shall mean the average of London Interbank Offered Rates (in U.S. dollar
deposits) for a term of one month determined solely by Lender as of each Rate
Adjustment Date. On each Rate Adjustment Date, Lender will obtain the LIBOR
Rate from the appropriate Bloomberg display page available as of the close of
business announced on the last business day of the month immediately preceding
the Rate Adjustment Date. If Bloomberg ceases publication or ceases to publish
the LIBOR Rate, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the
LIBOR Rate and provide notice thereof to Borrower. The LIBOR Rate may or may
not be the lowest rate based upon the market for U.S. dollar deposits in the
London Interbank Eurodollar Market at which Lender prices loans on the date on
which the LIBOR Rate is determined by Lender as set forth above.
1.04 LIBOR UNASCERTAINABLE. (a) If (i) on any date on which the
LIBOR Rate would otherwise be set, Lender shall have determined in good faith
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A)
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate or
(B) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the
London Interbank Eurodollar Market at which Lender prices loans on the date on
which the LIBOR Rate is determined by Lender hereunder, or (ii) at any time
Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that the making, maintenance or funding of
any part of the loan evidenced by this Note has been made impracticable or
unlawful by Lender's compliance in good faith with any law or guideline or
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof or with any request or
directive of any such governmental authority (whether or not having the force
of law); then, and in any such event, Lender may notify Borrower of such
determination. Upon the date specified by Lender in such notice (which shall
not be earlier than the date such notice is given), Lender's obligation to
charge interest to Borrower at the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended until Lender
shall notify Borrower of Lender's determination in good faith (which
determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) that the
circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exists.
(b) If Lender notifies Borrower of a determination under
subsection (a) above, the LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the
"Index" of the weekly average yield on United States Treasury Securities
adjusted to a constant maturity of one year, as made available by the Federal
Reserve Board forty-five (45) days prior to each Rate Adjustment Date.
1.05 ADJUSTMENT DUE TO CALCULATIONS. If Lender at any time
determines, in its sole but reasonable discretion, that it has miscalculated
the amount of the Applicable Interest Rate (whether because of a
miscalculation of the LIBOR Rate or otherwise), then Lender shall notify
Borrower of the corrected amount of the monthly payment and Applicable
Interest Rate, and (a) if the corrected Applicable Interest Rate represents an
increase in the applicable monthly payment, Borrower shall, within ten (10)
days thereafter, pay to Lender any sums that Borrower would have otherwise
been obligated under this Note to pay to Lender had the amount of the
Applicable Interest Rate not been miscalculated, or (b) if the corrected
amount of the Applicable Interest Rate results in an overpayment by Borrower
to Lender, and no Event of Default (as hereafter defined) has then occurred
and is continuing, Lender shall thereafter pay to Borrower the sums that
Borrower would not have otherwise been obligated to pay to Lender had the
amount of the Applicable Interest Rate not been miscalculated or, at Lender's
option, Lender may credit such amounts against Borrower's outstanding or next
ensuing payment obligations hereunder.
1.06 INCREASED COSTS. (a) Borrower shall, from time to time upon
demand by Lender, pay to Lender as additional interest all amounts necessary
to reimburse Lender for any increase in the cost to Lender of agreeing to make
or making the indebtedness evidenced by this Note which may arise from (i) any
change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or
increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (ii) Lender's compliance with any guideline or request from any
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law). Lender shall
notify Borrower in writing of the amount of any such increased costs, which
Lender shall calculate in good faith, and such calculation shall be conclusive
and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
2
(b) If (i) any law, or guideline, interpretation or application
thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive of any
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) now existing
or hereafter adopted (A) subjects Lender to any tax or changes the basis of
taxation with respect to this Note or payments by Borrower of principal,
interest or other amounts due from Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents (as hereafter defined) (except for taxes on the overall net income
or overall gross receipts of Lender imposed as a result of a present or former
connection between the jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority
imposing such tax and Lender; provided, that this exclusion shall not apply to
a connection arising solely from Lender having executed, delivered, performed
its obligations under or received a payment under, or enforced this Note or
any of the other Loan Documents), or (B) imposes upon Lender any other
condition or expense with respect to this Note, or the making, maintenance or
funding of any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any security
therefor, and (ii) the result of any occurrence of the foregoing is to
increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense
(including, without limitation, loss of margin) upon Lender with respect to
this Note, or the making, maintenance or funding of any part of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby or any security therefor, by an amount which
Lender deems in good faith to be material, Lender may from time to time notify
Borrower of the amount determined in good faith (using any averaging and
attribution methods) by Lender (which determination shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error) to be necessary to compensate Lender for such
imposition,
(c) If Borrower is by law prohibited from paying any amount due
to Lender under subsections (a) or (b) above, Lender may elect to declare the
unpaid balance hereof and all interest accrued thereon due and payable within
five (5) days after written notice to Borrower.
2. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.
2.01 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Borrower shall pay
principal and interest under this Note as follows:
(a) Commencing on the first day of August, 2000 ("First Payment
Date"), and continuing on the first day of each and every successive month
thereafter (each a "Payment Date") through and including the Payment Date
immediately prior to the Maturity Date (defined below), monthly payments of
accrued interest based on the Applicable Interest Rate (determined as of the
immediately preceding Rate Adjustment Date); and
(b) On the first day of July, 2004 ("Maturity Date"), the entire
outstanding principal balance hereof, together with all accrued but unpaid
interest thereon and any other amounts due under the Note, the Security
Instruments or the Other Security Documents (hereafter defined) shall be due
and payable in full.
2.02 PAYMENT OF SHORT INTEREST. If this Note is executed on a
date other than the first day of a calendar month, Borrower shall pay to
Lender, contemporaneously with the execution of this Note, an interest payment
calculated by multiplying (a) the number of days from and including the date
of this Note to and including the last day of such month (b) by a daily rate
based on the Applicable Interest Rate calculated for a 360 day year (the
"Interest Shortfall").
3
2.03 METHOD OF PAYMENT. Each payment due hereunder shall not be
deemed received by Lender until received on a Business Day (as hereafter
defined) in Federal funds immediately available to Lender prior to 2:00 p.m.
local time at the place then designated by Lender. Any payment received on a
Business Day after the time established by the preceding sentence, shall be
deemed to have been received on the immediately following Business Day for all
purposes. "Business Day" for purposes of this Note shall mean all days other
than Saturday or Sunday and legal holidays on which Federal banks within the
State of New York are closed. In the event a Payment Date is not a Business
Day, said Payment Date shall be extended to the next immediately succeeding
Business Day.
2.04 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Payments under this Note shall be
applied first to the payment of late fees and other costs and charges due in
connection with this Note, as Lender determines in its sole, but reasonable,
discretion, then to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest, and then to
reduction of the outstanding principal balance (in inverse order of maturity
whether or not then due), but such application shall not reduce the amount of
the fixed monthly installments required to be paid hereunder. No principal
amount repaid may be reborrowed. All amounts due under this Note shall be
payable without setoff, counterclaim or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.05 PREPAYMENT. (a) The principal balance of this Note may not
prepaid, in whole or in part, prior to July 1, 2002 (the "Lockout Date").
(b) On or after the Lockout Date, but only on a Payment Date,
the principal balance of this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part (as
hereinafter provided), provided (i) Borrower so notifies Lender in writing no
more than sixty (60) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
intended date of such prepayment, and (ii) such prepayment is accompanied by
all accrued interest and all other outstanding amounts then due hereunder and
under the Loan Documents. Partial prepayments of this Note are permitted only
in minimum amounts of at least $100,000.00.
(c) If any prepayment is made hereunder without the prior notice
required by subsection (i) above, then, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) thirty (30) days unearned interest computed on the
outstanding principal balance of this Note so prepaid, or (ii) unearned
interest computed on the outstanding principal balance of this Note so prepaid
for the period from, and including, the date of prepayment through the
Maturity Date.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary,
Borrower's notice of prepayment in accordance with subsection (b) above shall
be irrevocable, and the principal balance to be prepaid shall be absolutely
and unconditionally due and payable on the date specified in such notice,
provided, however, Borrower may revoke its notice of prepayment in the event
(x) Borrower sends Lender a written notice of revocation at least ten (10)
Business Days prior to the date of intended prepayment and (y) Borrower pays
to Lender all of Lender's out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
anticipation of said prepayment.
2.06 INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
3. SECURITY; LOAN DOCUMENTS. The indebtedness evidenced by this
Note and the obligations created hereby (including without limitation the
amounts authorized by Section 4 to be collected by Lender when due hereunder)
are secured by, among other things, a first mortgage,
4
security interest and lien on certain real and personal property collateral of
Borrower, tangible and intangible, as described more particulary in those
certain deeds of trust or mortgages (individually, as applicable, a "Security
Instrument" and collectively the "Security Instruments") from Borrower to
Lender, dated as of date hereof. All other documents to or of which Lender is
a party or a beneficiary now or hereafter evidencing, securing, guarantying,
modifying or otherwise relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, and all
extensions, renewals and modifications thereof, are collectively referred to
herein as the "Other Security Documents". The Security Instruments together
with this Note and the Other Security Documents are collectively referred to
herein as the "Loan Documents".
4. DEFAULT.
4.01 EVENT OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following
shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Note: (a)
if any payment of principal and interest or any other payment required under
this Note is not received by Lender on or before five (5) days after the date
such payment is due (except that no grace period is provided for the payment
of principal and interest due on the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of
indebtedness following the occurrence of an Event of Default); or (b) if any
default should occur under any Security Instrument or any of the Other
Security Documents which is not fully cured following applicable notice or
prior to the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period contained
herein, in the Security Instruments or in the Other Security Documents. Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, at Lender's option, the outstanding
principal balance of this Note, together with all unpaid interest accrued
thereon and all other sums due hereunder or under the Security Instruments or
any Other Security Documents, shall, without notice or prior demand,
immediately become due and payable.
4.02 LATE CHARGES. If any payment is not received by Lender on or
before the date on which such payment originally was due (as such due date may
be extended by applicable grace period, if any), then, in addition to any
default interest payments due hereunder, Borrower also shall pay to Lender a
late charge in an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount of such
overdue payment to defray the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and
processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of
the use of the delinquent payment. Such late charge shall be immediately due
and payable, without notice or demand therefor.
4.03 DEFAULT RATE. If this Note is not paid in full on or before
the Maturity Date or the date on which the due date of the indebtedness has
been accelerated pursuant to the provisions hereof, the unpaid principal and
accrued interest and other amounts then due shall bear interest at a rate per
annum ("Default Rate") equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5.0%) in
excess of the Applicable Interest Rate or (b) the maximum rate of interest, if
any, which may be charged or collected from Borrower under applicable law. In
addition, Lender shall have the right, without acceleration of the
indebtedness, to collect interest at the Default Rate on any payment due
hereunder (including without limitation late charges and fees for legal
counsel) which is not received by Lender on or before the date on which such
payment originally was due (as such due date may be extended by applicable
grace period, if any). Interest at the Default Rate shall be immediately due
and payable from the date specified herein and shall accrue until all Events
of Default have been fully cured or full payment is received, as applicable.
5
4.04 INTEREST ON JUDGMENTS. Interest shall accrue on any judgment
obtained by Lender in connection with the enforcement or collection of this
Note until such judgment amount is paid in full at a rate equal to the greater
of (a) the Default Rate or (b) the legal rate applicable to judgments within
such jurisdiction; provided, however, that interest shall not accrue at a rate
in excess of the maximum rate of interest, if any, which may be charged or
collected from Borrower under applicable law.
4.05 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES; ATTORNEY FEES. The remedies of Lender
in this Note, the Security Instruments and in the Other Security Documents, or
at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued
singly, successively or together in Lender's sole discretion and as often as
occasion therefor shall arise. If Borrower's obligations under this Note, the
Security Instruments or any of the Other Security Documents are enforced by
Lender through an attorney-at-law, or any payment due under this Note, the
Security Instruments or the Other Security Documents is collected by or
through an attorney-at-law or collection agency, Borrower agrees to pay all
out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in connection therewith, including, but
not limited to, reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel (whether
with respect to a retained firm or Lender's in-house staff) and collection
agency costs, whether or not suit be brought. No provision of this Section 4
shall be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date on which
any required payment is due (subject to the applicable grace period, if any),
nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of
the occurrence of an Event of Default. The payments required under this
Section 4 shall be in addition to, and shall in no way limit, any other rights
and remedies provided for in this Note, the Security Instruments or any of the
Other Security Documents, nor any other remedies provided by law or in equity,
and shall be added to the principal evidenced by this Note and deemed secured
by the Security Instruments and Other Security Documents.
5. LIMITATIONS ON RECOURSE. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Note, the liability of Borrower and of any general
partner, principal or member of Borrower to pay the indebtedness evidenced by
this Note and for the performance of the other agreements, covenants and
obligations contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be limited
as set forth in Article 15 of the Security Instruments.
6. NO USURY. This Note is subject to the express condition that
at no time shall Borrower be required or obligated to pay interest (or any
other amount agreed to be paid hereunder which shall be deemed to be interest)
at a rate which would subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as
a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is
permitted by applicable law to pay. If, from any circumstance whatsoever,
Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest (or any other
amount agreed to be paid hereunder shall be deemed to be interest) at a rate
in excess of such maximum rate, then the amount to be paid immediately shall
be reduced to such maximum rate, and, as required by applicable law, all
previous payments in excess of such maximum shall be deemed to have been
payments in reduction of the principal balance owing under this Note in the
inverse order of maturity (whether or not then due) or, at the option of
Lender, be paid over to Borrower and not to the payment of interest. All sums
paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of
the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated
term of this Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest
on account of said indebtedness does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of
interest from time to time in effect and
6
applicable to this Note for so long as the Note is outstanding. This Section
will control all agreements between Borrower and Lender in connection with
this Note.
7. GENERAL CONDITIONS.
7.01 NO WAIVER BY LENDER. No failure to accelerate the debt
evidenced hereby nor failure or delay in exercising any other right or remedy
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, or any acceptance of a
partial or past due payment, or indulgences granted from time to time shall be
construed (i) as a novation of this Note or as a reinstatement of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby, (ii) as a waiver or impairment of Lender's
right of acceleration or any other right or remedy available to Lender upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (iii) as
a waiver of Lender's right thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with
the terms of this Note, the Security Instruments or any of the Other Security
Documents; and Borrower hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or
rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which
would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing. No
extension of the time for payment of any amount due under this Note, the
Security Instruments or any of the Other Security Documents made by Lender's
agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment thereof
shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original
liability of Borrower under this Note or any such other person, either in
whole or in part unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing.
7.02 BORROWER'S WAIVERS. Borrower, for itself and all others who
may become liable for payment of all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced
by this Note, hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, protest, and
notice of dishonor, protest, nonpayment, demand, intent to accelerate, and
acceleration. Borrower, for itself and all others who may become liable for
payment of all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, hereby
further waives and renounces, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all
rights to the benefits of any moratorium, reinstatement, marshalling,
forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, exemption
and homestead now or hereafter provided by the Constitution and laws of the
United States of America and of each state thereof, both as to party and
property (real and personal), against the enforcement and collection of the
obligations evidenced by this Note, the Security Instruments or the Other
Security Documents.
7.03 UNCONDITIONAL PAYMENT. If any payment received by Lender
hereunder shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a
voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under any bankruptcy, insolvency
or other debtor relief law, then the obligation to make such payment shall
survive any cancellation or satisfaction of this Note or return thereof to
Borrower and shall not be discharged or satisfied with any prior payment
thereof or cancellation of this Note, but shall remain a valid and binding
obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and
such payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand. No release of
any security for this Note or any party liable for payment of this Note shall
release or affect the liability of Borrower or any other party who may become
liable for payment of all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by this
Note. Lender may release any guarantor, surety or indemnitor of this Note from
liability, in every instance without the consent of Borrower hereunder and
without waiving any rights which Lender may have hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents or under applicable law or in equity against any party
not so released.
7
7.04 AUTHORITY. Borrower represents that Borrower has full power,
authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
pursuant to this Note, that the execution, delivery and performance of this
Note has been duly authorized, that the person executing this Note on
Borrower's behalf has authority to do so, and that this Note, once executed by
Borrower, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Borrower,
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
7.05 NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENT. Borrower agrees that this Note shall
be deemed a negotiable instrument, even though this Note, absent this
paragraph, may not otherwise qualify as a negotiable instrument under
applicable law.
7.06 SALE OF LOAN BY LENDER: Lender shall have the right to
transfer, sell or assign this Note, the Security Instruments and the Other
Security Documents, and the Obligations hereunder.

matter hereof and thereof, and supercede all prior discussions and agreements
(oral or written) relative hereto and thereto which are not contained herein

to all provisions of this Note.
8.03 MODIFICATION. Neither this Note nor any of the other Loan
Documents may be changed, waived, supplemented, discharged or terminated
orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but
only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement

writing. No person other than a duly authorized officer or agent of Lender
shall be deemed an agent of Lender nor have any authority to waive, modify,
supplement or terminate in any manner whatsoever any of the terms of this Note.
8.04 BINDING EFFECT; JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. The terms and
provisions of this Note, the Security Instruments and the Other Security
Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and
Lender and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives,
successors, successors and assigns, whether by voluntary action of the parties
or by operation of law. The foregoing shall not be construed, however, to
alter any limitations or restrictions applicable to Borrower under the Loan
Documents. If Borrower consists of more than one person or entity, each shall
be jointly and severally liable to perform the obligations of Borrower under
this Note, the Security Instruments and the Other Security Documents.
8.05 UNENFORCEABLE PROVISIONS. Any provision of this Note, the
Security Instruments or the Other Security Documents which may be determined
by competent authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
8.06 AMBIGUITY AND CONSTRUCTION OF CERTAIN TERMS. Neither this
Note nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved
against Lender by virtue of the fact that such document has originated with
Lender as drafter. Borrower acknowledges that it has reviewed this Note and
has had the opportunity to consult with counsel on same. This Note, therefore,
shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the
words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of the

receipt requested, to Borrower at the address for Borrower last provided to
Lender in accordance with the notice provision of this Note and agrees that

DEBT AND OBLIGATIONS SECURED
Section 2.1. DEBT. This Security Instrument and the grants,
assignments and transfers made in Article 1 are given for the purpose of
securing the following, in such order of priority as Lender may determine in
its sole discretion (the "Debt"):
(a) the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note in
lawful money of the United States of America;
(b) the payment of interest, default interest, late charges
and other sums, as provided in the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other
Security Documents (defined in Section 3.2);

Security Instrument to protect and preserve the Property and the lien and the
security interest created hereby; and
(f) the payment of all sums advanced and actual out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Debt or any part
thereof, any renewal, extension, modification, consolidation, change,
substitution, replacement, restatement or increase of the Debt or any part
thereof, or the acquisition or perfection of the security therefor, whether

purpose of securing the following (the "Other Obligations"):
(a) the performance of all other obligations of Borrower
contained herein;

Section 2.4. PAYMENTS. Unless payments are made in the required

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 (after the expiration
of any applicable notice and grace periods) shall be and continue to be an
Event of Default.

ARTICLE III
BORROWER COVENANTS
Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender 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 or the other Obligations,
including, without limitation, that certain Loan Agreement (the "Loan

the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.
Section 3.3. INSURANCE.
(a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be
maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the
following coverages:
(i) PROPERTY INSURANCE. Insurance with respect to
the Improvements and building equipment insuring against any peril included
within the classification "All Risks of Physical Loss" in amounts at all times
sufficient to prevent Lender from becoming a co-insurer within the terms of
the applicable policies and under applicable law, but in any event such
insurance shall be maintained in an amount equal to the full insurable value
of the Improvements and building equipment, the term "full insurable value" to
mean the actual replacement cost of the Improvements and building equipment
owned or leased by Borrower or its affiliates (without taking into account any
depreciation, and exclusive of excavations, footings and foundations,
landscaping and paving) determined annually by an insurer, a recognized
independent insurance broker or an independent appraiser selected and paid by
Borrower and in no event less than the coverage required pursuant to the terms
of any Lease. Absent such annual adjustment, each policy shall contain
inflation guard coverage insuring that the policy limit will be increased over
time to reflect the effect of inflation. Borrower shall also maintain
insurance against loss or damage to such furniture, furnishings, fixtures,
equipment and other items (whether personalty or fixtures) included in the
Property and owned by Borrower from time to time, to the extent applicable, in
the amount of the cost of replacing the same, in each case, with inflation
guard coverage to reflect the effect of inflation, or annual valuation. Each
policy or policies shall contain a replacement cost endorsement and either an
agreed amount endorsement (to avoid the operation of any co-insurance
provisions) or a waiver of any co-insurance provisions, all subject to
Lender's approval. The maximum deductible shall be $10,000.00;
(ii) LIABILITY INSURANCE. Comprehensive general
liability insurance, including personal injury, bodily injury, death and
property damage liability, insurance against any and all claims, including all
legal liability to the extent insurable and imposed upon Lender and all court
costs and attorneys' fees and expenses, arising out of or connected with the
possession, use, leasing,
-6-
operation, maintenance or condition of the Property in such amounts as are
generally available at commercially reasonable premiums and are generally
required by institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Property
but in no event less than $2,000,000.00 per occurrence and $1,000,000.00
general aggregate. During any construction of the Property, Borrower's general
contractor for such construction shall also provide the insurance required in
this Subsection b. Lender hereby retains the right to periodically review the
amount of said liability insurance being maintained by Borrower and to require
an increase in the amount of said liability insurance should Lender deem an
increase to be reasonably prudent under then existing circumstances;
(iii) WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE. Statutory
workers' compensation insurance with respect to any work on or about the
Property covering all persons subject to the workers' compensation laws of the
state in which the Property is located;
(iv) BUSINESS INTERRUPTION. Business interruption
and/or loss of "rental income" insurance in an amount sufficient to avoid any
co-insurance penalty and to provide proceeds which will cover a period of not
less than eighteen (18) months from the date of casualty or loss, the term
"rental income" to mean the sum of (A) the total then ascertainable Rents
payable under the Leases and (B) the total ascertainable amount of all other
amounts to be received by Borrower from third parties which are the legal
obligation of the tenants, reduced to the extent such amounts would not be
received because of operating expenses not incurred during a period of
non-occupancy of that portion of the Property then not being occupied. The
amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the rents payable
during the succeeding twelve (12) month period.
(v) BOILER AND MACHINERY INSURANCE. Broad form
boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for explosion) covering all
boilers or other pressure vessels, machinery, and equipment located in, on or
about the Property and insurance against loss of occupancy or use arising from
any breakdown in such amount per accident equal to the replacement value of
the improvements housing the machinery or $2,000,000 or such other amount
reasonably determined by Lender. If one or more large HVAC units is in
operation at the Property, "System Breakdowns" coverage shall be required, as
determined by Lender. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the
value of such unit(s);
(vi) FLOOD INSURANCE. If required by Subsection
5.6(a) hereof, flood insurance in an amount at least equal to the lesser of
(A) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate
for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or the unpaid balance of the
indebtedness secured hereby if replacement cost coverage is not available for
the type of building insured); or (B) the maximum insurance available under
the appropriate National Flood Insurance Administration program. The
deductible may not exceed $25,000.
(vii) During the period of any construction,
renovation or alteration of the Improvements which exceeds the lesser of 10%
of the principal amount of the Note or $500,000, at Lender's request, a
completed value, "All Risk" Builder's Risk form, or "Course of Construction"
insurance policy in non-reporting form for any Improvements under
construction, renovation or alteration in an amount approved by Lender may be
required. During the period of any construction of any addition to the
existing Improvements, a completed value, "All Risk" Builder's Risk form or
"Course of Construction" insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount
approved by Lender,
-7-
shall be required.
(viii) OTHER INSURANCE. Such other insurance with
respect to the Property or on any replacements or substitutions thereof or
additions thereto as may from time to time be required by Lender against other
insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against
in the case of property similarly used and situated, including, without
limitation, sinkhole, mine subsidence, reasonable earthquake and environmental
insurance, due regard being given to the height and type of buildings, their
construction, location, use and occupancy.
(b) All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.3(a) hereof
shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the "Policies" or in
the singular, the "Policy"), and shall be issued by one or more domestic
primary insurer(s) having an investment grade rating of "AA" or better, or a
comparable claims paying ability assigned by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group,
a division of the XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc. or equivalent one or more credit
rating agency approved by Lender (a "Rating Agency"), (each such insurer shall
be referred to below as a "Qualified Insurer"). All insurers providing
insurance required by this Security Instrument shall be authorized to issue
insurance in the state in which the Property is located. The Policy referred
to in Subsection 3.3(a)(ii) above shall name Lender as an additional named
insured and the Policy referred to in Subsection 3.3(a)(i), (iv), (v) and (vi)
above shall provide, subject to Section 4.4(a) hereof, that all proceeds be
payable to Lender as set forth in Section 4.4 hereof. The Policies referred to
in Subsections 3.3(a)(i), (v) and (vi) shall also contain: (i) a standard
"non-contributory mortgagee" endorsement or its equivalent relating, INTER
ALIA, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or
omission of Lender; and (ii) to the extent available at commercially
reasonable rates, a waiver of subrogation endorsement as to Lender. All
Policies described in Subsection 3.3(a) above shall contain (i) a provision
that such Policies shall not be cancelled or terminated, nor shall they
expire, without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lender in
each instance; and (ii) include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims
for Insurance Premiums (defined below) against any mortgagees, loss payees,
additional insureds and named insureds (other than Borrower). In the event
that the Property or the Improvements constitutes a legal non-conforming use
under applicable building, zoning or land use laws or ordinances, the policy
shall include an ordinance or law coverage endorsement which will contain
Coverage A: "Loss Due to Operation of Law" (with a minimum liability limit
equal to Replacement Cost With Agreed Value Endorsement), Coverage B:
"Demolition Cost" and Coverage C: "Increased Cost of Construction" coverages.
Certificates of insurance with respect to all renewal and replacement Policies
shall be delivered to Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration date of any of the Policies required to be maintained hereunder
which certificates shall bear notations evidencing payment of applicable
premiums (the "Insurance Premiums"). Originals or certificates of such
replacement Policies shall be delivered to Lender promptly after Borrower's
receipt thereof but in any case within twenty (20) days after the effective
date thereof. If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the original
Policies or certificates of insurance required by this Security Instrument,
upon ten (10) days' prior notice to Borrower, Lender may procure such
insurance at Borrower's sole cost and expense.
(c) Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements and
shall not bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept any article upon any
of the Property or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon which would
be prohibited by an insurance requirement, or would invalidate the insurance
coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Borrower on or with
-8-
respect to any part of the Property pursuant to this Section 3.3.
(d) 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 provided that Borrower shall have received the Net
Proceeds, Borrower 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, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (the "Restoration")
and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.4 of this Security Instrument.
(e) The insurance coverage required under Section 3.3(a) may
be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Property and other
properties and assets not constituting a part of the security hereunder;
provided that any such blanket policy shall specify, except in the case of
public liability insurance, the portion of the total coverage of such policy
that is allocated to the Property, and any sublimit in such blanket policy
applicable to the Property, and shall in any case comply in all other respects
with the requirements of this Section 3.3.
(f) The insurance coverage required under Subsection
3.3(a)(ii) may be satisfied by a layering of Commercial General Liability,
Umbrella and Excess Liability Policies, but in no event will the Commercial
General Liability policy be written for an amount less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate for bodily injury and property damage
liability with a minimum umbrella coverage of $25,000,000.00 per occurrence
and $25,000,000.00 in the aggregate.
(g) The delivery to Lender of the insurance policies or the
certificates of insurance as provided above shall constitute an assignment of
all proceeds payable under such insurance as relating to the Property by
Borrower to Lender as further security for the indebtedness secured hereby. In
the event of foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or other transfer of
title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the secured
indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all proceeds
payable under such policies then in force concerning the Property shall
thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, or in Lender or other
transferee in the event of such other transfer of title. Approval of any
insurance by Lender shall not be a representation of the solvency of any
insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance.
(h) Lender shall not be responsible for nor incur any
liability for the insolvency of the insurer or other failure of the insurer to
perform, even though Lender has caused the insurance to be placed with the
insurer after failure of Borrower to furnish such insurance. Borrower shall
not obtain insurance for the Property in addition to that required by Lender
without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld provided that (i) Lender is named insured on such
insurance, (ii) Lender receives complete copies of all policies evidencing
such insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable
requirements set forth herein.
Section 3.4. PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC. (a) Subject to the
provisions of Section 3.4(b) and 3.5 hereof, Borrower shall pay by their due
date 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
-9-
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 as same become due and payable. Borrower will deliver to Lender,
promptly upon Lender's 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 whatsoever which may be or become a lien or
charge against the Property other than Permitted Exceptions. 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 paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other
Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent.
(b) After prior written notice to Lender, 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 imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated,
cancelled or lost, (vi) Borrower shall have set aside 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, or as
may be reasonably requested by Lender to insure the payment of any contested
Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon, taking into
consideration the amount in the Escrow Fund available for payment of Taxes.
Section 3.5. ESCROW FUND. (a) At the option of Lender, Lender
may require Borrower to establish an Escrow Fund (defined below) sufficient to
discharge its obligations for the payment of Insurance Premiums and Taxes
pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof. Initial deposits of Taxes and
Insurance Premiums shall be made by Borrower to Lender in amounts reasonably
determined by Lender in its discretion on the date hereof to be held by Lender
in escrow. Additionally, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the payment date as
set forth in the Note on 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, upon the due dates established by the appropriate taxing authority
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 initial
deposits together with the amounts in (a) and (b) above shall be called the
"Escrow Fund"). Borrower agrees to promptly notify Lender 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
tax 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. Provided there are sufficient
amounts in the Escrow Fund
-10-
and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall be obligated to pay the Taxes and
Insurance Premiums as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf
of Borrower by applying the Escrow Fund to the payments of such 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, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such
excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating
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 reasonably 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. The Escrow Fund shall be
held by Lender in an escrow account bearing interest at the bank monitor rate,
with interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing under the Note, this Security
Instrument or the Other Security Documents, Lender shall not require an escrow
for the Taxes relating to any space at the Property currently occupied by a

Leases not in accordance with their terms, without the prior written consent

conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender agrees to execute all
reasonably requested subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements
provided Lender has previously approved the Lease (provided Lender's approval
is required pursuant to the terms hereof) and said agreement is on Lender's
approved form ("Lender's Form"), provided, however, Lender may, in its sole
discretion, agree to execute a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement on a form other than Lender's Form.

incorporation, bylaws or any voting trust agreement with respect to any
common stock, requires a vote of the board of directors of the general
partner of Borrower (or the SPE Member of Borrower) unless at the time of
such action there shall be at least one member of the board of directors who
is an Independent Director.
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 (i) the Net Proceeds (defined below) do not exceed
$1,000,000 ("Casualty Amount"); (ii) the costs of completing the Restoration
as reasonably estimated by Borrower shall be less than or equal to the
Casualty Amount; (iii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other
Security Documents; (iv) 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 (including, without
limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws (defined in Section 12.1); and
(v) such fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not materially
impair access to the Property or the Improvements, then the Net Proceeds will
be disbursed directly to Borrower and Borrower shall commence and diligently
prosecute to completion, subject to Force Majeure (defined herein), the
Restoration of the Property to as nearly as possible the condition it was in
immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to such taking. Except
upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall
settle any insurance claims with respect to the Net Proceeds which in the
aggregate are less than or equal to the Casualty Amount. Lender shall have
the right to participate in and reasonably approve any settlement for
insurance claims with respect to the Net Proceeds which in the aggregate are
equal to or greater than the Casualty Amount. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Lender,
in the name of Borrower as its true and
-21-
lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim and to collect and
to make receipt for any such payment. If the Net Proceeds are received by
Borrower, such Net Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related work,
be held in trust for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of
Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of the Restoration in accordance with
the terms hereof.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are greater than the Casualty
Amount, such Net Proceeds shall, subject to the provisions of the Leases that
are superior to the lien of this Security Instrument or with respect to which
subordination, non-disturbance agreements binding upon Lender have entered
into concerning the deposits of Net Proceeds, be forthwith paid to Lender to
be held by Lender in a segregated account to be made available to Borrower
for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection
4.4(b). Provided the Net Proceeds are made available to Borrower for
Restoration, Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion,
subject to Force Majeure (defined below), the Restoration (in the case of a
taking, to the extent the Property is capable of being restored). The term
"Net Proceeds" for purposes of Section 3.3, Section 3.6 and this Section 4.4
shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender
or Borrower, as the case may be, under the Policies carried pursuant to
Subsections 3.3(a)(i), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) 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 or Borrower, as the case may be, 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. The term "Force Majeure" for the purpose of this Section 4.4 shall
have the following meaning: Borrower shall be excused for the period of any
delay in the performance of any obligations hereunder when prevented from so
doing by cause or causes beyond Borrower's reasonable control such as,
without limitation, all labor disputes, civil commotion, war, war-like
operations, invasion, rebellion, hostilities, military or usurped power,
sabotage, governmental regulations or controls, fire or other casualty,
inability toobtain any materials or services, and acts of God.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be promptly made
available to Borrower for payment of, or reimbursement of Borrower's expenses
in connection with, the Restoration, subject to the following conditions:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the
Other Security Documents;
(B) Lender shall, within a reasonable period
of time prior to request for initial disbursement, be furnished with an
estimate of the cost of the Restoration accompanied by an independent
architect's certification as to such costs and appropriate plans and
specifications for the Restoration;
(C) the Net Proceeds, together with any cash
or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender, are sufficient to cover
the cost of the Restoration as such costs are certified by the independent
architect;
(D) (1) in the event that the Net Proceeds are
insurance proceeds,
-22-
less than fifty percent (50%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has
been damaged or destroyed, or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or
other casualty; or (2) in the event that the Net Proceeds are condemnation
awards, less than fifty percent (50%) of the Land constituting the Property
is taken, such Land that is taken is located along the perimeter or periphery
of the Property and no portion of the Improvements is located in such Lands;
(E) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that
any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and
interest under 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, or
(2) other funds of Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that, upon the
completion of the Restoration and related lease-up, if applicable, the net
cash flow of the Property will be restored to a level sufficient to cover all
carrying costs and operating expenses of the Property, including, without
limitation, debt service on the Note at a coverage ratio (on a "normalized"
basis, i.e., after deducting replacement reserve requirements and reserves
for tenant improvements and leasing commissions from net operating income,
whether or not such sums are escrowed with Lender) of at least 1.80 : 1.0,
which coverage ratio shall be equal to or greater than the coverage ratio
existing as of the date of this Security Instrument or, if lower, the
coverage ratio which existed as of the date immediately preceding such
casualty or taking as the case may be;
(G) the Restoration can reasonably 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) the earliest date required for
such completion under the terms of any Lease and (3) such time as may be
required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order
to repair and restore the Property to as nearly as possible the condition it
was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to such taking, as
applicable;
(H) 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 (including, without
limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws (defined in Section 12.1); and
(I) such fire or other casualty or taking, as
applicable, does not materially impair access to the Property or the
Improvements.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an
account bearing interest at the bank monitor rate and, until disbursed in
accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b), shall constitute
additional security for the Obligations. The Net Proceeds other than the Net
Proceeds paid under the Policy described in Subsection 3.3(a)(iv) shall be
disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during
the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor
performed (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 materialman's liens or 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
-23-
not either been fully bonded and discharged of record or in the alternative
fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company insuring the
lien of this Security Instrument.
(iii) 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 to provide goods
and/or services, the cost of which shall exceed $50,000, as well as the
contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior
review and acceptance by Lender and an independent consulting engineer
selected by Lender (the "Casualty Consultant"), such acceptance not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender
in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration
including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and
the Casualty Consultant's fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(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 opinion of Lender, be
sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated
-24-
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 (which deposit may be in the form of cash or a
letter of credit, provided said letter of credit is in form, substance and
from any issuing bank reasonably acceptable to Lender) 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.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the
remaining balance, including any accrued interest thereon, 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.
(viii) 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) shall be retained and applied by Lender
toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such
order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper
or, at the discretion of Lender, the same shall be paid, either in whole or
in part, to Borrower. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the
lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount received
and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the
Debt.

Borrower's assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan

thereof, in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit
of debtors.
Section 5.12. BUSINESS PURPOSES. The loan evidenced by the Note
is solely for the business purpose of Borrower, and is not for personal,
family, household, or agricultural purposes.
Section 5.13. TAXES. Borrower, any Guarantor and any Indemnitor
have filed all federal, state, county, municipal, and city income and other
tax returns required to have been filed by them and have paid all taxes and
related liabilities which have become due pursuant to such returns or
pursuant to any assessments received by them. Neither Borrower, any Guarantor
nor any Indemnitor knows of any basis for any additional assessment in
respect of any such taxes and related liabilities for prior years.
Section 5.14. MAILING ADDRESS. Borrower's mailing address, as
set forth in the opening paragraph hereof or as changed in accordance with
Article 16, is true and correct.
Section 5.15. NO CHANGE IN FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES. All
information in the application (the "Loan Application") for the loan (the
"Loan") submitted to Lender and in all financing statements, rent rolls,
reports, certificates and other documents submitted in connection
-29-
with the Loan Application or in satisfaction of the terms thereof, are
accurate, complete and correct in all material respects. There has been no
adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make
any such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any
material respect.
Section 5.16. DISCLOSURE. Borrower has disclosed to Lender all
material facts and has not failed to disclose any material fact that could
cause any representation or warranty made herein to be materially misleading,
the effect of which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the
Properties taken as a whole.
Section 5.17. THIRD PARTY REPRESENTATIONS. Each of the
representations and the warranties made by each Guarantor and Indemnitor
herein or in any Other Security Document(s) is true and correct in all
material respects.

been or will be purchased, improved, fixtured, equipped or furnished with
proceeds of any criminal or other illegal activity and to the best of
Borrower's knowledge, there are no illegal activities or activities relating
to controlled substance at the Property.
Section 5.19. NON-CONSOLIDATION OPINION ASSUMPTIONS. All of the
assumptions made in the Non-Consolidation Opinion, including, but not limited
to, any exhibits attached thereto, are true and correct.
Section 5.20. FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATIONS. No part of the
proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring
any "margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would
be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board
of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the
terms and conditions of this Security Instrument, the Note or the Other
Security Documents.
Section 5.21. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. Borrower is not (a) an
"investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company,"
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (b) a
"holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company" or an
"affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" within
the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or
(c) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to
restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
Section 5.22. FORFEITURE. There has not been committed by Borrower
or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, any other person in occupancy of or
involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording
the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture
as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of
Borrower's obligations under the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other
Security Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit
or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture.

ARTICLE VI
DEBTOR/CREDITOR RELATIONSHIP
Section 6.1. RELATIONSHIP OF BORROWER AND LENDER. The relationship
between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender
has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or
condition of any of the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Security
Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and
Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.
Section 6.2. SERVICING OF THE LOAN. At the option of Lender, the

the Other Security Documents creating a lien or security interest or evidencing
the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be
filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be

transferring, and confirming unto Lender, the property and rights hereby
mortgaged, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned,
warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which
Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or

with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel
chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to

(120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any
credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other

thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other

valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified,
giving particulars of such modification, (viii) whether any offsets or defenses
exist against the obligations secured hereby and, if any are alleged to exist, a

and effect with no defaults thereunder on the part of any party, that none of
the Rents have been paid more than one month in advance, except as security, and
that the lessee claims no defense or offset against the full and timely
performance of its obligations under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrower shall only be obligated to request the estoppel certificates described
under this Section 7.4(b) not more often than otherwise provided in the
applicable Leases.
(c) Upon any transfer or proposed transfer contemplated by
Section 18.1 hereof, at Lender's request, Borrower, any Guarantors and any

portion of the Property to be more particularly described therein. To that end,
Borrower, upon written request of Lender, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and security
instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid
principal amount secured by this Security Instrument, and containing terms,

Borrower shall not incur any debt, secured or unsecured, direct or contingent
(including guaranteeing any obligation), other than the Debt and trade payables

profits or proceeds relating to such partnership interest or the transfer or
pledge of any partnership interest of any limited partner or any profits or
proceeds relating to any such partnership interest, which, whether singly or in
the aggregate, result in more than 49% of the beneficial interests in Borrower,
or the profits or proceeds relating thereto, having been transferred or pledged;

expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or in appearing
in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at
the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), 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 after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, 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 upon prior written notice
to examine the records, books, management and other papers of Borrower, Price

books and records are located.
Section 11.7. OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender to
insist upon strict
-41-
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, any Guarantor or any Indemnitor 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) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other
security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion,
may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof,
or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of 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 Lender shall be
construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the
exclusion of any other provision. 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.
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.
Section 11.9. VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in
compliance with Applicable Laws and such non-compliance has a material adverse
effect on the value of the Properties taken as a whole, 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 upon prior written notice to enter and inspect the Property at all
reasonable times upon not less than five (5) business days' notice (except in
the case of emergencies when no notice shall be required) to Borrower.

the prior written consent of Lender, unless expressly permitted pursuant to
the terms of this Security Instrument, the Note or any of te Other Security
Documents.
Section 15.4. RECOURSE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as set forth in Section
15.1 above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and
effect in the event (i) the Property or any part thereof shall become an
asset in (A) a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding caused by
Guarantor, provided, however, for the purpose of this Section 15.4(i)(A),
upon any such voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, it shall
automatically be presumed that said voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding was caused by Guarantor, which presumption can only be rebutted
with clear and convincing evidence to the contrary, or (B) an involuntary
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding commenced by any person (other than
Lender) and Borrower fails to use its commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain a dismissal of such proceedings, or (ii) Borrower or any Guarantor or

APPLICABLE LAW
Section 17.1. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT SHALL BE
DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT

Section 17.2. USURY LAWS. This Security Instrument and the Note
are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be
obligated or required to pay interest on the Debt at a rate which could
subject the holder of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a
result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is
permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of
this Security Instrument or the Note, Borrower is at any time required or
obligated to pay interest on the Debt at a rate in excess of such maximum
rate, the rate of interest under this Security Instrument and the Note shall
be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest
payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest
payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed
to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of the Note. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or
detention of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of
the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on
account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from
time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is
outstanding.
Section 17.3. PROVISIONS SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW. All rights,
powers and remedies
-52-
provided in this Security Instrument may be exercised only to the extent that
the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and

recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any Applicable Law.
Section 17.4. INAPPLICABLE PROVISION. If any term of this
Security Instrument or any application thereof shall be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Security Instrument and any other
application of the term shall not be affected thereby.

securities (such sale and/or issuance, the "Securitization") evidencing a
beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private
placement (the "Securities") (any such transaction described in the foregoing
clause shall be referred to as a "Secondary Market Transaction"), Lender may
forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant,
investor, or their respective successors in such Participations and/or
Securities (collectively, the "Investor") or any Rating Agency rating such

information concerning the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of
Borrower, any Guarantor and any Indemnitor as may be reasonably requested by
Lender or requested by any Investor or any prospective Investor or Rating
Agency in connection with any sale, transfer or Participation. If required by
Lender, Borrower shall deliver on the date hereof, at Borrower's sole cost
and expense, a nonconsolidation opinion, and within ten (10) days after
demand of Lender, either an update of same (which update Borrower will not be
required to provide more than once) or if Borrower is not required to deliver
a nonconsolidation opinion on the date hereof, Borrower shall deliver
same, each in form and substance and delivered by counsel reasonably
acceptable to Lender and acceptable to the Rating Agency rating or proposed
to rate the Securities, as may be required by Lender and/or such Rating
Agency. Borrower's failure to deliver the opinions required hereby shall
constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

Indemnitor agree to cooperate with Lender in connection with any Secondary
Market Transaction, including, without limitation, complying with all of the

(together with their respective assignments of leases and rents and other
documents securing or evidencing the Debt, the "Additional Security

the right to institute a proceeding or proceedings for the total or partial
foreclosure of this Security Instrument and any or all of the Additional
Security Instruments whether by court action, power of sale or otherwise,
under any applicable provision of law, for all of the Debt, or the portion of
the Debt and the lien and the security interest created by the Additional
Security Instruments shall continue in full force and effect without loss of
priority as a lien and security interest securing the payment of that portion
of the Debt then due and payable but still outstanding. Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that the Property and the Additional Properties are located in one
or more States and counties, and therefore Lender shall be permitted to
enforce payment of the Debt and the performance of any term, covenant or
condition of the Note, this Security Instrument, the Other Security Documents
or the Additional Security Instruments and exercise any and all rights and
remedies under the Note, this Security Instrument, the Other Security

of the States or counties in which the Property or any Additional Property is
located. Neither the acceptance of this Security Instrument, the Note, the
Other Security Documents or the Additional Security Instruments nor the
enforcement thereof in any one State or county, whether by court action,
foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, shall prejudice or in any way limit
or preclude enforcement by court action, foreclosure, power of sale or
otherwise, of the Note, this Security Instrument, the Other Security
Documents, or any Additional Security Instruments through one or
-56-
more additional proceedings in that State or county or in any other State or
county. Any and all sums received by Lender under the Note, this Security
Instrument, the Other Security Documents and the Additional Security
Instruments shall be applied to the Debt in such order and priority as Lender
shall determine, in its sole discretion, without regard to the Allocated Loan
Amount (as defined in that certain Loan Agreement dated the date hereof) for
the Property or any Additional Property or the appraised value of the
Property or any Additional Property.

current and future Leases and Rents, Lease Guaranties, and Bankruptcy Claims, it
being intended by Assignor that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute
assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment
to Assignee shall not be construed to bind Assignee to the performance of any of
the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise
impose any obligation upon Assignee. Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to
Assignee such additional instruments, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Assignee, as may hereafter be reasonably requested by Assignee
to further evidence and confirm such assignment. Nevertheless, subject to the
terms of this paragraph 1, Assignee grants to Assignor a revocable license to
operate and manage the Property and to collect the Rents and other sums due
under the Lease Guaranties and Bankruptcy Claims. Assignor shall hold the Rents
and all sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims, or a
portion thereof sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt, in
trust for the benefit of Assignee for use in the payment of such sums. Upon an
Event of Default, as defined in the Note and the Security Instrument, the
license granted to Assignor herein shall automatically be revoked without notice
to Assignor, and Assignee shall immediately be entitled to possession of all
Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy
Claims, whether or not Assignee enters upon or takes control of the Property.
Assignee is hereby granted and assigned by Assignor the right, at its option,
upon revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Property in
person, by agent or by courtappointed receiver to collect the Rents and all sums
received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims. Any Rents and all
sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims collected
after the revocation of the license may be applied toward payment of the Debt in
such priority and proportions
4
as Assignee in its discretion shall deem proper.
2. REMEDIES OF ASSIGNEE. (a) Upon or at any time after an
Event of Default, Assignee may, at its option, without waiving such Event of
Default, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for
the Debt, either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or
proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, take possession of the
Property and have, hold, manage, lease and operate the Property on such terms
and for such period of time as Assignee may deem proper and either with or
without taking possession of the Property in its own name, demand, xxx for or
otherwise collect and receive all Rents and all sums received pursuant to any
Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims, including those past due and unpaid with
full power to make from time to time all alterations, renovations, repairs or
replacements thereto or thereof as may seem proper to Assignee and may apply the
Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims
to the payment of the following in such order and proportion as Assignee in its
sole discretion may determine, any law, custom or use to the contrary
notwithstanding: (i) all expenses of managing and securing the Property,
including, without being limited thereto, the salaries, fees and wages of a
managing agent and such other employees or agents as Assignee may deem necessary
or desirable and all expenses of operating and maintaining the Property,
including, without being limited thereto, all taxes, charges, claims,
assessments, water charges, sewer rents and any other liens, and premiums for
all insurance which Assignee may deem necessary or desirable, and the cost of
all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements, and all expenses incident
to taking and retaining possession of the Property; and (ii) the Debt, together
with all costs and attorneys' fees. In addition to the rights which Assignee may
have herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Assignee, at its
option, may either require Assignor to pay monthly in advance to Assignee, or
any receiver appointed to collect the Rents and all sums received pursuant to
any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims, the fair and reasonable rental value
for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be in possession
of Assignor or may require Assignor to vacate and surrender possession of the
Property to Assignee or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Assignor may
be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. For purposes of this paragraph
2, Assignor grants to Assignee its irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with
an interest, to take any and all of the aforementioned actions and any or all
other actions designated by Assignee for the proper management and preservation
of the Property. The exercise by Assignee of the option granted it in this
paragraph 2 and the collection of the Rents and all sums received pursuant to
any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims and the application thereof as herein
provided shall not be considered a waiver of any default by Assignor under the
Note, the Security Instrument, the Leases, this Assignment or the Other Security
Documents.
(b) Upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Assignee shall have the right in its own name or in the name of Assignor in
respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of
any Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to
the exclusion of Assignor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions,
applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee
under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.
(c) If there shall be filed by or against Assignor a petition under the
Bankruptcy Code, and Assignor, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to
reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then
Assignor shall give Assignee not less than ten (10) days' prior notice of the
date on which Assignor shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to
reject the
5
Lease. Assignee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon
Assignor within such ten-day period a notice stating that (i) Assignee demands
that Assignor assume and assign the Lease to Assignee pursuant to Section 365 of
the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Assignee covenants to cure or provide adequate
assurance of future performance under the Lease. If Assignee serves upon
Assignor the notice described in the preceding sentence, Assignor shall not seek
to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i)
of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have
been given, subject to the performance by Assignee of the covenant provided for
in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
3. NO LIABILITY OF ASSIGNEE. Assignee shall not be liable for
any loss sustained by Assignor resulting from Assignee's failure to let the
Property after an Event of Default or from any other act or omission of Assignee
in managing the Property after default unless such loss is caused by the gross
negligence, illegal acts, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of Assignee.
Assignee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or
liability under the Leases or under or by reason of this Assignment and Assignor
shall, and hereby agrees, to indemnify Assignee for, and to hold Assignee
harmless from, any and all liability, loss or damage which may or might be
incurred under the Leases or under or by reason of this Assignment and from any
and all claims and demands whatsoever, including the defense of any such claims
or demands which may be asserted against Assignee by reason of any alleged
obligations and undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the
terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases, except to the extent
such liability, loss or damage is the result of Assignee's gross negligence,
illegal acts, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct. Should Assignee incur any
such liability, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable
attorneys' fees, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined
in the Note) shall be secured hereby and by the Security Instrument and the
Other Security Documents and Assignor shall reimburse Assignee therefor
immediately upon demand and upon the failure of Assignor so to do Assignee may,
at its option, declare all sums secured hereby and the Security Instrument and
the Other Security Documents immediately due and payable. This Assignment shall
not operate to place any obligation or liability for the control, care,
management or repair of the Property upon Assignee, nor for the carrying out of
any of the terms and conditions of the Leases; nor shall it operate to make
Assignee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the
tenants or any other parties (other than Assignee, its employees, agents,
representatives, contractors, subcontractors or affiliates), or for any
dangerous or defective condition of the Property, including, without limitation,
the presence of any Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Security
Instrument), or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control
of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee,
employee or stranger, except to the extent caused by Assignee's gross
negligence, wilful misconduct, illegal acts, fraud or bad faith.
4. NOTICE TO LESSEES. Assignor hereby authorizes and directs
the lessees named in the Leases or any other or future lessees or occupants of
the Property upon receipt from Assignee of written notice to the effect that
Assignee is then the holder of the Security Instrument and that an Event of
Default exists thereunder or under this Assignment, the Note or the Other
Security Documents to pay over to Assignee all Rents and all sums under any
Lease Guaranty and to continue so to do until otherwise notified by Assignee.
Assignor hereby agrees that each such lessee and any other or future lessee and
occupant may rely upon such written notice from Assignee to so pay the Rents and
other sums without any inquiry into whether there exists a default hereunder or
under the Security Instrument, the Note or the Other Security Documents or
whether Assignee
6
is otherwise entitled to the Rents and other sums. Assignor hereby waives any
right, claim or demand which Assignor may now or hereafter have against any
present or future lessee or occupant by reason of such payment of Rents and
other sums to Assignee, and any such payment shall discharge such lessee's or
occupant's obligation to make such payment to Assignor.
5. OTHER SECURITY. Assignee may take or release other security
for the payment of the Debt, may release any party primarily or secondarily
liable therefor, may grant extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect
thereto and may apply any other security held by it to the reduction or
satisfaction of the Debt without prejudice to any of its rights under this
Assignment.
6. OTHER REMEDIES. Nothing contained in this Assignment and no
act done or omitted by Assignee pursuant to the power and rights granted to
Assignee hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Assignee of its rights and
remedies under the Note, the Security Instrument, or the Other Security
Documents and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of
the rights and remedies possessed by Assignee under the terms thereof. The right
of Assignee to collect the Debt and to enforce any other security therefor held
by it may be exercised by Assignee either prior to, simultaneously with, or
subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder.
7. NO MORTGAGEE IN POSSESSION. Nothing herein contained shall
be construed as constituting Assignee a "mortgagee in possession" in the absence
of the taking of actual possession of the Property by Assignee. In the exercise
of the powers herein granted Assignee, no liability shall be asserted or
enforced against Assignee, all such liability being expressly waived and
released by Assignor and Assignee shall be obligated to account only for such
Rents as are actually collected or received by Assignee.
8. CONFLICT OF TERMS. In case of any conflict between the
terms of this Assignment and the terms of the Security Instrument, the terms of
the Security Instrument shall prevail.
9. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Assignment and any provisions hereof
may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or
terminated orally, or by any act or failure to act on the part of Assignor or
Assignee, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom
the enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change,
discharge or termination is sought.

Other Security Documents; whenever the context may require, any pronouns used
herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and
the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa.
11. NON-WAIVER. The failure of Assignee to insist upon strict
performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of
this Assignment. Assignor shall not be relieved of Assignor's obligations
hereunder by reason of (i) failure of Assignee to comply with any request of
Assignor or any other party to take any action to enforce any of the provisions
hereof or of the Security Instrument, the Note or the Other Security Documents,
(ii) the release regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the
Property, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Assignee extending the time

resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Assignee in

proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.

Assignee agrees to promptly delivery to Assignor), this Assignment shall become
and be void and of no effect.
16. TRANSFER BY ASSIGNEE. No consent by Assignor shall be
required for any assignment or reassignment of the rights of Assignee under this
Assignment. All references to "Assignee" hereunder shall be deemed to include
the assigns of Assignee.
17. EXCULPATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Assignment, the liability of Assignor, and of any general
partner or member of Assignor to pay the Debt and for the performance of the
other agreements, covenants and obligations contained herein and in the Note,

FORM OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
EXHIBIT "A"
[PROPERTY DESCRIPTION]
FORM OF GUARANTY OF RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and to induce GMAC COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE
CORPORATION, a California corporation, having its principal place of business at
000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000 ("Lender"), to lend to PRICE
OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having its principal place of
business at 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000
("Borrower"), the principal sum of __________ DOLLARS ($__________) (the
"Loan"), evidenced by a certain note (the "Note") and secured by those certain
mortgages and deeds of trust (collectively, the "Security Instruments"), as
described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, and by other
documents executed in connection therewith (the "Other Security Documents").
1. The undersigned, PRICE ENTERPRISES, INC. having an address
at 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000
(hereinafter referred to as "Guarantor"), hereby absolutely and unconditionally
guarantees to Lender the prompt and unconditional payment of the Guaranteed
Recourse Obligations of Borrower (hereinafter defined).
2. It is expressly understood and agreed that this is a
continuing guaranty and that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are and
shall be absolute under any and all circumstances, without regard to the
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note, the Security Instruments, or
the Other Security Documents, a true copy of each of said documents Guarantor
hereby acknowledges having received and reviewed.
3. The term "Debt" as used in this Guaranty of Recourse
Obligations of Borrower (the "Guaranty") shall mean the principal sum evidenced
by the Note and secured by the Security Instruments, or so much thereof as may
be outstanding from time to time, together with interest thereon at the rate of
interest specified in the Note and all other sums other than principal or
interest which may or shall become due and payable pursuant to the provisions of
the Note, the Security Instruments or the Other Security Documents.
4. The term "Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower" as
used in this Guaranty shall mean all obligations and liabilities of Borrower for
which Borrower shall be personally liable pursuant to the Note, the Security
Instruments or the Other Security Documents.
5. Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter
existing (including, but not limited to, any rights to subrogation Guarantor may
have as a result of any payment by Guarantor under this Guaranty), together with
any interest thereon, shall be, and such indebtedness is, hereby deferred,
postponed and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Debt. Until
payment in full of the Debt (and including interest accruing on the Note after
the commencement of a proceeding by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy
Reform Act of 1978, as amended, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101 ET SEQ., and the
regulations adopted and promulgated pursuant thereto (collectively, the
"Bankruptcy Code") which interest the parties agree shall remain a claim that is
prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary
practice, custom or ruling in cases under the Bankruptcy Code generally),
Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of
indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and hereby assigns such
indebtedness to Lender, including the right to file proof of claim and to vote
thereon in connection with any such proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code,
including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization. Further, if Guarantor
shall comprise more than one person, firm or corporation, Guarantor agrees that
until such payment in full of the Debt, (a) no one of them shall accept payment
from the others by way of contribution on account of any payment made hereunder
by such party to Lender, (b) no one of them will take any action to exercise or
enforce any rights to such contribution, and (c) if any of Guarantor should
receive any payment, satisfaction or security for any indebtedness of Borrower
to any of Guarantor or for any contribution by the others of Guarantor for
payment made hereunder by the recipient to Lender, the same shall be delivered
to Lender in the form received, endorsed or assigned as may be appropriate for
application on account of, or as security for, the Debt and until so delivered,
shall be held in trust for Lender as security for the Debt.
6. Guarantor agrees that, with or without notice or demand,
Guarantor will reimburse Lender, to the extent that such reimbursement is not
made by Borrower, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the Guaranteed
Recourse Obligations of Borrower or any portion thereof or with the enforcement
of this Guaranty.
7. All moneys available to Lender for application in payment
or reduction of the Debt may be applied by Lender in such manner and in such
amounts and at such time or times and in such order and priority as Lender may
see fit to the payment or reduction of such portion of the Debt as Lender may
elect.
8. Guarantor hereby waives notice of the acceptance hereof,
presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, or any and all
notice of non-payment, non-performance or non-observance, or other proof, or
notice or demand, whereby to charge Guarantor therefor.
9. Guarantor further agrees that the validity of this Guaranty
and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated,
affected or impaired (a) by reason of the assertion by Lender of any rights or
remedies which it may have under or with respect to either the Note, the
Security Instruments, or the Other Security Documents, against any person
obligated thereunder or against the owner of the properties encumbered by the
Security Instruments (collectively, the "Properties"), or (b) by reason of any
failure to file or record any of such instruments or to take or perfect any
security intended to be provided thereby, or (c) by reason of the release or
exchange of any property covered by the Security Instruments or other collateral
for the Loan, or (d) by reason of Lender's failure to exercise, or delay in
exercising, any such right or remedy or any right or remedy Lender may have
hereunder or in respect to this Guaranty, or (e) by reason of the commencement
of a case under the Bankruptcy Code by or against any person obligated under the
Note, the Security Instruments or the Other Security Documents, or the death of
any Guarantor, or (f) by reason of any payment made on the Debt or any other
indebtedness arising under the Note, the Security Instruments or the Other
Security Documents, whether made by Borrower or Guarantor or any other person,
which is required to be refunded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law;
it being understood that no payment so refunded shall be considered as a payment
of any portion of the Debt, nor shall it have the effect of reducing the
liability of Guarantor hereunder. It is further understood, that if Borrower
shall have taken advantage of, or be subject to the protection of, any
2
provision in the Bankruptcy Code, the effect of which is to prevent or delay
Lender from taking any remedial action against Borrower, including the exercise
of any option Lender has to declare the Debt due and payable on the happening of
any default or event by which under the terms of the Note, the Security
Instruments or the Other Security Documents, the Debt shall become due and
payable, Lender may, as against Guarantor, nevertheless, declare the Debt due
and payable and enforce any or all of its rights and remedies against Guarantor
provided for herein.
10. Guarantor further covenants that this Guaranty shall
remain and continue in full force and effect as to any modification, extension
or renewal of the Note, the Security Instruments, or any of the Other Security
Documents, that Lender shall not be under a duty to protect, secure or insure
any security or lien provided by the Security Instruments or other such
collateral, and that other indulgences or forbearance may be granted under any
or all of such documents, all of which may be made, done or suffered without
notice to, or further consent of, Guarantor.
11. As a further inducement to Lender to make the Loan and in
consideration thereof, Guarantor further covenants and agrees (a) that in any
action or proceeding brought by Lender against Guarantor on this Guaranty,
Guarantor shall and does hereby waive trial by jury, (b) Guarantor will maintain
a place of business or an agent for service of process in San Diego, California
and give prompt notice to Lender of the address of such place of business and of
the name and address of any new agent appointed by it, as appropriate, (c) the
failure of Guarantor's agent for service of process to give it notice of any
service of process will not impair or affect the validity of such service or of
any judgment based thereon, (d) if, despite the foregoing, there is for any
reason no agent for service of process of Guarantor available to be served, and
if Guarantor at that time has no place of business in San Diego, California then
Guarantor irrevocably consents to service of process by registered or certified
mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address given in or pursuant to the first
paragraph hereof, Guarantor hereby waiving personal service thereof, (e) that
within thirty days after such mailing, Guarantor so served shall appear or
answer to any summons and complaint or other process and should Guarantor so
served fail to appear or answer within said thirty-day period, said Guarantor
shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered by Lender against the
said party for the amount as demanded in any summons and complaint or other
process so served, (f) Guarantor initially and irrevocably designates Xxxxxx &
Xxxxxxx, with offices on the date hereof at 000 X Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Esq., to receive for and on behalf
of Guarantor service of process in San Diego, California with respect to this
Guaranty, (g) with respect to any claim or action arising hereunder, Guarantor
(i) irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the
states where the Properties are located and the United States District Court
located in the county in which the Properties are located, and appellate courts
from any thereof, and (ii) irrevocably waives any objection which it may have at
any time to the laying on venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Guaranty brought in any such court, irrevocably waives any
claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (h) nothing in this Guaranty will be
deemed to preclude Lender from bringing an action or proceeding with respect
hereto in any other jurisdiction.
12. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and
upon any default of Borrower under the Note, the Security Instruments or the
Other Security Documents, Lender may,
3
at its option, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against Guarantor
to collect and recover the full amount of the liability hereunder or any portion
thereof, without proceeding against Borrower or any other person, or foreclosing
upon, selling, or otherwise disposing of or collecting or applying against any
of the mortgaged property or other collateral for the Loan. Guarantor hereby
waives the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to the obligation
hereunder.
13. Each reference herein to Lender shall be deemed to include
its successors and assigns, to whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty shall
also inure. Each reference herein to Guarantor shall be deemed to include the
heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns
of Guarantor, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this Guaranty.
14. If any party hereto shall be a partnership, the agreements
and obligations on the part of Guarantor herein contained shall remain in force
and application notwithstanding any changes in the individuals composing the
partnership and the term "Guarantor" shall include any altered or successive
partnerships but the predecessor partnerships and their partners shall not
thereby be released from any obligations or liability hereunder.
15. Guarantor (and its representative, executing below, if
any) has full power, authority and legal right to execute this Guaranty and to
perform all its obligations under this Guaranty.
16. All understandings, representations and agreements
heretofore had with respect to this Guaranty are merged into this Guaranty which
alone fully and completely expresses the agreement of Guarantor and Lender.
17. This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts
by some or all of the parties hereto, each of which counterparts shall be an
original and all of which together shall constitute a single agreement of
Guaranty. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Guaranty, or any
counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their
obligations hereunder.
18. This Guaranty may not be modified, amended, waived,
extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to
act on the part of Lender or Borrower, but only by an agreement in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment,
waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.
19. This Guaranty shall be deemed to be a contract entered
into pursuant to the laws of the State of New York and shall in all respects be
governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with applicable federal
law and the laws of the State of New York, without reference or giving effect to
any choice of law doctrine.

with such audit; otherwise, the costs and expenses of such audit shall,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, be paid
by Indemnitee.

expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the
Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties, and arising out of
or in any way relating to any one or more of the following, unless caused by
the gross negligence, fraud, illegal acts or willful misconduct of any
Indemnified Party: (i) any presence of any Hazardous Substances in, on, above
or under any Property; (ii) any past, present or threatened Release of
Hazardous Substances in, on, above, under or from any Property; (iii) any
activity by Indemnitor, any person or entity affiliated with Indemnitor or
tenant or other users of any Property in connection with any actual, proposed
or threatened use, treatment, storage, holding, existence, disposition or
other Release, generation, production, manufacturing, processing, refining,
control, management, abatement, removal, handling, transfer or transportation
to or from the any Property of any Hazardous Substances at any time located
in, under, on or above the such Property; (iv) any activity by Indemnitor,
any person or entity affiliated with Indemnitor or tenant or other users of
any Property in connection with any actual or proposed Remediation of any
Hazardous Substances at any time located in, under, on or above such
Property, whether or not such Remediation is voluntary or pursuant to court
or administrative order, including, but not limited to any removal, remedial
or corrective action; (v) any past, present or threatened violations of any
Environmental Laws (or permits issued pursuant to any Environmental Law) in
connection with any Property or operations thereon, including, but not
limited to any failure by Indemnitor, any person or entity affiliated with
Indemnitor or tenant or other users of such Property to comply with any order
of any governmental authority in connection with Environmental Laws; (vi) the
imposition, recording or filing of any Environmental Lien encumbering any
Property; (vii) any administrative processes or proceedings or judicial
proceedings in any way connected with any matter addressed in this Agreement;
(viii) any past, present or threatened injury to, destruction of or loss of
natural resources in any way connected with any Property, including, but not
limited to costs to investigate and assess such injury, destruction or loss;

user was employed by, or under the control of, Indemnitee) in arranging for
disposal or treatment, or arranging with a transporter for transport for
disposal or treatment, of Hazardous Substances owned or possessed by such
Indemnitor or other users, at any facility or incineration vessel owned or
operated by another person or entity and containing such or similar Hazardous
Substance; (x) any acts of Indemnitor or other users of any Property (except
if said user was employed by, or under the control of, Indemnitee), in
accepting any Hazardous Substances for transport to disposal or treatment
facilities, incineration vessels or sites selected by Indemnitor or such
other users, from which there is a Release, or a threatened Release of any
Hazardous Substance which causes the incurrence of costs for Remediation;
(xi) any personal injury, wrongful death, or property damage caused by the
presence of Hazardous Substances in, on, or under the Properties arising
under any statutory or common law or tort law theory, including, but not
limited to damages assessed for the maintenance of a private or public
nuisance or for the conducting of an abnormally dangerous activity on or near
any Property;
4

or material breach or failure to perform any covenants or other obligations
pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement
to the contrary, the liabilities and obligations of Indemnitor hereunder

and obligations arose solely from Hazardous Substances that: (1) were not
Released on any Property prior to the date that Indemnitee or its nominee
acquired title to such Property, whether by foreclosure, exercise of power of
sale or otherwise and (2) were not Released as the result of any act or
negligence of Indemnitor or any of Indemnitor's affiliates, agents or
contractors. An environmental audit prepared by an environmental consultant
reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee dated the date of Indemnitee's
acquisition of title to a Property whether by foreclosure, exercise of power
of sale or otherwise shall be acceptable evidence for the purpose of the
immediately preceding sentence.

Indemnitor shall defend such Indemnified Party (if requested by any
Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and
other professionals reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Parties may, in their sole and
absolute discretion, engage their own attorneys and other professionals to
defend or assist them, and, at the option of Indemnified Parties, their
attorneys shall act as co-counsel in connection with the resolution of any
claim or proceeding, provided, however, that upon (1) an Event of Default or
(2) Indemnified Parties reasonable belief that the attorneys and/or other
professionals engaged by Indemnitor are not adequately pursuing the
resolution of such claim or proceeding, the attorneys of Indemnified Parties
shall control the resolution of any claim or proceeding. Upon demand,
Indemnitor shall pay or, in the sole and absolute discretion of the
Indemnified Parties, reimburse, the Indemnified Parties for the payment of
reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental
consultants, laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith.

substance, and prepared by a qualified environmental consultant, reasonably
satisfactory in all respects to Indemnitee and indicating that all of the
Properties are in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws

Indemnified Parties may charge and collect, from the date payment was due.

of Indemnitee or other Indemnitee; (c) the right to assert a counterclaim,
other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or
proceeding brought against or by Indemnitee or other Indemnitee; (d) trial by

to the contrary contained herein, Indemnitor hereby agrees to postpone the
exercise of any rights of subrogation with respect to any collateral securing
the Loan until the Loan shall have been paid in full.
17. Indemnitor shall take any and all reasonable actions,
including institution of legal action against third-parties, necessary or
appropriate to obtain reimbursement, payment or compensation from such
persons responsible for the presence of any Hazardous Substances at, in, on,

Indemnitee shall be and hereby is subrogated to all of Indemnitor's rights
now or hereafter in such claims.

analysis and similar procedures on any Property.

Indemnitor to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in any
material liability on the part of Indemnitor, or which would draw into

privilege, power or right.
21. Each party hereto shall, within five (5) business days
of receipt thereof, give written notice to the other party hereto of (a) any
notice or advice from any governmental agency or any source whatsoever with
