ARTICLE 4
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES
4.1 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. All of Mortgagor's right, title and interest
in and to the Rents are hereby absolutely and irrevocably assigned to Mortgagee
as additional security for the Indebtedness and the Obligations. Mortgagor
hereby appoints Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with the right,
at Mortgagee's option at any time, to demand, receive and enforce payment of, to
give receipts, releases and satisfactions for, and to xxx, either in Mortgagor's
or Mortgagee's name for, all Rents. Notwithstanding the foregoing Assignment, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred which remains uncured, Mortgagor may
collect, receive, take, use and enjoy such Rents, as they become due and payable
but not more than one month in advance thereof. The foregoing assignment shall
be fully operative without any further action on the part of either party; and
specifically Mortgagee shall be entitled at its option, upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, to collect all Rents from the Mortgaged Property whether or
not Mortgagee takes possession of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor hereby
authorizes and directs all lessees of the Mortgaged Property to deliver all
Rents to Mortgagee. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the
permission hereby given to Mortgagor to collect the Rents from the Mortgaged
Property shall terminate. The permission given by Mortgagee to Mortgagor shall
be reinstated upon the cure of such Event of Default with Mortgagee's specific
consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. This Assignment shall not be
deemed or construed to constitute Mortgagee as a mortgagee-in-possession nor
obligate Mortgagee to take any action or to incur expense or perform or
discharge any obligation, duty or liability. Exercise of any rights under this
SECTION 4.1 and the application of the Rents to the Indebtedness or the
Obligations shall not cure or waive any Event of Default but shall be cumulative
of all other rights and remedies of Mortgagee. If Mortgagee receives any Rents
after the reinstatement of such permission, so long as no Default has occurred
and is continuing hereunder, Mortgagee will pay such Rents over to Mortgagor.
Mortgagee shall not be required to give any credit against the Indebtedness or
the Obligations for Rents due Mortgagee under this Assignment until Rents are
actually paid to Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an
absolute assignment is not enforceable then this Assignment shall be construed
as a collateral assignment as further security
8
for the performance of the Indebtedness and Obligations. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document to the contrary, all Rents
collected by Mortgagee or a receiver of the Mortgaged Property appointed
pursuant to SECTION 8.1(e) of this Mortgage shall be applied as provided in
SECTION 4.6 of this Mortgage.
4.2 ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND CONTRACTS. Mortgagor hereby assigns to
Mortgagee all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all Contracts and
Leases, together with all security therefor and all monies payable thereunder as
additional security for the Indebtedness and the Obligations, subject, however,
to the conditional permission given to Mortgagor above to collect Rents as
provided in SECTION 4.1 above. The foregoing assignment of any Contract or Lease
shall not be deemed to impose upon Mortgagee any of the obligations or duties of
Mortgagor provided in any such Contract or Lease; and Mortgagor agrees to fully
perform all of its obligations thereunder. Upon Mortgagee's request, Mortgagor
shall deliver to any new lessee under a Lease, a notice of this assignment in
form satisfactory to Mortgagee in its sole discretion. Mortgagee may deliver
such a notice to new lessees if Mortgagor fails to do so within a reasonable
time after Mortgagee's request. From time to time, upon request of Mortgagee,
Mortgagor shall specifically assign to Mortgagee, by an assignment in writing in
form approved by Mortgagee, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to
any and all Leases, together with all security therefor and all monies payable
thereunder, subject to the conditional permission given to Mortgagor above to
collect and use Rents. Mortgagor shall from time to time within fifteen (15)
days after request by Mortgagee, execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument
as Mortgagee may request to further evidence the assignment and transfer to
Mortgagee of Mortgagor's interest in any Contract or Lease.
4.3 EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENTS. This instrument constitutes an absolute and
present assignment of the rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income and
other benefits from the Mortgaged Property; subject, however, to, the
conditional permission given to Mortgagor to collect, receive, take, use and
enjoy the same as provided above; provided, further, that the existence or
exercise of such right of Mortgagor shall not operate to subordinate this
assignment to any subsequent assignment by Mortgagor, in whole or in part, and
any such subsequent assignment by Mortgagor shall be subject to the rights of
Mortgagee hereunder.
4.4 NO MERGER OF LEASEHOLD ESTATES. If both the lessor's and lessee's
estate under any Lease, or any portion thereof, becomes vested at any time in
one owner, this Mortgage and the lien created hereby shall not be adversely
affected by the application of the doctrine of merger unless Mortgagee so elects
in writing by recording a written declaration so stating. Unless and until
Mortgagee so elects, Mortgagee and any lessor and lessee shall continue to have
and enjoy all of the rights and privileges to the separate estates. In addition,
upon the foreclosure of the lien created by this Mortgage on the Mortgaged
Property, any Leases then existing and affecting all or any portion of the
Mortgaged Property shall not be destroyed or terminated by merger or by the
foreclosure unless Mortgagee or any purchaser at the sale so elects. No act by
or on behalf of Mortgagee or such purchaser shall constitute a termination of
any Lease unless Mortgagee gives written notice thereof to the tenant or
subtenant affected.
9
4.5 ASSIGNMENT TO MORTGAGEE CONTROLLING. The rights of Mortgagee in the
Leases and Rents created under Article 2 shall be subject to the rights of
Mortgagee in the Leases and Rents created under this Article 4.
4.6 APPLICATION OF RENTS. All Rents collected by Mortgagee or a
receiver appointed pursuant to SECTION 8.1(e) of this Mortgage shall be applied
as follows:
(a) to payment of all reasonable fees of the receiver approved by
the court;
(b) to payment of all tenant security deposits then owing to
tenants under any of the Leases pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes
Section 504.20;
(c) to payment of all prior or current real estate taxes and
special assessments with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or if this Mortgage
or any other Loan Document requires periodic escrow payments for such taxes and
assessments, to the escrow payments then due;
(d) to payment of all premiums then due for the insurance
required by this Mortgage, or if this Mortgage or any other Loan Document
requires periodic escrow payments for such premiums, to the escrow payments then
due;
(e) to payment of expenses incurred for normal maintenance of the
Mortgaged Property;
(f) if received prior to any foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged
Property pursuant to this Mortgage, to the Mortgagee for payment of the
Indebtedness, but no such payment made after acceleration of the Indebtedness
shall affect such acceleration;
(g) if received during or with respect to the period of
redemption after a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this
Mortgage:
(i) if the purchaser at the foreclosure sale is not
Mortgagee, first to Mortgagee to the extent of any deficiency of the sale
proceeds to repay the Indebtedness, second to the purchaser as a credit to the
redemption price, but if the Mortgaged Property is not redeemed, then to the
purchaser of the Mortgaged Property;
(ii) if the purchaser at the foreclosure sale is Mortgagee,
to Mortgagee to the extent of any deficiency of the sale proceeds to repay the
Indebtedness and the balance to be retained by Mortgagee as a credit to the
redemption price, but if the Mortgaged Property is not redeemed, then to
Mortgagee, whether or not any such deficiency exists.
The rights and powers of Mortgagee and receivers under this Mortgage and the
application of Rents under this Section shall continue until expiration of the
redemption period from any foreclosure sale, whether or not any deficiency
remains after a foreclosure sale.

such bills, statements or other documents, and provided that Mortgagor has
timely deposited sufficient funds with Mortgagee pursuant to this SECTION 5.3,
Mortgagee shall pay such amounts as may be due thereunder out of the funds so
deposited with Mortgagee. If at any time and for any reason the funds deposited
with Mortgagee are or will be insufficient to pay such amounts as may then or
subsequently be due, Mortgagee shall notify Mortgagor and Mortgagor shall
immediately deposit an amount equal to any such deficiency with Mortgagee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall cause Mortgagee to
be deemed a trustee of said funds or to be obligated to pay any amounts in
excess of the amount of funds deposited with Mortgagee pursuant to this SECTION
5.3 plus interest accrued thereon. All funds deposited with Mortgagee hereunder
may be commingled with any other sums held by Mortgagee. Should Mortgagor fail
to deposit with Mortgagee (exclusive of that portion of said payments which has
been applied by Mortgagee to
the principal of or interest on the Indebtedness) sums sufficient to fully pay
such Impositions at least thirty (30) days before delinquency thereof, Mortgagee
may, at Mortgagee's election, but without any obligation to do so, advance any
amounts required to make up the deficiency, which advances, if any, shall be
secured hereby and shall be repayable to Mortgagee as herein elsewhere provided,
or at the option of Mortgagee, the latter may, without making any advance
whatever, apply any sums held by it upon any obligation of Mortgagor secured
hereby. All amounts so deposited shall be held by Mortgagee as additional
security for the sums secured by this Mortgage and upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default hereunder Mortgagee may, in its sole and absolute discretion
and without regard to the adequacy of its security hereunder, apply such amounts
or any portion thereof to any part of the Indebtedness secured hereby. Any such
application of said amounts or any portion thereof to any indebtedness secured
hereby shall not be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default
hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such default or notice.
Upon full payment of the Indebtedness, or, at the election of Mortgagee at any
prior time, the balance of such amounts shall be paid over to Mortgagor and no
other party shall have any right or claim thereto. The receipt, use or
application of any such sums paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee hereunder shall not
be construed to affect the maturity of any Indebtedness or any of the rights or
powers of Mortgagee or Mortgagor under the terms of the Note Purchase Documents
or any of the Obligations. Upon assignment of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall
have the right to pay over the balance of any such sums paid by Mortgagor to
Mortgagee hereunder then in Mortgagee's possession to the assignee hereof and
Mortgagee shall thereupon be completely released from all liability with respect
to such amounts. Without limiting any of Mortgagor's obligations under this
SECTION 5.3, Mortgagor shall have the right to contest any such Imposition prior
to payment so long as (i) Mortgagor contests such Imposition in good faith, (ii)
Mortgagor sends advance written notice to Mortgagee that Mortgagor is contesting
such Imposition, (iii) Mortgagor posts a bond with a party acceptable to
Mortgagee which is sufficient to pay the Imposition or otherwise secures the
Mortgagee against collection of the same against the Mortgaged Property, and
(iv) such contest does not impair the Mortgaged Property in any manner.
5.4 REPAIR AND ALTERATIONS.
(a) Mortgagor will keep the Mortgaged Property in first-class
order and condition for properties of like kind and make all necessary or
appropriate repairs, replacements and renewals thereof and will prevent any act
or thing which might impair the value or usefulness of the Mortgaged Property.
(b) Mortgagor will not commit or knowingly permit any physical
waste of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or make or permit to be
made any alterations or additions to the Mortgaged Property which would have the
effect of materially diminishing the value thereof, or make or permit to be made
any other alterations or additions to the Mortgaged Property of a material
nature, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
(c) Mortgagor will not permit any of the Fixtures or Personalty
to be removed at any time from the Land and/or Buildings, without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee, unless obsolete and of no utility or actually
replaced by an article of equal suitability and value
12
and owned by Mortgagor free and clear of any lien or security interest except
such as may be approved in writing by Mortgagee.
5.5 INSURANCE.
(a) Mortgagor will purchase and maintain property insurance on
the Mortgaged Property protecting against such hazards, casualties and
contingencies as are usually covered by all-risk property policies including,
but not limited to, fire and windstorms. In addition, Mortgagor shall purchase
and maintain property insurance for earthquake, flood and such other risks as
may be specified by Mortgagee. All such policies shall be in effect in the
locality where the Mortgaged Property is situated, and shall be in amounts
acceptable to Mortgagee, but in any event not less than the full insurable value
of the Buildings, Fixtures and Personalty on a replacement cost basis. All such
policies shall include riders for increased replacement cost due to inflation
and changes in building codes and ordinances, as well as business interruption
insurance covering the loss of Rents for a period of not less than one year. All
such policies shall be issued by insurers acceptable to Mortgagee, but in any
event having a Best's Insurance Rating of A-/XI or better (unless otherwise
approved by Agent). All such policies shall include a mortgagee clause or loss
payee endorsement for the benefit of Mortgagee. Unless agreed to in writing by
Mortgagee, no coinsurance clauses shall be called for in any such policies and
no such policies shall provide for a primary deductible or retention greater
than $10,000 (except with respect to property insurance for earthquake,
hurricane or named windstorm, or flood, in which case the deductible or
retention shall be no greater that an amount approved by Mortgagee in its
reasonable discretion). All such policies shall contain endorsements providing
for breach of warranty (if the policy includes any warranties), adjustment of
value for inflation, increased costs of construction and demolition, and such
other conditions as may be required by Mortgagee. All such policies shall be
endorsed with form 438BFUNS, or a similar endorsement acceptable to Mortgagee,
showing Mortgagee as a mortgagee and loss payee as its interests may appear,
such loss payments to be applied in accordance with SECTION 5.6 below.
(b) Mortgagor shall also maintain Commercial General Liability
Insurance and Excess/Umbrella Liability Insurance which shall respond to
third-party claims involving bodily injury, property damage and personal injury
arising out of Mortgagor's alleged negligence. Such policies shall contain
endorsements naming Mortgagee as an additional insured under the policies as its
interest may appear. Such policies shall provide such combined limits of
coverage as Mortgagee shall specify, but in any event not less than Five Million
and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) per occurrence Twenty Million and No/100
Dollars ($20,000,000.00) in the aggregate (including umbrella coverage) as to
liability for bodily injury, property damage and personal injury. Unless
otherwise approved by Mortgagee in its sole and absolute discretion, no primary
deductible or retention shall be called for in the Commercial General Liability
policy. All such policies shall be endorsed to be primary and non-contributory
to any insurance carried by Mortgagee. In addition, Mortgagor shall cause the
Mortgagee to be named as an additional insured on any excess or umbrella policy
purchased by Mortgagor (or shall provide evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee in
its sole and absolute discretion that coverage is provided to Mortgagee on a
"following form basis").
13
(c) Mortgagor shall cause the policies evidencing all insurance
referred to in this SECTION 5.5 (and the insurer(s) issuing such policies) to
certify to Mortgagee that: (i) the interest of Mortgagee shall be insured
regardless of any breach or violation by Mortgagor of any warranties,
declarations or conditions in such policy (or, if such policies does not contain
warranties, declarations or conditions, such policy shall include an inadvertent
failure to disclose endorsement); (ii) if any such insurance policy is subject
to cancellation, termination or being endorsed to effect a change in coverage
for any reason whatsoever, the insurer under such policy shall promptly notify
Mortgagee in writing and such cancellation, termination or change shall not be
effective as to Mortgagee until thirty (30) days after receipt by Mortgagee of
such notice (unless such cancellation is for non-payment, in which case such
insurer shall be obligated to provide Mortgagee with not less than ten (10) days
written notice); and (iii) Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, make
premium payments to prevent such cancellation, and that such payments shall be
accepted by such insurer. Concurrently with the execution of this Mortgage and
from time to time thereafter upon request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall furnish
to Mortgagee (A) certificates of insurance acceptable to Mortgagee prepared by
Mortgagor's insurance agent or broker which evidence that Mortgagor has obtained
and is maintaining the insurance policies and endorsements required hereunder,
and (B) receipts or other evidence acceptable to Mortgagee in its sole and
absolute discretion that the premiums for such policies have been paid in full.
Additionally, Mortgagor shall, upon request, furnish to Mortgagee duplicate
executed copies of each such policy or renewal policy. Without limiting the
foregoing, within sixty (60) days after the close of each fiscal year of
Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee a statement in form and
substance satisfactory to Mortgagee setting forth the amounts of insurance
maintained in compliance with this SECTION 5.5, the risks covered by such
insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance,
which statement shall be accompanied by copies of all certificates of insurance
evidencing the required coverages and endorsements.
5.6 RESTORATION FOLLOWING CASUALTY.
(a) After the happening of any casualty to the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof, Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Mortgagee. In the event of any damage or destruction of all or any part of the
Mortgaged Property, all proceeds of insurance shall be payable to Mortgagee, and
Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance company to make
payment of such proceeds directly to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall obtain
Mortgagee's approval prior to any settlement, adjustment or compromise of any
claims for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of
insurance, and Mortgagee shall have the right to participate with Mortgagor in
negotiation of any such settlement, adjustment or compromise. Mortgagee shall
also have the right to appear with Mortgagor in any action against an insurer
based on a claim for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of
insurance.
(b) All compensation, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance
recoveries, rights of action and payments which Mortgagor may receive or to
which Mortgagor may become entitled with respect to the Mortgaged Property or
any part thereof as a result of any casualty, except as set forth below in this
SECTION 5.6 (herein the "PROCEEDS"), shall be paid over to
14
Mortgagee and shall be applied first toward reimbursement of all costs and
expenses of Mortgagee in connection with recovery of the same, and then, except
as set forth below in this SECTION 5.6, shall be applied in the sole and
absolute discretion of Mortgagee, without regard to the adequacy of Mortgagee's
security hereunder, to the payment or prepayment of the Indebtedness (without
any prepayment premium) in such order as Mortgagee may determine, and any
amounts so applied shall reduce the Indebtedness pro tanto. Any application of
the Proceeds or any portion thereof to the Indebtedness shall not be construed
to cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any
act done pursuant to any such default or notice.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
SECTION 5.6, in the event that the Proceeds payable with respect to any casualty
shall be less than or equal to $150,000.00, then Mortgagor shall have the right
to settle the insurance claim, and the right to retain the Proceeds, so long as
Mortgagor shall restore the Mortgaged Property to its condition prior to such
casualty, in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with any applicable
legal requirements and the requirements of any lease, free and clear of liens,
and shall remit to Mortgagee promptly upon completion of such restoration any
remaining balance of such Proceeds not used in the restoration of the Mortgaged
Property for application to the principal of the Indebtedness.
(d) Subject to the other provisions of this SECTION 5.6, and if
all of the following apply: (i) the Proceeds have been deposited with Mortgagee;
(ii) in the case of insurance proceeds, the insurance carrier has not denied
liability to a named insured; (iii) Mortgagee shall have been furnished with an
estimate of the cost of restoration accompanied by an architect's certificate as
to such costs and appropriate final plans and specifications for reconstruction
of the Buildings, all of which shall be approved by Mortgagee; (iv) the
Buildings so restored or rebuilt shall be of at least equal value and
substantially the same character as prior to the damage or destruction and
appropriate for the purposes for which they were originally erected; (v)
Mortgagor shall have furnished Mortgagee with evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee
that all Buildings so restored and/or reconstructed and their use fully comply
with all zoning and building laws, ordinances and regulations, and with all
other applicable federal, state, and municipal laws and requirements; (vi) to
the extent that the estimated cost of restoration exceeds the Proceeds
available, Mortgagor shall have furnished a satisfactory bond of completion or
deposited with Mortgagee such sums as may be necessary to pay such excess costs;
(vii) Mortgagee shall have received notice within thirty (30) days of the fire
or other hazard or of the condemnation proceedings specifying the date of such
fire or other hazard or the date the notice of condemnation proceedings was
received and the request to Mortgagee to make said Proceeds available to
Mortgagor; (viii) the aggregate monthly net income under all Leases, together
with the proceeds of any business interruption insurance with respect thereto,
shall be sufficient to pay during the period of reconstruction the monthly
installments required to be paid upon the Indebtedness as well as all impound
payments which may be required under SECTION 5.3 for taxes and insurance, and
following reconstruction shall be sufficient to pay the aforesaid sums as well
as all other operating costs and charges of the Mortgaged Property; (ix) all
Leases described in (viii) above shall be in full force and effect as evidenced
by estoppel certificates satisfactory to Mortgagee; (x) Mortgagor shall not then
be in default under the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan
Instruments, and (xi) Mortgagee determines in its sole and
15
absolute discretion that such restoration or reconstruction can be completed at
least three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date; then the Proceeds, less the
actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with adjustment
of loss and Mortgagee's administrative expenses relating to such loss and the
disbursement of the Proceeds shall be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of all
the costs of the aforesaid restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or
alterations, including the cost of temporary repairs or for the protection of
property pending the completion of permanent restoration, repairs, replacements,
rebuilding or alterations (all of which temporary repairs, protection of
property and permanent restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or
alterations are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "RESTORATION"), and
shall be paid out from time to time as such Restoration progresses upon the
written request of Mortgagor if the work for which payment is requested has been
done in a good and workmanlike manner and substantially in accordance with the
plans and specifications therefor. Each request shall be accompanied by the
following:
(i) A certificate signed by Mortgagor, dated not more than thirty
(30) days prior to such request, setting forth the following:
(A) That the sum then requested either has been paid, or is
justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers,
architects or other persons who have rendered services or furnished
materials for the restoration therein specified or have paid for the
same, the names and addresses of such persons, a brief description of
such services and materials, the several amounts so paid or due to
each of said persons in respect thereof (together with supporting
statements and invoices for the same), that no part of such
expenditures has been or is being made the basis of any previous or
then pending request for the withdrawal of Proceeds or has been made
out of any of the Proceeds received by Mortgagor, and that the sum
then requested does not exceed the value of the services and
materials described in the certificate.
(B) That, except for the amount, if any, stated pursuant to
the foregoing subclause (i)(A) in such certificate to be due for
services or materials, there is no outstanding indebtedness known to
the persons signing such certificate, after due inquiry, which is
then due for labor, wages, materials, supplies or services in
connection with such Restoration.
(C) That the costs, as estimated by the persons signing such
certificate, of the Restoration required to be done subsequent to the
date of such certificate in order to complete and pay for the same,
do not exceed the Proceeds, plus any amount or security approved by
Mortgagee and deposited by Mortgagor to defray such costs and
remaining in the hands of Mortgagee after payment of the sum
requested in such certificate.
(ii) A title insurance report or other evidence satisfactory to
Mortgagee to the effect that there has not been filed with respect to the
Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, any vendor's, contractor's, mechanics',
laborer's, materialmen's' or other lien which has
16
not been discharged of record or bonded, except such as will be disbursed by
payment of the amount then requested.
(iii) A certificate signed by the architect and/or engineer
in charge of the Restoration, who shall be selected by Mortgagor and approved in
writing by Mortgagee, certifying to the facts set forth in subclause (i) above,
and that the Restoration is proceeding in accordance with the plans and
specifications approved by Mortgagee and in accordance with all zoning,
subdivision and other governmental laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. Upon
compliance with the foregoing provisions, Mortgagee shall, out of Proceeds (and
the amount of security approved by Mortgagee, if any, deposited by Mortgagor to
defray the costs of the Restoration), pay or cause to be paid to Mortgagor or
the persons named (pursuant to subclause (i)(A) above) in such certificate the
respective amounts stated therein to have been paid by Mortgagor or to be due to
them, as the case may be.
(e) If the Proceeds at the time held by Mortgagee, less the
actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the
adjustment of the loss and Mortgagee's administrative expenses relating to such
loss and the disbursement of the Proceeds, shall be, in Mortgagee's sole and
absolute judgment, insufficient to pay the entire cost of the Restoration,
Mortgagor shall deposit with Mortgagee any such deficiency prior to disbursement
of any additional portion of the Proceeds.
(f) No payment made prior to the final completion of the
Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed
from time to time, and at all times the undisbursed balance of said Proceeds
remaining in the hands of Mortgagee shall be at least sufficient to pay for the
cost of completion of the Restoration free and clear of liens.
(g) Final payment shall be made upon delivery of an architect's
certificate and certification by one of Mortgagee's appraisers as to completion
in accordance with the final plans and specifications and compliance with all
zoning, building, subdivision and other governmental laws, ordinances, rules,
and regulations, and the expiration of the period provided under applicable law
for the filing of mechanic's and materialmen's' liens. Mortgagee may at its
option require an endorsement to Mortgagee's policy of title insurance insuring
the continued priority of the lien of this Mortgage as to all sums advanced
hereunder, such endorsement to be in form and substance satisfactory to
Mortgagee and paid for by Mortgagor.
(h) Upon completion of the Restoration in a good and workmanlike
manner in accordance herewith, and provided that Mortgagee has received
satisfactory evidence that the Restoration has been paid for in full and the
Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all liens, any balance of the Proceeds
at the time held by Mortgagee (after reimbursement to Mortgagee of all costs and
expenses of Mortgagee, including administrative expenses, in connection with
recovery of the same and disbursement of such Proceeds for the Restoration), if
any, shall be applied as follows: (i) to the extent that such balance of the
Proceeds is equal to or less than the amount, if any, by which the value of the
Mortgaged Property prior to such damage or destruction exceeds the value of the
Mortgaged Property after such Restoration (for these purposes, the value of the
Mortgaged Property shall be determined by Mortgagee in its discretion), then the
portion of the
17
balance of the Proceeds equal to such excess amount shall be applied to the
payment or prepayment (without any prepayment premium) of the principal balance
of the Indebtedness in such order as Mortgagee may determine, and any amounts so
applied shall reduce the Indebtedness pro tanto; and (ii) to the extent that the
balance of the Proceeds exceeds such excess amount, such portion of the balance
of the Proceeds shall be paid to Mortgagor.
(i) Mortgagee shall cause Proceeds held by it pursuant to this
SECTION 5.6 to be maintained in one or more interest-bearing accounts in
accordance with Mortgagee's customary practices for the payment of interest on
account balances, including, without limitation, minimum balance requirements.
(j) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Mortgagor
from repairing or maintaining the Mortgaged Property as provided in SECTION 5.4
hereof or restoring all damage or destruction to the Mortgaged Property,
regardless of whether or not there are insurance proceeds available or whether
any such proceeds are sufficient in amount, and the application or release by
Mortgagee of any insurance proceeds shall not cure or waive any Default or
notice of Default under this Mortgage or invalidate any other act done by
Mortgagee to exercise its remedies hereunder.
5.7 PERFORMANCE OF LEASES AND OTHER CONTRACTS.
(a) All Leases entered into by Mortgagor after the date hereof
shall be on Mortgagor's standard form lease which form has been approved in
advance and in writing by Mortgagee and any such Lease that contains negotiated
provisions which are materially different from those of the standard form shall
be subject to Mortgagee's prior written consent. Any new Lease shall be subject
to the prior written approval of Mortgagee in its good faith discretion if (i)
such Lease is for more than 10,000 square feet, (ii) such Lease is at less than
market rates or (iii) Mortgagor desires to utilize any funds from the Tenant
Improvement Reserve Account to pay the costs of any tenant improvements or other
landlord work to be performed by Mortgagor under such Lease. In the event that
Mortgagee fails to approve or disapprove, in writing, any new Lease within ten
(10) business days of delivery by Mortgagor of a request for approval thereof
(together with such information and materials concerning Mortgagor's request as
Mortgagee may reasonably request), Mortgagee shall be deemed to have granted its
approval thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee's approval shall not
be required with respect to the extension or renewal of a Lease pursuant to the
terms of extension or renewal options contained within such Lease as of the date
hereof. Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee
(such consent to be granted or withheld in Mortgagee's good faith discretion),
accept surrender of, terminate, modify, amend or renew any Lease that demises
more than 2,500 square feet or any group of Leases which, in the aggregate
during any twelve-month period, demise more than 15,000 square feet; provided,
however, that Mortgagor may modify, amend or renew any Lease so long as such
modification, amendment or renewal does not materially increase the obligations
of the landlord, decrease the obligations of the tenant or alter the material
economic terms of such Lease (including, without limitation, the amount of the
rent payable under, and the term of, such Lease). Upon the request of Mortgagee,
all tenants under new Leases shall execute an agreement, in form satisfactory to
Mortgagee, subordinating such Leases to the lien of this
18
Mortgage and attorning to Mortgagee in the event of foreclosure of this
Mortgage. Mortgagor shall duly and punctually perform all material covenants and
agreements expressed as binding upon it under the Leases and Contracts, or any
part thereof, and will use its diligent good faith efforts to enforce or secure
the performance of each and every obligation and undertaking of the respective
parties under the Leases and Contracts, and will appear and defend, at its cost
and expense, any action or proceeding arising under or in any manner connected
with (1) the Leases or the obligations and undertakings of any lessee or other
party thereunder and (2) the Contracts or the obligations and undertakings of
any party thereunder.
(b) Mortgagor shall duly and punctually perform, observe and
comply with all of the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants and agreements
on its part to be performed, observed and complied with hereunder and under the
(i) Note Purchase Documents, (ii) the Permitted Encumbrances, and (iii) all
future agreements entered into by Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgaged
Property, and Mortgagor will not suffer or permit any default or Event of
Default (giving effect to any applicable notice requirements and cure periods)
to exist under any of the foregoing.
5.8 PAYMENT OF RENTS. Mortgagor hereby agrees that the respective
lessees under the Leases, upon notice from Mortgagee of the occurrence of an
Event of Default, shall thereafter pay to Mortgagee the Rents due and to become
due under the Leases without any obligation to determine whether an Event of
Default in fact exists.
5.9 INSPECTION; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Mortgagor will permit Mortgagee,
at its expense, at all reasonable times and with reasonable notice, to conduct
inspections of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to enter onto the Mortgaged Property, at its expense, at all
reasonable times and upon reasonable notice (except in the case of an
emergency), to inspect the Mortgaged Property for the existence of Hazardous
Materials on the Mortgaged Property and to determine the compliance of the
Mortgaged Property and its use with any law, rule or regulation relating to
industrial hygiene or environmental conditions, including soil and ground water
conditions and the compliance of Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property with the
conditions and covenants set forth herein with respect to Hazardous Materials.
Mortgagor and Mortgagee each will, from time to time, upon twenty (20) day,
prior written request by the other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the requesting party, in the case of a request to Mortgagee, a certificate
signed by an authorized officer or officers and in the case of a request to
Mortgagor, an Officer's Certificate, stating that this Mortgage is unmodified
and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this
Mortgage is in full force and effect as modified and setting forth such
modifications) and stating the amount of accrued and unpaid interest and the
outstanding principal amount of the Note. The estoppel certificate from
Mortgagor shall also state either that, to Mortgagor's best knowledge and based
on no independent investigation, no Default exists hereunder or, if any Event of
Default shall exist hereunder, specify any Event of Default of which Mortgagor
has actual knowledge and the steps being taken to cure such Event of Default.
5.10 HOLD HARMLESS. Mortgagor will defend and hold Mortgagee harmless
from any action, proceeding or claim affecting the Mortgaged Property, the
Security Documents or the
19
Guaranty to the extent such action, proceeding or claim arose prior to or during
Mortgagor's ownership of the Mortgaged Property and to the extent such action,
proceeding or claim did not result primarily from Mortgagee's gross negligence
or willful wrongdoing. Mortgagor shall appear in and defend (or pay the
reasonable expenses of Mortgagee to defend, if Mortgagee gives Mortgagor notice
of its election to handle such defense) any action or proceeding purporting to
affect the security of this Mortgage and/or the rights and/or powers of
Mortgagee hereunder, and Mortgagor shall pay all costs and expenses (including
costs of evidence of title and reasonable attorneys' fees) in any action or
proceeding in which Mortgagee may so appear and/or any suit by Mortgagee to
foreclose this Mortgage, to enforce any obligations secured by this Mortgage,
and/or to prevent the breach hereof. Mortgagor's obligations under this SECTION
5.10 shall survive payment of the Indebtedness and the release of the lien
granted herein.
5.11 AWARDS. Mortgagor will file and prosecute its claim or claims for
any Awards in good faith and with due diligence and cause the same to be
collected and paid over to Mortgagee, and hereby irrevocably authorizes and
empowers Mortgagee, if Mortgagee so desires, to file such claim and collect any
Awards and agrees that the proceeds of any Awards will be applied by Mortgagee
in reduction of any portion of the Indebtedness as Mortgagee may determine in
accordance with Article 9 hereof.
5.12 LICENSES. Mortgagor shall keep in full force and effect all
licenses, permits and other governmental approvals which are necessary for the
operation of the Mortgaged Property and related facilities, furnish evidence
satisfactory to Mortgagee that the Mortgaged Property and the use thereof comply
with all applicable zoning and building laws, regulations, ordinances and other
applicable laws, regulations and ordinances. Without limiting the foregoing,
Mortgagor shall not transfer or permit the transfer of any licenses, permits and
other governmental approvals which are necessary for the operation of the
Mortgaged Property and related facilities, without the prior written approval of
Mortgagee, which approval may be withheld in Mortgagee's good faith discretion.
5.13 JUNIOR FINANCING. Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written
consent of Mortgagee, such consent to be made in Mortgagee's sole determination,
incur any additional indebtedness or create or permit to be created or to
remain, any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge on, or conditional
sale or other title retention agreement with respect to, the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof or income therefrom, other than the Security Documents, and
the Permitted Encumbrances.
5.14 MECHANIC'S LIEN. Mortgagor shall not permit or suffer any
mechanics', materialmen's or other lien to be created or to remain a lien upon
any of the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, Mortgagor shall have the right
to contest any such lien prior to payment so long as (i) Mortgagor contests such
lien in good faith, (ii) Mortgagor sends advance written notice to Mortgagee
that Mortgagor is contesting such lien, (iii) Mortgagor posts a bond or other
security acceptable to Mortgagee with a party acceptable to Mortgagee which is
sufficient to pay the indebtedness secured by such lien, and (iv) such contest
does not impair the Mortgaged Property.
20
5.15 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
(a) Without limiting the generality of SECTION 5.2 hereof,
Mortgagor shall keep and maintain the Mortgaged Property in compliance with, and
shall not cause or permit the Mortgaged Property to be in violation of any
Environmental Laws. Except for materials (other than asbestos) (i) used or
stored at the Mortgaged Property in the Ordinary Course Business and in
compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations (including, without
limitation, Environmental Laws), (ii) with respect to which no Release at, in,
on, under, over, from or affecting the Mortgage Property or any adjacent
property has occurred, and (iii) that do not create (and are not known to pose)
a health, safety or environmental hazard, Mortgagor shall not manufacture,
generate or store any Hazardous Materials at, in, on, under, over, from or
affecting the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall not permit any Release of any
Hazardous Materials at, in, on, under, over, from or affecting the Mortgaged
Property. Without Mortgagee's prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except in case of emergency
involving imminent threat to persons or property, Mortgagor shall take no
remedial action with respect to any Hazardous Materials at, in, on, under, over,
from or affecting the Mortgaged Property, and shall not enter into any
settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise or agreement related to
any such Hazardous Materials. Mortgagee's consent to such action shall not be
construed to mean that Mortgagee has the capacity to cause or determine the
appropriate Hazardous Materials management practices of Mortgagor but only is
intended for Mortgagee to assure that its collateral hereunder is not being
impaired.
(b) Mortgagor shall indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from
any and all claims, actions, proceedings, losses, costs, damages, liabilities,
obligations, causes of action, Diminution in Value of the Mortgaged Property (or
any portion thereof), fines, penalties and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenditures) for investigation, removal, clean-up, and

Property, which materials were present at any time during the period of
Mortgagor's ownership or occupation of the Mortgaged Property, shall remain the

place of the obligations of the Mortgagor under the Indemnity Agreement.
5.16 MANAGEMENT. The Mortgaged Property shall at all times be operated
by Property Manager pursuant to the Property Management Agreement in effect as
of the date hereof, which Mortgagee has approved. The interests of Property

provide that Mortgagee may, at its option, terminate such contract upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default.
5.17 USE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Mortgagor shall not use the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof, or allow the same to be used or occupied, for any
purpose other than for the purposes of a commercial retail use, or for any
unlawful purpose, or in violation of any certificate of occupancy or other
permit or certificate, or any law, ordinance or regulation, covering or
affecting the use or occupancy thereof. Mortgagor will not suffer any act to be
done or any condition to exist on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or
any article to be brought thereon, which may be dangerous (unless safeguarded as
required by law) or which may constitute a nuisance public or private or which
may void or make voidable any insurance then in force with respect thereto.
5.18 USE OF MORTGAGEE'S NAME. Mortgagor shall not use the names either
of Mortgagee or any of Mortgagee's subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with
the development and operation of the Mortgaged Property.
5.19 TITLE TO MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Mortgagor shall at all times maintain
good and indefeasible title in fee simple to the Land and good and marketable
title to the Buildings, Fixtures and Personalty, subject only to the Permitted

5.20 DUE ON SALE. Mortgagor acknowledges that, in making the Loan,
Mortgagee and the Holders have relied to a material extent upon the particular
business reputation, expertise, creditworthiness, and individual net worth of
Mortgagor and all of the other Persons, partnerships, trusts, corporations or
other entities who have a direct or indirect interest in Mortgagor and upon the
continuing interest which such Persons, partnerships, trusts, corporations or
other entities, as owners of direct or indirect interests in Mortgagor, will
have in the Mortgaged Properties. An Event of Default shall occur hereunder, and
Mortgagee shall have the right, in its sole option, to declare the principal and
interest under the Notes and all sums provided herein immediately due and
payable if, without the prior written consent of Agent, there is (a) directly or
indirectly, any lease of all or substantially all of the Mortgaged Property for
more than one year or any sale, transfer, assignment, agreement for deed,
conveyance, hypothecation or encumbrance (except easements and other similar
non-monetary encumbrances which do not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect on the value or use of the Mortgaged Property), whether
voluntary or involuntary, of all or part of the Mortgaged Property or any
interest therein, or (b) any sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance
of any of the corporate voting stock
22
of Managing Member or any of the membership interests in Mortgagor, or (c) a
seizure of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof or attachment of any
lien on the Mortgaged Property (other than a Permitted Lien) or any portion
thereof, whether voluntary or involuntary, which has not been removed or bonded
off to Mortgagee's sole satisfaction within sixty (60) days of such attachment,
or (d) except as expressly permitted in SECTION 6.11 of the Note Purchase
Agreement, the amendment of the Organizational Documents of Mortgagor or the
Managing Member without Mortgagee's prior written consent (each of the events

Managing Member and Non-Managing Member shall own, directly, all of the Equity
Interests in Borrower; (b) Glimcher Realty Trust shall own, directly, all of the
Equity Interests in Managing Member; and (c) Glimcher Properties Corporation
shall be and remain the sole general partner of Non-Managing Member. Consent to
a Transfer or consent to any other event requiring consent in accordance with
the foregoing may be granted or withheld in Mortgagee's sole and absolute
discretion and, if granted, shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement of
consent for subsequent Transfers. Mortgagor shall immediately give written
notice to Mortgagee of any transaction or event that might give rise to a
Transfer. Any Transfer prohibited under this SECTION 5.20 shall be deemed void
ab initio.
ARTICLE 6

Environmental Claims are hereafter asserted against Mortgagor or the Mortgaged

Environmental Laws at, in, on, under or about the Mortgaged Property, or if
Mortgagor obtains knowledge or any condition described in clause (iii) above has
occurred.

ARTICLE 7
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The term "Event(s) of Default" as used in the Security Documents, the
Guaranty and the Note, shall mean the occurrence or happening, from time to
time, of any one or more of the following:
7.1 PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS. If Mortgagor shall default in the due and
punctual payment of all or any portion of any installment of the Indebtedness as
and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at the due date thereof
or at a date fixed for prepayment or by acceleration or otherwise and such
default shall continue for a period of ten (10) days; provided
24
that failure to pay the final installment due at maturity shall immediately
constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
7.2 SPECIFIC DEFAULTS. Mortgagor fails to perform or observe any term,
covenant or agreement contained in Sections 5.5 or 5.20 hereof; or
7.3 OTHER OBLIGATIONS. Mortgagor shall fail to perform or observe any
other term or covenant contained in this Mortgage, and such default shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the date upon which
written notice thereof is given to Mortgagor by Mortgagee; provided, however, if
such default arises solely as a result of a default by Mortgagor in the
performance of a non-monetary Obligation hereunder and a cure of such default
cannot reasonably be effected within such 30-day period despite Mortgagor's
diligence in prosecuting such cure, then, provided Mortgagor commences cure
within said 30-day period and diligently prosecutes said cure to completion, the
cure period provided hereunder shall be extended to such time as may be
reasonably necessary to cure the default, which, in any event, shall not exceed
ninety (90) days from the date the default first occurred.
7.4 DEFAULT UNDER NOTE PURCHASE DOCUMENTS. If a default shall occur and
be continuing following expiration of the applicable grace or cure period under
any of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Security Documents, the Guaranty or any

REMEDIES AND FORECLOSURE
8.1 REMEDIES. If an Event of Default shall occur, Mortgagee may, at its
option, exercise one or more or all of the following remedies:
(a) ACCELERATION. Declare the unpaid portion of the Indebtedness
to be immediately due and payable, without further notice or demand (each of
which hereby is expressly waived by Mortgagor), whereupon the same shall become
immediately due and payable.
(b) ENTRY UPON MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Enter upon the Mortgaged
Property and take possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts
relating thereto.
(c) OPERATION OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Hold, lease, operate or
otherwise use or permit the use of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion
thereof, in such manner, for such time and upon such terms as Mortgagee may deem
to be in its best interest (making such repairs, alterations, additions and
improvements thereto, from time to time, as Mortgagee shall deem
25
necessary or desirable) and collect and retain all earnings, rents, profits or
other amounts payable in connection therewith.
(d) FORECLOSURE PROCEEDINGS. Institute proceedings for the
complete or partial foreclosure of this Mortgage and sale of all or any portion
of the Mortgaged Property at public auction, the power of sale being hereby
specifically granted, or take such steps to protect and enforce its rights
whether by action, suit or proceeding in equity or at law for the specific
performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in the Note Purchase
Agreement, the Note or in this Mortgage (without being required to foreclose
this Mortgage), or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for
any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal
or equitable remedy or otherwise as Mortgagee shall elect.
(e) RECEIVER. Mortgagee shall be entitled, as a matter of strict
right, without notice and ex parte, and without regard to the value or occupancy
of the security, or the solvency of the Mortgagor or of the Guarantor, or the
adequacy of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Note, to have a receiver
appointed to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, collect
the Rents and profits therefrom and apply the same in accordance with SECTION
4.6 of this Mortgage, such receiver to have all the rights and powers permitted
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
Mortgagor hereby waives any requirements on the receiver or Mortgagee to post
any surety or other bond. Mortgagee or the receiver may also take possession of,
and for these purposes use, any and all Personalty which is a part of the
Mortgaged Property and used by Mortgagor in the rental or leasing thereof, or
any part thereof. The expenses (including the receiver's fees, counsel fees,
costs and agent's compensation) incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained
shall be secured by this Mortgage. Mortgagee shall apply such Rents, issues and
profits received by it in accordance with SECTION 4.6 of this Mortgage. The
right to enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, to manage and
operate the same, and to collect the Rents, issues and profits thereof, whether
by receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy
hereunder or afforded by law, and may be exercised concurrently therewith or
independently thereof. Mortgagee shall be liable to account only for such Rents,
issues and profits actually received by Mortgagee.
(f) ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. With or without notice, and
without releasing Mortgagor from the Indebtedness or Obligations, and without
becoming a mortgagee in possession, Mortgagee shall have the right to cure any
breach or default of Mortgagor and, in connection therewith, to enter upon the
Mortgaged Property and to do such acts and things as Mortgagee deems necessary
or desirable to protect the security hereof including, but without limitation,
to appear in and defend any action or proceedings purporting to affect the
security hereof or the rights or powers of Mortgagee hereunder; to pay,
purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of lien
which, in the judgment of Mortgagee, is prior or superior hereto, the judgment
of Mortgagee being conclusive as between the parties hereto; to obtain
insurance; to pay any premiums or charges with respect to insurance required to
be carried hereunder; and to employ counsel, accountants, contractors and other
appropriate persons to assist them.
26

become the purchaser at any sale held by Mortgagee or by any court, receiver or
public officer, and Mortgagee shall have the right to credit upon the amount of
the bid made therefor, the amount of Indebtedness payable to it out of the net
proceeds of such sale. Mortgagee upon any such purchase, shall acquire good
title to the Mortgaged Property so purchased, free from the lien of this
Mortgage and free of all rights of redemption, if any, in Mortgagor. Recitals
contained in any conveyance made to any purchaser at any sale made hereunder
shall presumptively establish the truth and accuracy of the matters therein
stated, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nonpayment
of the unpaid principal sum of, and the interest accrued on, the Note after the
same have become due and payable, or advertisement and conduct of such sale in
the manner provided herein; and Mortgagor does hereby ratify and confirm any and
all acts that said Mortgagee or its successors may lawfully do in the premises
by virtue of the terms and conditions of this instrument.
(h) RECEIPT TO PURCHASER. Upon any sale, whether made under the
power of sale herein granted and conferred or by virtue of judicial proceedings,
the receipt of the Mortgagee, or of the officer making sale under judicial
proceedings, shall be sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any
sale for his or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, his or
their assigns or personal representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase
money and receiving such receipt of the Mortgagee or of such officer therefor,
be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money, or be in anywise
answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof.
(i) EFFECT OF SALE. Any sale or sales of the Mortgaged Property,
whether under the power of sale herein granted and conferred or by virtue of
judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim,
and demand whatsoever either at law or in equity, of Mortgagor of, in, and to
the premises and the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law
and in equity, against Mortgagor, Mortgagor's successors, and against any and
all persons claiming or who shall thereafter claim all or any of the property
sold from, through or under Mortgagor, or Mortgagor's successors or assigns;
nevertheless, Mortgagor, if requested by the Mortgagee so to do, shall join in
the execution and delivery of all proper conveyances, assignments and transfers
of the properties so sold.
(j) REMEDIES UNDER UCC. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Mortgagee may exercise its rights of enforcement, if they can be
exercised without a breach of the peace, with respect to the Personalty and/or
the Fixtures under the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of
the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, and/or under other applicable
law, and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights
and remedies:
(i) Mortgagee may enter upon Mortgagor's premises to take
possession of, assemble and collect the Personalty and/or Fixtures and any and
all books related to the Mortgaged Property; and
27
(ii) Mortgagee may require Mortgagor to assemble the
Personalty and/or Fixtures and make the same available at a place Mortgagee
designates which is mutually convenient to allow Mortgagee to take possession or
dispose of the Personalty and/or Fixtures; and
(iii) Written notice mailed to Mortgagor as provided herein
at least ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of the Personalty and/or
Fixtures or prior to the date after which private sale of the Personalty and/or
Fixtures will be made shall constitute reasonable notice; and
(iv) Any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this
Subsection (j) shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a
commercially reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with and upon the same
notice as required for the sale of the Mortgaged Property, whether by power of
sale herein granted and conferred or by virtue of judicial proceedings; and
(v) In the event of a foreclosure sale, whether made by the
Mortgagee under the terms hereof, or under judgment of a court, the Mortgaged
Property may, at the option of Mortgagee, be sold as a whole; and
(vi) It shall not be necessary that Mortgagee take
possession of the Personalty and/or Fixtures or any part thereof prior to the
time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this section is conducted and
it shall not be necessary that the Personalty and/or Fixtures or any part
thereof be present at the location of such sale; and
(vii) Prior to application of proceeds of disposition of the
Personalty and/or Fixtures to the Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be applied
to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease,
selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses incurred by Mortgagee; and
(viii) Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made
in any xxxx of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure
sale hereunder as to nonpayment of the Indebtedness or as to the occurrence of
any Event of Default, or as Mortgagee having declared all of such Indebtedness
to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale of the
Mortgaged Property to be sold having been duly provided by Mortgagee, shall be
taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited;
and
(ix) Mortgagee may appoint or delegate any one or more
persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale
held by Mortgagee, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale,
but in the name and on behalf of Mortgagee.
(k) ENTRY ON AND OPERATION OF PROPERTY BY MORTGAGEE. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default and in addition to all other rights herein
conferred on the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee (or any person, firm or corporation
designated by the Mortgagee) shall have the right and power, but shall not be
obligated, to enter upon and take possession of any of the Mortgaged Property,
and of all books, records, and accounts relating thereto and to exclude
Mortgagor, and
28
Mortgagor's agents or servants, wholly therefrom, and to hold, lease, operate,
use, administer, manage, and operate the same to the extent that Mortgagor shall
be at the time entitled and in his place and stead for such time, and upon such
terms as Mortgagee may deem to be in its best interest (making such repairs,
alterations, additions, and improvements thereto, from time to time, as
Mortgagee shall deem necessary or desirable) and collect and retain all
earnings, rents, profits, or other amounts payable in connection therewith. The
Mortgagee, or any person, firm or corporation designated by the Mortgagee, may
operate the same without any liability to Mortgagor in connection with such
operations, except to use ordinary care in the operation of said properties, and
the Mortgagee or any person, firm or corporation designated by them, shall have
the right to collect receive and receipt for all Rents from the Mortgaged
Property, to make repairs, purchase machinery and equipment, and to exercise
every power, right and privilege of Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged
Property. All costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by the
Mortgagee in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting or preserving the
Mortgaged Property, respectively, shall constitute a demand obligation owing by
Mortgagor to Mortgagee and shall bear interest from date of expenditure until
paid at the same rate as is provided in the Note for interest on past due
principal, all of which shall constitute a portion of the Indebtedness and shall
be secured by this Mortgage and by any other instrument securing the
Indebtedness. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, the
Mortgagee, as the case may be, may invoke any and all remedies to dispossess
Mortgagor including specifically one or more actions for forcible entry and
detainer, trespass to try title and restitution. When and if the expenses of
such operation have been paid and the Indebtedness paid, the Mortgaged Property
shall, if there has been no sale or foreclosure, be returned to Mortgagor.
(l) CHANGE IN LAWS. If any statute now applicable in any state in
which any of the Mortgaged Property is now located provides, or shall hereafter
be amended to provide, a new or different procedure for the sale of real
property under a power of sale in a mortgage, Mortgagee may, in its sole
discretion, if same be permitted by applicable law, follow the sale procedure
set forth in this Article 8 or that prescribed in such statute, as amended.
(m) OTHER. Exercise any other remedy specifically granted under
the Security Documents or the Guaranty, or now or hereafter existing in equity,
at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise, including the rights described below.
8.2 SEPARATE SALES. Any real estate or any interest or estate therein
sold pursuant to any writ of execution issued on a judgment obtained by virtue
of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage or the other Security
Documents, or pursuant to any other judicial proceedings under this Mortgage, or
pursuant to the power of sale granted herein, may be sold in one parcel, as an
entirety or in such parcels, and in such manner or order as Mortgagee, in its
sole discretion, may elect.
8.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE AND CONCURRENT. The rights and remedies of
Mortgagee as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage,
the Guaranty and in the Security Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent
and may be pursued separately, successively or together against Mortgagor or any
Guarantor or against other obligors or against the Mortgaged Property, or any
one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee, and may
29
be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. The failure to exercise
any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release
thereof, nor shall the choice of one remedy be deemed an election of remedies to
the exclusion of other remedies.
8.4 NO CURE OR WAIVER. Neither Mortgagee's nor any receiver's entry
upon and taking possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property nor any
collection of rents, issues, profits, insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds
or damages, other security or proceeds of other security, or other sums, nor the
application of any collected sum to any Indebtedness and Obligations, nor the
exercise of any other right or remedy by Mortgagee or any receiver shall impair
the status of the security, or cure or waive any default or notice of default
under this Mortgage, or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale
(unless all Indebtedness and Obligations which are then due have been paid and
performed and Mortgagor has cured all other defaults), or prejudice Mortgagee in
the exercise of any right or remedy, or be construed as an affirmation by
Mortgagee of any tenancy, lease or option or a subordination of the lien of this
Mortgage.
8.5 PAYMENT OF COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS FEES. Mortgagor agrees to
pay to Mortgagee immediately and without demand all costs and expenses incurred
by Mortgagee in exercising the remedies under the Note Purchase Agreement, the
Note, the Guaranty and the Security Documents, including but without limitation,
court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees expended or incurred by Mortgagee in
any arbitrations, judicial reference, legal action or otherwise in connection
with (a) the negotiation, preparation, amendment and enforcement of the Note
Purchase Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents, the Guaranty and the
Indemnity Agreement, including without limitation during any workout or
attempted workout, and/or in connection with the rendering of legal advice as to
Mortgagee's rights, remedies and obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement,
the Note, the Security Documents, the Guaranty or the Junior Indemnity
Agreement, (b) collecting any sum which becomes due to Mortgagee under the Note,
the Security Documents, the Guaranty or the Junior Indemnity Agreement, (c) any
proceeding for declaratory relief, any counterclaim to any proceeding or any
appeal, or (d) the protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights or
remedies of Mortgagee. All such costs and expenses shall accrue interest at the
Default Interest Rate or the highest rate permitted under applicable law from
the date of expenditure until said sums have been paid. Mortgagee shall be
entitled to bid, at the sale of the Mortgaged Property held pursuant to the
power of sale granted herein or pursuant to any judicial foreclosure of this
instrument, the amount of said costs, expenses and interest in addition to the
amount of the other Indebtedness and Obligations as a credit bid, the equivalent
of cash.
8.6 WAIVER OF REDEMPTION, NOTICE, MARSHALLING, ETC. Mortgagor hereby
waives and releases all of the following: (a) all benefit that might accrue to
Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future law exempting the Mortgaged
Property, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from
attachment, levy or sale on execution, or providing for any redemption or
extension of time for payment; (b) unless specifically required herein, all
notices of Mortgagor's default or of Mortgagee's election to exercise, or
Mortgagee's actual exercise, of any option or remedy under the Note Purchase
Agreement, the Note, the Guaranty or the Security Documents; (c) any right to
have the liens against the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral in which
30
Mortgagee holds an interest as security for the Indebtedness or Obligations
marshaled; and (d) the right to plead or assert any statute of limitations as a
defense or bar to the enforcement of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Note, the
Guaranty, the Junior Indemnity Agreement or the Security Documents.
8.7 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any sale of all or any
portion of the Mortgaged Property shall be applied by Mortgagee in the following
order:
(a) FIRST, to the payment of any fees, if any, owing under the
Note or the Security Documents, including without limitation, the Exit Fee;
(b) SECOND, to the payment of prepayment premiums, if any, owing
under the Note or the Security Documents;
(c) THIRD, to the payment of late charges, if any, owing under the
Note or the Security Documents;
(d) FOURTH, to the payment of the costs and expenses of taking
possession of the Mortgaged Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing,
improving and selling the same (including without limitation payment of any
Impositions or other taxes);
(e) FIFTH, to the extent allowed by law, to the payment of
reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, including expenses and fees
incurred on appeals, and legal expenses and fees of a receiver;
(f) SIXTH, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the
Indebtedness; and
(g) SEVENTH, to the payment of the balance of the Indebtedness.
The balance, if any, shall be paid to the parties entitled to receive it under
applicable law.
Rents and other amounts applied to Indebtedness pursuant to SECTION 4.6 shall be
applied in the order of priorities first, second, third, fifth, sixth and
seventh.
8.8 STRICT PERFORMANCE. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon strict
performance by Mortgagor or any Guarantor of any of the terms and provisions of
the Security Documents, the Guaranty, the Note Purchase Agreement or the Note
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of the
Security Documents, the Guaranty or the Note and Mortgagee shall have the right
thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Mortgagor or any Guarantor of
any and all of them.
8.9 NO CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EXERCISE OF REMEDIES. Neither Mortgagor
nor any other person now or hereafter obligated for payment of all or any part
of the Indebtedness (including the Guarantor) shall be relieved of such
obligation by reason of the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request of
Mortgagor or any Guarantor or of any other person so obligated to take action to
foreclose on this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any provisions of the
31
Security Documents, the Guaranty the Note Purchase Agreement, or the Note, or by
reason of the release, regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the
security held for the Indebtedness, or by reason of any agreement or stipulation
between any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagee extending
the time of payment or modifying the terms of the Security Documents, the Note
Purchase Agreement, or Note without first having obtained the consent of
Mortgagor, the Guarantor or such other person; and in the latter event
Mortgagor, the Guarantor and all such other persons shall continue to be liable
to make payment according to the terms of any such extension or modification
agreement, unless expressly released and discharged in writing by Mortgagee.
8.10 RELEASE OF COLLATERAL. Mortgagee may release, regardless of
consideration, any part of the security held for the Indebtedness or Obligations
without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting
the liens of the Security Documents or their priority over any subordinate lien.
Without affecting the liability of Mortgagor, any Guarantor or any other person
(except any person expressly released in writing), for payment of any
Indebtedness secured hereby or for performance of any Obligations contained
herein, and without affecting the rights of Mortgagee with respect to any
security not expressly released in writing, Mortgagee may, at any time and from
time to time, either before or after maturity of said Note, and without notice
or consent (a) release any person liable for payment of all or any part of the
Indebtedness or for performance of any Obligations, (b) make any agreement
extending the time or otherwise altering terms of payment of all or any part of
the Indebtedness, or modifying or waiving any Obligation, or subordinating,
modifying or otherwise dealing with the lien or charge hereof, (c) exercise or
refrain from exercising or waive any right Mortgagee may have, (d) accept
additional security of any kind, or (e) release or otherwise deal with any
property, real or personal, securing the Indebtedness, including all or any part
of the Mortgaged Property.
8.11 OTHER COLLATERAL. For payment of the Indebtedness, Mortgagee may
resort to any other security therefor held by Mortgagee in such order and manner
as Mortgagee may elect.
8.12 DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS. In the event Mortgagee shall have
proceeded to enforce any right under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Note, the
Guaranty or the Security Documents and such proceedings shall have been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then in every such case Mortgagor, the
Guarantor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and the
rights, remedies and powers of Mortgagee shall continue as if no such
proceedings had been taken.
8.13 RELEASE OF LIABILITY OR PERSONALTY. Without affecting the
liability of any person (other than any person released pursuant to the
provisions of this section) for payment of any Indebtedness secured hereby, and
without affecting or impairing in any way the priority or extent of the liens of
the Note Purchase Documents upon any property not specifically released pursuant
hereto, Mortgagee may at any time and from time to time (a) release any person
liable for payment of any Indebtedness secured hereby, (b) extend the time or
agree to alter the terms of payment of any of the Indebtedness, (c) accept
additional security of any kind, (d) release any property securing the
Indebtedness, or (e) consent to the creation of any easement on or over the

prepay the principal amount of the Note, in whole or in part, except as set
forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.
ARTICLE 9
CONDEMNATION
9.1 CONDEMNATION. Mortgagor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to
Mortgagee all rights of Mortgagor to any Awards in respect of (a) any taking of
all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property as a result of, or by agreement in
anticipation of, the exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain;
(b) any such taking of any appurtenances to the Mortgaged Property or of vaults,
areas or projections outside the boundaries of the Mortgaged Property, or rights
in, under or above the alleys, streets or avenues adjoining the Mortgaged
Property, or rights and benefits of light, air, view or access to said alleys,
streets, or avenues or for the taking of space or rights therein, below the
level of, or above the Mortgaged Property; and (c) any damage to the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof due to governmental action, but not resulting in, a
taking of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, such as, without limitation,
the changing of the grade of any street adjacent to the Mortgaged Property.
Mortgagor hereby agrees to file and prosecute its claim or claims for any such
Award in good faith and with due diligence and cause the same to be collected
and paid over to Mortgagee, and hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers
Mortgagee, in the name of Mortgagor or otherwise, to collect and receipt for any
such Award and, in the event Mortgagor fails to act, or in the event that an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to file and prosecute such
claim or claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the proceeds
payable with respect to any Award shall be less than or equal to $150,000, then
Mortgagor shall have the right to retain such proceeds, so long as Mortgagor
shall restore the Mortgaged Property(and the Mortgaged Property is capable of
being restored) to its condition prior to such condemnation, in a good and
workmanlike manner, in compliance with any applicable legal requirements and the
requirements of any lease, free and clear of liens, and shall remit to Mortgagee
promptly upon completion of such restoration any remaining balance of such
proceeds not used in the restoration of the Mortgaged Property for application
to the principal of the Indebtedness.
9.2 APPLICATION OF AWARDS. Subject to the provisions of SECTION 9.1
above, all proceeds received by Mortgagee with respect to a taking of all or any
part of the Mortgaged Property or with respect to damage to all or any part of
the Mortgaged Property from governmental action not resulting in a taking of the
Mortgaged Property, shall be applied as follows, in the order of priority
indicated:
(a) FIRST, to the payment of any fees, if any, owing under the
Loan Agreement, the Note or the Security Documents, including without
limitation, the Exit Fee;
(b) SECOND, to the payment of prepayment premiums, if any, owing
under the Note or the Security Documents (provided that no premium shall be due
solely on account of any prepayment pursuant to this ARTICLE 9);
33
(c) THIRD, to the payment of late charges, if any, owing under the
Note or the Security Documents;
(d) FOURTH, to the payment of the costs and expenses including
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with collecting the sale
proceeds;
(e) FIFTH, to the extent allowed by law, to the payment of
attorneys fees and other legal expenses, including expenses and fees incurred on
appeals, and legal expenses and fees of a receiver;
(f) SIXTH, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the
Indebtedness; and
(g) SEVENTH, to the payment of the balance of the Indebtedness.
The balance, if any, shall be paid to the parties entitled to receive it under
applicable law without penalty or premium.
ARTICLE 10
MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Mortgagor, upon the reasonable written request
of Mortgagee, will execute, acknowledge and deliver, or arrange for the
execution, acknowledgment and delivery of, such further instruments (including,
without limitation, financing statements, estoppel certificates and declarations
of no set-off, attornment agreements and acknowledgments of the Assignment) and
do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary, desirable or proper to
carry out more effectively the purpose of the Security Documents, to facilitate
the assignment or transfer of the Note, the Security Documents, the Indemnity
Agreement and the Guaranty and to subject to the liens of the Security Documents
any property intended by the terms thereof to be covered thereby, and any
renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements or betterments thereto. Upon
any failure of Mortgagor to execute and deliver such instruments, certificates
and other documents on or before fifteen (15) days after receipt of written
request therefor, Mortgagee may make, execute and record any and all such
instruments, and certificates and Mortgagor irrevocably appoints Mortgagee the
agent and attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor to do so.
10.2 RECORDING AND FILING. Mortgagor, at its expense, will cause the
Security Documents, all supplements thereto and any financing statements at all
times to be recorded and filed and re-recorded and re-filed in such manner and
in such places as Mortgagee shall reasonably request, and will pay all such
recording, filing, re-recording and re-filing taxes, fees and other charges.
10.3 NOTICE. Any notice, approval, demand, statement, request or
consent made hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent and be deemed given
one (1) Business Day after the date sent by Federal Express or other nationally
recognized overnight courier providing evidence of delivery addressed to the
party for whom it is intended at the Mortgagor's Address, or in the case of
notices to Mortgagee, to Mortgagee at the Mortgagee's Address. Any party may
34
designate a change of address by written notice to the other, given at least ten
(10) business days before such change of address is to become effective and
provided that such address is located within the continental United States.
Mortgagor may, from time to time, change the address to which notice of default
and notice of sale hereunder shall be sent by both recording a request therefor
and sending a copy of such request to Mortgagee.
10.4 MORTGAGEE'S RIGHT TO PERFORM THE OBLIGATIONS. If Mortgagor shall
fail to make any payment or perform any act required by the Note Purchase
Agreement, the Note or the Security Documents, then, at any time thereafter,
upon notice to Mortgagor and without waiving or releasing any obligation or
default, Mortgagee may make such payment or perform such act for the account of
and at the expense of Mortgagor, and shall have the right to enter the Mortgaged
Property for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect
to the Mortgaged Property as may be necessary or appropriate for such purpose.
All reasonable sums so paid by Mortgagee, and all costs, and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses so
incurred together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, from the
date of payment or incurring, constitute additions to the Indebtedness secured
by the Security Documents, and shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, on
demand. If Mortgagee shall elect to pay any Imposition, Mortgagee may do so in
reliance on any xxxx, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate
public office, without inquiring into the accuracy thereof or into the validity
of such Imposition. Mortgagor shall indemnify Mortgagee for all losses and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by reason of any acts
performed by Mortgagee pursuant to the provisions of this SECTION 10.4 or by
reason of the Security Documents or the Guaranty, and any funds expended by
Mortgagee to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, together with
interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date of such
expenditures, shall constitute additions to the Indebtedness and shall be
secured by the Security Documents and shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee
upon demand.
10.5 COVENANTS RUNNING WITH THE LAND. All covenants contained in the
Security Documents shall run with the Mortgaged Property until the liens and
security interest created hereby are released by Mortgagee.
10.6 SEVERABILITY. In case any one or more of the Obligations shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the Note
Purchase Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage, the Security Documents, the
Indemnity Agreement and remaining Obligations shall be in no way affected,
prejudiced or disturbed thereby.
10.7 MODIFICATION. The Security Documents and the terms of each of them
may not be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an
instrument or instruments in writing signed by the party against which
enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is asserted.
10.8 NON-ASSUMABLE. The loan evidenced by the Note and secured by this
Mortgage is personal to Mortgagor, and Mortgagee made such loan to Mortgagor,
based upon the credit of Mortgagor and the Guarantor, and Mortgagee's judgment
of the ability of Mortgagor to repay the
35
entire Indebtedness and therefore this Mortgage may not be assumed by any
subsequent holder of an interest in the Mortgaged Property without Mortgagee's
prior written consent.
10.9 TAX ON INDEBTEDNESS OR MORTGAGE. In the event of the passage,
after the date of this Mortgage, of any law deducting from the value of land for
the purposes of taxation, any lien thereon, or imposing upon Mortgagee the
obligation to pay 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 deeds of trust, mortgages or debts as to affect
this Mortgage or the Indebtedness, the entire unpaid balance of the Indebtedness
shall, at the option of Mortgagee, after ninety (90) days written notice to
Mortgagor, become due and payable without premium or penalty; provided, however,
that if, in the opinion of Mortgagee's counsel, it shall be lawful for Mortgagor
to pay such taxes, assessments, or charges or to reimburse Mortgagee therefor,
then there shall be no such acceleration of the time for payment of the unpaid
balance of the Indebtedness if a mutually satisfactory agreement for
reimbursement, in writing, is executed by Mortgagor and delivered to Mortgagee
within the aforesaid period.
10.10 MAXIMUM RATE OF INTEREST. 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 acceleration of the maturity of the Note or
otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid to Mortgagee for the use,
forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned under the Note or otherwise
or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein
or in the Note, exceed the Maximum Rate. The term "MAXIMUM RATE" as used herein
shall mean the higher of the maximum interest rate allowed by applicable United
States or New York law as amended from time to time, in effect on the date for
which a determination of interest accrued hereunder is made. If, from any
circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any such
other documents, at the time performance of such provisions shall be due, shall
involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable usury law,
the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity,
and if, from any such circumstance, Mortgagee shall have ever received interest
or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law which would
exceed the Maximum Rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be
applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Note or
the amounts owing on other obligations of Mortgagor to Mortgagee hereunder and
not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid
balance of the principal of the Note and the amounts owing on other obligations
of Mortgagor to Mortgagee hereunder as the case may be, such excess shall be
refunded to Mortgagor. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Mortgagee for the
use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness of Mortgagor to Mortgagee
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness until payment
in full so that the actual rate of interest on account of such Indebtedness does
not exceed the Maximum Rate throughout the term thereof, (ii) be characterized
as a fee, expense or other charge other than interest, and/or (iii) exclude any
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof.
10.11 SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. The warranties,
representations, covenants and agreements set forth in the Security Documents
shall survive the making of the loan and the
36
execution and delivery of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect
until the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, except such obligations as
specified in SECTIONS 5.10 and 5.15 hereof which shall survive.
10.12 APPLICABLE LAW. PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, MORTGAGOR AGREES THAT THIS MORTGAGE
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH LAWS MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER BE PREEMPTED BY
FEDERAL LAW, IN WHICH CASE SUCH FEDERAL LAW SHALL SO GOVERN AND BE CONTROLLING;
AND PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY IS
LOCATED SHALL GOVERN AS TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION, PRIORITY AND ENFORCEMENT OF
LIENS, ASSIGNMENTS AND SECURITY INTERESTS IN THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY LOCATED IN
SUCH STATE, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD, HOWEVER, THAT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY IS LOCATED, THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THE VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF ALL THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, AND THE INDEBTEDNESS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.
10.13 NO REPRESENTATIONS BY MORTGAGEE. By accepting or approving
anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to
Mortgagee, pursuant to the Security Documents, including (but not limited to)
any officer's certificate, survey, appraisal or insurance policy, Mortgagee
shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality,
effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term provision or condition
thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any
warranty or representation with respect thereto by Mortgagee.
10.14 HEADINGS. The article headings and the section and subsection
captions are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way
alter or modify the text of such articles, sections and subsections.
10.15 EXTENSION OF PRIOR LIENS. If any or all of the proceeds of the
Note have been used to pay any indebtedness heretofore existing against the
Mortgaged Property, then, to the extent of such funds so used, Mortgagee shall
be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, liens, titles and interests
heretofore existing against the Mortgaged Property to secure the indebtedness so
paid and the former rights, claims, liens, titles and interests, if any, are not
waived but rather shall continue in full force and effect in favor of Mortgagee
as cumulative security for the repayment of the Indebtedness and the
satisfactions of the Obligations regardless of whether said liens or debts are
acquired by Mortgagee by assignment or are released by the holder thereof upon
payment.
10.16 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTIES. Nothing contained in the Note
Purchase Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage or the other Security Documents or
the Junior Indemnity Agreement shall be construed as creating a joint venture or
partnership between Mortgagee and Mortgagor, and Mortgagee shall have no right
of control or supervision over Mortgagor except as
37
Mortgagee may exercise its rights and remedies under this Mortgage, the other
Security Documents and the Junior Indemnity Agreement. Mortgagor further
disclaims any fiduciary or quasi fiduciary relationship between it or any of its
members and Mortgagee.
10.17 PUBLICITY. Mortgagee shall have the right, at Mortgagee's
expense, to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials
regarding the Loan secured by this Mortgage.
10.18 JURISDICTION. In accordance with Section 5-1402 of the General
Obligations Law of the State of New York, Mortgagor and Managing Member agree
that any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Note Purchase
Agreement, the Note, this Mortgage or the other Note Purchase Documents may be
commenced in any court located in the State of New York. Mortgagor and Managing
Member hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York over any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to the Note, this Mortgage or the other Note Purchase
Documents, and do hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may
effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding.
10.19 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE MUTUALLY,
EXPRESSLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY
PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORTGAGE, IN THE INTEREST
OF AVOIDING DELAYS AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH JURY TRIALS.
10.20 NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN
THE PARTIES.
10.21 FULL RECOURSE. Borrower shall remain liable on a full recourse
basis for any deficiency that may exist following Mortgagor's foreclosure of the
security interests in the Mortgaged Property granted hereunder or under any of
the other Security Documents.
10.22 JUNIOR MORTGAGE. This Mortgage shall be junior and subordinate to
that certain Mortgage, Security Agreement, Absolute Assignment of Leases and
Rents and Fixture Filing dated as of the date hereof made by Mortgagor in favor
of Mortgagee pursuant to the Loan Agreement described therein, which instrument
is being recorded in the Official Records immediately prior hereto.

11.2 FUTURE ADVANCES; MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL INDEBTEDNESS.
(a) To the extent that this Mortgage secures future advances other

(c) The representations contained in this Section are made solely
for the benefit of county recording authorities in determining Registry Tax
payable as a prerequisite to the recording of this Mortgage. The Mortgagor
acknowledges that such representations do not constitute or imply an agreement
by Mortgagee to make any future advances to Mortgagor.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Mortgage or any of the Loan
Documents to the contrary, any amounts as to which MRT is payable shall not be
secured by this Mortgage unless and until the tax is paid.
11.3 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Borrower shall promptly comply with all
existing and future federal, state and local laws, orders, ordinances,
