may elect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirement under this Section

for failure to do so. The Beneficiary will not do or permit any act or thing
which might affect the utility, value or operation of the Property or any part

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 Property or any part thereof, nor as giving the Beneficiary any right,
power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or

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 interest of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage.
7. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE BENEFICIARY.

indemnify and save harmless the Mortgagee from and against: all liabilities,
obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses
(including all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon or
incurred by or asserted against the Mortgagee or the Property, by reason of
the occurrence or existence of any of the following (to the extent (i) the
insurance proceeds payable on account of the following and received by the
Mortgagee shall be inadequate, and (ii) an action is brought or written claim
is made prior to the release of this Mortgage or, as to the indemnity
contained in clause (h) of this Article 7, within 24 months after such
release if such action or claim arose from an event that occurred prior to
such release): (a) ownership or possession of the Mortgagor's, Beneficiary's
or Mortgagee's interest in the Property, or any interest therein, or receipt
of any rent or other sum therefrom, (b) any accident, injury to or death of
any Persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the
Premises or any part thereof or the adjoining parking areas, sidewalks, curbs,
vaults and vault space, if any, streets or ways, (c) any use, non-use or

respect of any adverse environmental impact or effect, (d) any failure on the
part of the Mortgagor or the Beneficiary to perform or comply with any of the
terms of this Mortgage, the Declaration of Easements, the Condominium Deed,
the Operating Agreement, any Lease or any other Security Document to which it
is a party or any other agreement to which Mortgagor or Beneficiary is a party
or which is binding on the Property or any part thereof, (e) any performance
of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property
in respect of the Property or any part thereof, (f) any negligence or tortious

Environmental Law or the failure of the Beneficiary, the Manager or the
Mortgagor to comply with any Legal Requirement relating to Hazardous
Substances or knowingly acquiescing in a violation of such Legal Requirement
by a tenant under a Lease (in either case, whether prior to or during the
period that the Secured Obligations are outstanding and regardless of by whom
caused, whether by the Mortgagor or the Beneficiary or by any predecessor in
title or by any owner of real estate adjacent to the Land or the Improvements
or by any other Person, or any employee, agent, contractor or subcontractor of
the Mortgagor or the Beneficiary or any predecessor in title or any such
adjacent land owner or any other Person), including, with respect to this
clause (h): (i) claims of any Person (including governmental agencies) for
damages, penalties, losses, costs, fees, expenses, damages, injunctive or
other relief; (ii) response costs, clean-up costs, costs and expenses of

reasonable attorneys' fees, witness fees, deposition costs, copying and
telephone charges and other expenses. Any amounts payable under this Section
to the Mortgagee which are not paid within ten Business Days after written
demand therefor by the Mortgagee, setting forth in reasonable detail the
amount of such demand and the basis therefor, shall bear interest from the
date of demand until paid at the Default Rate, and shall be secured by this
Mortgage. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the
Mortgagee by reason of any such occurrence, the Beneficiary, upon the request
of the Mortgagee, will at the Beneficiary's expense resist and defend such
action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended
by counsel for the insurer of the liability or by counsel selected by the
Beneficiary (unless reasonably disapproved by the Mortgagee). So long as the
Beneficiary is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as
provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner and no
foreclosure proceeding is then pending, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to
settle such action, suit or proceeding and claim the benefit of this Article 7
with respect to such action, suit or proceeding and the Mortgagee agrees that
it will not settle any such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of
the Beneficiary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
provided that if the Beneficiary is not diligently defending such action, suit
or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided
above or if a foreclosure is pending, the Mortgagee may settle such action,
suit or proceeding and claim the benefit of this Article 7 with respect to
settlement of such action, suit or proceeding. In no event shall the
Beneficiary be obligated to protect, indemnify or save harmless the Mortgagee
with respect to losses, damages or liabilities to the extent arising out of
the Mortgagee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Mortgagor and
the Beneficiary hereby expressly waive and release the Mortgagee from any and
all claims for damages, liability, expense, contribution or cost recovery,
including without limitation any cost recovery claim under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C.
9601 et seq., as it may be amended, or any other federal or state statute,
regulation or law, including without limitation state common law, whether such
claim exists now or in the future, arising out of or in connection with the
use of or condition of the Land or the Improvements or the presence or release
of Hazardous Substances in, on or under the Property (other than with respect
to such claims, damages, liabilities or costs, to the extent arising out of
the Mortgagee's gross negligence or willful misconduct), it being understood
that all such claims, damages, liabilities, expenses and costs shall be the
sole responsibility of the Mortgagor and the Beneficiary without regard to the
absence or presence of fault on the part of the Mortgagor or the Beneficiary.
Notwithstanding anything contained in Article 38 to the contrary, as to any
action brought or claim made under clause (h) of this Article 7, Beneficiary
(but not its constituent general partners or their subpartners at any level)
shall remain liable under the indemnity provided for in clause (h) of this
Article 7 after the release of this Mortgage, with respect to such action or
claims to the extent of the value of Beneficiary's interest in the Property
and the beneficial interest in the Land Trust immediately prior to such
release and to the extent of the proceeds received by Beneficiary on account
of any subsequent disposition of such interest.
8. INSPECTION.
----------
The Mortgagee and its authorized representatives may at all reasonable times
and upon reasonable notice and accompanied by an agent of the Beneficiary
enter and examine the Property and, in connection with such entering and
examination, will use reasonable efforts not to interfere with operation of
the Property. Such Persons shall not inspect the Premises on other than a
Business Day except in the case of an emergency. Such Persons shall not have
any duty to make any such inspection and shall not have any liability or
obligation to the Mortgagor, the Beneficiary or any other Person for making
or not making any such inspection.
9. PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS, ETC.
---------------------------
Subject to the provisions of Article 12 relating to permitted contests, the
Beneficiary will pay, or cause to be paid, before any fine, penalty, interest
or cost may be added for such nonpayment, all real estate taxes, assessments,
fees, taxes on rents or rentals, and other governmental charges that may be
levied or assessed against the Property or any part thereof or the Mortgagor
or the Beneficiary with respect to the Property or any part thereof or rents
therefrom or which become liens upon the Property or any part thereof
(collectively, "Impositions"). Except as provided in Article 45 hereof, the
Beneficiary shall not be required to pay any income, excess profits or revenue
tax, excise tax or inheritance tax, gift tax, franchise tax, corporation tax,
capital levy, estate succession or other similar tax or charge that may be
payable by or chargeable to the Mortgagee, or any interest, fines, costs,
additions to tax or penalties in respect thereof, provided Beneficiary shall
pay any such tax which is imposed, levied or assessed in substitution for any
Impositions.
10. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS, INSTRUMENTS.
-------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Subject to the provisions of Article 12 relating to permitted contests,
the Beneficiary will (i) comply, or cause compliance, with all Legal
Requirements and Insurance Requirements before the expiration of any
applicable extension or cure period whether or not compliance therewith shall
require structural changes in the Improvements or interfere with the use and
enjoyment of the Property or any part thereof, (ii) procure, maintain and
comply with, all permits, licenses and other authorizations required by Legal
Requirements to be complied with for any use then being made of the Premises
or any part thereof, and for the proper operation and maintenance of the
Improvements and the Equipment or any part thereof, provided that with
respect to the Disabilities Act, the Beneficiary will proceed in a reasonably
diligent manner to achieve compliance to the extent Beneficiary reasonably
determines that compliance is required under the Disabilities Act and (iii)
comply with applicable duties or obligations under any instruments of record
at the time in force binding upon, and enforceable against, the Beneficiary or
the Property or any part thereof; provided that it shall not be a Default
hereunder if it shall be the obligation of a Tenant to comply with any Legal
Requirement, procure, maintain or comply with any such permit, license or
other authorization or comply with such duties or obligations so long as the
Beneficiary promptly after receiving actual notice of any noncompliance
commences and diligently pursues its rights against such Tenant and uses its
diligent efforts to cause such Tenant to comply with such Legal Requirement
or maintain or comply with such permit, license or other authorization or
comply with such duties or obligations within a reasonable time and the
failure to comply with the requirement in question does not subject the
Mortgagee to any of the risks described in clause (b) or (c) of Article 12
hereof and does not impair the validity of any insurance required to be
maintained by the Beneficiary under Article 13 hereof or the right to full
payment of any claims thereunder. The Beneficiary shall pay all fines,
penalties, interest and costs imposed as a result of any failure of the
Mortgagor or the Beneficiary to perform its obligations under this Article 10.
(b) Each of the Mortgagor and the Beneficiary covenants and agrees
(i) to perform punctually all material obligations and agreements to be
performed by it as lessor under any Anchor Lease (it being expressly agreed
that any obligation or agreement of the landlord which if not performed would
give an anchor tenant the right to terminate an Anchor Lease shall be deemed
material) or as a party to the Declaration of Easements, the Condominium Deed,
the Operating Agreement, the Permitted Exceptions or the Management Agreement
or any replacement management agreement, (ii) to perform punctually all
obligations and agreements to be performed by it as lessor under any Lease
other than Anchor Leases such that there will be no material and adverse
impairment of the value of the Property or the Mortgagee's interest under this
Mortgage, and (iii) to do all things necessary or appropriate in the ordinary
course of its business, to compel performance by each other party to each of
such instruments of such other party's obligations and agreements thereunder.
The Beneficiary will maintain the validity, perfection, priority and
effectiveness of this Mortgage and the other Security Documents, and will not
take any action, will not permit action to be taken by others and will not
omit to take any action, nor, except as permitted by Article 20 hereof, will
the Mortgagor or the Beneficiary give any notice, approval or consent or
exercise any rights under or in respect of any Lease or any of such other
instruments, which action, omission, notice, approval, consent or exercise of
rights would release any Tenant or other party from, or reduce any Tenant's or
any other party's obligations or liabilities under, or would result in the
termination, surrender or assignment of, or the amendment or modification of
in any material adverse respect, or would impair the validity of, any Lease,
any of such other instruments, this Mortgage or any of the other Security
Documents (other than as expressly permitted by Article 20 hereof), or would
affect the Property in any material adverse respect, without the prior written
consent of the Mortgagee, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing without
such consent shall be of no force and effect.
(c) The Beneficiary represents and warrants that it has not
received any written notice of any violation which remains uncured, and that
it has no actual knowledge of any material respect in which it or the Premises
is, on the date hereof, in violation of any Legal Requirement (including the
presence, use, storage or handling of any hazardous or toxic substance, waste
or material or oil, petroleum product or asbestos on, under, released upon or
migrating from the Property) or Insurance Requirement or of any agreement
binding upon the Mortgagor, the Beneficiary or the Property, except that
Beneficiary is not hereby representing or warranting as to compliance as of
the date hereof of the Premises with the Disabilities Act.
11. LIENS.
-----
Subject to the provisions of Article 12 relating to permitted contests and
Section 19.2 relating to permitted indebtedness, the Beneficiary will not
directly or indirectly create or permit or suffer to be created or to remain,
and will discharge or promptly cause to be bonded in an amount not less than
the claim by a surety company licensed to issue such bonds in Illinois
(provided that, in the case of a claim in excess of $5 million, such surety
company shall have a long-term unsecured debt rating of not less than "Baa"
by Xxxxx'x, or, if not rated by Xxxxx'x, not less than "BBB" by S&P) or
discharged by payment, final order of a court of competent jurisdiction or
otherwise, within forty-five Business Days after receiving written notice
of the filing thereof, any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, encumbrance or
charge upon, pledge of, or conditional sale or other title retention
agreement with respect to, the Property or any part thereof or the
Beneficiary's interest in the Land Trust, other than the Permitted
Exceptions.
12. PERMITTED CONTESTS.
------------------
Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Mortgagor or
the Beneficiary at its expense may contest, by appropriate legal,
administrative or other proceedings conducted in good faith and with due
diligence, the amount or validity or application, in whole or in part, of any
Imposition or lien therefor or any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement
or charges or other amounts required to be paid pursuant to the provisions of
Article 5 hereof, or the application of any instrument of record affecting the
Property or any part thereof (other than the Security Documents) or any claim
of mechanics, materialmen, suppliers or vendors or any lien therefor, and may
withhold payment of the same pending such proceedings if permitted by law;
provided that (a) in the case of any Impositions or lien therefor or any
claims of mechanics, materialmen, suppliers or vendors or any lien therefor,
such proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from the Mortgagor, the
Beneficiary, the Mortgagee and the Property, (b) neither the Property nor any
part thereof or interest therein would be in any danger of being sold,
forfeited or lost if the Mortgagor or the Beneficiary pays the amount or
satisfies the condition being contested, and the Mortgagor or the Beneficiary
would have the opportunity to so pay or satisfy, and Beneficiary shall pay
such amount, in the event of the Mortgagor's or the Beneficiary's failure to
prevail in the contest, (c) in the case of an Insurance Requirement, the
failure of the Mortgagor or the Beneficiary to comply therewith shall not
impair the validity of any insurance required to be maintained by the
Beneficiary under Article 13 or the right to full payment of any claims
thereunder, (d) in the case of Impositions, the Beneficiary shall pay such
Impositions in full to the taxing authority under protest, (e) in the case of
any service described in Article 5, any contest or failure to pay will not
result in a discontinuance of any such service, (f) in the case of any
instrument of record affecting the Property or any part thereof, the
contest or failure to perform under any such instrument shall not result in
the placing of any lien on the Property or any part thereof unless such lien
is bonded in an amount not less than the lien by a surety company licensed to
issue such bonds in Illinois (provided that, in the case of a claim in excess
of $5 million, such surety company shall have a long-term unsecured debt
rating of not less than "Baa" by Moody's, or, if not rated by Moody's, not
less than "BBB" by S&P), and (g) neither the failure to pay or perform any
obligation which Beneficiary is permitted to contest under this Article 12
nor an adverse determination of any such contest shall result in a material
adverse effect on the utility, value or operation of the Property.
13. INSURANCE.
---------
13.1. RISKS TO BE INSURED. The Beneficiary will maintain or
cause to be maintained, with insurers authorized to issue insurance in the
State of Illinois and having an A.M. Best Company, Inc. rating of "A" or
better and financial size category of not less than X (or in the case of
earthquake insurance not less than V) and capital and policyholder surplus
of not less than $500,000,000, and a Moody's or S&P rating of any grade of A
or better, insurance coverage as described in Exhibit D hereto and shall pay
in a timely manner all Premiums due in connection therewith. Such insurance
coverage shall also comply with the requirements of Article IX of the
Declaration of Easements to the extent such requirements are more stringent
or require greater coverage than the requirements of this Article 13.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 13 or Exhibit D
hereto, the Persons providing insurance on the date hereof (as evidenced in
the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 13.3) shall be approved
insurers for purposes of this Mortgage and Exhibit D hereto. Additionally,
in the event any other Insurer submitted by Beneficiary to the Mortgagee for
its consent does not meet the requirements set forth above, the approval of
the Mortgagee shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the Beneficiary
shall, in order to secure the performance and discharge of the Beneficiary's
obligations under Article 13 of this Mortgage, but not in lieu of such
obligations, deposit with the Mortgagee on the first day of each calendar
month until the Secured Obligations are paid in full, a sum in an amount
determined by the Mortgagee from time to time by written notice to the
Beneficiary, in order to accumulate funds sufficient to permit the Mortgagee
to pay all premiums payable in connection with the insurance required under
said Article 13 at least thirty (30) days prior to the date or dates on which
they shall become due. Upon demand by the Mortgagee, the Beneficiary shall
deliver to the Mortgagee such additional monies as are required to satisfy
any deficiencies in the amounts necessary to enable the Mortgagee to pay such
premiums thirty (30) days prior to the date they shall become due. Any
deposits received pursuant to this Section 13.1 shall be held by the
Mortgagee in a non-interest bearing trust account which shall be segregated
from any other monies held by Mortgagee. The Mortgagor and the Beneficiary
each grant to the Mortgagee a security interest in all sums deposited with the
Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 13.1 for the purpose of securing the
payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, all or any part of the sums on deposit with the Mortgagee,
or any amounts thereafter deposited with the Mortgagee, may be applied to the
Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Mortgagee may elect.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirement under this Section 13.1 for an
insurance escrow shall be waived unless and for so long as an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing.
13.2. POLICY PROVISIONS. Each policy of insurance maintained by
the Beneficiary pursuant to Section 13.1 shall (a) except in the case of
workers' compensation insurance, name the Beneficiary as insured and name the
Mortgagor and the Mortgagee as additional insureds; (b) except in the case of
public liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance and, in the
event that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, rent loss
insurance, provide that all Proceeds thereunder shall be payable to the
Mortgagee pursuant to a standard first mortgagee endorsement, without
contribution, and that adjustment and settlement of any loss in excess of
$1,000,000 shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Mortgagee; (c)
include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for insurance premiums
against all loss payees, additional insureds and named insureds (other than
the Beneficiary) and, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates,
all rights of subrogation against any loss payee, additional insured or named
insured; (d) permit the Mortgagee to pay the premiums and continue any
insurance upon failure of the Beneficiary to pay premiums when due, the
insolvency of the Beneficiary or the foreclosure or other transfer of the
Property; (e) except in the case of public liability and workers' compensation
insurance and except to the extent that the Declaration of Easements or the
Condominium Deed provides for a contrary means of paying Proceeds, provide
that any Proceeds shall be payable to the Mortgagee (subject to the provisions
of Article 15 pursuant to which the Beneficiary is entitled to receive proceeds
of up to $1,000,000) and that the insurance shall not be impaired or
invalidated by virtue of (i) any act, failure to act, negligence of, or
violation of declarations, warranties or conditions contained in such policy
by the Beneficiary, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee or any other named insured,
additional insured or loss payee, (ii) the occupation or use of the insured
properties for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of the
policy, (iii) any foreclosure or other proceeding or notice of sale relating
to the insured properties or (iv) any change in the title to or ownership or
possession of the insured properties (provided that with respect to items
(iii) and (iv), any notice requirements of the applicable policies are
satisfied); (f) be subject to a deductible, if any, not greater than
$1,000,000; and (g) provide that if all or any part of such policy is to be
canceled or terminated, or is to expire, the insurer will forthwith give prior
notice thereof to each named insured, additional insured and loss payee and
that no cancellation, termination, expiration, reduction in amount of, or
material change (other than an increase in coverage) in, coverage thereof
shall be effective until at least ten days after receipt by each named insured,
additional insured and loss payee of written notice thereof.
13.3. CERTIFICATES. The Beneficiary will deliver to the
Mortgagee on or prior to the Closing Date certificates setting forth in
reasonable detail the material terms (including any applicable notice
requirements) of all insurance policies that the Beneficiary is required to
maintain hereunder, from the respective insurance companies that issued such
policies. Such certificates shall be accompanied by copies of the policies
and, in the case of casualty policies, an original lender's loss payable
endorsement. The Beneficiary will deliver to the Mortgagee, concurrently with
each material change in or renewal of any insurance policy covering any part
of the Premises required to be maintained by the Beneficiary hereunder, a
certificate with respect to such changed or renewed insurance policy certified
by the insurance company issuing such policy or the agent of such issuer, in
the same form and containing the same information as the certificates required
to be delivered by the Beneficiary pursuant to the first sentence of this
Section 13.3 and stating that all premiums then due thereon have been paid to
the applicable insurers and that the same are in full force and effect.
13.4. REPLACEMENT POLICIES. Not less than fifteen (15) Business
Days prior to the expiration, termination or cancellation of any insurance
policy which the Beneficiary is required to maintain hereunder, the
Beneficiary shall obtain a replacement policy (or a binding commitment for
such replacement policy), which shall be effective no later than the date
of the expiration, termination or cancellation of the previous policy, and
shall deliver to the Mortgagee (i) either the original replacement policy or
certified copies and endorsements in respect of such policy in the same form
and containing the same information as required to be delivered by the
Beneficiary pursuant to Section 13.3, or an original binder addressed to the
Mortgagee and executed by the issuer of the insurance or an agent thereof and
(ii) an Officers' Certificate confirming that such policy or bound insurance
complies with all the requirements of Section 13.1.
13.5. REPORTS OF INDEPENDENT INSURANCE BROKERS. Within thirty
(30) days following the end of each calendar year during the term of this
Mortgage, and concurrently with the delivery of each replacement policy or a
binding commitment for the same pursuant to Section 13.4, the Beneficiary will
deliver to the Mortgagee a report from a reputable and experienced insurance
broker or from the insurer setting forth the particulars as to all insurance
obtained by the Beneficiary pursuant to this Article 13, Article 14(c) hereof
and Section 58(j) of the Declaration of Easements and then in effect and
stating that all premiums then due thereon have been paid to the applicable
insurers, that the same are in full force and effect and that, in the opinion
of such insurance broker or insurer, such insurance otherwise complies in all
material respects with the requirements of this Article 13, Article 14(c)
hereof and Section 58(j) of the Declaration of Easements.
13.6. SEPARATE INSURANCE. Neither the Mortgagor nor the
Beneficiary will take out separate insurance concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursuant
to this Article 13 unless and for so long as such insurance complies with
Section 13.2.
14. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS, ETC.
------------------------------
(a) The Beneficiary will not make or permit any demolition, alteration,
installation, addition, improvement, decoration or new construction (an
"Alteration") to the Premises unless undertaken in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Mortgage, the Declaration of Easements, the
Condominium Deed, the Leases and the Operating Agreement and unless (except
in the event that the Alteration is required to cure such Event of Default),
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Default shall
occur as a result of such action. Any Alteration (other than tenant
improvement work undertaken by a tenant) which involves an estimated cost of
more than $5,000,000 shall be conducted under the supervision of an Architect
and no such Alteration, or any Alteration (other than tenant improvement work)
as to which plans are required by any Legal Requirements and which involve an
estimated cost of more than $1,000,000, shall be undertaken until five Business
Days after there shall have been filed with the Mortgagee, for information
purposes only and not for approval by the Mortgagee, detailed plans and
specifications and cost estimates therefor, prepared and approved in writing
by such Architect. Such plans and specifications may be revised at any time
and from time to time provided that material revisions of such plans and
specifications are filed with the Mortgagee five Business Days in advance of
any work in respect thereof, for information purposes only, together with the
written approval thereof by such Architect if an Architect is required
hereunder. In the event Beneficiary obtains "as-built" plans with respect to
any Alteration (other than tenant improvement work), and the Alteration
involves work having an estimated cost of more than $1,000,000, Beneficiary
shall promptly file a copy thereof with the Mortgagee for information
purposes only. All work done in connection with any Alteration shall be
performed with due diligence in a good and workmanlike manner, all materials
used in connection with any Alteration shall be not less than the standard of
quality of the materials currently used at the Premises and all work shall be
performed and all materials used in accordance with all applicable Legal
Requirements and Insurance Requirements. Beneficiary shall promptly and fully
pay or cause to be paid the cost of any Alteration, subject to the
Beneficiary's right to contest any amount claimed to be due in accordance with
the provisions in Article 12 of this Mortgage. If an Architect is required
hereunder, Beneficiary shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to Mortgagee (i)
stating the name of the Architect and confirming that such Architect meets the
requirements set forth in this Mortgage in the definition of Architect and (ii)
briefly describing the nature of the Alterations to be supervised by such
Architect. Unless on or before the 14th day after the Officer's Certificate
is delivered to Mortgagee, the Mortgagee advises the Beneficiary in writing
that it reasonably disapproves of the Architect as not meeting the requirements
of this Mortgage, the Architect shall be deemed acceptable.
(b) The Beneficiary may make, or cause or permit to be made,
without the prior consent of the Mortgagee, Alterations, provided that, no
less than five (5) Business Days prior to the commencement of each Alteration
(other than tenant improvement work), the cost of which exceeds $1,000,000,
Beneficiary shall deliver to Mortgagee an Officers' Certificate certifying (i)
the reasonable estimated cost of such Alteration, (ii) the source of payment
therefor, and (iii) that the Alteration, together with all contemporaneous and
planned Alterations, will not affect the utility, operation or value of the
Premises in any material adverse respect. Any other Alterations shall require
the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.
(c) Builder's risk insurance (in completed value form, with, if
applicable, an endorsement for off-site storage of materials) and public
liability insurance, including bodily injury and property damage liability
and comprehensive general liability insurance in accordance with clause (b)
of Exhibit D hereto, shall be maintained or caused to be maintained by the
Beneficiary at all times during which any Alteration is in progress. The
insurance provided for in this Section 14(c) shall be in addition to the
insurance required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of
Exhibit D hereto and may be effected by an appropriate endorsement, if
obtainable, upon the policy or policies of insurance referred to in Section
13.1 hereof. All insurance provided for in this Section 14(c) shall be
effected under a valid and enforceable policy or policies issued by insurers
which meet the requirements set forth in Exhibit D hereto, and, prior to the
commencement of any Alteration which is reasonably estimated by the
Beneficiary to cost more than $5,000,000, the Beneficiary will furnish to the
Mortgagee certificates in respect of such insurance in the form described in
the first sentence of Section 13.3 hereof and a report of an insurance broker
or an agent of the insurance company issuing such policy containing a
statement of the insurance effected by the Beneficiary pursuant to this
Section 14(c) and then in force and stating that the insurance then in force
complies with the covenants in this Section 14(c).
(d) If at any time, the unpaid cost of all Alterations then in
process, as reasonably estimated by an Architect (other than any Alteration
the cost of which a Tenant is obligated to pay directly or to reimburse the
Beneficiary and the Beneficiary reasonably believes that the Tenant will be
able to pay directly or to reimburse the Beneficiary, as applicable), exceeds
$5,000,000 (adjusted as described below), the Beneficiary shall furnish the
Mortgagee with a completion guaranty of Beneficiary, which is subject to the
provisions of Section 38 and which is secured by security for the payment of
such excess in the form of (x) a Credit Facility, (y) Eligible Collateral in
an amount not less than such excess or (z) provided that such unpaid costs do
not exceed $20,000,000, an unconditional completion guaranty by a third party
entity having a long term unsecured debt rating of at least Aa by Moody's or
if not rated by Moody's, "AA" by S&P, or in either case the next highest
rating category (a "Third Party Guaranty"). In each such case, the Credit
Facility, the Eligible Collateral or Third Party Guaranty shall be delivered
to the Mortgagee. The $5,000,000 amount shall be reduced on any given date
by the Architect's estimate of the cost, if work on the Alterations were to be
terminated on such date, to restore the Premises to the extent necessary so
that, as restored, there would be no material adverse effect on the utility,
operation or value of the Premises as a whole. Costs which are subject to
retainage shall be treated as unpaid. In the event that any Alteration shall
be made in conjunction with any Restoration with respect to which the
Beneficiary shall be entitled to withdraw Proceeds pursuant to Section 15.2
hereof, the amount of the Credit Facility, Third Party Guaranty or Eligible
Collateral to be furnished pursuant hereto need not exceed the aggregate cost
of such Restoration and such Alteration (as estimated by the Architect) less
the sum of the amount of any Proceeds which the Beneficiary may be entitled
to withdraw pursuant to Section 15.2 hereof and $5,000,000 (adjusted as
described above). The Architect shall deliver to the Mortgagee a schedule
setting forth the projected stages of completion of the Alterations and the
corresponding amounts equal to such completion. From time to time as
Alterations progress, the amount of any Cash or Eligible Collateral so
furnished may be withdrawn by the Beneficiary and paid or otherwise applied
by or returned to the Beneficiary in an amount equal to the amount the
Beneficiary would be entitled to so withdraw if Section 15.2 hereof were
applicable, and upon satisfaction of the conditions stated therein and any
Credit Facility so furnished may be reduced by the Beneficiary in an amount
equal to the amount the Beneficiary would be entitled to so reduce if Section
15.2 hereof were applicable and upon satisfaction of the conditions stated
therein, except that the remaining balance of such Cash or remaining Eligible
Collateral shall not be reduced below a retainage for the amount in excess of
$5,000,000 in an amount that is customary in Illinois unless the conditions
set forth in the last sentence of this clause (d) are first satisfied. The
Mortgagee shall invest all Eligible Collateral in the form of Cash held
pursuant to the terms of this paragraph in accordance with Article 57 hereof.
At any time after substantial completion in all material respects of any
Alteration in respect whereof a Credit Facility or Eligible Collateral was
deposited, or Third Party Guaranty issued, pursuant hereto, the whole balance
of any Cash so deposited with the Mortgagee and then remaining on deposit may
be withdrawn by the Beneficiary and shall be paid by the Mortgagee to the
Beneficiary, and any Credit Facility or Eligible Collateral so deposited, or
Third Party Guaranty issued, shall, to the extent it has not been called upon,
reduced or theretofore released, be released by the Mortgagee to the
Beneficiary, within ten (10) days after receipt by the Mortgagee of an
application for such withdrawal and/or release together with an Officers'
Certificate, and signed also (as to clause (1), (3) and (4) of this Section)
by the Architect, setting forth in substance as follows:
(1) that the Alteration or Alterations in respect of which such
Credit Facility or Eligible Collateral was deposited, or Third Party
Guaranty issued, has been substantially completed in all material
respects in accordance with any plans and specifications therefor
previously filed with the Mortgagee under Section 14(a) hereof;
(2) that to the best knowledge of the certifying Person all amounts
which the Beneficiary is or may become liable to pay in respect of such
Alteration or Alterations have been paid in full or adequately provided
for or are being contested in accordance with Article 12 hereof and, that
lien waivers have been obtained from the general contractor and major
subcontractors performing such Alterations;
(3) that to the best knowledge of the certifying Person such
Alteration will not cause the Premises to be in violation of any Legal
Requirement or Insurance Requirement, or result in the loss of any
certificate of occupancy;
(4) that to the best knowledge of the certifying Person the
Property, after giving effect to such Alteration, can be used for the
purpose for which it was intended; and
(5) that to the best knowledge of the certifying Person no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
15. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND RESTORATION.
-----------------------------------
15.1. THE BENEFICIARY TO GIVE NOTICE. In case of any damage to
or destruction of the Premises or any part thereof for any reason (which shall
include earthquake for all purposes under this Mortgage), the Restoration of
which is reasonably estimated to cost more than $500,000, the Beneficiary will
promptly give written notice thereof to the Mortgagee, generally describing
the nature and extent of such damage or destruction.
15.2. APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. If no Event of Default
or a Default of any monetary obligation under the Notes shall have occurred
and be continuing the Mortgagee consents to the direct payment to the
Beneficiary of Proceeds up to $1,000,000 paid on account of any damage to or
destruction of the Premises (other than Proceeds paid in respect of the
insurance described in clause (d) of Exhibit D hereto), subject to the
interest of the Mortgagee therein under this Mortgage and the provisions
hereof, provided, however, that if an Event of Default or a Default of any
monetary obligation under the Notes occurs and is continuing, all such
Proceeds shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Declaration of
Easements and the Condominium Deed, be held by Mortgagee during the
continuance of such Event of Default or Default in accordance with the next
paragraph hereof.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Declaration of Easements
and the Condominium Deed providing for the manner of application of Proceeds
payable on account of any damage to or destruction of all or any part of the
Premises, the Beneficiary hereby irrevocably assigns to the Mortgagee, as
additional security, all such Proceeds and agrees to the payment to the
Mortgagee of all such Proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 to be held and
invested by the Mortgagee as the Beneficiary shall direct in accordance with
Article 57 hereof, until applied by the Mortgagee in accordance with the terms
hereof. The Beneficiary and the Mortgagee each shall hold all Proceeds
received by it pursuant to this Section (which shall not apply to any Proceeds
payable under public liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance)
in trust to be applied first, to the extent required under the Declaration of
Easements, the Condominium Deed or this Mortgage, to the cost of Restoration
in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of Easements or the
Condominium Deed or, if such provisions do not apply, of this Mortgage (except
that Proceeds paid in respect of the insurance described in clause (d) of
Exhibit D hereto shall be applied to payment of Operating Expenses and amounts
due under the Notes otherwise secured hereby). The earnings, if any, which
accrue from investment of any Proceeds paid to the Mortgagee shall be held by
the Mortgagee and applied to pay, first, any expenses incurred by the
Mortgagee in investing such Proceeds and second, so long as (i) the amount of
Proceeds is greater than the cost of the restoration or repair reasonably
estimated by Mortgagee, and (ii) no Event of Default or Default in the payment
of any monetary obligation under the Notes shall have occurred and be
continuing, the amounts required by the Beneficiary to pay income taxes on
such earnings as and when due. To the extent that this Mortgage provides for
Proceeds to be held by the Mortgagee and applied to a Restoration (including
Restoration resulting from a Taking as provided in Section 16.2), such
Proceeds shall be paid by the Mortgagee to the Beneficiary at any time or
from time to time, as such Restoration progresses, either to pay or to
reimburse the Beneficiary for expenditures made or then required to be made
for Restoration, including payments to contractors, subcontractors,
materialmen, suppliers, attorneys, engineers, architects or other Persons who
have rendered services or furnished materials for such Restoration, subject
to and reflecting customary retentions pending completion of the work, and all
other costs and expenses actually incurred by the Beneficiary in connection
with such Restoration, upon the receipt by the Mortgagee of an Officers'
Certificate dated not more than 30 days prior to the application for such
withdrawal, requesting such payment or reimbursement and setting forth the
work performed which is the subject of the application, the parties which
performed the work and the actual coat thereof and an Architect's certificate
certifying performance of such work. The Beneficiary will, in good faith and
with due diligence, file and prosecute the Beneficiary's claim for any such
Proceeds and, subject to the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section
15.2 relating to the direct payment to the Beneficiary of any Proceeds up to
$1,000,000, will cause the same to be collected and paid over to the
Mortgagee, to be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this
Mortgage. Each of the Mortgagor and the Beneficiary hereby irrevocably
authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee, in the name of the Beneficiary as its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim and to
collect and to make receipt for any such payment, and, if but only if the
Beneficiary fails so to act or if an Event of Default or Default of any
monetary obligation under the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing,
then in such case the Mortgagee may file such claim and prosecute it with
counsel satisfactory to it at the expense of the Beneficiary. The Mortgagee
may participate in any proceedings or negotiations which might result in any
Proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 and all proceedings or negotiations if an
Event of Default then exists, and the Beneficiary will deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Mortgagee all instruments reasonably requested by it to
permit such participation. The Beneficiary will pay all costs, fees and
expenses reasonably incurred by the Mortgagee (including all reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, the fees of insurance experts and adjusters and
the reasonable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration) in connection
with any damage or destruction to the Premises and seeking and obtaining any
payment on account thereof.
If at any time and from time to time after the claim for Proceeds
on account of any casualty or taking has been finally settled, the cost of
Restoration as estimated by the Architect exceeds the Proceeds remaining and
available for application to such Restoration, the Beneficiary will, within
ten (10) days of written demand therefor from Mortgagee, deposit with
Mortgagee cash or Debt Securities issued in the name of Mortgagee and with
maturities of less than 90 days and which will be available, as needed, to
pay costs of Restoration (or with the then Depositary under the Declaration of
Easement, if not the Mortgagee with evidence of such deposit concurrently
furnished to Mortgagee) the amount of such excess, which deposit when
received shall be applied to the costs of Restoration prior to any further
disbursement of Proceeds. Failure of Beneficiary to deposit such excess as
required above shall be an Event of Default hereunder, but shall not relieve
Mortgagee from its obligation to disburse Proceeds as Depositary under the
Declaration of Easements.
The Mortgagee shall hold any Proceeds held by the Mortgagee pursuant
to this Section 15.2 or Section 16.3 as the "Depositary" under the Declaration
of Easements and shall apply such Proceeds only in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the Declaration of Easements. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Mortgagee may refuse to serve as Depositary or may resign as Depositary
provided that any Proceeds it then holds are transferred to a successor
Depositary in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of Easements.
15.3. RESTORATION. In the event that the damage or destruction
does not constitute a Total Loss, the Beneficiary shall be obligated, at its
expense (whether or not the Proceeds are sufficient for such purpose), to
effect the Restoration of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of
the Declaration of Easements, the Condominium Deed, the Mortgage and the
Leases, subject to Excusable Delays (with respect to compliance with this
Mortgage), and shall use all or a portion of such Proceeds to the extent
required, and the Mortgagee shall make such Proceeds avail able to the
Beneficiary (all such Proceeds to be held by the Beneficiary in trust, to be
applied first to the payment of all costs incurred to effect the Restoration),
for Restoration in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of
Easements, the Condominium Deed, this Mortgage and the Leases. If the
Beneficiary will be restoring the Property under this Mortgage, the
Beneficiary shall cause the Architect to prepare both a cost estimate and
schedule for Restoration of the Premises and to provide such estimate and
schedule to the Mortgagee and the Beneficiary. In the event of a Total Loss,
Beneficiary shall apply the Proceeds to the prepayment in full of the Notes
and all other sums secured hereby. In the event the Beneficiary is required
to apply the Proceeds to prepay the Notes in full, any Proceeds remaining
after such prepayment and the payment of all other sums secured hereby shall
be paid to the Beneficiary or as it may direct in writing. In the event that
the Proceeds are insufficient to prepay the Notes in full and to pay all other
sums secured hereby, after the Beneficiary is required to so apply the
Proceeds, the Beneficiary shall, subject to the provisions of Article 38
hereof, pay immediately the amount of such insufficiency to the Mortgagee
until such amount is satisfied. In the event the Beneficiary is obligated to
effect Restoration of the Premises, the Beneficiary shall promptly commence
and complete the Restoration of the Premises in accordance with the provisions
of this Mortgage, the Declaration of Easements and the Condominium Deed,
subject to Excusable Delays (with respect to this Mortgage), and any Proceeds
remaining after completion of such Restoration and delivery of the Officers'
Certificate required under Section 14(d) hereof shall be paid to the
Beneficiary (or the party entitled thereto under the Declaration of Easements
or the Condominium Deed) or as it may direct in writing unless there is an
Event of Default continuing, in which case such remaining Proceeds shall be
paid to the Mortgagee.
16. TAKING OF PROPERTY.
------------------
16.1. THE BENEFICIARY TO GIVE NOTICE; ASSIGNMENT OF AWARDS, ETC.
In case of a Taking of all or any part of the Premises, or the commencement of
any proceedings or negotiations which might result in any such Taking, the
Beneficiary will promptly give written notice thereof to the Mortgagee,
generally describing the nature and extent of such Taking or the nature of
such proceedings or negotiations and the nature and extent of the Taking which
might result therefrom. As additional security, the Mortgagor and the
Beneficiary hereby irrevocably assign, transfer and set over to the Mortgagee,
subject to the provisions of this Mortgage and of the Declaration of Easements,
all rights of the Mortgagor or the Beneficiary to any Proceeds on account of
any Taking, subject to the provisions of this Mortgage with respect to the use
and application of any such Proceeds and provided that in the case of an
amount of such Proceeds which is not more than $1,000,000, if no Event of
Default or a Default of any monetary obligation under the Notes shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary shall have the right to receive
direct payment of such Proceeds, to be held and applied to the Restoration in
accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage and the Declaration of
Easements (all such Proceeds to be held by the Beneficiary in trust, to be
applied first to the payment of all costs incurred to effect the Restoration).
If the amount of Proceeds is reasonably estimated by the Beneficiary to exceed
$5,000,000 or if an Event of Default then exists, the settlement of any such
proceeding and the amount of Proceeds payable in respect thereof shall be
subject to the reasonable approval of the Mortgagee; provided that no such
approval shall be required if the Proceeds shall be sufficient to prepay in
full the Notes and all other sums secured hereby and the Beneficiary has
elected (and is permitted under the Declaration of Easements and the Leases)
to do so. The Beneficiary will in good faith and with due diligence, subject
to Excusable Delays, file and prosecute the Mortgagor's or Beneficiary's
claim for any such Proceeds and, subject to the provisions of the second
sentence of this Section 16.1, will cause the same to be collected and paid
over to the Mortgagee, to be held and applied in accordance with the
provisions of this Mortgage. The Mortgagor and the Beneficiary hereby
irrevocably authorize and empower the Mortgagee, in the name of the Mortgagor
or the Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and
prosecute such claim and to collect and to make receipt for any such award
or payment, and, if, but only if, the Beneficiary fails so to act or if an
Event of Default or a Default of any monetary obligation under the Notes shall
have occurred and be continuing, then in such case the Mortgagee may file such
claim and prosecute it with counsel satisfactory to it at the expense of the
Beneficiary. The Mortgagee may participate in any proceedings or negotiations
which might result in any Taking which may result in an award in excess of
$5,000,000, and the Beneficiary will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Mortgagee all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such
participation. The Beneficiary will pay all costs, fees and expenses
reasonably incurred by the Mortgagee (including all reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses, the fees of insurance experts and adjusters and the
reasonable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration) in connection with
any Taking and seeking and obtaining any award or payment on account thereof.
16.2. PARTIAL TAKING. In case of a Taking of the Property other
than a Total Taking, the Beneficiary shall be obligated, at its expense
(whether or not the Proceeds shall be sufficient for such purpose, but subject
to the provisions of Article 38 hereof) to effect Restoration of the Premises
in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of Easements, the Leases
and this Mortgage, subject to Excusable Delays (with respect to compliance
with this Mortgage).
16.3. APPLICATION OF AWARDS, ETC. All Proceeds received by or
payable to the Mortgagee on account of a Taking shall be held and invested by
the Mortgagee, subject to the provisions of the Declaration of Easements and
the Condominium Deed, until applied by the Mortgagee as follows:
(a) All Proceeds (excluding the Proceeds on account of a Taking for
temporary use) other than Proceeds received on account of a Total Taking
shall be applied to the Restoration of the Premises as if such Proceeds
were Proceeds of a casualty to be applied pursuant to Section 15.2, and
after the completion of the Restoration of the Premises, any balance of
the Proceeds remaining (excluding the proceeds on account of a Taking for
temporary use or proceeds which are not in respect of a diminution in
value of the Premises) shall be applied as a partial prepayment of the
Notes and all other sums secured hereby.
(b) All Proceeds received on account of a Total Taking of the
Property shall be applied to the prepayment in full to the extent that
the Proceeds are sufficient therefor, of the Notes and all other sums
secured hereby, and the balance, if any, shall be paid over and assigned
to the Beneficiary (or the party entitled thereto under the Declaration
of Easements) or as it may direct in writing. In the event that the
Beneficiary is required under this Section 16.3(b) to prepay the Notes
and the Proceeds are insufficient to prepay the Notes in full, the
Beneficiary shall be obligated, subject to the provisions of Article 38
hereof, to pay immediately the amount of such insufficiency to the
Mortgagee.
17. EVICTION BY PARAMOUNT TITLE.
---------------------------
The Beneficiary, within two Business Days of obtaining knowledge of the
pendency of any proceedings for the eviction of the Mortgagor or the
Beneficiary from the Premises or any part thereof by paramount title or
otherwise questioning the Mortgagor's or Beneficiary's title to the Property
or any part thereof as warranted in this Mortgage, or of any condition which
might reasonably be expected to give rise to any such proceedings, shall
notify the Mortgagee thereof. The Mortgagee may participate in such
proceedings, and the Beneficiary will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Mortgagee all instruments reasonably requested by the Mortgagee to permit such
participation. In any such proceeding the Mortgagee may be represented by
counsel reasonably satisfactory to it at the reasonable expense of the
Beneficiary. The Beneficiary will pay all costs, fees and expenses reasonably
incurred by the Mortgagee (including all reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, the fees of insurance experts and adjusters and the reasonable
costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration) in connection with any such
proceeding and seeking and obtaining any award or payment on account thereof.

19.1. SALE OF THE PROPERTY; MANAGEMENT OF THE PROPERTY. (i)

Mortgagor by third parties) unless after giving effect to the proposed
transaction,
(a) the Beneficiary, if the fee title to the Land and Improvements

owned by a land trust, is a single purpose entity which at the time of
such transfer will be in compliance with the covenants contained in
Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof and which has assumed in writing (subject

of, or right of offset against, the rentals payable under any Lease, and will
not materially impair Mortgagor's ability to perform its obligations under the
Declaration of Easements, Condominium Deed, Operating Agreement or any Lease,
and provided that any new Equipment acquired by the Mortgagor or the
