If Lender determines that Xxxxxxxx’s payment of the tax may be unlawful, unenforceable, usurious or taxable to Lender, the Debt will become immediately due and payable on 60 days’ prior notice unless the tax must be paid within the 60-day period, in which case, the Debt will be due and payable within the lesser period.
Section 6.4. Reserves.

Xxxxxxxx will execute and deliver to Lender all documents requested by Xxxxxx and all documents as may be required by Law to confirm such authorizations. Nothing in this Section will be construed to limit or prevent Xxxxxx from joining with Borrower either as a co-defendant or as a co-plaintiff in any Condemnation Proceeding.
(c) If Lender elects not to act on Xxxxxxxx’s behalf as provided in this Section, then Borrower promptly will file and prosecute all claims (including Xxxxxx’s claims) relating to the Casualty and will prosecute or defend (including defense of Xxxxxx’s interest) any Condemnation Proceeding. Borrower will have the authority to settle or compromise the claims or Condemnation Proceeding, as the case may be, provided that Xxxxxx has approved in Xxxxxx’s sole discretion any compromise or settlement that exceeds $750,000.00.

(7) In any case in which under the provisions of this Mortgage Lender has a right to institute foreclosure proceedings, whether before or after the whole principal sum secured hereby is declared to be immediately due as aforesaid, or whether before or after the institution of legal proceedings to foreclose the lien hereof or before or after judgment thereunder, and at all times until confirmation of sale, Borrower shall forthwith, upon demand of Lender, surrender to Lender and Lender shall be entitled to take and upon Xxxxxx’s request to the court to be placed in actual possession of, Xxxxxx shall be placed in possession of the Property or any part thereof; personally, or by its agent or attorneys as provided in Subsections (b)(2) and (c) of Section 1701 of the Act.

(viii) all mechanics’ or similar liens relating to work performed on or materials delivered to the Property prior to Lender exercising its Remedies, but only to the extent Lender had advanced funds to pay for the work or materials after Borrower either has failed to pay for such work or materials or has failed to provide adequate security to Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage;
(ix) all Proceeds that are not applied in accordance with this Mortgage or not paid to Lender as required under this Mortgage;
(x) all losses suffered and liabilities and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx relating to a Transfer that is not permitted under the Section entitled “Permitted Transfers”.

In no event shall any of the foregoing limit the rights or obligations of TIAA or NYL with respect to each other pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement between TIAA and NYL.
ARTICLE XVIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 18.1. Applicable Law. The Loan Documents are governed by and will be construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Illinois without regard to conflict of law provisions.
Section 18.2. Usury Limitations. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx intend to comply with all Laws with respect to the charging and receiving of interest. Any amounts charged or received by Lender for the use or forbearance of the Principal to the extent permitted by Law, will be amortized and spread throughout the Term until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest charged or received by Xxxxxx on account of the Principal does not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. If any amount charged or received under the Loan Documents that is deemed to be interest is determined to be in excess of the amount permitted to be charged or received at the Maximum Interest Rate, the excess will be deemed to be a prepayment of Principal when paid, without premium, and any portion of the excess not capable of being so applied will be refunded to Borrower. If during the Term the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, is eliminated, then for the purposes of the Loan, there will be no Maximum Interest Rate.
44
Section 183. Xxxxxx’s Discretion. Wherever under the Loan Documents any matter is required to be satisfactory to Lender, Xxxxxx has the right to approve or determine any matter or Lender has an election, Xxxxxx’s approval, determination or election will be made in Xxxxxx’s reasonable discretion unless expressly provided to the contrary.
Section 18.4. Unenforceable Provisions. If any provision in the Loan Documents is found to be illegal or unenforceable or would operate to invalidate any of the Loan Documents, then the provision will be deemed expunged and the Loan Documents will be construed as though the provision was not contained in the Loan Documents and the remainder of the Loan Documents will remain in full force and effect.
Section 18.5. Survival of Xxxxxxxx’s Obligations. Borrower’s representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Documents will continue in full force and effect and survive (i) satisfaction of the Obligations; (ii) release of the lien of this Mortgage; (iii) assignment or other transfer of all or any portion of Lender’s interest in the Loan Documents or the Property; (iv) Lender’s exercise of any of the Remedies or any of Lender’s other rights under the Loan Documents; (v) a Transfer; (vi) amendments to the Loan Documents; and (vii) any other act or omission that might otherwise be construed as a release or discharge of Borrower, provided that in the case of (i) or (ii) above, such representations, warranties and covenants shall not survive longer than 18 months after such satisfaction or release.
Section 18.6. Relationship Between Borrower and Lender: No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Lender is not a partner of or joint venturer with Borrower or any other entity as a result of the Loan or Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents; the relationship between Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx is strictly that of creditor and debtor. Each Loan Document is an agreement between the parties to that Loan Document for the mutual benefit of the parties and no entities other than the parties to that Loan Document will be a third party beneficiary or will have any claim against Lender or Borrower by virtue of the Loan Document. As between Lender and Borrower, any actions taken by Lender under the Loan Documents will be taken for Xxxxxx’s protection only, and Xxxxxx has not and will not be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower or to any other entity by virtue of Xxxxxx’s actions.
(b) All conditions to Xxxxxx’s performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents are imposed solely for the benefit of Lender. No entity other than Lender will have standing to require satisfaction of the conditions in accordance with their provisions or will be entitled to assume that Xxxxxx will refuse to perform its obligations in the absence of strict compliance with any of the conditions.
45
Section 18.7. Partial Releases: Extensions: Waivers. Lender may: (i) release any part of the Property or any entity obligated for any of the Obligations; (ii) extend the time for payment or performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise amend the provisions for payment or performance by agreement with any entity that is obligated for the Obligations or that has an interest in the Property; (iii) accept additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations; and (iv) waive any entity’s performance of an Obligation, release any entity or individual now or in the future liable for the performance of the Obligation or waive the exercise of any Remedy or option. Lender may exercise any of the foregoing rights without notice, without regard to the amount of any consideration given, without affecting the priority of the Loan Documents, without releasing any entity not specifically released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, without releasing any guarantor(s) or surety(ies) of any of the Obligations, without effecting a novation of the Loan Documents and, with respect to a waiver, without waiving future performance of the Obligation or exercise of the Remedy waived.
Section 18.8. Service of Process. Borrower irrevocably consents to service of process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Borrower at its address set forth in the Article entitled “Notices”.
Section 18.9. Entire Agreement. Oral agreements or commitments between Borrower and Lender to lend money, to extend credit or to forbear from enforcing repayment of a debt, including promises to extend or renew the debt, are not enforceable. Any agreements between Borrower and Lender relating to the Loan are contained in the Loan Documents, which contain the complete and exclusive statement of the agreements between Borrower and Lender, except as Borrower and Xxxxxx may later agree in writing to amend the Loan Documents. The language of each Loan Document will be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning and will not be construed against the draftsman.
Section 18.10. No Oral Amendment. The Loan Documents may not be amended, waived or terminated orally or by any act or omission made individually by Borrower or Lender but may be amended, waived or terminated only by a written document signed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, waiver or termination is sought.
Section 18.11. Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents will not affect any other provisions of the Loan Documents, which will be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision never had been included.
Section 18.12. Covenants Run with the Land. Subject to the restrictions on transfer contained in the Article entitled “TRANSFERS, LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES”, all of the covenants of this Mortgage and the Assignment run with the Land, will bind all parties hereto and all tenants and subtenants of the Land or the Improvements and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and all occupants and subsequent owners of the Property, and will inure to the benefit of Xxxxxx and all subsequent holders of the Note and this Mortgage.
46
Section 18.13. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to Xxxxxxxx’s payment and performance of the Obligations.
Section 18.14. Subrogation. If the Principal or any other amount advanced by Lender is used directly or indirectly to pay off, discharge or satisfy all or any part of an encumbrance affecting the Property, then Lender is subrogated to the encumbrance and to any security held by the holder of the encumbrance, all of which will continue in full force and effect in favor of Lender as additional security for the Obligations.
Section 18.15. Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one person or entity, the obligations and liabilities of each such person or entity under this Mortgage are joint and several.
Section 18.16. Successors and Assign. The Loan Documents bind the parties to the Loan Documents and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors, agents and representatives and inure to the benefit of Xxxxxx and its successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors, agents and representatives.
Section 18.17. Duplicates and Counterparts. Duplicate counterparts of any Loan Documents, other than the Note, may be executed and together will constitute a single original document.
47
