necessity of obtaining the consent of any Person. This Mortgage constitutes a
valid, binding and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property, subject
only to the Permitted Encumbrances (as said term is defined in the Credit
Agreement). Grantor shall cause the representation and warranties in this
Section 4 to continue to be true in each and every respect.

of Section 5.3 of the Credit Agreement, all buildings, structures and other
improvements which are presently erected or in the future are to be erected upon

of this Mortgage.
Section 6. No Additional Liens. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.8 of
the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not, without the prior express written
consent of the Mortgagee, remove or suffer to be removed from the Mortgaged

-9-
located) and including all personal property owned by Grantor located on and
used in connection with the Real Property, presently or in the future to be
incorporated into, installed in, annexed or affixed to the Mortgaged Property
(unless such fixtures and property have been replaced with similar fixtures of
equal or greater value; are removed by a tenant in accordance with the rights of
such tenant under its Lease; or are sold, disposed of or removed in accordance
with the terms of the Credit Agreement); nor, except as expressly provided or
permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, will the Grantor execute or cause to
be executed any security interest upon any such fixtures, additions to,
substitutions or replacements thereof or upon any fixtures in the future to be
installed in, annexed or affixed to the Mortgaged Property, without the prior
express written consent of the Mortgagee.

punctually pay when due the Secured Indebtedness. Grantor will perform and
observe all of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other
Fundamental Documents to which it is a party. Grantor shall duly perform and
abide by the terms and covenants herein.
Section 8. Waiver. The acceptance by the Trustee or Mortgagee of any
payments hereunder, after Default, or the failure of the Trustee or Mortgagee,
in any one or more instances to insist upon strict performance by the Grantor of
any terms and covenants of this Mortgage or to exercise any option or election
herein conferred, shall not be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment for the
future of any such terms, covenants, elections or options.
Section 9. Mortgage as Security Agreement. This Mortgage constitutes a
security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the
Real Property is situated, and the Grantor hereby grants to the Mortgagee a

owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantor, and installed or to be installed in

necessary or desirable to perfect or confirm the lien of this Mortgage with
respect to such property, in all cases without the signature of Grantor or to
execute such items as attorney-in-fact for Grantor; provided, that Mortgagee
shall provide copies of any such documents or instruments to Grantor.
Notwithstanding any release of any or all of that property included in the
Mortgaged Property which is deemed "real property," and

hereof shall survive as a security agreement with respect to the security
interest created hereby and referred to above until the Bank Credit Termination
Date or until this Mortgage is otherwise discharged or released in accordance
with the terms of the Credit Agreement. This instrument shall be deemed a
fixture financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in

imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Mortgage, any mortgage supplemental hereto, any

of the passage of any law or regulation which changes in any way the laws now in
force for the taxation of mortgages, or debts secured thereby, for state or
local purposes, or the manner of the operation of any such taxes, so as to

Mortgagee within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such casualty.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other
provision of Applicable Law, the proceeds of Insurance Policies coming into the
possession of Trustee or Mortgagee shall not be deemed trust funds and such
proceeds shall be held, applied, and disbursed in accordance with Section 2.8(e)
of the Credit Agreement, without affecting the lien of the Mortgage for the full
amount secured hereby before such payment took place.

$300,000 or more, Grantor will notify Mortgagee in writing of the pendency of
such proceedings. Grantor shall, at its sole expense, diligently prosecute any
such proceeding. All Condemnation Awards shall be held, applied, and disbursed
in accordance with Section 2.8(f) of the Credit Agreement.
Section 17. Compliance with Laws. Grantor agrees to comply or cause
compliance with all Applicable Laws relating to the Mortgaged Property as and to
the extent required by the terms of the Credit Agreement. Without limiting any
other provision of this Mortgage, the Grantor shall not initiate, consent to or
affirmatively support any change in applicable zoning which would materially and
adversely affect the value of the lien created by this Mortgage or seek any
zoning variance or permission which would materially and adversely affect the
value of the lien created by this Mortgage, in either case without the consent
of Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or except to the
extent Grantor is required to take any of such actions, or to cooperate
therewith pursuant to the terms of any Lease.
Section 18. Environmental Laws. Grantor shall comply or cause compliance
with all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Credit Agreement
relating to compliance with Environmental Laws; notification requirements with
respect to violations or potential violations thereof; testing, sampling and
investigation requirements; and all other requirements and obligations with
respect to Environmental Laws, in each case as and to the extent required in the
Credit Agreement. Nothing herein, in the Credit Agreement or other Fundamental
Documents shall be construed as devolving control of the Real Property or
imposing "owner or operator" status upon Trustee or Mortgagee prior to any
purchase of the Real Property by Mortgagee at foreclosure or the taking of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure.
Section 19. Indemnification. If any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to the Mortgaged Property, this Mortgage or any of the transactions
contemplated herein shall be
-12-
commenced, to which action or proceeding the holder of this Mortgage is made a
party, or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the lien of this
Mortgage, the expense of any litigation to prosecute or defend the rights and
lien created by this Mortgage (including reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and
disbursements through all appeals but excluding any such expenses to the extent
incurred (x) by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct, as
determined by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, of
Mortgagee, or (y) in any litigation in which Mortgagee and Grantor are adverse
to each other, and in which the Grantor prevails on its claims and the Mortgagee
does not prevail on its defenses or its counterclaims interposed in such
litigation), shall be paid by the Grantor, and until so paid, any such sum and
the interest thereon shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property, prior to any
right, or title to, interest in or claim upon the Mortgaged Property attaching
or accruing subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage, and shall be deemed to be
secured by this Mortgage. In any action or proceeding to foreclose this
Mortgage, or to recover or collect the debt secured hereby, the provisions of
law respecting the recovery of costs, disbursements and allowances shall prevail
unaffected by this covenant. The indemnity obligations of Grantor set forth in
this Section 19 are in addition to and not in limitation of any indemnity
obligations provided in the Credit Agreement and shall survive (on an unsecured
basis) the Bank Credit Termination Date, the termination of the Credit Agreement
and/or the discharge and release of this Mortgage.
Section 20. Assignment of Leases and Rents. The Grantor hereby assigns to
the Mortgagee all Leases, rents, issues and profits (collectively the "Rents")
relating to or arising out of or from the Mortgaged Property as further security
for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness secured hereby, and the Grantor
grants to the Trustee and Mortgagee the right to enter upon and to take
possession of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and
to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents after
payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account of the Secured
Indebtedness. The assignments of the Leases and Rents are and shall be present,
absolute and irrevocable assignments and not merely the passing of a security
interest and such assignments shall continue in effect until the Bank Credit
Termination Date or until this Mortgage is otherwise discharged and released in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; provided however, for so long
as no Event of Default exists, the Trustee and Mortgagee hereby waive the right
to enter upon and to take possession of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose
of collecting the Rents and further grant to Grantor a revocable license to
collect the Rents. Said license shall terminate and be revoked automatically
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Grantor shall not, without the
written consent of the Mortgagee (i) receive or collect rent from any tenant of
the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof for a period of more than one month
in advance, (excluding any security deposits as provided in leases expressly
approved by the Mortgagee or otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement); and
(ii) except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, assign or attempt to
assign the Leases or the Rents to any Person other than Mortgagee. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Grantor shall pay the Rents or cause the
Rents to be paid to the Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to receive the
Rents.
-13-
Section 21. Mortgagee's Performance of Grantor's Obligations. Subject to
the restrictions on the following actions contained in any Lease and Grantor's
ability to enforce the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner, if Grantor
shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do hereunder, under
the Credit Agreement or other Fundamental Document, or any representation or
warranty of Grantor shall be breached, Mortgagee or Trustee may (but shall not
be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach,
and there shall be added to the debt secured by this Mortgage until paid, the
costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee or Trustee in so doing (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements through
all appeals), and any and all amounts expended by Mortgagee or Trustee in taking
any such action shall be repayable upon demand therefor and shall bear interest
at a rate per annum set forth in Section 2.9(a)(iii) of the Credit Agreement
from time to time in effect from the date advanced to the date of repayment. Any
such sums and the interest thereon shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property
prior to any other lien attaching to or accruing subsequent to the lien of this
Mortgage to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 22. No Waiver of Existing or Future Rights. No other security
previously or hereafter granted by Grantor to Trustee or Mortgagee to secure
payment of the amount secured by this Mortgage shall be impaired or affected by
this Mortgage; and no security subsequently taken by Trustee or Mortgagee to
secure payment of the amount secured by this Mortgage shall affect or impair the
lien of this Mortgage, but all such additional security shall be deemed
cumulative. Trustee or Mortgagee may resort for payment of the amount secured by
this Mortgage to any security held by Trustee or Mortgagee, in such order and
manner as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect.
Section 23. Permitted Exceptions. Except as permitted pursuant to the
Credit Agreement, at no time throughout the term of this Mortgage shall the
Grantor create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, deed of trust,
pledge, lien, security interest or encumbrance on or with respect to any of the
Mortgaged Property.
Section 24. Lease Provisions. Grantor covenants and agrees specifically
with respect to each Lease, and the leasehold estate created thereunder that:
(a) In case any proceeds of insurance upon the Land, the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof are deposited with any person other than the Mortgagee
pursuant to the requirements of the Lease, Grantor will promptly notify the
Mortgagee in writing of the name and address of the person with whom such
proceeds have been deposited and the amount so deposited.
(b) Grantor will promptly notify the Mortgagee in writing of any request
made by either party to a Material Lease to the other party thereto for
arbitration or appraisal proceedings pursuant to such Lease, and of the
institution of any arbitration or appraisal proceedings and promptly deliver to
Mortgagee a copy of the determination of the arbitrators or appraisers in each
such proceeding.
-14-
(c) As further security for the Secured Indebtedness, Grantor hereby agrees
to deposit with the Mortgagee a fully executed counterpart of the Lease and all
supplements thereto and amendments thereof, in each case if and to the extent
Grantor possesses such documents, to be retained by the Mortgagee until the Bank
Credit Termination Date or until this Mortgage is otherwise discharged and
released in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
(d) As to any Material Lease relating to all or any portion of the
Mortgaged Property, Grantor shall (i) as and to the extent required under the
provisions of Section 5.8 of the Credit Agreement, appear in and defend any
action or proceeding arising under or in any manner connected with such Lease or
the obligations of Grantor as lessor thereunder; (ii) exercise, within ten (10)
days after a request by Mortgagee, any right to request from the lessee a
certificate with respect to the status thereof; (iii) deliver to Mortgagee upon
Mortgagee's request, a written statement, certified by Grantor as being true,
correct and complete, to the best of Grantor's knowledge, containing the names
of all lessees under Material Leases affecting the Mortgaged Property, the terms
of all such Leases and the spaces occupied and rentals payable thereunder, and a
list of all Material Leases which are then in default, including the nature and
magnitude of such default.
(e) All Leases entered into by Grantor after the date hereof shall provide
that all rights of any lessees thereunder shall be subject and subordinate in
all respects to the lien and provisions of this Mortgage unless Mortgagee shall
otherwise elect in writing. With respect to such Leases, Grantor shall use all
commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Mortgagee as soon as reasonably
practicable after the effective date of such Leases, executed and acknowledged
subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements and estoppel
certificates, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and
Grantor; provided, that commercially reasonable efforts shall not be construed
as requiring payment of any consent fee or other consideration for any third
party's execution and delivery of any such agreement.
Section 25. Ground Lease Provisions. (a) Grantor covenants and agrees
specifically with respect to each Ground Lease and the leasehold estate created
thereunder that, subject to the restrictions on any of the following actions
contained in any Lease and the Grantor's ability to enforce the Leases in a
commercially reasonable manner, Grantor shall maintain the Ground Lease in full
force and effect and not take or allow to be taken any action that would
terminate or cancel, or permit the termination or cancellation of, the Ground
Lease without the prior written consent of Mortgagee and the Required Lenders,
which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the obligation of Grantor to perform the covenants and agreements set
forth in this Section 25(a) shall be no greater than the obligations of Grantor
set forth in the Credit Agreement.
(b) Grantor shall pay on or before the due dates thereof all rents and
other amounts payable under the provisions of the Ground Lease (subject to the
expiration of any cure period applicable thereto) and subject to the
restrictions on the following actions contained in any Lease and Xxxxxxx's
ability to enforce the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner, will timely
-15-
and fully observe and perform all of the terms, covenants, agreements and
conditions of the Ground Lease required therein to be observed and performed by
Grantor as lessee; provided however, that the obligation of Grantor to perform
the covenants and agreements set forth in this sentence shall be no greater than
the obligations of Grantor set forth in Section 5.8 of the Credit Agreement.
Grantor shall upon written request, furnish to Mortgagee satisfactory evidence
of payment evidencing the payment of all rents due thereunder, which evidence
shall be furnished to Mortgagee semiannually for the preceding months of such
semiannual period. Grantor will not do or permit anything to be done, the doing
of which or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will terminate
or impair or tend to impair the security of this Mortgage or will be grounds for
terminating the Ground Lease or declaring a forfeiture thereof; provided
however, that the obligation of Grantor to perform the covenants and agreements
set forth in this sentence shall be no greater than the obligations of Grantor
set forth in Section 5.8 of the Credit Agreement.
(c) Grantor agrees that in the event of the acquisition by Grantor at any
time of the fee estate in the Land described in Schedule "A" attached hereto, or
any part thereof, there shall be no merger of such fee estate with the leasehold
estate created and existing by virtue of the Ground Lease, and the Ground Lease
shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms as a separate
and distinct estate in the land.
(d) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Mortgagee's
election, Mortgagee may make any payments or do any act or thing required to be
paid or done by the Grantor as lessee under the Ground Lease. Thereupon
Mortgagee shall in addition to all other remedies of Mortgagee available herein,
in the Credit Agreement or other Fundamental Documents, be fully subrogated to
any and all rights of Grantor, as lessee, under the terms and provisions of the
Ground Lease arising from or relating to such payment or performance.
(e) Grantor will not surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground
Lease, nor terminate or cancel the Ground Lease, in each case without the
consent of the Mortgagee and the Required Lenders, which consents shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and Grantor will not modify, change, supplement, alter,
or amend the Ground Lease either orally or in writing other than as permitted by
Section 6.21 of the Credit Agreement.
(f) No release or forbearance of any obligations under the Ground Lease,
pursuant to the Ground Lease or otherwise, shall release Grantor from any of its
obligations under this Mortgage.
(g) Grantor will promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of the commencement
of a proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws by or against the lessor under
a Ground Lease.
(h) If any of the Secured Indebtedness secured hereby remains unpaid at the
time when notice may be given by the lessee under the Ground Lease of the
exercise of any right to renew or extend the term of the Ground Lease, Grantor
will properly and timely exercise such right
-16-
of extension or renewal and promptly give notice to the lessor of the exercise
of such right of extension or renewal, provided that Grantor shall not be
obligated to exercise any right to renew or extend the term of the Ground Lease
unless the property which is the subject of such Ground Lease has been subleased
by the Grantor pursuant to a Material Lease, and the term of the Ground Lease
will expire prior to the expiration of such sublease if such renewal or
extension right is not exercised by Grantor.
(i) In case any proceeds of insurance upon the Land, the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof are deposited with any person other than Mortgagee pursuant
to the requirements of the Ground Lease, Grantor will promptly notify Mortgagee
in writing of the name and address of the person with whom such proceeds have
been deposited and the amount so deposited.
(j) Grantor will promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any request made
by either party to the Ground Lease to the other party thereto for arbitration
or appraisal proceedings pursuant to the Ground Lease, and of the institution of
any arbitration or appraisal proceedings and promptly deliver to Mortgagee a
copy of the determination of the arbitrators or appraisers in each such
proceeding.
(k) As further security for the Secured Indebtedness, Xxxxxxx hereby agrees
to deposit with the Mortgagee a fully executed counterpart of the Ground Lease
and all supplements thereto and amendments thereof, to be retained by the
Mortgagee until the Secured Indebtedness secured hereby is fully paid, in each
case if and to the extent Grantor possesses such documents.
(l) For purposes of Section 4 of Article 1, the term "ownership interest in
the Real Property" shall mean "leasehold estate in the Real Property."
Section 26. Transfer of Mortgaged Property. Except as permitted pursuant to
the provisions of Section 6.8 of the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not sell,
transfer, convey or assign all or any portion of, or any interest in the
Mortgaged Property, whether legal or equitable, by outright sale, deed,
installment sale contract, land contract, contract for deed, leasehold interest,
lease option, contract or any other method of conveyance of real property
interests.
Section 27. Future Advances. This Mortgage shall secure the payment of all
loans, monies, credit and other Secured Indebtedness advanced under the Credit
Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents and/or this Mortgage or otherwise,
whether the entire amount shall have been advanced at the date hereof or at a
later date, or having been advanced, shall have been repaid in part and further
advances made at a later date, and whether or not related to the original
advances, together with the specified interest thereon. It is understood that,
at any time before the cancellation and release of this Mortgage, the Credit
Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents and/or this Mortgage or other
document related to any Secured Indebtedness, including the terms of repayment,
may from time to time be modified or amended in writing thereon by the parties
liable thereon and the holder thereof to include any future advance or advances
for any purpose made by the holder, at its option, to or for said parties liable
thereon.
-17-
Section 28. Application of Payments and Repayments. So long as the balance
of the Loans exceeds the portion of the Secured Indebtedness secured by this
Mortgage, any payments and repayments of the Loans by Borrower shall not be
deemed to be applied against, or to reduce, the portion of the Secured
Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage. Such payments shall instead be deemed to
reduce only such portions of the Secured Indebtedness as are secured by
mortgages and deeds of trust encumbering real property located outside the State
in which the Real Property is located, which mortgages and deeds of trust also
secure in part the Secured Indebtedness (except to the extent, if any, that
specific mortgages and deeds of trust in such states contain specific
limitations on the amount secured).
Section 29. Other Security. Trustee or Mortgagee may resort to any other
security held by Trustee or Mortgagee for the payment of the Secured
Indebtedness or the performance of the Obligations in such order and manner as
Mortgagee may elect; provided however, that Trustee or Mortgagee may resort to
the sale of any other security held by Trustee or Mortgagee for the payment of
the Secured Indebtedness or the performance of the Obligations to the extent
that the sale of any such other security is, in the reasonable judgment of
Mortgagee, necessary for the payment of the Secured Indebtedness or the
performance of the Obligations and no such action by Trustee or Mortgagee shall
operate to modify or terminate any of the rights, powers or remedies contained
in the Credit Agreement or other Fundamental Documents.
Section 30. No Exhaustion of Remedies Required. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, neither Trustee nor Mortgagee shall be under
any duty to Grantor, any Affiliate, or others, including, without limitation,
the holder of any junior, senior or subordinate mortgage on the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof or on any other security held by Trustee or
Mortgagee, to exercise or exhaust all or any of the rights, powers and remedies
available to Trustee or Mortgagee, whether under this Mortgage or any other
document evidencing or securing the payment of the Secured Indebtedness or the
performance of the Obligations prior to the sale of the Mortgaged Property.
Section 31. No Merger of Estates. If the Real Property consists of a
leasehold estate, then so long as the Secured Indebtedness shall remain unpaid,
unless Mortgagee shall otherwise consent, the fee title to any leasehold estate
in the Real Property created by the Lease shall not merge but shall always be
kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates either in
the lessor or in the lessee under the Lease or in a third party, by purchase or
otherwise. Grantor further covenants and agrees that, in case it shall acquire
the fee title, or any other estate, title or interest in the Real Property, or
any part thereof, covered by the Lease or this Mortgage, this Mortgage shall
attach to and cover and be a lien upon such other estate so acquired, and such
other estate so acquired by Grantor shall be mortgaged to Mortgagee and the lien
hereof spread to cover such estate with the same force and effect as though
specifically herein mortgaged. Grantor shall, upon demand, execute such further
instruments to facilitate the intent of this Section as Trustee or Mortgagee
shall reasonably request.
-18-
Section 32. Revolving Credit Loans. The Obligations secured by this
Mortgage include Revolving Credit Loans made, and Obligations relating to
Letters of Credit issued or extended under the Credit Agreement which are
advanced, paid and readvanced from time to time. Notwithstanding the amount
outstanding at any particular time, this Mortgage secures the total amount of
Obligations (except to the extent, if any, that the amount secured by this
Mortgage is limited to fixed amounts in certain states specified in this
Mortgage). The unpaid balance of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Obligations
relating to Letters of Credit issued or extended under the Credit Agreement may
at certain times be, or be reduced to, zero. A zero balance, by itself, does not
affect any Issuing Bank's obligation to issue or extend Letters of Credit or to
make payments upon draws under Letters of Credit or any Lender's obligation to
advance Revolving Credit Loans or to participate in Letters of Credit subject to
the conditions stated in the Credit Agreement. Each of the security interest of
the Trustee or Mortgagee hereunder and the priority of the lien of this Mortgage
will remain in full force and effect with respect to all of the Obligations
notwithstanding such a zero balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, and
obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and the lien of this Mortgage will
not be extinguished, terminated or released except as expressly provided in this
Mortgage or the Credit Agreement.
ARTICLE II
----------
THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVENTS SHALL BE AN
EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THIS MORTGAGE:
Section 1. Event of Default Under the Fundamental Documents. The occurrence
of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or other Fundamental
Documents.
Section 2. Transfers. If the Mortgaged Property, any part thereof, any
interest therein, or any interest in Grantor shall be transferred, conveyed,
sold, assigned or encumbered, except as expressly permitted by this Mortgage,
the Credit Agreement or other Fundamental Documents.
Section 3. Breach of Covenants. Grantor shall have failed to perform any of
the terms, covenants, conditions or undertakings contained in this Mortgage, and
such default shall continue unremedied for thirty (30) days after a Grantor
receives notice thereof from Mortgagee.
ARTICLE III
-----------
SHOULD ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT BE MADE BY THE GRANTOR, THE
TRUSTEE OR THE MORTGAGEE MAY TAKE ANY OR ALL OF THE
FOLLOWING ACTIONS, AT THE SAME OR AT DIFFERENT TIMES:
-19-
Section 1. Acceleration. The Trustee or Mortgagee may declare the entire
Secured Indebtedness to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such
declaration, the entire unpaid balance of the Secured Indebtedness shall be
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or further
notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Grantor, anything
herein or in any other Fundamental Documents notwithstanding.
Section 2. Possession. The Trustee or Mortgagee shall have the right
forthwith after any such Event of Default to enter upon, and take possession of,
the Mortgaged Property, and to lease and let the said Mortgaged Property, and to
receive all the Rents thereof which are overdue, due or to become due, and to
apply the same, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account
of the amounts hereby secured, and the holder of this Mortgage is given and
granted full power and authority to do any act or thing which the Grantor or the
successors or assigns of the Grantor who may then own the Mortgaged Property
might or could do in connection with the management and operation of the
Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, complete the construction of
the Improvements and, in the course of such completion, make such changes as
Mortgagee deems advisable). This remedy shall be effective either with or
without any action brought to foreclose this Mortgage and without applying at
any time for a receiver of such rents. Costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, all reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and charges through all
appeals) incurred by the Trustee and Mortgagee under this Section shall become
part of the Secured Indebtedness secured hereunder.
Section 3. Foreclosure. (a) The Trustee or Mortgagee may institute an
action of mortgage foreclosure, or take other action as the law may allow, at
law or in equity, for the enforcement of this Mortgage, and proceed thereon to
final judgment and execution of the entire amount secured hereby including costs
of suit, interest and reasonable attorneys' fees. In case of any sale of the
Mortgaged Property by virtue of judicial proceedings, the Mortgaged Property may
be sold in one parcel and as an entirety or in such parcels, manner or order as
the Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect. The failure to make any tenant a
party defendant to a foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose its rights will not
be asserted by the Grantor as a defense in any proceeding instituted by the
Trustee or Mortgagee to collect the Obligations secured hereby or any deficiency
remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property. Costs and
expenses incurred by the Mortgagee or Trustee (including, without limitation,
all reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and charges through all appeals) under
this Section shall become part of the Secured Indebtedness secured hereby.
Proceeds realized from a foreclosure of this Mortgage shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of this Article 3.
(b) If Mortgagee elects to have foreclosure by exercise of the power of
sale granted herein:
(i) Upon such election, Trustee or Mortgagee shall give such notice of
an Event of Default and election to sell as may then be required by
Applicable Law, and shall advertise the sale in the manner prescribed by
Applicable Law.
-20-
Upon the expiration of such time following the advertisement of sale, and
the giving of such notice of sale as may then be required by Applicable
Law, and without the necessity of any demand on Grantor, the Trustee or the
Mortgagee as applicable, at the time and place specified in the notice and
advertisement of sale, shall sell the Mortgaged Property, upon such terms
and conditions as shall be required under Applicable Law. The Trustee or
the Mortgagee, as applicable, may from time to time postpone any sale by
public announcement at the time and place noticed therefor. Any person,
including Grantor, Trustee or Mortgagee, may purchase at any sale.
(ii) Upon any sale, the Trustee or Mortgagee, as applicable, Trustee
shall execute and deliver to the purchaser a deed conveying the Mortgaged
Property, with special warranty, and the purchaser shall be let into
immediate possession. If Grantor, or its heir, executor, administrator,
successor or assign, occupies the Mortgaged Property at the time of its
sale: (x) each and all shall immediately become the tenant of the
purchaser, under a tenancy from day to day, terminable at the will of
either tenant or landlord, at a reasonable rent per day based upon the
value of the Mortgaged Property, such rent to be due daily to the
purchaser; (y) an action in unlawful detainer shall lie if the tenant holds
over after a demand in writing for possession of the Mortgaged Property;
and (z) this agreement and the deed delivered by the Trustee or Mortgagee,
as applicable, shall constitute the agreement under which any such tenant's
possession arose and continued. The recitals in any deed delivered by
Trustee of facts, such as the occurrence of an Event of Default, the giving
of notice of default and notice of sale, demand that such sale be made,
postponement of sale, terms of sale, sale, purchase, payment of purchase
money and other facts affecting the regularity or validity of such sale or
disposition, shall be prima facie proof of the truth of such facts.
(iii) The Trustee or the Mortgagee, as applicable, is hereby
irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Grantor to
make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of
the Mortgaged Property and rights so-sold and to execute all necessary
instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer. The Trustee or the
Mortgagee, as applicable, may substitute one or more Persons with like
power. Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms all that Trustee or Mortgagee,
or any substitute of either of them, shall lawfully do by virtue-hereof.
Nevertheless, upon request by Trustee or Mortgagee, Grantor shall ratify
and confirm any sale by executing and delivering to Trustee , Mortgagee or
the purchaser all instruments requested by Trustee or Mortgagee.
(c) Upon any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under or by virtue
of the power of sale herein granted, judicial proceedings or a judgment or
decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee (on its behalf or on behalf of the
Secured Parties) and any Secured Party may
-21-
bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and Mortgagee
and any Secured Party in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for
the sales price by crediting against the sales price some or all of the Secured
Indebtedness owing to such Secured Party (or, in the case of Mortgagee, owing to
all Secured Parties) after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the
costs of the action and any other sums which Trustee or Mortgagee is authorized
to deduct.
(d) Any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under or by virtue of
the power of sale herein granted, judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree
of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all of the estate, right,
title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of
Grantor in and to the Mortgaged Property and rights so sold, and shall be a
perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Grantor and all Persons who
may at any time claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under
Grantor. Grantor hereby expressly waives any right to direct the order in which
the Mortgaged Property shall be sold pursuant hereto.
(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor will not at any time
insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim, take or insist upon any
benefit or advantage of any stay, extension or moratorium law; any law
pertaining to the marshaling of assets or the administration of estates or
decedents; any exemption from execution or sale (including, but not limited to,
any exemption of homestead); any law providing for valuation or appraisal prior
to any sale pursuant to this Mortgage, or any decree, judgment or order of any
court of competent jurisdiction; any law allowing redemption of Mortgaged
Property sold; or any law, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may
affect the covenants and terms or performance of this Mortgage; and Grantor (for
itself and all who claim under it) hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of such laws, and covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted or delegated to Trustee or Mortgagee, but
to suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no such laws had
been made or enacted.
(f) Grantor hereby requests that a copy of any Notice of Default and a copy
of any Notice of Sale under this Mortgage be mailed to Grantor at Grantor's
address for Notices as set forth in Section 2 of Article IV.
Section 4. Sale. The Trustee or Mortgagee may, either with or without entry
or taking possession of the Mortgaged Property as provided in this Mortgage or
otherwise, personally or by its agents, and without prejudice to the right to
bring an action for foreclosure of this Mortgage, sell the Mortgaged Property or
any part thereof pursuant to any procedures provided by Applicable Law and all
estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand therein, and right of
redemption thereof, at one or more sales as an entirety or in parcels, and at
such time and place, and upon such terms and after such notice as may be
required or permitted by Applicable Law.
-22-
Section 5. Application of Proceeds; Excess Monies. The proceeds of any sale
made under or by virtue of this Article, whether made under the power of sale
herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or
decree of foreclosure and sale, together with any other sums which may then be
held by Trustee or Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage, whether under the
provisions of this Article or otherwise, shall be applied in accordance with
Applicable Law, and to the extent not inconsistent, as follows:
(a) first, to Mortgagee for payment of the costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, all reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and charges through
all appeals) of such sale and of all expenses, liabilities and advances made or
incurred by Trustee or Mortgagee under this Mortgage, and all taxes and
assessments due upon the Mortgaged Property at the time of such sale, except any
taxes or assessments subject to which the Mortgaged Property shall have been
sold;
(b) second, to the payment of whatever may then remain unpaid on account of
the Secured Indebtedness with interest thereon from the date such sums were
required to be paid in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the
Fundamental Documents or other documents related to any Secured Indebtedness;
and,
(c) the balance to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
Section 6. Deficiency Decree. If, at any foreclosure proceeding, the
Mortgaged Property shall be sold for a sum less than the total amount of
indebtedness for which judgment is therein given, the judgment creditor shall be
entitled to the entry of a deficiency decree against Grantor and against the
property of Grantor for the amount of such deficiency; and Grantor does hereby
irrevocably consent to the appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property
and the property of Grantor and of the Rents thereof after such sale and until
such deficiency decree is satisfied in full.
Section 7. Appointment of Receiver. The Trustee or Mortgagee may have a
receiver of the Rents of the Mortgaged Property appointed without the necessity
of proving either the depreciation or the inadequacy of the value of the
security or the insolvency of the Grantor or any person who may be legally or
equitably liable to pay monies secured hereby, and the Grantor and each such
person waive such proof and consent to the appointment of a receiver.
Section 8. Waivers of Right. Along with any and all agreements, waivers and
relinquishments made by Grantor under this Mortgage and the other Fundamental
Documents, Grantor waives (i) the benefit of all Applicable Laws now existing or
that hereafter may be enacted providing for any appraisement before sale of any
portion of the Mortgaged Property; and (ii) the benefit of all Applicable Laws
that may be hereafter enacted in any way extending the time for enforcing
collection of the Secured Indebtedness, or creating or extending a period of
redemption from any sale made in collecting the Secured Indebtedness. Xxxxxxx
acknowledges and agrees that the Real Property Assets are located in more than
one State and therefor Grantor
-23-
waives and relinquishes any and all rights it may have, whether at law or
equity, to require Trustee or Mortgagee to proceed to enforce or exercise any
rights, powers and remedies they may have in any particular manner, in any
particular order, or in any particular State or other jurisdiction. Grantor
further agrees that any particular proceeding, including without limitation
foreclosure through court action (in a state or federal court) or power of sale,
may be brought and prosecuted in the local or federal courts of any one or more
States as to all or any part of the Real Property, wherever located, without
regard to the fact that any one or more prior or contemporaneous proceedings
have been situated elsewhere with respect to any other part of the Real
Property. To the fullest extent that Grantor may do so, Xxxxxxx agrees that
Grantor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or
advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any redemption,
valuation, appraisement, stay of execution or extension, and Grantor, for
Grantor, Grantors' heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and
for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to
the extent permitted by law, xxxxxx xxxxxx and releases all rights of
redemption, valuation, appraisement, marshaling, stay of execution, extension,
and notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the Secured
Indebtedness in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created. Xxxxxxx
further agrees that if any law referred to in this Section and now in force, of
which Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx's heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and
assigns or other person might take advantage despite this Section, shall
hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be
deemed to preclude the application of this Section. Grantor expressly waives and
relinquishes any and all rights and remedies that Grantor may have or be able to
assert by reason of the laws of the State of jurisdiction pertaining to the
rights and remedies of sureties. Grantor makes these agreements, waivers and
relinquishments knowingly after consulting with and considering the advice of
independent legal counsel selected by Xxxxxxx.
Section 9. Other Remedies. In an Event of Default, the Trustee or Mortgagee
may also exercise any and all remedies available to it in law or in equity or in
the Credit Agreement or in the other Fundamental Documents or otherwise without
regard as to any particular order of remedy exercised. Without limiting the
foregoing, Trustee or Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and
performance of the Secured Indebtedness or the Obligations and to exercise all
rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any Fundamental Document or other
agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding that some or
all of the Secured Indebtedness and the Obligations may now or hereafter be
otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, assignment
or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement,
whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein
contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Trustee's or Mortgagee's
right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by
Trustee or Mortgagee, it being agreed that Trustee and Mortgagee, and each of
them, shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or
hereafter held by Trustee or Mortgagee in such order and manner as they or
either of them may in their absolute discretion determine. No right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Mortgagee is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
-24-
equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Fundamental
Documents to Trustee or Mortgagee, or to which Trustee or Mortgagee may be
otherwise entitled, may be exercised concurrently or independently, from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Trustee or Mortgagee and either
of them may pursue inconsistent remedies.
Section 10. Multisite Collateral. If (a) the Real Property shall consist of
one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the
same county or city, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Trustee or Mortgagee
shall now or hereafter hold or be the mortgagee or beneficiary of one or more
additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other security (directly or
indirectly) securing the Secured Indebtedness upon other property in the State
in which the Real Property is located (whether or not such property is owned by
Grantor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and
(b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, Trustee or
Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single trustee's
sale or foreclosure action all trustee's sale or foreclosure proceedings against
all such collateral securing the Secured Indebtedness (including the Mortgaged
Property), which action may be brought or consolidated in the courts of, or sale
conducted in, any county or city in which any of such collateral is located.
Grantor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated trustee's sale or
foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Mortgagee to extend the Secured
Indebtedness, and Grantor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the
commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action
and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non
conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Grantor further agrees that if
Trustee or Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other
proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any
collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or
indirectly secures the Secured Indebtedness, or if Trustee or Mortgagee shall
have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against
such collateral (or, in the case of a trustee's sale, shall have met the
statutory requirements therefor with respect to such collateral), then, whether
or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were obtained in or
outside the State in which the Real Property is located, Trustee or Mortgagee
may commence or continue any trustee's sale or foreclosure proceedings and
exercise its other remedies granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of
the Mortgaged Property and Grantor waives any objections to the commencement or
continuation of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies
hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to
seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under
this Mortgage or such other proceedings on such basis. The commencement or
continuation of proceedings to sell the Mortgaged Property in a trustee's sale,
to foreclose this Mortgage or the exercise of any other rights hereunder or the
recovery of any judgment by Trustee or Mortgagee or the occurrence of any sale
by the Trustee or Mortgagee in any such proceedings shall not prejudice, limit
or preclude Trustee's or Mortgagee's right to commence or continue one or more
trustee's sales, foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against
(or, in the case of a trustee's sale, to meet the statutory requirements for any
such sale of) any other collateral (either in or outside the State in which the
Real Property is located) which directly or indirectly secures the Secured
Indebtedness, and Grantor expressly
-25-
waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a
judgment in such other sales or proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such
sales or proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this
Mortgage, and Grantor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove,
transfer or consolidate either such other sales or proceedings or any sale or
action under this Mortgage on such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed
that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Trustee or Mortgagee may, at its
election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single
trustee's sale or foreclosure action at either a single sale or at multiple
sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are appropriate
in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all
collateral securing the Secured Indebtedness (directly or indirectly) in the
most economical and least time-consuming manner.
Section 11. JURY WAIVER. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN GRANTOR, TRUSTEE
AND MORTGAGEE THAT THE RESPECTIVE PARTIES WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
CLAIM, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES AGAINST
THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH
THIS MORTGAGE AND/OR THE CONDUCT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GRANTOR, TRUSTEE
AND MORTGAGEE.
Section 12. Service of Process. In the event the Trustee or Mortgagee
brings any action or commences any proceeding to enforce the provisions of this
Mortgage, service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process
which may be served in any such action or proceeding may be made in accordance
with Section 13.13 of the Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect
the right of the Trustee or Mortgagee to serve legal process in any other manner
permitted by law.
Section 13. Invalidity of Certain Provisions. If the lien of this Mortgage
is invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Secured Indebtedness, or if
the lien is invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Mortgaged Property,
the unsecured or partially secured portion of the Secured Indebtedness shall be
completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining and secured or partially
secured portion of the Secured Indebtedness, and all payments made on the
Secured Indebtedness, whether voluntary or under foreclosure or other
enforcement action or procedure, shall be considered to have been first paid on
and applied to the full payment of that portion of the Secured Indebtedness that
is not secured or fully secured by the lien of this Mortgaged Property.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 1. Cumulative Rights. The rights and remedies herein expressed to
be vested in or conferred upon the Trustee and Mortgagee shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to and not in substitution for or in derogation of the
rights and remedies conferred by any Applicable Law. The failure, at any one or
more times, of the Trustee or Mortgagee to assert the right to declare the
Secured Indebtedness due or the granting of any extension or extensions of time
of payment of the Secured Indebtedness either to the maker or to any other
person, or taking of other or additional security for the payment thereof, or
releasing any security, or changing any of the terms of this Mortgage, the
Credit Agreement, the other Fundamental Documents or other obligations
accompanying this Mortgage, or waiver of or failure to exercise any right under
any covenant or stipulation herein contained shall not in any way affect this
Mortgage nor the rights of the Trustee or Mortgagee hereunder, nor operate as a
release from any personal liability upon the Credit Agreement and the other
Fundamental Documents or obligation accompanying this Mortgage, nor under any
covenant or stipulation therein contained, nor under any agreement assuming the
payment of said obligation.
Section 2. Notices. Notices and other communications provided for herein
shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed (or if by facsimile
communications equipment, delivered by such equipment) addressed, (a) if to the

validity of such notice. All notices and other communications given to any party
hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage shall be deemed to

mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, if by mail, (y) when delivered,
if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or (z) when receipt is
acknowledged, if by facsimile communications equipment, in each case addressed
to such party as provided in this Section or in accordance with the latest
unrevoked written direction from such party. No notice to or demand on Grantor
shall entitle Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same,
similar or other circumstances.
-27-
Section 3. Trustee. (a) Trustee, by its acceptance hereof, covenants
faithfully to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable,
however, only for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and hereby waives any
statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation in lieu thereof for
any services rendered by it in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b) Grantor shall pay all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee, its agents
and counsel, in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder.
(c) Xxxxxxx may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days' notice in
writing to Grantor and to Mortgagee.
(d) In the event of Trustee's death, removal, resignation, refusal to act,
or inability to act or, in the sole discretion of Mortgagee for any reason
whatsoever, Mortgagee may, at any time or from time to time without notice and
without specifying any reason therefor and without applying to any court, select
and appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument duly recorded in the
county where the Mortgaged Property is located. All powers, rights, duties and
authority of Trustee shall immediately become vested in any successor so
appointed without conveyance from the predecessor Trustee. No substitute Trustee
shall be required to give bond for the performance of his duties unless required
by Mortgagee. The appointment may be executed by Mortgagee or any authorized
agent of Mortgagee and shall be conclusively presumed to have been executed with
authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the
Board of Directors or any superior officer of Mortgagee. Grantor hereby ratifies
and confirms any and all acts which the herein named Trustee, or its successor
or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. Grantor hereby
agrees on behalf of itself, and its heirs, executors, administrators and
assigns, that the recitals contained in any deed executed in due form by Trustee
or any substitute Trustee, acting under the provisions of this Mortgage, shall
be prima facie evidence of the facts recited, and that it shall not be necessary
to prove in any court, other than by such recitals, the existence of any facts
essential to authorize the execution and delivery of any such deed and the
passing of title thereby.
(e) Trustee may act upon any instrument which Trustee in good faith
believes to be genuine and signed by the proper party(s) and Trustee shall not
be liable for any action taken or suffered in reliance thereon.
(f) Upon written request of Mortgagee, Trustee shall reconvey, without
warranty, the Mortgaged Property then held hereunder. The recitals in such
reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be prima facie proof of the
truthfulness thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as "the
person or persons legally entitled thereto."
Section 4. Successors and Assigns. This Mortgage and all its terms,
covenants, conditions, and provisions are intended and shall be held to be real
covenants running with the Land and shall bind Grantor and Xxxxxxx's heirs,
legal representatives, successors, assigns, and any and all subsequent owners,
successors in title, encumbrancers, and tenants of the Real
-28-
Property and shall inure to the benefit of Trustee and Mortgagee and Trustee's
and Mortgagee's successors, assigns and legal representatives and all subsequent
holders of this Mortgage.
Section 5. Gender. When such interpretation is appropriate, any word
denoting gender used herein shall include all persons, natural or artificial,
and words used in the singular shall include the plural.
Section 6. Severability. If any court determines that any provision of this
Mortgage is void or unenforceable, the Mortgage shall remain in effect in
accordance with its terms excluding the provision declared void or
unenforceable, unless Mortgagee (in Mortgagee's exclusive discretion) determines
that the entire Mortgage should be terminated. Whenever possible, each provision
of this Mortgage shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Mortgage shall be
prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remaining provisions of this Mortgage.
Section 7. Amendment. This Mortgage may not be changed or terminated, or
any term or provision thereof waived or discharged, except in writing signed by
the party against whom such change, termination, waiver or discharge is sought.
Schedules "A" and "B" and the Rider annexed hereto are made a part of this
Mortgage as though fully set forth herein.
SECTION 8. GOVERNING LAW. THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE REAL PROPERTY IS
LOCATED.
Section 9. Limitation of Interest. It is the intent of Grantor, Trustee and
Mortgagee in the execution of this Mortgage and all other Fundamental Documents
to contract in strict compliance with the usury laws governing the Secured
Indebtedness evidenced by the Credit Agreement and the other Fundamental
Documents. In furtherance thereof, Grantor, Trustee and Mortgagee stipulate and
agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Fundamental
Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance
or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the
maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by the laws governing the Loan
evidenced by the Credit Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents. Grantor
or any Guarantor, endorser or other party now or hereafter becoming liable for
the payment of the Secured Indebtedness shall never be required to pay interest
on the Secured Indebtedness at a rate in excess of the maximum interest that may
be lawfully charged under the laws governing the Loans evidenced by the Credit
Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents, and the provisions of this
Section shall control over all other provisions of the Credit Agreement and the
other Fundamental Documents and any other instrument executed in connection
herewith which may be in apparent conflict herewith. In the event any holder of
the Secured Indebtedness shall collect monies that are deemed to constitute
interest and that would otherwise increase the effective interest rate on the
Secured Indebtedness to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by the
laws governing the Loan evidenced by
-29-
the Credit Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents, all such sums deemed
to constitute interest in excess of the legal rate shall be applied to the
unpaid principal balance of the Secured Indebtedness and, if in excess of such
balance, shall be immediately returned to Grantor upon such determination.
Section 10. Conflict. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between any
provision of this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement, the provisions of the
Credit Agreement shall control.
