For the purpose of further securing the Debt for so long as the Debt or any part thereof remains incomplete or unpaid, Mortgagor covenants and agrees as follows:
ARTICLE I
TAXES AND UTILITIES
1.1 Payment of Taxes. Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid, except to the extent provision is actually made therefor pursuant to Section 1.2 below, all taxes and assessments which are or may become a lien on any portion of, or interest in, the Property or which are assessed against or imposed upon any portion of, or interest in the Property. Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee with receipts (or if receipts are not immediately available, with copies of canceled checks evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after they become available) showing payment of such taxes and assessments at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable delinquency date therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor may, in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and upon notice to Mortgagee, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted tax or assessment so long as (a) such contest is diligently pursued, (b) Mortgagee determines, in its good faith, reasonable opinion, that such contest suspends the obligation to pay the tax and that nonpayment of such tax or assessment will not result in the sale, loss, forfeiture or diminution of the Property or any part thereof or any interest of Mortgagee therein and (c) prior to the earlier of the commencement of such contest or the
-4-
delinquency date of the asserted tax or assessment, Mortgagor deposits in the Impound Account an amount reasonably determined by Mortgagee to be adequate to cover the payment of such tax or assessment and an additional sum sufficient in the sole but reasonable judgment of Mortgagee to cover possible interest, costs and penalties; provided, however, that taxes, assessments, interest, costs and penalties owing shall be paid by Mortgagor prior to the date any writ or order is issued under which the Property may be sold, lost or forfeited.
1.2 Tax and Insurance Impound Account. Mortgagor shall establish and maintain at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect an impound account (the “Impound Account”) with Mortgagee for payment of real estate taxes and assessments and insurance on the Property and as additional security for the Debt. Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Mortgagor shall deposit in the Impound Account an amount reasonably determined by Mortgagee. Commencing on the first Payment Date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each subsequent Payment Date, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Debt is fully paid and performed, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual real estate taxes and assessments that will next become due and payable on the Property, plus one- twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies which Mortgagor is required to maintain hereunder, each as reasonably estimated and determined by Mortgagee. So long as no Event of Default is continuing, and no event has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both would constitute an Event of Default (a “Default”), all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Mortgagee in the Impound Account to pay said taxes, assessments and insurance premiums before the same become delinquent. Mortgagor shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Mortgagee, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof (or promptly after such xxxx, invoice or statement is received by Mortgagor), of all bills, invoices and statements for all taxes, assessments and insurance premiums to be paid from the Impound Account, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and not been waived, Mortgagee shall pay the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. No interest on funds contained in the Impound Account, if any, shall be paid by Mortgagee to Mortgagor.
1.3 Payment of Utilities, Assessments, Charges, Etc. Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid, prior to delinquency all utility charges which are incurred by Mortgagor or which may become a charge or lien against any portion of the Property for gas, electricity, water and sewer services furnished to the Premises and/or the Improvements and all other assessments or charges of a similar nature, or assessments payable pursuant to any restrictive covenants, whether public or private, affecting the Premises and/or the Improvements or any portion thereof, whether or not such assessments or charges are or may become liens thereon.
1.4 Additional Taxes. In the event of the enactment after the date hereof of any law imposing upon Mortgagee the payment of the whole or any part of the taxes or assessments or charges or liens herein required to be paid by Mortgagor, or changing in any way the laws relating to the taxation of mortgages or security agreements or the interest of the Mortgagee or secured party in the property covered thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, so as to adversely affect this Mortgage or the Debt or Mortgagee, then, and in any such event, Mortgagor, within twenty (20) days after receipt of written demand by Mortgagee, shall
-5-
pay such taxes, assessments, charges or liens, or reimburse Mortgagee therefor; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for Mortgagee, (a) it might be unlawful to require Mortgagor to make such payment or (b) the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by law, then and in either such event, Mortgagee may elect, by notice in writing given to Mortgagor, to declare all of the Debt to be and become due and payable in full ninety (90) days from the giving of such notice, and, in connection with such payment of the Debt, no prepayment premium or fee shall be due.
ARTICLE II
INSURANCE
2.1 Insurance. Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagor’s expense, maintain in force and effect on the Property at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect the following insurance:
(a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Property by fire, windstorm, lightning, tornado and hail and against loss and damage by such other, additional risks as may be now or hereafter embraced by an “all-risk” form of insurance policy. The amount of such insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements (as established by an MAI appraisal), without reduction for depreciation. The determination of the replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to comply with the requirements of the insurer issuing such coverage or, at Mortgagee’s election, by reference to such indices, appraisals or information as Mortgagee determines in its reasonable discretion in order to reflect increased value due to inflation. In addition, each policy shall contain inflation guard coverage. Full replacement cost, as used herein, means, with respect to the Improvements, the cost of replacing the Improvements without regard to deduction for depreciation, exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor. Mortgagor shall also maintain insurance against loss or damage to furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment and other items (whether personality or fixtures) included in the Property and owned by Mortgagor from time to time to the extent applicable. Each policy shall contain a replacement cost endorsement and either an agreed amount endorsement (to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions) or a waiver of co-insurance provisions, all subject to Mortgagee’s approval. The maximum deductible shall be $25,000, except as specified otherwise.
(b) Commercial General Liability Insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage occurring on, in or about the Premises or the Improvements in amounts not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate plus umbrella coverage in an amount not less than $2,000,000. Mortgagee hereby retains the right to periodically review the amount of said liability insurance and to require an increase in the amount of said liability insurance should Mortgagee deem an increase to be customary and reasonably prudent under then existing circumstances.
(c) Boiler and machinery insurance (including explosion coverage), if steam boilers or other pressure-fired vessels are in operation at the Premises. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the greater of the replacement cost (insurable value) of the
-6-
Improvements housing such boiler or pressure-fired machinery or $2,000,000. If one or more HVAC units is in operation at the Premises, “Systems Breakdowns” coverage shall be required, as determined by Mortgagee. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the replacement value of such unit(s).
(d) If the Improvements or any part thereof is situated in an area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) as a special flood hazard area (“SFHA,” i.e.; Zones A or V), flood insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or the unpaid balance of the Debt if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured), or (ii) the maximum insurance available under the appropriate National Flood Insurance Administration program. The maximum deductible shall be $10,000 per building or a higher amount as required by FEMA or other applicable law. If the Improvements or any part thereof is situated in an area designated by FEMA as an SFHA, excess flood coverage shall be required to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis to the extent required by Section 2.1(a) hereof (or the unpaid balance of the Note if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured), which excess flood coverage must include business income (loss of rents) insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate Mortgagor for all Rents of existing tenants as evidenced by a current Rent Roll for a period of eighteen (18) months.
(e) During the period of any construction, renovation or alteration of the existing Improvements which exceeds the lesser of 10% of the principal amount of the Note or $500,000, at Mortgagee’s request, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Mortgagee, may be required. During the period of any construction of any addition to the existing Improvements, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Mortgagee, shall be required.
(f) Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance covering all appropriate persons.
(g) Business income (loss of rents) insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate Mortgagor for the greater of (i) gross revenues for twelve (12) months, or (ii) twelve (12) months of operating expenses including debt service. The amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the Rents and Profits or income payable during the succeeding eighteen (18) month period.
(h) Earthquake insurance for properties located in earthquake zones 3 and 4 with Probable Maximum Loss (“PML”) in excess of 20%, as determined by seismic reports. The amount of coverage shall be based on the PML percentage times the replacement cost up to the full replacement cost (insurable value). Wind, sinkhole, and mine subsidence coverage shall be required for properties located in areas prone to those geological phenomena. Maximum deductibles for these types of coverages shall be the lowest deductible available in the area in which the Property is located.
-7-
(i) Such other insurance on the Property or on any replacements or substitutions thereof or additions thereto as may from time to time be reasonably required by Mortgagee based on customary types of insurance requested for properties similarly situated against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of properties similarly situated including, without limitation, sinkhole, mine subsidence, earthquake and environmental insurance, due regard being given to the height and type of Improvements, their construction, location, use and occupancy.
(j) Insurance coverage against loss or damage to persons and property by reason of any act of terrorism, to the extent such coverage is commercially available and is then being required by lenders for similarly situated multifamily properties in the same or similar locales.
All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers fully licensed and authorized to do business in the state within which the Premises is located and which have and maintain a rating of at least AA by Standard & Poor’s (or equivalent), (ii) contain the complete address of the Premises (or a complete legal description), (iii) be for terms of at least one year, with premium prepaid, and (iv) be subject to the reasonable approval of Mortgagee as to insurance companies, amounts, content, forms of policies and expiration dates, and (v) include a standard, union non-contributory, mortgagee clause naming EXACTLY:
DEUTSCHE BANC MORTGAGE CAPITAL, L.L.C.,
00 Xxxx Xxxxxx
00xx Xxxxx
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000
(or such other servicer designated from time to time by Mortgagee in writing)
(a) as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies, (b) as the first mortgagee and additional insured or insured mortgagee on all property insurance policies and (c) as the loss payee on all loss of rents or loss of business income insurance policies.
Mortgagor shall, as of the date hereof, deliver to Mortgagee evidence that said insurance policies have been prepaid as required above with original certificates signed by an authorized agent of the applicable insurance companies evidencing such insurance in form reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee. Certified copies of such policies must be delivered to Mortgagee within thirty (30) days of the date hereof. Mortgagor shall renew all such insurance and deliver to Mortgagee certificates and policies evidencing such renewals at least thirty (30) days before any such insurance shall expire. Mortgagor further agrees that each such insurance policy: (i) shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Mortgagee prior to any policy reduction or cancellation for any reason other than non-payment of premium and at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Mortgagee prior to any cancellation due to non-payment of premium; (ii) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Mortgagor or any other person which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance; (iii) shall waive all rights of subrogation against Mortgagee; (iv) in the event that the Premises or the Improvements constitutes a legal non-conforming use under applicable building, zoning or land use laws or ordinances, shall include an ordinance and law coverage
-8-
endorsement which will contain Coverage A: “Loss Due to Operation of Law” (with a minimum liability limit equal to Replacement Cost With Agreed Value Endorsement), Coverage B: “Demolition Cost” and Coverage C: “Increased Cost of Construction” coverages; and (v) may be in the form of a blanket policy, provided that, Mortgagor hereby acknowledges and agrees that failure to pay any portion of the premium therefor which is not allocable to the Property or any other action not relating to the Property which would otherwise permit the issuer thereof to cancel the coverage thereof, would require the Property to be insured by a separate, single-property policy and the blanket policy must properly identify and fully protect the Property as if a separate policy were issued for one hundred percent 100% of Replacement Cost at the time of loss and otherwise meet all of Mortgagee’s applicable insurance requirements set forth in this Section 2.1. The delivery to Mortgagee of the insurance policies or the certificates of insurance as provided above shall constitute an assignment of all proceeds payable under such insurance policies relating to the Property by Mortgagor to Mortgagee as further security for the Debt. In the event of the foreclosure of this Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all proceeds payable under such policies then in force concerning the Property shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, or in Mortgagee or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title. Approval of any insurance by Mortgagee shall not be a representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance. In the event Mortgagor fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Mortgagee the policies of insurance required by this Mortgage or evidence of their replacement or renewal as required herein, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and Mortgagor shall pay all amounts advanced by Mortgagee therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date advanced by Mortgagee until actually repaid by Mortgagor, within ten (10) days of receipt of written demand by Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the failure of the insurer to perform, even though Mortgagee has caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after failure of Mortgagor to furnish such insurance. Mortgagor shall not obtain insurance for the Property in addition to that required by Mortgagee without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that (i) Mortgagee is a named insured on such insurance, (ii) Mortgagee receives complete copies of all policies evidencing such insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable requirements set forth herein.
ARTICLE III
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
3.1 Casualty and Condemnation. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prompt written notice of the occurrence of any casualty affecting, or the institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of, the Property or any portion thereof. All insurance proceeds on the Property, exceeding $250,000 and all causes of action, claims, compensation, awards and recoveries for any damage, condemnation or taking of all or any part of the Property or for any diminution in value of the Property, exceeding $250,000 are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Mortgagee, except as otherwise set forth herein. Mortgagee may participate in any suits or proceedings relating to any such proceeds, causes of action, claims,
-9-
compensation, awards or recoveries, and Mortgagee is hereby authorized, in its own name or, upon written notice to Mortgagor, in Mortgagor’s name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and Mortgagor shall from time to time deliver to Mortgagee any instruments reasonably required to permit such participation; provided, however, that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and not been waived, Mortgagee shall not have the right to participate in the adjustment of any loss which is not in excess of the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $500,000. Mortgagee shall apply any sums received by it under this Section first to the payment of all of its reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in obtaining those sums, and then, as follows:
(a) In the event that less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Improvements located on the Premises have been destroyed or less than fifteen percent (15%) of the Improvements located on the Premises have been taken:
1. no Event of Default is continuing hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and has not been waived, and
2. the Property can, in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, with diligent restoration or repair, be returned to a condition at least equal to the condition thereof that existed prior to the casualty or partial taking causing the loss or damage within the earlier to occur of (i) nine (9) months after the receipt of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards by either Mortgagor or Mortgagee, and (ii) sixty (60) days prior to the stated maturity date of the Note, and
3. all necessary governmental approvals can be obtained to allow the rebuilding and re-occupancy of the Property as described in subsection (2) above, and
4. there are sufficient sums available (through insurance proceeds or condemnation awards and contributions by Mortgagor, the full amount of which (or security for which) shall, at Mortgagee’s option, have been deposited with Mortgagee) for such restoration or repair (including, without limitation, for any reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Mortgagee to be incurred in administering said restoration or repair) and for payment of principal and interest to become due and payable under the Note during such restoration or repair, and
5. the economic feasibility of the Improvements after such restoration or repair will be such that income from their operation is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to pay operating expenses of the Property and debt service on the Debt in full with the same coverage ratio considered by Mortgagee in its determination to make the loan secured hereby, and
6. in the event that the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received as a result of such casualty or partial taking exceed the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $500,000, Mortgagor shall have delivered to Mortgagee, at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense, an appraisal report
-10-
from an appraiser reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee appraising the value of the Property as proposed to be restored or repaired to be not less than the appraised value of the Property considered by Mortgagee in its determination to make the loan secured hereby, and
7. Mortgagor so elects by written notice delivered to Mortgagee within ten (10) business days after settlement of the aforesaid insurance or condemnation claim, then, Mortgagee shall, solely for the purposes of such restoration or repair, advance so much of the remainder of such sums as may be required for such restoration or repair, and any funds deposited by Mortgagor therefor, to Mortgagor in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be reasonably required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the prior approval by Mortgagee (which approval shall not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Mortgagee of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee in its good faith discretion, with any remainder being applied by Mortgagee for payment of the Debt in whatever order Mortgagee directs in its absolute but good faith discretion.
(b) In all other cases, namely, in the event that more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Improvements located on the Premises have been taken or more than twenty-five percent (25%) destroyed or Mortgagor does not elect to restore or repair the Property pursuant to subparagraph (a) above or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of subparagraph (a) above, then, in any of such events, Mortgagee may elect, in Mortgagee’s absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of Mortgagee’s security, to do either of the following: (1) accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any and all of the Debt to be immediately due and payable and apply the remainder of such sums received pursuant to this Section to the payment of the Debt in whatever order Mortgagee directs in its absolute discretion, with any remainder being paid to Mortgagor, or (2) notwithstanding that Mortgagor may have elected not to restore or repair the Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1(a)(7) above, require Mortgagor to restore or repair the Property in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be reasonably required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the deposit by Mortgagor with Mortgagee, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, of any deficiency reasonably determined by Mortgagee to be necessary in order to assure the availability of sufficient funds to pay for such restoration or repair, including Mortgagee’s reasonable costs and expenses to be incurred in connection therewith, the prior approval by Mortgagee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Mortgagee of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee in its good faith discretion, and apply the remainder of such sums toward such restoration and repair, with any balance thereafter remaining being applied by Mortgagee for payment of the Debt in whatever order Mortgagee directs in its absolute discretion.
Any reduction in the Debt resulting from Mortgagee’s application of any sums received by it hereunder shall not be subject to any prepayment penalty and shall take effect only
-11-
when Mortgagee actually receives such sums and elects to apply such sums to the Debt and, in any event, the unpaid portion of the Debt shall remain in full force and effect and Mortgagor shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Partial payments received by Mortgagee, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be applied first to the final payment due under the Note and thereafter to installments due under the Note in the inverse order of their due date. If Mortgagor elects or Mortgagee directs Mortgagor to restore or repair the Property after the occurrence of a casualty or partial taking of the Property as provided above, Mortgagor shall promptly and diligently, at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds or condemnation award, as appropriate, shall be sufficient for such purpose, restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such casualty or partial taking in accordance with the foregoing provisions and Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee all reasonable costs and expenses of Mortgagee incurred in administering said rebuilding, restoration or repair. Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as may be reasonably requested by Mortgagee to confirm the assignment to Mortgagee of any award, damage, insurance proceeds, payment or other compensation. Subject to the terms herein, Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor, with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this Article III, to settle for, collect and receive any such awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittances therefor.

(b) Mortgagor has not received nor, to the best of Mortgagor’s knowledge, information and belief has there been issued, any notice, notification, demand, request for information, citation, summons, or order in any way relating to any actual, alleged or potential violation or liability arising under Environmental Laws.
(c) Neither the Property, nor to the best of Mortgagor’s knowledge, information and belief, any property to which Mortgagor has, in connection with the maintenance or operation of the Property, directly or indirectly transported or arranged for the transportation of any Hazardous Substances to, is listed or, to the best of Mortgagor’s knowledge, information and belief, proposed for listing on the National Priorities List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA, on CERCLIS (as defined in CERCLA) or on any similar federal or state list of sites requiring environmental investigation or clean-up.
(d) Mortgagor shall comply with all applicable Environmental Laws. Mortgagor shall keep or cause the Property to be kept free from Hazardous Substances (except Permitted Materials).
(e) Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of (i) the actual or potential existence of any Hazardous Substances on the Property other than Permitted Materials, (ii) any violation relating to the Property of, or other exposure to liability under, any Environmental Laws, (iii) any lien, action or notice affecting the Property or Mortgagor resulting from any violation or alleged violation of or liability or alleged liability under any Environmental Laws
-13-
arising from any condition or activity on the Property, (iv) the institution of any investigation, inquiry or proceeding concerning Mortgagor or the Property pursuant to any Environmental Laws or otherwise relating to Hazardous Substances, or (v) the discovery of any occurrence, condition or state of facts which would render any representation or warranty contained in this Mortgage incorrect in any respect if made at the time of such discovery. Immediately upon receipt of same, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee copies of any and all requests for information, complaints, citations, summonses, orders, notices, reports or other communications, documents or instruments in any way relating to any actual, alleged or potential violation or liability of any nature whatsoever arising under Environmental Laws and relating to the Property or to Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall remedy or cause to be remedied in a timely manner (and in any event within the time period permitted by applicable Environmental Laws) any violation of Environmental Laws or any condition that is reasonably likely to give rise to liability under Environmental Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagor shall, promptly and regardless of the source of the contamination or threat to the environment or human health, at its own expense, take all actions as shall be reasonably necessary or prudent, for the clean-up of Hazardous Substances (other than Permitted Materials) affecting any and all portions of the Property or other affected property affected by Hazardous Substances located or released in, on, upon or emanating from the Property; including, without limitation, all investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (and in all events in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, provided, however, so long as Mortgagor has complied with all Environmental Laws, Mortgagee shall be deemed satisfied) and shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense to Mortgagee, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted against the Property. In the event Mortgagor fails to do so, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, cause the Property or other affected property to be freed from any Hazardous Substances, the presence of which violates Environmental Laws, or otherwise brought into conformance with Environmental Laws. Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee and its agents and employees access during reasonable times on reasonable notice to the Property and a license to remove any items deemed by Mortgagee to be Hazardous Substances, the presence of which violates Environmental Laws, and to do all things Mortgagee shall reasonably deem necessary to bring the Property into conformance with Environmental Laws.
(f) Mortgagor covenants and agrees, at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense, to indemnify, defend (at trial and appellate levels, and with attorneys, consultants and experts reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee), and hold Mortgagee harmless from and against any and all liens, damages (including without limitation, punitive or exemplary damages), losses, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liability), obligations, settlement payments, penalties, fines, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements actually incurred in investigating, defending, settling or prosecuting any claim, litigation or proceeding) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Mortgagee or the Property, and arising directly or indirectly from or out of: (i) any violation or alleged violation of, or liability or alleged liability under, any Environmental Law; (ii) the presence, release or threat of release of or exposure to any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas affected by Hazardous Substances located or released in, on, upon or
-14-
emanating from the Property, regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of Mortgagor; (iii) any transport, treatment, recycling, storage, disposal or arrangement therefor of Hazardous Substances whether on the Property, originating from the Property, or otherwise associated with Mortgagor or any operations conducted on the Property at any time; (iv) the failure by Mortgagor to comply fully with the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1; (v) the material breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Section 4.1; and (vi) the enforcement of this Section 4.1. The indemnity set forth in this Section 4.1 shall also include any diminution in the value of the security afforded by the Property or any future reduction in the sales price of the Property by reason of any matter set forth in this Section 4.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor shall not be required to indemnify Mortgagee to the extent such liability arises out of the gross negligence or willful conduct of Mortgagee. Mortgagee’s rights under this Section shall survive payment in full of the Debt and shall be in addition to all other rights of Mortgagee under this Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
(g) Upon Mortgagee’s request, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which has not been cured or waived or at such other time as Mortgagee has reasonable grounds to believe that Hazardous Substances other than Permitted Materials are or have been released, stored or disposed of on the Property, or on property affecting the Property, or that the Property may be in violation of the Environmental Laws, Mortgagor shall perform or cause to be performed, at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense and in scope, form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant reasonably approved by Mortgagee indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on the Property, the compliance or non-compliance status of the Property and the operations conducted thereon with applicable Environmental Laws, or an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by an engineering or consulting firm reasonably approved by Mortgagee indicating the presence or absence of friable asbestos or substances containing asbestos or lead or substances containing lead or lead based paint (“Lead Based Paint”) on the Property. If Mortgagor fails to provide reports of such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after receipt of such request, Mortgagee may order the same at Mortgagor’s expense, and Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee and its employees and agents access to the Property and an irrevocable license to undertake such inspection or audit.
(h) Reference is made to that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith from Mortgagor and Xxxx Xxxxxx for the benefit of Mortgagee (the “Environmental Indemnity Agreement”). The provisions of this Mortgage and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement shall be read together to maximize the coverage with respect to the subject matter thereof, as determined by Mortgagee.
(i) If, prior to the date hereof it was determined that the Property contains asbestos containing materials (“ACM’s”), Mortgagor covenants and agrees, if necessary under such guidelines, to institute, within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, an operations and maintenance program (the “Maintenance Program”) designed by an environmental consultant, reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, with respect to ACM’s, consistent with “Guidelines for Controlling Asbestos-Containing Materials in Buildings” (USEPA, 1985) and other relevant guidelines, and such Maintenance Program will hereafter continuously remain in effect until the Debt secured hereby is repaid in full or assigned pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. If, at any time hereafter, ACM’s are suspected of being present on the Property, Mortgagor
-15-
agrees to institute, within forty-five (45) days of such discovery, a Maintenance Program. In furtherance of the foregoing, Mortgagor shall inspect and maintain all ACM’s on a regular basis and ensure that all ACM’s shall be maintained in a condition that prevents exposure of occupants to ACM’s at all times. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Mortgagee may require (i) periodic notices or reports to Mortgagee in form, substance and at such intervals as Mortgagee may reasonably specify, (ii) an amendment to such operations and maintenance program to address changing circumstances, laws or other matters, (iii) at Mortgagor’s sole expense, supplemental examination of the Property by consultants reasonably approved by Mortgagee, and (iv) variation of the operations and maintenance program in response to the reports provided by any such consultants.
(j) If, prior to the date hereof, it was determined that the Property contains Lead Based Paint, Mortgagor had prepared an assessment report describing the location and condition of the Lead Based Paint (a “Lead Based Paint Report”). If, at any time hereafter, Lead Based Paint is suspected of being present on the Property, Mortgagor agrees, at its sole cost and expense and within thirty (30) days thereafter, to cause to be prepared a Lead Based Paint Report prepared by an expert, and in form, scope and substance, reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee.
(k) Mortgagor agrees that if it has been, or if at any time hereafter it is, determined that the Property contains Lead Based Paint, on or before thirty (30) days following (i) the date hereof, if such determination was made prior to the date hereof or (ii) such determination, if such determination is hereafter made, as applicable, Mortgagor shall, at its sole cost and expenses, develop and implement, and thereafter diligently and continuously carry out (or cause to be developed and implemented and thereafter diligently and continually to be carried out), an operations, abatement and maintenance plan for the Lead Based Paint on the Property, which plan shall be prepared by an expert, and be in form, scope and substance, reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee (together with any Lead Based Paint Report, the “O&M Plan”). If an O&M Plan has been prepared prior to the date hereof, Mortgagor agrees to diligently and continually carry out (or cause to be carried out) the provisions thereof. Compliance with the O&M Plan shall require or be deemed to require, without limitation, the proper preparation and maintenance of all records, papers and forms required under the Environmental Laws.
ARTICLE V
RESERVES
5.1 Intentionally Deleted.
5.2 Replacement Reserve.
(a) As additional security for the Debt, Mortgagor shall establish and maintain at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect a capital improvement reserve (the “Replacement Reserve”) with Mortgagee for payment of costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagor in connection with the performance of work which would normally be treated as a capital improvement under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied (collectively, the “Replacements”). Commencing on the first Payment Date under the Note and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, in addition to
-16-
the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Debt is fully paid and performed, a deposit to the Replacement Reserve in an amount equal to $3,459.00 on each Payment Date. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and then exists and has not been waived, Mortgagee shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Replacement Reserve, disburse to Mortgagor the amount paid or incurred by Mortgagor in performing Replacements within ten (10) days following: (a) the receipt by Mortgagee of a written request from Mortgagor for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve and a certification by Mortgagor in a form approved in writing by Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed that the applicable item of Replacement has been completed; (b) the delivery to Mortgagee of invoices, receipts or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, verifying the cost of performing the Replacements; (c) for disbursement requests in excess of $50,000, the delivery to Mortgagee of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee showing that all parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished material or labor to the Property have been paid, or upon the making of the requested disbursements, will be paid, all amounts due for labor and materials furnished to the Property; (d) for disbursement requests in excess of $50,000, delivery to Mortgagee of a certification from an inspecting architect or other third party reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee describing the completed Replacements and verifying the completion of the Replacements and the value of the completed Replacements; and (e) for disbursement requests in excess of $50,000, delivery to Mortgagee of a new certificate of occupancy for the portion of the Improvements covered by such Replacements, if said new certificate of occupancy is required by law, or an architect’s certification by Mortgagor that no new certificate of occupancy is required. Mortgagee shall not be required to make advances from the Replacement Reserve more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period. In making any payment from the Replacement Reserve, Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely on such request from Mortgagor without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any such amount. Mortgagee may, at Mortgagor’s expense, make or cause to be made during the term of this Mortgage an annual inspection of the Property to determine the need, as determined by Mortgagee in its reasonable judgment, for further Replacements of the Property; such inspection to be no more frequent than once in any calendar year unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and not been waived. In the event that such inspection reveals, in Mortgagee’s reasonable opinion, that further Replacements of the Property are required, Mortgagee shall provide Mortgagor with a written description of the required Replacements and Mortgagor shall complete such Replacements to the reasonable satisfaction of Mortgagee within ninety (90) days (or such additional time as reasonably required so long as Mortgagor has begun the completion of such Replacements within such ninety (90) day period and diligently continues such work) after the receipt of such description from Mortgagee, subject to extension for force majeure, or such later date as may be approved by Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion.
(b) Mortgagee shall cause funds in the Replacement Reserve to be deposited into interest bearing accounts of the type customarily maintained by Mortgagee or its servicing agent for the investment of similar reserves, which accounts may not yield the highest interest rate then available. Interest payable on such amounts shall be computed based on the daily outstanding balance in the Replacement Reserve. Such interest shall be calculated on a simple, non-compounded interest basis based solely on contributions made to the Replacement Reserve by Mortgagor. All interest earned on amounts contributed to the Replacement Reserve shall be retained by Mortgagee and accumulated for the benefit of Mortgagor and added to the balance in the Replacement Reserve and shall be disbursed for payment of the items for which other funds in the Replacement Reserve are to be disbursed.
-17-
(c) As additional security for the payment and performance by Mortgagor of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, Mortgagor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assigns and pledges to Mortgagee, and hereby grants to Mortgagee a security interest in, (i) the Impound Account, the Replacement Reserve, the Repair and Remediation Reserve and any other reserve or escrow account established pursuant to the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document (collectively, the “Reserves”), (ii) all insurance on said accounts, (iii) all accounts, contract rights and general intangibles or other rights and interests pertaining thereto, (iv) all replacements, substitutions or proceeds thereof, (v) all instruments and documents now or hereafter evidencing the Reserves or such accounts, (vi) all powers, options, rights, privileges and immunities pertaining to the Reserves (including the right to make withdrawals therefrom) and (vii) all replacements, substitutions and all proceeds of the foregoing. Mortgagor hereby authorizes and consents to each account into which the Reserves have been deposited being held in Mortgagee’s name or the name of any entity servicing the loan evidenced by the Note for Mortgagee and hereby acknowledges and agrees that Mortgagee, or at Mortgagee’s election, such servicing agent, shall have exclusive control over each account. Notice of the assignment and security interest granted to Mortgagee herein may be delivered by Mortgagee to Mortgagor at any time to the financial institutions wherein the Reserves have been established, and Mortgagee, or such servicing entity, shall have possession of all passbooks or other evidences of such accounts. Mortgagor hereby assumes all risk of loss with respect to amounts on deposit in the Reserves other than any such loss resulting solely from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Mortgagee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Mortgagor hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally stipulates, acknowledges and agrees that the advancement of the funds from the Reserves as set forth herein is at Mortgagor’s direction and is not the exercise by Mortgagee of any right of set-off or other remedy upon a Default or an Event of Default. Mortgagor hereby waives all right to withdraw funds from the Reserves except as provided for in this Mortgage. If an Event of Default shall occur hereunder or under any other of the Loan Documents which is not cured or waived, Mortgagee may, without notice or demand on Mortgagor, at its option: (A) withdraw any or all of the funds (including, without limitation, interest) then remaining in the Reserves and apply the same, after deducting all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of safekeeping, collection and delivery (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) to the Debt or any other obligations of Mortgagor under the other Loan Documents in such manner as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, and the excess, if any, shall be paid to Mortgagor, (B) exercise any and all rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code or (C) exercise any other remedies available at law or in equity. No such use or application of the funds contained in the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default.
(d) The Reserves shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Mortgagee’s option and in Mortgagee’s discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Mortgagee with the general funds of Mortgagee. Upon assignment of this Mortgage by Mortgagee, any funds in the Reserves shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Mortgagee, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate, provided that the assignee assumes all obligations related to
-18-
such Reserves and Mortgagor is provided with notice of such assignment. If the funds in the applicable Reserve shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Mortgagee for the purposes and items for which the applicable Reserve is held, such excess may be credited by Mortgagee on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Mortgagee, refunded to Mortgagor. If, however, the applicable Reserve shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required by the dates on which such sums are required to be on deposit in such account, Mortgagor shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Mortgagee the full amount of any such deficiency. If Mortgagor shall fail to deposit with Mortgagee the full amount of such deficiency as provided above, Mortgagee shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make such deposit.
5.3 Repair and Remediation Reserve. Prior to the execution of this Mortgage, Mortgagee has caused the Property to be inspected and such inspection has revealed that the Property is in need of certain maintenance, repairs and/or remedial or corrective work. Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Mortgagor has established with the Mortgagee a reserve in the amount of $17,250.00 (the “Repair and Remediation Reserve”) by depositing such amount with Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall cause each of the items (the “Deferred Maintenance”) described in that certain engineering report (the “Engineering Report”) prepared for Mortgagee in connection with the making of the Loan to be completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of Mortgagee and as necessary to bring the Property into compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations on or before the expiration of six (6) months after the effective date hereof (or such additional time as is necessary to complete the repairs so long as Mortgagor is diligently pursuing completion of same), subject to extension for force majeure, as such time period may be extended by Mortgagee in its sole but reasonable discretion. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, all sums in the Repair and Remediation Reserve shall be held by Mortgagee in the Repair and Remediation Reserve to pay the costs and expenses of completing the Deferred Maintenance. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Repair and Remediation Reserve, disburse to Mortgagor the amount paid or incurred by Mortgagor in completing, performing, remediating or correcting the Deferred Maintenance upon (a) the receipt by Mortgagee of a written request from Mortgagor for disbursement from the Repair and Remediation Reserve and a certification by Mortgagor in a form as may be reasonably required by Mortgagee that the applicable item of Deferred Maintenance has been completed in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage, (b) delivery to Mortgagee of invoices, receipts or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee verifying the costs of the Deferred Maintenance to be reimbursed, (c) delivery to Mortgagee of a certification from an inspecting architect, engineer or other consultant reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee describing the completed work, verifying the completion of the work and the value of the completed work and, if applicable, certifying that the Property is, as a result of such work, in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations relating to the Deferred Maintenance so performed and (d) delivery to Mortgagee of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished materials or labor to the Property have been paid all amounts due for such labor and materials furnished to the Property. Mortgagee shall not be required to make advances from the Repair and Remediation Reserve more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period. In making any payment from the Repair and Remediation Reserve,
-19-
Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely on such request from Mortgagor without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any such amount. No interest on the funds contained in the Repair and Remediation Reserve shall be paid by Mortgagee to Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee a power-of-attorney, coupled with an interest, to cause the Deferred Maintenance to be completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of Mortgagee upon Mortgagor’s failure to do so in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 5.3, and to apply the amounts on deposit in the Repair and Remediation Reserve to the costs associated therewith, all as Mortgagee may determine in its good faith discretion but without obligation to do so.
5.4 Permitted Investments.
(a) All Reserves and any other funds held as security for the Loan shall be held in an Eligible Account (as hereinafter defined). Mortgagor agrees that Reserves and such other funds held by Mortgagee as security for the loan may be invested in Permitted Investments (as hereinafter defined).
(b) An “Eligible Account” shall mean any of (i) an account maintained with a federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company (including the trustee in any securitization of which this Loan is a part), and (a) with respect to deposits held for thirty (30) days or more in such account, the long-term deposit or unsecured debt obligations of which are rated no lower than “AA” by Standard & Poor’s, and “A2” by Moody’s (if then rated by Moody’s) or, in each such case, such lower rating as will not result in qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the certificates issued in connection with any securitization of which this Loan is a part, as evidenced in writing by the applicable rating agencies, at any time such funds are on deposit therein, or (b) with respect to deposits held for less than thirty (30) days in such account, the short-term deposits of which are rated no lower than P-1 by Moody’s (if then rated by Moody’s) and A-1 by Standard & Poor’s or, in each such case, such lower rating as will not result in qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to such certificates, as evidenced in writing by the applicable rating agencies at any time such funds are on deposit therein of (ii) a segregated trust account or accounts maintained with a federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company acting in its fiduciary capacity, which, in the case of a state chartered depository institution or trust company, is subject to regulations regarding fiduciary funds on deposit therein substantially similar to 12 CFR Section 9.10(b), having in either case a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority.
(c) “Permitted Investment” shall mean any one or more of the following obligations or securities having maturities of 365 days or less (including obligations or securities of the trustee if otherwise qualifying hereunder):
(i) direct obligations of, or obligations fully guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by, the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof, provided such obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

If rated, such an obligation should not have an “r” highlighter affixed to its rating by Standard & Poor’s.
-20-
Interest may either be fixed or variable. Interest should be tied to a single interest rate index plus a single fixed spread (if any), and move proportionately with that index. Such investments should not be relied upon for a fixed yield;
(ii) repurchase obligations with respect to any security described in clause (i) above (having original maturities of not more than 365 days), provided that the short-term deposit or debt obligations, of the party agreeing to repurchase such obligations are rated in the highest rating category of each of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s or such lower rating as will not result in qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to the certificates, as evidenced in writing by the applicable rating agencies. In addition, any such item should not have an “r” highlighter affixed to its rating by Standard & Poor’s, and its terms should have a predetermined fixed dollar amount of principal due at maturity that cannot vary or change. Interest may either be fixed or variable, and should be tied to a single interest rate index plus a single fixed spread (if any), and move proportionately with that index. Such investments should not be relived upon for a fixed yield;
(iii) certificates of deposit, time deposits, demand deposits and bankers’ acceptances of any bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (having original maturities of not more than 365 days), the short-term obligations of which are rated in the highest rating category of each of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s or such lower rating as will not result in qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the certificates, as evidenced in writing by the applicable rating agencies.

Such investments should not be relied upon for a fixed yield;
(iv) commercial paper (having original maturities of not more than 365 days) of any corporation incorporated under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (or if not so incorporated, the commercial paper is United States Dollar denominated and amounts payable thereunder are not subject to any withholding imposed by any non- United States jurisdiction) which is rated in the highest rating category of each of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s or such lower rating as will not result in qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the certificates, as evidenced in writing by the applicable rating agencies. The commercial paper should not have an “r” highlighter affixed to its rating by Standard & Poor’s and by its terms should have a predetermined fixed dollar amount of principal due at maturity that cannot vary or change. Interest may either be fixed or variable. Interest should be tied to a single interest rate index plus a single fixed spread (if any), and move proportionately with that index. Such investments should not be relied upon for a fixed yield;
(v) units of money market funds rated in the highest rating category of Moody’s and AAAm or AAAm-G by Standard & Poor’s (or such lower rating as will not result in qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the certificates, as evidenced in writing by the applicable rating agencies) and which seek to maintain a constant net asset value;
-21-
(vi) any other obligation or security acceptable to each rating agency, evidence of which acceptability shall be provided in writing by each rating agency to the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee;
provided that (1) no investment described in this Section 5.4 shall evidence either the right to receive (x) only interest with respect to such investment (y) a yield to maturity greater than 120% of the yield to maturity at par of the underlying obligations; and (2) that no investment described hereunder may be purchased at a price greater than par if such investment may be prepaid or called at a price less than its purchase price prior to stated maturity.
ARTICLE VI
RENTS; LEASES; ALIENATION
6.1 Rents and Profits. As additional and collateral security for the payment of the Debt and cumulative of any and all rights and remedies herein provided for, Mortgagor hereby absolutely and presently assigns to Mortgagee all existing and future Rents and Profits. Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee the sole, exclusive and immediate right, without taking possession of the Property, to demand, collect (by suit or otherwise), receive and give valid and sufficient receipts for any and all of said Rents and Profits, for which purpose Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact with full power to appoint substitutes or a trustee to accomplish such purpose. Mortgagee shall be without liability for any loss which may arise from a failure or inability to collect Rents and Profits, proceeds or other payments, unless same is a result of Mortgagee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. However, until the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Mortgage or under any other of the Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall have an exclusive license to collect, receive, use and enjoy the Rents and Profits when due and prepayments thereof for not more than one (1) month prior to due date thereof. The assignment of Rents and Profits hereinabove granted shall continue in full force and effect during any period of foreclosure or redemption with respect to the Property. Mortgagor has executed an Assignment of Leases and Rents dated of even date herewith (the “Assignment”) in favor of Mortgagee covering all of the right, title and interest of Mortgagor, as landlord, lessor or licensor, in and to any Leases. All rights and remedies granted to Mortgagee under the Assignment shall be in addition to and cumulative of all rights and remedies granted to Mortgagee hereunder.
6.2 Leases.
(a) Each residential Lease executed after the date hereof or any amendment, extension or renewal of any residential Lease entered into by Mortgagor (any such new Lease or amendment, extension or renewal of any residential Lease being referred to as a “Future Lease”) shall (a) be on the standard form of residential lease (“Standard Form”) which has been approved in writing by Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and which may hereafter be modified from time to time, upon notice to Mortgagee but without Mortgagee’s approval, to comply with legal requirements and otherwise in immaterial
-22-
respects, (b) provide for rental rates comparable to then existing local market rates and terms and conditions that constitute good and prudent business practice, comply with rent stabilization/control laws (if applicable) and are consistent with prevailing market terms and conditions, (c) be for a term of not more than three (3) years, and (d) be arms-length transactions. Mortgagee’s consent shall not be required for any Future Lease provided that such Future Lease complies with the terms of this paragraph. Failure of Mortgagee to approve or disapprove any such any change to the Standard Lease or any Future Lease requiring such approval within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such written request and all the documents and information required to be furnished to Mortgagee with such request shall be deemed approved, provided that the written request for approval specifically mentioned the same.
(b) Mortgagor covenants and agrees that it shall not enter into any Lease affecting the lesser of (x) ten percent (10%) of the gross leaseable area of the Improvements and (y) 10,000 square feet or more of the Property or having a term of ten (10) years or more without the prior written approval of Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The request for approval of each such proposed new Lease shall be made to Mortgagee in writing and Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee (and any loan servicer specified in writing from time to time by Mortgagee): (i) such biographical and financial information about the proposed Tenant as Mortgagee may reasonably require in conjunction with its review, (ii) a copy of the proposed form of Lease and (iii) a summary of the material terms of such proposed Lease (including, without limitation, rental terms and the term of the proposed lease and any options). It is acknowledged that Mortgagee intends to include among its criteria for approval of any such proposed Lease the following: (i) such Lease shall be with a bona-fide arm’s-length Tenant; (ii) the terms of such Lease shall comply with the requirements set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) below; and (iii) such Lease shall provide that the Tenant pays for its expenses. Failure of Mortgagee to approve or disapprove any such proposed Lease within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such written request and all the documents and information required to be furnished to Mortgagee with such request shall be deemed Mortgagee’s approval of such proposed Lease, provided that the written request for approval specifically mentioned the same.
(c) Mortgagor shall not execute any Lease for all or a substantial portion of the Property, except for an actual occupancy by the Tenant, lessee or licensee thereunder, and shall at all times promptly and faithfully perform, or cause to be performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in all Leases with respect to the Property, now or hereafter existing, on the part of the landlord, lessor or licensor thereunder to be kept and performed. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee, within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request by Mortgagee to do so, but in any event by January 1 of each year, a current Rent Roll, certified by Mortgagor as being true and correct, containing the names of all Tenants with respect to the Property, the terms of their respective Leases, the spaces occupied and the rentals or fees payable thereunder and the amount of each Tenant’s security deposit. Upon receipt of a written request of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee a copy of each such Lease. Mortgagor shall not knowingly do or suffer to be done any act, or omit to take any action, that might result in a default by the landlord, lessor or licensor under any such Lease or allow the Tenant thereunder to withhold payment of rent or cancel or terminate same and shall not further assign any such Lease or any such Rents and Profits. Mortgagor, at no cost or expense to Mortgagee, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, short of termination, the performance and
-23-
observance of each and every condition and covenant of each of the parties under such Leases, and unless required by applicable legal requirements or the terms of the Lease, Mortgagor shall not anticipate, discount, release, waive, compromise or otherwise discharge any rent payable under any of the Leases. Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, materially modify any of the Leases, terminate or accept the surrender of any Leases, waive or release any other party from the performance or observance of any obligation or condition under such Leases except, with respect only to Leases affecting less than the lesser of (x) ten percent (10%) of the gross leaseable area of the Improvements and (y) 10,000 square feet and having a term of less than ten (10) years, in the normal course of business in a manner which is consistent with sound and customary leasing and management practices for similar properties in the community in which the Property is located. Mortgagor shall not permit the prepayment of any rents under any of the Leases for more than one (1) month prior to the due date thereof, except for security deposits.
(d) Each Lease executed after the date hereof affecting any of the Premises or the Improvements must provide, in a manner reasonably approved by Mortgagee, that the Lease is subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and that Tenant will recognize as its landlord, lessor or licensor, as applicable, and attorn to any person succeeding to the interest of Mortgagor upon any foreclosure of this Mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Each such Lease shall also provide that, upon request of said successor-in-interest, the Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming its attornment as provided for in this Section; provided, however, that neither Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest shall be bound by any payment of rent for more than one (1) month in advance, or any amendment or modification of said Lease made without the express written consent of Mortgagee or said successor-in-interest.
6.3 Alienation and Further Encumbrances.
(a) Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has relied upon the principals of Mortgagor and their experience in owning and operating the Property and properties similar to the Property in connection with the closing of the loan evidenced by the Note. Accordingly, except as specifically allowed hereinbelow in this Section and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 16.4 hereof, in the event that the Property or any part thereof or direct or indirect interest therein shall be sold, conveyed, disposed of, alienated, hypothecated, leased (except to Tenants of space in the Improvements in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof), assigned, pledged, mortgaged, further encumbered or otherwise transferred or Mortgagor shall be divested of its title to the Property or any interest therein, in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee being first obtained, which consent may be withheld in Mortgagee’s sole discretion, then the same shall constitute an Event of Default and Mortgagee shall have the right, at its option, to declare any or all of the Debt, irrespective of the maturity date specified in the Note, immediately due and payable and to otherwise exercise any of its other rights and remedies contained in Article XV hereof. For the purposes of this Section, each of the following shall be deemed to be a transfer of an interest in the Property: (i) in the event either Mortgagor or any of its shareholders, partners or members is a corporation or trust, the direct or indirect sale, conveyance, transfer, disposition, alienation, hypothecation or encumbering of more than 49% (in one or more related transactions) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Mortgagor or any of its shareholders, partners or members or of the beneficial interest of such trust (or the issuance of new shares of capital stock of any of them (in one or a series of transactions) such that, after giving effect to such issuance and any prior issuance, no more than forty-nine percent (49%) in the aggregate of the outstanding capital stock of Mortgagor or any of its shareholders, partners or
-24-
members is owned by any person or entity and their affiliates unless such person or entity and their affiliates owned more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the outstanding capital stock of Mortgagor or such shareholder, partner or member as of the date hereof); and (ii) in the event Mortgagor or any partner or member of Mortgagor is an individual or an entity other than a corporation or trust, a direct or indirect change in the ownership interests in Mortgagor or any partner, any joint venturer or any member, either voluntarily, involuntarily or otherwise, or the direct or indirect sale, conveyance, transfer, disposition, alienation, hypothecation or encumbering of all or any portion of the interests of Mortgagor or of any such partner, joint venturer or member in Mortgagor or of such partner or member (whether in the form of a beneficial, membership or partnership interest or in the form of a power of direction, control or management, or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (i) up to (but not more than) 49% of the limited partner or non-managing member interests in Mortgagor (but not interests in a general partner or managing member) shall be transferable and/or issuable without Mortgagee’s consent so long as, after giving effect to such transfer or issuance and any prior transfers or issuances, no more than forty-nine percent (49%) in the aggregate of such limited partner or non-managing member interests in such Mortgagor are owned by any person or entity and their affiliates unless such person or entity and their affiliates owned more than a forty-nine percent (49%) limited partner or non-managing member interest in such Mortgagor as of the date hereof, (ii) any involuntary transfer caused by the death of any partner, shareholder, joint venturer or member of any Mortgagor or beneficial owner of a trust shall not be an Event of Default under this Mortgage so long as such Mortgagor is promptly reconstituted, if required, following such death and so long as those persons responsible for the management of the Property and such Mortgagor remain unchanged as a result of such death or any replacement management is approved by Mortgagee, and (iii) gifts for estate planning purposes of any individual’s interests in any Mortgagor or in any of any Mortgagor’s partners, members or joint venturers to the spouse or any lineal descendant of such individual, or to a trust for the benefit of such spouse or lineal descendant, shall not be an Event of Default under this Mortgage so long as such Mortgagor is promptly reconstituted, if required, following such gift and so long as those persons responsible for the management of the Property and such Mortgagor remain unchanged following such gift or any replacement management is approved by Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Mortgagor’s request for consent within forty-five (45) days of Mortgagee’s receipt of such written request) to a sale, conveyance or transfer of the Property in its entirety (hereinafter, “Sale”) to any person or entity provided that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:
1. No Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents which has not been waived;
-25-
2. Mortgagor gives Mortgagee written notice of the terms of such prospective Sale not less than forty-five (45) days before the date on which such Sale is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, gives Mortgagee all such information concerning the proposed transferee of the Property (hereinafter, “Buyer”) as Mortgagee would require in evaluating an initial extension of credit to a borrower and pays to Mortgagee a non-refundable application fee in the amount of $5,000. Mortgagee shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed Buyer. In determining whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed Buyer, Mortgagee shall consider the Buyer’s experience and track record in owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, the Buyer’s financial strength, the Buyer’s general business standing and the Buyer’s relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders and other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Mortgagee’s agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based on what Mortgagee determines to be commercially reasonable in Mortgagee’s sole discretion and, if given, may be given subject to such reasonable conditions as Mortgagee may deem appropriate;
3. Mortgagor pays Mortgagee, concurrently with the closing of such Sale, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the Sale, plus an amount equal to an assumption fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note for the first transfer and one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note for each subsequent transfer;
4. The Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Mortgagee, such documents and agreements as Mortgagee shall reasonably require in connection with the Sale, including, but not limited to, an assumption agreement, financing statements, and guaranties or indemnities, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee; provided, however, that such documents and agreements shall include certifications from Mortgagee as to (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Note, (ii) no Event of Default having occurred under any of the Loan Documents, (iii) the current balance of each Reserve, (iv) the interest rate of the Note and (v) the Maturity Date of the Note. The Buyer shall also deliver to Mortgagee such insurance policies and other documents and certificates as the Mortgagee may reasonably require. Mortgagee may require certain documents, including but not limited to, a non-consolidation opinion in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee and any applicable rating agency.
5. Mortgagee receives confirmation in writing from the applicable rating agencies that rate the securities issued with respect to a securitization of the Loan to the effect that the transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially assigned or to be assigned to the securities so issued.
6. Such Sale occurs no sooner than the earlier of (i) six (6) months after the date hereof or (ii) the day after the securitization of the Loan.
7. Buyer binds itself to representations and covenants substantially similar to those made by the Mortgagor in Section 10.4 of this Mortgage.
-26-
(c) Such Sale shall not be construed so as to relieve Mortgagor of any personal liability under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such Sale, whether or not same is discovered prior or subsequent to the closing of such Sale. Mortgagor and Indemnitor shall be fully released from and relieved of any personal liability under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising after the closing of such Sale which are not caused by or arising out of any acts or events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such Sale.
(d) Indemnitor shall be fully released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, upon the acceptance by Mortgagee of a guarantor or indemnitor reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee under replacement guaranty or indemnity agreements executed by such guarantor or indemnitor in connection with such sale reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee.
6.4 Easements and Rights-of-Way. Mortgagor shall not grant any easement or right-of-way with respect to all or any portion of the Premises or the Improvements without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The purchaser at any foreclosure sale hereunder may, at its discretion, disaffirm any easement or right-of-way granted in violation of any of the provisions of this Mortgage and may take immediate possession of the Property free from, and despite the terms of, such grant of easement or right-of-way. If Mortgagee consents to the grant of an easement or right-of-way, Mortgagee agrees to grant such consent without charge to Mortgagor other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Mortgagee in the review of Mortgagor’s request and in the preparation of documents effecting the subordination.
ARTICLE VII
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
7.1 Management. The management of the Property shall be by either: (a) Mortgagor or an entity affiliated with Mortgagor approved by Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, for so long as Mortgagor or said affiliated entity is managing the Property in a first class manner pursuant to the terms of that certain Property Management Agreement dated as of September 1, 2004, by and between the Property Manager and Mortgagor (as the same may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively, the “Property Management Agreement”): or (b) a professional property management company approved by Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (Empirian Property Management, Inc. (the “Property Manager”) shall be deemed an approved management company). Such management by an affiliated entity or a professional property management company shall be pursuant to a written agreement approved by Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prompt written notice of the occurrence of a default under any management contract then in effect. In no event shall any manager be
-27-
removed or replaced or the terms of any management agreement be materially modified or amended without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. After an Event of Default or a default under any management contract then in effect, which default is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, Mortgagee shall have the right to terminate, or to direct Mortgagor to terminate, such management contract upon thirty (30) days’ written notice and to retain, or to direct Mortgagor to retain, a new management agent approved by Mortgagee. All Rents and Profits generated by or derived from the Property shall first be utilized solely for current expenses directly attributable to the ownership and operation of the Property, including, without limitation, current expenses relating to Mortgagor’s liabilities and obligations with respect to this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and none of the Rents and Profits generated by or derived from the Property shall be diverted by Mortgagor and utilized for any other purposes unless all such current expenses attributable to the ownership and operation of the Property have been fully paid and satisfied. The management fee due under any management agreement shall not exceed three percent (3%) of effective gross income.
ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 Indemnification; Subrogation.
(a) Mortgagor shall indemnify, defend and hold Mortgagee harmless from and against: (i) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made relating to the Property or the Debt and (ii) any and all liability, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses (including Mortgagee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the Debt, this Mortgage and any other Loan Document, the Property, or any part thereof, or the exercise by Mortgagee of any rights or remedies granted to it under this Mortgage; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Mortgagor to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Mortgagee from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses to the extent enacted against, imposed on or incurred by Mortgagee solely by reason of Mortgagee’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Mortgagor hereby indemnifies and holds Mortgagee harmless from and against all loss, cost and expenses with respect to any Event of Default hereof, any liens (i.e., judgments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens, or otherwise), charges and encumbrances filed against the Property, and from any claims and demands for damages or injury, including claims for property damage, personal injury or wrongful death, arising out of or in connection with any accident or fire or other casualty on the Premises or the Improvements or any nuisance made or suffered thereon, except to the extent due solely to Mortgagee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, in any case, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses as aforesaid, whether at pretrial, trial or appellate level, and such indemnity shall survive payment in full of the Debt.

FURTHER ASSURANCES
11.1 Defense of Title. If the title to the Property or the interest of Mortgagee therein shall be directly or indirectly endangered, clouded or adversely affected in any manner, Mortgagor, at Mortgagor’s expense, shall take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of said title or interest, including the employment of counsel reasonably approved by Mortgagee, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of claims made against
-45-
said title or interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Mortgagee reasonably determines that Mortgagor is not adequately performing its obligations under this Section, Mortgagee may, without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, take such steps with respect thereto as Mortgagee shall deem necessary or proper and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee until actually paid by Mortgagor, shall be paid by Mortgagor within twenty (20) days of receipt of written demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.
11.2 Performance of Obligations. Mortgagor shall pay when due the principal of and the interest on the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note and this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall also pay all reasonable charges, fees and other sums required to be paid by Mortgagor as provided in the Loan Documents, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and shall observe, perform and discharge all obligations, covenants and agreements to be observed, performed or discharged by Mortgagor set forth in the Loan Documents in accordance with their terms. Further, Mortgagor shall promptly and strictly perform and comply with all covenants, conditions, obligations and prohibitions required of Mortgagor in connection with any other document or instrument affecting title to the Property, or any part thereof, regardless of whether such document or instrument is superior or subordinate to this Mortgage.
11.3 Construction Liens. Mortgagor shall pay when due all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or materials delivered for the Premises or the Improvements; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall have the right to contest in good faith any such claim or demand, so long as it does so diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Mortgagee and provided that neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result of such proceeding or contest. In the event Mortgagor shall contest any such claim or demand, Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of such contest and thereafter shall, upon Mortgagee’s written request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other security reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee to protect Mortgagee’s interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful or bond any lien arising from such claim in a manner sufficient to discharge the lien of record. If Mortgagor shall fail to immediately discharge or provide security against any such claim or demand as aforesaid, Mortgagee may do so and any and all expenses incurred by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee until actually paid by Mortgagor, shall be paid by Mortgagor within five (5) days of receipt of written demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.
11.4 Further Documentation. Mortgagor shall, on receipt of written request of Mortgagee and at the expense of Mortgagor: (a) promptly correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in the contents of this Mortgage or in the contents of any of the other Loan Documents; (b) promptly execute, acknowledge, deliver and record or file such further instruments (including, without limitation, further mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements and assignments of rents or leases) and promptly do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and to subject to
-46-
the liens and security interests hereof and thereof any property intended by the terms hereof and thereof to be covered hereby and thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements or appurtenances to the Property; (c) promptly execute, acknowledge, deliver, procure and record or file any document or instrument (including specifically, without limitation, any financing statement) deemed advisable by Mortgagee to protect, continue or perfect the liens or the security interests hereunder against the rights or interests of third persons; and (d) promptly furnish to Mortgagee, upon receipt of Mortgagee’s written request, a duly acknowledged written statement and estoppel certificate addressed to such party or parties as directed by Mortgagee and in form and substance supplied by Mortgagee, setting forth all amounts due under the Note, stating whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder, stating whether to its knowledge any offsets or defenses exist against the Debt and containing such other matters as Mortgagee may reasonably require.
11.5 Payment of Costs; Mortgagee’s Right to Cure. Mortgagor shall pay all costs and expenses of every character reasonably incurred in connection with the closing of the loan evidenced by the Note and secured hereby or otherwise attributable or chargeable to Mortgagor as the owner of the Property, including, without limitation, appraisal fees, recording fees, documentary, stamp, mortgage or intangible taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, title policy premiums and title search fees, uniform commercial code/tax lien/litigation search fees, escrow fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. If Mortgagor defaults in any such payment, which default is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, Mortgagee may, at its option pay the same and Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee within fifteen (15) days of written demand for all such costs and expenses incurred or paid by Mortgagee, together with such interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date of Mortgagee’s making such payment until reimbursement thereof by Mortgagor. Any such sums disbursed by Mortgagee, together with such interest thereon, shall be additional indebtedness of Mortgagor secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Further, Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any litigation or threatened litigation affecting the Property, or any other demand or claim which, if enforced, could impair or threaten to impair Mortgagee’s security hereunder. Without limiting or waiving any other rights and remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, if Mortgagor fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Mortgage or in any of the other Loan Documents and such failure is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, or if any action or proceeding of any kind (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other debtor relief proceeding) is commenced which might affect Mortgagee’s interest in the Property or Mortgagee’s right to enforce its security, then Mortgagee may, at its option, with or without notice to Mortgagor, make any appearances, disburse any sums and take any actions as may be reasonable, necessary or appropriate to protect or enforce the security of this Mortgage or to remedy the failure of Mortgagor to perform its covenants and agreements (without, however, waiving any default of Mortgagor). Mortgagor agrees to pay within five (5) days of receipt of written demand all expenses of Mortgagee incurred with respect to the foregoing (including, but not limited to, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date on which Mortgagee incurs such expenses until reimbursement thereof by Mortgagor. Any such expenses so incurred by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon as provided above, shall be additional indebtedness of Mortgagor secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. The necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid shall be
-47-
determined by Mortgagee in its sole, good faith discretion. Mortgagee is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Property or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Mortgagor or any person in possession holding under Mortgagor, subject to the rights of tenants under leases. Mortgagor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section 11.5 shall be exercisable by Mortgagee, and any and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, within five (5) days of receipt of written demand, immediately repaid by Mortgagor with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, notwithstanding the fact that such remedies were exercised and such payments made and costs incurred by Mortgagee after the filing by Mortgagor of a voluntary case or the filing against Mortgagor of an involuntary case pursuant to or within the meaning of the Title II, United States Code, as amended, or after any similar action pursuant to any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable to Mortgagor, Mortgagee, any Indemnitor, the Debt or any of the Loan Documents.
11.6 Compliance with Laws. Mortgagor shall at all times comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances, regulations and other governmental or quasi-governmental requirements and private covenants now or hereafter relating to the ownership, construction, use or operation of the Property, including, but not limited to, those concerning employment and compensation of persons engaged in operation and maintenance of the Property, the ADA, Executive Order Number 13224 dated September 24, 2001, the USA Patriot Act dated October 26, 2001, the Trading with the Enemy Act, any anti-money laundering laws and any environmental or ecological requirements, even if such compliance shall require structural changes to the Property; provided, however, that, Mortgagor may, upon providing Mortgagee with security satisfactory to Mortgagee, proceed diligently and in good faith to contest the validity or applicability of any such statute, ordinance, regulation or requirement so long as during such contest the Property shall not be subject to any lien, charge, fine or other liability and shall not be in danger of being forfeited, lost or closed. Mortgagor shall not use or occupy, or allow the use or occupancy of, the Property in any manner which violates any Lease of or any other agreement applicable to the Property or any applicable law, rule, regulation or order or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto.
11.7 Attorney-in-Fact Provisions. With respect to any provision of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document whereby Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee a power-of-attorney, (i) such power shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall not be revocable by Mortgagor so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Mortgagor and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Mortgagor subsequent to the date hereof and (ii) provided no Event of Default has occurred under this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall first give Mortgagor written notice at least three (3) days prior to acting under such power, which notice shall demand that Mortgagor first take the proposed action within such period and advising Mortgagor that if it fails to do so, Mortgagee will so act under the power; provided, however, that, in the event that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and not been waived, or if necessary to prevent imminent death, serious injury, damage, loss, forfeiture or diminution in value to the Property or any surrounding property or to prevent any adverse affect on Mortgagee’s interest in the Property, Mortgagee may act immediately and without first giving such notice. In such event, Mortgagee will give Mortgagor notice of such action as soon thereafter as reasonably practical.

ARTICLE XII
PAYMENT; DEFEASANCE; PREPAYMENT
12.1 Payment of the Notes. Mortgagor shall duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid, the principal of and the interest and premium, if any, on the Note in accordance with the respective terms hereof and thereof, without demand therefor or presentation of the Note, in lawful money of the United States of America.
12.2 Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed hereunder and under the Note based on the actual number of days in a 360 day year. Interest due and payable for a period less than a full month shall be calculated by multiplying the actual number of days elapsed in such period by a daily rate based on said 360 day year. Interest shall accrue from the date on which funds are advanced under the Note (regardless of the time of day) through and including the day on which funds are credited in accordance with the terms of the Note.
12.3 Application of Payments. So long as no Event of Default exists hereunder which has not been waived, each Monthly Payment shall be applied, first, to any amounts hereafter advanced by Mortgagee under any Loan Document, second, to any late fees and other amounts payable to Mortgagee, third, to the payment of accrued interest and last to reduction of principal.
12.4 Prepayment.
(a) The Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part at the option of the Mortgagor except as provided in Section 12.5 below. In addition, provided no Event of Default has occurred, Mortgagor may prepay the entire principal balance of this Mortgage and any other amounts outstanding under the Note or any other Loan Documents, without premium, on any business day (provided that if such business day is not a Payment Date, Mortgagor must additionally pay the interest accruing for the full month related to the date on which such payment is made) within three months prior to the Maturity Date.
(b) Partial prepayments of the Note shall not be permitted, except for partial prepayments resulting from Mortgagee’s election to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Note as provided in Section 3.1(b) hereof, in which event no prepayment fee or premium shall be due unless, at the time of either Mortgagee’s receipt of such proceeds or the application of such proceeds to the outstanding principal balance of the Note, an Event of Default shall have occurred and continue and not been waived, in which case, the provisions of Section 15.2 hereof shall be controlling.
(c) If the indebtedness evidenced by the Note shall have been declared due and payable by Mortgagee pursuant to the terms thereof or the terms hereof or the provisions of any other Loan Document due to an Event of Default by Mortgagor, then there shall also then be immediately due and payable, a prepayment fee (the “Premium”) in an amount equal to the
-49-
greater of the greater of (i) the Yield Maintenance Amount (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) five percent (5%) of the unpaid principal balance of the Note at the time of such prepayment (the “Tender Date”). The term “Yield Maintenance Amount” shall mean the present value, as of the Tender Date, of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest from the Tender Date through the Maturity Date (including any balloon payment) determined by discounting such payments at the Discount Rate (hereinafter defined), less the amount of principal being prepaid. The term “Discount Rate” shall mean the rate which, when compounded monthly, is equivalent to the Treasury Rate (hereinafter defined) when compounded semi-annually. The term “Treasury Rate” shall mean the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest Rates under the heading U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities for the week ending prior to the Tender Date, of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one shorter) most nearly approximating the Maturity Date. (In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Mortgagee shall select a comparable publication to determine the Treasury Rate.) Mortgagee shall notify Mortgagor of the amount and the basis of determination of the required Premium. In the event that any prepayment fee is due hereunder, Mortgagee shall deliver to Mortgagor a statement setting forth the amount and determination of the prepayment fee, and provided that Mortgagee shall have in good faith applied the formula described above, Mortgagor shall not have the right to challenge the calculation or the method of calculation set forth in any such statement in the absence of manifest error.
12.5 Defeasance. Notwithstanding any provision of this Mortgage to the contrary, at any time after the date which (A) is two (2) years after the “startup day,” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time or any successor statute (the “Code”), of a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” (“REMIC”) within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code, that holds the Note and this Mortgage or (B) three (3) years after the date hereof, whichever shall earlier occur, and provided no Event of Default has occurred, Mortgagor may cause the release of the Property from the lien of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
A. not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice shall be given to Mortgagee specifying a Payment Date (the “Release Date”) on which the Defeasance Collateral is to be delivered;
B. all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums then due under this Mortgage, the Note and under the other Loan Documents up to the Release Date, including, without limitation, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Mortgagee or its agents in connection with such release (including, without limitation, the review of the proposed Defeasance Collateral and the preparation of the Defeasance Security Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and related documentation), shall be paid in full on or prior to the Release Date; and
C. Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee on or prior to the Release Date:
(i) a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee in its sole but reasonable discretion, creating a first priority security interest in favor of Mortgagee in the Defeasance Collateral (the “Defeasance
-50-
Security Agreement”), which shall provide, among other things, that any payments generated by the Defeasance Collateral shall be paid directly to Mortgagee and applied by Mortgagee in satisfaction of all amounts then due and payable hereunder and any excess received by Mortgagee from the Defeasance Collateral over the amounts payable by Mortgagor hereunder or under the Note shall be refunded to Mortgagor promptly after each Payment Date;
(ii) either (x) direct, non-callable obligations of the United States of America or (y) non-callable obligations, other than U.S. Treasury Obligations, that are “government securities” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(8) of the Treasury Regulations, as amended, or Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Act of 1940, that are acceptable to each applicable rating agency, in each case, and that provide for payments prior, but as close as possible, to all successive Payment Dates occurring after the Release Date through and including the Maturity Date, with each such payment being equal to or greater than the amount of the corresponding installment of principal and interest required to be paid under the Note (provided that for all purposes of this Section 12.5(C)(2), all principal, accrued interest and other amounts payable under this Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date) (the “Defeasance Collateral”), each of which shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Mortgagee or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee in its sole but reasonable discretion (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be required by the depository institution holding such securities or the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to perfect upon the delivery of the Defeasance Security Agreement the first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral in favor of Mortgagee in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing granting of such security interests;
(iii) a certificate of Mortgagor certifying that all of the requirements set forth in this Section 12.5 have been satisfied;
(iv) an opinion of counsel for Mortgagor in form and substance and delivered by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee in its sole but reasonable discretion stating, among other things, that (x) Mortgagee has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral and that the Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against Mortgagor in accordance with its terms and (y) that any trust formed as a REMIC pursuant to a securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC as a result of such defeasance
(v) a letter or other written evidence from any applicable rating agency that the defeasance will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the ratings assigned to any certificates issued in connection with a securitization of the Property, if applicable;
(vi) a certificate in form and scope reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee in its sole discretion from a nationally recognized accounting firm or other independent
-51-
certified public accountant satisfactory to Mortgagor that the Defeasance Collateral will generate amounts sufficient to make all payments of principal and interest due under the Note (including the scheduled payment of principal and interest due on the Maturity Date); and
(vii) such other certificates, documents or instruments as Mortgagee may reasonably require.
Upon compliance with the requirements of this Section 12.5, the Property shall be released from the lien of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and the Defeasance Collateral shall constitute collateral which shall secure the Note and all other obligations under the Loan Documents. Mortgagee will, at Mortgagor’s expense, execute and deliver any agreements reasonably requested by Mortgagor to release the lien of this Mortgage from the Property. Upon the release of the Property in accordance with this Section 12.5, Mortgagor shall assign all its obligations and rights under the Note, together with the pledged Defeasance Collateral, to a successor entity approved by Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion (the “Successor Mortgagor”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Mortgagee shall have the right to establish or designate the Successor Mortgagor and to purchase, or cause to be purchased, the Defeasance Collateral (the “Defeasance Rights and Obligations”), which rights may be exercised in Mortgagee’s sole discretion and shall be retained by the Mortgagee named herein notwithstanding the transfer or securitization of the Loan. The Successor Mortgagor shall execute an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee in its sole discretion pursuant to which it shall assume Mortgagor’s obligations under the Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement. As conditions to such assignment and assumption, Mortgagor shall (x) deliver to Mortgagee an opinion of counsel in form and substance and delivered by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee in its sole discretion stating, among other things, that such assumption agreement is enforceable against Mortgagor and the Successor Mortgagor in accordance with its terms and that the Note, the Defeasance Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as so assumed, are enforceable against such successor entity in accordance with their respective terms, and (y) pay all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee or its agents in connection with such assignment and assumption (including, without limitation, the review of the proposed transferee and the preparation of the assumption agreement and related documentation). Upon such assumption, Mortgagor shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and under the Defeasance Security Agreement. In addition, Indemnitor shall be fully released from and relieved of any personal liability under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising after the closing of such assumption which are not caused by or arising out of any acts or events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such assumption.
Mortgagee has entered into an agreement with Defeasance Holding Company, LLC (“CDHC”) pursuant to which Mortgagee has assigned to CDHC the Defeasance Rights and Obligations. Mortgagor hereby acknowledges the transfer to CDHC of the Defeasance Rights and Obligations and releases Mortgagee from any liability for actions or inactions of CDHC related to the Defeasance Rights and Obligations.

It is hereby agreed that to the extent permitted by law, all of the foregoing property is to be deemed and held to be a part of and affixed to the Premises and the Improvements. The foregoing security interest shall also cover Mortgagor’s leasehold interest in any of the foregoing property which is leased by Mortgagor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of the foregoing property shall be owned by Mortgagor and no leasing or installment sales or other financing or title retention agreement in connection therewith shall be permitted without the prior written approval of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall, from time to time upon the reasonable written request of Mortgagee, supply Mortgagee with a current inventory of all of the property in which Mortgagee is granted a security interest hereunder, in such detail as Mortgagee may reasonably require. Mortgagor shall promptly replace all of the Collateral subject to the lien or security interest of this Mortgage when worn or obsolete with Collateral comparable to the worn out or obsolete Collateral when new and will not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, remove from the Premises or the Improvements any of the Collateral subject to the lien or security interest of this Mortgage except such as is replaced by an article of equal suitability and value as above provided, owned by Mortgagor free and clear of any lien or security interest except that created by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. All of the Collateral shall be kept at the location of the Premises except as otherwise required by the terms of the Loan Documents. Mortgagor shall not use any of the Collateral in violation of any applicable statute, ordinance or insurance policy.
13.2 Security Agreement. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral in which Mortgagee is granted a security interest hereunder, and, cumulative of all other rights and remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, Mortgagee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code. Mortgagor hereby agrees to execute and deliver on demand and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Mortgagee the attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor to execute and deliver and, if appropriate, to file with the appropriate filing officer or office, such security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements or other instruments as Mortgagee may request or require in order to impose, perfect or continue the perfection of the lien or security interest created hereby. To the extent specifically provided herein, Mortgagee shall have the right of possession of all cash, securities, instruments, negotiable instruments, documents, certificates and any other evidences of cash or other property or evidences of rights to cash rather than property, which are now or hereafter a part of the Property, and Mortgagor shall promptly deliver the same to Mortgagee, endorsed to Mortgagee, without further notice from Mortgagee. Mortgagor agrees to furnish Mortgagee in writing with

REMEDIES
15.1 Remedies Available. If there shall occur an Event of Default under this Mortgage, then this Mortgage is subject to foreclosure as provided by law and Mortgagee may, at its option and by or through a trustee, nominee, assignee or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses, either successively or concurrently:
(a) Acceleration. Accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any or all of the Debt to be immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest,
-57-
notice or action of any kind whatever (each of which is hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable. Upon any such acceleration, payment of such accelerated amount shall constitute a prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and any applicable prepayment fee provided for in the Note shall then be immediately due and payable.
(b) Entry on the Property. Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon and take possession of the Property, or any part thereof, without force or with such force as is permitted by law and without notice or process or with such notice or process as is required by law, unless such notice and process is waivable, in which case Mortgagor hereby waives such notice and process, and do any and all acts and perform any and all work which may be desirable or necessary in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment to complete any unfinished construction on the Premises, to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Property, to increase the income therefrom, to manage and operate the Property or to protect the security hereof, and all reasonable out-of-pocket sums expended by Mortgagee therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, shall be immediately due and payable to Mortgagee by Mortgagor on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.
(c) Collect Rents and Profits. With or without taking possession of the Property, xxx or otherwise collect the Rents and Profits, including those past due and unpaid.
(d) Appointment of Receiver. Upon, or at any time prior or after, initiating the exercise of any power of sale instituting any judicial foreclosure or instituting any other foreclosure of the liens and security interests provided for herein or any other legal proceedings hereunder, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property as a matter of strict right and without notice to Mortgagor and without regard to the adequacy of the Property for the repayment of the Debt or the solvency of Mortgagor or any person or persons liable for the payment of the Debt, and Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment, waive any and all notices of and defenses to such appointment and agree not to oppose any application therefor by Mortgagee, but nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Mortgagee of any other right, remedy or privilege Mortgagee may now have under the law to have a receiver appointed, provided, however, that the appointment of such receiver, trustee or other appointee by virtue of any court order, statute or regulation shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Mortgagee to receive payment of the Rents and Profits pursuant to other terms and provisions hereof. Any such receiver shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including, without limitation, the full power to hold, develop, rent, lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use of the Property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances as more fully set forth in Section 15.3 below. Such receivership shall, at the option of Mortgagee, continue until full payment of all of the Debt or until title to the Property shall have passed by foreclosure sale under this Mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
(e) Foreclosure. Immediately commence an action to foreclose this Mortgage or to specifically enforce its provisions with respect to any of the Debt, pursuant to the statutes in
-58-
such case made and provided, and sell the Property or cause the Property to be sold in accordance with the requirements and procedures provided by said statutes in a single parcel or in several parcels at the option of Mortgagee. In the event foreclosure proceedings are instituted by Mortgagee, all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incident to such proceedings, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be paid by Mortgagor and secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. The Debt and all other obligations secured by this Mortgage, including, without limitation, interest at the Default Interest Rate any prepayment charge, fee or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay principal (to the extent permitted by applicable law), reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other amounts due and unpaid to Mortgagee under the Loan Documents, may be bid by Mortgagee in the event of a foreclosure sale hereunder. In the event of a judicial sale pursuant to a foreclosure decree, it is understood and agreed that Mortgagee or its assigns may become the purchaser of the Property or any part thereof.
(f) Judicial Remedies. Proceed by suit or suits, at law or in equity, instituted by or on behalf of Mortgagee, to enforce the payment of the Debt or the other obligations of Mortgagor hereunder or pursuant to the Loan Documents, to foreclose the liens and security interests of this Mortgage as against all or any part of the Property, and to have all or any part of the Property sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. This remedy shall be cumulative of any other non-judicial remedies available to Mortgagee with respect to the Loan Documents. Proceeding with the request or receiving a judgment for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an election of remedies or bar any available non-judicial remedy of Mortgagee.
(g) Power of Sale. In addition to the remedies in this Section 15.1, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee may (and is hereby authorized and empowered to) foreclose this Mortgage by action or advertisement (at Mortgagee’s option), pursuant to the statutes of the State of Minnesota in such case made and provided, power being expressly granted to sell the Property at public auction and convey the same to the purchaser in fee simple in one parcel or separate lots and parcels and, out of the proceeds arising from such sale Mortgagee is authorized and empowered to retain the principal and interest due on the Note and the indebtedness secured hereby, together with all such sums of money as Mortgagee shall have expended or advanced pursuant to this Mortgage or pursuant to statute, with interest thereon and herein provided, and all costs and expenses of such foreclosure including the maximum attorneys’ fees permitted by law, which costs, charges and fees the Mortgagor agrees to pay, with the balance, if any, to be paid to the persons entitled thereto by law.
(h) Other. Exercise any other right or remedy available hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity.
15.2 Application of Proceeds. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the proceeds of any sale under this Mortgage shall be applied, to the extent funds are so available, to the following items in such order as Mortgagee in its discretion may determine:
(a) To payment of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees of taking possession of the Property, and of holding, operating, maintaining, using, leasing, repairing, improving, marketing and selling the same and of otherwise enforcing Mortgagee’s

Any such Tenant or third party is hereby irrevocably authorized to rely upon and comply with (and shall be fully protected by Mortgagor in so doing) any request, notice or demand by Mortgagee for the payment to Mortgagee of any Rents and Profits or other sums which may be or thereafter become due under its lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, or for the performance of any undertakings under any such lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, and shall have no right or duty to inquire whether any Event of Default under this Mortgage or under any of the other Loan Documents has actually occurred or is then existing.

15.4 Occupancy After Foreclosure. In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale, Mortgagor or Mortgagor’s representatives, successors or assigns, or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Mortgagor (except Tenants under Leases entered into prior to the date hereof), are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, then, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each and all shall, at the option of Mortgagee or the purchaser at such sale, as the case may be, immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will of either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the higher of either (i) any rate provided in a lease then in effect with Mortgagor or, if none exists, then (ii) the value of the Property occupied or used, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of the Property upon the termination of such tenancy, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for unlawful detainer of the Property in the appropriate court of the county in which the Premises is located.

If more than one person or entity is the “Mortgagor” hereunder, each is jointly and severally liable to perform the obligations of Mortgagor hereunder and all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Mortgagor hereunder are joint and several.
16.5 Severability. A determination that any provision of this Mortgage is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision, and any determination that the application of any provision of this Mortgage to any person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to any other persons or circumstances.
16.6 Gender. Within this Mortgage, words of any gender shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular shall be held and construed to include the plural, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.
16.7 Waiver; Discontinuance of Proceedings. Mortgagee may waive any single Event of Default by Mortgagor hereunder without waiving any other prior or subsequent Event of Default. No waiver of an Event of Default shall be valid for any purpose hereunder unless given in writing by Mortgagee. Mortgagee may cure any Event of Default by Mortgagor hereunder without waiving the Event of Default remedied. Neither the failure by Mortgagee to exercise, nor the delay by Mortgagee in exercising, any right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default by Mortgagor hereunder shall be construed as a waiver of such Event of Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Mortgagee of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Mortgagor or Mortgagee therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Mortgagor or Mortgagee, as the case may be, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. No notice to nor demand on Mortgagor in any case shall of itself entitle Mortgagor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Acceptance by Mortgagee of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any of the Debt shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way affect the existence of an Event of Default. In case Mortgagee shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Mortgagee shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Debt, the Loan Documents, the Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Mortgagee shall continue as if the same had never been invoked.

16.22 Maximum Interest. The provisions of this Mortgage and of all agreements between Mortgagor and Mortgagee, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid (“Interest”) to Mortgagee for the use, forbearance or retention of the money loaned under the Note exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Mortgagee shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance owing under the Note in the inverse order of its maturity (whether or not then due) or, at the option of Mortgagee, be paid over to Mortgagor, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest (including any amounts or payments deemed to be Interest) paid or agreed to be paid to Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal balance of the Note so that the Interest thereon for such full period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This Section will control all agreements between Mortgagor and Mortgagee.
