PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if Borrower shall well and truly pay to Lender the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note and this Security Instrument, shall well and truly perform the Other Obligations as set forth in this Security Instrument and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every covenant and condition set forth herein and in the Note, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease, terminate and be void; provided however, that Borrower’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof with respect to matters relating to any period of time during which this Security Instrument was in effect shall survive any such payment or release.
ARTICLE 2 - 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 Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined);
4
(c) the payment of all other moneys agreed or provided to be paid by Borrower in the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Loan Documents;
(d) the payment of all sums advanced pursuant to this Security Instrument to protect and preserve the Property and the lien and the security interest created hereby; and
(e) the payment of all sums advanced and costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Debt or any part thereof, any renewal, extension, or change of or substitution for the Debt or any part thereof, or the acquisition or perfection of the security therefor, whether made or incurred at the request of Borrower or Lender.
Section 2.2. OTHER OBLIGATIONS. This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments and transfers made in Article 1 are also given for the purpose of securing the following (the “Other Obligations”):
(a) the performance of all other obligations of Borrower contained herein;
(b) the performance of each obligation of Borrower contained in any other agreement given by Borrower to Lender which is for the purpose of further securing the obligations secured hereby, and any amendments, modifications and changes thereto; and
(c) the performance of each obligation of Borrower contained in any renewal, extension, amendment, modification, consolidation, change of, or substitution or replacement for, all or any part of the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Loan Documents.
Section 2.3. DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. Borrower’s obligations for the payment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Obligations.”
Section 2.4. PAYMENTS. Unless payments are made in the required amount in immediately available funds at the place where the Note is payable, remittances in payment of all or any part of the Debt shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Lender in funds immediately available at the place where the Note is payable (or any other place as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, may have established by delivery of written notice thereof to Borrower) and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined).

ARTICLE 3 - BORROWER COVENANTS
Borrower covenants and agrees that:
Section 3.1. 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 in connection with the creation of the Obligations, the payment of any other sums owed by Borrower to Lender or the performance of any Obligations (collectively the “Other Loan Documents”), are hereby made a part of this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein. The term “Loan Documents”as used herein shall individually and collectively refer to the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this Security Instrument to the contrary, the Obligations of the Borrower under that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith executed by Borrower in favor of Lender (the “Environmental Indemnity”) shall not be deemed or construed to be secured by this Security Instrument or otherwise restricted or affected by the foreclosure of the lien hereof or any other exercise by Lender of its remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such Environmental Indemnity being intended by the signatories thereto to be its (or their) unsecured obligation.
Section 3.2. INSURANCE.
(a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, and shall pay all premiums in accordance with Subsection 3.2(b) below for, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:
(i) comprehensive all risk insurance (including, without limitation, riot and civil commotion, vandalism, malicious mischief, water, fire, burglary and theft and without any exclusion for terrorism) on the Improvements and the Personal Property and in each case (A) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Security Instrument shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Tangible Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing that the deductible shall not exceed the lesser of $10,000.00 or one percent (1%) of the face value of the policy; and (D) containing Demolition Costs, Increased Cost of Construction and “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsements in amounts satisfactory to Lender if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses or the ability to rebuild the Improvements is restricted or prohibited. The Full Replacement Cost may be redetermined from time to time by an appraiser or contractor designated and paid by Lender or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer. No omission on the part of Lender to request any such appraisals shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Subsection;
(ii) comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 and not less than
6
$3,000,000.00 if the Property has one or more elevators, as well as liquor liability insurance in a minimum amount of $2,000,000.00 if any part of the Property is covered by a liquor license and an aggregate coverage limit acceptable to Lender; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all written and oral contracts; (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 11 hereof to the extent the same is available; and (D) to be without deductible;
(iii) business income insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering losses of income and Rents derived from the Property resulting from any risk or casualty required to be insured pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i); (C) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Tangible Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of eighteen (18) months from the date of the loss, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income from the Property for a period of eighteen (18) months. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined by Lender prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period. All insurance proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this Subsection 3.2(a) shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured hereunder from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements: (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a)(i) written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a)(i), (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
(v) workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which the Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000.00 per accident and per disease per employee, and $1,000,000.00 for disease aggregate in respect of any work or operations on or
7
about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);
(vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for explosion), if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender and covering all boilers or other pressure vessels, machinery and equipment located at or about the Property (including, without limitation, electrical equipment, sprinkler systems, heating and air conditioning equipment, refrigeration equipment and piping);
(vii) flood hazard insurance if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area,” flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Note, (b) the Full Replacement Cost, or (c) the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and
(viii) such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance (in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity), sinkhole insurance, mine subsidence insurance and environmental insurance.
(b) All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may from time to time be satisfactory to Lender, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located as admitted or unadmitted carriers which, in either case, have been approved by Lender and which have a claims paying ability rating of AA or better issued by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or with a claims paying ability rating otherwise acceptable to Lender (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”). Such Policies shall not be subject to invalidation due to the use or occupancy of the Property for purposes more hazardous than the use of the Property at the time such Policies were issued. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a), certified copies of the Policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender; provided, however, that in the case of renewal Policies, Borrower may furnish Lender with binders therefor to be followed by the original Policies when issued.
(c) Borrower shall not obtain (i) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 3.2(a) to be furnished
8
by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower, or (ii) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Security Instrument and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer. If Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Subsection 3.2(a). Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder (except in the case of the liability insurance) and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Subsection 3.2(a).
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Subsection 3.2(a) shall name Lender, its successors and assigns, including any servicers, trustees or other designees of Lender, and Borrower as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, and flood insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing Lender clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided on the Property thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an insured;
(iii) each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) Borrower shall furnish to Lender within ten (10) calendar days after Lender’s request therefor, a statement certified by Borrower or a duly authorized officer of Borrower of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender.
9
(g) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by this Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as hereinafter defined).
(h) If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender.
(i) In case of loss covered by Policies, Lender may either (1) settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower if an Event of Default then exists (or if an Event of Default does not then exist, Lender shall have the right to approve any settlement or adjustment of the insurance claim that Borrower desires to agree to if the loss is more than $100,000.00, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), or (2) allow Borrower to agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid upon the loss; provided, that Borrower may adjust losses aggregating not in excess of $100,000.00 if such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and provided that in any case Lender shall and is hereby authorized to collect and receive any such insurance proceeds; and the expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand (unless deducted by and reimbursed to Lender from such proceeds).
(ii) In the event of any insured damage to or destruction of the Property or any part thereof (herein called an “Insured Casualty”), if (A) less than 50% of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Insured Casualty and in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within six (6) months after insurance proceeds are made available and at least six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) to an economic unit not less valuable (including an assessment by Lender of the impact of the termination of any Leases due to such Insured Casualty) and not less useful than the same was prior to the Insured Casualty, and after such restoration will adequately secure the outstanding balance of the Debt, and (B) no Event of Default (hereinafter defined) shall have occurred and be then continuing, then the proceeds of insurance shall be applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property or part thereof subject to Insured Casualty, as provided below; and Borrower hereby covenants and agrees forthwith to commence and diligently to prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding; provided, however, in any event Borrower shall pay all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in advance) of such restoring,
10
repairing, replacing or rebuilding in excess of the net proceeds of insurance made available pursuant to the terms hereof.
(iii) Except as provided above, the proceeds of insurance collected upon any Insured Casualty shall, at the option of Lender in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment of the Debt or applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property or part thereof subject to the Insured Casualty, in the manner set forth below. Any such application to the Debt shall not be considered a voluntary prepayment requiring payment of the prepayment consideration provided in the Note, and shall not reduce or postpone any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note, other than the final payment on the Note.
(iv) Regardless of whether proceeds of insurance, if any, are made available to Borrower for the restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of the Property, Borrower hereby covenants to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable law and plans and specifications approved in advance by Lender.
(v) If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of insurance proceeds held by Lender, such proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon Lender being furnished with (1) evidence satisfactory to it (which evidence may include inspection[s] of the work performed) that the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding covered by the disbursement has been completed in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Lender, (2) evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, (3) funds, or, at Lender’s option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available, sufficient in addition to the proceeds of insurance to complete the proposed restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, and (4) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require and approve; and Lender may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for such restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding be submitted to and approved by Lender prior to commencement of work. With respect to disbursements to be made by Lender: (A) no payment made prior to the final completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; (B) funds other than proceeds of insurance shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and (C) at all times, the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding, free and clear of all liens or claims for lien and the costs described in Subsection 3.2(h)(vi) below. Any surplus which may remain out of insurance
11
proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding shall be paid to any party entitled thereto. In no event shall Lender assume any duty or obligation for the adequacy, form or content of any such plans and specifications, nor for the performance, quality or workmanship of any restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the proceeds of insurance reimbursed to Borrower in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Security Instrument shall be reduced by the reasonable costs (if any) incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection thereof and in the reasonable costs incurred by Lender of paying out such proceeds (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs paid to third parties for inspecting the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding and reviewing the plans and specifications therefor).
Section 3.3. PAYMENT OF TAXES. ETC.
(a) Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges, including without limitation, vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Taxes”), all ground rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Other Charges”), and all charges for utility services provided to the Property 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 allow 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. 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 Loan 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, (iv) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (v) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, (vi) Borrower shall have set aside and deposited with Lender adequate reserves for the
12
payment of the Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless Borrower has paid all of the Taxes, and (vii) if such Taxes have not been paid in full, Borrower shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender to insure the payment of any contested Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon.
Section 3.4. CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment for said condemnation or eminent domain and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceeding, subject to the provisions of this Security Instrument. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Security Instrument and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. Borrower shall cause the award or payment made in any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, which is payable to Borrower, to be paid directly to Lender. Lender may apply any award or payment to the reduction or discharge of the Debt whether or not then due and payable (such application to be free from any prepayment consideration provided in the Note, except that if an Event of Default, or an event which with notice and/or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred, then such application shall be subject to the full prepayment consideration computed in accordance with the Note). If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award or payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. Regardless of whether any award or payment is made available to Borrower for the restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of the Property, Borrower hereby covenants to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, all to be effected in accordance with applicable law and plans and specifications approved in advance by Lender.
Section 3.5. USE AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause the Property to be maintained and operated in a good and safe condition and repair and in keeping with the condition and repair of properties of a similar use, value, age, nature and construction. Borrower shall not use, maintain or operate the Property in any manner which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable, or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto. The Improvements and the Tangible Personal Property shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Personal Property with items of the same utility and of equal or greater value) without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become
13
damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be affected by any proceeding of the character referred to in Section 3.4 hereof and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land. Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Lender. Borrower shall not take any steps whatsoever to convert the Property, or any portion thereof, to a condominium or cooperative form of management.
Section 3.6. WASTE. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Property or, without first obtaining such additional insurance as may be necessary to cover a proposed change in use of the Property, make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way impair the value of the Property or the security of this Security Instrument. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Land, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.
Section 3.7. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; ALTERATIONS.
(a) Borrower shall promptly comply with all existing and future federal, state and local laws, orders, ordinances, governmental rules and regulations or court orders affecting or which may be interpreted to affect the Property, or the use thereof, including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”) (collectively “Applicable Laws”).
(b) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any document regarding Lender’s approval of alterations of the Property, Borrower shall not alter the Property in any manner which would increase Borrower’s responsibilities for compliance with Applicable Laws without the prior written approval of Lender. Lender’s approval of the plans, specifications, or working drawings for alterations of the Property shall create no responsibility or liability on behalf of Lender for their completeness, design, sufficiency or their compliance with Applicable Laws. The foregoing shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Borrower or by any of its tenants. Lender may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of compliance with Applicable Laws from an independent architect, engineer, or other person acceptable to Lender.
(c) Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any notice related to a violation of any Applicable Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Applicable Laws.
(d) Borrower shall take appropriate measures to prevent and will not engage in or knowingly permit any illegal activities at the Property.
14
Section 3.8. BOOKS AND RECORDS.
(a) Borrower shall keep accurate books and records of account in accordance with sound accounting principles in which full, true and correct entries shall be promptly made with respect to Borrower, the Property and the operation thereof, and will permit all such books and records (including without limitation all contracts, statements, invoices, bills and claims for labor, materials and services supplied for the construction, repair or operation to Borrower of the Improvements) to be inspected or audited and copies made by Lender and its representatives during normal business hours and at any other reasonable times. Borrower represents that its chief executive office is as set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Security Instrument and that all books and records pertaining to the Property are maintained at the Property or such other location as may be expressly disclosed to Lender in writing. Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender on or before forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter the following items, each certified by Borrower as being true and correct, in such format and in such detail as Lender or its servicer may request:
(i) a written statement (rent roll) dated as of the last day of each such calendar quarter identifying each of the Leases by the term, space occupied, rental required to be paid (including percentage rents and tenant sales, if applicable), security deposit paid, any rental concessions, all rent escalations, any rents paid more than one (1) month in advance, any special provisions or inducements granted to tenants, any taxes, maintenance and other common charges paid by tenants, all vacancies and identifying any defaults or payment delinquencies thereunder; and
(ii) quarterly and year-to-date operating statements prepared for each calendar quarter during each such reporting period detailing the total revenues received, total expenses incurred, total cost of all capital improvements, total debt service and total cash flow.
(b) Within ninety (90) calendar days following the end of each calendar year, Borrower shall furnish a statement of the financial affairs and condition of the Borrower and the Property including a statement of profit and loss for the Property in such format and in such detail as Lender or its servicer may request, and setting forth the financial condition and the income and expenses for the Property for the immediately preceding calendar year prepared and audited by an independent certified public accountant. Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of all income tax returns, requests for extension and other similar items contemporaneously with its delivery of same to the Internal Revenue Service.
(c) Borrower will permit representatives appointed by Lender, including independent accountants, agents, attorneys, appraisers and any other persons, to visit and inspect during its normal business hours and at any other reasonable times any of the Property and to make photographs thereof, and to write down and record any information such representatives obtain, and shall permit Lender or its representatives to investigate and verify the accuracy of the information furnished to Lender under or in connection
15
with this Security Instrument or any of the Other Loan Documents and to discuss all such matters with its officers, employees and representatives. Borrower will furnish to Lender at Borrower’s expense all evidence which Lender may from time to time reasonably request as to the accuracy and validity of or compliance with all representations and warranties made by Borrower in the Loan Documents and satisfaction of all conditions contained therein. Any inspection or audit of the Property or the books and records of Borrower, or the procuring of documents and financial and other information, by or on behalf of Lender, shall be at Borrower’s expense (not to exceed $1,500.00 per year unless an Event of Default exists) and shall be for Lender’s protection only, and shall not constitute any assumption of responsibility or liability by Lender to Borrower or anyone else with regard to the condition, construction, maintenance or operation of the Property, nor Lender’s approval of any certification given to Lender nor relieve Borrower of any of Borrower’s obligations.
(d) Prior to the transfer of the Loan by Lender pursuant to Section 16.1 hereof, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the reports required by Section 3.8(a) on a monthly basis. Such reports shall be delivered within twenty (20) calendar days after the end of each calendar month.
Section 3.9. PAYMENT FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS. Borrower will promptly pay when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically fabricated materials incurred in connection with the Property and never permit to exist beyond the due date thereof in respect of the Property or any part thereof any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the liens and the security interests hereof, and in any event never permit to be created or exist in respect of the Property or any part thereof any other or additional lien or security interest other than the liens or security interests hereof, except for the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined).
Section 3.10. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall observe and perform each and every term to be observed or performed by Borrower pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Property, or given by Borrower to Lender for the purpose of further securing an obligation secured hereby and any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower agrees that Lender may take such action, by or through Trustee, by Lender itself or otherwise, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender:
(a) Right to Perform Borrower’s Covenants. If Borrower has failed to keep or perform any covenant whatsoever contained in this Security Instrument or the Other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to any person to do so, perform or attempt to perform said covenant and any payment made or expense incurred in the
30
performance or attempted performance of any such covenant, together with any sum expended by Lender that is chargeable to Borrower or subject to reimbursement by Borrower under the Loan Documents, shall be and become a part of the “Debt”, and Borrower promises, upon demand, to pay to Lender, at the place where the Note is payable, all sums so incurred, paid or expended by Lender, with interest from the date when paid, incurred or expended by Lender at the Default Rate.
(b) Right of Entry. Lender may, prior or subsequent to the institution of any foreclosure proceedings, enter upon the Property, or any part thereof, and take exclusive possession of the Property and of all books, records, and accounts relating thereto and to exercise without interference from Borrower any and all rights which Borrower has with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection, or preservation of the Property, including without limitation the right to rent the same for the account of Borrower and to deduct from such Rents all costs, expenses, and liabilities of every character incurred by Lender in collecting such Rents and in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting, or preserving the Property and to apply the remainder of such Rents on the Debt in such manner as Lender may elect. All such costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred by Lender in collecting such Rents and in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting, or preserving the Property, if not paid out of Rents as hereinabove provided, shall constitute a demand obligation owing by Borrower and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Rate, all of which shall constitute a portion of the Debt. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, Lender may invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess Borrower, including specifically one or more actions for forcible entry and detainer, trespass to try title, and restitution. In connection with any action taken by Lender pursuant to this Subsection 10.1(b), Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Borrower resulting from any failure to let the Property, or any part thereof, or from any other act or omission of Lender in managing the Property unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct of Lender, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty, or liability under any Lease or under or by reason hereof or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder. Borrower shall and does hereby agree to indemnify Lender for, and to hold Lender harmless from, any and all liability, loss, or damage, which may or might be incurred by Lender under any such Lease or under or by reason hereof or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder, and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements contained in any such Lease. Should Lender incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including without limitation costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Rate, shall be secured hereby, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender therefor immediately upon demand. Nothing in this Subsection 10.1(b) shall impose any duty, obligation, or responsibility upon Lender for the control, care, management, leasing, or repair of the Property, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any such Lease; nor shall it operate to make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants or by any other parties, or for any hazardous substances or environmental conditions on or under the Property, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any negligence in the management, leasing,
31
upkeep, repair, or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee, or stranger. Borrower hereby assents to, ratifies, and confirms any and all actions of Lender with respect to the Property taken under this subsection.
(c) Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 9.1 (d) or (e) above) and at any time thereafter Lender may, without notice, demand, presentment, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or any other notice or any other action, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower and all other parties obligated in any manner whatsoever on the Debt, declare the entire unpaid balance of the Debt immediately due and payable, and upon such declaration, the entire unpaid balance of the Debt shall be immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(d) or (e) above, the entire unpaid balance of the Debt shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand.
(d) Foreclosure-Power of Sale. Lender may institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial, or nonjudicial, by advertisement or otherwise, for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument or the complete or partial sale of the Property under power of sale or under any applicable provision of law. Lender may, through the Trustee, sell the Property, and all estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand of Borrower therein, and all rights of redemption thereof, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, with such elements of real and/or personal property, and at such time and place and upon such terms as it may deem expedient, or as may be required by applicable law, and in the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property.
(e) Rights Pertaining to Sales. Subject to the requirements of applicable law and except as otherwise provided herein, the following provisions shall apply to any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Property under or by virtue of Subsection 10.1(d) above, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale:
(i) Trustee or Lender may conduct any number of sales from time to time. The power of sale set forth above shall not be exhausted by any one or more such sales as to any part of the Property which shall not have been sold, nor by any sale which is not completed or is defective in Lender’s opinion, until the Debt shall have been paid in full.
(ii) Any sale may be postponed or adjourned by public announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such postponed or adjourned sale without further notice.
(iii) After each sale, Lender, Trustee or an officer of any court empowered to do so shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale a good and sufficient instrument or instruments granting, conveying,
32
assigning and transferring all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the property and rights sold and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the same as specified in the Note. Each of Trustee and Lender is hereby appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower, which appointment is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, in Borrower’s name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the property and rights so sold, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue thereof. Nevertheless, Borrower, if requested by Trustee or Lender, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Trustee, Lender or such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in Trustee’s or Lender’s judgment, for the purposes as may be designated in such request.
(iv) Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any of the instruments referred to in Subsection 10.1(e)(iii) given by Trustee or Lender shall be taken as conclusive and binding against all persons as to evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited.
(v) Any such sale or sales shall operate to divest all of the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Borrower and any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof or any interest therein, by, through or under Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(vi) Upon any such sale or sales, Lender may bid for and acquire the Property and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the Debt the amount of the bid made therefor, after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale, the cost of any enforcement proceeding hereunder, and any other sums which Trustee or Lender is authorized to deduct under the terms hereof, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid.
(vii) Upon any such sale, it shall not be necessary for Trustee, Lender or any public officer acting under execution or order of court to have present or constructively in its possession any of the Property.
(f) Lender’s Judicial Remedies. Lender, or Trustee upon written request of Lender, may proceed by suit or suits, at law or in equity, to enforce the payment of the Debt to foreclose the liens and security interests of this Security Instrument as against all or any part of the Property, and to have all or any part of the Property sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. This remedy shall be cumulative of any other nonjudicial remedies available to Lender under this Security Instrument, the Note or the Other Loan Documents. Proceeding with a request or receiving a judgment for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an election of remedies or bar any available nonjudicial remedy of Lender.
33
(g) Lender’s Right to Appointment of Receiver. Lender, as a matter of right and (i) without regard to the sufficiency of the security for repayment of the Debt and without notice to Borrower, (ii) without any showing of insolvency, fraud, or mismanagement on the part of Borrower, (iii) without the necessity of filing any judicial or other proceeding other than the proceeding for appointment of a receiver, and (iv) without regard to the then value of the Property, shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Property, including (without limitation), the power to collect the Rents, enforce this Security Instrument and, in case of a sale and deficiency, during the full statutory period of redemption (if any), whether there be a redemption or not, as well as during any further times when Borrower, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collection of such Rents. Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the appointment of a receiver or receivers. Any receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of this subsection shall have the usual powers and duties of receivers in such matters.
(h) Commercial Code Remedies. Lender may exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the Personal Property or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Personal Property, and (ii) request Borrower at its expense to assemble the Personal Property and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Personal Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five (5) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower.
(i) Apply Escrow Funds. Lender may apply any Funds (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) and any other sums held in escrow or otherwise by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument or any Other Loan Document to the payment of the following items in any order in its uncontrolled discretion:
(i) Taxes and Other Charges;
(ii) Insurance Premiums;
(iii) Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note;
(iv) Amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Note; and
(v) All other sums payable pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents, including without limitation advances made by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument.
(j) Other Rights. Lender (i) may surrender the Policies maintained pursuant to this Security Instrument or any part thereof, and upon receipt shall apply the unearned premiums as a credit on the Debt, and, in connection therewith, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact (which is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) for Borrower to collect such premiums; and (ii) may apply the Tax
34
and Insurance Escrow Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) and/or the Replacement Escrow Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) and any other funds held by Lender toward payment of the Debt; and (iii) shall have and may exercise any and all other rights and remedies which Lender may have at law or in equity, or by virtue of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise.
(k) Discontinuance of Remedies. In case Lender shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy, or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon same for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such event, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Debt, the Loan Documents, the Property or otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if same had never been invoked.
(1) Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and recourses of Lender granted in the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents, any other pledge of collateral, or otherwise available at law or equity: (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (ii) may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently against Borrower, the Property, or any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Lender; (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Borrower that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse; (iv) shall be nonexclusive; (v) shall not be conditioned upon Lender exercising or pursuing any remedy in relation to the Property prior to Lender bringing suit to recover the Debt; and (vi) in the event Lender elects to bring suit on the Debt and obtains a judgment against Borrower prior to exercising any remedies in relation to the Property, all liens and security interests, including the lien of this Security Instrument, shall remain in full force and effect and may be exercised thereafter at Lender’s option.
(m) Bankruptcy Acknowledgment. In the event the Property or any portion thereof or any interest therein becomes property of any bankruptcy estate or subject to any state or federal insolvency proceeding, then Lender shall immediately become entitled, in addition to all other relief to which Lender may be entitled under this Security Instrument, to obtain (i) an order from the Bankruptcy Court or other appropriate court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to § 362 of the Bankruptcy Code so to permit Lender to pursue its rights and remedies against Borrower as provided under this Security Instrument and all other rights and remedies of Lender at law and in equity under applicable state law, and (ii) an order from the Bankruptcy Court prohibiting Borrower’s use of all “cash collateral” as defined under § 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. In connection with such Bankruptcy Court orders, Borrower shall not contend or allege in any pleading or petition filed in any court proceeding that Lender does not have sufficient grounds for relief from the automatic stay. Any bankruptcy petition or other action taken by the Borrower to stay, condition, or inhibit Lender from exercising its remedies are hereby admitted by Borrower to be in bad faith and Borrower further admits that Lender would have just cause for relief from the automatic stay in order to take such actions authorized under state law.
35
(n) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from any sale, lease, or other disposition made pursuant to this Security Instrument, or the proceeds from the surrender of any insurance policies pursuant hereto, or any Rents collected by Lender from the Property, or the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund or the Replacement Escrow Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) or proceeds from insurance which Lender elects to apply to the Debt pursuant to Article 3 hereof, shall be applied by Trustee, or by Lender, as the case may be, to the Debt in the following order and priority: (1) to the payment of all expenses of advertising, selling, and conveying the Property or part thereof, and/or prosecuting or otherwise collecting Rents, proceeds, premiums or other sums including reasonable attorneys’ fees and a reasonable fee or commission to Trustee, not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00); (2) to that portion, if any, of the Debt with respect to which no person or entity has personal or entity liability for payment (the “Exculpated Portion”), and with respect to the Exculpated Portion as follows: first, to accrued but unpaid interest, second, to matured principal, and third, to unmatured principal in inverse order of maturity; (3) to the remainder of the Debt as follows: first, to the remaining accrued but unpaid interest, second, to the matured portion of principal of the Debt, and third, to prepayment of the unmatured portion, if any, of principal of the Debt applied to installments of principal in inverse order of maturity; (4) the balance, if any or to the extent applicable, remaining after the full and final payment of the Debt to the holder or beneficiary of any inferior liens covering the Property, if any, in order of the priority of such inferior liens (Trustee and Lender shall hereby be entitled to rely exclusively on a commitment for title insurance issued to determine such priority); and (5) the cash balance, if any, to the Borrower. The application of proceeds of sale or other proceeds as otherwise provided herein shall be deemed to be a payment of the Debt like any other payment. The balance of the Debt remaining unpaid, if any, shall remain fully due and owing in accordance with the terms of the Note and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.2. RIGHT OF ENTRY. Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times.

ARTICLE 12 - SECURITY AGREEMENT
Section 12.1. SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Security Instrument is both a real property mortgage and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property. Borrower by executing and delivering this Security Instrument has granted and hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations, a security interest in the Property to the full extent that the Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called in this paragraph the “Collateral”). Borrower hereby agrees with Lender to execute and deliver to Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, such financing statements, continuation statements, other uniform commercial code forms and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof, and such further assurances as Lender may from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Lender’s security interest herein granted. This Security Instrument shall also constitute a “fixture filing” for the purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code. All or part of the Property are or are to become fixtures. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Security Instrument. If an Event of Default shall occur, Lender, in addition to any other rights and remedies which they may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon
40
request or demand of Lender, Borrower shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five (5) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Obligations in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of any Borrower, such Borrower shall notify Lender thereof, and promptly after request shall execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms as are necessary to maintain the priority of Lender’s lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. If Lender shall require the filing or recording of additional Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements, Borrower shall, promptly after request, execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements as Lender shall deem necessary, and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof it being understood and agreed, however, that no such additional documents shall increase Borrower’s obligations under the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attomey-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing or other statements signed only by Lender, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, in connection with the Collateral covered by this Security Instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall appear and defend in any action or proceeding which affects or purports to affect the Property and any interest or right therein, whether such proceeding effects title or any other rights in the Property (and in conjunction therewith, Borrower shall fully cooperate with Lender in the event Lender is a party to such action or proceeding).
ARTICLE 13 - WAIVERS
Section 13.1. MARSHALLING AND OTHER MATTERS. Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein.
