thereto which materially impairs the value thereof. If any act or occurrence of any kind or nature (including any condemnation or any casualty for which insurance was not obtained or obtainable) shall result in damage to or loss or destruction of the Property, Mortgagor shall give prompt notice thereof to Administrative Agent and Mortgagor shall promptly, at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense and regardless of whether insurance or condemnation proceeds (if any) shall be available or sufficient for the purpose, secure the Property as necessary and commence and continue diligently to completion to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to the damage, loss or destruction.
(i) No Other Liens. Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, create, place or permit to be created or placed, or through any act or failure to act, acquiesce in the placing of, or allow to remain, any Lien against or covering the Property, or any part thereof, other than the Permitted Liens, regardless of whether the same are expressly or otherwise subordinate to the Lien created by this Mortgage, and should any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) become attached hereafter in any manner to any part of the Property without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Mortgagor will cause the same to be promptly discharged and released. Mortgagor will own all parts of the Property and, except as permitted under the Loan Agreement, will not acquire any fixtures, equipment or other property (including software embedded therein) forming a part of the Property pursuant to a lease, license, security agreement or similar agreement, whereby any party has or may obtain the right to repossess or remove same, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.

Mortgagor shall pay all costs connected with any of the foregoing, which shall be a demand obligation owing by Mortgagor (which Mortgagor hereby promises to pay) to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Mortgage.

In the alternative, at any time Administrative Agent may elect to conduct its own defense through counsel selected by Administrative Agent and at the cost and expense of Mortgagor. Nothing in this paragraph, elsewhere in this Mortgage or in any other Loan Document shall limit or impair any rights or remedies of the Lender Parties (including without limitation any rights of contribution or indemnification) against Mortgagor or any other person under any other provision of this Mortgage, any other Loan Document, any other agreement or any applicable Legal Requirement.

The term "Release Date" as used herein means the earlier of the following two dates: (i) the date on which the Secured Indebtedness (other than contingent indemnification claims) has been paid and performed in full and the commitment of the Lender to make Loans under the Loan Agreement has been terminated; or (ii) the date on which the lien of the Mortgage is fully and finally foreclosed or a conveyance by deed in lieu of such foreclosure is fully and finally effective and possession of the Property has been given to and accepted by the purchaser or grantee free of occupancy and claims to occupancy by Mortgagor and their heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns; provided that, if such payment, performance, release, foreclosure or conveyance is challenged, in bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise, the Release Date shall be deemed not to have occurred until such challenge is validly released, dismissed with prejudice or otherwise barred by law from further assertion.

Mortgagor agrees that, if Mortgagor fails to perform any act or to take any action which under this Mortgage Mortgagor is required to perform or take, or to pay any money which under this Mortgage Mortgagor is required to pay, and such failure constitutes an Event of Default under this Mortgage, then Administrative Agent, in Mortgagor's name or its own name, may (but shall not be obligated to) perform or cause to be performed such act or take such action or pay such money, and any reasonable and documented expenses so incurred by Administrative Agent and any money so paid by Administrative Agent shall be a demand obligation owing by Mortgagor to Administrative Agent (which obligation Mortgagor hereby promises to pay), shall be a part of the Secured Indebtedness, and Administrative Agent, upon making such payment, shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the person, entity or body politic receiving such payment.

Notwithstanding anything in this Mortgage to the contrary, including, without limitation, the definition of "Property" and/or the provisions of Article 3 hereof, (i) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Property is composed of Mortgagor's rights, title and interests therein but not Mortgagor's obligations, duties or liabilities pertaining thereto, (ii) Administrative Agent neither assumes nor shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities in connection with any portion of the items described in the definition of "Property" herein, either prior to or after obtaining title to such Property, whether by foreclosure sale, the granting of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and (iii) Administrative Agent may, at any time prior to or after the acquisition of title to any portion of the Property as above described, advise any party in writing as to the extent of Administrative Agent's interest therein and/or expressly disaffirm in writing any rights, interests, obligations, duties and/or liabilities with respect to such Property or matters related thereto.

Assignment of Rents and Leases
Assignment of Rents and Leases
Section 3.1. Assignment. Mortgagor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and presently sells, grants, transfers, releases, conveys and assigns to Administrative Agent all Rents (hereinafter defined) and all of Mortgagor's rights in and under all Leases (hereinafter defined). This grant, transfer, assignment and conveyance of Leases gives Administrative Agent the present unconditional and absolute right and title to the Leases and Rents and to collect and receive the Rents. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, Mortgagor shall have a limited revocable license (which license shall terminate automatically and without further notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder), in the place and stead of Administrative Agent to collect, but not more than one (1) month in advance, the Rents under the Leases and, where applicable, subleases, such Rents to be held in trust for Administrative Agent and to otherwise deal with all Leases as permitted by this Mortgage. Each month, provided no Event of Default has occurred, Mortgagor may retain such Rents as were collected that month and held in trust for Administrative Agent; provided, however, that all Rents collected by Mortgagor shall be applied solely to the ordinary and necessary expenses of owning and operating the Property or paid to Administrative Agent. Upon the revocation of such license, all Rents shall be paid directly to Administrative Agent and not through Mortgagor, all without the necessity of any further action by Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, any action to obtain possession of the Land, Improvements or any other portion of the Property or any action for the appointment of a receiver. Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs the tenants under the Leases to pay Rents to Administrative Agent upon the termination of Mortgagor's license to collect the Rents, without further consent of Mortgagor, without any obligation to determine whether an Event of Default has in fact occurred and regardless of whether Administrative Agent has taken possession of any portion of the Property, and the tenants may rely upon any written statement delivered by Mortgagor to the tenants. Any such payment to Administrative Agent shall constitute payment to Mortgagor under the Leases, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to do all things, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which Mortgagor might otherwise do with respect to the Property and the Leases thereon, including, without limitation, (i) collecting Rents with or without suit and applying the same, less expenses of collection, to any of the obligations secured hereunder or under the Loan
MORTGAGE, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT, AND FINANCING STATEMENT- Page 21
DAL 79534929v8
Documents or to expenses of operating and maintaining the Property (including reasonable reserves for anticipated expenses), at the option of the Administrative Agent, all in such manner as may be determined by Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion, or at the option of Administrative Agent, holding the same as security for the payment of the Secured Obligations, (ii) leasing, in the name of Mortgagor, the whole or any part of the Property which may become vacant, and (iii) employing agents therefor and paying such agents reasonable compensation for their services. The curing of such Event of Default, unless other Events of Default also then exist, shall entitle Mortgagor to recover its aforesaid license to do any such things which Mortgagor might otherwise do with respect to the Property and the Leases thereon and to again collect such Rents. The powers and rights granted in this paragraph shall be in addition to the other remedies herein provided for upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and may be exercised independently of or concurrently with any of said remedies. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed to impose any obligation upon Administrative Agent to exercise any power or right granted in this paragraph or to assume any liability under any Lease of any part of the Property and no liability shall attach to Administrative Agent for failure or inability to collect any Rents under any such Lease. The assignment contained in this Section shall become null and void upon the release of this Mortgage.

MORTGAGE, ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, SECURITY AGREEMENT, AND FINANCING STATEMENT- Page 22
DAL 79534929v8
are unmodified except as stated therein; (c) neither Mortgagor nor, to Mortgagor's knowledge, any tenant in the Property is in default under its Lease (and no event has occurred which with the passage of time or notice or both would result in a default under its Lease) or is the subject of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding; (d) unless otherwise stated in a Permitted Lien, no Rents or Leases have been or will be assigned, mortgaged, pledged or otherwise encumbered and no other person has or will acquire any right, title or interest in such Rents or Leases; (e) no Rents have been waived, released, discounted, set off or compromised; (f) except as stated in the Leases, Mortgagor has not received any funds or deposits from any tenant for which credit has not already been made on account of accrued Rents; (g) Mortgagor shall perform all of its obligations under the Leases and enforce the tenants' obligations under the Leases to the extent enforcement is prudent under the circumstances; (h) Mortgagor will not without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, enter into any Lease after the date hereof, or waive, release, discount, set off, compromise, reduce or defer any Rent, receive or collect Rents more than one (1) month in advance, grant any rent‑free period to any tenant, reduce any Lease term or waive, release or otherwise modify any other material obligation under any Lease, renew or extend any Lease except in accordance with a right of the tenant thereto in such Lease, approve or consent to an assignment of a Lease or a subletting of any part of the premises covered by a Lease, or settle or compromise any claim against a tenant under a Lease in bankruptcy or otherwise; (i) Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, terminate or consent to the cancellation or surrender of any Lease having an unexpired term of one (1) year or more; (j) Mortgagor will not execute any Lease except in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in accordance with the Loan Documents and for actual occupancy by the tenant thereunder; (k) Mortgagor shall give prompt notice to Administrative Agent, as soon as Mortgagor first obtains notice, of any claim, or the commencement of any action, by any tenant or subtenant under or with respect to a Lease regarding any claimed damage, default, diminution of or offset against Rent, cancellation of the Lease, or constructive eviction, excluding, however, notices of default under residential Leases, and Mortgagor shall defend, at Mortgagor's expense, any proceeding pertaining to any Lease, including, if Administrative Agent so requests, any such proceeding to which Administrative Agent is a party; (l) Mortgagor shall as often as requested by Administrative Agent, within fifteen (15) days of each request, deliver to Administrative Agent a complete rent roll of the Property in such detail as Administrative Agent may require and financial statements of the tenants, subtenants and guarantors under the Leases to the extent available to Mortgagor, and deliver to such of the tenants and others obligated under the Leases specified by Administrative Agent written notice of the assignment in Section 3.1 hereof in form and content satisfactory to Administrative Agent; and (m) promptly upon request by Administrative Agent, Mortgagor shall deliver to Administrative Agent executed originals of all Leases and copies of all records relating thereto.
Section 3.3. No Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent's acceptance of this assignment shall not be deemed to constitute Administrative Agent a "Administrative Agent in possession," nor obligate Administrative Agent to appear in or defend any proceeding relating to any Lease or to the Property, or to take any action hereunder, expend any money, incur any expenses, or perform any obligation or liability under any Lease, or assume any obligation for any deposit delivered to Mortgagor by any tenant and not as such delivered to and accepted by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any injury or damage to Person or property in or about the Property, or for Administrative Agent's failure to collect or to exercise diligence in collecting Rents, but shall be accountable only for Rents that it shall actually receive. Neither the assignment of Leases and Rents nor enforcement of Administrative Agent's rights regarding Leases and Rents (including collection of Rents) nor possession of the Property by Administrative Agent nor Administrative Agent's consent to or approval of any Lease (nor all of the same), shall render Administrative Agent liable on any obligation under or with respect to any Lease or constitute affirmation of, or any subordination to, any Lease, occupancy, use or option except to the extent that Administrative Agent has entered into a separate non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement with any lessee of the Property. If Administrative Agent seeks or obtains any judicial relief regarding Rents or Leases, the same shall in no way prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate rights or remedies nor shall same constitute an election of judicial relief for any foreclosure or any other purpose. Administrative Agent neither has nor assumes any obligations as lessor or landlord with respect to any Lease. The rights of Administrative Agent under this Article 3 shall be cumulative of all other rights of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose, unilaterally subordinate the lien of this Mortgage to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Mortgagor, any tenant or any other Person, and notice is hereby given to each tenant under a Lease of such right to subordinate. No such subordination shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lienholder. Nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating this Mortgage to any Lease.

Notwithstanding any statute or rule of law to the contrary, the failure to join any tenant or tenants of the Property as party defendant or defendants in any foreclosure action or the failure of any such order or judgment to foreclose their rights shall not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense in any civil action instituted to collect (i) the Secured Indebtedness, or any part thereof or (ii) any deficiency remaining unpaid after foreclosure and sale of the Property.

(e) Lawsuits.

Administrative Agent is authorized, prior or subsequent to the institution of any foreclosure proceedings, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to enter upon the Property, or any part thereof, and to take possession of the Property and all books and records, and all recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium of recording including, without limitation, all software, writings, plans, specifications and schematics relating thereto, and to exercise without interference from Mortgagor any and all rights which Mortgagor has with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection or preservation of the Property. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have taken possession of the Property or any part thereof except upon the exercise of its right to do so, and then only to the extent evidenced by its demand and overt act specifically for such purpose. All reasonable and documented costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by Administrative Agent in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving the Property shall constitute a demand obligation of Mortgagor (which obligation Mortgagor hereby promises to pay) to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Mortgage. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, Administrative Agent may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess Mortgagor. In connection with any action taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Mortgagor resulting from any failure to let the Property or any part thereof, or from any act or omission of Administrative Agent in managing the Property unless such loss is caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of Administrative Agent, nor shall Administrative Agent be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of Mortgagor arising under any lease or other agreement relating to the Property or arising under any Permitted Encumbrance or otherwise arising. Mortgagor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all lawful actions of Administrative Agent with respect to the Property taken under this Section.

Section 5.4. Foreclosure as to Matured Debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right to proceed with foreclosure (judicial or nonjudicial) of the liens and security interests hereunder without declaring the entire Secured Indebtedness due, and in such event any such foreclosure sale may be made subject to the unmatured part of the Secured Indebtedness; and any such sale shall not in any manner affect the unmatured part of the Secured Indebtedness, but as to such unmatured part this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had been made.

DAL 79534929v8
Section 5.6. Discretion as to Security.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagor waives any right or remedy which Mortgagor may have or be able to assert pursuant to the UCC, or any other provision of Applicable Law, pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties. If any Law referred to in this Section and now in force, of which Mortgagor or Mortgagor's heirs, devisees, representatives, successors or assigns or any other Persons claiming any interest in the Property might take advantage despite this Section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such Law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section.
Section 5.8. Delivery of Possession After Foreclosure. In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale, Mortgagor or Mortgagor's successors as owners of the Property are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, each and all shall immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day to day, terminable at the will of purchaser, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the property occupied, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser; and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the purchaser at such sale shall, notwithstanding any language herein apparently to the contrary, have the sole option to demand immediate possession following the sale or to permit the occupants to remain as tenants at will. After such foreclosure, any leases to tenants or subtenants that are subject to this Mortgage (either by their date, their express terms, or by agreement of the tenant or subtenant) shall, at the sole option of Administrative Agent or any purchaser at such sale, but subject to any express agreement between Administrative Agent and such tenant or subtenant, either (i) continue in full force and effect, and the tenant(s) or subtenant(s) thereunder will, upon request, attorn to and acknowledge in writing to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales as landlord thereunder, or (ii) upon notice to such effect from Administrative Agent or any purchaser or purchasers, terminate within thirty (30) days from the date of sale. In the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of the Property upon demand, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain a summary action for possession of the Property (such as an action for forcible detainer) in any court having jurisdiction.

Section 6.5. No Impairment of Security. The lien, security interest and other security rights of Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall not be impaired (except to the extent expressly stated therein) by any indulgence, moratorium or release granted by Administrative Agent including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension or modification which Administrative Agent may grant with respect to any Secured Indebtedness, or any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Administrative Agent may grant in respect of the Property, or any part thereof or any interest therein, or any release or indulgence granted to any endorser, guarantor or surety of any Secured Indebtedness. The taking of additional security by Administrative Agent shall not release or impair the lien, security interest or other security rights of Administrative Agent hereunder or affect the liability of Mortgagor or of any endorser, guarantor or surety, or improve the right of any junior lienholder in the Property (without implying hereby Administrative Agent's consent to any junior lien).
Section 6.6. Acts Not Constituting Waiver by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may waive any Default or Event of Default without waiving any other prior or subsequent Default or Event of Default. Administrative Agent may remedy any Default or Event of Default without waiving the Default or Event of Default remedied. Neither failure by Administrative Agent to exercise, nor delay by Administrative Agent in exercising, nor discontinuance of the exercise of any right, power or remedy (including but not limited to the right to accelerate the maturity of the Secured Indebtedness or any part thereof) upon or after any Default or Event of Default shall be construed as a waiver of such Default or Event of Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Administrative Agent of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Mortgagor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Administrative Agent and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, for the purpose for which given and to the extent therein specified. No notice to nor demand on Mortgagor in any case shall of itself entitle Mortgagor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Remittances in payment of any part of the Secured Indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Administrative Agent in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Administrative Agent of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any Secured Indebtedness shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way excuse the existence of a default hereunder notwithstanding any notation on or accompanying such partial payment to the contrary.

Section 6.7. Mortgagor's Successors. If the ownership of the Property or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than Mortgagor, Administrative Agent may, without notice to Mortgagor, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Mortgage and to the Secured Indebtedness in the same manner as with Mortgagor, without in any way vitiating or discharging Mortgagor's liability hereunder or for the payment of the indebtedness or performance of the obligations secured hereby. No transfer of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Administrative Agent, and no extension of the time for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness given by Administrative Agent shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect, in whole or in part, the liability of Mortgagor hereunder for the payment of the indebtedness or performance of the obligations secured hereby or the liability of any other person hereunder for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness. Mortgagor agrees that it shall be bound by any modification of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents made by Administrative Agent and any subsequent owner of the Property, with or without notice to such Mortgagor, and no such modifications shall impair the obligations of such Mortgagor under this Mortgage or any other Loan Document. Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Mortgage shall be construed to imply Administrative Agent's consent to any transfer of the Property.
Section 6.8. Place of Payment; Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial. All Secured Indebtedness which may be owing hereunder at any time by Mortgagor shall be payable at the place designated in the Loan Agreement (or if no such designation is made, at the address of Administrative Agent indicated at the end of this Mortgage). Mortgagor hereby irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally for itself and in respect of its property to the non‑exclusive jurisdiction of any state court, or any United States federal court, sitting in New York County, Rockland County or Westchester County, New York, and to the non‑exclusive jurisdiction of any state court or any United States federal court sitting in the state in which any of the Property is located, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Mortgage or the Secured Indebtedness. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Mortgagor may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such court and any claim that any such court is an inconvenient forum. Mortgagor hereby agrees and consents that, in addition to any methods of service of process provided for under applicable law, all service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding in any state court in which the Property is located, or any United States federal court, sitting in the state in which the Secured Indebtedness is payable may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to Mortgagor at its address stated at the end of this Mortgage, or at a subsequent address of Mortgagor of which Administrative Agent received actual notice from Mortgagor in accordance with this Mortgage, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same shall have been so mailed. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Administrative Agent to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of Administrative Agent to bring proceedings against Mortgagor in any other court or jurisdiction. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MORTGAGOR, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDER PARTIES EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

Section 6.9. Subrogation to Existing Liens; Vendor's/Purchase Money Lien. To the extent that proceeds of the Loan are used to pay indebtedness secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against the Property, such proceeds have been advanced by Administrative Agent at Mortgagor's request, and Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to any and all rights, security interests and liens owned by any owner or Administrative Agent of such outstanding liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances, however remote, irrespective of whether said liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances are released, and all of the same are recognized as valid and subsisting and are renewed and continued and merged herein to secure the Secured Indebtedness, but the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall govern and control the manner and terms of enforcement of the liens, security interests, charges and encumbrances to which Administrative Agent is subrogated hereunder. It is expressly understood that, in consideration of the payment of such indebtedness by Administrative Agent, Mortgagor hereby waives and releases all demands and causes of action for offsets and payments in connection with the said indebtedness. If all or any portion of the proceeds of the Loan or of any other Secured Indebtedness has been advanced for the purpose of paying the purchase price for all or a part of the Property, no vendor's or purchase money lien is waived. Administrative Agent shall have, and is hereby granted, a vendor's or purchase money lien on the Property as cumulative additional security for the Secured Indebtedness. Administrative Agent may foreclose under this Mortgage or under the vendor's or purchase money lien without waiving the other or may foreclose under both.

Without limitation, all provisions herein for indemnity of Administrative Agent shall survive discharge of the Secured Indebtedness and any foreclosure, release or termination of this Mortgage.
(b) Partial Release; No Release in Default. Administrative Agent may, regardless of consideration, cause the release of any part of the Property from the lien of this Mortgage without in any manner affecting or impairing the lien or priority of this Mortgage as to the remainder of the Property. No partial release shall be sought, requested or required if an Event of Default has occurred which has not been cured.
