ARTICLE ONE COVENANTS OF MORTGAGOR Mortgagor covenants and agrees with Collateral Agent and Holders, or any successor in title as holder of the Obligations secured hereby, as follows: -4- 1.01 General Representations, Covenants and Warranties. Mortgagor represents, warrants and covenants that (a) Mortgagor is seized of a good and valid leasehold estate in and to the Premises, and has good right, full power and lawful authority to encumber the same as provided herein and Collateral Agent may, subject to the provisions of the Mortgaged Lease, at all times peaceably and quietly enter upon, hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises in accordance with the terms hereof; (b) the Property is free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and encumbrances whatsoever except to the extent permitted by clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (8), (15) and (16) of the definition of Permitted Liens, as defined in the Indenture, and except for any liens, security interests, charges and encumbrances created or arising by, through or under the landlord under the Mortgaged Lease or its predecessors-in-title, (c) Mortgagor will maintain and preserve the lien of this Mortgage until the Obligations secured hereby have been paid in full; (d) the Premises has frontage on, and direct access of ingress, egress, and regress to, public rights of way, and (e) electric, gas, sewer, water facilities and any other necessary utilities are, and at all times hereafter shall be, available in sufficient capacity to service the Premises satisfactorily for its current use, and any easements necessary to the furnishing of such utility service to Mortgagor have been obtained. 1.02 Compliance with Laws. To the extent Mortgagor is required to so comply under the Mortgage Lease, Mortgagor covenants and warrants that the Premises presently complies in all material respects with and will continue to comply in all material respects with all applicable restrictive covenants, applicable zoning and subdivision ordinances and building codes, all applicable health and environmental laws and regulations and other applicable laws, rules and regulations which affect the Premises and the operations of Mortgagor on the Premises. If Mortgagor receives notice from any federal, state or other governmental body that it is not in compliance with any such covenant, ordinance, code, law or regulation, Mortgagor will provide Collateral Agent with a copy of such notice and comply or cause the landlord under the Mortgaged Lease to comply with the provisions of such notice promptly if failure to comply could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Premises or the use, operation or value thereof, or on Mortgagor. 1.03 Taxes and Other Charges. (a) Taxes and Assessments. To the extent required under Section 4.04 of the Indenture or under the Mortgaged Lease, Mortgagor shall pay promptly when due all taxes, assessments, rates, dues, charges, fees, levies, fines, impositions, liabilities, obligations and encumbrances of every kind whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied or assessed upon or against the Premises or any part thereof, or upon or against this Mortgage or the Obligations secured hereby, or upon or against the security interest of Collateral Agent in the Premises, as well as all income taxes, assessments and other governmental charges levied and imposed by the United States of America or any state, county, municipality or other taxing authority upon or against Mortgagor or in respect of the Premises or any part thereof. (b) Mechanic's and Other Liens. Except to the extent permitted by clause (2) of the definition of Permitted Liens, as defined in the Indenture, Mortgagor shall not permit or suffer any mechanic's, laborer's, materialman's, statutory or other lien (other than any lien for taxes not yet due) to be created upon or filed against the Property. -5- (c) Taxes Affecting Holders' Interest. Mortgagor will promptly pay all income, franchise and other taxes owing by Mortgagor and any stamp, documentary, recordation and transfer taxes or other taxes (unless such payment by Mortgagor is prohibited by law) which may be required to be paid with respect to this Mortgage or any instrument evidencing or securing any of the Obligations. In the event of the enactment after this date of any law of any governmental entity applicable to Collateral Agent, the Obligations, the Property or this Mortgage imposing upon Collateral Agent the payment of the whole or any part of the taxes or assessments or charges or liens herein required to be paid by Mortgagor, or changing in any way the laws relating to the taxation of deeds of trust or mortgages or security agreements or debts secured by deeds of trust or mortgages or security agreements or the interest of the mortgagee or secured party in the property covered thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, so as to affect this Mortgage or the Obligations or Collateral Agent, then, and in any such event, Mortgagor, upon demand by Collateral Agent, shall pay such taxes, assessments, charges or liens, or reimburse Collateral Agent therefor. (d) Tax Escrow. In order to secure the performance and discharge of Mortgagor's obligations under this Section 1.03, but not in lieu of such obligations, and to the extent Mortgagor is not required to pay such sums to the landlord under the Mortgaged Lease, Mortgagor, upon Collateral Agent's request after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, will pay over to Collateral Agent an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the next maturing annual ad valorem taxes, assessments and charges (which taxes, assessments and charges, for purposes of this paragraph, shall include without limitation water and sewer rents, and shall hereinafter be collectively called "Taxes") of the nature described in Section 1.03(a) for each month that has elapsed since the last date to which the Taxes were paid; and Mortgagor will, in addition, upon Collateral Agent's request, pay over to Collateral Agent together with each installment of the Obligations sufficient funds (as estimated from time to time by Collateral Agent in its sole discretion) to permit Collateral Agent to pay when due the Taxes. Upon Collateral Agent's request, Mortgagor shall also deliver to Collateral Agent such additional monies as are required to make up any deficiencies in the amounts necessary to enable Collateral Agent to pay the Taxes. In such case, Collateral Agent must timely pay the Taxes or return the additional monies to Mortgagor to allow Mortgagor to pay such Taxes. Such deposits shall not be, nor be deemed to be, trust funds but may be commingled with the general funds of Collateral Agent, and no interest shall be payable in respect thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may apply to the reduction of the Obligations secured hereby, in such manner as Collateral Agent shall determine, any amount under this Section 1.03(d) remaining to Mortgagor's credit. (e) No Credit Against the Obligations Secured Hereby. Neither Borrower nor Mortgagor shall claim, demand or be entitled to receive any credit, against the principal or interest payable on the Obligations for so much of the Taxes assessed against the Property of any part thereof or that are applicable to the Obligations secured hereby or to Collateral Agent's interest in the Property. No deduction shall be claimed from the taxable value of the Property or any part thereof by reason of the Obligations, this Mortgage or any other instrument securing the Obligations. -6- 1.04 Insurance. (a) Mortgagor shall, at its sole expense, keep the Premises insured in such amounts and against such risks and damages as is required under Section 4.05 of the Indenture. All policies of insurance shall contain an endorsement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent, showing loss payable to Collateral Agent as its interests appear. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument delivered to Collateral Agent, shall provide that the insurance companies will give Collateral Agent at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance shall be altered in any way that may affect Collateral Agent's rights thereunder or cancelled and that no act of default of Mortgagor or any other person shall affect the right of Collateral Agent to recover under such policy or policies or insurance in case of loss or damage (10 days in the case of cancellation for non-payment of premium). (b) In order to secure the performance and discharge of Mortgagor's obligations under this Section 1.04(b), but not in lieu of such obligations, and to the extent Mortgagor is not required to pay such sums to the landlord under the Mortgaged Lease, Mortgagor, upon Collateral Agent's request after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, will pay over to Collateral Agent an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the next maturing annual insurance premiums for each month that has elapsed since the last date to which such premiums were paid; and Mortgagor will, in addition, upon Collateral Agent's request, pay over to Collateral Agent together with each installment on the Obligations sufficient funds (as estimated from time to time by Collateral Agent in its sole discretion) to permit Collateral Agent to pay said premiums when due. Such deposits shall not be, nor be deemed to be, trust funds but may be commingled with the general funds of Collateral Agent, and no interest shall be payable in respect thereof. Upon Collateral Agent's request, Mortgagor shall also deliver to Collateral Agent such additional monies as are necessary to make up any deficiencies in the amounts necessary to enable Collateral Agent to pay such premiums when due. In such case, Collateral Agent must timely pay the premiums or return the additional monies to Mortgagor to allow Mortgagor to pay the premiums. (c) Pursuant to its rights granted hereunder in all proceeds from any insurance policies, Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and empowered at its option to adjust or compromise any loss under any insurance policies on the Premises and to collect and receive the proceeds from any such policy or policies. Each insurance company is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for all such losses directly to Collateral Agent alone and not to Mortgagor and Collateral Agent jointly. After deducting from such insurance proceeds any expenses incurred by Collateral Agent and the other Holders in the collection or handling of such funds, the net proceeds received by Collateral Agent shall apply such amounts as requested by Mortgagor for the restoration. In no event, however, shall any advance be made which will result in the funds remaining with Collateral Agent being less than the cost of completion of restoration of the Premises as estimated by an architect or engineer reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent. If, upon completion of restoration of the Premises there remain funds with Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent shall pay the remaining funds. Any funds applied against the Obligations secured hereby shall be applied to particular Obligations, whether then matured or to mature in the future, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Although Collateral Agent intends to use its best efforts to collect such payments in a timely fashion, Collateral Agent shall -7- not be responsible for any failure to collect any insurance proceeds due under the terms of any policy regardless of the cause of such failure. The provisions of this Section 1.04 are subject to any provisions of the Mortgaged Lease pertaining to the maintenance, collection, use and application of insurance proceeds. (d) Non-Impairment of Collateral Agent's Rights. Nothing contained in either of Sections 1.03(d) and 1.04(b) shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Collateral Agent under any provision of this Mortgage or of any statute or rule of law to pay any amount required to be paid by Sections 1.03(d) and 1.04(b) and to add the amount so paid to the Obligations hereby secured. Although Collateral Agent intends to use its best efforts to make such payments in a timely fashion, the arrangements provided in Sections 1.03(d) and 1.04(b) are solely for the added protection of Collateral Agent and the other Holders and entail no responsibility on Collateral Agent's or Holders' part beyond the allowing of due credit, without interest, for sums actually received by it. Upon assignment of this Mortgage, any funds on hand shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Collateral Agent with respect thereto shall terminate. 1.05 Condemnation. Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds of, or on account of, any damage or taking through condemnation and is hereby authorized, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute in its own or Mortgagor's name any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation and to settle or compromise any claim in connection therewith. All such compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds, and any other payments or relief, and the right thereto, are included in the Property and Collateral Agent and the other Holders, after deducting therefrom all of their expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in the collection or handling of such funds, shall apply such amounts as requested by Mortgagor for the restoration of the Premises. In no event, however, shall any advance be made which will result in the funds remaining with Collateral Agent being less than the cost of completion of restoration of the Premises as estimated by an architect or engineer reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent. If, upon completion of restoration of the Premises there remain funds with Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent shall pay the remaining funds to Mortgagor. Mortgagor agrees to execute such further assignments of any compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds as Collateral Agent may reasonably require. Notwithstanding any such condemnation, Mortgagor shall continue to pay interest, computed at the rate provided in the Notes, on the entire unpaid principal amount thereof. The provisions of this Section 1.05 are subject to any provisions of the Mortgaged Lease pertaining to the collection, use and application of any compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds insurance proceeds. 1.06 Care of Property. (a) Mortgagor shall preserve and maintain the Property in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Mortgagor shall not permit, commit or suffer any material waste, impairment or deterioration of the Property or of any part thereof, and will not take any action which will materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Property or to any part thereof. -8- (b) Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent, (i) remove from the Premises any fixtures or personal property covered by this Mortgage which materially impairs the value of the Property or (ii) make any structural alteration to the Premises or any other alteration thereto which materially impairs the value thereof. (c) Collateral Agent may enter upon and inspect the Premises at any reasonable time during the life of this Mortgage and upon reasonable prior notice. 1.07 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon Collateral Agent's reasonable request, Mortgagor shall make, execute and deliver, or cause to be made, executed and delivered, to Collateral Agent and where appropriate shall cause to be recorded or filed, and from time to time thereafter to be re-recorded and refiled at such time and in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by Collateral Agent, any and all such further deeds of trust, instruments or further assurance, certificates and other documents as Collateral Agent may consider necessary or desirable in order to effectuate, complete, or perfect, or to continue and preserve the respective obligations of Borrower and Mortgagor under the Notes, the Indenture Documents and this Mortgage, and the lien of this Mortgage as a lien upon all of the Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Mortgagor. Upon any failure by Mortgagor to do so, Collateral Agent may make, execute, record, file, re-record or refile any and all such deeds of trust, instruments, certificates and documents for and in the name of Mortgagor, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor to do so. 1.08 Security Agreements and Financing Statements. (a) Mortgagor (as debtor) hereby grants to Collateral Agent and Holders (as creditor and secured party) a security interest in all fixtures, machinery, appliances, equipment, furniture and personal property of every nature whatsoever constituting part of the Property. (b) Mortgagor shall execute any and all such documents, including without limitation, financing statements pursuant to the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, as Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to preserve and maintain the priority of the lien created hereby on property which may be deemed personal property or fixtures, and shall pay to Collateral Agent on demand any expenses incurred by Collateral Agent and Holders in connection with the preparation, execution and filing of any such documents. This Mortgage shall also constitute a "fixture filing" for purposes of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. Mortgagor hereby authorizes and empowers Collateral Agent to execute and file, on Mortgagor's behalf, all financing statements and refilings and continuations thereof as Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary or advisable to create, preserve and protect said lien. This Mortgage shall be deemed a security agreement as defined in said Uniform Commercial Code and the remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the agreements herein contained shall be (i) as prescribed herein, (ii) by general law, or (iii) as to such part of the security which is also reflected in said financing statement by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted and specified in the Uniform Commercial Code, all at Collateral Agent's sole election. (c) Mortgagor and Collateral Agent agree that the filing of a financing statement in the records normally having to do with personal property shall never be construed as in any way -9- derogating from or impairing the express declaration and intention of the parties hereto, hereinabove stated, that everything used in connection with the production of income from the Property and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Mortgage is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable, shall be regarded as part of the real estate encumbered by this Mortgage irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain equipment items capable of being thus identified in a recital contained herein or in any list filed with Collateral Agent, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement of (1) rights in or to the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy, or (2) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (3) Mortgagor's interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the Property, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall never be construed as in any way altering any of the rights of Collateral Agent as determined by this instrument or impugning the priority of the lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document, but such mention in the financing statement is declared to be for the protection of Holders in the event any court or judge shall at any time hold with respect to (1), (2) and (3) that notice of the priority of the interest of Collateral Agent and the other Holders to be effective against a particular class of persons, including but not limited to the federal government and any subdivisions or entity of the federal government, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records. 1.09 Assignment of Rents. The assignment contained in paragraph (E) of this Mortgage shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of either party and specifically Collateral Agent shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, to all rents, income and other benefits from the Premises whether or not Collateral Agent or Holders take possession of such property. Mortgagor hereby further grants to Collateral Agent the right after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (i) to enter upon and take possession of the Premises for the purpose of collecting the said rents, income and other benefits, (ii) to dispossess by the usual summary ejectment proceedings any tenant, (iii) to let the Premises or any part thereof, and (iv) to apply said rents, income and other benefits, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account of the Obligations secured hereby. Such assignment and grant shall continue in effect until the Obligations secured hereby are paid, the execution of this Mortgage constituting and evidencing the irrevocable consent of Mortgagor to the entry upon and taking possession of the Premises by Collateral Agent pursuant to such grant, whether or not foreclosure has been instituted. Neither the exercise of any rights under this paragraph by Collateral Agent nor the application of any such rents, income or other benefits to the Obligations secured hereby, shall cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant hereto or to any such notice, but shall be cumulative of all other rights and remedies. Neither this assignment nor the receipt of rents, income and other benefits by Collateral Agent shall effect a pro tanto payment of the indebtedness evidenced by or arising under the obligations, and such rents shall be applied as provided in Section 3.10 hereof. 1.10 After-Acquired Property. To the extent permitted by and subject to applicable law, the lien of this Mortgage will automatically attach, without further act, to all after-acquired property located in or on, or attached to the Property or any part thereof. -10- 1.11 Subleases Affecting Encumbered Property. Mortgagor represents that Mortgagor has delivered to Collateral Agent true, correct and complete copies of all subleases of any portion of the Premises, that all such subleases are presently in effect and that no default by Mortgagor exists in such subleases. As any such sublease shall expire or terminate or as any new sublease shall be made, Mortgagor shall so notify Collateral Agent in order that at all times Collateral Agent shall have a current list of all subleases affecting the Premises. The assignment contained in paragraph (F) of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to impose upon Collateral Agent any of the obligations or duties of Mortgagor provided in any such sublease (including, without limitation, any liability under the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in any sublease in the event that any tenant shall have been joined as a party defendant in any action to foreclose this Mortgage and shall have been barred and foreclosed thereby of all right, title and interest and equity of redemption in the Property or any part thereof), and Mortgagor shall comply with and observe its obligations in all material respects as landlord under all subleases affecting the Property or any part thereof. Mortgagor, if required by Collateral Agent, shall furnish promptly to Collateral Agent original or certified copies of all such subleases now existing or hereafter created. Mortgagor shall not, without the express prior written consent of Collateral Agent, enter into any sublease affecting the Property, or amend, modify, extend, terminate or cancel, accept the surrender of, subordinate, accelerate the payment of rent as to, or change the terms of any renewal option of any such sublease now existing or hereafter created, or permit or suffer an assignment or sublease. Mortgagor shall not accept payment of rent more than one (1) month in advance without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent. With respect to the assignment contained in paragraph (F) of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall, from time to time upon request of Collateral Agent, specifically assign to Collateral Agent as additional security hereunder, by an instrument in writing in such form as may be approved by Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any and all subleases now or hereafter on or affecting the Property, together with all security therefor and all monies payable thereunder, subject to the conditional permission hereinabove given to Mortgagor to collect the rentals under any such sublease. Mortgagor shall also execute and deliver to Collateral Agent any notification, financing statement or other document reasonably required by Collateral Agent to perfect the foregoing assignment as to any such sublease. The provisions of this Section 1.12 shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph (E). 1.12 Collateral Agent's Performance of Defaults. If Mortgagor defaults in the payment of any tax, assessment, encumbrance or other imposition, in its obligation to furnish insurance hereunder, or in the performance or observance of any other covenant, condition or term in this Mortgage, the Indenture Documents or the Notes, Collateral Agent may, to preserve its interest in the Property, perform or observe the same, and all payments made (whether such payments are regular or accelerated payments) and costs and expenses incurred or paid by Collateral Agent in connection therewith shall become due and payable immediately. The amounts so incurred or paid by Collateral Agent together with interest thereon at the rate per annum specified in Section 2.13 of the Indenture from the date incurred until paid by Mortgagor, shall be added to the Obligations and secured by the lien of this Mortgage. Collateral Agent is hereby empowered to enter and authorize others to enter upon the Premises or any part thereof for the purposes of performing or observing any such defaulted covenant, condition or term, without thereby becoming liable to Mortgagor or any person in possession holding under Mortgagor. -11- 1.13 Use of Property. Mortgagor covenants that the Property will be used for the purposes set forth in the Mortgaged Lease. 1.14 Required Notices. Mortgagor shall notify Collateral Agent promptly of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) receipt of any material notice from any governmental authority relating to the Property; (ii) receipt of any material notice from any tenant leasing all or any portion of the Premises; (iii) any material change in the occupancy of the Premises; (iv) receipt of any material notice from the holder of any lien or security interest in the Property; or (v) commencement of any judicial or administrative proceedings by or against or otherwise affecting the Property. 1.15 Covenants Regarding Mortgaged Lease. (a) Mortgagor hereby warrants and represents as follows: (i) the Mortgaged Lease is in full force and effect, and, except as disclosed in writing to Collateral Agent, unmodified by any writing or otherwise; (ii) all rent and other charges and impositions reserved therein have been paid to the extent they are payable to the date hereof; (iii) Mortgagor enjoys the quiet and peaceful possession of the Premises demised thereby; (iv) Mortgagor is not in default under any of the terms thereof, there are no circumstances which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default thereunder; and (v) the landlord under the Mortgaged Lease is not in default under any of the terms or provisions thereof on the part of the landlord to be observed or performed. (b) Further, with respect to the Mortgaged Lease, Mortgagor covenants and agrees as follows: (i) to promptly and faithfully observe, perform and comply with all of the material terms, covenants and provisions thereof on its part to be observed, performed and complied with, at all times set forth therein; (ii) not to do, permit, suffer or refrain from doing anything, as a result of which, there would be a default under or a breach of any of the terms thereof; (iii) not to cancel, surrender, modify, amend or in any way alter or permit the alteration of any of the material terms of the Mortgaged Lease; (iv) to give Collateral Agent immediate notice of any default by anyone thereunder and to promptly deliver to Collateral Agent a copy of each notice of default received or delivered by Mortgagor in connection therewith; (v) to furnish to Collateral Agent copies of such information and evidence as Collateral Agent may reasonably require concerning Mortgagor's due observance, performance and compliance with the terms, covenants and provisions thereof; and (vi) that any default of Mortgagor under the Mortgaged Lease shall constitute an additional Event of Default under this Mortgage. (c) In the event of any default by Mortgagor in the performance of any of its obligations under the Mortgaged Lease, including, without limitation, any default in the payment of rent and other charges and impositions made payable by the lessee thereunder, then, in each and every case, Collateral Agent may, at its option and without notice, cause the default or defaults to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all of the rights of Mortgagor therein in the name of and on behalf of Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall, on demand, reimburse Collateral Agent, as applicable, for all advances made and expenses incurred by Collateral Agent in curing any such default (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees). -12- (e) It is hereby agreed that the fee title and the leasehold estate in the property demised by the Mortgaged Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates in Mortgagor or a third party whether by purchase or otherwise. If Mortgagor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the property demised by the Mortgaged Lease, or any part thereof, the lien of the Mortgage shall attach to, cover and be a lien upon such acquired estate, title or interest and the same shall thereupon be and become a part of the Mortgaged Property with the same force and effect as if specifically encumbered therein. Mortgagor agrees to execute all instruments and documents which Collateral Agent may reasonably require to ratify, confirm and further evidence Collateral Agent's lien on the acquired estate, title or interest. Furthermore, Mortgagor hereby appoints Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver all such instruments and documents in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor. (f) If the Mortgaged Lease is cancelled or terminated, and if Collateral Agent or a nominee of Collateral Agent shall enter into any new lease of the property demised thereby, Mortgagor shall have no right, title or interest in or to the new lease or the leasehold estate created by such new lease. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Mortgage shall not constitute an assignment of the Mortgaged Lease within the meaning of any provisions thereof prohibiting their assignment, and Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have no liability or obligation thereunder by reason of its acceptance of this Mortgage. Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be liable for the obligations of the lessee arising under the Mortgaged Lease for only that period of time which Collateral Agent is in possession of the Mortgaged Property or has acquired, by foreclosure or otherwise, and is holding all of Mortgagor's right, title and interest therein. (h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and in addition to any rights, privileges and remedies granted to Collateral Agent elsewhere in this Mortgage, Collateral Agent shall have, and Mortgagor hereby grants to Collateral Agent, any and all rights, privileges and remedies of leasehold lenders provided for in the Mortgaged Lease without the necessity of particularly specifying any or all of such rights, privileges and remedies that are or could be granted to leasehold Collateral Agents pursuant to the Mortgaged Lease. (i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent the any of the covenants and obligations of Mortgagor hereunder, or any of the rights granted to Collateral Agent hereunder, conflict with the provisions of the Mortgaged Lease, the provisions of the Mortgaged Lease shall control, and Mortgagor shall not be required to take any action hereunder nor shall Collateral Agent be entitled to exercise any rights hereunder that are not permitted under the provisions of the Mortgaged Lease. 1.16 Future Indebtedness of Mortgagor. The lien of this Mortgage secures, as of the date hereof, without further act, all Obligations of Borrower and Mortgagor to Collateral Agent and the other Holders, including any and all future loans and advances made by Collateral Agent and the other Holders pursuant to the Indenture to or for the benefit of Borrower or Mortgagor from time to time hereafter. -13- ARTICLE TWO DEFAULTS 2.01 Event of Default. The term "Event of Default", wherever used in this Mortgage, shall mean the occurrence of an "Event of Default" as such term is defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. ARTICLE THREE REMEDIES 3.01 Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then all of the Obligations secured hereby shall, at Collateral Agent's option, immediately become due and payable without notice or demand, time being of the essence hereof; and no omission on the part of Collateral Agent to exercise such option when entitled to do so shall be construed as a waiver of such right, provided that upon an Event of Default under clauses (7) or (8) of the definition of "Event of Default" in Section 6.01 of the Indenture, all Obligations shall immediately become due and payable. 3.02 Collateral Agent's Power of Enforcement. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent may, either with or without entry or taking possession as herein above provided or otherwise, and without regard to whether or not the Obligations shall be due and without prejudice to the right of Collateral Agent or Holders thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure or any other action for any default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced, proceed by any appropriate action or proceeding: (a) to enforce payment of the Obligations or the performance of any term hereof or any other right; (b) to foreclose this Mortgage and to sell, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the Property under the power of sale hereinafter provided or the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction; and (c) to pursue any other remedy available to it. Collateral Agent shall take action either by such proceedings or by the exercise of its power with respect to entry or taking possession, or both, as Collateral Agent may determine. 3.03 Collateral Agent's Right to Enter and Take Possession. Operate and Apply Income. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) Mortgagor upon demand of Collateral Agent shall forthwith surrender to Collateral Agent the actual possession and if and to the extent permitted by law, Collateral Agent itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter upon and take possession of the Property and may exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom and may have joint access with Mortgagor to the books, papers and accounts of Mortgagor; and (ii) Mortgagor will pay monthly in advance to Collateral Agent on Collateral Agent's entry into possession, or to any receiver appointed to collect the rents, income and other benefits of the Property, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be in possession of Mortgagor, and upon default in any such payment will vacate and surrender possession of such part of the -14- Property to Collateral Agent or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Mortgagor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. (b) If Mortgagor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Property or any part thereof after Collateral Agent's demand, Collateral Agent may obtain a judgment or decree, on behalf of all of the Holders, conferring on Collateral Agent the right to immediate possession or requiring Mortgagor to deliver immediate possession of all or part of the Property to Collateral Agent, to the entry of which judgment or decree Mortgagor hereby specifically consents. Mortgagor shall pay to Collateral Agent, upon demand, all reasonable costs and expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree and compensation to Collateral Agent and the other Holders, its attorneys and agents, and all such costs, expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by the lien of this Mortgage. (c) Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession of the Property under this Section 3.03, Collateral Agent may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Property and conduct the business thereof, and, from time to time: (i) Make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property; (ii) Insure or keep the Property insured; (iii) Manage and operate the Property and exercise all the rights and powers of Mortgagor in its name or otherwise with respect to the same; (iv) Enter into agreements with others to exercise the powers herein granted Collateral Agent, all as Collateral Agent from time to time may determine; and Collateral Agent may collect and receive all the rents, income and other benefits thereof, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter; and shall apply the monies so received by Collateral Agent in such priority as Collateral Agent may determine to (1) the payment of the Obligations; (2) the deposits for taxes and assessments and insurance premiums due; (3) the cost of insurance, taxes, assessments and proper charges upon the Property or any part thereof; (4) the expenses of operating, maintaining, repairing and improving the Property, including with limitation renting commissions and rental collection commissions paid to Collateral Agent or agent on behalf of Collateral Agent and the other Holders or of the receiver; and (5) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, attorneys and other representatives of Collateral Agent. All costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by Collateral Agent in managing, operating and maintaining the Property shall constitute additional Obligations secured hereby. While in possession of the Property, Collateral Agent or the receiver shall be liable to account only for the rents, issues and profits actually received. Collateral Agent shall surrender possession of the Property to Mortgagor only when all Obligations secured hereby and all amounts under any of the terms of this Mortgage shall have been paid and all defaults cured or waived. The same right of taking possession, however, shall exist if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing. -15- 3.04 Foreclosure. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent may institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Mortgage, in which case the Property may be sold for cash or credit in one or more parcels. With respect to any notices required or permitted under the UCC, Mortgagor agrees that five (5) days' prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. At any such sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor, and against all other persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Mortgagor. Mortgagee may be a purchaser at such sale and if Mortgagee is the highest bidder, may credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Mortgagee against the Obligations secured hereby in lieu of paying cash. Out of the proceeds of said sale, Collateral Agent shall pay: all costs, charges, expenses, commissions, unpaid taxes, and fees of advertising, selling and conveying the Property and such other assessments, insurance or other fees or costs as may have been incurred; a sum sufficient to pay the entire balance owing on the Obligations secured hereby; and the surplus, if any, to Mortgagor or the person entitled thereto. 3.05 Leases. Collateral Agent is authorized to foreclose this Mortgage subject to the rights of any tenants of the Property, and the failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted by Mortgagor to be, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Collateral Agent to collect the sums secured hereby or to collect any deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Property. 3.06 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws. Mortgagor agrees to the full extent permitted by law that in case of a default in its part hereunder, neither Mortgagor nor anyone claiming through or under Mortgagor shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage or the absolute sale of the Property or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereat, and Mortgagor, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under Mortgagor, hereby waives, to the full extent that Mortgagor may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprising the Property marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that Collateral Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Property in part or as an entirety. 3.07 Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law and without regard to the value or adequacy of the security for the Obligations secured hereby, shall be entitled as a matter of right if it so elects to the appointment of a receiver to enter upon and take possession of the Property and to collect all rents, income and other benefits thereof and apply the same as the court may direct, and any such receiver shall be entitled to hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Property and conduct the business thereof as would Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 3.03(c) above. The expenses, including receiver's fees, reasonable attorney's fees, costs and agent's compensation, -16- incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured by this Mortgage. The right to enter and take possession of and to manage and operate the Property and to collect all rents, income and other benefits thereof, whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy hereunder or afforded by law and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. Collateral Agent shall be liable to account only for such rents, income and other benefits actually received by Collateral Agent, whether received pursuant to this paragraph or Section 3.03. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian, Collateral Agent shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposit, or instruments at the time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Mortgage to, Collateral Agent. 3.08 Suits to Protect the Property. Collateral Agent shall have the power and authority to institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as Collateral Agent may deem advisable (a) to prevent any impairment of the Property by any acts which may be unlawful or any violation of this Mortgage, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Property, and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other government enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement or compliance with such enactment, rule or order might impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to Collateral Agent's or Holders' interest. 3.09 Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceedings affecting Mortgagor or any guarantor, co-maker or endorser of any Mortgagor's obligations, its creditors or its property, Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Mortgagor under this Mortgage, the Indenture, the Indenture Documents and any other instrument securing the Obligations, at the date of the institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable by Mortgagor after such date. 3.10 Application of Monies by Collateral Agent. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall be entitled to sue for and to recover judgment against Borrower and/or Mortgagor for the whole amount of the Obligations due and unpaid together with costs and expenses, including without limitation, the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of Collateral Agent's and Holders' agents, attorneys and other representatives, either before, after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of this Mortgage, and the right of Collateral Agent to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any taking possession or foreclosure sale hereunder, or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the terms of this Mortgage, or the foreclosure of the lien hereof. (b) In case of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Property and the application of the proceeds of sale to the payment of the Obligations secured hereby, Collateral Agent shall be entitled to enforce payment of all Obligations then remaining due and unpaid and to recover -17- judgment against Borrower and/or Mortgagor for any portion thereof remaining unpaid, with interest. (c) Mortgagor hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that no recovery of any such judgment by Collateral Agent and no attachment or levy of any execution upon any of the Property or any other property shall in any way affect the lien of this Mortgage upon the Property or any part thereof or any lien, rights, powers or remedies of Holders hereunder, but such lien, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before. (d) Any monies collected or received by Collateral Agent under this Section 3.10 shall be applied to the payment of reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, attorneys, and other representatives of Collateral Agent, and the balance remaining shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations secured hereby. (e) The provisions of this paragraph shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise modify the provisions of any guaranty of the Obligations of Guarantor to Collateral Agent. 3.11 Delay or Omission; No Waiver. No delay or omission of Collateral Agent to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to waive any such Event of Default or to constitute acquiescence therein. Every right, power and remedy given to Collateral Agent may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Collateral Agent. 3.12 No Waiver of One Default to Affect Another. No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder shall extend to or affect any subsequent or any other Event of Default then existing, or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent thereon. If Collateral Agent (a) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any Obligations secured hereby; (b) takes other or additional security for the payment thereof; (c) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the Indenture; (d) releases any part of the Property from the lien of this Mortgage; (e) consents to the filing of any map, plat or replat of the Land; (f) consents to the granting of any easement on the Land; or (g) makes or consents to any agreement changing the terms of this Mortgage or subordinating the lien or any charge hereof, no such act or omission shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the Obligations of Mortgagor. No such act or omission shall preclude Collateral Agent or Holders from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in case of any Event of Default then existing or of any subsequent Event of Default nor shall the lien of this Mortgage be affected thereby. 3.13 Discontinuance of Proceedings; Position of Parties Restored. If Collateral Agent or Holders shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or such proceedings shall have resulted in a final determination adverse to Collateral Agent or Holders, then and in every such case Mortgagor and Collateral Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceedings had occurred or had been taken. 3.14 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Collateral Agent by this Mortgage or the Notes is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, -18- but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given under the Notes, or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute. ARTICLE TRANSFER OR FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE OF THE PROPERTY 4.01 Transfer of Further Encumbrance of the Property. In the event of any sale, conveyance, transfer, lease, pledge or further encumbrance of the Property or any interest in or any part of the Property, or any further assignment of rents from the Property without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent then, at Collateral Agent's option, Collateral Agent may declare all Obligations of Mortgagor to be due and payable immediately without demand or notice. Collateral Agent's consent shall be within its sole and absolute discretion. ARTICLE FIVE MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 5.01 Successors and Assigns Included in Parties. Whenever one of the parties hereto is named or referred to herein, the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of such party shall be included and all covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage, by or on behalf of Mortgagor or Collateral Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 5.02 Addresses for Notices, Etc.
