(a) In the event Borrower fails to make the Insurance Deposits as required by Section 3.3, or if such Insurance Deposits have been waived, upon Xxxxxx's receipt of written notice (i) of an unpaid and overdue Insurance Premium; (ii) of a termination or cancellation of any required insurance policy; or (iii) that a required insurance policy is not to be renewed and Borrower fails to provide replacement coverage at least fifteen (15) days prior to the termination of existing coverage, Lender may, at its option, procure and substitute another policy of insurance in the amount required pursuant to the foregoing terms of this Deed of Trust with such companies as Lender may select, the cost of which shall be paid by Borrower upon demand should the amount available from the Insurance Deposits be insufficient to pay the premium therefor. All sums paid by Lender in procuring said insurance that are not promptly reimbursed by Xxxxxxxx shall be additional Indebtedness and shall be immediately due and payable without notice, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such payment.
(b) In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Improvements or any part thereof, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender and take such action necessary to preserve the undamaged portion of the Improvements. Borrower shall obtain Xxxxxx's prior written consent to the settlement of any claim with respect to the Proceeds of any insurance in excess of $250,000. If, at the time of such damage or destruction,
(i) no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default;
(ii) the damage is such that it can be reasonably repaired within the time provided in the Major Leases (or Borrower has otherwise procured written waivers or adjustments from such tenants to conform with the timing of such completion), or Borrower obtains written commitments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender from tenants to lease space, upon completion of repairs, in the Secured Property at aggregate rentals equal to or exceeding the debt service of the Loan and the general operating expenses of the Secured Property;
13
(iii) the Real Estate and/or Improvements can be restored to the condition at least equal to the condition in which they existed immediately prior to the date of such damage (with any post-closing improvements included in such Restoration (as defined in this Section 3.8)); and
(iv) if required by Xxxxxx, a satisfactory report addressed to Xxxxxx from an environmental engineer or other qualified professional satisfactory to Lender certifies that no adverse environmental impact to the Secured Property has resulted from the casualty;
then, any Proceeds paid to Lender in connection with such damage or destruction, after deducting therefrom any third party out of pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in protecting the undamaged portion of the Improvements and in the collection of the Proceeds (the "Collection Expenses"), shall be applied to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding (herein generally called "Restoration") the Real Estate and/or Improvements or any part thereof as set forth in Section 3.10.
Otherwise, in Xxxxxx's sole discretion, all Proceeds, less Collection Expenses, shall be applied: (A) to the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity; or (B) to the cost of Restoration as set forth in Section 3.10.
(c) If Lender applies the Proceeds to the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity, and provided no Event of Default is in existence, no premium or fee shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness from the Proceeds. In addition, if the Proceeds are applied to the Indebtedness pursuant to the preceding sentence, and provided no Event of Default is in existence, Borrower may, at its option, pay the remaining Indebtedness in full (but not in part) without a premium or fee at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such application.
3.9 Condemnation.
(a) Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any proceedings, instituted or threatened, seeking condemnation or taking by eminent domain or any like process (a "Taking") of all or any part of the Real Estate or Improvements, including any easement thereon or Appurtenances (including severance of, consequential damage to or change in grade of streets), and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with any such proceeding.
(b) Borrower hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto Lender the entire Proceeds of any and all awards resulting from any Taking. Lender is hereby authorized to collect and receive from the condemnation authorities the entire Proceeds and is further authorized to give appropriate receipts and acquittances therefor.
14
(c) In the event of any such Taking, any and all such Proceeds shall be applied, after deducting therefrom any Collection Expenses, in Xxxxxx's sole discretion, but subject to the further terms of this Section 3.9, to: (i) the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity; or (ii) the cost of Restoration pursuant to Section 3.10.
(d) If (i) the Proceeds of any Taking exceed the greater of (A) $1,000,000; or (B) 5% of the then value of the affected Secured Property (as determined by an M.A.I. Appraisal obtained by Xxxxxx at the cost and expense of Borrower) but are less than the outstanding Indebtedness under the Loan as of the date of such Taking and are received at least one year prior to the Maturity Date; (ii) the requirements stated in Sections 3.8(b)(i), (ii) and (v) above are satisfied; and (iii) in Lender’s reasonable judgment, the remainder of the Secured Property can be operated (A) as an economically viable project at substantially the same level of operations which existed immediately prior to the Taking; and (B) at the functional equivalent of its condition (considering, without limitation, the effect of the Taking on the remaining leasable area, parking and access) prior to the Taking (the “Viability Requirements”); then, such Proceeds, after deducting therefrom the Collection Expenses, shall be applied to the cost of Restoration pursuant to Section 3.10.
(e) If (i) the Proceeds of any Taking do not exceed the greater of (A) $1,000,000; or (B) 5% of the then value of the affected Secured Property (as determined by an M.A.I. Appraisal obtained by Lender at the cost and expense of Borrower); (ii) no Event of Default is in existence on the date of such Taking and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default; and (iii) the Viability Requirements are met; then, such Proceeds, after deducting therefrom the Collection Expenses, shall be applied to the cost of Restoration pursuant to Section 3.10.
(f) If Lender applies the Proceeds to the installments of the Indebtedness in the inverse order of maturity, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of such date which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, no premium or fee shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness from the Proceeds. In addition, if the Proceeds are applied to the Indebtedness because Lender has determined that the Viability Requirements have not been satisfied, and provided no Event of Default is in existence and no event shall have occurred as of the date of prepayment of the remaining Indebtedness in full which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, Borrower may, at its option, pay the remaining Indebtedness in full (but not in part) without a premium or fee at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such application.
(g) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the Taking is, in the opinion of a licensed reputable contractor and engineer selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Xxxxxx, of such a nature that the Real Estate and the Improvements will not require Restoration, all Proceeds, after deducting therefrom the Collection Expenses, shall be paid as follows: (A) if Proceeds are equal to or less than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) in the aggregate, to Borrower for its use and enjoyment, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, and (B) if Proceeds are greater than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) in the aggregate, to Lender, which shall be applied to installments of Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity, and provided no Event of Default is in existence, no premium or fee shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Indebtedness from the Proceeds.

3.10 Restoration Using Proceeds.
(a) In the event Lender elects (or is required hereby) to make any Proceeds available for Restoration, Borrower shall complete, in form and with supporting documentation reasonably required by Lender, an estimate of the cost to repair or to restore the Real Estate and Improvements to a condition substantially equal to the condition in which they existed prior to such damage, destruction or Taking, free from any security interest in, lien or encumbrance on, or reservation of title to, such Real Estate and Improvements.
(b) If the amount required to complete Restoration exceeds $250,000, then the Proceeds and, if applicable, other amounts payable by Borrower necessary to complete Restoration shall be held by Lender or, if Lender so desires, a disbursing agent selected by Borrower and acceptable to Lender and may be invested using Borrower’s taxpayer identification number in an interest bearing account mutually acceptable to Borrower and Lender. The reasonable costs and expenses of administering disbursements shall be paid by Borrower form Proceeds. In the event the amount of the Proceeds are insufficient to cover the cost of Restoration, Borrower shall pay to Lender within ten (10) business days following written demand, the cost of Restoration in excess of the Proceeds, such excess to be held by Lender with the Proceeds.
(c) If the amount required to complete Restoration is $250,000 or less, then the Proceeds may be delivered directly to Borrower and shall be applied by Borrower to the cost of Restoration. Borrower shall complete such Restoration in a timely and workmanlike manner, free from any security interest in, mechanics' or materialmen's lien or encumbrance on, or reservation of title to, the Real Estate and Improvements.
(d) Subject to Xxxxxx's right to limit the number of disbursements, the Proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon Xxxxxx's receipt of architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements and such other evidence as Lender or any disbursing agent may reasonably require to verify the cost and fact of the completion of the work included in said disbursement. Under no circumstances shall any portion of the Proceeds be released until Xxxxxx has been reasonably assured that the Proceeds remaining after the requested disbursement will be sufficient to complete Restoration. No payment of Proceeds made prior to the final completion of Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time. Any Proceeds remaining after Restoration shall be applied against the installments of Indebtedness in the inverse order of their maturity. In the event Lender elects (or is required hereby) to make any Proceeds available for Restoration, Borrower shall complete, in form and with supporting documentation reasonably required by Lender, an estimate of the cost to repair or to restore the Real Estate and Improvements to the condition at least equal to the condition in which they existed prior to such damage, destruction or Taking, free from any security interest in, lien or encumbrance on, or reservation of title to, such Real Estate and Improvements.

(b) Borrower shall not modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease in any material respect, either orally or in writing without the consent of Lender (provided that no consent of Lender shall be required with respect to amendments to expand the permitted use of the Real Estate under the Ground Lease, to extend the term of the Ground Lease or to correct ministerial errors in the Ground Lease), and Borrower shall not terminate, cancel, sever or surrender, or suffer the termination, cancellation, severance or surrender of the Ground Lease or the leasehold estate, without the consent of Lender and shall not in any way release or discharge the Ground Landlord of or from any material obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements by said party to be kept, observed or performed. Any attempt on the part of Borrower to exercise any right proscribed pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 3.28(b) without the prior written consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect;
25
(c) No release or forbearance of any of Borrower’s obligations under the Ground Lease pursuant to the terms thereof, or otherwise, shall release Borrower of its obligations under this Mortgage or any instrument supplemental hereto;
(d) Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any default by Ground Landlord under the Ground Lease, or of the receipt by Borrower of any notice of default from the Ground Landlord. Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender any and all information which Lender may reasonably request concerning the performance and observance of all covenants, agreements and conditions contained in the Ground Lease by the Ground Landlord to be observed and performed, including, without limitation, any and all material notices, communications, plans, specifications or other instruments or documents received or given by Borrower in any way relating to or affecting the Ground Lease which may concern or affect the estate of the lessor or the lessee in or under the Ground Lease or in the leased premises thereby demised;
(e) In the event of any failure by Borrower to keep, observe or perform or failure to cause to be kept, observed or performed, any covenant, agreement or condition contained in the Ground Lease in any material respect or to comply with the terms and conditions of the Ground Lease in any material respect beyond applicable notice and cure periods under the Ground Lease, Lender may, at Lender’s option, perform, observe or comply with the Ground Lease on behalf of Borrower, and any such performance, observance or compliance by Lender shall not remove or waive, as between Borrower and Lender any corresponding Event of Default under the terms of this Mortgage. Any amount so advanced by Lender to effect such performance, observance or compliance and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be a demand obligation of Borrower to Lender, and, to the extent permitted by law, shall be added to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by this Mortgage;
(f) Borrower shall not, without Xxxxxx’s prior written consent, elect to treat the Ground Lease or the leasehold estate as terminated under Subsection 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, after rejection or disaffirmance of Ground Lease by the Ground Landlord, or its successors and assigns, or by any trustee of any such party, and any such election made without such consent shall be void and ineffective;
(g) Borrower hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over unto Lender all of Borrower’s claims and rights to the payment of damages that may hereafter arise as a result of any rejection or disaffirmance of the Ground Lease by the Ground Landlord, or its successors and assigns, or by any trustee of any such party pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. Lender shall have and is hereby granted the right to proceed, in its own name or in the name of Xxxxxxxx, in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection or disaffirmance of the Ground Lease (including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents) in any case in respect of such lessor or any of its successors and assigns, under the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all of the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage shall have been satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts received by Lender as damages arising out of any such rejection or disaffirmance of the Ground Lease shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with the exercise of its rights under this subparagraph and then, in such manner as Lender shall determine, to the reduction of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due, and the balance, if any, shall then be paid to Borrower;
26
(h) In the event, that, pursuant to Subsection 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower seeks to offset against the rent or other payments payable under the Ground Lease, the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the Ground Landlord, or its successors and assigns, of such party’s obligations under the Ground Lease after rejection or disaffirmance thereof under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Lender of Xxxxxxxx’s intent to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. Lender shall have the right to object to all or any part of such offset, and, in the event of such objection, Borrower shall not effect any offset of the amounts so objected to by Lender. If Lender shall have failed to object as aforesaid within ten (10) business days after such notice, Borrower may proceed to effect such offset in the amounts set forth in such notice. Neither Lender’s failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection or other communication between Borrower and Lender relating to such offset shall constitute an approval by Lender of any such offset;
(i) Borrower shall, promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, give written notice to Lender of any actual or contemplated filing by or against the Ground Landlord, of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and use reasonable efforts to give prompt oral notice to Lender of such actual or contemplated filing. The aforesaid written notice shall set forth any information available to Borrower concerning the date on which such petition was filed or is expected to be filed, and the relief sought therein. Borrower shall promptly after receipt thereof, deliver to Lender any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Borrower in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto;
(j) In the event that any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of the Ground Landlord, or the Real Estate, or the Secured Property or any part thereof, in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender shall have, and is hereby granted, the option, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel of Xxxxxx’s choice. Lender may proceed, in its own name or in the name of Xxxxxxxx, in connection with any such litigation, and Xxxxxxxx agrees to execute any and all powers, pleadings, authorizations, consents and other documents required by Xxxxxx in connection therewith. Borrower shall, upon demand, pay to Lender all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by Xxxxxx in connection with the prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings, together with interest at the Default Rate, and, to the extent permitted by law, such costs, expenses and interest shall be added to the Indebtedness and shall be secured hereby. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in respect of the Ground Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code;
27
(k) In the event that a petition under the Bankruptcy Code shall be filed by or against Borrower and Borrower or any trustee of Borrower shall decide to reject or disaffirm the Ground Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall give Lender at least ten (10) business days prior written notice of the date on which application shall be made to the court for authority to reject or disaffirm the Ground Lease. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower or such trustee within such ten (10) day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that Borrower or such trustee assume and assign the Ground Lease to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) Lender covenants to cure, or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Ground Lease. In the event that Xxxxxx serves such notice upon Borrower or such trustee, neither Borrower nor such trustee shall seek to reject or disaffirm the Ground Lease and Borrower and such trustee shall comply with such demand within thirty (30) days after such notice shall have been given, subject to Xxxxxx’s performance of such covenant;
(l) In the event that a petition under the Bankruptcy Code shall be filed by or against Borrower, and if within thirty (30) days after the date of filing of such petition neither Borrower nor any trustee of Borrower shall take any affirmative action to assume, reject or disaffirm the Ground Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, then Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower or such trustee a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that Borrower or such trustee assume and assign the Ground Lease to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) Lender covenants to cure, or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of, all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Ground Lease. In the event that Lender serves such notice upon Borrower or such trustee, either Borrower or such trustee shall comply with such demand within fifteen (15) days after such notice shall have been given, subject to Lender’s performance of such covenant;
(m) Borrower hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender a nonexclusive right to apply to the Bankruptcy Court under Subsection 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code for an order extending the period during which the Ground Lease may be rejected, disaffirmed or assumed after the entry of any order for relief in respect of Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code; and
(n) If at any time during the term of the loan secured by this Deed of Trust , the Borrower or any party affiliated with Borrower, shall acquire either (i) the interest in the Real Estate currently held by the Ground Landlord, or (ii) the fee title to the Real Estate, or any portion thereof, such title shall be subject to the lien hereof upon such acquisition without the necessity of any further writing, or the recording of any further instrument.

Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the herein-named Trustee, or its successors or assigns in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. Xxxxxxxx hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and its heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, that the recitals contained in any deed or deeds executed in due form by Trustee or any substitute Trustee, acting under the provisions of this Deed of Trust, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts recited, and that it shall not be necessary to prove in any court, otherwise than by such recitals, the existence of the facts essential to authorize the execution and delivery of such deed or deeds and the passing of title thereby.
(d) At any time, or from time to time, without liability therefor and without notice upon written request of Xxxxxx, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for the payment of the Loan or the effect of this Deed of Trust upon the remainder of the Secured Property, Trustee may reconvey any part of the Secured Property, consent in writing to the making of any map or plat thereof, join in granting any easement thereon, or join in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.
(e) Upon written request of Xxxxxx stating that the Loan has been paid and all Obligations satisfied, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Secured Property then held hereunder.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may at any time thereafter declare the entire Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, without any further presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind being required and Lender, at its option and in its sole discretion, shall also be entitled to do any of the following:
(i) make any payments or take any other actions it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the Secured Property including, without limitation, to obtain a current appraisal of the Secured Property, to inspect the Secured Property, to pay any tax, assessment, insurance premium, lien, encumbrance or other charge against the Secured Property, and to obtain a title report and/or Trustee’s sale guaranty. Borrower shall, upon demand, reimburse Lender for all sums so advanced or expenses incurred by it, together with interest at the Default Rate from the date of advance or payment of the same, which sums shall be added to the Obligations and secured by this Deed of Trust. Lender may enter upon the Secured Property without prior notice to Borrower or judicial process and may take any action to enforce its rights hereunder without liability to Borrower;
32
(ii) (A) in person, by agent or by a receiver, without regard to the adequacy of security, the solvency of Borrower or the condition of the Secured Property, without obligation to do so and without notice to or demand upon Borrower, enter upon and take possession of the Secured Property or any part thereof in its own name or in the name of a trustee and do any acts which Lender deems necessary to preserve the value or marketability of the Secured Property; (B) sue for or otherwise collect the Rents and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against the Indebtedness, all in such order as Lender may determine; (C) appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect, in any manner whatsoever, the Indebtedness, the security hereof or the rights or powers of Lender; (D) pay, purchase or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien that, in the judgment of Xxxxxx, is prior or superior hereto; and (E) in exercising any such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorneys' fees;
(iii) as a matter of strict right and without notice to Borrower or anyone claiming under Borrower, and without regard to: (A) the solvency of Borrower; (B) whether there has been or may be any impairment of or diminution in the value of the Secured Property; or (C) whether the amount of the Indebtedness exceeds the then value of the Secured Property, apply ex parte to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver to enter upon and take possession of the Secured Property and Borrower hereby waives notice of any application therefor, provided, if required by law, a hearing to confirm such appointment with notice to Borrower is set within the time required by law (any such receiver shall have all the powers and duties of receivers in similar cases and all the powers and duties of Lender in case of entry as provided herein, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale, unless such receivership is sooner terminated);
(iv) commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust in the manner provided in this Deed of Trust or by law;
(v) with respect to any Collateral, proceed as to both the real and personal property in accordance with Xxxxxx's rights and remedies in respect of the Real Estate and Improvements, or proceed to sell said Collateral separately and without regard to the Real Estate and Improvements in accordance with Xxxxxx's rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral; and
(vi) direct Trustee, and Trustee shall be empowered, to foreclose the Secured Property by advertisement and exercise of sale under applicable law by delivering to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale and written notice of default and Xxxxxx’s election to cause the Secured Property to be sold, which notice Trustee shall cause to be recorded, filed for record, mailed, published and/or posted as may be required by law. After the lapse of the period required by law following the recordation of said notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as required by law, Trustee, without demand on Borrower, shall sell the Secured Property at the time and place fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, or otherwise in the manner prescribed by law, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Secured Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Borrower, or Lender, but excluding Trustee, may purchase at such sale. All unexpired hazard insurance on the property so sold shall pass to and inure to the benefit of the purchaser of such property at such sale and Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to assign in Borrower’s name to such purchaser all such policies, which may be amended or rewritten to show the interest of such purchaser. If foreclosure be made by Trustee, to the extent allowed by law, reasonable attorney fees for services in the supervision of foreclosure proceedings shall be allowed by Trustee as part of the costs of foreclosure. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, after deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Deed of Trust, including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest as provided in the Note; all other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
33
(b) In (i) any action to foreclose the lien of this Deed of Trust or enforce any other remedy of Lender under any of the Loan Documents; or (ii) any other proceeding whatsoever in connection with any of the Loan Documents or the Secured Property in which Lender is named as a party, there shall be allowed and included, as additional indebtedness in the judgment or decree for sale resulting therefrom, all expenses paid or incurred in connection with such proceeding by or on behalf of Lender, including, without limitation, attorneys' and paralegals' fees, appraisers' fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs, land and environmental survey costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of such judgment or decree) of procuring all abstracts of title, title certificates, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, Torrens certificates and any similar data and assurances with respect to the title to the Secured Property as Lender may deem reasonably necessary either to prosecute or defend in such proceeding or to evidence to bidders at any sale pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or value of the Secured Property, incurred by Xxxxxx. All expenses and fees of the foregoing nature and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Secured Property and the maintenance of the lien of this Deed of Trust thereon in any litigation or proceeding affecting the Loan Documents or the Secured Property, including probate and bankruptcy proceedings, proceedings to obtain a receiver, or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding in connection therewith, shall upon demand of Lender be immediately due and payable by Borrower with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment of such expenses and fees and shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust.

(i) make any payments hereunder or thereunder payable by Xxxxxxxx, with interest on all such payments at the Default Rate; and/or
34
(ii) after the expiration of any applicable grace period and subject to Xxxxxxxx's right to contest certain Obligations specifically granted in this Deed of Trust, perform any such other acts thereunder on part of Borrower to be performed and enter upon the Secured Property for such purpose.

(e) The proceeds of any foreclosure sale of the Secured Property shall be distributed and applied in accordance with the applicable law of the State or as otherwise directed by order of the court in which this Deed of Trust is foreclosed.
(f) All remedies of Lender provided for herein are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided in the other Loan Documents or by law, including any right of offset. The exercise of any right or remedy by Xxxxxx hereunder shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of any default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Loan Documents, invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default or prejudice Lender in the exercise of any of its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents.
(g) To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives its right of redemption in the event of foreclosure.
(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and in addition to the remedies available to Lender in this Article Five, Borrower and Guarantor (individually, a "Liable Party" and collectively, the "Liable Parties") shall immediately and automatically be and become personally liable for the payment of the Indebtedness upon the occurrence of (i) a Transfer in violation of Section 3.11; and/or (ii) any of the bankruptcy-related Events of Default under Sections 4.1(i)(C), 4.1(j), 4.1(k) (solely with respect to authorizing the action set forth in Section 4.1(i)(C)) or 4.1(l) of this Deed of Trust.

7.5 Severability.

7.13 Limitation of Liability.
In consideration of the security provided by Borrower to Lender for repayment of the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, the liens on and security interests in the Secured Property granted pursuant to this Deed of Trust and the assignment of the Rents and Leases made pursuant to the Assignment of Rents and Leases, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Deed of Trust or under any of the other Loan Documents, Xxxxxx agrees that it shall not, except as otherwise set forth in this Section, seek to enforce, nor shall Lender be entitled to enforce, any deficiency or monetary judgment against Borrower, any partner of Borrower, any member of Borrower, any shareholder of Borrower or any beneficiary of Borrower (individually, an "Exculpated Party", and collectively, the "Exculpated Parties"), personally, and shall not levy or execute judgment upon any property of the Exculpated Parties, other than the Secured Property; it being expressly agreed, acknowledged and understood, however, that the foregoing limitation of the liability of an Exculpated Party shall not apply to, and nothing contained herein shall in any manner or way release, affect or impair:
(a) The existence of the Indebtedness and Obligations created in and evidenced by the Loan Documents;
(b) The enforceability of the liens, security interests and assignments created in and granted by the Loan Documents against the Secured Property;
(c) The enforceability of the Environmental Indemnification Agreement and any Guaranty given to Lender; or
(d) The right of Lender to recover, jointly and severally, from the Liable Parties: (i) all Indebtedness as set forth in Section 5.1(h) of this Deed of Trust and (ii) all Losses (as defined in the Note) incurred by Xxxxxx (whether directly or indirectly) as set forth in Section 5 of the Note.
7.14 Waiver of Trial by Jury.
Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim filed by any party, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, relating directly or indirectly to this Deed of Trust or any acts or omissions of Borrower in connection therewith or contemplated thereby.
7.15 Servicing Fees and Expenses.
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall impose certain reasonable administrative processing fees (the “Servicing Fees”), not to exceed $10,000 per Servicing Action, in connection with (a) the extension, renewal, modification, amendment and termination of the Loan Documents; (b) the release or substitution of collateral therefor (other than pursuant to the terms of the Agreement Regarding Permitted Releases, which Servicing Fees shall be paid in accordance therewith); (c) the consideration of any consents, waivers and approvals with respect to the Secured Property or Borrower; or (d) any other services provided by Lender or any of its agents to or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Secured Property, the Loan Documents or the Indebtedness secured thereby (the occurrence of any of the foregoing shall hereafter be referred to as a “Servicing Action”). Lender shall not impose Servicing Fees for the review of any Lease or proposed Lease or the preparation or review of any tenant estoppel certificate or any subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees to pay, immediately, upon demand, all such Servicing Fees, and any additional fees of a similar type or nature that may be imposed by Xxxxxx from time to time in connection with a Servicing Action. For avoidance of doubt, the Servicing Fee shall not be charged to the extent that another fee is payable to Lender pursuant to the express terms of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Agreement Regarding Permitted Releases). Borrower shall also be responsible for the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses of Xxxxxx’s outside counsel in the event that Xxxxxx, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine that the assistance of an outside attorney is necessary or appropriate to accomplish the Servicing Action.
41
7.16 Subrogation.
To the extent the proceeds of the Indebtedness are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or encumbrance affecting the Secured Property (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any prior lien), Lender shall be subrogated to all rights, interests and liens owned or held by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, charges and encumbrances, irrespective of whether such liens, charges or encumbrances are released of record; provided, however, the terms and provisions hereof shall govern the rights and remedies of Lender and, to the extent permitted by law without impairing any of Lender's rights of subrogation, shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights and remedies under the lien or liens to which Xxxxxx is subrogated hereunder.
7.17 Modifications and Extensions.
Borrower and Xxxxxx may agree to (a) extend the time for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness; (b) reduce, rearrange or otherwise modify the terms of payment thereof; (c) accept a renewal note or notes therefor; and (d) otherwise deal with the Secured Property or the Loan Documents, all without notice to or the consent of any junior lienholder or any other Person having an interest in the Secured Property and/or Collateral subordinate to the lien of this Deed of Trust and without the consent of Borrower if Xxxxxxxx has then parted with title to the Secured Property and/or Collateral. No such extension, reduction, modification, renewal or dealing shall affect the priority of this Deed of Trust or release any liability of Borrower or any other Person or impair the security hereof in any manner whatsoever.
7.18 State Specific Provisions. In the event of any inconsistencies between the other terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust and this Section 7.18, the terms and conditions of this Section 7.18 shall control and be binding.
(a) Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the Secured Property is not used, and shall not be used, principally for agricultural purposes and this Deed of Trust does not secure an obligation incurred primarily for personal, family or household purposes. This Deed of Trust secures an obligation incurred exclusively for commercial, business or investment purposes. Borrower agrees that the Loan proceeds shall be used exclusively for commercial, business or investment purposes.
42
(b) If a suit or an action is instituted in connection with any controversy arising out of this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document or to enforce any rights thereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover such amount as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys' or paralegals' fees and costs of litigation at trial or on any appeal or review, in addition to all other amounts provided by law.
(c) If this Deed of Trust is foreclosed as a mortgage, the purchaser at such foreclosure sale, during any redemption period, may make such repairs and take such actions on the Secured Property as may be reasonably necessary for the proper operation, care, preservation, protection and insurance of the Secured Property. All sums expended by the purchaser in the exercise of any such right or remedy and all reasonable costs and expenses so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure by the purchaser (or the highest lawful rate if that is less) shall be added to and become part of the amount required to be paid for the redemption from such sale.
(d) To the extent the Washington Deed of Trust Act, as now existing or hereafter amended, or other statute requires that the “fair market value” or “fair value” of the Secured Property be determined as of the foreclosure date in order to enforce a deficiency against Borrower or any other party liable for repayment of the Obligations, the term “fair market value” or “fair value” shall include those matters required by law and the additional factors set forth below:
(i) The Secured Property shall be valued “as is” and “with all faults” and there shall be no assumption of restoration or refurbishment of Improvements, if any, after the date of the foreclosure.
(ii) An offset to the fair market value or fair value of the Secured Property, as determined hereunder, shall be made by deducting from such value the reasonable estimated closing costs related to the sale of the Secured Property, including but not limited to brokerage commissions, title policy expenses, tax pro-rations, escrow fees, and other common charges that are typically incurred by the seller of real property.
43
Borrower shall pay the costs of any appraisals and other expenses incurred in connection with any such determination of fair market value or fair value.
