This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments and transfers made in Article 1 are also given for the purpose of securing the performance of all other obligations of Borrower contained herein and the performance of each obligation of Borrower contained in any renewal, extension, amendment, modification, consolidation, change of, or substitution or replacement for, all or any part of this Security Instrument, the Note, or the Other Security Documents (collectively, the “Other Obligations”). Borrower’s obligations for the payment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Obligations.”
Section 2.2. PAYMENTS. Unless payments are made in the required amount in immediately available funds at the place where the Note is payable, remittances in payment of all or any part of the Debt shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Lender in funds immediately available at the place where the Note is payable (or any other place as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, may have established by delivery of written notice thereof to Borrower) and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall not cure any then-existing Event of Default (defined below).

Borrower covenants and agrees that:
Section 3.1. PAYMENT OF DEBT. Borrower will pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note and in this Security Instrument.
Section 3.2. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in (a) the Note and (b) all and any of the documents other than the Note or this Security Instrument now or hereafter executed by Borrower and/or others and by or in favor of Lender, which wholly or partially secure or guaranty payment of the Note (the “Other Security Documents”), are hereby made a part of this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.
Section 3.3. INSURANCE.
(a) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, for the mutual benefit of Borrower and Lender, shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, during the entire term of this Security Instrument policies of insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:
(i) comprehensive all risk insurance (“Special Form”) including, but not limited to, loss caused by any type of windstorm or hail on the Improvements and the Personal Property, (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Security Instrument shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation, but the amount shall in no event be less than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions or to be written on a no co-insurance form; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) for all such insurance coverage and (D) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, coverage for loss due to operation of law in an amount equal to the Full Replacement Cost, coverage for demolition costs and coverage for increased costs of construction. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Note or (2) the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended or such lesser amount as Lender shall require; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity, provided that the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) above shall be on terms consistent with the Special Form policy required pursuant to this subsection (i). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Security Instrument, the insurance coverage described in the foregoing subparagraphs (y) and (z) shall be required (1) as of the date hereof only if determined to be necessary by Lender based upon its reasonable evaluation of third party reports, and (2) at any time hereafter in the event subsequent third party reports indicate a change in the condition of or circumstances surrounding the Property;
7
(ii) rental loss insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; (C) in an annual aggregate amount equal to 100% of all rents or estimated gross revenues from the operation of the Property (as reduced to reflect actual vacancies and expenses not incurred during a period of Restoration) and covering rental losses for a period of at least eighteen (18) months, after the date of the casualty, and notwithstanding that the Policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and the Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income returns to the same level it was prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the date of the completion of the Restoration, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period and a reasonable vacancy factor acceptable to Lender. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection (the “Rent Loss Proceeds”) shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower immediately following Lender’s receipt thereof, provided no Event of Default is then in existence; provided, however, (i) if a Cash Management Period (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) then exists, such proceeds shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) and disbursed in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Cash Management Agreement (provided, further, that in the event such Rent Loss Proceeds are paid in a lump sum in advance, Lender shall hold such Rent Loss Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing escrow account and Lender shall estimate the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused by the applicable casualty, shall divide the applicable aggregate Rent Loss Proceeds by such number of months and shall disburse such monthly installment of Rent Loss Proceeds from such escrow account into the Cash Management Account each month during the performance of such Restoration), and (ii) that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iii) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form referenced in subsection (i), above, does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance, otherwise known as Owner Contractor’s Protective Liability, covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the commercial general liability insurance policy in (v) below; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
(iv) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if steam boilers or other pressure-fixed vessels are in operation, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;
8
(v) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit of not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in the aggregate and One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until reasonably required to be changed by Lender as provided in subsection 3.3(b) below; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Section 13.1 to the extent the same is available;

(vii) umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (ii) above, including, but not limited to, supplemental coverage for workers’ compensation and automobile liability, which umbrella liability coverage shall apply in excess of the automobile liability coverage in clause (vi) above;
(viii) so-called “dramshop” insurance, if applicable, or other liability insurance required in connection with the sale of alcoholic beverages; and
(ix) any insurance coverage required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Environmental Agreement;
(x) environmental insurance (the “Environmental Insurance”) in the same amount and on the same terms (including, without limitation, terms relating to deductibles) as that certain environmental insurance policy maintained by Borrower as of the date hereof (provided, that, Borrower shall only be obligated to maintain the same until the earlier to occur of (y) the Remediation Completion (defined below) (z) the expiration of the current term of such Environmental Insurance in 2013); and
(xi) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance such as sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 3.3(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and (i) shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies reasonably approved by Lender, and authorized or licensed to do business in the state where the Property is located, with claims paying ability/financial strength ratings of “AA” or better by S&P (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) and Fitch (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) and “Aa2” or better by Xxxxx’x (as
9
defined in the Cash Management Agreement) and general policy ratings of A or better and financial classes of X or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc.; (ii) shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as an additional insured, as its interests may appear; (iii) in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery and, if required pursuant to the provisions hereof, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so called New York Non Contributory Standard Mortgagee Clause and (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU NS), or their equivalents, naming Lender as the person to which all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iv) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (v) shall be maintained throughout the term of this Security Instrument without cost to Lender; (vi) shall be assigned and, if requested in writing by Lender, the originals (or duplicate originals certified to be true and correct by the applicable insurer or its agent) delivered to Lender; and (vii) shall contain such provisions, consistent with the provisions hereof, as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest including, without limitation, endorsements or clauses providing that (I) neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co insurer under said Policies, (II) that Lender shall receive at least ten (10) days prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any Policy, (III) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned, (IV) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums (defined below) thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder, and (V) such Policies do not exclude coverage for acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage. Any blanket Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.3(a). Borrower shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the new Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided that such Insurance Premiums have not been paid to Lender or Lender’s servicing agent pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof). If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any apparently expiring Policy, then Lender may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like; provided, however, such increased coverages shall not be requested more frequently than once every three years, and shall only be requested if such coverage is commercially available at commercially reasonable rates and such rates are consistent with those paid in respect of comparable properties in comparable locations, and Lender also reasonably determines that either (I) prudent owners of real estate comparable to the Property are maintaining same or (II) prudent institutional lenders (including without limitation, investment banks) to such owners are generally requiring that such owners maintain such insurance.
10
(c) If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender (the “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.4 of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. In case of loss covered by Policies, Lender may either (1) settle and adjust any claim, or (2) allow Borrower to agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid upon the loss; provided, that (A) provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may adjust losses aggregating not in excess of the Threshold Amount (defined below) if such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner and (B) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall not settle or adjust any such claim under clause (1), above, without the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In any case Lender shall and is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for any such insurance proceeds; and the reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.
Section 3.4. PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC. (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.4(b) and 3.5 hereof, Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges, including without limitation vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Taxes”), all ground rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Other Charges”), and all charges for utility services provided to the Property prior to the same becoming delinquent. Borrower will deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lender’s written request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge against the Property arising out of such Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges. Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes and Other Charges have been deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall furnish to Lender, promptly upon Lender’s written request, paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges.
(b) Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any of the Taxes, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents, (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any other mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt affecting

the Property, (iii) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Taxes from Borrower and from the Property or Borrower shall have paid all of the Taxes under protest, (iv) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (v) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, (vi) Borrower shall have deposited with Lender adequate reserves for the payment of the Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless Borrower has paid all of the Taxes under protest, and (vii) Borrower shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding to insure the payment of any contested Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon.
Section 3.5. ESCROW FUND. Except as provided below, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the first day of each calendar month (a) one twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) one twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the amounts in (a) and (b) above shall be called the “Escrow Fund”). Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has obtained knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes and Other Charges directly from the appropriate taxing authority. The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will timely apply the Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof, Lender shall promptly return any excess to Borrower. In disbursing such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. No earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make deposits to the Escrow Fund for Insurance Premiums pursuant to this Section 3.5 so long as (i) no Event of Default occurs and is continuing hereunder, (ii) Borrower pays all Insurance Premiums by no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the delinquency thereof, and (iii) Borrower provides Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums by no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the delinquency thereof. Upon the occurrence of a failure of any of the conditions specified in clauses (i) through (iii) above, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s demand therefor, commence making the deposits to the Escrow Fund for Insurance Premiums required pursuant to this Section 3.5 commencing with the next Monthly Payment Date (as defined in the Note), which payments shall continue until Borrower corrects each such failure.
Section 3.6. CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall (a) promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Land and/or the Improvements, (b) deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers
12
served in connection with such proceedings and (c) shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney in fact coupled with an interest, with exclusive powers to collect, receive and apply to the Debt (or provide to Borrower to pay for Restoration) any award or payment for any taking accomplished through a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and, at any time during which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to make any compromise or settlement in connection therewith. All condemnation awards or proceeds shall be either (a) paid to Lender for application against the Debt or (b) applied to Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Security Instrument and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. Any award or payment to be applied to the reduction or discharge of the Debt or any portion thereof may be so applied whether or not the Debt or such portion thereof is then due and payable. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award or payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been or may be sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the unpaid portion of the Debt.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.6 or this Security Instrument to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of Section 4.4, below, Lender may elect to (y) apply the net proceeds of any condemnation award (after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same) in reduction of the Debt in such order and manner as Lender may elect, whether due or not, or (z) make the proceeds available to Borrower for the restoration or repair of the Property. Any implied covenant in this Security Instrument restricting the right of Lender to make such an election is waived by Borrower. In addition, Borrower hereby waives the provisions of any law prohibiting Lender from making such an election.
Section 3.7. LEASES AND RENTS. (a) Borrower does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assign to Lender, Borrower’s right, title and interest in all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment to Lender shall not be construed to bind Lender to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Lender. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Lender such additional instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, as may hereafter be requested by Lender to further evidence and confirm such assignment. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this Section 3.7, Lender grants to Borrower a revocable license (revocable only as provided herein) to operate and manage the Property and to collect, retain, and enjoy the Rents pursuant to (and as such license may be limited by) the terms and conditions contained in the Restricted Account Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to contrary contained
13
herein and notwithstanding the rights granted to Lender pursuant to this Section 3.7, all Rents shall be deposited, held and applied pursuant to the provisions of the Restricted Account Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Acceleration Default, the license granted to Borrower herein shall automatically be revoked (subject to automatic reinstatement upon Borrower’s cure of the applicable Event of Default), and Lender shall, subject to the provisions of the Other Security Documents, immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents, whether or not Lender enters upon or takes control of the Property. Subject to the provisions of the Other Security Documents, Lender is hereby granted by Borrower the right, at its option, during any period of revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Property in person, by agent or by court appointed receiver to collect the Rents. Any Rents collected during the revocation of the license shall, subject to any contrary provision of the Other Security Documents, be applied by Lender against the Debt, in such order and priority as it may determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Section 3.7(a) and those contained in that certain Assignment of Leases and Rents executed by Borrower in connection with the Loan (the “ALR”), the terms and conditions of the ALR shall control and govern.
(b) All Leases entered into after the date hereof shall be written on (i) the standard form of lease which has been approved by Lender (the “Standard Form”) or (ii) an Acceptable Chain Tenant Form (defined below). Commercially reasonable changes may be made to the Lender-approved standard lease or an Acceptable Chain Tenant Form without the prior written consent of Lender in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business. All Leases (including any Acceptable Chain Tenant Form) shall provide that they are subordinate to this Security Instrument (subject to Lender’s agreement (by Lender’s acceptance of this Security Instrument hereby given) not to disturb such tenant’s tenancy while they are in compliance with the terms of their Lease) and that the tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender. As used herein, the term “Acceptable Chain Tenant Form” shall mean the form of lease promulgated by a prospective national or regional chain tenant that generally insists, on a programmatic or institutional basis (although an occasional exception to such requirement shall not cause this provision to fail), on using its own form of lease; provided, that, the provisions contained in such form of lease (i) are commercially reasonably for properties similar to the Property, (ii) do not contain any rights, options (including, without limitation, rights to purchase the Property or any interest therein) or obligations that would be unacceptable to a prudent secondary market lender substantially similar to Lender and (iii) do not have a Material Adverse Effect (defined below). As used herein, the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean a material adverse effect on (i) the Property, (ii) the business, profits, prospects, management, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, (iii) the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of the lien of this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or (iv) the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.
(c) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all material obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower shall receive thereunder; (iii) shall not
14
collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits and prepaid first and last month’s rent collected in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business); and (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of the lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents. Borrower (A) shall enforce all material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessees thereunder to be observed or performed, short of termination thereof and short instituting litigation (provided, that, Borrower (1) shall be obligated to so institute litigation if the failure to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect and (2) may institute litigation and terminate a Lease only in the event of (aa) a monetary event of default under such Lease or (bb) a material non-monetary default under such Lease where the tenant fails to cure such event of default within the cure period set forth in the subject Lease); (B) may alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in any material respect without the prior written consent of Lender, provided that such alterations, modifications or changes are commercially reasonable alterations, modifications or changes agreed to in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business; (C) shall not, without Lender’s consent, convey or transfer or suffer or permit a conveyance or transfer of the Property or of any interest therein so as to effect a merger of the estates and rights, or a termination or diminution of the obligations of, tenants under the Leases; (D) may approve or consent to any assignment of or subletting under the Leases in accordance with the terms of such Leases, without the prior written consent of Lender; and (E) shall not cancel the Leases or accept a surrender thereof, except that any Lease may be canceled if at the time of the cancellation thereof a new Lease is entered into on substantially the same terms or more favorable terms as the canceled Lease.
(d) Borrower, as the lessor thereunder, may enter into proposed lease renewals and new leases without the prior written consent of Lender, provided each such proposed lease: (i) shall have an initial term of not less than one (1) year or greater than ten (10) years; (ii) shall provide for rental rates (including rates during any renewal or option term or rates applicable to any expansion space) comparable to then-existing (as of the time of entering into such new lease or lease renewal) local market rates that would be agreed to in an arm’s length transaction; (iii) shall be to a tenant which Borrower reasonably determines to be capable and reputable; and (iv) shall comply with the provisions of subsection (b) above (except that any lease renewals may be on the same form as the original lease). Borrower may enter into a proposed lease which does not satisfy all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) immediately above, provided Lender consents in writing to such proposed lease, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower expressly understands that any and all proposed leases are included in the definition of “Lease” or “Leases” as such terms may be used throughout this Security Instrument, the Note and the Other Security Documents. Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases and any amendments or other agreements pertaining thereto.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, enter into, renew (other than in accordance with its express terms), extend (other than in accordance with its express terms), terminate (for reasons other than non-payment of rent), reduce rents under, permit an assignment or subleasing of (other than, in each
15
case, in accordance with its express terms) or otherwise amend, modify or waive any material or economic provisions of, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Major Lease or any instrument guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Major Lease. As used herein, the term “Major Lease” shall mean (i) any Lease which, individually or when aggregated with all other Leases at the Property with the same tenant or any Affiliate (defined below) of such tenant, demises 15,000 square feet or more of the Property’s net rentable square footage, (ii) any Lease which contains any option, offer, right of first refusal or other similar entitlement to purchase all or any portion of the Property (which such rights shall be deemed to be exclusive of any rights under any Lease to extend the term thereof or to lease additional space at the Property) or (iii) any instrument guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Lease meeting the requirements of (i) or (ii) above. As used above, the term “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any tenant under any Lease at the Property, any affiliate of such tenant, unless such affiliate (i) operates under a separate trade name and under a separate corporate or other similar division from such tenant and (ii) is otherwise treated as a separate tenant under a separate Lease by Borrower.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent Lender’s prior approval is required for any leasing matters set forth in this Section, Lender shall have ten (10) Business Days from receipt of written request and all required information and documentation relating thereto in which to approve or disapprove such matter, provided that such request to Lender is marked in bold lettering with the following language: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A DEED OF TRUST BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER”. In the event that Lender fails to respond to the leasing matter in question within such time, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given for all purposes. Borrower shall provide Lender with such information and documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender, including, without limitation, lease comparables and other market information as reasonably required by Lender. Lender shall not be entitled to any fee or reimbursement in connection with any such review and approval process in excess of the reasonable fees or reimbursements customarily charged by lenders or servicers of secondary market loans similar to the Loan for actions similar to the foregoing. Further, in no event will Borrower be responsible for any attorneys’ fees in connection with such review and approval process except to the extent that any such attorney is engaged to (i) negotiate modifications to such proposed Lease required in order to make such Lease acceptable to Lender or (ii) review material deviations in such Lease from the Standard Form.
(g) Intentionally Omitted.
(h) Intentionally Omitted.
(i) Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written request therefore and a copy of the executed corresponding Lease, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”) with respect to such Lease and any other Leases with Tenants appearing on the rent roll
16
of the Property as of the date hereof. If the form of the SNDA shall be prescribed by the Lease in question, and Lender shall have approved (or been deemed to have approved (it being understood that all of the Leases on the rent roll of the Property as of the date hereof are deemed approved)) such Lease, Lender shall execute and deliver the SNDA in the form prescribed by such Lease. In the case of any other Lease or any Lease as to which Lender’s approval is not required pursuant to the terms hereof where such tenant thereunder requests an SNDA, the SNDA to be executed and delivered by Lender shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, as such form may be modified to reflect reasonable changes thereto negotiated by Lender and such tenant. Lender agrees to negotiate in good faith the terms of the SNDA with any tenant under any Lease. All reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection with the negotiation of changes to such SNDA shall be payable by Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s written request therefore, whether or not the SNDA is ultimately executed and/or recorded. No attorney’s fees will be charged for merely conforming such SNDA to the terms of the Lease in question (as opposed to material changes to the substantive content thereof).
Section 3.8. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause the Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. The Improvements and the Personal Property shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Personal Property) without the consent of Lender. Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be affected by any proceeding of the character referred to in Section 3.6 hereof and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land. Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof which may have a Material Adverse Effect. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Lender.
Section 3.9. WASTE. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Property or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way impair the value of the Property or the security of this Security Instrument. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Land, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.
Section 3.10. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Borrower shall promptly comply with all existing and future federal, state and local laws, orders, ordinances, governmental rules and regulations or court orders affecting or which may be interpreted to affect the Property and/or Borrower, or the use thereof, including, without limitation, the Prescribed Laws (defined below) (each of the foregoing, collectively, “Applicable Laws”). Borrower shall from time to time,
17
upon Lender’s request, based on Lender’s belief, in the exercise of Lender’s reasonable judgment, that the Property is in violation of any Applicable Law, provide Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Property complies with the Applicable Laws which Lender believes the Property is in violation of or is exempt from compliance with such Applicable Laws. Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any notice related to a violation of any Applicable Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Applicable Laws. As used herein, the term “Prescribed Laws” shall mean, collectively, (a) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) (The USA PATRIOT Act), (b) Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001, and relating to Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, (c) the International Emergency Economic Power Act, 50 U.S.C. §1701 et. seq. and (d) all other Applicable Laws relating to money laundering or terrorism.
Section 3.11. BOOKS AND RECORDS. (a) Borrower shall keep adequate books and records of account in accordance with Borrower’s current methods (which such methods are tax basis accounting) or such other method as may be acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, in each case consistently applied (each or any of the foregoing, the “Approved Accounting Method”) and furnish to Lender:
(i) prior to Securitization (defined below), monthly (but in no event for a period of more than two (2) years from the date hereof) and, thereafter, quarterly, rent rolls signed, dated and certified by Borrower (or an officer, general partner or principal of Borrower if Borrower is not an individual) to be true and complete to the best knowledge of such person, detailing the names of all tenants of the Improvements, the portion of Improvements occupied by each tenant, the base rent and any other charges payable under each Lease and the term of each Lease, including the expiration date, and any other information as is reasonably required by Lender, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month or quarter (as applicable);
(ii) prior to Securitization (defined below), monthly (but in no event for a period of more than two (2) years from the date hereof) and, thereafter, quarterly, operating statements of the Property certified by Borrower (or an officer, general partner or principal of Borrower if Borrower is not an individual) to be true and complete to the best knowledge of such person, detailing the total revenues received, total expenses incurred, total capital expenditures (including, but not limited to, all capital improvements (including, but not limited to, tenant improvements)), leasing commissions and other leasing costs, total debt service and total cash flow, and if available, any quarterly operating statement prepared by an independent certified public accountant, within thirty (30) days after the close of each calendar month or quarter (as applicable); and
(iii) an annual balance sheet and profit and loss statement of Borrower, prepared and certified by Borrower, and, if available, any financial statements prepared by an independent certified public accountant within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal year of Borrower.

(c) Borrower and its affiliates shall furnish Lender with such other additional financial or management information as may, from time to time, be reasonably required by Lender.
(d) Borrower shall provide Lender with the following financial statements if requested by Lender (it being understood that Lender shall request (i) full financial statements only if it anticipates that the principal amount of the Loan at the time of Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan at any time during which the Loan is included in a Securitization does, equals or exceeds 20% of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included in the Securitization and (ii) summaries of such financial statements only if the principal amount of the Loan at any such time equals or exceeds 10% of such aggregate principal amount):
(i) As of the date of the closing of the Loan (the “Closing Date”), a balance sheet with respect to the Property for the two most recent fiscal years of Borrower or Sponsor (each such year, a “Fiscal Year”), meeting the requirements of Section 210.3-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act (defined below) and statements of income and statements of cash flows with respect to the Property for the three most recent Fiscal Years, meeting the requirements of Section 210.3-02 of Regulation S-X, and, to the extent that such balance sheet is more than 135 days old as of the Closing Date, interim financial statements of the Property meeting the requirements of Section 210.3-01 and 210.3-02 of Regulation S-X (all of such financial statements, collectively, the “Standard Statements”); provided, however, to the extent the Property that has been acquired by Borrower from an unaffiliated third party (an “Acquired Property”) and as to which the other conditions set forth in Section 210.3-14 of Regulation S-X for the provision of financial statements in accordance with such Section have been met (other than any Property that is a hotel, nursing home or other property that would be deemed to constitute a business and not real estate under Regulation S-X and as to which the other conditions set forth in Section 210.3-05 of Regulation S-X for provision of financial statements in accordance with such Section have been met ( a “Business Property”)), in lieu of the Standard Statements otherwise required by this Section, Borrower shall instead provide the financial statements required by such Section 210.3-14 of Regulation S-X ; provided, further, however, with respect to any Business Property which is an Acquired Property, Borrower shall instead provide the financial statements required by Section 210.3-05 (such Section 210.3-14 or Section 210.3-05 financial statements referred to herein as (“Acquired Property Statements”)).

19
Regulation S-X (provided, that if for such corresponding period of the most recent Fiscal Year Acquired Property Statements were permitted to be provided hereunder pursuant to paragraph (i) above, Borrower shall instead provide Acquired Property Statements for such corresponding period). If requested by Lender, Borrower shall also provide “summarized financial information,” as defined in Section 210.1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X, with respect to such quarterly financial statements.
(iii) Not later than 60 days after the end of each Fiscal Year following the Closing Date, a balance sheet of the Property as of the end of such Fiscal Year, meeting the requirements of Section 210.3-01 of Regulation S-X, and statements of income and statements of cash flows of the Property for such Fiscal Year, meeting the requirements of Section 210.3-02 of Regulation S-X.

(v) In the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation S-X or Applicable Laws are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such combination of Acquired Property Statements and/or Standard Statements as may be necessary for such compliance.
(vi) Any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as shall be required pursuant to Regulation S-X or other Applicable Laws in connection with any Disclosure Document or any filing under or pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to a Securitization (hereinafter an “Exchange Act Filing”) or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender to meet disclosure, Rating Agency or marketing requirements.
(vii) All financial statements provided by Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.11(d) shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation S-X and other Applicable Laws. If required in order to comply with Regulation S-X (given the size of the Loan as described in the introductory paragraph of this Section 3.11(d)), all, financial statements relating to a Fiscal Year shall be audited by the independent accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Regulation S-X and all other Applicable Laws, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation S-X and all other Applicable Laws, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent
20
accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All other financial statements shall be certified by the chief financial officer of Borrower, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph.
Section 3.12. PAYMENT FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS. Borrower will promptly pay when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically fabricated materials incurred in connection with the Property and never permit to exist (subject to Borrower’s right to contest any such matter as described below) beyond the due date thereof in respect of the Property or any part thereof any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the liens and the security interests hereof. Nothing contained herein shall, however, affect or impair Borrower’s ability to diligently and in good faith contest any lien or xxxx for labor or materials (or any federal tax lien of the type), provided that any lien placed upon the Property must be fully and irrevocably discharged (by bond or otherwise) at least 30 days prior to the date such lien could otherwise be foreclosed upon pursuant to Applicable Law.
Section 3.13. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall observe and perform each and every term to be observed or performed by Borrower pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Property, or given by Borrower to Lender for the purpose of further securing an obligation secured hereby and any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.
Section 3.14. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.
(a) Borrower shall (i) promptly perform and observe all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by it under the agreement between Manager and Borrower pursuant to which the manager of the Property (the “Manager”) is employed to perform management services for the Property (the “Management Agreement”) and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default or other material notice received by Borrower under the Management Agreement; (iv) promptly give notice to Lender of any notice or information that Borrower receives which indicates that Manager is terminating the Management Agreement or that Manager is otherwise discontinuing its management of the Property; and (v) promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the material covenants required to be performed and observed by Manager under the Management Agreement. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed): (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the Management Agreement or otherwise replace Manager or enter into any other management agreement with respect to the Property; (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement; (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under the Management Agreement; or (iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies under, the Management Agreement in any material respect. In the event that Borrower replaces Manager at any time during the term of Loan, such Manager shall be a Qualified Manager (defined below).
21
(b) In the event that (i) an Event of Default occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure period (if any) or waived, (ii) Manager shall become a debtor in a proceeding under any applicable Insolvency Laws (as defined in the Note), or (iii) a material default by Manager has occurred and is continuing under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace, notice or cure periods thereunder, then, upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i) through (iii) above, Borrower shall, at Lender’s direction, immediately terminate the Management Agreement and enter into a new property management agreement reasonably acceptable to Lender with a management company reasonably acceptable to Lender, which such new property management company must (i) be a Qualified Manager, (ii) not be an affiliate of, or controlled by, Lender, and (iii) have not provided (nor agreed to provide) Lender (or its affiliates) with any compensation for being so named. In the event Lender directs Borrower to engage a professional third party property manager, then Borrower shall engage such a property manager pursuant to an agreement reasonably acceptable to Lender, and Borrower and such manager shall execute an agreement acceptable to Lender conditionally assigning Borrower’s interest in such management agreement to Lender and subordinating manager’s right to receive fees and expenses under such agreement while the Debt remains outstanding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person who serves as an independent director for affiliates of Borrower may serve as an Independent Director so long as (A) such person is appointed by a nationally recognized provider of independent directors (such as CT Corporation) or (B) such person derives less than 5% of their total annual income from their service as independent director for Borrower and each applicable affiliate of Borrower.
(ii) The organizational documents of each SPE Component Entity (if any) or Borrower (as applicable) shall provide that the board of directors or board of managers of such SPE Component Entity or Borrower (as applicable) shall not take any action which, under the terms of any certificate of incorporation, by-laws or any voting trust agreement with respect to any common stock, requires an unanimous vote of the board of directors or managers of such SPE Component Entity or Borrower (as applicable) unless at the time of such action there shall be at least one member of the board of directors or managers who is an Independent Director. Such SPE Component Entity or Borrower (as applicable) will not, without the unanimous written consent of its board of directors or managers including each Independent Director, on behalf of itself or Borrower, (i) file or consent to the filing of any petition, either voluntary or involuntary, to take advantage of any applicable Insolvency Laws; (ii) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or any similar official; (iii) take any action that might cause such entity to become insolvent; or (iv) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
(d) (I) In the event that Borrower or any SPE Component Entity is an Acceptable Delaware LLC, the limited liability company agreement of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) (the “LLC Agreement”) shall provide that (i) upon the occurrence of any event that causes the sole member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) (“Member”) to cease to be the member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) (other than (A) upon an assignment by Member of all of its limited liability company interest in Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) and the admission of the transferee in accordance with the Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement, or (B) the resignation of Member and the admission of an additional member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement), any person acting as Independent Director of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) shall, without any action of any other Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be the member of Borrower or

The LLC Agreement shall further provide that (i) Special Member shall automatically cease to be a member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) upon the admission to Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) of a substitute Member, (ii) Special Member shall be a member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) and has no right to receive any distributions of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) assets, (iii) pursuant to Section 18-301 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Act”), Special Member shall not be required to make any capital contributions to Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) and shall not receive a limited liability company interest in Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable), (iv) Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) and (v) except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating to, Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable), including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or conversion of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable); provided, however, such prohibition shall not limit the obligations of Special Member, in its capacity as Independent Director, to vote on such matters required by the Loan Documents or the LLC Agreement. In order to implement the admission to Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) of Special Member, Special Member shall execute a counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior to its admission to Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable).
(II) Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of Member shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member in Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable), agree in writing (i) to continue Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable), effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) in Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable). Any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any applicable Insolvency Laws shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower or
28
such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) shall continue without dissolution. The LLC Agreement shall provide that each of Member and Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) upon the occurrence of any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any applicable Insolvency Laws, or the occurrence of an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable).
(e) Borrower shall not change or permit to be changed (a) Borrower’s name, (b) Borrower’s identity (including its trade name or names), (c) Borrower’s principal place of business set forth on the first page of this Security Instrument, (d) the corporate, partnership or other organizational structure of Borrower, each SPE Component Entity (if any), or Guarantor, (e) Borrower’s state of organization, or (f) Borrower’s organizational identification number, without in each case notifying Lender of such change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change and, in the case of a change in Borrower’s or any SPE Component Entity’s structure, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender. In addition, Borrower shall not change or permit to be changed any organizational documents of Borrower or any SPE Component Entity (if any) if such change would adversely impact the covenants set forth in this Section 4.3. Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or financing statement amendment required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender listing the trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the Property, and representing and warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade name with respect to the Property. If Borrower does not now have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, or if the organizational identification number assigned to Borrower subsequently changes, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such organizational identification number or change.

Section 4.4. RESTORATION AFTER CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION. In the event of a casualty or a taking by eminent domain, the following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds (defined below) shall be less than the amount equal to five percent (5%) of the original aggregate principal amount of the Loan (the “Threshold Amount”) and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Threshold Amount, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Subsection 4.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b). The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 4.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Subsection 3.3(a)(i), (iii), (iv) and (x) of this Security Instrument as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same or (ii) the net amount of all awards and payments received by Lender with respect to a taking referenced in Section 3.6 of this Security Instrument, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same, whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for the Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met: (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents or an event which after the passage of time or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default; (B) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, reasonably satisfactory to Lender; (C) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration; (D) Borrower shall deliver to Lender the proceeds of the insurance described in Subsection 3.3(a)(iii) hereof (which such proceeds shall be held and disbursed in accordance with Subsection 3.3(a)(iii) hereof); (E) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion; (F) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note at the Applicable Interest Rate (as defined in the Note), which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Subsection 3.3(a)(ii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower which are deposited with Lender prior to the commencement of the Restoration; (G) Lender shall be satisfied that, upon the completion of the Restoration and following a rent-up period from the time such Restoration is complete through the date which is three (3) months prior to the expiration of the rental loss insurance coverage maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii) above, the (1) fair market value of the Property, as reasonably determined by Lender, is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Property immediately prior to the casualty or condemnation, and (2) gross cash flow and the net cash flow of the Property will be restored to a level sufficient to cover all carrying
30
costs and operating expenses of the Property, including, without limitation, a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined on Schedule 1 hereto) of at least 1.00 to 1.00; (H) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), (2) one (1) year after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, or (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such taking, as applicable; (I) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; (J) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws (defined below) and the Environmental Agreement); (K) such fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements; (L) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than thirty-five percent (35%) of each of (i) fair market value of the Property as reasonably determined by Lender, and (ii) rentable area of the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are condemnation proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of each of (i) the fair market value of the Property as reasonably determined by Lender and (ii) rentable area of the Property is taken and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property; and (M) the Required Leases (defined below) shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration. Lender agrees to use due diligence and good faith efforts to process its determination of Borrower’s compliance with the requirements of this Paragraph 4.4(b)(i) as promptly as possible, recognizing the need for a quick determination in order to avoid delay in Restoration of the Property. As used above, the term “Required Leases” shall mean Leases encumbering, in the aggregate, 65% of the rentable square footage at the Property.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender, and until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower on a monthly basis during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed to date (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or written notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior reasonable review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been
31
engaged, shall be subject to prior reasonable review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower. Lender shall not require Borrower to pay attorney’s fees and expenses in connection therewith unless such process involves unusual circumstances that cannot reasonably be handled by Lender (or its Servicer) in-house and which otherwise reasonably justify the need for counsel.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” as used in this Subsection 4.4(b) shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that 50% of the required Restoration has been completed. There shall be no Casualty Retainage with respect to costs actually incurred by Borrower for work in place in completing the last 50% of the required Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 4.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender in an interest-bearing account before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.
32
(vii) With respect to Restorations related to casualties, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds, and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 4.4(b)(vii) may, at Lender’s election, be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the principal balance of the Debt whether or not then due and payable, either in whole or in part, or disbursed to Borrower.

Borrower will pay, from the date of an Event of Default through the earlier of the date upon which the Event of Default is cured or the date upon which the Debt is paid in full, interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (a) four percent (4%) plus the Applicable Interest Rate (as defined in the Note), and (b) the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay or Lender may charge and collect (the “Default Rate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Borrower becomes liable for interest at the Default Rate under this Section 10.3 due to the occurrence of an Event of Default which cannot reasonably be cured by Borrower, and which, in Lender’s good faith, reasonable determination, (i) was not committed intentionally and knowingly by Borrower to circumvent the requirements of the Note, this Security Instrument, and/or the other Loan Documents, and (ii) does not have a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower shall only be liable for
55
interest at such Default Rate for a period not to exceed six (6) months unless Lender is in the process of actively pursuing a foreclosure action (or non-judicial foreclosure) as a result of such Event of Default.
Article 11. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
Section 11.1. REMEDIES. Except as expressly and specifically limited hereby or by the Other Security Documents, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower agrees that Trustee or Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Trustee or Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Trustee or Lender: (a) declare the entire unpaid Debt to be immediately due and payable; (b) institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this Security Instrument under any applicable provision of law in which case the Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner; (c) with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by Applicable Law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien and security interest of this Security Instrument for the balance of the Debt not then due, unimpaired and without loss of priority; (d) sell for cash or upon credit the Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Borrower therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entity or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law; (e) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein, in the Note or in the Other Security Documents; (f) recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents; (g) apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard for the solvency of Borrower or of any person, firm or other entity liable for the payment of the Debt; (h) subject to Applicable Law, and following notice to Borrower (which may only be delivered during the existence of an Acceleration Default), the license granted to Borrower under Section 1.2 shall be revoked (subject to reinstatement as provided herein) and Lender may enter into or upon the Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Borrower and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and Borrower agrees to surrender possession of the Property and of such books, records and accounts to Lender upon demand, and thereupon Lender may (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Lender deems advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, xxx for, collect and, subject to the Cash Management Agreement,
56
receive all Rents of the Property and every part thereof; (v) require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be occupied by Borrower; (vi) require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of the Debt, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other expenses in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Lender, its counsel, agents and employees; (i) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the Personal Property or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Personal Property, and (ii) request Borrower at its expense to assemble the Personal Property and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Personal Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower; (j) apply any sums then deposited in the Escrow Fund and any other sums held in escrow or otherwise by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument or any Other Security Document to the payment of the following items in any order in its discretion: (i) Taxes and Other Charges; (ii) Insurance Premiums; (iii) any other items or expenses for which such escrow was established; or (iv) during the continuance of an Acceleration Default, (A) interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note, (B) the unpaid principal balance of the Note; or (C) all other sums payable pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents, including without limitation advances made by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument; (k) during the existence of an Acceleration Default, surrender the Policies maintained pursuant to Article 3 hereof, collect the unearned Insurance Premiums and apply such sums as a credit on the Debt in such priority and proportion as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, and in connection therewith, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as agent and attorney in fact (which is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) for Borrower to collect such Insurance Premiums; (l) pursue such other remedies as Lender may have under Applicable Law; (m) apply the undisbursed balance of any Net Proceeds Deficiency deposit, together with interest thereon, to the payment of the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem to be appropriate in its discretion; or (n) under the power of sale hereby granted, Lender shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, including any Personal Property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by Applicable Law.
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority. In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise, Lender may bid for and acquire the Property and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the Obligations the amount of the bid made therefor, after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale, the cost of any enforcement proceeding hereunder and any other sums which Lender is
57
authorized to deduct under the terms hereof, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.1 to the contrary, if any Event of Default as Subsection 10.1(g) shall occur, the entire unpaid Debt shall be automatically due and payable, without any further notice, demand or other action by Lender.
Section 11.2. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The purchase money, proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Property, or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Lender after the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. Upon any foreclosure sale or sales of all or any portion of the Property under the power of sale herein granted, Lender may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Debt as a credit to the purchase price.
Section 11.3. RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 11.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
Section 11.4. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Lender has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property.
Section 11.5. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
Section 11.6. EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine the records, books, management and other papers of Borrower and each other “Indemnitor” under the Indemnity Agreement delivered in connection herewith which reflect upon their financial condition, at the Property or at any
58
office regularly maintained by Borrower or such other Indemnitor or where the books and records are located. Lender and its agents shall have the right to make copies and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers. In addition, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine and audit the books and records of Borrower and such other Indemnitor pertaining to the income, expenses and operation of the Property during reasonable business hours at any office of Borrower and such other Indemnitor where the books and records are located.
Section 11.7. OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the Other Security Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents.
(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Lender’s possession.
(c) Trustee or Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Trustee or Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Trustee or Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Trustee or Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Trustee or Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Trustee and Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity (except to the extent limited by the express terms and provisions hereof).
Section 11.8. RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. Lender may release any portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.
59
Section 11.9. VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in compliance with Applicable Laws, Lender may impose additional requirements upon Borrower in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.
Section 11.10. RIGHT OF ENTRY. Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times.

Section 18.2. USURY LAWS.

Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option in good faith and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (i) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies (which such amendments shall include, without limitation, (1) providing that the Equity Collateral (defined below) be certificated (such that the holder of such certificated Equity Collateral would have “protected purchaser” status under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code) and/or (2) providing that any restrictions on the actions of Mezzanine Borrower, any SPE Component Entity and/or Borrower (such as the need to obtain the consent of any constituent parties of Mezzanine Borrower prior to taking any actions) shall be of no further force or effect upon a foreclosure of the Equity Collateral), (ii) creating a single purpose, bankruptcy remote entity satisfying the requirements of 4.3 hereof and of the Rating Agencies (the “Mezzanine Borrower”), which such Mezzanine Borrower shall (A) own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity ownership interests in Borrower (the “Equity Collateral”), and (B) together with such constituent equity owners of such Mezzanine Borrower or Borrower as may be designated by Lender, execute such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be required by Lender in connection with the mezzanine loan (including, without limitation, a promissory note evidencing the mezzanine loan and a pledge and security agreement pledging the Equity Collateral to Lender as security for the mezzanine loan); and (iii) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies and other materials as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies.

Section 22.12. SPECIAL STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROVISIONS.
(a) In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 22.12 and any provision of this Security Instrument, then the provisions of this Section 22.12 shall control.
(b)
(i) Should Lender elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale contained herein, Lender shall notify Trustee and shall, if required, deposit with Trustee the Note, the original or a certified copy of this Security Instrument, and such other documents, receipts and evidences of expenditures made and secured hereby as Trustee may require. Upon receipt of such notice from Lender, Trustee shall cause to be recorded and delivered to Borrower such notice as may then be required by law and by this Security Instrument. Trustee shall, without demand on Borrower, after lapse of such time as may then be required by law and after recordation of such Notice of Default and after Notice of Sale has been given as required by law, sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate lots or parcels or items as Trustee shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without limitation, Borrower, Trustee or Lender, may purchase at such sale, and Borrower hereby covenants to warrant and defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers.
(ii) After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Security Instrument, including, without limitation, costs of evidence of title and actual and customary attorneys’ fees of Trustee or Lender in connection with a sale as provided in subparagraph (a) above, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of such sale (i) first, to the payment of all sums expended by Lender under the terms of any of the Other Security Documents and not yet repaid, together with interest on such sums at the Default Rate as set forth in the Note, (ii) second, to the payment of all sums expended under the terms hereof not then repaid, with accrued interest at the rate of interest equal to the rate then in effect under the Note, or if the Note has been repaid, the rate that would have been in effect under the Note, (iii) third, to the payment of all other sums then secured hereby, and (iv) fourth, the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
(c) Lender may from time to time rescind any Notice of Default or Notice of Sale before any Trustee’s sale in accordance with the laws of the State of California. The exercise by Lender of such right of rescission shall not constitute a waiver of any breach or default then existing or subsequently occurring, or impair the right of Lender to execute and deliver to Trustee, as above provided, other declarations or notices of default to satisfy the obligations of this Security Instrument or secured hereby, nor otherwise affect any provision, covenant or condition of any Loan Document or any of the rights, obligations or remedies of Trustee or Lender hereunder or thereunder.
(d) Upon written request of Lender stating that all sums secured hereby have been paid, upon surrender to Trustee of the Note and the original or a certified copy of this Security Instrument for cancellation and retention, and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall fully re-convey, without warranty, the entire remaining Property then held hereunder. The recitals in such re-conveyance of any matters of facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The grantee in such re-conveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.”
(e) This Security Instrument constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to those portions of the Property consisting of goods which are or are to become fixtures relating to the Property.
(f) Borrower represents and warrants that the Property has not been designated as Border Zone Property under the provisions of California Health and Safety Code, Sections 25220 et seq. or any regulation adopted in accordance therewith, and there has been no occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that is reasonably likely to cause the Property or any part thereof to be designated as Border Zone Property.
(g) With respect to fixtures, Lender or Trustee may elect to treat same as either real property or personal property and proceed to exercise such rights and remedies applicable to the categorization so chosen. Lender may proceed against the items of real property and any items of Property separately or together in any order whatsoever, without in any way affecting or waiving Lender’s rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code, this Security Instrument or the Note. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s rights and remedies under this Security Instrument and the Note shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right and remedy now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or by agreement of the parties.
(h) Borrower agrees that this Security Instrument constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in the Recorder’s Office with respect to any and all fixtures included within the term “Land” or “Property” as used herein and with respect to any goods and other personal property that may now be or hereafter become fixtures. The names and mailing addresses of the debtor (Borrower) and the secured party (Lender) are set forth on the introductory paragraph of this Security Instrument. Borrower is the record owner of the Property. The personal property described above is the collateral covered by this financing statement. Any reproduction of this Security Instrument or any other security agreement or financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

(j) Borrower hereby requests that a copy of a Notice of Default and a copy of any Notice of Sale given pursuant to this Security Instrument be mailed to Borrower at the address set forth herein. Borrower may, from time to time, change the address to which Notice of Default and Notice of Sale hereunder shall be sent by both filing a request therefore, in the manner provided by California Civil Code, Section 2924b, and sending a copy of such request to Lender in accordance with the provisions of Article 16 hereof.

Trustee may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower and to Lender. Lender may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and select a successor trustee.

Such substitute trustee shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of the duties of Trustee hereunder unless required by Lender. The procedure provided for in this paragraph for substitution of Trustee shall be in addition to and not in exclusion of any other provisions for substitution, by law or otherwise.
Section 23.2. TRUSTEE’S FEES. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by Trustee and Trustee’s agents and counsel in connection with the performance by Trustee of Trustee’s duties hereunder and all such costs, fees and expenses shall be secured by this Security Instrument.

With the approval of Lender, Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to select, employ, and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Lender) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution, and interpretation of the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through his/her agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his/her duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee, and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or
accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or bad faith, and (iv) any and all other lawful action as Lender may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Lender’s rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Property for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting an action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual expenses incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee’s duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of Trustee’s services hereunder as shall be rendered.
Section 23.4. RETENTION OF MONEY. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by applicable law) and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by Trustee hereunder.
Section 23.5. PERFECTION OF APPOINTMENT. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any nature be required from Borrower by any Trustee or substitute trustee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to Trustee or substitute trustee such estates rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by Trustee or substitute trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Borrower.
Section 23.6. SUCCESSION INSTRUMENTS. Any substitute trustee appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or his/her predecessor in the rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Lender or of the substitute trustee, Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute trustee so appointed in Trustee’s place.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the day of , 200[ ] by and among [ ] (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”), [ ] (“Tenant”) and [ ] (“Landlord”).
RECITALS:
A. Lender is the present owner and holder of a certain Deed of Trust and Security Agreement (the “Security Instrument”) given by Landlord to Lender which encumbers the fee estate of Landlord in certain premises described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”) and which secures the payment of certain indebtedness owed by Landlord to Lender evidenced by the Note (as defined in the Security Instrument);
B. Tenant is the holder of a leasehold estate in a portion of the Property under and pursuant to the provisions of a certain [Lease] dated [ , 200[ ] between Landlord, as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant (the “Lease”); and
C. Tenant has agreed to subordinate the Lease to the Security Instrument and Lender has agreed to grant non-disturbance to Tenant under the Lease on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
AGREEMENT:
For good and valuable consideration, Tenant, Lender and Landlord agree as follows:
1. Subordination. The Lease and all of the terms, covenants and provisions thereof and all rights, remedies and options of Tenant thereunder are and shall at all times continue to be subject and subordinate to the lien and terms of the Security Instrument, including without limitation, all renewals, increases, modifications, spreaders, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to all sums secured thereby and advances made thereunder with the same force and effect as if the Security Instrument had been executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution and delivery of the Lease.
2. Non-Disturbance. If any action or proceeding is commenced by Lender for the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the sale of the Property, Tenant shall not be named as a party therein unless such joinder shall be required by law, provided, however, such joinder shall not result in the termination of the Lease or disturb the Tenant’s possession or use of the premises demised thereunder, and the sale of the Property in any such action or proceeding and the exercise by Lender of any of its other rights under the Note or the Security Instrument shall be made subject to all rights of Tenant under the Lease, provided that at the time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding or at the time of any such sale or exercise of any such other rights (a) the term of the Lease shall have commenced pursuant to the provisions thereof, (b) Tenant shall be in possession of the premises demised under the Lease, (c) the Lease
shall be in full force and effect and (d) Tenant shall not be in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease or of this Agreement on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed.
3. Attornment. If Lender or any other subsequent purchaser of the Property shall become the owner of the Property by reason of the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or by reason of any other enforcement of the Security Instrument (Lender or such other purchaser being hereinafter referred as “Purchaser”), and the conditions set forth in Section 2 above have been met at the time Purchaser becomes owner of the Property, the Lease shall not be terminated or affected thereby but shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Purchaser and Tenant upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Lease and in that event, Tenant agrees to attorn to Purchaser and Purchaser by virtue of such acquisition of the Property shall be deemed to have agreed to accept such attornment, provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be (a) liable for the failure of any prior landlord (any such prior landlord, including Landlord and any successor landlord, being hereinafter referred to as a “Prior Landlord”) to perform any of its obligations under the Lease which have accrued prior to the date on which Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Purchaser’s obligations under the Lease to correct any conditions of a continuing nature that (i) existed as of the date Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property and (ii) violate Purchaser’s obligations as landlord under the Lease; provided further, however, that Purchaser shall have received written notice of such omissions, conditions or violations and has had a reasonable opportunity to cure the same, all pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease, (b) subject to any offsets, defenses, abatements or counterclaims which shall have accrued in favor of Tenant against any Prior Landlord prior to the date upon which Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property, except for those that are specifically provided for in the Lease, (c) liable for the return of rental security deposits, if any, paid by Tenant to any Prior Landlord in accordance with the Lease unless such sums are actually received by Purchaser, (d) bound by any payment of rents, additional rents or other sums which Tenant may have paid more than one (1) month in advance to any Prior Landlord unless (i) such sums are actually received by Purchaser or (ii) such prepayment shall have been expressly approved of by Purchaser, (e) unless set forth in any instrument or document provided to Lender prior to Lender’s execution hereof, bound by any agreement terminating or amending or modifying the rent, term, commencement date or other material term of the Lease, or any voluntary surrender of the premises demised under the Lease, made without Lender’s or Purchaser’s prior written consent prior to the time Purchaser succeeded to Landlord’s interest (provided, however, Purchaser’s consent is not required for a termination of the Lease exercised pursuant to the original terms of the Lease) or (f) bound by any assignment of the Lease or sublease of the Property, or any portion thereof, made prior to the time Purchaser succeeded to Landlord’s interest other than if pursuant to the provisions of the Lease. In the event that any liability of Purchaser does arise pursuant to this Agreement, such liability shall be limited and restricted to Purchaser’s interest in the Property and shall in no event exceed such interest. Alternatively, upon the written request of Lender or its successors or assigns, Tenant shall enter into a new lease of the Premises with Lender or such successor or assign for the then remaining term of the Lease, upon the same terms and conditions as contained in the Lease (including without limitation any renewal options), except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.
4. Notice to Tenant. After notice is given to Tenant by Lender that the Landlord is in default under the Note and the Security Instrument and that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lender pursuant to the terms of the assignment of leases and rents executed and delivered by Landlord to Lender in connection therewith, Tenant shall thereafter pay to Lender or as directed by the Lender, all rentals and all other monies due or to become due to Landlord under the Lease and Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments to Lender and hereby releases and discharges Tenant from any liability to Landlord on account of any such payments.
5. Intentionally Omitted.
6. Notice to Lender and Right to Cure. Tenant shall notify Lender of any default by Landlord under the Lease if the default is of such a nature as to give Tenant a right to terminate the Lease, reduce the rent or to credit or offset any amounts against future rents, and agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary, no notice of cancellation thereof or of an abatement shall be effective unless Lender shall have received notice of default giving rise to such cancellation or abatement and (i) in the case of any such default that can be cured by the payment of money, until thirty (30) days shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice or (ii) in the case of any other such default, until a reasonable period for remedying such default shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice, provided Lender, with reasonable diligence, shall have commenced and continued to remedy such default or cause the same to be remedied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Lender shall have no obligation to cure any such default and (ii) in the event that any aforesaid default cannot, by its nature, be cured by Lender prior to Lender’s gaining possession of Landlord’s interest in the Property, the aforesaid “reasonable period for remedying such default” shall be deemed to include such time as is required for Lender to gain possession of Tenant’s interest in the Property.
7. Notices. All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been properly given (i) upon delivery, if delivered in person with receipt acknowledged by the recipient thereof, (ii) one (1) Business Day (hereinafter defined) after having been deposited for one (1) day overnight delivery with any reputable overnight courier service, or (iii) three (3) Business Days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service and sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Agreement shall be construed without such provision. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a single Agreement.

13. Limitations on Purchaser’s Liability. In no event shall the Purchaser, nor any heir, legal representative, successor, or assignee of the Purchaser have any personal liability for the obligations of Landlord under the Lease and should the Purchaser succeed to the interests of the Landlord under the Lease, Tenant shall look only to the estate and property of any such Purchaser in the Property for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money in the event of any default by any Purchaser as landlord under the Lease, and no other property or assets of any Purchaser shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies under or with respect to the Lease; provided, however, that the Tenant may exercise any other right or remedy provided thereby or by law in the event of any failure by Landlord to perform any such material obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may offset against rent due under the Lease the amount of any judgment obtained against any Purchaser.
