vested rights under any Planned Unit Development or Development of Regional
Impact or other project, zoning, or land use approval, insurance policies,
rights of action and other choses in action.
The
Land
Appurtenances, Improvements and Tangible Property are collectively referred
to
as the “Mortgaged Property” in this Mortgage. The portion of the property
encumbered by this Mortgage that from time to time consists of intangible
personal property, except for the Rent, is called the “Intangible Property” in
this Mortgage. The Mortgaged Property, Rents, Intangible Property and any other
property interests encumbered hereby are hereinafter referred to collectively
as
the “Collateral”. Wherever used in this Mortgage, the use of the terms,
“Mortgaged Property,” “Rents”. “Intangible Property,” and “collateral” means and
includes all or any portion thereof applicable to the context.
Notwithstanding
the grant of Mortgagor’s interest in the Rents and Contract Rights above, so
long as no Default shall exist hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents, Mortgagor shall have a license to collect and receive all incomes
arising from the operation, ownership, and maintenance of the Mortgaged
Property, Rents and Contract Rights, but not more than one (1) month prior
to
accrual.
2. SECURITY
AGREEMENT. To the extent any of the Collateral encumbered by this Mortgage
from
time to time constitutes personal property subject to the provisions of the
Uniform Commercial Code, this Mortgage constitutes a “Security Agreement” for
all purposes under the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limitation, Mortgagee,
at its election, upon the occurrence of a Default under this Mortgage, will
have
all rights, powers, privileges and remedies from time to time available to
a
secured party under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code with respect
to the Collateral. The names and addresses of debtor and secured party are
as
shown for Mortgagor and Mortgagee, respectively, on the signature pages hereof.
The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms, and conditions of the
security agreement
3
herein
contained shall be (i) as prescribed herein, or (ii) as prescribed by general
law, or (iii) as prescribed by the specific statutory provisions now or
hereafter enacted and specified in the Uniform Commercial Code, all at
Mortgagee’s sole election. Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree that the filing of
financing statement(s) in the records normally having to do with personal
property shall never be construed as in anywise derogating from or impairing
this declaration and hereby stated intention of Mortgagor and Mortgagee that
everything used in connection with the production of income from the Collateral
or adapted for use therein or which is described or reflected in this Mortgage,
is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal
or
equitable shall be, regarded as part of the real estate irrespective of whether
(i) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial
numbers are used for the better identification of certain items capable of
being
thus identified in a recital contained herein, or (iii) any such item is
referred to or reflected in any financing statement(s) so filed at any time.
Similarly, the mention in any financing statement of the rights in, or the
proceeds of, any fire, hazard or liability insurance policy, or any award in
eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or Mortgagor’s
interest as lessor in any present or future lease, or rights to income growing
out of the use of the Mortgaged Property, whether pursuant to a lease or
otherwise, shall not be construed as altering any of Mortgagee’s rights as
determined by this Mortgage, or otherwise available at law or in equity, or
impugning the priority of this Mortgage or the Loan Documents, or both, but
such
mention in any financing statement is declared to be for Mortgagee’s protection
if, as, and when any court holds that notice of Mortgagee’s priority of
interest, to be effective against a particular class of persons, including
the
Federal government and any subdivision or entities of the Federal government,
must be perfected in the manner required by the Uniform Commercial
Code.
Mortgagor
covenants and agrees that Mortgagor will furnish Mortgagee with notice of any
change in name, identity, or organizational structure, mailing address,
residences or principal place of business thirty (30) days prior to the
effective date of any such change. Mortgagor will promptly execute any financing
statements or other instruments deemed necessary by Bank to prevent any filed
financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status
or
to reinstate any lapsed financing statement.
3. AFTER-ACQUIRED
PROPERTY. Without the necessity of any further act of Mortgagor or Mortgagee,
the lien of and security interest created by this Mortgage automatically will
extend to and include (i) any and all renewals, replacements, substitutions,
accessions, proceeds, products, additions or after-acquired property for or
to
the Collateral, and (ii) any and all monies, proceeds and other property that
from time to time, either by delivery to Mortgagor or by any instrument
(including this Mortgage) may be subjected to such lien and security interest
by
Mortgagor or by anyone on behalf of Mortgagor, or with the consent of Mortgagor,
or which otherwise may come into the possession or otherwise be subjected to
the
control of Mortgagee or Mortgagor pursuant to this Mortgage or the other Loan
Documents.
4. DEBT.
Mortgagor is justly indebted to Mortgagee in the principal amount of
EIGHTEEN
MILLION DOLLARS
($18,000,000.00) as evidenced by that certain Promissory Note of even date
herewith made by Mortgagor payable to the order of Mortgagee and maturing on
December 1, 2008, unless such maturity is accelerated or extended (as provided
in said Note), which Note, together with any and all renewals, replacements,
extensions, modifications,
4
substitutions,
future advances, and any and all other certificates or evidence of indebtedness
evidenced by said Note is herein called the “Note”.
Mortgagor’s
obligations described below are secured, among other things, by the collateral
described in this Mortgage, which term includes any and all amendments,
extensions, renewals, replacements, substitutions, modifications and
consolidations of this Mortgage, and may also from time to time be secured
by
other collateral described in written documents. The Mortgage and such other
documents as may exist on the date hereof or may exist hereafter are referred
to
as the “Security Documents,” which term, includes any and all financing
statements, letters of credit, assignments, agreements, supplements, and riders
made and delivered in connection with the Note and this Mortgage, and any and
all amendments, modifications, extensions, renewals, replacements, substitutions
and consolidations thereof or thereto. The Security Documents, the Note, and
all
documents between Mortgagor and Mortgagee are referred to collectively as the
“Loan Documents” The Note, the Mortgage and the Loan Documents shall always be
taken and read together as constituting part of one transaction.
The
obligations of Mortgagor secured by the Security Documents arising pursuant
to
the Loan Documents are as follows and are called the “Debt” in this Mortgage and
the other Loan Documents:
(a) Loan

Mortgagor’s payment or performance of all obligations imposed upon Mortgagor by
the Loan Documents; and
(b) Advances.
All
sums advanced by Mortgagee to or for the benefit of Mortgagor in the manner

Collateral, including, without limitation, all sums advanced pursuant to this
Mortgage, including advances for repairs, maintenance, insurance, taxes, or
assessments; and
(c) Costs.
All
reasonable costs, expenses, losses, damages and other charges sustained or
incurred by Mortgagee because of (i) Mortgagor’s default in payment or
performance, as the case may be, of any provision contained in the Loan
Documents; (ii) defense of actions instituted by Mortgagor or a third party
against Mortgagee arising out of or related to the Loan, or in the realizing
upon, protecting, perfecting, defending, or (iii) actions brought or defended
by
Mortgagee enforcing Mortgagee’s security interest in the Collateral. All of
these costs and expenses include reasonable attorneys’ fees, paralegals’ fees,
or legal assistants’ fees, whether incurred with respect to collection,
litigation, bankruptcy proceedings, interpretation, dispute, negotiation, trial,
appeal, defense of actions instituted by a third party against Mortgagee, or
enforcement of any judgment based on the Loan Documents, whether or not suit
is
brought to collect such amounts or to enforce such rights or, if brought, is
prosecuted to judgment.

All
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the
Loan,

taxes, documentary stamp taxes and intangible taxes, attorneys’ fees, consultant

recording charges.
(e) Indemnities.
All
costs, expenses, and amounts arising under or pursuant to any indemnity
contained within the Loan Documents or in any separate agreement executed by
Mortgagor in favor of Mortgagee.
5. TITLE
WARRANTIES. Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances (as hereinafter defined),
Mortgagor covenants with Mortgagee that: (i) Mortgagor is indefeasibly seized
of
the Land and Improvements in fee simple, has good and marketable title to the
Collateral and has full power, lawful right and authority to convey the same
in
fee simple and to grant Mortgagee a perfected first lien security interest
in
the Collateral, and (ii) the Collateral is free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances, restrictions, and security interests of any nature except for
those permitted encumbrances which Mortgagee has previously approved, as set
out
in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, which are
referred to as “Permitted Encumbrances” in this Mortgage.
6. LIENS.
Mortgagor will not create or permit to be created, or to remain, and will
promptly discharge at Mortgagor’s expense any and all liens or encumbrances
upon, or security interests in, the Collateral, or any combination thereof,
whether consensual, common law, statutory, voluntary, involuntary, or arising
by
operation of law, except Permitted Encumbrances. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and except for any construction liens, Mortgagor may contest the amount,
validity and enforceability of any involuntary or nonconsensual lien,
encumbrance or security interest, including those arising by operation of law,
in the manner provided in Paragraph 8 below. If any construction lien is filed
against the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor agrees to discharge or otherwise
remove such lien by bond or otherwise, within ten (10) days of imposition of
same, but may thereafter contest the amount or validity of such lien as provided
in Paragraph 8 below.
7. TAXES
AND
OTHER IMPOSITIONS. Mortgagor will pay or cause to be paid, when due (i) all
property taxes, assessments, water, sewer, utility and other rents, rates and
charges, including all excises, taxes, levies, license fees, permit fees, impact
fees, connection fees, and other fees and charges, whether general or special,
ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, that may be assessed, levied
or imposed upon the Collateral, or otherwise arising with respect to the
occupancy, use, possession or disposition thereof, whether or not the failure
to
pay the same might result in the creation of a lien upon the Collateral, or
any
combination thereof, (ii) all franchise, excise and other taxes, fees and
charges assessed, levied or imposed with respect to Mortgagor’s right to do
business in the State of New York and the political subdivisions thereof, (iii)
all taxes and fees (except for Mortgagee’s state and Federal income taxes) that
may be levied by the United States of America or any state or political
subdivision thereof, upon Mortgagee or Mortgagor in connection with or upon
the
Loan Documents, or the Debt or its payment, or collection, or any combination
thereof (including all documentary stamp taxes and intangible taxes plus any
penalties and interest charged for the late payment of any such taxes); and
(iv)
all lawful claims and demands of contractors, subcontractors, mechanics,
laborers, materialmen and other lienors which, if unpaid, might result in the
creation of a lien upon the Collateral. The sums payable under this Paragraph
are called “Impositions”. Nothing
6
contained
in this Paragraph will require the payment of any Imposition so long as the
amount, validity or enforceability thereof is contested by appropriate
proceedings as provided in Paragraph 8 below. With respect to state and local
real and tangible personal property taxes, however, Mortgagor will pay same
and
will furnish Mortgagee with copies of the receipts for each such payment without
demand at least thirty (30) days prior to the date each of such taxes will
become delinquent, and any contest of the same must be by a suit or other
proceeding for a refund. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall prohibit
Mortgagor from paying Impositions in installments where such method of payment
is permitted by law. With respect to all other Impositions, Mortgagor will
furnish Mortgagee with proof of such payment upon demand. If any payment
required to be made by Mortgagor by this Paragraph is prohibited by law, with
the result that Mortgagee becomes liable for its payment, then the Debt will
immediately become due and payable, at Mortgagee’s option.
8. CONTESTS.
Mortgagor may contest, by any and all appropriate administrative, trial or
appellate proceedings, or any combination thereof, and in Mortgagee’s name, if
required by law, the amount, validity, enforceability or application of any
Imposition that Mortgagor is required to pay or perform to any person or entity
other than Mortgagee by any provision of this Mortgage or the other Loan
Documents if and only for so long as: (i) Mortgagor notifies Mortgagee in
writing of its intent to contest the Imposition; (ii) such contest suspends
the
collection or enforcement of the item(s) contested; (iii) no part of the
Collateral will be subject to loss, sale or forfeiture before final
determination of any such contest; (iv) neither Mortgagor nor Mortgagee will
be
subject to any criminal liability; (v) Mortgagor furnishes such security as
may
be required by law in connection with each such contest; (vi) the value,
usefulness and marketability of the Collateral will not be adversely impaired
by
any such contest; (vii) Mortgagor otherwise continues to pay and perform, as
the
case may be, the Debt and Mortgagor’s obligations under this Mortgage; (viii)
Mortgagor otherwise is not in default under any provision of the Loan Documents;
(ix) each such contest is continuously prosecuted diligently to final
determination; (x) Mortgagor pays or causes to be paid, and defends, indemnifies
and holds Mortgagee harmless of and from any and all losses, judgments, decrees
and costs (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with
each such contest; (xi) Mortgagor, promptly following final determination of
each such contest, fully pays and discharges all amounts that may be levied,
assessed, charged, imposed or otherwise determined to be payable, together
with
all penalties, fines, interests, costs and expenses, and otherwise complies
with
such final determination, at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense; and (xii) such
liens are not filed against the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the Lien Law
of
the State of New York, in which event such liens must be discharged or deferred
to bond pursuant to Paragraph 6 above before Mortgagor contests such liens.
So
long as Mortgagor complies with the foregoing and Mortgagee is promptly
reimbursed for all costs and expenses incurred, Mortgagee will cooperate with
Mortgagor in connection with any such contest.
9. INSURANCE.
Until the Debt shall have been discharged by Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall
maintain, at Mortgagor’s cost and expense, the following insurance coverages in
full force and effect at all times:
(a) Hazard
and Property Insurance.
Mortgagor will obtain and keep in full force (i) “All Risk” type property
insurance to include as a minimum the perils of fire and
7
extended
coverage, vandalism, water damage, collapse, earthquake, and law and ordinance
(demolition and increased cost of construction) coverage in an amount equal
to
100% of the full insurable value of the Improvements (i.e., total cost less
value of land and nondestructibles such as foundations, underground utilities,
etc.); and (ii) personal property insurance as required by Mortgagee in an
amount equal to 100% of the full insurable replacement value of the Tangible
Property; and (iii) business income insurance in an amount equal to (y) annual
net income plus continuing normal operating expenses, or (z) one year’s rental
value including, but not limited to rental income from all Leases or sub-leases
which are assigned to Mortgagee; and (iv) flood insurance in the maximum
amount.
(b) Liability

Mortgagor will obtain and keep in full force a “Broad Form Comprehensive General
Liability” insurance coverage for both Mortgagor and any contractor performing
services to the Mortgaged Property in the minimum coverage amount of Five

Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000).
(c) Other
Insurance.
Boiler
and machinery insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, wind damage insurance,
and other insurance coverages as Mortgagee may reasonably require.
The

amounts acceptable to Mortgagee, (ii) contain a standard mortgagee clause in
favor of Mortgagee naming Mortgagee as a mortgagee and including a lender’s loss
payee clause in such policy, as applicable (iii) not be terminable or modified
without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Mortgagee, and (iv) be
evidenced by original policies or certified copies of policies deposited with
Mortgagee, as Mortgagee may elect, to be held by Mortgagee until the Debt shall
have been fully paid and discharged. Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee
satisfactory evidence of payment of all premiums required and similar evidence
of renewal or replacement coverage not later than thirty (30) days prior to
the
date any coverage will expire.
Each
insurance policy or endorsement required herein shall be written by an insurer
having a rating not less than “A-XII” Best’s Rating according to the most
current edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide as determined at the time of the
initial policy and at all times during the term hereof. All policies shall
indicate that notices related to such insurance shall be sent to Mortgagee
at:

If
any
loss occurs with respect to the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee is hereby
appointed attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor to make proof of loss if Mortgagor
fails to make the same punctually, and in such event to give a receipt for
any
proceeds collected under such policies. Mortgagor will promptly give written
notice to Mortgagee of any loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property, and will
not adjust or settle any such loss without Mortgagee’s prior
written
8
consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon any Default
by
Mortgagor under this Mortgage, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in
and
to all such insurance policies then in force, including any and all unearned
premiums and existing claims, will inure to Mortgagee, which, at its option,
and
as attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor, may then make, settle and give binding
acquittances for claims under all such policies, and may assign and transfer
such policies or cancel or surrender them, applying any unearned premium in
such
manner as Mortgagee may elect. The foregoing appointment of Mortgagee as
attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor is coupled with an interest, and is irrevocable.
Notwithstanding the occurrence of any casualty or the availability of any
insurance proceeds, Mortgagor will pay the Debt in the manner required by the
Loan Documents.
10. CONDEMNATION.
If all or any part of the Collateral, or any interest therein or right accruing
thereto, is taken as a result of, or in lieu or in anticipation of, the exercise
of the right of condemnation or eminent domain, or by reason of the temporary
requisition of the use or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property, in any event
by
any government or quasi-governmental authority, civil or military, or any other
party entitled to exercise such powers by law, general or special, or is
devalued or otherwise adversely affected by any of the foregoing actions, all
proceeds payable with respect to any such action are assigned to Mortgagee
and
shall be paid to Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall be under no obligation to question
the amount of any such award or compensation and may accept the same in the
amount in which the same shall be paid. The proceeds of any award or
compensation so received shall, at the option of the Mortgagee, either be
applied to the payment of the Debt or be paid over to the Mortgagor for the
restoration of the Improvement. Mortgagor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge
of the institution or threatened institution, of any proceedings for the
Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, by condemnation or eminent domain,
will
notify the Mortgagee of the pending of such proceedings. Mortgagee shall have
the right to intervene and participate in any proceedings for and in connection
with any taking referred to in this Paragraph. Mortgagor shall not enter into
any agreement for the taking of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof
with
any person or persons authorized to acquire the same by condemnation or eminent
domain, unless the Mortgagee shall have consented thereto in writing. Any of
the
foregoing actions are sometimes called a “condemnation” or “taking” in this
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. Such proceeds include, without
limitation, severance damages, damages arising from the change of grade of
any
street or the access thereto, the taking of air rights and damages caused by
noise, pollutants and other emissions. Notwithstanding any such taking or other
injury or decrease in value, or the availability of any proceeds for any of
the
foregoing, Mortgagor shall continue to pay the Debt in the manner required
by
the Loan Documents. Mortgagee’s rights under this Paragraph will survive the
foreclosure or other enforcement of this Mortgage, and Mortgagee will have
the
right to receive and retain all proceeds to the extent of any deficiency which
exists upon such foreclosure or other enforcement, together with legal interest
thereon, and to the extent of the reasonable counsel fees, costs and
disbursements incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the collection of such
proceeds. Such right shall exist whether or not a deficiency judgment shall
have
been sought or recovered or denied upon the Note. The remaining balance of
such
proceeds, if any, will inure to the benefit of the party entitled thereto by
applicable law.
9
11. APPLICATION
OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS AND AWARDS. The Mortgagor will promptly give the Mortgagee
written notice of any damage to or destruction of the Mortgaged Property or
any
part thereof, generally describing the nature and extent of such damage or
destruction and the Mortgagor’s best estimate of the cost of restoring the
Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagee may, at its sole option, apply all amounts
recovered under any insurance policy required to be maintained by the Mortgagor
hereunder in any one or more of the following ways: (a) to the payment of the
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in obtaining such
insurance proceeds, including the fees and expenses of attorneys and insurance
and other experts and consultants, the costs of litigation, arbitration,
mediation, investigations and other judicial, administrative or other
proceedings and all other out-of-pocket expenses; (b) to the payment of any
of
the Debt other than indebtedness with respect to the Note at the time
outstanding; (c) to the payment of the principal of the Note and any interest
accrued and unpaid thereon, without regard to whether any portion or all of
such
amounts shall be matured or unmatured, together with interest at the default
interest rate on any overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) interest; and, in case such amount shall be insufficient to
pay
in full all such amounts, then such amounts shall be applied, first, to the
payment of all amounts of interest accrued on the Note and unpaid, without
preference or priority of any payment of interest over any other payment of
interest or of any other Note, and, second, to the payment of all amounts of
principal at the time outstanding, without preference or priority of any
installment or amount of principal over any other installment or amount of
principal or of any Note over any other Note, but otherwise in such manner
and
order as the Mortgagee shall in its sole discretion determine; (d) to fulfill
any of the other covenants contained herein as the Mortgagee may determine;
(e)
release to the Mortgagor for application to the cost of restoring the Mortgaged
Property; or (f) release to the Mortgagor. In the event of a foreclosure of
this
Mortgage, the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property shall succeed to all the
rights of the Mortgagor, including any right to unearned premiums, in and to
all
policies of insurance assigned and delivered to the Mortgagee.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 11, and upon the terms
and
conditions set forth below, in the event of damage or destruction to the
buildings now or hereafter situated on the Mortgaged Property all insurance
money paid to Mortgagee on account of such damage or destruction, less the
actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with adjustment
of the loss, shall be released by Mortgagee to be applied to payment (to the
extent of actual restoration performed) of the cost of restoring, repair,
replacing or rebuilding the Mortgaged Property substantially to its value
immediately prior to such damage or destruction (the “Restoration”), including
the cost of temporary repairs. Insurance proceeds released for Restoration
shall
be disbursed from time to time as such Restoration progresses subject to the
following conditions:
(a)
|
Mortgagor
is not then in Default under and no event of Default then exists
with
respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions under the Note
or
the Mortgage;
|
(b)
|
The
cost of Restoration is less than 50% of the insurable value of the
building or buildings prior to such damage or
destruction;
|
10
(c) |
Mortgagee
shall first be given satisfactory proof that by the expenditure of
such
proceeds, the Mortgaged Property will be fully restored, free and
clear of
all construction liens, or, if such proceeds are insufficient to
restore
or rebuild the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor shall either (i) deposit
promptly with Mortgagee funds which, together with such proceeds,
shall be
sufficient to complete Restoration, or (ii) provide other assurance
satisfactory to Mortgagee that Restoration will be completed;
and
|
(d) |
In
the event Mortgagor shall fail either to pursue Restoration diligently
to
completion or to complete Restoration within a reasonable time,
Mortgagee,
at its option, may complete Restoration for or on behalf of Mortgagor
and
for such purpose may do all necessary
acts.
|
In
the
event any of the said conditions are not or cannot be satisfied, then Mortgagee
may apply such proceeds to payment of the Debt secured by the Mortgage. Under
no
circumstances shall Mortgagee become personally liable for the fulfillment
of
the terms, covenants and conditions contained in any of the leases of the
Mortgaged Property with respect to the matters referred to in this paragraph
nor
shall the Mortgagee become obligated to take any action to restore the Mortgaged
Property. Mortgagee shall not be obligated to see to the proper application
of
any funds released hereunder, nor shall any amount so released or used be deemed
a payment on the Debt secured by the mortgage.
Upon
(i)
completion of all the Restoration in a good workmanlike manner and substantially
in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor, if any, approved
by
Mortgagee and (ii) receipt by Mortgagee of satisfactory evidence that the
Restoration has been completed and paid for in full (or, if any part of such
Restoration has not been paid for, adequate security for such payment shall
exist in form satisfactory to Mortgagee), any balance of the insurance proceeds
at the time held by Mortgagee shall be paid to Mortgagor or its designee
provided Mortgagor is not then in Default under and no event of Default then
exists with respect to any of the terms or provisions of the Note or the
Security Documents.
If,
while
any insurance proceeds are being held by Mortgagee to reimburse Mortgagor for
the cost of Restoration of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee shall be or become
entitled to, and shall, accelerate the Debt secured by the Mortgage upon the
terms and conditions set forth in the Note, Mortgagee shall be entitled to
apply
all such proceeds then held by it in reduction of the Debt secured by the
Mortgage and any excess held by it over the amount of the Debt secured by the
Mortgage shall be returned to Mortgagor or any party entitled
thereto.
12.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, AND RECONSTRUCTION.
(a) Maintenance
and Repairs.
Mortgagor, at its sole cost, shall make all repairs, renewals, replacements,
servicing and reconstruction that are necessary to maintain the Mortgaged
Property in good order, condition and repair. Immediately following the
occurrence of any casualty or other loss, Mortgagor promptly will undertake
all
restoration required or
11
desirable
and will pursue it diligently to completion. Mortgagor shall (i) promptly comply
with all laws, governmental regulations and public or private restrictions
or
easements, or both, of any kind affecting the Mortgaged Property or requiring
any alterations or improvements to be made thereon, and (ii) not commit, suffer
or permit any act upon the Mortgaged Property in violation of any law, subject
to Mortgagor’s right to contest the same in good faith to conclusion, as
provided in Paragraph 8 of this Mortgage. If any public agency or authority
requires or commences any proceedings for the demolition or removal, or both,
of
any improvements or portions thereof comprising the Mortgaged Property due
to
non-compliance with health, safety, fire or building codes, then, unless
Mortgagor undertakes to contest such action in the manner provided in Paragraph
8 above and pursues such contest to a successful conclusion, such action will
constitute a Default under this Mortgage. Mortgagee and any persons authorized
by Mortgagee may enter the Mortgaged Property at all reasonable times with
prior
notice for inspections or for any other lawful purpose. If Mortgagor fails
to
comply with the requirements of this Paragraph, then Mortgagee, without waiving
the option to foreclose, may take some or all measures Mortgagee reasonably
deems necessary or desirable for the maintenance, repair, preservation or
protection of the Mortgaged Property, and any expenses reasonably incurred
by
Mortgagee in so doing shall become part of the Debt secured hereby, and shall,
at the option of Mortgagee, become immediately due and payable, and shall bear
interest at the Default Rate specified in the Note. Mortgagee shall have no
obligation to care for or maintain the Mortgaged Property, or, having taken
some
measures therefor, to continue same or take other measures.
(b) Reconstruction.
The
Mortgagor shall promptly repair, restore, replace or rebuild any part of the
Mortgaged Property, now or hereafter encumbered by this Mortgage which may
be
affected by any condemnation proceeding or which may otherwise become damaged,
destroyed, lost or unsuitable for use. In the event the Mortgaged Property
or
any part thereof, if damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, the
Mortgagor shall immediately notify the Mortgagee, in writing, of such damage
or
destruction. The Mortgagor shall not cause or permit anything to be done which
would or could increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, or which would or could result in an increase
in
any insurance premiums payable with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or which
would or could result in the cancellation of any insurance policy carried with
respect to the Mortgaged Property. No part of the Mortgaged Property, including,
but not limited to, any building, structure, water system, sewer system, parking
lot, driveway, landscape scheme, timber or other ground improvement, equipment
or other property, now or hereafter mortgaged, shall be removed, demolished
or
materially altered without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee. No top
soil, sand, sod, loam, clay or gravel shall be mined, stripped, or removed
from
the Mortgaged Property without the written consent of the
Mortgagee.
13. ADVANCES.
If Mortgagor defaults in the observance or performance of any of the provisions
of the Loan Documents, including but not limited to obtaining and maintaining
insurance pursuant to Paragraph 9, paying Impositions pursuant to Paragraph
7,
and maintaining the Mortgaged Property pursuant to Paragraph 12, then Mortgagee,
without waiving or otherwise impairing any other of its rights or remedies,
at
its sole option and without obligation to do so, and without demand upon
Mortgagor, may make any such payment or take such action as Mortgagee deems
necessary or appropriate to correct such Default, or to protect the security
of
the Collateral encumbered by the Loan Documents. All payments so made, together
with all
12
costs
and
expenses so incurred, will be added to the principal amount due under the Note
and thereafter will bear interest at the rate then payable as provided for
in
the Note, and will be secured by the lien and security interest granted by
the
Security Documents. For the foregoing purposes, Mortgagee is authorized to
(a)
enter upon the Mortgaged Property; (b) appear in and defend any action or
proceeding purporting to affect the security of this Mortgage or the rights
or
powers of Mortgagee hereunder, (c) pay, purchase, contest or compromise any
encumbrance, charge or lien that in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee appears
to adversely affect the Collateral; and (d) take whatever action Mortgagee,
in
its discretion, deems necessary or appropriate in exercising any such powers.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor immediately, upon Mortgagee’s demand,
will pay all sums so expended by Mortgagee with interest as stated
above.
14.
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, LEASES, PROFITS AND CONTRACT RIGHTS. Pursuant to Paragraph
1 of this Mortgage, Mortgagor has irrevocably assigned and set over unto
Mortgagee all right, title, and interest of Mortgagor in and to the Rents and
Contract Rights (including all leases and sales contracts now or hereafter
existing relating to the Mortgaged Property) as security for the Debt, together
with the right to collect and enforce the same; provided, however, so long
as
there shall be no Default under the Loan Documents, Mortgagor has been granted
a
license to collect and receive all Rents assigned hereunder in accordance with
Paragraph 1. Neither these assignments nor Mortgagee’s enforcement of the
provisions of these assignments (including the receipt of the Rents) will
operate to subordinate the lien of this Mortgage to any of the rights of any
lessee or purchaser under any lease or sales contract of the Mortgaged Property,
or to subject Mortgagee to any liability to any such lessee or purchaser for
the
performance of any obligations of Mortgagor under any such lease or sales
contract unless and until Mortgagee agrees to such subordination or assumes
such
liability by an appropriate written instrument. All right, title and interest
of
each such lessee or purchaser in and to the Mortgaged Property, whether arising
by virtue of any such lease, contract or otherwise, at all times will be and
remain subject, subordinate and inferior to the lien of this Mortgage and all
rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Mortgagee arising under or by virtue
of any of the Loan Documents. The assignments of Rents and Contract Rights
(including leases) contained in this Mortgage are intended to provide Mortgagee
with all the rights and remedies of mortgagees pursuant to the Real Property
Law
of the State of New York, as may be amended from time to time. However, in
no
event shall this reference diminish, alter, impair, or affect any other rights
and remedies of Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Mortgagor shall
have executed an Assignment of Rents constituting one of the Loan Documents,
such Assignment of Rents is hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall
control if in conflict with the provisions of this Mortgage.
15. [INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED]
16. DEFAULT.
The occurrence of any of the following (time being of the essence as to this
Mortgage and all of its provisions) constitutes a “Default” by Mortgagor under

provide Mortgagor with any grace period in complying with any obligations
imposed on Mortgagor by the terms of the Loan Documents except as expressly
specified in Xxxxxxxxx 00 xxxxx.
(x) Representation.
Any
representation or warranty of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage or in any

seeking or acquiescing in any reorganization or for an arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief for itself pursuant
to
the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar law or regulation, Federal
or
state relating to any relief for debtors, now or hereafter in effect; or (ii)

inability to pay or fails to pay its debts as they become due; or (iii) suspends
payment of its obligations or takes any action in furtherance of the foregoing;
or (iv) consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a receiver, trustee,

the United States Bankruptcy Code, an action seeking to appoint a trustee,
receiver, custodian, or conservator or liquidator, or any similar law, Federal
or state, now or hereafter in effect, and such action is approved by any court
of competent jurisdiction and the order approving the same shall not be vacated
or stayed within thirty (30) days from entry; or (vi) consents to the filing
of
any such petition or answer, or shall fail to deny the material allegations

affects, or reasonably may adversely affect, the validity, enforceability or
priority of the lien or security interest created by this Mortgage or the other
Loan Documents, or both; or (2) execution or other final process issues thereon
with respect to the Collateral; and (3) Mortgagor does not discharge the same
or
provide for its discharge in accordance with its terms, or procure a stay of
execution thereon, in any event within thirty (30) days from entry, or Mortgagor
shall not, within such period or such longer period during which execution
on
such judgment shall have been stayed, appeal therefrom or from the order, decree
or process upon or pursuant to which such judgment shall have been entered,
and
cause its execution to be stayed during such appeal, or if on

or
any other lien or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever is recorded against
Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property and is not removed by payment, bond or

Mortgagor in the manner permitted by Paragraph 8 above.

(k) Stock
in Mortgagor.
Except
as specifically provided for herein, if, without the prior written consent
of
Mortgagee, any shares of stock of Mortgagor are issued, sold, transferred,
conveyed, assigned, mortgaged, pledged, or otherwise disposed of so as to result
in change of control of Mortgagor, whether voluntarily or by operation of law,
and whether with or without consideration, or any agreement for any of the
foregoing is entered into; or, if Mortgagor is a partnership, any general
partnership interest or other equity interest in the partnership is sold,

whether voluntarily or by operation of law, and whether with or without
consideration, or any agreement for any of the foregoing is entered into, or

Statement.
Any
material statement or representation of Mortgagor contained in the materials
furnished to Mortgagee or prior or subsequent to the making of the loan secured
hereby are discovered to have been false or incorrect or incomplete in any
material respect.
15
(n) Default
Under Indemnity.
Mortgagor shall default under any obligation imposed upon Mortgagor by any
indemnity whether contained within any of the Loan Documents or

17. REMEDIES.
Upon the occurrence and continuance, if applicable, of any Default, Mortgagee
may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies, in addition
to all other rights and remedies otherwise available at law or in
equity:
(a) Other
Documents.
To
pursue any right or remedy provided by the Loan Documents.
(b) Acceleration.
To
declare the entire unpaid amount of the Debt together with all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon immediately due and payable with interest to be due
thereon at the Default Rate set forth in the Note.
(c) Foreclosure.
To
foreclose the lien of this Mortgage and obtain possession of the Collateral,
by
any lawful procedure.
(d) Code
Rights.
To
exercise any right or remedy available to Mortgagee as a secured party under
the
Uniform Commercial Code, with respect to any portion of the Collateral then
constituting property subject to the provisions of such Code; or Mortgagee,
at
its option, may elect to treat the Collateral as real property, or an interest
therein, for remedial purposes.
(e) Receiver.
To
apply, on ex parte motion, to any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a receiver to take charge of, manage, preserve, protect, complete
construction of, rent, and operate the Mortgaged Property and any of Mortgagor’s
business or businesses situated thereon, or any combination thereof, to collect
the Rents; to make all necessary and needed repairs; to pay all taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums and all other costs incurred in connection
with
the Mortgaged Property; and, after payment of the expenses of the receivership,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses related to the
enforcement of the Security Documents, and after compensation to the receiver
for any of the services described herein or pursuant hereto, to apply all net
proceeds derived therefrom in reduction of the Debt or in such other manner
as
the court shall direct. The appointment of such receiver shall be a matter
of
strict right to Mortgagee, regardless of the adequacy of the security or of
the
solvency of any party obligated for payment of the Debt. All expenses, fees
and
compensation incurred pursuant to any such receivership shall be secured by
the
lien of this Mortgage until paid. The receiver, personally or through agents,
may exclude Mortgagor wholly from the Mortgaged Property and have, hold, use,
operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property and may, in the name of
Mortgagor, exercise all of Mortgagor’s rights and powers to maintain, construct,
operate, restore, insure and keep insured the Mortgaged Property in such manner
as such receiver deems appropriate.
(f) Rents.
After
Mortgagee shall have given written notice to Mortgagor, to collect all rents,
issues, profits, revenues, income, proceeds, or other benefits from the
Collateral, or to pursue any remedy available under the Real Property Law of
the
State of New York, as amended, supplemented, or superseded from time to
time.
16
(g) Other
Security.
To
proceed to realize upon any and all other security for the Debt in such order
as
Mortgagee may elect; no such action, suit, proceeding, judgment, levy, execution
or other process will constitute an election of remedies by Mortgagee or will
in
any manner alter, diminish or impair the lien and security interest created
by
this Mortgage or any other Security Documents unless and until the Debt is
paid
in full.
(h) Advances.
To
advance such monies and take such other action as is authorized by Paragraphs
13
and 20 herein.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Mortgage or the Security Documents,
including without limitation the Note referred to therein, Mortgagee agrees
that
it shall not exercise any right or remedy provided for therein because of a
Default by Mortgagor unless Mortgagee shall first have given written notice
thereof to Mortgagor and Mortgagor shall have failed, in the event of a monetary
Default as described in Paragraph 16(a) and (b), to pay the outstanding sums
within a period of ten (10) calendar days after the giving of such notice of
Default, or in the event of a non-monetary Default as described in Paragraph
16(c), Mortgagor shall have failed within a period of thirty (30) days after
the
giving of such notice of Default to cure the non-monetary default; provided
that
if the non-monetary Default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days and
Mortgagor proceeds diligently with efforts to cure such default until it shall
be fully cured within no more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such
notice or such longer period as Mortgagee may specify, Mortgagee shall not
exercise any right or remedy provided herein until such cure period shall
expire; provided, further, that Mortgagee shall not be required to give any
such
notice or to allow any part of the cure period if (i) Mortgagor or any Guarantor
shall have filed a petition in bankruptcy or for re-organization or a xxxx
in
equity or otherwise initiated proceedings for the appointment of a receiver
of
its or their assets and such appointment or such receivership is not terminated
within thirty (30) days; or (ii) Mortgagee determines that its security may
be
imminently and materially threatened or impaired by reason of such Default.
Furthermore, any notice and grace period requirements contained elsewhere in
the
Mortgage and Security Documents including the Note secured thereby shall run
concurrently with the requirements contained in this Paragraph and not in
addition thereto.
18. WAIVER
OF
CERTAIN RIGHTS. Mortgagor will not claim, take or insist upon any benefit or
advantage of any present or future stay, extension, redemption or moratorium
law
that may affect Mortgagor’s obligations hereunder, or any law providing for the
valuation or appraisal of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof prior
to
any sale or sales that may be made under or by virtue of this Mortgage.
Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim under Mortgagor, waives, to the
extent that it lawfully may, all rights to have the Mortgaged Property and
any
other security for the Debt marshaled upon any foreclosure or otherwise.
Mortgagor hereby waives and renounces all homestead and exemption rights
provided for by the laws of the United States of America and of any state,
including New York, in and to the Mortgaged Property as against the collection
of the Debt, or any part thereof.
19. FURTHER
ASSURANCES. Mortgagor, from time to time, will execute, acknowledge, subscribe
and deliver to or at the direction of Mortgagee such documents and further
assurances as Mortgagee may reasonably require for the purpose of
evidencing,
17
perfecting
or confirming the lien and security interest created by this Mortgage, or the
security intended to be afforded by the Loan Documents, or both. Without
limitation of the foregoing, Mortgagor will defend, indemnify and hold Mortgagee
harmless with respect to any suit or proceeding in which the validity,
enforceability or priority of the lien or security interest, or both, is
endangered or contested, directly or indirectly, and will provide Mortgagee
with
such security for the defense of any such suit or proceeding as Mortgagee
reasonably may require. If Mortgagor fails to undertake the defense of any
such
claim in a timely manner, or fails to furnish Mortgagee with reasonable security
for such defense, or, in Mortgagee’s sole but reasonable determination, fails to
prosecute such defense with due diligence, then Mortgagee is authorized to
take,
at the expense of Mortgagor, all necessary and proper action in defense of
any
such claim, including the retention of legal counsel, the prosecution or defense
of litigation and the compromise or discharge of claims, including payment
of
all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. All costs, expenses and losses, if
any, so incurred by Mortgagee, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, regardless
of whether suit is brought and, if suit is brought, for all administrative,
trial and appellate proceedings, if any, will constitute advances by Mortgagee
as provided in Paragraph 13.
20. CUMULATIVE
RIGHTS AND NON-WAIVER. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to
Mortgagee by this Mortgage or in any of the other Loan Documents is intended
to
be exclusive of any other right or remedy; and each and every right and remedy
is cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy otherwise available.
Every right, power, privilege and remedy granted Mortgagee by this Mortgage
or
any of the other Loan Documents, or both, or otherwise available at law or
in
equity may be exercised by Mortgagee from time to time as often as Mortgagee
deems expedient until the Debt is paid in full. Mortgagee’s failure to insist at
any time upon the strict observance or performance by Mortgagor of any of the
provisions of this Mortgage or in any of the other Loan Documents, or to
exercise any right or remedy provided for in this Mortgage or in any of the
other Loan Documents, will not impair any such right or remedy or be construed
as a waiver or relinquishment thereof for the future. Receipt by Mortgagee
of
any payment required to be made pursuant to any of the Loan Documents with
knowledge of the breach of any provision of any of the Loan Documents will
not
constitute a waiver of such breach. In addition to all other remedies provided
in this Mortgage, Mortgagee will be entitled, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to injunctive relief in the case of a violation or attempted
or
threatened violation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents or to a
decree ordering performance of any of the provisions of any of the
foregoing.
21. JUDGMENT.
Mortgagee may seek and recover a judgment for all amounts due and payable in
accordance with the Note or under this Mortgage either before, after or during
the pendency of any other proceedings or action to obtain relief under or with
respect to any of the Loan Documents. Mortgagee’s right to seek and recover any
such judgment will not be affected by obtaining any other such relief. Mortgagee
will continue to be entitled to enforce payment of, and to seek and recover
a
judgment for, any portion of the debt remaining due and payable after the
application of any proceeds of any sale of the Collateral pursuant to law.
Neither the lien nor security interest of this Mortgage, nor any rights or
remedies of Mortgagee hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, will be
impaired in any way by the recovery of any judgment by
18
Mortgagee
against Mortgagor or any guarantor of the Debt, or by the levy of an execution
under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral, until the Debt is paid
in full.
22. RELEASES
AND EXTENSIONS BY MORTGAGEE. Mortgagee, from time to time, without notice to
any
person and without affecting the liability of Mortgagor or of any guarantor
or
of any other person (other than any person expressly released by Mortgagee
in
writing) for the payment of any of the Debt, and without affecting the priority
or extent of the lien and security interest of this Mortgage (except as to
property specifically released by Mortgagee in writing), may do any or all
of
the following: (i) release in whole or in part any person liable for payment
of
any or all of the Debt, or (ii) extend the time or otherwise alter the terms
of
payment of the Debt, in whole or in part, or (iii) accept additional or
substitute security of any kind, or (iv) release or otherwise deal with all
or
any portion of the Collateral.
23. NOTICES.
Any notice or demand that must or may be given or made in connection with this
Mortgage must be in writing and, unless receipt is expressly required, will
be
deemed given, delivered or made, as the case may be, when delivered by personal
delivery or when mailed by express mail, by overnight delivery service of a
nationally- recognized company, or by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, in any event, with sufficient postage affixed, and addressed
to the parties at the addresses written on the first page of this Mortgage
or on
the signature pages of this Mortgage. Such addresses may be changed by notice
pursuant to this Paragraph. Notice of change of address is effective only upon
receipt. All of the persons executing this Mortgage as Mortgagor severally
agree
that a single notice to Mortgagor in the manner provided in this Paragraph
will
be effective to bind each such person for all purposes.
24. ESTOPPEL
LETTERS. As and when, from time to time, requested by Mortgagee, and within
ten
(10) days after any such request, Mortgagor will execute and deliver to or
at
the direction of Mortgagee such estoppel letters certifying such matters
relating to this Mortgage or the Loan Documents, or both, as may reasonably
be
required.
25. TRANSFER.
Mortgagor may not sell, convey, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any
interest in all or any portion of the Collateral, or any ownership interest
in
Mortgagor or any guarantor, without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, which
consent may be withheld in Mortgagee’s sole discretion. Whether such offer is
voluntary or involuntary, or by operation of law (other than in connection
with
the death, disability or incompetency of any individual Mortgagor), any such
offer will be void as to Mortgagee, and constitute an immediate Default under
this Mortgage, without notice, in the sole discretion of Mortgagee. By consent
to any offer, sale, or conveyance hereunder shall not be deemed a consent to
any
subsequent offer, sale, or conveyance for which Mortgagee’s prior written
approval has not been obtained.
Notwithstanding
the above, Mortgagor may assign this Mortgage to an entity or affiliate of
the
Mortgagor without consent and only notice as long as such entity is controlled
and managed by Xxxx Xxxxxxx or any entity controlled and managed by Xxxx
Xxxxxxx. Subject to the foregoing, this Mortgage shall inure to the benefit
of
and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties.
19
26. GENERAL.
The provisions of this Mortgage inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its
successors and assigns, and bind all persons executing this Mortgage as
Mortgagor and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and
assigns, jointly and severally, and all persons now or hereafter claiming any
right, title and interest in and to any of the property, real, personal or
mixed, tangible or intangible, now or hereafter existing or any substitutions
or
replacements thereof and described in this Mortgage as the Collateral. Time
is
of the essence to this Mortgage and each of its provisions. The provisions
of
this Mortgage are to be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, regardless of where this
Mortgage is executed, delivered or breached, or where any payment or other
performance required by this Mortgage is made, where any action or other
proceeding involving this Mortgage is instituted, or whether the laws of the
State of New York otherwise would apply the laws of another jurisdiction; the
foregoing choice of law provisions will apply to the Loan Documents. The
provisions of the Loan Documents are severable at Mortgagee’s option so that if
any provision is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid
or
unenforceable, no other provision will be affected by such invalidity or
unenforceability, but will remain in force and effect according to its original
terms, if Mortgagee so elects. Wherever used in this Mortgage or the other
Loan
Documents, or both, and unless expressly provided otherwise: (i) use of the
singular includes the plural, and vice versa; (ii) use of one gender includes
all genders; (iii) use of the term “include” or “including” is always without
limitation; (iv) use of the words, “should,” “must” and “will” has the same
legal effect as the use of the word “shall”; (v) the term “day” means a banking
day which shall be a day on which Mortgagee and other banks are open for the
transaction of business, excluding any national holidays, and any performance
which would otherwise be required on a day other than a banking day shall be
timely performed in such instance, if performed on the next succeeding banking
day; (vi) any definition herein incorporating one or more documents or items
shall refer to such items “singularly and collectively”, and (vii) “person”
means any natural person or artificial entity having legal capacity. Paragraph
headings and subheadings are for indexing purposes only and are not to be used
to interpret, construe, apply or enforce the provisions of this Mortgage.
Mortgagor and Mortgagee intend the provisions of this Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents to be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced so as to
avoid
inconsistencies or conflicting results. This Mortgage may be amended only by
a
written instrument executed by Mortgagor and Mortgagee with the same formalities
as this Mortgage.
27. SATISFACTION.
The lien and security interest provided by the Loan Documents will continue
unimpaired and in full force and effect unless and until the Debt is paid in
full, whereupon such lien and security interest will be without further force
or
effect.
28. MORTGAGOR
AS TENANT HOLDING OVER. In the event of a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged
Property, Mortgagor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith
deliver possession to Mortgagee or any purchaser or purchasers at such sale
or
be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of the law of the State of
New
York applicable to tenants holding over.
29. TIME
OF
THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant,
agreement, and obligation of Mortgagor under this Mortgage and the other
Loan
20
Documents,
and any and all other instruments now or hereafter evidencing, securing or
otherwise relating to the Loan.
30. ORAL
MODIFICATION INEFFECTIVE. No term of this Mortgage or any other of the Loan
Documents, or such documents, may be waived, changed, modified, discharged,
or
terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which
enforcement of the waiver, change, modification, discharge, or termination
is
sought.
31. HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCES. Mortgagor covenants and agrees with Mortgagee that, throughout
the
term of the Note: (a) the Mortgaged Property shall be operated and maintained
in
compliance with all governmental or regulatory requirements; (b) Mortgagor
shall
maintain or procure all necessary permits, licenses, and certificates required
by Federal, state, and local laws throughout the Loan term; (c) all hazardous
or
toxic substances, within the definition of any applicable statute or regulation,
which may be used by any person for any purpose upon the Mortgaged Property,
shall be used or stored thereon only in a safe and approved manner, in
accordance with all industrial standards and all laws, regulations and
requirements for such storage promulgated by any applicable governmental agency
or authority; (d) other than as described in (c) above, the Mortgaged Property
will not be used for the purpose of storing such substances; and (e) other
than
as described in (c) above, no such storage or use will otherwise be allowed
on
the Mortgaged Property (whether through leases with tenants who might store
or
use hazardous substances or otherwise) which will cause, or which will increase
the likelihood of causing, the release of such hazardous or toxic substances
onto the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee of
any
failure to comply under this Paragraph or receipt of any notice of violation
or
third party complaint. Mortgagor hereby agrees to indemnify and save and hold
Mortgagee, as mortgagee under this Mortgage, harmless of and from all claims,
damages, loss, liabilities, penalties, fines, remedial action requirements,
and
enforcement actions, along with the costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by
Mortgagee in defending Mortgagor’s use, generation, transportation, and
disposal, release, or threatened release of hazardous substances, including
without limitation, asbestos-containing materials or damage whatsoever incurred
by Mortgagee, as mortgagee under this Mortgage, arising out of or by reason
of
any violation of any applicable statute or regulation for the protection of
the
environment which occurs upon the Mortgaged Property from and after the date
hereof, or by reason of the imposition of any governmental lien for the recovery
of environmental clean-up costs expended by reason of such violation, including
without limitation any lien arising pursuant to any so-called “Super Fund” or
“Super Lien” legislation. The foregoing indemnity and covenants of Mortgagor
shall not be applicable to any violations of law or any liability resulting
from
adverse environmental conditions in, on or about the Mortgaged Property created
or in existence prior to the date hereof (“Pre-existing Environmental
Conditions”). A default under this Paragraph shall constitute a Default under
this Mortgage. It is expressly acknowledged by Mortgagor that this
indemnification shall survive any foreclosure of the lien and security interest
of this Mortgage or the discharge of this Mortgage and shall inure to the
benefit of Mortgagee, as mortgagee under this Mortgage, its successors and
assigns.
32. ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENTS. At any time Mortgagee has a reasonable basis to suspect that a
violation of Mortgagor’s obligations set forth in Paragraph 31 has occurred or
in the event a Default by Mortgagor shall have occurred and be continuing beyond
any cure
21
period
applicable thereto, Mortgagee may, at its election, obtain one or more
environmental assessments of the Mortgaged Property prepared by a
geohydrologist, an independent engineer, or other qualified consultant or expert
approved by Mortgagee evaluating or confirming (i) whether any hazardous
substances are present in the soil or water at the Mortgaged Property and (ii)
whether the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property comply with all
applicable environmental laws relating to air quality, environmental control,
release of oil, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes and hazardous substances,
and any and all other applicable environmental laws. Environmental assessments
may include detailed visual inspections of the Mortgaged Property including,
without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry xxxxx,
and leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples, surface water samples,
and
ground water samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are
necessary or appropriate for a complete determination of the compliance of
the
Mortgaged Property and the use and operation thereof with all applicable
environmental laws. All such environmental assessments shall be at the sole
cost
and expense of Mortgagor. In the event it is determined that additional tests
and/or remediation are necessary as a result of the aforesaid assessments,
or in
the event such additional testing or remediation is recommended by the aforesaid
assessments, the Mortgagor agrees to immediately perform the tests or undertake
the remediation as recommended. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 8 shall
be
applicable to, or shall impose any obligation upon Mortgagor with respect to,
any Pre-existing Environmental Conditions.
33. MORTGAGE

to
an Approved Condominium (as hereinafter defined), the Mortgagor may obtain
the
release of the lien of this Mortgage on any Residential Unit (as hereinafter
defined) which the Mortgagor may convey to a third party (each such Residential
Unit being hereinafter referred to as a “Release Unit”) and the Mortgagee will
deliver to Mortgagor’s counsel prior to the closing of the conveyance of a
Release Unit (each a “Closing”) in escrow to hold a form of release, duly
executed and acknowledged by the Mortgagee, releasing the Release Unit from
the
lien of this Mortgage upon the following terms and conditions:

Mortgagor shall give the Mortgagee not less than three (3) business days prior
written notice which shall set forth the date, time and place set for the
Closing;
(d)

Mortgagee in connection with the Release of each Release Unit including, without
limitation, the fees and expenses of Mortgagee's legal counsel which shall
not
exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per Release Unit.
(B) As
used
herein the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i)
“Approved Condominium” shall mean a condominium regime approved by the New York
State Department of Law and formed pursuant to all applicable laws
22
and
regulations and consisting of one commercial unit covering space located on
the
ground floor of the Mortgaged Property and multiple residential units covering

not be deemed to have been formed unless and until (a) the Mortgagee shall
have
approved the form and content of all documents relating to the creation of
said
condominium including, without limitation, the offering plan, floor plans,
declaration of condominium and all other documents relating thereto, and (b)
all
of the units in the condominium have been subdivided into individual lots for
tax purposes.
(ii)
“Residential
Unit” shall mean each of the residential units in the Approved
Condominium.
34.
SUBORDINATION
TO DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM.
Upon
the
recording of the Declaration of Condominium in the New York City Register’s
Office for New York County, this Mortgage shall automatically become subordinate
to the Declaration of Condominium.
35. SUBORDINATION
TO OTHER LIENS
Upon
request of Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall execute and deliver a subordination
agreement which shall subordinate this Mortgage and all amendments,
modifications, consolidations, spreaders, and extensions thereof to any mortgage
obtained by Mortgagor to finance the acquisition and construction costs of
the
Mortgaged Property.
36. WAIVER
OF
JURY TRIAL. BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, MORTGAGOR AGREES THAT NEITHER MORTGAGOR,
NOR
ANY OF THEM OR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE OF MORTGAGOR (ALL OF WHOM ARE HEREINAFTER
REFERRED TO AS THE “PARTIES”) SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT,
PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM, OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS MORTGAGE OR ANY INSTRUMENT EVIDENCING, SECURING, OR RELATING
TO THE INDEBTEDNESS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCED HEREBY, ANY RELATED
AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT, ANY OTHER COLLATERAL FOR THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED
HEREBY OR THE DEALINGS OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES, OR
ANY
OF THEM. NONE OF THE PARTIES WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH
A
JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED, WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS
NOT
BEEN WARIVED. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH HAVE BEEN FULLY NEGOTIATED BY
THE
PARTIES WITH MORTGAGEE, AND THESE PROVISIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS.
MORTGAGEE HAS IN NO WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO THE PARTIES THAT THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL
