ARTICLE I
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER
          Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, does hereby represent, warrant and covenant to and with Lender, its successors and assigns, that:
          Section 1.1 Organization; Special Purpose. Borrower and its general partner have been duly organized and are each validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Borrower and its general partner are each duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations. Borrower possesses all franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, licenses and permits necessary for the conduct of its business substantially as now conducted. Borrower and its general partner are each a Single-Purpose Entity in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.29 hereof.
          Section 1.2 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property, subject only to those matters expressly set forth as exceptions to or subordinate matters in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Mortgage delivered as of the date hereof which Lender has agreed to accept, excepting therefrom all preprinted and/or standard exceptions (such items being the “Permitted Encumbrances”), and has full power and lawful authority to grant, bargain, sell, convey, assign, transfer, encumber and mortgage its interest in the Property in the manner and form hereby done or intended. Borrower will preserve its interest in and title to the Property and will forever warrant and defend the same to Lender against any and all claims whatsoever and will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien and security interest created herein against the claims of all persons and parties whomsoever, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances. This Mortgage creates (i) a valid, perfected lien on the Premises, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the liens created by the Loan Documents and (ii) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no security agreements or financing statements affecting all or any portion of the Property other than (i) as disclosed in writing by Borrower to Lender prior to the date hereof and (ii) the security agreements and financing statements created in favor of Lender. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Premises which are or may become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the liens created by the Loan Documents. None of the Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by this Mortgage, materially and adversely affect the value of the Premises, impair the use or operations of the Premises or impair Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations in a timely manner. The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the foreclosure of this Mortgage and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender in the event Lender acquires title to the Property pursuant to any foreclosure.

          Section 1.3 No Bankruptcy Filing. No bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings or liquidation of all or a substantial portion of the Property is pending or contemplated by Borrower or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, against Borrower or by or against any endorser or cosigner of the Note or of any portion of the Debt, or any guarantor or indemnitor under any guaranty or indemnity agreement, including, without limitation, that certain Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement, dated the date hereof, executed by Acadia Realty Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, in favor of Lender (the “Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement”), executed in connection with the Note or the loan evidenced thereby and secured hereby (an “Indemnitor”). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any general partner, manager, sole member, managing member or majority shareholder of Borrower, as applicable (collectively, the “Borrower Parties”, each a “Borrower Party”), and neither Borrower Party or any principal of a Borrower Party has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.
          Section 1.4 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or, as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower and the Property (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Mortgage. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.
          Section 1.5 Proceedings; Enforceability. The execution, delivery and performance of this Mortgage, the Note and all of the other Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action to be, and are, binding and enforceable against Borrower in accordance with the respective terms thereof and do not contravene, result in a breach of or constitute a default (nor upon the giving of notice or the passage of time or both will same constitute a default) under the partnership agreement, articles of incorporation, operating agreement or other organizational documents of Borrower or any contract or agreement of any nature to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any of its property may be bound and do not violate or contravene any law, order, decree, rule or regulation to which Borrower is subject. The Loan Documents are not subject to, and Borrower has not asserted, any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury.
          Section 1.6 No Conflicts. Borrower is not required to obtain any consent, approval or authorization from or to file any declaration or statement with, any governmental

6


 

authority or agency in connection with or as a condition to the execution, delivery or performance of this Mortgage, the Note or the other Loan Documents which has not been so obtained or filed. Borrower has obtained or made all necessary (i) consents, approvals and authorizations and registrations and filings of or with all governmental authorities or agencies and (ii) consents, approvals, waivers and notifications of partners, stockholders, members, creditors, lessors and other non-governmental persons and/or entities, in each case, which are required to be obtained or made by Borrower in connection with the execution and delivery of, and the performance by Borrower of its obligations under, the Loan Documents.
          Section 1.7 Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation T, U or X or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by law or any Loan Document. Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
          Section 1.8 Taxes. Borrower and any general partner or managing member of Borrower, if any, has filed all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed as of the date hereof and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower and any general partner or managing member, if any, as of the date hereof. Borrower and any general partner or managing member, if any, believe that their respective tax returns properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower and said general partner or managing member, if any, for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit. Borrower and the Property are free from any past due obligations for sales and payroll taxes.
          Section 1.9 ERISA. Borrower (i) has no knowledge of any material liability that has been incurred or is expected to be incurred by Borrower that is or remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any “employee benefit plan”, as defined in section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or any “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any other benefit plan (other than a multi-employer plan) maintained, contributed to, or required to be contributed to by Borrower or by any entity that is under the common control with Borrower within the meaning of ERISA Section 4001(a)(14) (collectively, a “Plan”) or any plan that would be a Plan but for the fact that it is a multi-employer plan within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(37) and (ii) has made and shall continue to make when due all required contributions to all such Plans, if any. Each such Plan, if any, has been and will be administered in compliance with its terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Federal or state law and no action shall be taken or fail to be taken that would result in the disqualification or loss of the tax-exempt status of any such Plan, if any, intended to be

7


 

qualified or tax-exempt. The assets of Borrower do not constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.
          Section 1.10 Property Compliance. The Premises and the Improvements and the current intended use thereof by Borrower comply in all material respects with all applicable restrictive covenants, zoning ordinances, subdivision and building codes, flood disaster laws, health and environmental laws and regulations and all other ordinances, orders or requirements issued by any state, federal or municipal authorities having or claiming jurisdiction over the Property. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Premises. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Premises is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Premises. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Premises have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The Premises and Improvements constitute one or more separate tax parcels for purposes of ad valorem taxation. The Premises and Improvements do not require any rights over, or restrictions against, other property in order to comply with any of the aforesaid governmental ordinances, orders or requirements.
          Section 1.11 Utilities. All utility services necessary and sufficient for the full use, occupancy, operation and disposition of the Premises and the Improvements for their intended purposes are available to the Property, including water, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, gas, electric, cable and telephone facilities, through public rights-of-way or perpetual private easements approved by Lender. The Property is free from delinquent water charges, sewer rents, taxes and assessments.
          Section 1.12 Public Access. All streets, roads, highways, bridges and waterways necessary for access to and full use, occupancy, operation and disposition of the Premises and the Improvements have been completed, have been dedicated to and accepted by the appropriate municipal authority and are open and available to the Premises and the Improvements without further condition or cost to Borrower. All curb cuts, driveways and traffic signals shown on the survey delivered to Lender prior to the execution and delivery of this Mortgage are existing and have been fully approved by the appropriate governmental authority.
          Section 1.13 Litigation; Agreements. There are no judicial, administrative, mediation or arbitration actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower (or, if Borrower is a partnership or a limited liability company, any of its general partners or members) or the Property which, if adversely determined, would materially impair either the Property or Borrower’s ability to perform the covenants or obligations required to be performed under the Loan Documents. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the

8


 

obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the Property is bound.
          Section 1.14 Physical Condition. As of the date of this Mortgage, (i) the Property is free from unrepaired damage caused by fire, flood, accident or other casualty, (ii) no part of the Premises or the Improvements has been taken in condemnation, eminent domain or like proceeding nor is any such proceeding pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge and belief, threatened or contemplated, (iii) except as may otherwise be disclosed in that certain Property Condition Report (the “Property Condition Report”) dated January 4, 2007 and prepared by IVI Due Diligence Services, Inc., the Improvements are structurally sound, in good repair and free of defects in materials and workmanship and have been constructed and installed in substantial compliance with the plans and specifications relating thereto, and (iv) all major building systems located within the Improvements, including, without limitation, the heating and air conditioning systems and the electrical and plumbing systems, are in good working order and condition.
          Section 1.15 Contracts. Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct and complete copies of all Contracts and all amendments thereto or modifications thereof. Each Contract constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, is enforceable against any other party thereto. No default exists, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would exist, under any Contract which would, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Borrower or the Property. No Contract provides any party with the right to obtain a lien or encumbrance upon the Property superior to the lien of this Mortgage. All Contracts affecting the Property have been entered into at arms-length in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.
          Section 1.16 Leases. Borrower has delivered (i) a true, correct and complete schedule (the “Rent Roll”) of all Leases affecting the Property as of the date hereof, which accurately and completely sets forth in all material respects for each such Lease, the following: the name of the Tenant, the Lease expiration date, extension and renewal provisions, the base rent payable, the security deposit held thereunder and any other material provisions of such Lease and (ii) true, correct and complete copies of all Leases described in the Rent Roll. Each Lease constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, is enforceable against the Tenant thereof. No default exists, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would exist, under any Lease which would, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Borrower or the Property. No Tenant under any Lease has, as of the date hereof, paid rent more than thirty (30) days in advance, and the rents under such Leases have not been waived, released, or otherwise discharged or compromised. All security deposits required under such Leases have been fully funded and are held by Borrower in a separate segregated account or as otherwise required by applicable law. All work to be performed by Borrower under the Leases has been substantially performed, all contributions to be made by Borrower to the Tenants thereunder have been made and all other conditions precedent to each such Tenant’s obligations thereunder have been satisfied. Each Tenant under a Lease has entered into occupancy of the demised premises. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, each Tenant is free from bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement proceedings or a general assignment for the benefit of creditors. No Lease provides

9


 

any party with the right to obtain a lien or encumbrance upon the Property superior to the lien of this Mortgage.
          Section 1.17 Foreign Person. Borrower is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of §1445(f)(3) of the Code, and the related Treasury Department regulations, including temporary regulations.
          Section 1.18 Management Agreement. The property management agreement relating to the Premises (the “Management Agreement”) is in full force and effect and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder by any party thereto beyond the expiration of applicable notice and grace periods thereunder and no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation by any party thereunder. The fee due under the Management Agreement, and the terms and provisions of the Management Agreement, are subordinate to this Mortgage.
          Section 1.19 Fraudulent Transfer. Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

     For purposes of this Section 1.20, “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly Controlling or Controlled by or under direct or indirect common Control with such Person.

12


 

     For purposes of this Section 1.20, “Control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or general partnership or managing member interests, by contract or otherwise. “Controlling” and “Controlled” shall have correlative meanings. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Person shall be deemed to Control any other Person in which it owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the ownership interests.
     For purposes of this Section 1.20, “Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization, or other organization, whether or not a legal entity, and any governmental authority.
All of the representations and warranties in this Article I and elsewhere in the Loan Documents (i) shall survive for so long as any portion of the Debt remains owing to Lender and (ii) shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.
ARTICLE II
COVENANTS OF BORROWER
          For the purposes of further securing the Debt and for the protection of the security of this Mortgage, for so long as the Debt or any part thereof remains unpaid, Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:
          Section 2.1 Defense of Title. If, while this Mortgage is in force, the title to the Property or the interest of Lender therein shall be the subject, directly or indirectly, of any action at law or in equity, or be attached directly or indirectly, or endangered, clouded or adversely affected in any manner, Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, shall take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of said title or interest, including the employment of counsel approved by Lender, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of claims made against said title or interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender determines that Borrower is not adequately performing its obligations under this Section, Lender may, without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies of Lender hereunder, take such steps with respect thereto as Lender shall deem necessary or proper and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.
          Section 2.2 Performance of Obligations. Borrower shall pay when due the principal of and the interest on the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note. Borrower shall also pay all charges, fees and other sums required to be paid by Borrower as provided in the Loan Documents, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and shall observe, perform and discharge all obligations, covenants and agreements to be observed, performed or discharged by Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents in accordance with their terms.

13


 

Further, Borrower shall promptly and strictly perform and comply with all covenants, conditions, obligations and prohibitions required of Borrower in connection with any other document or instrument affecting title to the Property, or any part thereof, regardless of whether such document or instrument is superior or subordinate to this Mortgage.
          Section 2.3 Insurance. Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense, maintain in force and effect on the Property at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect the following insurance:
          (a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Property by fire, lightning, windstorm, tornado, hail, terrorism, riot and civil commotion, vandalism, malicious mischief, burglary and theft and against loss and damage by such other, further and additional risks as may be now or hereafter embraced by a “special causes of loss” type of insurance policy. The amount of such insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements (as established by a Member of the Appraisal Institute appraisal), without reduction for depreciation. The determination of the replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to comply with the requirements of the insurer issuing such coverage or, at Lender’s election, by reference to such indices, appraisals or information as Lender determines in its reasonable discretion in order to reflect increased value due to inflation. Absent such annual adjustment, each policy shall contain inflation guard coverage insuring that the policy limit will be increased over time to reflect the effect of inflation. “Full replacement cost,” as used herein and elsewhere in this Section 2.3, means, with respect to the Improvements, the cost of replacing the Improvements without regard to deduction for depreciation, exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor. Borrower shall also maintain insurance against loss or damage to furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment and other items (whether personalty or fixtures) included in the Property and owned by Borrower from time to time to the extent applicable. Each policy shall contain a replacement cost endorsement and either an agreed amount endorsement (to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions) or a waiver of any co-insurance provisions, all subject to Lender’s approval. The maximum deductible shall be $25,000.00.
          (b) If the “special causes of loss” policy required in subsection (a) above excludes coverage for wind damage, Borrower shall maintain separate coverage for such risk. Furthermore, if the Property is located in the State of Florida, or within twenty five (25) miles of the ocean coast of the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Hawaii or South Carolina, windstorm insurance must be maintained in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of the Property or (ii) the maximum limit of coverage available with respect to the Improvements and Equipment. If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months general business income coverage specifically relating to wind damage shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be $25,000.00.
          (c) Ordinance and law insurance is required if the Property is “non-conforming” with respect to any zoning requirements. Borrower shall maintain “Coverage A” against loss on value to the undamaged portion of the Improvements for the full replacement cost of the Improvements. Borrower shall also maintain “Coverage B” against the cost of demolition in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the total value of the Improvements and “Coverage

14


 

C” against increased cost of reconstruction in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the total value of the Improvements. The maximum deductible shall be $25,000.00.
          (d) Commercial General Liability Insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage occurring on, in or about the Premises or the Improvements in amounts not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate plus umbrella coverage in an amount not less than $25,000,000. Lender hereby retains the right to periodically review the amount of said liability insurance being maintained by Borrower and to require an increase in the amount of said liability insurance should Lender deem an increase to be reasonably prudent under then existing circumstances. The maximum deductible shall be $25,000.00.
          (e) Equipment breakdown (also known as boiler and machinery) insurance is required if steam boilers or other pressure-fired vessels are in operation at the Premises. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the greater of the replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements housing such boiler or pressure-fired machinery or $2,000,000.00. If one or more large HVAC units is in operation at the Premises, “Systems Breakdowns” coverage shall be required, as determined by Lender. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the value of such unit(s). If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months general business income coverage specifically relating to boiler and machinery damage shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be $25,000.00. Co-insurance is prohibited.
          (f) If the Improvements or any part thereof is situated in an area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) as a special flood hazard area (Zone A or Zone V), flood insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or the unpaid balance of the Debt if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured), or (ii) the maximum insurance available under the appropriate National Flood Insurance Administration program. If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months general business income coverage specifically relating to flood damage shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be $3,000.00 per building or a higher minimum amount as required by FEMA or other applicable law.
          (g) If the Property is situated in an area designated by FEMA as a high probability earthquake area (Zone 2b or greater), Lender may require a Probable Maximum Loss (“PML”) study to be conducted at the Property. If the PML study reveals a PML equal to or exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the full replacement cost of the Improvements, Borrower shall be required to maintain earthquake insurance in an amount equal to the PML percentage of full replacement cost of the Improvements. If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months Business Income coverage specifically relating to earthquake damage shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be no more than five percent (5%) of the value at risk or the lowest deductible available in the State in which the Property is located.
          (h) During the period of any construction, renovation or alteration of the existing Improvements which exceeds the lesser of 10% of the principal amount of the Note or $750,000, at Lender’s request, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Lender, may be

15


 

required. During the period of any construction of any addition to the existing Improvements, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Lender, shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be $25,000.00.
          (i) When required by applicable law, ordinance or other regulation, Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance covering all persons subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the state in which the Property is located. Additionally, if Borrower has direct employees, Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance is required in an amount equal to $1,000,000 per occurrence. The maximum deductible shall be $25,000.00.
          (j) In addition to the specific risk coverages required herein, general business income (loss of rents) insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate Borrower for all Rents and Profits or income during a period of not less than eighteen (18) months. The “actual loss” amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the greater of (i) estimated Rents and Profits or income payable during the succeeding eighteen (18) month period or (ii) the projected operating expenses, capital expenses and debt service for the Property as approved by Lender in its sole discretion. Additionally, Lender, in its sole discretion, may require an “Extended Period of Indemnity” endorsement for an additional six (6) months to allow for re-leasing of the Property. The maximum deductible shall be $25,000.00.
          (k) Such other insurance on the Property or on any replacements or substitutions thereof or additions thereto as may from time to time be required by Lender against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of property similarly situated including, without limitation, Sinkhole, Mine Subsidence and Environmental insurance, due regard being given to the height and type of buildings, their construction, location, use and occupancy.
          All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers fully licensed and authorized to do business in the state within which the Premises is located and who have and maintain a rating of at least (A) A or higher from Standard & Poors and (B) AIX or higher from A.M. Best, (ii) contain the complete address of the Premises (or a complete legal description), (iii) be for terms of at least one year, with premium prepaid, and (iv) be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, content, forms of policies, method by which premiums are paid and expiration dates, and (v) include a standard, non-contributory, mortgagee clause naming EXACTLY:
Wachovia Bank, National Association,
its Successors and Assigns ATIMA
c/o Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Servicer
P.O. Box 563956
Charlotte, North Carolina ###-###-####
(A) as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies, (B) as the first mortgagee on all property insurance policies and (C) as the loss payee on all loss of rents or loss of business income insurance policies.

16


 

          Borrower shall, as of the date hereof, deliver to Lender evidence that said insurance policies have been prepaid as required above and certified copies of such insurance policies and original certificates of insurance signed by an authorized agent of the applicable insurance companies evidencing such insurance satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall renew all such insurance and deliver to Lender an Acord 28 certificate for proof of commercial property insurance and an Acord 25 certificate for proof of liability insurance, together with such other certificates reasonably requested by Lender. Borrower further agrees that each such insurance policy: (i) shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender prior to any policy reduction or cancellation for any reason other than non-payment of premium and at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Lender prior to any cancellation due to non-payment of premium; (ii) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to Lender in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance; (iii) shall waive all rights of subrogation against Lender; and (iv) may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that, in the event that any such coverage is provided in the form of a blanket policy, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that failure to pay any portion of the premium therefor which is not allocable to the Property or by any other action not relating to the Property which would otherwise permit the issuer thereof to cancel the coverage thereof, would require the Property to be insured by a separate, single-property policy. The blanket policy must properly identify and fully protect the Property as if a separate policy were issued for 100% of Replacement Cost at the time of loss and otherwise meet all of Lender’s applicable insurance requirements set forth in this Section 2.3. The delivery to Lender of the insurance policies or the certificates of insurance as provided above shall constitute an assignment of all proceeds payable under such insurance policies relating to the Property by Borrower to Lender as further security for the Debt. In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all proceeds payable under such policies then in force concerning the Property shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, or in Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title. Approval of any insurance by Lender shall not be a representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance. In the event Borrower fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Lender the policies of insurance required by this Mortgage or evidence of their renewal as required herein, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and Borrower shall pay all amounts advanced by Lender therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date advanced by Lender until actually repaid by Borrower, promptly upon demand by Lender. Any amounts so advanced by Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Lender shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the insolvency of the insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform, even though Lender has caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after failure of Borrower to furnish such insurance. Borrower shall not obtain insurance for the Property in addition to that required by Lender without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that (i) Lender is a named insured on such insurance, (ii) Lender receives complete copies of all policies evidencing such insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable requirements set forth herein.

17


 

          Section 2.4 Payment of Taxes. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid, except to the extent provision is actually made therefor pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Mortgage, all taxes and assessments which are or may become a lien on the Property or which are assessed against or imposed upon the Property. Borrower shall furnish Lender with receipts (or if receipts are not immediately available, with copies of canceled checks evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after they become available) showing payment of such taxes and assessments at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable delinquency date therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and upon notice to Lender, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted tax or assessment so long as (a) such contest is diligently pursued, (b) Lender determines, in its subjective opinion, that such contest suspends the obligation to pay the tax and that nonpayment of such tax or assessment will not result in the sale, loss, forfeiture or diminution of the Property or any part thereof or any interest of Lender therein, and (c) prior to the earlier of the commencement of such contest or the delinquency date of the asserted tax or assessment, Borrower deposits in the Impound Account (as hereinafter defined) an amount determined by Lender to be adequate to cover the payment of such tax or assessment and a reasonable additional sum to cover possible interest, costs and penalties; provided, however, that Borrower shall promptly cause to be paid any amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all interest, costs and penalties thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; and provided further that in any event each such contest shall be concluded and the taxes, assessments, interest, costs and penalties shall be paid prior to the date any writ or order is issued under which the Property may be sold, lost or forfeited.
          Section 2.5 Casualty and Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt written notice of (i) the occurrence of any casualty affecting the Property or any portion thereof, (ii) the institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof or (iii) any written notification threatening the institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof or any written request to execute a deed in lieu of condemnation affecting the Property or any portion thereof. All insurance proceeds on the Property, and all causes of action, claims, compensation, awards and recoveries for any damage, condemnation or taking, or any deed in lieu of condemnation, affecting all or any part of the Property or for any damage or injury to it for any loss or diminution in value of the Property, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. Lender may participate in any suits or proceedings relating to any such proceeds, causes of action, claims, compensation, awards or recoveries, and Lender is hereby authorized, in its own name or in Borrower’s name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender any instruments required to permit such participation; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, and no event has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both would constitute an Event of Default (a “Default”), Lender shall not have the right to participate in the adjustment of any loss which is not in excess of the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $100,000. Lender shall apply any sums received by it under this Section first to the payment of all of its costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in obtaining those sums, and then, as follows:

18


 

          (a) In the event that less than (x) fifteen percent (15%), in the case of condemnation, or thirty percent (30%), in the case of casualty, of the fair market value or net rentable square footage of the Improvements located on the Premises have been taken or destroyed and (y) Leases covering in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, and each Major Lease (as hereinafter defined) in effect as of such date shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for restoration, then if and so long as:
     (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and
     (2) the Property can, in Lender’s judgment, with diligent restoration or repair, be returned to a condition at least equal to the condition thereof that existed prior to the casualty or partial taking causing the loss or damage within the earlier to occur of (A) nine (9) months after the initial receipt of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards by either Borrower or Lender but in any event prior to the expiration or lapse of rent loss or general business income necessary to satisfy current obligations of the Loan, and (B) six (6) months prior to the stated maturity date of the Note, and
     (3) all necessary governmental approvals can be obtained to allow the rebuilding and reoccupancy of the Property as described in Section (a)(2) above, and
     (4) there are sufficient sums available (through insurance proceeds or condemnation awards and contributions by Borrower, the full amount of which shall, at Lender’s option, have been deposited with Lender) for such restoration or repair (including, without limitation, for any costs and expenses of Lender to be incurred in administering said restoration or repair) and for payment of principal and interest to become due and payable under the Note during such restoration or repair, and
     (5) the economic feasibility of the Improvements after such restoration or repair will be such that income from their operation is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to pay operating expenses of the Property and debt service on the Debt in full with the same coverage ratio considered by Lender in its determination to make the loan secured hereby, and
     (6) in the event that the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received as a result of such casualty or partial taking exceed the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $150,000, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, an appraisal report in form and substance satisfactory to Lender appraising the value of the Property as proposed to be restored or repaired to be not less than the appraised value of the Property considered by Lender in its determination to make the loan secured hereby, and
     (7) Borrower so elects by written notice delivered to Lender within five (5) days after settlement of the aforesaid insurance or condemnation claim.

19


 

Lender shall, solely for the purposes of such restoration or repair, advance so much of the remainder of such sums as may be required for such restoration or repair, and any funds deposited by Borrower therefor, to Borrower in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the prior approval by Lender of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Lender of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its discretion, with any remainder being applied by Lender for payment of the Debt in whatever order Lender directs in its absolute sole discretion, or at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to, or for the benefit of, Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate in its discretion.
          (b) In all other cases, namely, in the event that (x) more than fifteen percent (15%), in the case of condemnation, or thirty percent (30%), in the case of casualty, of the fair market value or net rentable square footage of the Improvements located on the Premises have been taken or destroyed, (y) Leases covering in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, and each Major Lease (as hereinafter defined) in effect as of such date will not remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for restoration, or (z) Borrower does not elect to restore or repair the Property pursuant to clause (a) above or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of clause (a) above, then, in any of such events, Lender shall elect, in Lender’s absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of Lender’s security to do either of the following: (1) accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any and all of the Debt to be immediately due and payable and apply the remainder of such sums received pursuant to this Section to the payment of the Debt in whatever order Lender directs in its absolute discretion, with any remainder being paid to Borrower, or (2) notwithstanding that Borrower may have elected not to restore or repair the Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.5(a)(7) above, so long as the proceeds of any such award with respect to any casualty or condemnation are made available to the Borrower for restoration, require Borrower to restore or repair the Property in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the deposit by Borrower with Lender, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, of any deficiency reasonably determined by Lender to be necessary in order to assure the availability of sufficient funds to pay for such restoration or repair, including Lender’s costs and expenses to be incurred in connection therewith, the prior approval by Lender of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Lender of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its discretion, and apply the remainder of such sums toward such restoration and repair, with any balance thereafter remaining being applied by Lender for payment of the Debt in whatever order Lender directs in its absolute sole discretion, or at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to, or for the benefit of, Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate in its discretion.

20


 

Any reduction in the Debt resulting from Lender’s application of any sums received by it hereunder shall take effect only when Lender actually receives such sums and elects to apply such sums to the Debt and, in any event, the unpaid portion of the Debt shall remain in full force and effect and Borrower shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Partial payments received by Lender, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be applied first to the final payment due under the Note and thereafter to installments due under the Note in the inverse order of their due date. If Borrower elects or Lender directs Borrower to restore or repair the Property after the occurrence of a casualty or partial taking of the Property as provided above, Borrower shall promptly and diligently, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds or condemnation award, as appropriate, shall be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such casualty or partial taking in accordance with the foregoing provisions and Borrower shall pay to Lender all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in administering said rebuilding, restoration or repair, provided that Lender makes such proceeds or award available for such purpose. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as may be requested by Lender to confirm the foregoing assignment to Lender of any award, damage, insurance proceeds, payment or other compensation. Lender is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of Borrower (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this Section, to settle for, collect and receive any such awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittances therefor.
          Section 2.6 Construction Liens. Borrower shall pay when due all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or materials delivered for the Premises or the Improvements; provided, however, that, Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith any such claim or demand, so long as it does so diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Lender and provided that neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result of such proceeding or contest. In the event Borrower shall contest any such claim or demand, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such contest and thereafter shall, upon Lender’s request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other security satisfactory to Lender to protect Lender’s interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful. If Borrower shall fail to immediately discharge or provide security against any such claim or demand as aforesaid, Lender may do so and any and all expenses incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.
          Section 2.7 Rents and Profits. As additional and collateral security for the payment of the Debt and cumulative of any and all rights and remedies herein provided for, Borrower hereby absolutely and presently assigns to Lender all existing and future Rents and Profits. Borrower hereby grants to Lender the sole, exclusive and immediate right, without taking possession of the Property, to demand, collect (by suit or otherwise), receive and give

21


 

valid and sufficient receipts for any and all of said Rents and Profits, for which purpose Borrower does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint Lender its attorney-in-fact with full power to appoint substitutes or a trustee to accomplish such purpose (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof). Lender shall be without liability for any loss which may arise from a failure or inability to collect Rents and Profits, proceeds or other payments. However, until the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Mortgage or under any other of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall have a license to collect, receive, use and enjoy the Rents and Profits when due and prepayments thereof for not more than one (1) month prior to due date thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s license shall automatically terminate without notice to Borrower and Lender may thereafter, without taking possession of the Property, collect the Rents and Profits itself or by an agent or receiver. From and after the termination of such license, Borrower shall be the agent of Lender in collection of the Rents and Profits, and all of the Rents and Profits so collected by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lender, and Borrower shall, within one (1) business day after receipt of any Rents and Profits, pay the same to Lender to be applied by Lender as hereinafter set forth. Neither the demand for or collection of Rents and Profits by Lender shall constitute any assumption by Lender of any obligations under any agreement relating thereto. Lender is obligated to account only for such Rents and Profits as are actually collected or received by Lender. Borrower irrevocably agrees and consents that the respective payors of the Rents and Profits shall, upon demand and notice from Lender of an Event of Default, pay said Rents and Profits to Lender without liability to determine the actual existence of any Event of Default claimed by Lender. Borrower hereby waives any right, claim or demand which Borrower may now or hereafter have against any such payor by reason of such payment of Rents and Profits to Lender, and any such payment shall discharge such payor’s obligation to make such payment to Borrower. All Rents collected or received by Lender may be applied against all expenses of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, against costs of operation and management of the Property and against the Debt, in whatever order or priority as to any of the items so mentioned as Lender directs in its sole subjective discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security. Neither the exercise by Lender of any rights under this Section nor the application of any Rents to the Debt shall cure or be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default. The assignment of Rents and Profits hereinabove granted shall continue in full force and effect during any period of foreclosure or redemption with respect to the Property. Borrower has executed an Assignment of Leases and Rents dated of even date herewith (the “Lease Assignment”) in favor of Lender covering all of the right, title and interest of Borrower, as landlord, lessor or licensor, in and to any Leases. All rights and remedies granted to Lender under the Lease Assignment shall be in addition to and cumulative of all rights and remedies granted to Lender hereunder.
          Section 2.8 Leases.
          (a) Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall not enter into any retail Lease (i) affecting 5,000 square feet or more of the Property or (ii) having a term of ten (10) years or more (inclusive of any renewals or extensions) (each, a “Major Lease”) without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The request for

22


 

approval of each such proposed new Lease shall be made to Lender in writing and shall state that, pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage, failure to approve or disapprove such proposed Lease within fifteen (15) business days is deemed approval and Borrower shall furnish to Lender (and any loan servicer specified from time to time by Lender): (i) such biographical and financial information about the proposed Tenant as Lender may require in conjunction with its review, (ii) a copy of the proposed form of Lease, and (iii) a summary of the material terms of such proposed Lease (including, without limitation, rental terms and the term of the proposed lease and any options). It is acknowledged that Lender intends to include among its criteria for approval of any such proposed Lease the following: (i) such Lease shall be with a bona-fide arm’s-length Tenant; (ii) such Lease shall not contain any rental or other concessions which are not then customary and reasonable for similar properties and Leases in the market area of the Premises; (iii) such Lease shall provide that the Tenant pays for its expenses; (iv) the rental shall be at least at the market rate then prevailing for similar properties and leases in the market areas of the Premises; and (v) such Lease shall contain subordination and attornment provisions in form and content acceptable to Lender. Failure of Lender to approve or disapprove any such proposed Lease within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such written request and all the documents and information required to be furnished to Lender with such request shall be deemed approval, provided that the written request for approval specifically mentioned the same.
          (b) Prior to execution of any Leases of space in the Improvements after the date hereof, Borrower shall submit to Lender, for Lender’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, a copy of the form Lease Borrower plans to use in leasing space in the Improvements or at the Property in a form for commercial/retail leases as set forth on Exhibit B-1 and for residential leases as set forth in Exhibit B-2, both attached hereto. All such Leases of space in the Improvements or at the Property shall be on terms consistent with the terms for similar leases in the market area of the Premises, shall provide for free rent only if the same is consistent with prevailing market conditions and shall provide for market rents then prevailing in the market area of the Premises. Such Leases shall also provide for security deposits in reasonable amounts consistent with prevailing market conditions. Borrower shall also submit to Lender for Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, prior to the execution thereof, any proposed Lease of the Improvements or any portion thereof that differs materially and adversely from the aforementioned form Lease. Borrower shall not execute any Lease for all or a substantial portion of the Property, except for an actual occupancy by the Tenant, lessee or licensee thereunder, and shall at all times promptly and faithfully perform, or cause to be performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in all Leases with respect to the Property, now or hereafter existing, on the part of the landlord, lessor or licensor thereunder to be kept and performed. Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within ten (10) days after a request by Lender to do so, but in any event by January 1 of each year, a current Rent Roll, certified by Borrower as being true and correct, containing the names of all Tenants with respect to the Property, the terms of their respective Leases, the spaces occupied and the rentals or fees payable thereunder and the amount of each Tenant’s security deposit. Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of each such Lease. Borrower shall not do or suffer to be done any act, or omit to take any action, that might result in a default by the landlord, lessor or licensor under any such Lease or allow the Tenant thereunder to withhold payment of rent or cancel or terminate same and shall not further assign any such Lease or any such Rents and Profits. Borrower, at no cost or expense to Lender, shall enforce, short of termination, the performance and observance of each and every condition and covenant of each

23


 

of the parties under such Leases and Borrower shall not anticipate, discount, release, waive, compromise or otherwise discharge any rent payable under any of the Leases. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, modify any of the Leases, terminate or accept the surrender of any Leases, waive or release any other party from the performance or observance of any obligation or condition under such Leases except, with respect only to Leases which are not Major Leases, in the normal course of business in a manner which is consistent with sound and customary leasing and management practices for similar properties in the community in which the Property is located. Lender reserves the right to condition its consent to any termination or surrender of any Lease upon the payment to Lender of any lease termination or other payment due from the applicable tenant in connection with such termination or surrender. Borrower and Lender agree that all such sums paid to Lender shall be held by Lender as a tenant improvement and leasing commission reserve and shall be considered a “Reserve” as described in Section 3.1 hereof and all such amounts shall be held, maintained, applied and disbursed in accordance with Lender’s standard procedures relating to similar reserves. Borrower shall not permit the prepayment of any rents under any of the Leases for more than one (1) month prior to the due date thereof.
          (c) Each Lease executed after the date hereof affecting any of the Premises or the Improvements must provide, in a manner approved by Lender, that the Tenant will recognize as its landlord, lessor or licensor, as applicable, and attorn to any person succeeding to the interest of Borrower upon any foreclosure of this Mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Each such Lease shall also provide that, upon request of said successor-in-interest, the Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming its attornment as provided for in this Section; provided, however, that neither Lender nor any successor-in-interest shall be bound by any payment of rent for more than one (1) month in advance, or any amendment or modification of said Lease made without the express written consent of Lender or said successor-in-interest.
          (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Mortgage, whether before or after the whole principal sum secured hereby is declared to be immediately due or whether before or after the institution of legal proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage, forthwith, upon demand of Lender, Borrower shall surrender to Lender, and Lender shall be entitled to take actual possession of, the Property or any part thereof personally, or by its agent or attorneys. In such event, Lender shall have, and Borrower hereby gives and grants to Lender, the right, power and authority to make and enter into Leases with respect to the Property or portions thereof for such rents and for such periods of occupancy and upon conditions and provisions as Lender may deem desirable in its sole discretion, and Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that the term of any such Lease may extend beyond the date of any foreclosure sale of the Property, it being the intention of Borrower that in such event Lender shall be deemed to be and shall be the attorney-in-fact of Borrower for the purpose of making and entering into Leases of parts or portions of the Property for the rents and upon the terms, conditions and provisions deemed desirable to Lender in its sole discretion and with like effect as if such Leases had been made by Borrower as the owner in fee simple of the Property free and clear of any conditions or limitations established by this Mortgage. The power and authority hereby given and granted by Borrower to Lender shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall not be revocable by Borrower so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof. In connection with any action taken by

24


 

Lender pursuant to this Section, Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Borrower resulting from any failure to let the Property, or any part thereof, or from any other act or omission of Lender in managing the Property, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease covering the Property or any part thereof or under or by reason of this instrument or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder. Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify Lender for, and hold Lender harmless from, any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, loss or damage which may or might be incurred by Lender under any such Lease or under this Mortgage or by the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any such Lease other than those finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Should Lender incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including, without limitation, costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender by Borrower on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Nothing in this Section shall impose on Lender any duty, obligation or responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property, or for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any such Lease, nor shall it operate to make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the Tenants or by any other parties or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property. Borrower hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of Lender with respect to the Property taken under this Section.
          (e) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause the applicable tenant to furnish, to Lender financial data and/or financial statements in accordance with Regulation AB (as defined herein) for any tenant of any Property if, in connection with a securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in such securitization such that such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor (as defined herein); provided, however, that in the event the related lease does not require the related tenant to provide the foregoing information, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable tenant to furnish such information.
          Section 2.9 Alienation and Further Encumbrances.
          (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has relied upon the principals of Borrower and their experience in owning and operating the Property and properties similar to the Property in connection with the closing of the loan evidenced by the Note. Accordingly, except as specifically allowed hereinbelow in this Section and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.6 hereof, in the event that the Property or any part thereof or direct or indirect interest therein or direct or indirect interest in Borrower shall be sold, conveyed, disposed of, alienated, hypothecated, leased (except to Tenants of space in the Improvements in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 hereof), assigned, pledged, mortgaged, further encumbered or otherwise transferred or Borrower shall be divested of its title to the Property or

25


 

any direct or indirect interest therein, in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (each, a “Transfer”), without the prior written consent of Lender being first obtained, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, then the same shall constitute an Event of Default and Lender shall have the right, at its option, to declare any or all of the Debt, irrespective of the maturity date specified in the Note, immediately due and payable and to otherwise exercise any of its other rights and remedies contained in Article V hereof.
          (b) A Transfer within the meaning of this Section 2.9 shall be deemed to include, among other things: (i) an installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; and (ii) an agreement by Borrower leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents and Profits.
          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Transfers shall be permitted under this Section 2.9 without the prior consent of Lender: (i) a Transfer of corporate stock, partnership interests (other than the general partner’s direct interests in Borrower owned by any SPE Equity Owner) and/or membership interests (other than the managing member’s direct interests in Borrower owned by any SPE Equity Owner) in Borrower, or in any partner or member of Borrower, or any direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner of Borrower, so long as following such Transfer (whether in one or a series of transactions) or, with respect to any creation or issuance of new limited partnership interests or membership interests, not more than 49% of the beneficial economic interest in Borrower (whether directly or indirectly) has been transferred in the aggregate and there is no Change of Control and the persons responsible for the day to day management of the Property and Borrower remain unchanged following such Transfer, (ii) any involuntary Transfer caused by the death of Borrower, or any partner, shareholder, joint venturer, member or beneficial owner of a trust, or any direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner of Borrower, so long as Borrower is promptly reconstituted, if required, following such death and so long as there is no Change of Control and those persons responsible for the day to day management of the Property and Borrower remain unchanged as a result of such death or any replacement management or controlling parties are approved by Lender, (iii) a Transfer comprised of gifts for estate planning purposes of any individual’s interests in Borrower, or in any of Borrower’s partners, members, shareholders, beneficial owners of a trust or joint venturers, or any direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner of Borrower, to the spouse or any lineal descendant of such individual, or to a trust for the benefit of any one or more of such individual, spouse or lineal descendant, so long as Borrower is reconstituted promptly, if required, following such gift and so long as there is no Change of Control and those persons responsible for the day to day management of the Property and Borrower remain unchanged following such gift, (iv) transfers of stock in Acadia Realty Trust as traded on the New York Stock Exchange, (v) a Transfer of 100% of the membership interests of Acadia Realty Limited Partnership in Borrower and Acadia 239 Greenwich Avenue, LLC, the sole general partner of Borrower (“Sole General Partner”), to Aberdeen-239, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“Aberdeen”), provided prior to the consummation of such Transfer Lender has obtained satisfactory legal due diligence searches on James Cummings, including, but not limited to, credit, bankruptcy, litigation, tax lien, judgment and UCC searches at Borrower’s expense, which searches must be satisfactory to Lender in all respects before any such Transfer under this Section 2.9(c)(v) may be consummated and provided further that after such Transfer James

26


 

Cummings owns 50% or more of the membership interests in Aberdeen and controls the management of Aberdeen, (vi) a Transfer by Aberdeen of 100% of its partnership interest in Borrower to General Partner or a related subsidiary or parent of General Partner, (vii) a transfer by General Partner of 100% of its partnership interest in Borrower to Aberdeen provided prior to the consummation of such Transfer Lender has obtained satisfactory legal due diligence searches on James Cummings, including, but not limited to, credit, bankruptcy, litigation, tax lien, judgment and UCC searches at Borrower’s expense, which searches must be satisfactory to Lender in all respects before any such Transfer under this Section 2.9(c)(vii) may be consummated and provided further that after such Transfer James Cummings owns 50% or more of the membership interests in Aberdeen and controls the management of Aberdeen and (viii) one or more Transfers of the membership interests in Aberdeen provided after each such Transfer James Cummings owns 50% or more of the membership interests in Aberdeen and controls the management of Aberdeen. Notwithstanding any provision of this Mortgage to the contrary, and except as provided in Section 2.9(c), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) above, no person or entity may become an owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower, which interest exceeds forty-nine (49%) percent, without Lender’s prior written consent unless Borrower has complied with the provisions set forth in Section 2.9(d) below. For purposes of this Section 2.9(c), “Change of Control” shall mean a change in the identity of the individual or entities or group of individuals or entities who have the right, by virtue of any partnership agreement, articles of incorporation, by-laws, articles of organization, operating agreement or any other agreement, with or without taking any formative action, to cause Borrower to take some action or to prevent, restrict or impede Borrower from taking some action which, in either case, Borrower could take or could refrain from taking were it not for the rights of such individuals. “Control” shall mean the right, by virtue of any partnership agreement, articles of incorporation, by-laws, articles of organization, operating agreement or any other agreement, with or without taking any formative action, to cause Borrower to take some action or to prevent, restrict or impede Borrower from taking some action which, in either case, Borrower could take or could refrain from taking were it not for the rights of such individuals. No fees, legal opinions or No-Downgrade Confirmations (as hereinafter defined) shall be required for any of the permitted transfers in this Section 2.9(c).
          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Lender shall consent to (x) one or more Transfers of the Property in its entirety, or (y) one or more Transfers of direct or indirect interests in the Borrower for which consent is required under this Section 2.9 (any such hereinafter, a “Sale”) to any person or entity provided that, for each Sale, each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:
     (1) No Default and no Event of Default is then continuing hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents;
     (2) Borrower gives Lender written notice of the terms of such prospective Sale not less than sixty (60) days before the date on which such Sale is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, gives Lender all such information concerning the proposed transferee of the Property or the proposed owner of the direct or indirect interest in the Borrower for which consent is required under this Section 2.9, as applicable (hereinafter, “Buyer”) as Lender would require in evaluating an initial extension of credit to a borrower (it being acknowledged and agreed that (x) such information required to be

27


 

delivered with respect to the related Buyer shall not be materially more extensive than the corresponding information provided by the initial Borrower and initial Indemnitor and (y) the initial Borrower and initial Indemnitor shall not be required to deliver any additional information with respect to such initial Borrower, Indemnitor or their respective members or partners which are not then currently required to be delivered by the initial Borrower and initial Indemnitor pursuant to the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document), including, without limitation, information evidencing the Buyer’s compliance with the provisions of Section 2.30 and Section 2.31 hereof and pays to Lender a non-refundable application fee in the amount of $5,000. Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed Buyer. In determining whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed Buyer, Lender shall consider the Buyer’s experience and track record in owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, the Buyer’s financial strength, the Buyer’s general business standing and the Buyer’s relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders and other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Lender’s agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based on what Lender determines to be commercially reasonable in Lender’s sole discretion and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem appropriate For Loans of less than $50,000,000: provided, further, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall evaluate the proposed Buyer and any replacement Indemnitor pursuant to this clause (d) as if it were evaluating an initial extension of credit to a borrower pursuant to permanent market underwriting standards and without regard to the financial or other condition of the Borrower or any current Indemnitor and without regard to the impact on the trust which owns the Loan in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction or any class of Securities issued thereunder;
     (3) Borrower pays Lender, concurrently with the closing of such Sale, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note plus an amount equal to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and Rating Agency fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the Sale;
     (4) In the event that such Sale is a Transfer of the Property in its entirety, the Buyer assumes and agrees to pay the Debt subject to the provisions of Section 6.27 hereof and, in all cases (whether such Sale is a Transfer of the Property in its entirety or a Transfer of direct or indirect interests in the Borrower for which consent is required under this Section 2.9), prior to or concurrently with the closing of such Sale, the Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption and delivers such legal opinions (including, without limitation, a REMIC opinion) as Lender may require;
     (5) A party associated with the Buyer approved by Lender in its sole discretion assumes the obligations of the current Indemnitor under its guaranty or indemnity agreement and environmental indemnity agreement and such party associated with the Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, a substitution agreement

28


 

or a new guaranty or indemnity agreement or environmental indemnity agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and delivers such legal opinions as Lender may require; provided, however, in connection with an assumption of the Loan, (x) the Buyer shall not be required to post any additional collateral with Lender or deposit any additional reserves with Lender beyond that in effect immediately prior to the related assumption and (y) the party associated with the Buyer which enters into such substitution agreement or new guaranty or indemnity agreement or environmental indemnity shall not be required to maintain evidence of credit worthiness greater than that required by permanent market underwriting standards;

In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower shall inspect and maintain all ACM’s on a regular basis and ensure that all ACM’s shall be maintained in a condition that prevents exposure of residents to ACM’s at all times. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Lender may require (i) periodic notices or reports to Lender in form, substance and at such intervals as

44


 

Lender may specify, (ii) an amendment to such operations and maintenance program to address changing circumstances, laws or other matters, (iii) at Borrower’s sole expense, supplemental examination of the Property by consultants specified by Lender, and (iv) variation of the operations and maintenance program in response to the reports provided by any such consultants.
          (j) If, prior to the date hereof, it was determined that the Property contains Lead Based Paint, Borrower had prepared an assessment report describing the location and condition of the Lead Based Paint (a “Lead Based Paint Report”). If, at any time hereafter, Lead Based Paint is suspected of being present on the Property, Borrower agrees, at its sole cost and expense and within twenty (20) days thereafter, to cause to be prepared a Lead Based Paint Report prepared by an expert, and in form, scope and substance, acceptable to Lender. Borrower agrees that if it has been, or if at any time hereafter it is, determined that the Property contains Lead Based Paint, on or before thirty (30) days following (i) the date hereof, if such determination was made prior to the date hereof or (ii) such determination, if such determination is hereafter made, as applicable, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expenses, develop and implement, and thereafter diligently and continuously carry out (or cause to be developed and implemented and thereafter diligently and continually to be carried out), an operations, abatement and maintenance plan for the Lead Based Paint on the Property, which plan shall be prepared by an expert, and be in form, scope and substance, acceptable to Lender (together with any Lead Based Paint Report, the “O&M Plan”). If an O&M Plan has been prepared prior to the date hereof, Borrower agrees to diligently and continually carry out (or cause to be carried out) the provisions thereof. Compliance with the O&M Plan shall require or be deemed to require, without limitation, the proper preparation and maintenance of all records, papers and forms required under the Environmental Laws.
          Section 2.28 Indemnification; Subrogation.
          (a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless against: (i) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made relating to the Property or the Debt, and (ii) any and all liability, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees) of whatever kind or nature which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by Lender in connection with the Debt, this Mortgage, the Property, or any part thereof, or the exercise by Lender of any rights or remedies granted to it under this Mortgage or arise from the information provided in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Borrower to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses enacted against, imposed on or incurred by Lender by reason of Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
          (b) If Lender is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened or brought against Lender concerning the Debt, this Mortgage, the Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or the construction, maintenance, operation or occupancy or use thereof, then Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against all liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Lender in any such litigation or claim, whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment. If Lender commences an action against Borrower to enforce

45


 

any of the terms hereof or to prosecute any breach by Borrower of any of the terms hereof or to recover any sum secured hereby, Borrower shall pay to Lender its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. The right to such attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action, and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. If Borrower breaches any term of this Mortgage, Lender may engage the services of an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and in the event of such engagement following any breach by Borrower, Borrower shall pay Lender reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Lender, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Borrower by reason of such breach.

In order to implement the admission to Borrower of Special Member, Special Member shall execute a counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior to its admission to Borrower as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of Borrower.
          (c) Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of Member shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the

49


 

continued membership of Member in Borrower, agree in writing (i) to continue Borrower and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of Borrower, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member of Borrower in Borrower. Any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any creditors rights laws shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower shall continue without dissolution. The LLC Agreement shall provide that each of Member and Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve Borrower upon the occurrence of any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any creditors rights laws, or the occurrence of an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower.

ARTICLE III
RESERVES AND CASH MANAGEMENT
          Section 3.1 Reserves Generally.
          (a) As additional security for the payment and performance by Borrower of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, conveys, pledges, mortgages, transfers, delivers, deposits, sets over and confirms unto Lender, and hereby grants to Lender a security interest in, (i) the Payment Reserve, the Impound Account, the Immediate Repair Reserve, the Replacement Reserve, as applicable (each as hereinafter defined) and any other reserve or escrow account established pursuant to the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document (collectively, the “Reserves”), (ii) the accounts into which the Reserves have been deposited, (iii) all insurance on said accounts, (iv) all accounts, contract rights and general intangibles or other rights and interests pertaining thereto, (v) all sums now or hereafter therein or represented thereby, (vi) all replacements, substitutions or proceeds thereof, (vii) all instruments and documents now or hereafter evidencing the Reserves or such accounts, (viii) all powers, options, rights, privileges and immunities pertaining to the Reserves (including the right to make withdrawals therefrom), and (ix) all proceeds of the foregoing. Borrower hereby authorizes and consents to the account into which the Reserves have been deposited being held in Lender’s name or the name of any entity servicing the Note for Lender and hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender, or at Lender’s election, such servicing agent, shall have exclusive control over said account. Notice of the assignment and security interest granted to Lender herein may be delivered by Lender at any time to the financial institution wherein the Reserves have been established, and Lender, or such servicing entity, shall have possession of all passbooks or other evidences of such accounts. Borrower hereby assumes all risk of loss with respect to amounts on deposit in the Reserves. Funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then prevailing commercial money market rate. All amounts deemed earned on funds contributed to the Replacement Reserve at the rate referenced in the immediately preceding sentence shall be retained by Lender and accumulated for the benefit of Borrower and added to the balance in the Replacement Reserve and shall be disbursed for payment of the items for which other funds in the Replacement Reserve are to be disbursed. Borrower shall not be entitled to earn any interest with respect to funds on deposit in the

52


 

Payment Reserve, the Impound Account and the Immediate Repairs Reserve. Borrower hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally stipulates, acknowledges and agrees that the advancement of the funds from the Reserves as set forth herein is at Borrower’s direction and is not the exercise by Lender of any right of set-off or other remedy upon a Default or an Event of Default. Borrower hereby waives all right to withdraw funds from the Reserves except as provided for in this Mortgage. If an Event of Default shall occur hereunder or under any other of the Loan Documents Lender may, without notice or demand on Borrower, at its option: (A) withdraw any or all of the funds (including, without limitation, interest) then remaining in the Reserves and apply the same, after deducting all costs and expenses of safekeeping, collection and delivery (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) to the Debt or any other obligations of Borrower under the other Loan Documents in such manner as Lender shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, and the excess, if any, shall be paid to Borrower, (B) exercise any and all rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code, or (C) exercise any other remedies available at law or in equity. No such use or application of the funds contained in the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default.
          (b) The Reserves shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Lender’s option and in Lender’s discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Lender with the general funds of Lender. The Reserves are solely for the protection of Lender and entail no responsibility on Lender’s part beyond the payment of the respective items for which they are held following receipt of bills, invoices or statements therefor in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually received. Upon assignment of this Mortgage by Lender, any funds in the Reserves shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If the funds in the applicable Reserve shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes and items for which the applicable Reserve is held, such excess may be credited by Lender on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Lender, refunded to Borrower. If, however, the applicable Reserve shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required by the dates on which such sums are required to be on deposit in such account, Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Lender the full amount of any such deficiency. If Borrower shall fail to deposit with Lender the full amount of such deficiency as provided above, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make such deposit, and all amounts so deposited by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date so deposited by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. If there is an Event of Default under this Mortgage, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in any or all of the Reserves against the Debt in whatever order Lender shall subjectively determine. No such application of any or all of the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Upon full payment of the Debt in accordance with its terms or at such earlier time as Lender may elect, the balance of any or all of the Reserves then in Lender’s possession shall be paid over to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
          Section 3.2 Payment Reserve.

53


 

          (a) Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Borrower has established with Lender a reserve in the amount of the first (1st) payment of principal, interest and deposits for any applicable reserves or escrow accounts required under the terms of this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents as calculated by Lender (the “Payment Reserve”). Borrower understands and agrees that, notwithstanding the establishment of the Payment Reserve as herein required, all of the proceeds of the Note have been, and shall be considered, fully disbursed and shall bear interest and be payable on the terms provided therein.
          (b) For so long as no Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall, on the First Payment Date (as defined in the Note) under the Note, advance from the Payment Reserve to itself the amount of the monthly installment due and payable by Borrower under the Note on the First Payment Date and shall also advance from the Payment Reserve into the Impound Account the amount of any deposit for taxes and insurance premiums and into the Replacement Reserve (as hereinafter defined) the amount of any deposit for Repairs (as hereinafter defined) and into any other reserve account the amount of any deposit in accordance with the terms of any other Loan Document required to be paid by Borrower concurrently with such monthly installment pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof. Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred, after the scheduled disbursement from the Payment Reserve, any amounts then remaining in the Payment Reserve shall be paid to Borrower. Nothing contained herein, including, without limitation, the existence of the Payment Reserve, shall release Borrower of any obligation to make payments under the Note, this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents strictly in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof and, in this regard, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, should the amounts contained in the Payment Reserve not be sufficient to pay in full the monthly installments and the Impound Account, Replacement Reserve and any other applicable reserve account deposits referenced above in this subparagraph, Borrower shall be responsible for paying such deficiency on the First Payment Date.
          Section 3.3 Impound Account. Borrower shall establish and maintain at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect an impound account (the “Impound Account”) with Lender for payment of real estate taxes and assessments and insurance on the Property and as additional security for the Debt. Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Borrower shall deposit in the Impound Account an amount determined by Lender to be necessary to ensure that there will be on deposit with Lender an amount which, when added to the monthly payments subsequently required to be deposited with Lender hereunder on account of real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, will result in there being on deposit with Lender in the Impound Account an amount sufficient to pay the next due installment of real estate taxes and assessments on the Property at least one (1) month prior to the earlier of (a) the due date thereof or (b) any such date by which Borrower or Lender is required by law to pay same and the next due annual insurance premiums with respect to the Property at least one (1) month prior to the due date thereof. Commencing on the first monthly payment date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each monthly payment date under the Note, Borrower shall pay to Lender, concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Debt is fully paid and performed, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual real estate taxes and assessments that will next become due and payable on the Property, plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies which Borrower is required to maintain hereunder, each as

54


 

estimated and determined by Lender. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred, and no event has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both would constitute an Event of Default (a “Default”), all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Lender in the Impound Account to pay said taxes, assessments and insurance premiums before the same become delinquent. Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Lender, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all taxes, assessments and insurance premiums to be paid from the Impound Account, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall pay the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Lender shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.
          Section 3.4 Immediate Repair Reserve. Prior to the execution of this Mortgage, Lender has caused the Property to be inspected and such inspection has revealed that the Property is in need of certain maintenance, repairs and/or remedial or corrective work. Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Borrower has established with Lender a reserve in the amount of $5,250.00 (the “Immediate Repair Reserve”) by depositing such amount with Lender. Borrower shall cause each of the items described in that certain Property Condition Report (the “Deferred Maintenance”) to be completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of Lender and as necessary to bring the Property into compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations on or before the expiration of six (6) months after the effective date hereof, as such time period may be extended by Lender in its sole discretion. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, all sums in the Immediate Repair Reserve shall be held by Lender in the Immediate Repair Reserve to pay the costs and expenses of completing the Deferred Maintenance. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Immediate Repair Reserve, disburse to Borrower the amount paid or incurred by Borrower in completing, performing, remediating or correcting the Deferred Maintenance upon (a) the receipt by Lender of a written request from Borrower for disbursement from the Immediate Repair Reserve and a certification by Borrower in a form as may be required by Lender that the applicable item of Deferred Maintenance has been completed in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage, (b) delivery to Lender of invoices, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender verifying the costs of the Deferred Maintenance to be reimbursed, (c) delivery to Lender of a certification from an inspecting architect, engineer or other consultant reasonably acceptable to Lender describing the completed work, verifying the completion of the work and the value of the completed work and, if applicable, certifying that the Property is, as a result of such work, in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations relating to the Deferred Maintenance so performed, and (d) delivery to Lender of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished materials or labor to the Property have been paid all amounts due for such labor and materials furnished to the Property. Lender shall not be required to make advances from the Immediate Repair Reserve more frequently than once in any thirty

55


 

(30) day period. In making any payment from the Immediate Repair Reserve, Lender shall be entitled to rely on such request from Borrower without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any such amount. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a power-of-attorney, coupled with an interest, to cause the Deferred Maintenance to be completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of Lender upon Borrower’s failure to do so in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 3.4, and to apply the amounts on deposit in the Immediate Repair Reserve to the costs associated therewith, all as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion but without obligation to do so.
          Section 3.5 Replacement Reserve. As additional security for the Debt, Borrower shall establish and maintain at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect a repair reserve (the “Replacement Reserve”) with Lender for payment of costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the performance of work to the roofs, chimneys, gutters, downspouts, paving, curbs, ramps, driveways, balconies, porches, patios, exterior walls, exterior doors and doorways, windows, elevators and mechanical and HVAC equipment (collectively, the “Repairs”). Commencing on the first monthly Payment Date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each monthly Payment Date under the Note, Borrower shall pay to Lender, concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Debt is fully paid and performed, a deposit to the Replacement Reserve in an amount equal to $647.93 per month. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, all sums in the Replacement Reserve shall be held by Lender in the Replacement Reserve to pay the costs and expenses of Repairs. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Replacement Reserve, disburse to Borrower the amount paid or incurred by Borrower in performing such Repairs within ten (10) days following: (a) the receipt by Lender of a written request from Borrower for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve and a certification by Borrower in a form approved in writing by Lender that the applicable item of Repair has been completed; (b) the delivery to Lender of invoices, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender, verifying the cost of performing the Repairs; (c) for disbursement requests in excess of $25,000.00, the delivery to Lender of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished material or labor to the Property have been paid all amounts due for labor and materials furnished to the Property; (d) for disbursement requests in excess of $25,000.00, delivery to Lender of a certification from an inspecting architect or other third party acceptable to Lender describing the completed Repairs and verifying the completion of the Repairs and the value of the completed Repairs; and (e) for disbursement requests in excess of $25,000.00, delivery to Lender of a new certificate of occupancy for the portion of the Improvements covered by such Repairs, if said new certificate of occupancy is required by law, or a certification by Borrower that no new certificate of occupancy is required. Lender shall not be required to make advances from the Replacement Reserve more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period. In making any payment from the Replacement Reserve, Lender shall be entitled to rely on such request from Borrower without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any such amount. Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, make or cause to be made during the term of this Mortgage an annual inspection of the Property to determine the need, as determined by Lender in its reasonable judgment, for further Repairs of the Property. In the event that such inspection reveals that further Repairs of the Property are required, Lender shall provide Borrower with a written description of the required Repairs and Borrower shall

56


 

complete such Repairs to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender within ninety (90) days after the receipt of such description from Lender, or such later date as may be approved by Lender in its sole discretion.

          (a) Acceleration. Accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any or all of the Debt to be immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest, notice or action of any kind whatever (each of which is hereby expressly waived by Borrower), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable. Upon any such acceleration, payment of such accelerated amount shall constitute a prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and any applicable prepayment fee provided for in the Note shall then be immediately due and payable.
          (b) Entry on the Property. Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon and take possession of the Property, or any part thereof, without force or with such force as is permitted by law and without notice or process or with such notice or process as is required by law, unless such notice and process is waivable, in which case Borrower hereby waives such notice and process, and do any and all acts and perform any and all work which may be desirable or necessary in Lender’s judgment to complete any unfinished construction on the Premises, to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Property, to increase the income therefrom, to manage and operate the Property or to protect the security hereof, and all sums expended by Lender therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender by Borrower on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.
          (c) Collect Rents and Profits. With or without taking possession of the Property, sue or otherwise collect the Rents and Profits, including those past due and unpaid.
          (d) Appointment of Receiver. Upon, or at any time prior or after, initiating the exercise of any power of sale, instituting any judicial foreclosure or instituting any other foreclosure of the liens and security interests provided for herein or any other legal proceedings hereunder, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property, as a matter of strict right and without notice to Borrower and without regard to the adequacy of the Property for the repayment of the Debt or the solvency of Borrower or any person or persons liable for the payment of the Debt, and Borrower does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment, waive any and all notices of and defenses to such appointment and agree not to oppose any application therefor by Lender, but nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Lender of any other right, remedy or privilege Lender may now have under the law to have a receiver appointed, provided, however, that the appointment of such receiver, trustee or other appointee by virtue of any court order, statute or regulation shall not

59


 

impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Lender to receive payment of the Rents and Profits pursuant to other terms and provisions hereof. Any such receiver shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including, without limitation, the full power to hold, develop, rent, lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use of the Property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances as more fully set forth in Section 5.3 below. Such receivership shall, at the option of Lender, continue until full payment of all of the Debt or until title to the Property shall have passed by foreclosure sale under this Mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
          (e) Foreclosure. Immediately commence an action to foreclose this Mortgage or to specifically enforce its provisions with respect to any of the Debt, pursuant to the statutes in such case made and provided, and sell the Property or cause the Property to be sold in accordance with the requirements and procedures provided by said statutes in a single parcel or in several parcels at the option of Lender. In the event foreclosure proceedings are instituted by Lender, all expenses incident to such proceedings, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be paid by Borrower and secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. The Debt and all other obligations secured by this Mortgage, including, without limitation, interest at the Default Interest Rate any prepayment charge, fee or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay principal (to the extent permitted by applicable law), reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other amounts due and unpaid to Lender under the Loan Documents, may be bid by Lender in the event of a foreclosure sale hereunder. In the event of a judicial sale pursuant to a foreclosure decree, it is understood and agreed that Lender or its assigns may become the purchaser of the Property or any part thereof.
          (f) Judicial Remedies. Proceed by suit or suits, at law or in equity, instituted by or on behalf of Lender, to enforce the payment of the Debt or the other obligations of Borrower hereunder or pursuant to the Loan Documents, to foreclose the liens and security interests of this Mortgage as against all or any part of the Property, and to have all or any part of the Property sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. This remedy shall be cumulative of any other non-judicial remedies available to Lender with respect to the Loan Documents. Proceeding with the request or receiving a judgment for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an election of remedies or bar any available non-judicial remedy of Lender.
          (g) Other. Exercise any other right or remedy available hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity.
          Section 5.2 Application of Proceeds. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the proceeds of any sale under this Mortgage shall be applied, to the extent funds are so available, to the following items in such order as Lender in its discretion may determine:

60


 

receivers’ fees, court costs, attorneys’, accountants’, appraisers’, managers’ and other professional fees, title charges and transfer taxes.
          (b) To payment of all sums expended by Lender under the terms of any of the Loan Documents and not yet repaid, together with interest on such sums at the Default Interest Rate.
          (c) To payment of the Debt and all other obligations secured by this Mortgage, including, without limitation, interest at the Default Interest Rate and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any prepayment fee, charge or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay principal, in any order that Lender chooses in its sole discretion.
          (d) The remainder, if any, of such funds shall be disbursed to Borrower or to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
          Section 5.3 Right and Authority of Receiver or Lender in the Event of Default; Power of Attorney. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and entry upon the Property pursuant to Section 5.1(b) hereof or appointment of a receiver pursuant to Section 5.1(d) hereof, and under such terms and conditions as may be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances in Lender’s or the receiver’s sole discretion, all at Borrower’s expense, Lender or said receiver, or such other persons or entities as they shall hire, direct or engage, as the case may be, may do or permit one or more of the following, successively or concurrently: (a) enter upon and take possession and control of any and all of the Property; (b) take and maintain possession of all documents, books, records, papers and accounts relating to the Property; (c) exclude Borrower and its agents, servants and employees wholly from the Property; (d) manage and operate the Property; (e) preserve and maintain the Property; (f) make repairs and alterations to the Property; (g) complete any construction or repair of the Improvements, with such changes, additions or modifications of the plans and specifications or intended disposition and use of the Improvements as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable to place the Property in such condition as will, in Lender’s sole discretion, make it or any part thereof readily marketable or rentable; (h) conduct a marketing or leasing program with respect to the Property, or employ a marketing or leasing agent or agents to do so, directed to the leasing or sale of the Property under such terms and conditions as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable; (i) employ such contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects, engineers, consultants, managers, brokers, marketing agents, or other employees, agents, independent contractors or professionals, as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable to implement and effectuate the rights and powers herein granted; (j) execute and deliver, in the name of Lender as attorney-in-fact and agent of Borrower or in its own name as Lender, such documents and instruments as are necessary or appropriate to consummate authorized transactions; (k) enter such leases, whether of real or personal property, or tenancy agreements, under such terms and conditions as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable; (1) collect and receive the Rents and Profits from the Property; (m) eject tenants or repossess personal property, as provided by law, for breaches of the conditions of their leases or other agreements; (n) initiate a cause of action for unpaid Rents and Profits, payments, income or proceeds in the name of Borrower or Lender; (o) maintain actions in forcible entry and detainer, ejectment for possession and actions in distress for rent; (p) compromise or give acquittance for Rents and Profits, payments, income or proceeds that may become due; (q) delegate or assign

61


 

any and all rights and powers given to Lender by this Mortgage; and (r) do any acts which Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate or desirable to protect the security hereof and use such measures, legal or equitable, as Lender may in its sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable to implement and effectuate the provisions of this Mortgage. This Mortgage shall constitute a direction to and full authority to any lessee, or other third party who has heretofore dealt or contracted or may hereafter deal or contract with Borrower or Lender, at the request of Lender, to pay all amounts owing under any Lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement to Lender without proof of the Event of Default relied upon. Any such lessee or third party is hereby irrevocably authorized to rely upon and comply with (and shall be fully protected by Borrower in so doing) any request, notice or demand by Lender for the payment to Lender of any Rents and Profits or other sums which may be or thereafter become due under its Lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, or for the performance of any undertakings under any such Lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, and shall have no right or duty to inquire whether any Event of Default under this Mortgage or under any of the other Loan Documents has actually occurred or is then existing. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender, its assignees, successors, transferees and nominees, as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution in the Property, in Borrower’s name, place and stead, to do or permit any one or more of the foregoing described rights, remedies, powers and authorities, successively or concurrently, and said power of attorney shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding. Any money advanced by Lender in connection with any action taken under this Section 5.3, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date of making such advancement by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be a demand obligation owing by Borrower to Lender and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by every other instrument securing all or any portion of the Debt.
          Section 5.4 Occupancy After Foreclosure. In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale, Borrower or Borrower’s representatives, successors or assigns, or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Borrower (except tenants of space in the Improvements subject to leases entered into prior to the date hereof), are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, then, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each and all shall, at the option of Lender or the purchaser at such sale, as the case may be, immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will of either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the Property occupied or used, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of the Property upon the termination of such tenancy, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for unlawful detainer of the Property in the appropriate court of the county in which the Premises is located.
          Section 5.5 Notice to Account Debtors. Lender may, at any time after an Event of Default, notify the account debtors and obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness to Borrower included in the Property to pay Lender directly. Borrower shall at any time or from time to time upon the request of Lender provide to Lender a current list of all such account debtors and obligors and their addresses.

62


 

          Section 5.6 Cumulative Remedies. All remedies contained in this Mortgage are cumulative and Lender shall also have all other remedies provided at law and in equity or in any other Loan Documents. Such remedies may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently at the sole subjective direction of Lender and may be exercised in any order and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any particular provisions of this Mortgage to the exclusion of any other provision of this Mortgage or as an election of remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter be available to Lender. No delay or failure by Lender to exercise any right or remedy under this Mortgage shall be construed to be a waiver of that right or remedy or of any Event of Default. Lender may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies at its option without regard to the adequacy of its security.
          Section 5.7 Payment of Expenses. Borrower shall pay on demand all of Lender’s expenses incurred in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Mortgage, whether or not any lawsuit is filed and whether or not foreclosure is commenced but not completed, including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements, fees of any Rating Agency, fees related to any No-Downgrade Confirmation, foreclosure costs and title charges, together with interest thereon from and after the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower at the Default Interest Rate, and the same shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

64


 

waiving the Event of Default remedied. Neither the failure by Lender to exercise, nor the delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default by Borrower hereunder shall be construed as a waiver of such Event of Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or remedy at a later date.

Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any of the Debt shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way affect the existence of an Event of Default. In case Lender shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Debt, the Loan Documents, the Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if the same had never been invoked.

In the event Borrower requests Lender’s consent with respect to any proposed action or Borrower proposes to take any action not otherwise requiring Lender’s specific consent under the Loan Documents, which Lender determines, in its discretion, may affect (i) the “REMIC” status of Lender, its successors or assigns, or (ii) the status of this Mortgage as a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or any succeeding provision of such law), Lender reserves the right to require Borrower, at Borrower’s sole expense, to obtain, from counsel satisfactory to Lender in its discretion, an opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its discretion, that no adverse tax consequences will arise as a result of the proposed course of action.
          Section 6.35 Splitting the Loan. Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages, deeds of trust and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations and priorities as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion, provided, however, that the terms, provisions and clauses of the Severed Loan Documents shall be no more adverse to Borrower than those contained in the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, that Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until not less than three (3) days has passed after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.
