No payment or advance of money by Mortgagee under this Section shall be deemed or construed to cure Mortgagor’s default or waive any right or remedy of Mortgagee.

14.    Remedies.

(a)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, may immediately take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such manner as Mortgagee, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, may

determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:

(i)    Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (A) institute and maintain an action of mortgage foreclosure against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, (B) institute and maintain an action on any Credit Facility Document or Additional Debt Document, or (C) take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage or any of the Credit Facility Documents or Additional Debt Documents as the law may allow. Mortgagee may proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution thereon for all sums due hereunder, together with interest thereon as provided in the Credit Agreement and all reasonable costs of suit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Interest at the Default Rate shall be due on any judgment obtained by Mortgagee from the date of judgment until actual payment is made of the full amount of the judgment; and

(ii)    Mortgagee may, or by its agents, attorneys and employees and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as security for the Obligations enter into and upon the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees therefrom without liability for trespass, damage or otherwise (Mortgagor hereby agreeing to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee upon demand at any such time) and use, operate, manage, maintain and control the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof. Following such entry and taking of possession, Mortgagee shall be entitled, without limitation, (x) to lease all or any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property for such periods of time and upon such conditions as Mortgagee may, in its discretion, deem proper, (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any lease, and (z) generally to execute, do and perform any other act, deed, matter or thing concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate as fully as Mortgagor might do.

(b)    In case of a foreclosure sale, the Real Estate may be sold, at Mortgagee’s election, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Mortgagee is specifically empowered (without being required to do so, and in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the Mortgaged Property to be held.

(c)    In the event of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Mortgage, Mortgagee, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition and Mortgagee shall have the right to invoke any equitable right or remedy as though other remedies were not provided for in this Mortgage.

(d)    It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all proceeds of the Mortgaged Property received by the Mortgagee shall be held by the Mortgagee for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), and/or then or at any time thereafter may, in the sole

discretion of the Mortgagee, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, be applied by the Mortgagee against the Obligations then due and owing in the following order of priority:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Facility Document, any Additional Debt Document or any of the Obligations, including, without limitation, all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise by the Mortgagee of any right or remedy under this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Facility Document, or any Additional Debt Document;

SECOND, an amount equal to the outstanding Primary Obligations (as defined below) shall be paid to the Secured Parties, with each Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Primary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of the amount remaining to be distributed; and

THIRD, an amount equal to the outstanding Remaining Obligations (as defined below) shall be paid to the Secured Parties, with each Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Remaining Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Remaining Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed;

FOURTH, upon payment of all Remaining Obligations, to the Mortgagor or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

For purposes of this Mortgage:

(i)    “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Party’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Party’s Primary Obligations or Remaining Obligations, as the case may be, of the Borrower Parties and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations or Remaining Obligations, as the case may be, of the Borrower Parties;

(ii)    “Primary Obligations” shall mean all Obligations of the Borrower Parties secured hereby arising out of or in connection with, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due under (including all accrued but unpaid interest) the Credit Facility Documents and the Additional Debt Documents at the relevant time; provided, that, with respect to any such Obligations comprised of indebtedness issued with original issue discount, the amount outstanding at any time shall be the face amount of such indebtedness less the remaining unamortized portion of the original issue discount of such indebtedness at such time as determined in conformity with GAAP; and

(iii)    “Remaining Obligations” shall mean all Obligations of the Borrower Parties secured hereby other than Primary Obligations.

(e)    When payments to Secured Parties are based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, the amounts received by such Secured Parties hereunder shall be applied (for purposes of making determinations under this Section 13 only) (i) first, to the Primary Obligations of the Borrower Parties and (ii) second, to the Remaining Obligations of the Borrower Parties. If any payment to any Secured Party of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Party, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Primary Obligations or Remaining Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Secured Parties, with each Secured Party whose Primary Obligations or Remaining Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Remaining Obligations, as the case may be, of such Secured Party and the denominator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Remaining Obligations, as the case may be, of all Secured Parties entitled to such distribution.

(f)    All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (i) if to the Bank Secured Parties, to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) if to Additional Debtholders, to the Additional Debtholders or, if applicable, the relevant Additional Secured Debt Agent.

(g)    For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 13, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely upon the Secured Parties for a written determination of the outstanding Primary Obligations and Remaining Obligations owed to the Bank Secured Parties and the Additional Debtholders, respectively.

(h)    It is understood and agreed that the Mortgagor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the available proceeds of the Mortgaged Property encumbered hereunder and the aggregate amount of the Obligations of the Borrower Parties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Mortgage, (i) all actions required or permitted to be taken under this Mortgage by the Bank Secured Parties shall be so taken only by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Bank Secured Parties, as directed by the Lenders, and all actions required or permitted to be taken under this Mortgage by the Additional Debtholders shall be so taken only by the Additional Debtholders or, if applicable, the relevant Additional Secured Debt Agent on behalf of the Additional Debtholders as directed by the Additional Debtholders and (ii) all payments received by the Collateral Agent and (A) required to be made with respect to the Credit Facility Obligations shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, or (B) required to be made with respect to the Additional Debt Obligations under the Additional Debt Documents shall be paid to the Additional Debtholders or, if applicable, the relevant Additional Secured Debt Agent and the Mortgagee shall be entitled (but not required) to conclusively rely upon and act in accordance with any instructions from the Administrative Agent and the Additional Debtholders or, if applicable, any relevant Additional Secured Debt Agent subject to the terms and conditions of this Mortgage and to assume that such instructions are being given in accordance with such Credit Facility Documents and the terms of the Additional Debt Documents, respectively.

16.    Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, as a matter of right and without notice to Mortgagor, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral or the interest of Mortgagor therein as security for the Obligations, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor (except as may be required by law). Any such receiver or receivers or manager shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry as provided in this Mortgage, including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Mortgaged Property unless such receivership is sooner terminated.

17.    Extension, Release, etc.

(a)    Without affecting the lien or charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Obligations, Mortgagee may, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any person liable for the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Credit Facility Documents or the Additional Debt Documents, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Credit Facility Documents or the Additional Debt Documents or any other guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.

(b)    No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect the lien of this Mortgage or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired.

(c)    If Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage subject to the rights of any

tenants of the Mortgaged Property. The failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights, or to provide notice to such tenants as required in any statutory procedure governing a sale of the Mortgaged Property, or to terminate such tenant's rights in such sale will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Obligations or to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage.

(d)    Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that ownership of this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Mortgaged Property for the amount secured hereby.

18.    Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code.

(a)    It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located (the “Code”). Accordingly, Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee a security interest in that portion of the Mortgaged Property that constitutes personal property pursuant to the Code. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law or in equity, Mortgagee, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, shall have the option of either (i) proceeding under the Code and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply). If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then ten days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. At Mortgagee’s request, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor shall assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

(b)    Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree, to the extent permitted by law, that: (i) all of the goods described within the definition of the word “Equipment” are or are to become fixtures on the Real Estate; (ii) this Mortgage upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office shall constitute a financing statement filed as a “fixture filing” within the meaning of the Code; (iii) The Dayton Power and Light Company is the record owner of the Land; and (iv) the addresses of Mortgagor and Mortgagee are as set forth on the first page of this Mortgage.

(c)    Mortgagor agrees that this instrument, or a reproduction thereof, may be filed in the real estate records or other appropriate index as a financing statement for any of the items specified above (including fixtures) as part of the Mortgaged Property, and authorizes

Mortgagee to make any such filings Mortgagee, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, deems necessary or proper. Mortgagor’s execution of this Mortgage constitutes an authentication pursuant to the Code of the security agreement contained herein, thereby authorizing Mortgagee to file and record such financing statements, amendments and other UCC forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain the priority of its lien and security interests created under this Mortgage. Any reproduction of this instrument or of any other security agreement or financing statement (meeting the requirements of the Code) will be sufficient as a financing statement. Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver to Mortgagee upon request, any financing statements (other than financing statements such as those currently prescribed by the Code, which are not required to be executed by the debtor or secured party), as well as extensions, renewals and amendments thereof, and reproductions of this instrument in such form as may be required by law or reasonably required by Mortgagee to perfect a security interest with respect to those items. Mortgagor will pay all costs of filing such financing statements and any extensions, renewals, amendments and releases thereof, and will pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements Mortgagee may reasonably require.

19.    Assignment of Leases and Rents.

(a)    Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the Leases and Rents as further security for the payment of and performance of the Obligations, and Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of the Obligations. The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and shall continue in effect until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, but Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall have a license and be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents until the occurrence of an Event of Default, such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under this Mortgage by giving not less than ten days’ written notice of such revocation to Mortgagor; in the event such notice is given, Mortgagor shall pay over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease security deposits, and shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or to any such receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value as determined by Mortgagee for the use and occupancy of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be in the possession of Mortgagor or any affiliate of Mortgagor, and upon default in any such payment Mortgagor and any such affiliate will vacate and surrender the possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. Mortgagor has not affirmatively done any act which would prevent Mortgagee from, or limit Mortgagee in, acting under any of the provisions of the foregoing assignment.

(b)    No action has been brought or, so far as is known to Mortgagor, is threatened, which would interfere in any way with the right of Mortgagor to execute the foregoing assignment and perform all of Mortgagor’s obligations contained in this Section and in the Leases.

21.    Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.02 of the Credit Agreement to Mortgagor and to Mortgagee at their respective addresses specified in the Preamble of this Mortgage.

1.    Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Mortgage and any consent to any departure by the Mortgagor from any provision of this Mortgage shall be effective only if made or given in compliance with all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Facility Documents and the Additional Debt Documents necessary for amendments or waivers of, or consents to any departure by the Mortgagor from any provision of the Credit Facility Documents or any Additional Debt Document, as the case may be, and only if such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing duly signed by the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee (with the written consent of the Majority Holders, unless such consent would not be required under the Credit Facility Documents); provided, however, that any change, waiver, modification or variance materially adversely affecting the rights and benefits of a single Class (as defined below) of Secured Parties (and not all Secured Parties in a like or similar manner) shall also require the written consent of the Requisite Holders (as defined below) of such affected Class; provided, further, that any Class shall not be considered to be affected differently from any other Class due to the Obligations of any such other Class being paid, repaid, refinanced, renewed or extended and the Collateral being released, in whole or in part (whether by action of such other Class or otherwise), as security for a particular Class. For the purpose of this Mortgage, the term “Class” shall mean, at any time, each class of Secured Parties with outstanding Obligations secured hereby at such time, i.e., (x) the Bank Secured Parties and (y) any other class of Additional Secured Debt secured hereby; provided that, without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that other creditors may be added as “Secured Parties” hereunder (either as part of an existing Class of creditors or as a newly created Class), and that such addition shall not require the written consent of the Requisites Holders of the various Classes. For the purpose of this Mortgage, the term “Requisite Holders” of any Class shall mean each of (i) with respect to the Credit Agreement, the Required Lenders (as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) with respect to any other class of Additional Secured Debt, the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of such class of Additional Secured Debt outstanding from time to time. Any agreement made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the

date of this Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.

Failure of the Mortgagee or any Secured Party to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall not operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Mortgagee or the Secured Parties would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

4.    Remedies Not Exclusive. Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any of the other Credit Facility Documents, Additional Debt Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee’s rights to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Credit Facility Documents and the Additional Debt Documents to Mortgagee or to which Mortgagee may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee, as the case may be. In no event shall Mortgagee, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Leases and Rents to Mortgagee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property), be deemed a “mortgagee in possession,” and Mortgagee shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

5.    Multiple Security. If (a) the Real Estate shall consist of one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall now or hereafter hold or be the beneficiary of one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other security (directly or indirectly) for the Obligations upon other property in the State in which the Premises are located (whether or not such property is owned by Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the Obligations (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or consolidated in the courts of, or sale conducted in, any county in which any of such collateral is located. Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated foreclosure action is a specific inducement to the Bank Secured Parties and any Additional Debtholders to extend the indebtedness borrowed pursuant to or guaranteed by the Credit Facility Documents and/or Additional Debt Documents, as applicable, and Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Mortgagor further agrees that if Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, or if Mortgagee shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral, then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were obtained in or outside the State in which the Premises are located, Mortgagee may commence or continue any foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage, nor the exercise of any other rights hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee in any such proceedings or the occurrence of any sale in any such proceedings shall prejudice, limit or preclude Mortgagee’s right to commence or continue one or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other collateral (either in or outside the State in which the Premises are located) which directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, and Mortgagor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other sales or proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such sales or proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and Mortgagor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either such other sales or proceedings or any sale or action under this Mortgage on such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Obligations (directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner.

6.    Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Mortgagee, the Bank Secured Parties and the Additional Debtholders, and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, at any time if in its sole discretion it deems such a waiver advisable. All such covenants of Mortgagor shall run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor (and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns.

7.    No Waivers, etc. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor. Mortgagee, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any subordinate lien or mortgage.

8.    Governing Law, etc. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Premises are located, except that Mortgagor expressly acknowledges that by their respective terms the other Credit Facility Documents shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and for purposes of consistency, Mortgagor agrees that in any in personam proceeding related to this Mortgage the rights of the parties to this Mortgage shall also be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York governing contracts made and to be performed in that State.

9.    Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Mortgagor” shall mean “each Mortgagor or any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein,” the word “Mortgagee” shall mean “Mortgagee or any successor Collateral Agent,” the word “person” shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority, or other entity, and the words “Mortgaged Property” shall include any portion of the Mortgaged Property or interest therein. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa. The captions in this Mortgage are for convenience or reference only and in no way limit or amplify the provisions hereof.

10.    Release. If any of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Mortgagor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Facility Documents and any Additional Debt Documents, then the Mortgagee, acting at the direction of the Majority Holders, at the request and sole expense of such Mortgagor, shall execute and deliver to such Mortgagor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Mortgaged Property.

11.    Conflict With Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Mortgage and the terms and provisions of the Credit Facility Documents or any Additional Debt Documents, the terms and provisions of the Credit Facility Documents and any Additional Debt Documents, shall govern, other than with respect to the section of this Mortgage captioned “Governing Law, etc.”.

32.    Additional Secured Debt. Any Additional Secured Debt issued after the date hereof shall be secured equally and ratably with the Credit Facility Obligations, and, in connection with such Additional Secured Debt, (i) the lien of this instrument shall be confirmed pursuant to a duly executed, acknowledged and recorded Mortgage Supplement substantially in the form of Annex A hereto (the “Mortgage Supplement”) and (ii) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee an ALTA 11-06 modification endorsement to the Title Policy, dated as of the date of recording of such Mortgage Supplement, insuring the priority of the lien of this Mortgage over defects in or liens or encumbrances on title, except for those shown in the Title Policy and other Permitted Liens.

33.    Leasehold Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and in addition to any rights, privileges and remedies granted to the Mortgagee elsewhere in this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall have, and the Mortgagor hereby grants to the Mortgagee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, any and all rights, privileges and remedies related to the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease (including without limitation, any renewal rights and options to purchase contained in the Ground Lease) without the necessity of particularly specifying any or all of such rights, privileges and remedies that are or could be granted to leasehold mortgagees pursuant to the Ground Lease.

(a)    The Ground Lease is a valid and subsisting lease for the term therein set forth, is in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof, has not been modified except as expressly set forth herein and Mortgagor is the holder of lessee’s interest thereunder. No material default exists, and to the best knowledge of Mortgagor, no event or act has occurred and no condition exists which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default under the Ground Lease.

(b)    This Mortgage is lawfully executed and delivered in conformity with the Ground Lease and any and all consents required under the Ground Lease have been timely received and are effective.

(c)    The Mortgagor will pay when due the rents, taxes and other sums and charges mentioned in and made payable by the Mortgagor under the Ground Lease.

(d)    The Mortgagor will promptly perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by it under the Ground Lease, within the periods (including any grace or cure periods) provided therein, and will do all things reasonably necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its rights under the Ground Lease. In the event of the failure of Mortgagor to make any payment required to be made by the Mortgagor pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease or to observe, abide by, discharge or perform, or cause to be observed, kept, discharged or performed, any of the terms, obligations, covenants, conditions, agreements, indemnities, representations, warranties or liabilities of the Ground Lease in each case within the periods (including any grace or cure periods) provided therein, the Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably appoint and constitute the Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney in fact, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, in its name, place and stead, to take any and all actions deemed necessary or desirable by the Mortgagee to perform and comply with all of the obligations of the Mortgagor under the Ground Lease; to do and take, but without any obligation so to do, any action which the Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any default by the Mortgagor under the Ground Lease; to enter into and upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof to such extent and as often as the Mortgagee, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or desirable in order to prevent or cure any default of the Mortgagor pursuant thereto; to the end that the rights of the Mortgagor in and to the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free from default, and all sums so expended by the Mortgagee, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of each such expenditure, shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee promptly upon demand by the Mortgagee and shall be added to the indebtedness secured hereby. The Mortgagor shall, within five (5) days after written request by the Mortgagee, execute and deliver to the Mortgagee, or to any person designated by the Mortgagee, such further instruments, agreements, powers, assignments, conveyances or the like as may be reasonably necessary to complete or perfect the interest, rights or powers of the Mortgagee pursuant hereto.

(e)    The Mortgagor will promptly (i) notify the Mortgagee in writing of the receipt by it of any notice of default from the lessor under the Ground Lease; (ii) notify the Mortgagee in writing of the receipt by it of any notice under the Ground Lease of the termination of the Ground Lease; (iii) cause a copy of each such notice received by the Mortgagor from the lessor under the Ground Lease to be delivered to the Mortgagee; and (iv) cause a copy of any notice of election or the exercise of any rights of option, purchase or renewal under the Ground Lease sent by the Mortgagor to the lessor under Ground Lease, to be delivered to the Mortgagee.

(f)    The Mortgagor will not terminate or surrender or suffer or permit any termination or surrender of the Ground Lease, nor modify the Ground Lease in any material respect, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.

(g)    The Mortgagor will, within twenty (20) days after written demand from the Mortgagee, obtain from the lessor under the Ground Lease and deliver to the Mortgagee an estoppel certificate that complies with the requirements set forth in the Ground Lease.

(h)    The Mortgagor will furnish to the Mortgagee upon reasonable request, proof of payment of all items which are required to be paid by the Mortgagor pursuant to the Ground Lease and a statement of any such payments which the Mortgagor is contesting or arbitrating pursuant to the terms of the Ground Lease.

(i)    The Mortgagor will not consent to the subordination of the Ground Lease to any lien on the fee estate of the lessor under the Ground Lease, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.

(j)    Except to the extent permitted by the Credit Facility Documents, to the extent that Mortgagor has or may acquire any rights or options to renew or extend the term of the Ground Lease, or to purchase any right, title or interest in or to all or any portion of the Land covered by the Ground Lease, Mortgagor shall exercise any or all of such rights or options as may be required to preserve the leasehold estate and purchase options through the Maturity Date. The Mortgagor shall give the Mortgagee simultaneous written notice of the exercise of any such option or right to renew or extend, together with a copy of the instrument given to the lessor under the Ground Lease exercising such option or right, and thereafter, shall promptly deliver to the Mortgagee a copy of any acknowledgment by the lessor with respect to the exercise of such option or right.

(k)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all options, elections, consents and approval rights conferred upon Mortgagor as lessee under the Ground Lease, together with the right of termination, cancelation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease, all of which have been assigned for collateral purposes to Mortgagee, shall automatically vest exclusively in and be exercisable solely by Mortgagee.

(l)    So long as this Mortgage is in effect, there shall be no merger of the Ground Lease or any interest therein, or of the leasehold estate created thereby, with the fee estate in the Land or any portion thereof by reason of the fact that the Ground Lease or such interest therein may be held directly or indirectly by or for the account of any person who shall hold the lessor’s fee estate in the Land or any portion thereof or any interest of the lessor under the Ground Lease. In case the Mortgagor acquires fee title to the Land, this Mortgage shall attach to and cover and be a lien upon the fee title acquired, and such fee title shall, without further assignment, mortgage or conveyance, become and be subject to the lien of and covered by this Mortgage, and the lien of this Mortgage shall be prior to the lien of any mortgage placed on the acquired fee estate after the date of this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee of any such acquisition and, on written request by Mortgagee, shall cause to be executed and recorded all such other and further assurances or other instruments in writing as may in the reasonable opinion of Mortgagee be necessary or appropriate to effect the intent and meaning hereof and shall deliver to Mortgagee an endorsement to Mortgagee’s loan title insurance policy insuring that such fee title or other estate is subject to the lien of this Mortgage.

(m)    If the Ground Lease shall be terminated prior to the natural expiration of its terms, and if, pursuant to any provision of the Ground Lease or otherwise, Mortgagee or its designee shall acquire from the lessor under such Ground Lease a new lease of the Land or any part thereof, Mortgagor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, or renewal privileges therein contained.

(n)    Bankruptcy Provisions.

(i)        The lien of this Mortgage shall attach to all of Mortgagor’s rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including all of Mortgagor’s rights to remain in possession of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated under Section 365(h)(1)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such election made without Mortgagee’s consent shall be void.

(ii)     Mortgagor hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor’s claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection of the Ground Lease by the lessor or any other fee owner of any leasehold parcel or any portion thereof under the Bankruptcy Code. Mortgagee shall have the right, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if Mortgagor fails to do so at least five (5) Business Days prior to the last day on which Mortgagor has the right to do so, to proceed in its own name or in the name of Mortgagor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Ground Lease by the lessor or any other party, including the right to file and prosecute under the Bankruptcy Code, without joining or the joinder of Mortgagor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents. Any amounts received by Mortgagee as damages arising out of the rejection of the Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be applied in accordance with Section 13 hereof. Mortgagor acknowledges that the assignment of all claims and rights to the payment of damages from the rejection of the Ground Lease made under this Mortgage constitutes a present irreversible and unconditional assignment and Mortgagor shall, at the request of Mortgagee, promptly deliver, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, a UCC Financing Statement in connection with such assignment, and Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee to file such UCC Financing Statement and any amendments or modifications thereto. Mortgagor shall, at the request of Mortgagee, make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, all such additional instruments, agreements and other documents, as may at any time hereafter be reasonably required by Mortgagee to carry out such assignment.

(iii)    If pursuant to Section 365(h)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, Mortgagor shall seek to offset against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the lessor or any other party of any of their respective obligations under such Ground Lease after the rejection by the lessor or such other party of such Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, then Mortgagor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Mortgagee of its intent to do so, setting forth the amount proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. In such event, Mortgagee shall have the right to object to all or any part of such offset that, in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, would constitute a breach of such Ground Lease, and in the event of such objection, Mortgagor shall not effect any offset of the amounts found objectionable by Mortgagee. Neither Mortgagee’s failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Mortgagee.

(iv)    Mortgagor shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify Mortgagee of any filing by or against the lessor or other party with an interest in the Mortgaged Property of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee, following receipt, copies of any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Mortgagor in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.

(v)      If there shall be filed by or against Mortgagor a petition under the Bankruptcy Code and Mortgagor, as lessee under the Ground Lease, shall determine to reject the Ground Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee not less than twenty (20) days’ prior notice of the date on which Mortgagor shall apply to the Bankruptcy Court for authority to reject the Ground Lease. Mortgagor shall not reject the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.

34.    Additional Provisions. The following provisions shall govern and control in the event of a conflict with any other provision of this Mortgage:

(a)    Obligatory Advances; O.R.C. 1311.14. This Mortgage secures, among other obligations, unpaid balances of obligatory loan advances to be made by Mortgagee and/or the other Secured Parties to Borrower pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement obligates Mortgagee and/or the other Secured Parties to advance to Borrower certain sums under definite and certain conditions, in a particular manner and at the times set forth therein. Mortgagee is authorized and empowered to do all things provided to be done by a mortgagee under Section 1311.14 of the Ohio Revised Code and any amendments or supplements thereto. This Mortgage is made pursuant to Section 5301.232 and Chapter 1309, including Section 1309.334, of the Ohio Revised Code.

(b)    Future Advances. The parties hereto intend and agree that this Mortgage shall secure, among other obligations, unpaid balances of any loan advances, whether obligatory or not, and whether made pursuant to the Credit Facility Documents or the Additional Debt Documents or not, made by Mortgagee and/or the other Secured Parties after this Mortgage is delivered to the applicable county recorder for record, to the extent that the total unpaid loan indebtedness, exclusive of interest thereon, does not exceed the maximum amount of unpaid loan indebtedness which may be outstanding at any time, which is Five Hundred Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($525,000,000.00).
