The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are material provisions of this Mortgage.
3.2. Payment of Indebtedness.
Mortgagor shall pay promptly the Indebtedness at the times and in the manner provided in the Loan Documents. All such sums payable by Mortgagor shall be paid without demand, counterclaim, offset, deduction or defense.

3.3. Other Payments.

(b) Should the total Tax and Insurance Deposits on hand not be sufficient to pay all of the Taxes and insurance premiums, together with all penalties and interest thereon, when the same become due and payable, Mortgagor shall pay to State Farm promptly on demand any amount necessary to make up the deficiency. If the total of such Tax and Insurance Deposits exceeds the amount required to pay the Taxes and insurance premiums, such excess shall be credited on subsequent payments to be made for such items.
(c) All such Tax and Insurance Deposits:

(i) shall be held by State Farm or a depository designated by State Farm with no obligation to segregate such payments and without any obligation arising for the payment of any interest thereon;

When the Indebtedness has been fully paid, any remaining Tax and Insurance Deposits shall be paid to Mortgagor.
Notwithstanding the preceding, State Farm has agreed to waive the requirement to pay to State Farm the Tax and Insurance Deposits during the Construction Loan Period (as defined in the Loan Agreement) so long as all rebalancing requirements in the Loan Agreement are met and there does not exist an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents. In addition, upon Conversion (as defined in the Loan Agreement), State Farm will agree to waive the requirement to pay to State Farm the Tax and Insurance Deposits from and after the Conversion Date, subject to, and in accordance with the terms of State Farm’s tax and insurance escrow waiver letter (in the form attached as Exhibit M to the Loan Agreement) to be entered into between State Farm and Mortgagor at Conversion.

Mortgagor shall and hereby agrees to:
(a) promptly repair, restore, replace or rebuild any portion of the Improvements which may become damaged or destroyed, provided the proceeds of insurance are made available to Mortgagor pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof, with all replacements being at least equal in quality and condition as existed prior thereto, free from any security interest therein, encumbrances thereon or reservation of title thereto;
(b) keep the Improvements in good condition and repair, without waste and free from mechanics’, materialmen’s or similar or other liens or claims of lien;

(e) make no material alterations in or to the Improvements, except as required in subsection (d) hereof or otherwise with the prior written consent of State Farm (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided such alterations or Improvements do not adversely impact the value of the Secured Property) and in conformity with all applicable laws; provided, however, without the consent of State Farm (i) upon written notice to State Farm, Mortgagor (or its tenants) may make such alterations required by or expressly permitted by tenant to be made without the consent of Landlord under the terms of any Major Lease or Minor Lease provided that State Farm has previously reviewed and approved such Major Lease or Minor Lease (“Approved Lease Alterations”), provided, however, Mortgagor shall not be required to deliver written notice to State Farm if such Approved Lease Alterations will cost less than $100,000 and will not involve a building (as opposed to tenant space) being expanded or contracted; and (ii) without written notice to State Farm, Mortgagor (or its tenants) may make (x) structural alterations or structural repairs costing less than $100,000 in the aggregate in any one year and each year so long as the Ford Major Lease (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or any other Major Lease shall exist, or (y) non-structural alterations or non-structural repairs provided such alterations or repairs do not adversely impact the value of the Secured Property;

3.5. Property Taxes and Contest of Liens.
Notwithstanding the Tax and Insurance Deposits required by Section 3.3 hereof, Mortgagor shall be responsible for the payment, before delinquency and before any penalty attaches, of all real estate and personal property taxes and assessments (general or special), water charges, sewer charges and any other charges, fees, taxes, claims, levies, charges, expenses, liens and assessments, ordinary or extraordinary, governmental or nongovernmental, statutory or otherwise, that may be levied, assessed or asserted against the Secured Property or any part thereof or interest therein (collectively, “Taxes”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Mortgagor may, in good faith and with reasonable diligence, contest the validity or amount of any Taxes as well as any mechanics’, materialmen’s or other liens or claims of lien upon the Secured Property (collectively, the “Contested Liens”), provided that:
(a) such contest shall have the effect of preventing the collection of the Contested Liens and the sale or forfeiture of the Secured Property or any part thereof or interest therein to satisfy the same; and
(b) Mortgagor shall first notify State Farm in writing of the intention of Mortgagor to contest the same before any Contested Liens have been increased by any interest, penalties or costs.
3.6. Tax and Lien Payments by State Farm.
(a) Upon the failure of Mortgagor to pay the Tax Deposits as required in Section 3.3 or, in the event said payments are waived by State Farm, to pay the Taxes required to be paid in Section 3.5 above (unless Mortgagor is contesting the Taxes as provided in Section 3.5 above), State Farm is authorized, in its sole discretion, to make any payment of Taxes in accordance with any tax xxxx or statement from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy or validity of any Taxes, sales, forfeiture of title or claim relating thereto.
(b) State Farm is also authorized, in the place and stead of Mortgagor, to make any payment relating to any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, claim of lien, encumbrance, claim, charge or payment otherwise relating to any other purpose but not enumerated in this Section, whenever, in State Farm’s judgment and discretion, such payment seems necessary to protect the full security intended to be created by this Mortgage.
(c) All such payments authorized by this Section 3.6 that are not promptly reimbursed by Mortgagor shall constitute additional Indebtedness and shall be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor to State Farm upon demand with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date of such payment.
3.7. Insurance.
Mortgagor shall insure and keep insured the Secured Property and each and every part thereof against such perils and hazards in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Loan Agreement.
-8-
3.8. Insurance Premium Payment by State Farm, Use of Proceeds.
(a) In the event Mortgagor fails to make the Insurance Deposits as required by Section 3.3, or if such Insurance Deposits have been waived, upon State Farm’s receipt of written notice (i) of an unpaid insurance premium; (ii) of a termination or cancellation of any required insurance policy; or (iii) that a required insurance policy is not to be renewed and Mortgagor fails to provide replacement coverage at least fifteen (15) days prior to the termination of existing coverage, State Farm may, at its option, procure and substitute another policy of insurance in the amount required pursuant to the foregoing terms of this Mortgage with such companies as State Farm may select, the cost of which shall be paid by Mortgagor upon demand should the amount available from the Insurance Deposits be insufficient to pay the premium therefor. All sums paid by State Farm in procuring said insurance that are not promptly reimbursed by Mortgagor shall be additional Indebtedness and shall be immediately due and payable without notice, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such payment.
(b) In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Improvements or any part thereof, Mortgagor shall promptly notify State Farm and take such action necessary to preserve the undamaged portion of the Improvements. If at the time of such damage and destruction,
(i) no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default;
(ii) the damage is such that it can be reasonably repaired within the time provided in the Leases so as to preclude a material reduction in the rental income from the Secured Property (after application of any rental insurance proceeds), or Mortgagor obtains written commitments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to State Farm from tenants to lease space, upon completion of repairs, in the Secured Property at aggregate rentals equal to or exceeding the debt service of the Loan and the general operating expenses of the Secured Property;
(iii) the Proceeds are less than the outstanding Indebtedness under the Loan;
(iv) the casualty insurer has not denied liability for payment of Proceeds as a result of any act, neglect, use or occupancy of the Secured Property by Mortgagor or any tenant of the Secured Property;
(v) the Real Estate and/or Improvements can be restored to the condition at least equal to the condition in which they existed at the closing of the Loan (with any post-closing improvements included in such Restoration (as defined in this Section 3.8)); and
(vi) if required by State Farm, a satisfactory report addressed to State Farm from an environmental engineer or other qualified professional satisfactory to State Farm certifies that no adverse environmental impact to the Secured Property has resulted from the casualty;
-9-
then, any Proceeds paid to State Farm in connection with such damage or destruction, after deducting therefrom any expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by State Farm in protecting the undamaged portion of the Improvements and in the collection of the Proceeds (the “Collection Expenses”), shall be applied by State Farm to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding (herein generally called “Restoration”) the Real Estate and/or Improvements or any part thereof as set forth in Section 3.10. Otherwise, in State Farm’s sole discretion, all Proceeds, less Collection Expenses, shall be applied: (A) to the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity; or (B) to the cost of Restoration as set forth in Section 3.10 hereof.
(c) If State Farm applies the Proceeds to the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, no premium or fee shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness from the Proceeds. In addition, if the Proceeds are applied to the Indebtedness pursuant to the preceding sentence, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of the date of prepayment of the remaining Indebtedness in full which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, Mortgagor may, at its option, pay the remaining Indebtedness in full (but not in part) without a premium or fee at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such application.
3.9. Condemnation.
(a) Mortgagor shall give State Farm prompt notice of any proceedings, instituted or threatened, seeking condemnation or taking by eminent domain or any like process (a “Taking”) of all or any part of the Real Estate or Improvements including any easement thereon or appurtenance thereto (including severance of, consequential damage to or change in grade of streets) and shall deliver to State Farm copies of any and all papers served in connection with any such proceeding.
(b) Mortgagor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto State Farm the entire Proceeds of any and all awards resulting from any Taking. State Farm is hereby authorized to collect and receive from the condemnation authorities the entire Proceeds and is further authorized to give appropriate receipts and acquittances therefor.
(c) In the event of any such Taking, any and all such Proceeds shall be applied, after deducting therefrom any Collection Expenses, in State Farm’s sole discretion but subject to the further terms of this Section 3.9, to: (i) the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity; or (ii) the cost of Restoration pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof.
(d) If (i) the Proceeds of any Taking exceed the greater of (A) $500,000; or (B) 5% of the then value of the Secured Property (as determined by an M.A.I. Appraisal obtained by State Farm at the cost and expense of Mortgagor) but are less than the outstanding Indebtedness under the Loan as of the date of such Taking and are received at least two years prior to the Maturity Date; (ii) the requirements stated in Sections 3.8(b)(i), (ii) and (v) above are satisfied; and (iii) in State Farm’s reasonable judgment, the remainder of the Secured Property can be operated (A) as
-10-
an economically viable project at substantially the same level of operations which existed immediately prior to the Taking; and (B) at the functional equivalent of its condition (considering, without limitation, the effect of the Taking on the remaining leasable area, parking and access) prior to the Taking (the “Viability Requirements”); then, such Proceeds, after deducting therefrom the Collection Expenses, shall be applied to the cost of Restoration pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof.
(e) If (i) the Proceeds of any Taking do not exceed the greater of (A) $500,000; or (B) 5% of the then value of the Secured Property (as determined by an M.A.I. Appraisal obtained by State Farm at the cost and expense of Mortgagor); (ii) no Event of Default is in existence on the date of such Taking and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default; and (iii) the Viability Requirements are met; then, such Proceeds, after deducting therefrom the Collection Expenses, shall be applied to the cost of Restoration pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof.
(f) If State Farm applies the Proceeds to the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of maturity, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, no premium or fee shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness from the Proceeds. In addition, if the Proceeds are applied to the Indebtedness because State Farm has determined that the Viability Requirements have not been satisfied, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of the date of prepayment of the remaining Indebtedness in full which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, Mortgagor may, at its option, pay the remaining Indebtedness in full (but not in part) without a premium or fee at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such application.
(g) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the Taking is, in State Farm’s determination, of such a nature that the Real Estate and the Improvements will not require Restoration, all Proceeds, after deducting therefrom the Collection Expenses, shall be applied in State Farm’s sole discretion to installments of Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, no premium or fee shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness from the Proceeds.
3.10. Restoration Using Proceeds.
(a) In the event State Farm elects (or is required hereby) to make any Proceeds available for Restoration, Mortgagor shall complete, in form and with supporting documentation reasonably required by State Farm, an estimate of the cost to repair or to restore the Real Estate and Improvements to the condition at least equal to the condition in which they existed prior to such damage, destruction or Taking, free from any security interest in, lien or encumbrance on, or reservation of title to, such Real Estate and Improvements.
(b) The Proceeds and, if applicable, other amounts payable by Mortgagor to State Farm necessary to complete Restoration shall be held by State Farm or if State Farm so desires, a disbursing agent selected by State Farm. Said Proceeds may be invested using Mortgagor’s
-11-
taxpayer identification number in an interest bearing account mutually acceptable to Mortgagor and State Farm. The costs and expenses of administering disbursements shall be paid by Mortgagor. In the event the amount of the Proceeds are insufficient to cover the cost of Restoration, Mortgagor shall pay to State Farm upon demand the cost of Restoration in excess of the Proceeds, such excess to be held by State Farm with the Proceeds.
(c) Subject to State Farm’s right to limit the number of disbursements, the Proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon State Farm’s receipt of architect’s certificates, waivers or subordinations of lien, contractor’s sworn statements and such other evidence as State Farm or any disbursing agent may reasonably require to verify the cost and fact of the completion of the work included in said disbursement. Under no circumstances shall any portion of the Proceeds be released until State Farm has been reasonably assured that the Proceeds remaining after the requested disbursement will be sufficient to complete Restoration. No payment of Proceeds made prior to the final completion of Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time. Any Proceeds remaining after Restoration shall be applied against the installments of Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity without any prepayment premium or fee (provided an Event of Default shall not then exist).
3.11. Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) Without the prior written consent of State Farm:
(i) Mortgagor shall not create, effect, contract for, commit or consent to, nor shall Mortgagor suffer or permit, any sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment, collateral assignment, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other hypothecation, encumbrance or alienation (or any agreement to do any of the foregoing) (the foregoing being herein collectively, called a “Transfer”) of the Secured Property, or any interest therein or title thereto (excepting, however, the sale or other disposition of Collateral (as defined in Section 6.1) no longer useful in connection with the operation of the Secured Property (“Obsolete Collateral”); provided, however, that prior to the sale or other disposition of Obsolete Collateral, such Obsolete Collateral shall have been replaced by Collateral of at least equal value and utility which is subject to the first and prior lien of this Mortgage, and further provided that nothing herein shall affect Mortgagor’s rights with respect to Contested Liens;
(ii) Mortgagor shall not fail to pay when the same shall become due all lawful claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in or permit the creation of a lien on the Real Estate or Improvements or on the Rents arising therefrom except as permitted under Section 3.5 hereof;
(iii) [Reserved];
(iv) if Mortgagor is a corporation or limited liability company, any shareholder of such corporation or member of such limited liability company shall not Transfer any such shareholder’s shares of such corporation or member’s

3.12. State Farm’s Dealings with Transferee.
In the event State Farm gives its written consent to a sale or Transfer of all or any part of the Secured Property, whether by operation of law, voluntarily or otherwise, State Farm shall be authorized and empowered to deal with the Person to whom the Secured Property or any part thereof shall have been transferred with regard to the Secured Property, the Indebtedness and any of the terms or conditions of this Mortgage as fully and to the same extent as it might with the original Mortgagor, without in any way releasing or discharging the original Mortgagor from any
-14-
of its covenants under this Mortgage and without waiving State Farm’s right of acceleration of the maturity of the Indebtedness as provided in this Mortgage or the Note.
3.13. Change in Tax Laws.
In the event of any change in, or change in the interpretation of, any applicable law regarding (a) the taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust or other security instruments or the debts secured thereby; or (b) the manner in which such taxes are collected, which change adversely affects State Farm, this Mortgage or any other Loan Document or the Indebtedness, Mortgagor shall promptly pay any such tax and otherwise compensate State Farm to the extent of such detriment; provided, however, that if Mortgagor fails to make such payment or if any such law prohibits Mortgagor from making such payment or would penalize State Farm in the event of such payment, State Farm may elect, by notice in writing given to Mortgagor, to declare all of the Indebtedness secured hereby to be and become due and payable, without any prepayment premium or fee, within sixty (60) days from the giving of such notice.
3.14. Inspection of Secured Property.
Subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases pursuant to the Leases, Mortgagor hereby grants to State Farm, its agents, employees, consultants and contractors the right to enter upon the Secured Property upon reasonable prior notice (except in the case of emergencies) for the purpose of making any and all inspections, reports, tests, inquiries and reviews as State Farm (in its sole and absolute discretion) deems necessary to assess the then current condition of the Secured Property or for the purpose of performing any other acts which State Farm is authorized to perform under this Mortgage or under the Environmental Indemnification Agreement executed by Mortgagor and Guarantor (if applicable) in connection with the Loan (the “Environmental Indemnification Agreement”). Mortgagor will cooperate with State Farm to facilitate each such entry and the accomplishment of such purposes.
3.15. Operating and Financial Statements.
Mortgagor shall deliver or cause to be delivered the following documents to State Farm:

-15-
tenant may self-insure on any insurance otherwise required to be obtained by Mortgagor under this Mortgage;
(d) Promptly after receipt thereof, any financial statements received by Mortgagor from any tenant under a Major Lease;

All such financial statements and information shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, shall otherwise be satisfactory to State Farm and shall be certified by an authorized person, member, partner or officer of Mortgagor or Guarantor, as applicable, approved by State Farm, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
State Farm and its representatives shall have the right, at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to examine and make copies of Mortgagor’s plans, books, records, income tax returns and all supporting data concerning Mortgagor or the Secured Property. Mortgagor will assist State Farm and its representatives in conducting any such examination.
3.16. Declaration of Subordination.
At the option of State Farm, this Mortgage shall become subject and subordinate, in whole or in part (but not with respect to priority of entitlement to insurance proceeds or any Award) to any and all Leases of all or any part of the Secured Property upon the execution by State Farm and recording thereof, at any time hereafter and in the appropriate official records of the municipality wherein the Real Estate is situated, of a unilateral declaration to that effect.
3.17. Usury.
State Farm intends that Mortgagor shall not be required to pay, and State Farm shall not be entitled to receive or collect, interest in excess of the maximum legal rate permitted under applicable usury laws. In the event State Farm or any court determines that any charge, fee or interest paid or agreed to be paid in connection with the Loan may, under applicable usury laws, cause the interest rate on the Loan to exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, such charges, fees or interest shall be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by law and any amounts actually paid in excess of such maximum rate permitted by law shall, at State Farm’s option, be applied by State Farm to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan or repaid by State Farm directly to Mortgagor.
3.18. Lease Obligations.
(a) As further security for the payment of the Indebtedness, Mortgagor has, pursuant to this Mortgage and by separate Assignment of Rents and Leases of even date herewith, sold, transferred and assigned to State Farm, its successors and assigns, all of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest, as landlord, in, to and under the Leases.
-16-
(b) The following definitions shall be applicable to all Leases of the Secured Property now or hereafter existing:
(i) “Major Leases”: Leases approved by State Farm in the Project (as defined in the Loan Agreement) that demise 234,000 square feet or more and have a lease term of at least twelve (12) years and six (6) months (with no termination options during such term), together with all extensions, renewals, amendments, modifications, replacements and substitutions therefor; provided, however, a replacement or substitution for a Major Lease shall in turn be deemed a “Major Lease” only if such replacement or substitution demises 234,000 square feet or more and has a lease term of at least twelve (12) years and six (6) months (with no termination options during such term). As of the date hereof, the following Leases constitute Major Leases:
|
Name of Tenant |
Date of Lease |
Total Square Footage |
|
Ford Motor Company |
October 18, 2017 |
234,000 |
(ii) “Minor Leases”: Leases that are not Major Leases; provided, however, if any Minor Lease, after modification, meets the definition of a Major Lease, such Minor Lease shall thereupon become a Major Lease.
(c) State Farm shall have the right to impose a Servicing Fee (as defined in Section 7.15 hereof) in connection with the review of any documentation submitted for State Farm’s approval hereunder. Mortgagor shall also be responsible for the payment of all fees and expenses of State Farm’s outside counsel in the event State Farm, in its sole discretion, shall determine that the assistance of outside counsel is necessary or appropriate.
(d) Mortgagor covenants and agrees to keep, observe and perform and to require all tenants of the Secured Property to keep, observe and perform all the covenants, agreements and provisions of any present or future Leases of the Secured Property on their respective parts to be kept, observed and performed. If Mortgagor shall neglect or refuse to so perform or fail to require such tenants to so perform, State Farm may, at its option, itself perform and comply or require performance or compliance by such tenants with any such Lease covenants, agreements and provisions. Any sums expended by State Farm in performance of or compliance with such Leases or in enforcing performance of or compliance with such Leases by the tenants, including costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be paid to State Farm by Mortgagor upon demand with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such payments and, in the absence of such payment, all such sums shall be deemed to be and become part of the Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.
(e) Mortgagor expressly covenants and agrees that if Mortgagor, as landlord under the Major Leases:
(i) fails to perform and fulfill any material term, covenant, condition or provision in any Major Lease on its part to be performed or fulfilled, at the times and in the manner provided in such Major Lease;
-17-
(ii) does or permits to be done anything to impair the value of any Major Lease as security for the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, voluntary surrender or termination;
(iii) fails to enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed by a tenant under any Major Lease;
(iv) fails to pursue its remedies under any Major Lease (short of voluntary surrender or termination) following a material breach or default by the tenant thereunder; or
(v) without State Farm’s prior written consent, permits or approves an assignment by any tenant under any Major Lease or a subletting of all or any part of the Secured Property demised in any Major Lease (other than in accordance with the terms of the applicable Major Lease previously approved by State Farm);
then, upon the occurrence of any such actions or inactions referenced in (i) through (v) above, at the option of State Farm, and with written notice to Mortgagor, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder and at the option of State Farm, all unpaid Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage shall, notwithstanding anything in the Note, this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, become due and payable as in the case of other Events of Default.
3.19. Environmental Compliance.
Mortgagor hereby agrees to comply and cause all tenants of the Secured Property to comply with any and all federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations relating to environmental protection including, but not limited to, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 and such other legislation, rules and regulations as are in or may hereafter come into effect and apply to Mortgagor, State Farm, the Loan or the Secured Property or any occupants thereof, whether as lessees, tenants, licensees or otherwise. Mortgagor shall defend, indemnify and save and hold State Farm harmless from and against any and all claims, costs or expenses relating to such environmental protection provisions notwithstanding any exculpatory or limitation of liability provisions contained in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

-18-
including applicable financing statements, continuation statements, affidavits or certificates as may be necessary to create, perfect, maintain, continue, extend and/or preserve the liens, encumbrances and security interests intended to be granted and created in and by the Loan Documents and the rights and remedies of State Farm and Mortgagor thereunder. Upon request of State Farm, Mortgagor shall promptly supply evidence of fulfillment of the foregoing acts and further assurances.
3.21. Change of Name, Identity or Structure.
Except as may be expressly set forth in this Mortgage, without giving State Farm at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, Mortgagor shall not change: (a) its jurisdiction of organization; (b) the location of its place of business (or chief executive office if more than one place of business); or (c) its name or identity (including its trade name or names).

The proposed Successor Guarantor’s identity, composition, financial condition and creditworthiness, experience, character and business reputation shall be reasonably acceptable to State Farm. If the proposed Successor Guarantor is acceptable to State Farm, the Successor Guarantor shall promptly, and in no event more than two hundred seventy (270) days (45 days if prior to Conversion) following the death of an individual Guarantor or one hundred eighty (180) days (45 days if prior to Conversion) following the dissolution or cessation of business of an entity Guarantor, as applicable, execute all documents and instruments reasonably requested by State Farm to assume all of the obligations and liabilities of the deceased or dissolved Guarantor under the Loan Documents (the “Guaranty Documents”). Mortgagor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by State Farm relating to the approval of the proposed Successor Guarantor and the preparation and review of the Guaranty Documents, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of State Farm’s outside counsel. The provisions of this Section 3.22 shall also apply in the event of the death of any individual Successor Guarantor or the dissolution or cessation of business of any entity Successor Guarantor.
3.23. Management of Secured Property.
The Secured Property shall be managed in a first-class manner by either: (a) Mortgagor or an entity affiliated with Mortgagor and approved by State Farm; or (b) a professional property management company approved by State Farm.

-19-
Agreement”). In no event shall any Manager be removed or replaced or the terms of any Management Agreement modified or amended without the prior written consent of State Farm. Following an Event of Default, State Farm shall have the right to terminate the Management Agreement or to direct Mortgagor to retain a new Manager approved by State Farm. Approvals required by State Farm under this Section 3.23 shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(iii) commence an action to foreclose this Mortgage in the manner provided in this Mortgage or by law; and

(iv) with respect to any Collateral, proceed as to both the real and personal property in accordance with State Farm’s rights and remedies in respect of the Real Estate and Improvements, or proceed to sell said Collateral separately and without regard to the Real Estate and Improvements in accordance with State Farm’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral.
(b) In (i) any action to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage or enforce any other remedy of State Farm under any of the Loan Documents; or (ii) any other proceeding whatsoever in connection with any of the Loan Documents or the Secured Property in which State Farm is named as a party, there shall be allowed and included, as additional indebtedness in the judgment or decree for sale resulting therefrom, all expenses paid or incurred in connection with such proceeding by or on behalf of State Farm including, without limitation, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, appraisers’ fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges, publication costs, land and environmental survey costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of such judgment or decree) of procuring all abstracts of title, title certificates, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, Torrens certificates and any similar data and assurances with respect to the title to the Secured Property as State Farm may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute or defend in such proceeding or to evidence to bidders at any sale pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or value of the Secured Property. All expenses and fees of the foregoing nature and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Secured Property and the maintenance of the lien of this Mortgage thereon in any litigation affecting the Loan Documents or the Secured Property, including probate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding in connection therewith, shall upon demand of State Farm be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of prepayment of such expenses and fees and shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

(f) All remedies of State Farm provided for herein are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided in the other Loan Documents or by law, including any right of offset. The exercise of any right or remedy by State Farm hereunder shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of any default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Loan Documents, invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default or prejudice State Farm in the exercise of any of its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents.
(g) To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby waives its right of redemption in the event of foreclosure.
(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of (i) a Transfer of all or any portion of the Secured Property by Mortgagor or a Transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the interests in the entity (or entities) comprising Mortgagor, each without the prior written consent of State Farm or in violation of Section 3.11 hereof; and/or (ii) the occurrence of any of the bankruptcy-related Events of Default under Sections 4.1(i)(C), 4.1(j), 4.1(k) (solely with respect to authorizing the action set forth in Section 4.1(i)(C)) or 4.1(l) of this Mortgage, in addition to the remedies specified in this Article Five, Mortgagor and Guarantor shall immediately and automatically be and become personally liable for the payment of the Indebtedness.

6.3. Remedies.
If any Event of Default occurs under this Mortgage, State Farm, in addition to its other rights and remedies provided under this Mortgage, shall have all the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Code as well as all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. Mortgagor upon request by State Farm will assemble the Collateral and make it available to State Farm at a place State Farm designates to allow State Farm to take possession or dispose of the Collateral. Mortgagor agrees that ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of the sale of the Collateral, sent to Mortgagor in the manner provided for the mailing of notices herein, is reasonable notice to Mortgagor. The sale of the Collateral may be conducted by an employee or agent of State Farm and any Person, including both Mortgagor and State Farm, shall be eligible to purchase any part or all of the Collateral at the sale. The reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by State Farm shall include, without limitation, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and legal expenses incurred by State Farm, and shall be paid by Mortgagor.
6.4. Waivers.
Mortgagor waives any right to require State Farm to (a) proceed against any Person; (b) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral; or (c) pursue any other remedy in its power. Mortgagor further waives any defense arising by reason of any power and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Mortgagor or any other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Mortgagor or any other Person. Until the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Mortgagor shall not have any right to subrogation and Mortgagor waives any right to enforce any remedy which Mortgagor now has or may hereafter have against State Farm or against any other Person and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any Collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by State Farm for or with respect to the Indebtedness and/or the Obligations.
6.5. Authorization.
Mortgagor hereby authorizes State Farm at any time and from time to time during the life of the Loan to file in any filing office in any Code jurisdiction any financing statements, amendments or addendums thereto and continuation statements (the “UCC Documents”) in order to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest granted under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents. Mortgagor agrees to provide any information needed to complete such UCC Documents to State Farm promptly upon request. Mortgagor shall pay to State Farm, within five (5) business days of written demand, any and all costs and expenses incurred by State Farm in connection with the preparation, processing and filing of any such UCC Documents, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all disbursements. Such costs and expenses shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date paid by State Farm until the date repaid by Mortgagor and such costs and expenses, together with such interest, shall be part of the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Mortgage.
-25-
6.6. Preservation of Mortgagor’s Existence.
Mortgagor shall do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, franchises, rights and privileges under the laws of the state of its formation and of the State of Connecticut.

Without giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to State Farm, Mortgagor shall not add to or change any location at which any of the Collateral is stored, held or located.

7.5. Severability.

Mortgagor hereby acknowledges and agrees to pay, immediately, upon demand, all such Servicing Fees (as the same may be increased or decreased from time to time), and any additional fees of a similar type or nature that may be imposed by State Farm from time to time in connection with a Servicing Action.

7.16. Subrogation.
To the extent the proceeds of the Indebtedness are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or encumbrance affecting the Secured Property (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any prior lien), State Farm shall be subrogated to all rights, interests and liens owned or held by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, charges and encumbrances, irrespective of whether such liens, charges or encumbrances are released of record; provided, however, the terms and provisions hereof shall govern the rights and remedies of State Farm and, to the extent permitted by law without impairing any of State Farm’s rights of subrogation, shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights and remedies under the lien or liens to which State Farm is subrogated hereunder.

No such extension, reduction, modification, renewal or dealing shall affect the priority of this Mortgage or release any liability of Mortgagor or any other Person or impair the security hereof in any manner whatsoever.

-31-
8.4. No Merger of Secured Property.
If State Farm shall acquire title to the Secured Property by conveyance from Mortgagor or as a result of the foreclosure of any other mortgage which State Farm at any time holds with respect to the Secured Property, this Mortgage shall not merge in the fee of the Secured Property but shall remain and continue as an existing and enforceable lien for the Loan secured hereby until the same shall be released of record by State Farm in writing.
8.5. Maturity Date.
The Maturity Date of the Loan is the date on which the final payment of principal of the Note becomes due and payable as therein provided, whether at the Maturity Date stated in this Mortgage, by declaration of acceleration, or otherwise. The Maturity Date stated in this Mortgage is August 1, 2019 unless Conversion (as defined in the Loan Agreement) occurs, or April 1, 2034 if Conversion occurs. The maximum term of the Loan ends on April 1, 2034 (if Conversion occurs).
8.6. Copy of this Security Instrument.
MORTGAGOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT, WITHOUT CHARGE, OF A TRUE AND COMPLETE COPY OF THIS MORTGAGE.
8.7. Compound Interest. Accrued interest may be added to the principal amount secured by this Mortgage, and interest will accrue on any such interest added to the principal amount secured by this Mortgage.

Buildings or improvements on the Real Estate are in process of construction or repair, or to be erected or repaired, and State Farm has agreed to make the Loan herein described to be paid over to Mortgagor in installments as the work progresses, the time and amount of each advancement to be at the sole discretion and upon the estimate of State Farm, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, so that when all of the work on the Real Estate shall have been completed to the satisfaction of State Farm, State Farm shall, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, then pay over to the Mortgagor any balance necessary to complete the full loan of $14,287,500 or such lesser amount as may be provided in the Loan Agreement. Mortgagor agrees to complete the erection or repair of said buildings or improvements to the satisfaction of State Farm within a reasonable time from the date hereof or at the latest on or before October 31, 2018 or such earlier date as may be set forth in the Loan Agreement.

This Mortgage is an “open‑end mortgage” as provided for by § 49-2(c) of the Connecticut General Statutes, and State Farm shall have all the rights, powers, privileges, and protections afforded to the holder of an open‑end mortgage by such statute or any other applicable law. For purposes of such statute, the maximum principal amount of the loan authorized is $14,287,500. It is understood and agreed that State Farm may, but shall not be obligated to, at any time and from time to time, make future advances secured by this Mortgage. Whether or not any such future advances are to be made shall be determined by State Farm in its sole and absolute discretion. Except for advances for the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, repairs, alterations, improvements or costs incurred for the protection of the Secured Property or otherwise permitted elsewhere by this Mortgage, the Loan Documents, or under applicable law, all future advances made shall be evidenced by a note or notes executed by Mortgagor, which provide that such advances are secured by this Mortgage. In no event shall the repayment terms in any such note or notes extend the time for repayment beyond the Maturity Date, as the same may be from time to time modified in writing as provided herein. Nothing set forth in this section will affect the validity or enforceability of any obligation of Mortgagor to State Farm under this Mortgage, the Loan Documents, or any other agreement between Mortgagor and State Farm that would be valid and enforceable without the provisions of this Section 8.10.
