marketable and insurable fee simple title to Land and the Improvements and has

Mortgage and to encumber, mortgage, give, grant, bargain, sell, alienate,

Property and that Mortgagor possesses an unencumbered fee estate in the Land and

default hereunder in order to declare the Obligations immediately due and
payable upon Mortgagor's conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge
or transfer of the Mortgaged Property in violation of this Mortgage or any other
Relevant Document. This provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance,
alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property
that is not permitted pursuant to the Relevant Documents, regardless of whether
voluntary or not, or whether or not Mortgagee has consented to any previous
sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the
Mortgaged Property.
7. AMENDMENT TO LEGAL DESCRIPTION. If it becomes evident that the
legal description attached to any Relevant Document is inaccurate or does not
fully describe all of the real property which is reasonably connected to the
Land, Mortgagor hereby agrees to an amendment of such legal description and the
legal description contained on the corresponding
-7-
title policy so that such error is corrected and to execute and cause to be
recorded, if applicable, such document as may be appropriate for such purpose.
8. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS. Mortgagor does hereby absolutely
and unconditionally assign to Mortgagee, Mortgagor's right, title and interest
in all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Mortgagor that
this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment
for additional security only. Such assignment to Mortgagee shall not be
construed to bind Mortgagee to the performance of any of the covenants,
conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any
obligation upon Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall have no responsibility on account of
this assignment for the control, care, maintenance, management or repair of the
Mortgaged Property, for any dangerous or defective condition of the Mortgaged
Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of
the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver to Mortgagee
such additional instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, as
may hereafter be requested by Mortgagee to further evidence and confirm such
assignment. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this paragraph, Mortgagee
grants to Mortgagor a revocable license to collect all of the Rents and retain,
use and enjoy the same and otherwise exercise all rights of Mortgagor under any
Lease, in each case, subject to the terms hereof and of the Relevant Documents.
Upon an Event of Default (hereinafter defined), the license granted to Mortgagor
herein shall immediately and automatically be revoked, and Mortgagee shall
immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents, whether or not Mortgagee
enters upon or takes control of the Mortgaged Property, provided that if such
Event of Default ceases to exist, the license shall automatically be reinstated.
In addition, during the continuation of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may,
either in person or by agent, without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a
receiver appointed by a court, without the necessity of taking possession of the
Mortgaged Property in its own name, and in addition to and without limiting any
of Mortgagee's rights and remedies hereunder, under the Notes and any other
Relevant Documents and as otherwise available at law or in equity, (a) notify
any lessee or other person that the Leases have been assigned to Mortgagee and
that all Rents are to be paid directly to Mortgagee, whether or not Mortgagee
has commenced or completed foreclosure or taken possession of the Mortgaged
Property; (b) settle, compromise, release, extend the time of payment of, and
make allowances, adjustments and discounts of any Rents or other obligations in,
to and under the Leases; (c) demand, xxx for or otherwise collect, receive, and
enforce payment of Rents, including those past-due and unpaid and other rights
under the Leases, prosecute any action or proceeding, and defend against any
claim with respect to the Rents and Leases; (d) enter upon, take possession of
and operate the Mortgaged Property; (e) lease all or any part of the Mortgaged
Property; and/or (f) perform any and all obligations of Mortgagor under the
Leases and exercise any and all rights of Mortgagor therein contained to the
full extent of Mortgagor's rights and obligations thereunder, with or without
the bringing of any action or the appointment of a receiver and without need for
any other authorization or other action by Mortgagee or Mortgagor. At
Mortgagee's request, Mortgagor shall deliver a copy of this assignment to each
tenant under a Lease and to each manager and managing agent or operator of the
Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor irrevocably
-8-
directs any tenant, manager, managing agent, or operator of the Property,
without any requirement for notice to or consent by Mortgagor, to comply with
all demands of Mortgagee under this Section 8 and to turn over to Mortgagee on
demand all Rents which it receives. Mortgagor hereby acknowledges and agrees
that payment of any Rents by a person to Mortgagee as hereinabove provided shall
constitute payment by such person, as fully and with the same effect as if such
Rents had been paid to Mortgagor. Mortgagee is hereby granted and assigned by
Mortgagor the right, at its option, upon revocation of the license granted
herein, to enter upon the Mortgaged Property in person or by agent, without
bringing any action or proceeding, or by court-appointed receiver to collect the
Rents. Any Rents collected after the revocation of the license shall be applied
towards the payment of the Obligations. Neither the enforcement of any of the
remedies under this Section 8 nor any other remedies or security interests
afforded to Mortgagee under the Relevant Documents, at law or in equity shall
cause Mortgagee to be deemed or construed to be a Mortgagee in possession of the
Mortgaged Property, to obligate Mortgagee to lease the Mortgaged Property or
attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or
discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases
or otherwise. Mortgagor shall, and hereby agrees to indemnify Mortgagee for, and
to hold Mortgagee harmless from and against, any and all claims, liability,
expenses, losses or damages which may or might be asserted against or incurred
by Mortgagee solely by reason of Mortgagee's status as an assignee pursuant to
the assignment of Rents and Leases contained herein, but excluding any claim (a)
to the extent caused by Mortgagee's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or
(b) to the extent arising solely from Mortgagee's actions after Mortgagee has
taken possession of the Mortgaged Property. Should Mortgagee incur any such
claim, liability, expense, loss or damage, the amount thereof, including all
actual expenses and reasonable fees of attorneys, shall constitute Obligations
secured hereby, and Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee therefor immediately
upon demand. Mortgagor agrees that all Leases shall be subject to the prior
written approval of Mortgagee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
9. MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Mortgagor shall cause the
Mortgaged Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair
(subject to ordinary wear and tear), and shall otherwise operate and maintain
the Mortgaged Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which it
operates and maintains the other properties on which it operates similar
businesses ("SIMILAR PROPERTIES"). Except as otherwise permitted by the
Relevant Documents, the Improvements, the Fixtures and the equipment located on
the Land or the Improvements shall not be removed, demolished or materially
altered (except for normal replacement of equipment) without the consent of
Mortgagee which shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed. Mortgagor shall
comply with all laws, orders and ordinances affecting the Mortgaged Property, or
the use thereof. Except to the extent that Mortgagee fails to turn over
insurance proceeds, if any, received by Mortgagee pursuant to Sections 10 and 11
with respect to such Mortgaged Property to Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall promptly
repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property that, following
the date hereof, becomes damaged, worn or dilapidated and Mortgagor shall
complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or
repair on the
-9-
Land. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Mortgagor
hereby confirms its obligation to comply with all relevant Legal Requirements,
including Environmental Laws, with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor
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 Mortgaged Property or any
part thereof, unless Mortgagor shall have received Mortgagee's prior written
consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If under
applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Mortgaged
Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Mortgagor will not cause such
nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written
consent of Mortgagee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Mortgagor shall not (i) change the use of the Land in any material respect or
(ii) permit or suffer to occur any waste on or to the Mortgaged Property or to
any portion thereof.
10. INSURANCE. (a) Mortgagor shall maintain casualty, liability
and other policies of insurance relating to the Mortgaged Property in form and
substance, and with insurers and coverages, reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee
and consistent with insurance that it maintains on Similar Properties.
Mortgagor shall keep the Mortgaged Property insured against loss by flood if the
Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development as an area having a special flood hazards and in which
flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act
of 1968 (or any successor act thereto). All policies of insurance to be
furnished hereunder (i) shall have standard non-contributory Mortgagee clauses
attached to all policies in favor of Mortgagee, without contribution, under a
standard New York (or local equivalent) Mortgagee clause naming Mortgagee as the
party to which all payments made under such insurance policies in excess of
$150,000 should be paid, (ii) shall contain an endorsement providing that
neither Mortgagor nor Mortgagee nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under
said policies and shall contain a provision requiring that the coverage
evidenced thereby shall not be terminated or materially modified without ten
(10) days prior written notice to Mortgagee, (iii) shall provide that no act or
thing done by Mortgagor shall invalidate the policy as against Mortgagee, and
(iv) with respect to property insurance policies, shall contain a waiver of
subrogation against Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall deliver certificates evidencing
additional and renewal policies, together with evidence of payment of premiums
thereon, to Mortgagee, and in the case of all insurance about to expire, shall
deliver renewal policies or certificates evidencing such policies not less than
ten (10) days prior to their respective dates of expiration.
(b) Mortgagor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in
form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained
hereunder unless Mortgagee is included thereon under a standard,
non-contributory Mortgagee clause acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall
promptly notify Mortgagee whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and
shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee the certificates evidencing the policy or
policies of such insurance.
-10-
(c) The insurance required by this Mortgage, at the option of
Mortgagor, may be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies covering the
Mortgaged Property and other properties, provided, however, that in each case,
such insurance policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Mortgage
and allocate to the Mortgaged Property, from time to time, the coverage
specified in this Mortgage without possibility of reduction or co-insurance by
reason of, or damage to, any other property named therein. If the insurance
required by this Mortgage shall be effected by any such blanket or umbrella
policies, Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee certificates with respect to,
with schedules attached thereto showing the amount of the insurance provided
under such policies which is applicable to the Mortgaged Property.
(d) If Mortgagor fails to maintain insurance in compliance with this
Section, Mortgagee may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor and
Mortgagor shall, on demand, reimburse Mortgagee for all expenses incurred in
connection therewith. Mortgagor shall deliver original certificates to Mortgagee
of all insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 10. Each property
insurance policy shall name Mortgagee as Mortgagee, and loss payee with respect
to all casualty coverage and each liability policy shall name Mortgagee as an
additional insured thereunder.
11. CASUALTY. (a) Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prompt notice of
any loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property.
(b) In case of loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property covered by
any of the insurance policies described in Section 10 above, Mortgagee (or,
after entry of decree of foreclosure, the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or
decree creditor, as the case may be) is hereby authorized at its option either
(i) to settle and adjust any claim under such insurance policies without the
consent of Mortgagor or (ii) to allow Mortgagor to settle and adjust such claim
(either jointly with Mortgagee or by Mortgagor alone, at Mortgagee's
discretion); provided that in either case Mortgagee shall, and is hereby
authorized to, collect and receipt for any such insurance proceeds.
Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, Mortgagee
agrees that it will allow Mortgagor to settle and adjust any claims under the
insurance policies which are in an amount less than $150,000, per incident of
loss, up to an aggregate amount of no greater than $300,000. The expenses
incurred by Mortgagee in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds
shall be included in the Obligations, and shall be reimbursed to Mortgagee upon
demand or may be deducted by Mortgagee from said insurance proceeds prior to
another application thereof. Interest on such amount shall accrue at the rate
of thirteen and one-half percent (13.5%) per annum, beginning ten (10) days
after Mortgagor receives notice of a request for payment of such amount from
Mortgagee, until such amount, plus interest, is paid in full.
(c) Mortgagee shall permit Mortgagor to apply the proceeds of
insurance policies received in connection with any casualty to pay for the cost
of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the loss or damage to the
Mortgaged Property resulting from the casualty ("RESTORATION") if: (i) there is
no Event of Default hereunder at the time of such
-11-
application; (ii) restoration can, in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, be
completed prior to the maturity of the Obligations; and (iii) restoration can,
in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, be effected within two (2) years after
the date of such casualty and in such a manner so that the Mortgaged Property
will be of at least equal or greater value to the value than the Mortgaged
Property prior to such casualty. Otherwise, Mortgagee may elect in its sole
discretion to apply such proceeds either (x) towards payment of the Obligations,
notwithstanding the fact that the Obligations, or a portion thereof, may not
then be due and payable, or (y) to pay for the cost of Restoration. In all
events, disbursement of insurance proceeds by Mortgagee (or at Mortgagee's
election by a disbursing or escrow agent who shall be selected by Mortgagee and
whose fees shall be paid by Mortgagor), to pay the cost of restoration shall
require (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee of the estimated costs
of Restoration, (ii) funds (or assurances reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee
that such funds are available) sufficient in addition to the proceeds of
insurance to complete and fully pay for Restoration; and (iii) such architect's
certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements, title insurance
endorsements, plats of surveys and such other evidences of cost, payment and
performance as Mortgagee may reasonably require and approve. Except to the
extent Mortgagee fails to turn over insurance proceeds, if any, received by
Mortgagee hereunder with respect to such casualty to Mortgagor, Mortgagor hereby
covenants to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Improvements, to be of at
least equal value, and of substantially the same character as prior to such loss
or damage, all to be effected in accordance with plans, specifications and
procedures to be first submitted to and reasonably approved by Mortgagee, and
Mortgagor shall pay all costs of such restoring, repairing, replacing or
rebuilding.
12. EMINENT DOMAIN. Mortgagor warrants, covenants and agrees that
should the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof or interest therein, be taken
or damaged by reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or in
any other manner, or should Mortgagor receive any notice of other information
regarding such proceeding, Mortgagor shall give written notice thereof within
five (5) business days to Mortgagee. Without Mortgagee's prior consent,
Mortgagor (1) shall not agree to any compensation or award, and (2) shall not
take any action or fail to take any action which would cause the compensation to
be determined. Mortgagee shall be entitled to: (1) all compensation, awards and
other payments or relief therefor, (2) to commence, appear in and prosecute in
its own name any action or proceedings, and (3) to make any compromise or
settlement in connection with such taking or damage. Mortgagor authorizes
Mortgagee to collect and receive such awards and compensation, to give proper
receipts and acquittances therefor and in Mortgagee's discretion to apply the
same toward the payment of the Obligations, notwithstanding the fact that the
Obligations, or a portion thereof, may not then be due and payable, or to the
restoration of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the provisions set
forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 11(c) above. Mortgagor further
agrees to make, execute, and deliver to Mortgagee, at any time upon request,
free and clear of any encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, any and all further
assignments and other instruments deemed necessary by Mortgagee for the purpose
of validly and sufficiently assigning all
-12-
compensations and awards made to Mortgagor for any taking, either permanent or
temporary, under any such proceeding.
13. RELEASE OF MORTGAGE. Mortgagee agrees to promptly and
unconditionally release this Mortgage as follows:
(a) in the event of a bona fide sale (other than a "SALE LEASEBACK"
or other similar financing transaction) of the Mortgaged Property to a third
party that is not affiliated with Mortgagor, provided that both of the following
conditions are satisfied: (i) neither Mortgagor nor any of its respective
affiliates continue to use or occupy the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof;
(ii) Mortgagor shall consult with Mortgagee prior to such sale and shall obtain
Mortgagee's prior written consent with respect to such sale and the sales price
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); and (iii) all of the proceeds of
such sale are applied towards repayment of the Obligations, notwithstanding the
fact that the Obligations, or a portion thereof, may not then be due and
payable.
(b) in the event that Mortgagee is paid in full for all amounts owing
to Mortgagee by Mortgagor and any of its former affiliated debtors, including
the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, and no amount is then owing
by one or more of the foregoing to Mortgagee pursuant to the Indenture, the
Notes or any other Relevant Documents.
14. CHANGES IN THE LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is enacted or
adopted or amended after the date of this Mortgage which imposes a tax, either
directly or indirectly, on the Obligations or Mortgagee's interest in the
Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties
thereon, if any, provided, however, that Mortgagor shall not be obligated to pay
any tax which is imposed on the net income of Mortgagee or franchise taxes or
doing business taxes imposed on Mortgagee. In the event that the payment of
such tax or interest and penalties by Mortgagor would be unlawful or taxable to
Mortgagee or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in
any such event, Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not less
than ninety (90) days, to declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
15. NO CREDITS ON ACCOUNT OF THE OBLIGATIONS. (i) Mortgagor will not
claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the
Obligations for any part of the Impositions assessed against the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, and (ii) no deduction shall otherwise be made or
claimed from the assessed value of the Mortgaged Property, or any part hereof,
for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Mortgage or the Obligations if
the effect of such deduction would impose on Mortgagee a tax, either directly or
indirectly, for which it otherwise would not have been liable.
16. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. If at any time the United States of America,
any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or
other stamps to be
-13-
affixed to the Notes or this Mortgage, or impose any other tax or charge on the
same, Mortgagor will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if
any.
17. CONTROLLING AGREEMENT. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to
be the intent of Mortgagor and Mortgagee at all times to comply with applicable
state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits
Mortgagee to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of
interest than under state law) and that this Section shall control every other
covenant and agreement in this Mortgage and the other Relevant Documents. If
the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to
render usurious any amount called for under the Notes or under any of the other
Relevant Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received
with respect to the Obligations, or if Mortgagee's exercise of the option to
accelerate the maturity of the Notes, or if any prepayment by Mortgagor results
in Mortgagor having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable
law, then it is Mortgagor's and Mortgagee's express intent that all excess
amounts theretofore collected by Mortgagee shall be credited on the principal
balance of the Notes and all other Obligations (or, if the Notes and all other
Obligations have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Mortgagor),
and the provisions of the Notes and the other Relevant Documents immediately be
deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder
reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to
comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest
amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to
be paid to Mortgagee for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Obligations until
payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the
Obligations does not exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted by law from
time to time in effect and applicable to the Obligations for so long as the
Obligations are outstanding.
18. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Mortgagor shall observe and
perform in all respects the terms to be observed or performed by Mortgagor under
any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Mortgaged
Property.
19. RIGHT TO PERFORM THE OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the terms of the
Relevant Documents, if any default exists, Mortgagee shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to cure such default in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor.
All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Mortgagee under this
Section 19, or otherwise under this Mortgage or any of the other Relevant
Documents or applicable law (including, without limitation, the costs and
expenses of Mortgagee and its agents incurred in connection with the
preservation, collection and enforcement of this Mortgage or of the liens
created hereby), shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or
expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the
rate of thirteen and one-half percent (13.5%) per annum, and all such sums,
together with interest thereon, shall constitute additions to the Obligations
and shall be secured by this Mortgage and Mortgagor covenants and agrees to pay
them to the order of the Mortgagee promptly upon demand.
-14-
20. FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Mortgagor will, at the cost of Mortgagor, and
without expense to Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every
such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of
assignment, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or continuation
statements, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall, from time to time,
reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring,
and confirming unto Mortgagee the property and rights hereby mortgaged, given,
granted, bargained, sold, alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, warranted,
pledged, assigned and hypothecated (including, without limitation, the
assignment of leases and rents contained in Section 8 hereof) or intended now or
hereafter so to be, or which Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to
convey or assign to Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating
the performance of the terms of this Mortgage or for filing, registering or
recording this Mortgage. Mortgagor, on demand, will execute and deliver and,
Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to execute in the name of Mortgagor or
without the signature of Mortgagor to the extent Mortgagee may lawfully do so,
one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments, to
evidence more effectively the security interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged
Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Mortgagor
shall not be obligated to execute, deliver, file or record any additional
documents which increase Mortgagor's obligations under this Mortgage or the
Relevant Documents. Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee an irrevocable power of
attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising the rights
provided for in Section 19 and this Section 20.
21. RECORDING OF MORTGAGE, ETC. Mortgagor forthwith upon the
execution and delivery of this Mortgage and thereafter, from time to time, will
cause this Mortgage, and any security instrument creating a lien or security
interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Mortgaged Property and each
instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such
manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in
order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien or security interest
hereof upon, and the interest of Mortgagee in, the Mortgaged Property.
Mortgagor will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, the costs and
fees of local counsel for Mortgagee including, without limitation, costs and
fees for local counsel review of this Mortgage and the Subordination Agreement
(hereinafter defined) and the preparation of opinion letters in connection
therewith, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and
acknowledgment of this Mortgage, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental
hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Mortgaged Property and any
instrument of further assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal,
taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection
with the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, any deed of trust or mortgage
supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Mortgaged
Property or any instrument of further assurance (other than income or franchise
taxes imposed on Mortgagee), except where prohibited by law so to do. Mortgagor
shall hold harmless and indemnify Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, against
any liability incurred by reason of the imposition of any tax on the making and
recording of this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall pay all title costs and premiums in
connection with the ALTA lender's title insurance policy issued by Chicago Title
Insurance Company for the benefit of
-15-
Mortgagee in connection with this Mortgage (including payment for the cost of
any property surveys ("SURVEYS") prepared in connection therewith), which title
insurance policy shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee
containing such endorsements as Mortgagee may reasonably request, including,
without limitation, the deletion of any creditor's rights exception and (to the
extent available) a variable rate endorsement; survey endorsement; comprehensive
endorsement; first loss endorsement; last dollar endorsement; tie-in
endorsement; future advances endorsement; access coverage; tax parcel coverage;
contiguity (if applicable) coverage; and such other endorsements as Mortgagee
shall reasonably require. In the event that any Survey with respect to the
Mortgaged Property reveals any encumbrances, restrictions, building code or
zoning violations or other matters which in Mortgagee's reasonable judgment
materially impair Mortgagee's security interest in the Mortgaged Property,
Mortgagor agrees to cooperate with Mortgagee in performing any acts reasonably
requested by Mortgagee to cause such encumbrances, restrictions, violations or
other matters to be removed or remedied as appropriate.
22. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Mortgagor agrees to give prompt notice
to Mortgagee of the insolvency or bankruptcy filing of Mortgagor. In addition,
Mortgagor will give notice to Mortgagee in writing not later than ten (10) days
after: (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Mortgagor
hereunder, or (ii) notice to Mortgagor of any action, litigation or proceeding
instituted to recover possession of the Mortgaged Property from Mortgagor or for
any other purpose affecting this Mortgage or of any other action, litigation or
proceeding instituted against Mortgagor or judgment rendered against Mortgagor;
and such notice to Mortgagee shall include a true copy of any notice of default,
or if any action is then proceeding, copies of any pleadings and papers received
by Mortgagor.
23. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The term "EVENT OF DEFAULT" as used herein
shall mean the occurrence or happening, at any time and from time to time, of
one or more of the following events:
(a) a default or event of default under any of the Notes, which
remains uncured following the expiration of any applicable cure periods;
(b) Mortgagor (i) shall fail to perform when due any payment
obligation under the terms of this Mortgage or the other Relevant Documents
within ten days after such amount becomes due, or (ii) shall be in violation of
any of the obligations or covenants contained herein or therein and such default
shall continued unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days, provided that if
such default is not readily susceptible of cure in such thirty (30) day period,
and provided that Mortgagor proceeds in a diligent manner to cure such default,
Mortgagor shall have such additional time to effect such cure as shall be
reasonably necessary to effect such cure; or
(c) Failure by Mortgagor to maintain insurance and deliver evidence
thereof pursuant to Section 10;
-16-
(d) a default under any other mortgage, deed of trust or other
security instrument covering the Mortgaged Property or a portion thereof which
remains uncured following the expiration of any applicable cure periods; or
(e) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture.
24. REMEDIES. (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
Mortgagee may take such action permitted in law or at equity, without notice or
demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against
Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, by Mortgagee itself or
otherwise, 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
Mortgagee may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise
affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:
(i) declare the entire principal amount of the indebtedness and
Obligations secured hereby with interest accrued thereon to be immediately due
and payable;
(ii) institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial or
nonjudicial, by advertisement or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this
Mortgage in which case the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein may be

portions and in any order or manner in accordance with the laws of the
jurisdiction in which such Mortgaged Property is located;
(iii) with or without entry, to the extent permitted, and
pursuant to the procedures provided by, applicable law, institute proceedings

the Obligations not then due;
(iv) sell for cash or upon credit the Mortgaged Property or any
part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of
Mortgagor therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or

place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or
permitted by the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Mortgaged Property is
located;
(v) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the
specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein or
in the other Relevant Documents;
(vi) recover judgment on the Notes either before, during or after

-17-
(vii) prior to, concurrently with, or subsequent to the
institution of foreclosure proceedings, apply for the appointment of a trustee,

strict right, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security
for the Obligations or the interest of the Mortgagor therein and without regard
for the solvency of the Mortgagor or of any person, firm or other entity liable
for the payment of the Obligations, and Mortgagor hereby consents to such
appointment;
(viii) prior to, concurrently with or subsequent to the
institution of foreclosure proceedings, enforce Mortgagee's interest in the
Leases and Rents and enter into or upon the Mortgaged Property and take
exclusive possession thereof, either personally or by its agents, nominees or
attorneys and dispossess Mortgagor and its agents and servants therefrom, and
thereupon Mortgagee may (whether or not a receiver has been appointed) as
attorney-in-fact or agent of Mortgagor, or in its own name and under the powers
herein granted,(A) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair,
restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Mortgaged Property and
conduct the business thereat; (B) complete any construction on the Mortgaged
Property in such manner and form as Mortgagee deems advisable; (C) make
alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the
Mortgaged Property; (D) exercise all rights and powers of Mortgagor with respect
to the Mortgaged Property, whether in the name of Mortgagor or otherwise
(including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify

earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and other income of the Mortgaged
Property and every part thereof); and (E) apply the receipts from the Mortgaged
Property to the payment of the Obligations, after deducting therefrom all
reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary
to pay the taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges in connection with
the Mortgaged Property, it being agreed that should Mortgagee incur any
liability, loss or damage in the defense of any claims or demands, the amount
thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees shall be
secured hereby, and Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee therefor immediately
upon demand;
(ix) require Mortgagor to pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or
any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental
value for the use and occupation of any portion of the Mortgaged Property
occupied by Mortgagor and require Mortgagor to vacate and surrender possession
to Mortgagee of the Mortgaged Property or to such receiver and, in default
thereof, evict Mortgagor by summary proceedings or otherwise; and
(x) pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available
under the Relevant Documents or otherwise at law or in equity or under the
Uniform Commercial Code including the right to establish a lock box for all
Rents and other receivables of Mortgagor relating to the Mortgaged Property.
-18-
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all
of the Mortgaged Property, this Mortgage shall continue as a lien on the
remaining portions of the Mortgaged Property.
The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 24,
together with any other sums which then may be held by Mortgagee under this
Mortgage, whether under the provisions of this Section or otherwise, shall be
applied by Mortgagee in the following order of priority: first, on account of
all reasonable costs and expenses incident to the foreclosure proceedings,
including all such items as are mentioned in this Section 24; second, all other
items which under the terms hereof constitute secured indebtedness, which are
any amounts due under this Mortgage, or under the other Relevant Document;
third, any surplus to Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, as their rights may
appear.
(b) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 24, 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, Mortgagee may
bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and in lieu of
paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting
upon the Obligations the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses
of the sale and costs of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is
authorized to deduct under this Mortgage.
(c) recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution
under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of
Mortgagor shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Mortgage
upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or
remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of
Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before.
(d) Mortgagee may adjourn, terminate or rescind any proceeding or
other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in
this Section 24 at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in
Mortgagee's sole discretion and without prejudice to Mortgagee.
(e) Mortgagee may resort to any remedies and the security given by
this Mortgage or the other Relevant Documents in whole or in part, and in such
portions and in such order as determined by Mortgagee's sole discretion. No
such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any rights, benefits or
remedies evidenced or provided by this Mortgage or the other Relevant Documents.
The failure of Mortgagee to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in
this Mortgage or the other Relevant Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of
such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation secured by this
Mortgage or the other Relevant Documents. Subject to the provisions of the
Relevant Documents, no acceptance by Mortgagee of any payment after the
occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Mortgagee of any obligation
for which Mortgagor is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any
Event of Default with respect to Mortgagor,
-19-
or Mortgagor's liability to pay such obligation. No sale of all or any portion
of the Mortgaged Property, no forbearance on the part of Mortgagee and no
extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Obligations
or any other indulgence given by Mortgagee to Mortgagor, shall operate to
release or in any manner affect the interest of Mortgagee in the remaining
Mortgaged Property or the liability of Mortgagor to pay the Obligations. No
waiver by Mortgagee shall be effective, unless it is in writing and then only to
the extent specifically stated.
(f) The interests and rights of Mortgagee under this Mortgage and the
other Relevant Documents, and the liens and security interests created and
evidenced by this Mortgage and the other Relevant Documents, shall not be
impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification
which Mortgagee may grant with respect to any of the Obligations, (ii) any
surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution
which Mortgagee may grant with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any portion
thereof; or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser,
guarantor or surety of any of the Obligations.
(g) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 23, in
any suit to foreclose the lien hereof or enforce any other remedy of Mortgagee
under this Mortgage, there shall be allowed and included as additional
indebtedness in the decree for sale or other judgment or decree all reasonable
expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of
Mortgagee for attorneys' fees, appraiser's fees, outlays for documentary and
expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs, and costs (which may
be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of the decree) of procuring
all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance
policies, Torrens certificates, and similar data and assurances with respect to
title as Mortgagee may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit
or to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree
the true condition of the title to or the value of the Mortgaged Property. All
such reasonable expenditures and expenses which Mortgagee may incur as permitted
by this Section for the protection of the Mortgaged Property and the maintenance
of the lien of this Mortgage, including, but not limited to, the fees and
out-of-pocket disbursements of any attorney employed by Mortgagee in any
litigation or proceeding affecting this Mortgage, including, but not limited to,
bankruptcy proceedings or preparations for the commencement or defense of any
proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be immediately due and
payable by Mortgagor and shall be secured by this Mortgage.
25. RIGHT OF ACCESS. Mortgagor shall permit agents, representatives
and employees of Mortgagee to (i) inspect the Mortgaged Property or any part
thereof, provided that such inspection does not materially interfere with the
tenants of the Mortgaged Property or violate the terms of any Lease, (ii) to
examine and make abstracts from any of Mortgagor's books and records and (iii)
to discuss the business, operations, properties and financial and other
condition of Mortgagor with officers of Mortgagor and with its independent
certified public accountants, at such reasonable times as may be requested by
Mortgagee upon reasonable advance notice.
-20-
26. SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Mortgage is both a real property
mortgage/deed of trust and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the
Uniform Commercial Code. The Mortgaged Property includes both real and personal
property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in
nature, of Mortgagor in the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor by executing and
delivering this Mortgage has granted and hereby grants to Mortgagee, as security
for the Obligations, a security interest in the Mortgaged Property to the full
extent that the Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code
(said portion of the Mortgaged Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial
Code being called in this paragraph the "COLLATERAL"). Mortgagor hereby agrees
with Mortgagee to execute and deliver to Mortgagee, in form and substance
satisfactory to Mortgagee, such financing statements and such further assurances
as Mortgagee may from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create,
perfect, and preserve Mortgagee's security interest herein granted. All or part
of the Mortgaged Property is or is to become "FIXTURES" as defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code. 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 Mortgage. Mortgagor's chief executive
office and principal place of business is the Mortgagor's address set forth in
the first paragraph of this Mortgage, and the place where Mortgagor's books and
records in respect of where the Mortgaged Property is located are kept is the
address of Mortgagor set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. If an
Event of Default shall occur which shall remain uncured, Mortgagee, in addition
to any other rights and remedies which it 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 limitation, to the extent permitted by law, the right to take possession
of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as
Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the
Collateral). Upon request or demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall at its
expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee at a
convenient place acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on
demand therefor any and all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable legal expenses and attorneys' fees) incurred or paid by Mortgagee 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 Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral sent to Mortgagor at
least ten (10) business days prior to such action or such notice as is otherwise
required by law or the Relevant Documents, shall constitute commercially
reasonable notice to Mortgagor. The proceeds of any disposition of the
Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of
the Obligations in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee shall determine in
its sole discretion. In the event of any change in name, identity or structure
of Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee thereof and, promptly after
request, shall execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms as
are necessary to maintain the priority of Mortgagee'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 Mortgagee shall require the filing or
recording of additional Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation
statements, Mortgagor shall, promptly after request, execute, file and record
such Uniform Commercial
-21-
Code forms or continuation statements as Mortgagee 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 materially increase Mortgagor's obligations under this Mortgage
or the other Relevant Documents. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints
Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the
appropriate public office on its behalf any UCC financing statements (or related
documents) signed only by Mortgagee, as secured party, in connection with the
Collateral covered by this Mortgage, such appointment to terminate upon the
release of this Mortgage.
27. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Mortgagee has the right to appear in
and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Mortgaged
Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of
Mortgagor, which Mortgagee, in its reasonable discretion, decides should be
brought to protect its interest under this Mortgage or in the Mortgaged
Property. Subject to the foregoing, Mortgagor shall appear in and contest any
action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof and shall pay all
reasonable costs and expenses including cost of evidence of title and attorney's
fees, in any such action or proceeding in which Mortgagee may appear. Mortgagee
shall, at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other
security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Obligations, and any
such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of
the Obligations.
28. WAIVER OF SETOFF AND COUNTERCLAIM. Except as may be permitted
under the Relevant Documents, all amounts due under this Mortgage, the Notes and
the other Relevant Documents shall be payable without setoff or counterclaim
whatsoever.
29. LIENS. Mortgagor warrants, covenants and agrees to pay and
promptly discharge, at Mortgagor's cost and expense, all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges levied upon it, its income and assets as and when such
taxes, assessments and charges are due and payable (including, without
limitation, all Impositions), as well as all lawful claims for labor materials
and supplies or otherwise which could become a lien, and all liens, encumbrances
and charges upon the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof or interest
therein; provided that the existence of any mechanic's, laborer's,
materialman's, supplier's or vendor's lien or right thereto shall not constitute
a violation of this Section if payment is not yet due under the contract which
is the foundation thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor shall not
be in default for failure to pay or discharge Impositions or mechanic's or
materialman's or similar lien asserted against the Mortgaged Property if, and so
long as, (a) Mortgagor shall have notified Mortgagee of same within seven (7)
days of obtaining knowledge thereof; (b) Mortgagor shall diligently and in good
faith contest the same by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to
prevent the enforcement or collection of the same and the sale of the Mortgaged
Property or any part thereof, to satisfy the same; (c) unless funds are
otherwise reserved, Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee such security as
Mortgagee may reasonably request to insure payment of such Impositions and to
secure and indemnify Mortgagee against any cost, expense, loss or damage in
connection with such contest or postponement of payment,; (d) Mortgagor shall
timely upon final
-22-
determination thereof pay the amount of any such Impositions, claim, fine or
penalty so determined, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may
be payable in connection therewith; (e) the failure to pay the Impositions, or
mechanic's or materialman's or similar lien claim does not constitute a default
under any other deed of trust, mortgage or security interest covering or
affecting any part of the Mortgaged Property; and (f) notwithstanding the
foregoing, Mortgagor shall immediately upon request of Mortgagee pay (and if
Mortgagor shall fail so to do, Mortgagee may, but shall not be required to, pay
or cause to be discharged or bonded against) any such Impositions, or claim
notwithstanding such contest, if in the reasonable opinion of Mortgagee, the
Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein may be in imminent
danger of being sold, forfeited, foreclosed, terminated, canceled or lost.
30. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Mortgagee shall have the
right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Obligations as the same become due and owing, without
regard to whether or not the balance of the Obligations shall be due, and
without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of
foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Mortgagor
existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
31. MARSHALING, WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND OTHER MATTERS. Mortgagor
hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement,
valuation, minimum bid or upset price, stay, extension, reinstatement,
moratorium and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of
marshaling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Mortgaged Property or any
part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Mortgagor hereby expressly
waives any and all rights of redemption from sale pursuant to a foreclosure of
this Mortgage on behalf of Mortgagor, and on behalf of each and every person
acquiring any interest in or title to the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the
date of this Mortgage and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by
applicable law.
32. NOTICE. Any notice which either party hereto may desire or be
required to give to the other party shall be in writing and delivered by: (x) a
commercial courier or messenger service or (y) by U.S. registered or certified
mail with return receipt requested. Notice by commercial messenger or courier

requested. Delivery of notice by commercial messenger or courier service or

by fax but will only be treated as delivered hereunder if: (x) sent between the
hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (based on local time at the destination); and
(y) receipt is acknowledged by fax and delivery will be deemed to have been
given on the date the fax acknowledgment is sent. Notices shall be delivered as

34. NON-WAIVER. The failure of Mortgagee to insist upon strict
performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of
this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall not be relieved of Mortgagor's Obligations
hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request
of Mortgagor to take any action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise enforce
any of the provisions hereof or of the other Relevant Documents, (b) the
release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged
Property, or of any person liable for the Obligations or any portion thereof, or
(c) any agreement or stipulation by Mortgagee extending the time of payment or

Relevant Documents. Mortgagee may resort for the payment of the Obligations to
any other security held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee, in
its discretion, may elect. Mortgagee may take action to recover the
Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without
prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to foreclosure this Mortgage.

in equity.

any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed,
