Section 1.2 Assignment of Rents. Subject to ESBC’s rights and interests pursuant to the Sublease, Mortgagor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to all current and future Leases and Rents; it being intended by Mortgagor that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of the Assignment of Leases and Section 7.1(h) of this Security Instrument, Mortgagee grants to Mortgagor a revocable license to collect, receive, use and enjoy the Rents.

Section 1.3 Security Agreement. This Security Instrument is both a real property mortgage and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Mortgagor in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security Instrument, Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter defined), a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and other property constituting the Property to the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and such other property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the “Collateral”). If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Mortgagee after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor shall, or shall cause ESBC to, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Mortgagee in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral sent to Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Mortgagor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee in its discretion shall deem proper. The principal place of business of Mortgagor (Debtor) is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Mortgagee (Secured Party) is as set forth on page one hereof.

Section 1.4 Fixture Filing. Certain of the Property is or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land, described or referred to in this Security Instrument, and this Security Instrument, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the city or county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed (naming Mortgagor as debtor and Mortgagee as secured party) as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become fixtures.

Section 1.5 Pledges of Monies Held. Mortgagor hereby pledges to Mortgagee any and all monies now or hereafter held by Mortgagee or on behalf of Mortgagee in connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in the Accounts (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), the Funds, and the Net Proceeds, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.

CONDITIONS TO GRANT

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto and to the use and benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, forever to secure the obligations of Mortgagor pursuant to the Loan Documents, subject to Section 16.2(a) hereof;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if Mortgagor shall repay to Mortgagee the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note, the Loan Agreement and this Security Instrument, shall well and truly perform the Other Obligations (hereinafter defined) as set forth in this Security Instrument and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease, terminate and be void; provided, however, that Mortgagor’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee pursuant to the provisions hereof shall survive any such payment or release as and to the extent set forth herein, in the Note and the other Loan Documents (subject to Section 16.2(a) hereof).

OBLIGATIONS AND RELIANCES

Section 4.1 Relationship of Mortgagor and Mortgagee. The relationship between Mortgagor, on the one hand, and Mortgagee and/or Lenders, on the other, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Mortgagee has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Mortgagor, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Mortgagor, on the one hand, and Mortgagee and/or Lenders, on the other, to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

Section 4.2 No Reliance on Mortgagee. The general partners, members, principals and (if Mortgagor is a trust) beneficial owners of Mortgagor are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Property, and Mortgagor and Mortgagee are relying solely upon such expertise and business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property. Mortgagor is not relying on Mortgagee’s or any Lender’s expertise, business acumen or advice in connection with the Property.

Section 4.3 No Mortgagee Obligations. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsections 1.1(i) and (n) or Section 1.2, Mortgagee is not undertaking the performance of (i) any obligations under the Leases; or (ii) any obligations with respect to such agreements, contracts, certificates, instruments, franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and other documents.

(b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Mortgagee and/or Lenders pursuant to this Security Instrument, the Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, neither Mortgagee nor any Lender shall be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Mortgagee.

Section 4.4 Reliance. Mortgagor recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, Mortgagee is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the warranties and representations set forth in Section 3.1 of the Loan Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property; notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Mortgagee, that such reliance existed on the part of Mortgagee prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material inducement to Mortgagee in making the Loan; and that Mortgagee would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Security Instrument in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Loan Agreement.

FURTHER ASSURANCES

Section 5.1 Recording of Security Instrument, etc. Mortgagor forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument and thereafter, from time to time, will cause this Security Instrument and any of the other Loan Documents creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Mortgagee in, the Property. Mortgagor will, or will cause ESBC and Observatory Lessee to, pay, as may be required by law (but excepting any such law relating solely to Mortgagee and/or Lenders in their capacity as such), all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment and/or recording of the Note, this Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents, any Note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal, state, county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by law so to do.

Section 5.2 Further Acts, etc. Mortgagor will, and will cause ESBC and Observatory Lessee, as applicable, at no expense to Mortgagee or Lenders, to execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Mortgagee the property and rights hereby mortgaged, deeded, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Security Instrument or for filing, registering or recording this Security Instrument, or for complying with all Legal Requirements. Mortgagor, on demand, will execute and deliver, and in the event it shall fail to so execute and deliver after reasonable notice, hereby authorizes

Mortgagee to execute in the name of Mortgagor or without the signature of Mortgagor to the extent Mortgagee may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements (including, without limitation, initial financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements) with or without the signature of Mortgagor as authorized by applicable law, to evidence more effectively the security interest of Mortgagee in the Property. Mortgagor also ratifies its authorization for Mortgagee to have filed any like initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements, if filed prior to the date of this Security Instrument. Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of perfecting its rights described in this Section 5.2; provided, however, that Mortgagee shall not exercise such power of attorney except during the existence of an Event of Default. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Mortgagor hereby ratifies all acts Mortgagee has lawfully done in the past or shall lawfully do or cause to be done in the future by virtue of such power of attorney.

Section 5.3 Changes in Tax, Debt, Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws. (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security Instrument which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Mortgagee’s interest in the Property (excluding income taxes, franchise taxes and similar impositions applicable to Mortgagee and/or to Lenders), Mortgagor will, or will cause ESBC to, pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Mortgagee is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Mortgagor would be unlawful or taxable to Mortgagee or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Mortgagee shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable; provided that no Spread Maintenance Premium shall be payable in connection with such prepayment.

(b) Mortgagor will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security Instrument or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable, provided that no Spread Maintenance Premium shall be payable in connection with such prepayment.

(c) If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, this Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Mortgagor will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

Section 5.4 Splitting of Mortgage. This Security Instrument and the Note shall, at any time until the same shall be fully paid and satisfied, at the sole election of Mortgagee, be split or divided into two or more Notes and two or more security instruments, each of which shall cover all or a portion of the Property to be more particularly described therein. To that end, subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, Mortgagor, upon written request of Mortgagee, shall at no cost to Mortgagor or ESBC execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the then owner of the Property, to Mortgagee and/or its designee or designees substitute Notes and security instruments in such

principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid principal amount of the Note, and containing terms, provisions and clauses similar to those contained herein and in the Note, provided that such substitute Notes and security instruments shall not increase Mortgagor’s obligations or increase the amount of interest due thereunder, and such other documents and instruments as may be reasonably required by Mortgagee.

Section 5.5 Replacement Documents. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Mortgagee and an affidavit from the applicable Lender in the form required by the Loan Agreement as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any other Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other Loan Document, Mortgagor will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Loan Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or other Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

ARTICLE 6

DUE ON SALE/ENCUMBRANCE

Section 6.1 Mortgagee Reliance. Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee and Lenders have examined and relied on the experience of Mortgagor and its general partners, members, principals and (if Mortgagor is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Mortgagor’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee and Lenders have a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Mortgagor default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Mortgagee can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.

Section 6.2 No Transfer. Mortgagor shall not permit or suffer any Transfer to occur, unless permitted by the Loan Agreement or unless Mortgagee shall consent thereto in writing.

Section 6.3 Transfer Defined. As used in this Article 6 “Transfer” shall mean any voluntary or involuntary sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of: (a) all or any part of the Property or any estate or interest therein including, but not be limited to, (i) an installment sales agreement wherein Mortgagor agrees to sell the Property or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments, (ii) an agreement by Mortgagor leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder and its affiliates (excluding the Sublease) or (iii) a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents; (b) any ownership interest in (i) Mortgagor or (ii) any indemnitor or guarantor of any Obligations or (iii) any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity owning, directly or indirectly, any interest in Mortgagor or any indemnitor or guarantor of any Obligations; or (c) the control of, or the right or power to control, the day-to-day management and operations of the Property.

Section 6.4 Mortgagee’s Rights. Without obligating Mortgagee to grant any consent under Section 6.2 hereof (to the extent such consent may be required pursuant to said Section 6.2) which Mortgagee may grant or withhold in its sole discretion, Mortgagee reserves the right to condition the consent required hereunder upon (a) a modification of the terms hereof and of the Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents; (b) an assumption of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents as so modified by the proposed transferee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.22 of the Loan Agreement; (c) payment of all of Mortgagee’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such transfer; (d) the proposed transferee’s continued compliance with the representations and covenants set forth in Sections 3.1.23 and 4.2.11 of the Loan Agreement; (e) the proposed transferee’s ability to satisfy Mortgagee’s then-current underwriting standards applicable to similar loans; or (f) such other conditions as Mortgagee shall determine in its reasonable discretion to be in the interest of Mortgagee, including, without limitation, the creditworthiness, reputation and qualifications of the transferee with respect to the Loan and the Property. Mortgagee shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer without Mortgagee’s consent. This provision shall apply to every Transfer, other than any Transfer permitted pursuant to the Loan Agreement, regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Mortgagee has consented to any previous Transfer. Nothing in this Section 6.4 shall affect any transfer provisions set forth in the Loan Agreement, which provisions of the Loan Agreement shall govern and control.

ARTICLE 7

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Section 7.1 Remedies.

(h) the license granted to Mortgagor under Section 1.2 hereof shall automatically be revoked and Mortgagee may upon Notice enter into or upon the Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Mortgagor and its agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Mortgagor and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto of Mortgagor and Mortgagor agrees to, or to cause ESBC and Observatory Lessee to, surrender to Mortgagee, its designee or any such receiver possession of the Property and of such books, records and accounts of ESBC upon demand, and thereupon Mortgagee may (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Mortgagee deems advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Mortgagor, ESBC and Observatory Lessee with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Mortgagor or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, xxx for, collect and receive all Rents of the Property and every part thereof; (v) require Mortgagor, ESBC and Observatory Lessee to pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be occupied by Mortgagor, ESBC or Observatory Lessee; (vi) require Mortgagor, ESBC and Observatory Lessee to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Mortgagor, ESBC and Observatory Lessee may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Property (including Rents payable to ESBC) to the payment of the Debt, in such order, priority and proportions as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other expenses in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Mortgagee, its counsel, agents and employees;

Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Fixtures, the Equipment and/or the Personal Property sent to Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Mortgagor;

(j) apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or otherwise by or on behalf of Mortgagee (excluding tenant security deposits) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document to the payment of the following items in any order in its uncontrolled discretion:

Section 7.2 Application of Proceeds. The purchase money, proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Property, and or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Mortgagee pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, may be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee in its discretion shall deem proper, subject to applicable law.

Section 7.3 Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Mortgagor and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation hereunder, make any payment not theretofor made by Mortgagor pursuant to the terms hereof or do any act provided for herein not theretofor done by Mortgagor as provided herein in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Mortgagee is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 7.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Mortgagee upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Mortgagee that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Mortgagee. All such costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Mortgagee therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an Event of Default arises pursuant to Section 3.4, Section 3.5 or Section 3.6 hereof and occurs as the result of any act or omission of a space tenant under a Lease (a “Tenant Default”), Mortgagor shall have ninety (90) days to cure, or to cause tenant to cure, such Tenant Default (“Mortgagor Cure Period”), provided that (i) no Event of Default, other than such Tenant Default, has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) Mortgagor is diligently and in good faith curing or pursuing tenant to cure the Tenant Default, (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost and (iv) such Mortgagor Cure Period shall not have a Material Adverse Effect on the security afforded to Mortgagee pursuant to this Security Instrument.

Section 7.4 Actions and Proceedings. Mortgagee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor, which if not brought by Mortgagor after notice by Mortgagee could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the security afforded to Mortgagee pursuant to this Security Instrument.

Section 7.5 Recovery of Sums Required to Be Paid. Following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Mortgagor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.

Section 7.6 Examination of Books and Records. No more than twice annually and without limitation during the continuance of an Event of Default, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, Mortgagee, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine the records, books, management and other papers of Mortgagor, ESBC and Observatory Lessee which reflect upon its financial condition, at the Property or at any office regularly maintained by Mortgagor, ESBC or Observatory Lessee where the books and records

are located. Mortgagee and its agents shall have the right to make copies and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers during such examinations. In addition, no more than twice annually but without limitation upon the continuance of an Event of Default, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, Mortgagee, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine and audit the books and records of Mortgagor, ESBC and Observatory Lessee pertaining to the income, expenses and operation of the Property during reasonable business hours at any office of Mortgagor, ESBC or Observatory Lessee or where the books and records are located. This Section 7.6 shall apply throughout the term of the Note and without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

Section 7.7 Other Rights, etc. (a) The failure of Mortgagee or any Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Mortgagor shall not be relieved of Mortgagor’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request of Mortgagor or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Mortgagee extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Mortgagor, and Mortgagee shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Mortgagee shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Mortgagee’s possession.

(c) Following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee, in its discretion, may elect. Mortgagee may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Mortgagee under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Mortgagee shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

Section 7.8 Right to Release Any Portion of the Property. Mortgagee may release any portion of the Property for such consideration (or no consideration) as Mortgagee may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Mortgagee for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Mortgagee may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.

Section 7.9 Recourse and Choice of Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Instrument or the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 10.22 of the Loan Agreement, Mortgagee and other Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) are entitled to enforce the obligations of Mortgagor contained in Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 herein without first resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and without first having recourse to the Note or any of the Property, through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and in the event Mortgagee commences a foreclosure action against the Property, Mortgagee is entitled to pursue a deficiency judgment with respect to such obligations against Mortgagor with respect to the Loan. The provisions of Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 herein are exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpation provisions in the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, and Mortgagor with respect to the Loan is fully and personally liable for the obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee shall make no claim and commence no action against the members of ESBA or any investor or participant in ESBA. The liability of Mortgagor pursuant to Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 herein is not limited to the original principal amount of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent Mortgagee from foreclosing or exercising any other rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, whether simultaneously with foreclosure proceedings or in any other sequence. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Mortgagor pursuant to Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 herein, whether or not action is brought against any other Person or whether or not any other Person is joined in the action or actions. In addition, Mortgagee shall have the right but not the obligation to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any administrative or judicial proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any matter addressed in the Environmental Indemnity.

Section 7.10 Right of Entry. Upon reasonable notice to Mortgagor, Mortgagee and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times subject to the rights of occupancy of tenants pursuant to their respective Leases and accompanied by a representative of Mortgagor.
