N.                       Borrower further represents that (i) the Premises is not subject to any casualty damage; (ii) Borrower has not received any written notice of any eminent domain or condemnation proceeding affecting the Premises; and (iii) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, following due and diligent inquiry, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, completed or threatened against or affecting Borrower or any person or entity owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in Borrower (“Interest Owner(s)”) or any property of Borrower or any Interest Owner in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any governmental authority (whether local, state, federal or foreign) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected by Lender to be material to the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

O.                       Borrower further represents and warrants that as of the date hereof and until the Indebtedness is paid in full:

 

(a)                   Borrower and each person or entity owning an interest in Borrower is not (i) identified on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) and/or on any other similar list maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation (collectively, the “List”), (ii) a person or entity with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited to engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction, or other prohibition of United States law, regulation, or Executive Order of the President of the United States;

(j)                       execute any and all documents which may be required to perfect the security interest granted by this Mortgage; and

Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, the restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 2(a) shall not be applicable if such activity is (i) required by applicable Legal Requirements; or (ii) specifically provided for in a Lease approved by Lender prior to closing of the Loan or thereafter, in which a tenant has the right to complete any of the above without Borrower’s prior consent in its capacity as landlord under such Lease.

7



 

(b)                    remove or demolish any material Improvements, or any portion thereof, which at any time constitutes a part of the Premises.

 

Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, Borrower may construct, remove or demolish tenant improvements within the then existing building(s) or other structures to the extent such work is required solely under the terms of any Leases approved by Lender provided (i) no Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents; (ii) the work is completed on a timely basis, in a good, workmanlike, lien-free manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements, and (iii) such work does not negatively affect the structural integrity of the Improvements or the value of the Premises;

 

(c)                     cause or permit any change to be made in the general use of the Premises without Lender’s prior written consent;

(iii)                 in addition to (i) and (ii) above, if the Borrower is a trust, or if a trust owns an interest, directly or indirectly, in any entity which owns an interest in Borrower at any level of the ownership structure, the addition, deletion or substitution of a trustee of such trust; or

 

If any of such events occur, it shall be null and void and shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents.

 

It is understood and agreed that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note is personal to Borrower and in reliance upon the ownership structure of Borrower

 

8



 

and in accepting the same Lender has relied upon what it perceived as the willingness and ability of Borrower and the Interest Owners to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity and as lessor under the Leases of the Premises. Furthermore, Lender may consent to a Transfer and expressly waive Borrower’s covenants contained in this paragraph 2(f), in writing to Borrower; however any such consent and waiver shall not constitute any consent or waiver of such covenants as to any Transfer other than that for which the consent and waiver was expressly granted. Furthermore, Lender’s willingness to consent to any Transfer and waive Borrower’s covenants contained in this paragraph 2(f), implies no standard of reasonableness in determining whether or not such consent shall be granted and the same may be based upon what Lender solely deems to be in its best interest.

All insurance coverages and requirements that are not maintained by Major Tenant or a Replacement Tenant in accordance with the Lender’s insurance requirements herein shall at all times during the Loan be maintained by Borrower.

 

(d)                    To the contrary notwithstanding, so long as there is no Event of Default hereunder and so long as the lease between Borrower and Major Tenant remains in full force and effect and there are no material breaches thereof beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, Lender agrees to accept self-insurance by Major Tenant for its leased premises. Lender will only accept self-insurance by Major Tenant under the terms of its lease if Major Tenant maintains an investment grade credit rating as required by its Lease. All insurance coverages and requirements that are not self insured by Major Tenant in accordance with the Lender’s insurance requirements herein shall at all times during the Loan be maintained by Major Tenant or Borrower (with the exception of coverage for rental insurance, which shall be provided by Borrower).

Lender shall have the right (which may be waived by Lender in writing) to settle and adjust any claim under such insurance policies required to be maintained by Borrower. In all circumstances, the proceeds thereof shall be paid to Lender and Lender is authorized to collect and to give receipts therefor. Borrower agrees and acknowledges that such proceeds shall be held by Lender without any allowance of interest and that in any bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower, all such proceeds shall be deemed to be “Cash Collateral” as that term is defined in Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Provided that no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall have the right to participate in any settlement or adjustment; provided, however, that any settlement or adjustment shall be subject to the written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

(b)                    Such proceeds, after deducting therefrom any reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in the collection thereof (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), shall be applied by Lender to pay the Indebtedness secured hereby including, but not limited to the Make Whole Premium, whether or not then due and payable, provided, however, that if no Event of Default exists at the time of such application, no Make Whole Premium shall be due.

 

Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary,

 

(i)                       in the event the casualty occurs more than six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall apply such proceeds as follows:

 

(A)                  If the aggregate amount of such proceeds is less than $250,000, Lender shall pay such proceeds directly to Borrower, to be held in trust for Lender and applied to the cost of rebuilding and restoring the Premises.

 

(B)                  If the aggregate amount of such proceeds equals or exceeds $250,000 Lender shall disburse such amounts of the proceeds as Lender reasonably deems necessary for the repair or replacement of the Premises, subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph 6(c) below.

 

21



 

(ii)                    in the event (x) an Event of Default exists, or (y) the casualty occurs during the last six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date and Lender determines that the repair and restoration of such casualty cannot be completed prior to the Maturity Date, or (z) the conditions set forth in paragraph 6(c) are not met, then Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion may either:

 

(A)                  declare the entire Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, provided, however, that if no Event of Default exists, no Make Whole Premium shall be due. All proceeds shall be applied toward payment of the Indebtedness in such priority as Lender elects; or

 

(B)                  disburse such proceeds as Lender reasonably deems necessary for the repair or replacement of the Premises subject to those conditions set forth in paragraph 6(c) which Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may require.

 

(c)      (i)                          In the event that Borrower is to be reimbursed out of the insurance proceeds or out of any award or payment received with respect to a Taking, Lender shall from time to time make available such proceeds, subject to the following conditions: (a) there continues to exist no Event of Default; (b) the delivery to Lender of satisfactory evidence of the estimated cost of completion of such repair and restoration work and any architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, and other evidence of cost and of payment and of the continued priority of the lien hereof over any potential liens of mechanics and materialmen (including, without limitation, title policy endorsements) as Lender may reasonably require and approve; (c) the time required to complete the repair and restoration work and for the income from the Premises to return to the level it was prior to the loss will not exceed the coverage period of the rental value insurance required hereunder, (d) the annual net cash flow (annual net operating income after deduction for tenant improvements, leasing commissions, annual replacement reserves and a management fee) shall equal or exceed 1.5 times the annual debt service on the Note. Only net operating income from approved executed Leases in effect on the Premises, having at least three (3) years remaining prior to the expiration of their term, with no uncured defaults, shall be used in Lender’s determination of the annual net cash flow; (e) Lender approves the plans and specifications of such work before such work is commenced if the estimated cost of rebuilding and restoration exceeds 25% of the Indebtedness or involves any structural changes or modifications. If said plans and specifications substantially comply with those previously approved by Lender, Lender’s approval shall not be unreasonably

 

22



 

withheld; (f) if the amount of any insurance proceeds, award or other payment is insufficient to cover the cost of restoring and rebuilding the Premises, Borrower shall pay such cost in excess of such proceeds, award or other payment before being entitled to reimbursement out of such funds; (g) Borrower pays to Lender a non-refundable processing fee equal to the greater of $5,000.00 or .25% of the amount of such proceeds within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of any such damage or destruction and before Lender disburses any proceeds; and (h) such other conditions to such disbursements, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, as would be customarily required by a construction lender doing business in the area where the Premises is located or which are otherwise required by any rating agency rating a securitization transaction with respect to the Loan.

 

(ii)                    No payment made by Lender prior to the final completion of the repair or restoration work shall, together with all payments theretofore made, exceed 90% of the cost of such work performed to the time of payment, and at all times the undisbursed balance of said proceeds shall be at least sufficient to pay for the cost of completion of such work free and clear of all liens. Any proceeds remaining after payment of the cost of rebuilding and restoration shall, at the option of Lender, either be (a) applied in reduction of the Indebtedness secured hereby, provided, however, that if no Event of Default exists at the time of such application, no Make Whole Premium shall be due, or (b) paid to Borrower.

 

(iii)                 Repair and restoration of the Premises shall be commenced promptly after the occurrence of the loss and shall be prosecuted to completion diligently, and the Premises shall be so restored and rebuilt to substantially the same character and quality as prior to such damage and destruction and shall comply with all Legal Requirements.

 

(d)                    Should such damage or destruction occur after foreclosure or sale proceedings have been instituted, the proceeds of any such insurance policy or policies, if not applied in rebuilding or restoration of the Improvements, shall be used to pay (i) the Indebtedness then due and owing in the event of a non-judicial sale in such priority as Lender elects, or (ii) the amount due in accordance with any decree of foreclosure or deficiency judgment that may be entered in connection with such proceedings, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the owner of the equity of redemption if it shall then be entitled to the same, or otherwise as any court having jurisdiction may direct.

 

(e)                     To the contrary notwithstanding, so long as there is no Event of Default hereunder and so long as the Lease with Major Tenant remains in full force and effect, Lender agrees that the provisions of the Lease with Major Tenant governing the application of insurance proceeds and restoration shall apply with respect to the portion of the Premises subject to such Lease.

 

23



 

7.                        In the event of the commencement of a Taking affecting the Premises:

(c)                     Notwithstanding anything herein above to the contrary, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender agrees to disburse the proceeds received from any Inconsequential Taking, as hereinafter defined, to Borrower for the repair and/or replacement of the Premises. An Inconsequential Taking shall be a Taking which (i) results in less than $250,000 in proceeds; (ii) does not, in Lender’s determination, materially or adversely affect the Improvements, parking, access, ingress, egress or use of the Premises; and (iii) does not trigger any rights or options of tenants under the Leases.

 

(d)                    To the contrary notwithstanding, so long as there is no Event of Default hereunder and so long as the Lease with Major Tenant remains in full force and effect, Lender agrees that the provisions of the Lease with Major Tenant governing the application of the proceeds of a Taking shall apply with respect to that portion of the Premises subject to such Lease.

 

8.                        If by the laws of the United States of America or of any state or governmental subdivision having jurisdiction over Borrower or of the Premises or of the Loan evidenced by the Loan Documents or any amendments or modifications thereof, any tax or fee is due or becomes due or is imposed upon Lender in respect of the issuance of the Note hereby secured or the making, recording and registration of this Mortgage or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity or the Loan, except for Lender’s income or franchise tax, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay such tax or fee in the manner required by such law, and to hold harmless and indemnify Lender, its successors and assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition of any such tax or fee.

24



 

manner deemed expedient and may, but need not, make full or partial payments of principal or interest on prior encumbrances, if any, and purchase, discharge, compromise or settle any tax lien or other prior lien or title or claim thereof, or redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture affecting said Premises, or contest any tax or assessment.

(b)                    In making any payment hereby authorized relating to taxes or assessments or for the purchase, discharge, compromise or settlement of any prior lien, Lender may make such payment according to any bill, statement or estimate secured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy thereof or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof or without inquiry as to the validity or amount of any claim for lien which may be asserted.

(c)                     one or more of the items set forth in paragraph 10(b) above occur which were either not (i) voluntarily brought by Borrower, Interest Owner or any guarantor or (ii) acquiesced in by Borrower, Interest Owner or any guarantor, and which are not discharged or dismissed within 90 days after the action, filing or appointment, as the case may be; or

 

With respect to the matters in (b) and (c) above for an Interest Owner only, no Event of Default shall occur until an interested party or Interest Owner asserts a claim or right against Borrower or the Premises which delays or otherwise affects Lender’s rights, remedies, or interests granted under the Loan Documents (whether or not such assertion is successful).

 

(d)                    with respect to the matters not described in the other subparagraphs of this paragraph 10, failure to duly observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement of the Borrower or any guarantor contained in this Mortgage, the Loan Agreement, the Guaranty, the Note or the Assignment of Leases from Borrower to Lender or in any other instrument or agreement which evidences or secures the Loan (the “Loan Documents”), or in the Environmental Indemnity, and such failure shall have continued for 30 days after Notice specifying such failure is given by Lender to Borrower; or

 

If any failure to observe or perform under (d) above shall be of such nature that it cannot be cured or remedied within 30 days, Borrower shall be entitled to a reasonable period of time to cure or remedy such failure (not to exceed 90 days following the giving of Notice), provided Borrower commences the cure or remedy thereof within the 30 day period following the giving of Notice and thereafter proceeds with diligence, as determined by Lender, to complete such cure or remedy.

 

(e)                     the failure of Borrower to duly observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions and agreements of the Borrower contained in paragraph 2(f) of this Mortgage; or

 

(f)                      any representation when made by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner or any guarantor regarding the Premises, the making or delivery of any of the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity or in any material written information provided by or on behalf of Borrower, Interest Owner or any guarantor in connection with the Loan shall prove to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect; or

 

(g)                     the failure of Borrower to give Notice to Lender within 90 days after the death of any individual who is personally liable for any obligation under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, as Borrower, indemnitor or guarantor, whether or not such individual had executed the Note or this Mortgage; or

 

26



 

(h)                    subject to the provisions of paragraph 2(f), the failure of Borrower to provide Lender with an assumption agreement in form and substance and executed by a person(s) or entity(ies) acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion to assume the obligations of any deceased individual who is personally liable for any obligation under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, as Borrower, indemnitor or guarantor, whether or not such individual had executed the Note or this Mortgage, and such failure shall have continued for 90 days after the death of such individual; or

 

(i)                        the failure of Borrower to remain a Single-Purpose Entity;

 

then, in each and every such case, the whole of said principal sum hereby secured shall, at the option of the Lender and without further notice to Borrower, become immediately due and payable together with accrued interest thereon, a Make Whole Premium calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents and all other Indebtedness, and whether or not Lender has exercised said option, interest shall accrue on the entire principal balance and any interest or Make Whole Premium or other Indebtedness then due, at the Default Rate until fully paid or if Lender has not exercised said option, for the duration of any Event of Default.

 

11.                 Borrower agrees that if Lender accelerates the whole or any part of the principal sum hereby secured after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or applies any proceeds pursuant to the provisions hereof, Borrower waives any right to prepay the principal sum hereby secured in whole or in part without premium and agrees to pay, as yield maintenance protection and not as a penalty, a “Make Whole Premium”. However, in the event any proceeds from a casualty or Taking of the Premises are applied to reduce the principal balance under the Note, no Make Whole Premium shall be due so long as no Event of Default exists at the time of such application.

 

12.                 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise, Lender shall have the right to foreclose the lien hereof, and to the extent permitted herein and by applicable law to sell the Premises by sale independent of the foreclosure proceedings. In any suit to foreclose the lien hereof, and in any sale of the Premises, there shall be allowed and included as additional Indebtedness payable by Borrower to Lender and secured hereby all expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Lender for attorneys’ fees and costs, including attorneys’ fees and costs on appeal, appraisers’ fees, expenditures for documentary and expert evidence, stenographer’s charges, publication and advertising costs, survey costs, environmental audits and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after the entry of any decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, torrens certificates and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Lender deems reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to consummate such sale or to evidence to bidders at any sale

 

27



 

the true condition of the title to or the value of the Premises. Further, Lender shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to exercise any or all of the remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as now or hereafter adopted in the State of New Jersey.

 

13.                 The proceeds of any foreclosure sale, or other sale of the Premises in accordance with the terms hereof or as permitted by law, shall be distributed and applied in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of all costs and expenses incident to the foreclosure and/or sale proceedings, including all items as are mentioned in any preceding or succeeding paragraph hereof; second, to the payment of all other items which under the terms hereof constitute secured Indebtedness in addition to that evidenced by the Note, with interest thereon as herein provided; third, to the payment of all principal, accrued interest remaining unpaid on the Note and Make Whole Premium; fourth, any surplus to the Borrower or Borrower’s successors or assigns, as their rights may appear.

 

14.                 Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, unless the same has been specifically waived in writing, Borrower shall forthwith upon demand of Lender surrender to Lender possession of the Premises, and Lender shall be entitled to take actual possession of the Premises or any part thereof personally or by its agents or attorneys, and Lender in its discretion may, with or without force and with or without process of law, enter upon and take and maintain possession of all or any part of the Premises together with all documents, books, records, papers and accounts of the Borrower or the then owner of the Premises relating thereto, and may exclude Borrower, its agents or assigns wholly therefrom, and may as attorney-in-fact or agent of the Borrower, or in its own name as Lender and under the powers herein granted:

 

(a)                    hold, operate, maintain, repair, rebuild, replace, alter, improve, manage or control the Premises as it deems judicious, insure and reinsure the same and any risks related to Lender’s possession, operation and management thereof and receive all Rents, either personally or by its agents, and with full power to use such measures, legal or equitable, as in its discretion it deems proper or necessary to enforce the payment or security of the Rents, including actions for the recovery of Rent, actions in forcible detainer and actions in distress for Rents, hereby granting full power and authority to exercise each and every of the rights, privileges and powers herein granted at any and all times hereafter, without notice to Borrower; and

 

(b)                    conduct leasing activity pursuant to the provisions of the Assignment of Leases.

 

Lender shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does it hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease. Except to the extent that the same is caused solely by Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, should Lender incur any liability, loss or damage under any Leases, or

 

28



 

under or by reason of the Assignment of Leases, or in the defense of my claims or demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements in any Lease, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs on appeal, shall be added to the Indebtedness and secured hereby.

 

15.                 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender in the exercise of the rights and powers conferred upon it shall have the full power to use and apply the Rents, less costs and expenses of collection to the payment of or on account of the items listed in (a) – (c) below, at the election of Lender and in such order as Lender may determine as follows:

 

(a)                    to the payment of (i) the expenses of operating and maintaining the Premises, including, but not limited to the cost of management, leasing (which shall include reasonable compensation to Lender and its agent or agents if management and/or leasing is delegated to an agent or agents), repairing, rebuilding, replacing, altering and improving the Premises, (ii) premiums on insurance as hereinabove authorized, (iii) taxes and special assessments now due or which may hereafter become due on the Premises and (iv) expenses of placing the Premises in such condition as will, in the sole judgment of Lender, make it readily rentable;

 

(b)                    to the payment of any principal, interest or any other Indebtedness secured hereby or any deficiency which may result from any foreclosure sale;

 

(c)                     to the payment of established claims for damages, if any, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs on appeal.

 

The manner of the application of Rents, the reasonableness of the costs and charges to which such Rents are applied and the item or items which shall be credited thereby shall be within the sole and unlimited discretion of Lender. To the extent that the costs and expenses in (a) and (c) above exceed the amounts collected, the excess shall be added to the Indebtedness and secured hereby.

 

16.                 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, unless the same has been specifically waived in writing, Lender may apply to any court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of the Premises. Such appointment may be made either before or after sale, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Borrower at the time of application for such receiver and without regard to the then value of the Premises or the adequacy of Lender’s security. Lender may be appointed as such receiver. The receiver shall have the power to collect the Rents during the pendency of any foreclosure proceeding and, in case of a sale, during the full statutory period of redemption, if any, as well as during any further times when Borrower, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collect

 

29



 

such Rents. Borrower hereby consents to the foregoing and waives any right to object to such appointment. In addition, the receiver shall have all other powers which shall be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Premises during the whole of said period. The court from time to time may authorize the receiver to apply the net income in its possession at Lender’s election and in such order as Lender may determine in payment in full or in part of those items listed in paragraph 15.

 

17.    (a)                         Borrower agrees that all reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred or expended by Lender arising out of or in connection with any action, proceeding or hearing, legal, equitable or quasi-legal, including the preparation therefor and any appeal therefrom, in any way affecting or pertaining to the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity or the Premises, shall be promptly paid by Borrower. Such expenses shall include but not be limited to reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel for Lender) incurred in connection with (a) the preservation and enforcement of Lender’s liens and security interests under this Mortgage, (b) the protection, exercise or enforcement of Lender’s rights with respect to the Premises including (without limitation) Lender’s rights to (i) collect or take possession of the Premises and the proceeds thereof, (ii) hold the Premises, (iii) prepare the Premises for sale or other disposition and (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of the Premises, and (c) the assertion, protection, exercise or enforcement of Lender’s rights in any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code, including (without limitation) the preparation, filing and prosecution of (i) proofs of claim, (ii) motions for relief from the automatic stay, (iii) motions for adequate protection, and (iv) complaints, answers and other pleadings in adversary proceedings by or against Lender or relating in any way to the Premises. All such sums not promptly paid by Borrower shall be added to the Indebtedness secured hereby and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of such advance and shall be due and payable on demand.

 

(b)                    Borrower hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the principal sum secured hereby pursuant to this Mortgage, to the full extent that such rights can be lawfully waived, Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to insist upon, plead, or in any manner take advantage of, any notice of acceleration, any stay, extension, exemption, homestead, marshaling or moratorium law or any law providing for the valuation or appraisement of all or any part of the Premises prior to any sale or sales thereof under any provision of this Mortgage or before or after any decree, judgment or order of any court or confirmation thereof, or claim or exercise any right to redeem all or any part of the Premises so sold and hereby expressly waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law on behalf of itself and each and every person or entity acquiring any right, title or interest in or to all or any part of the Premises, all benefit and advantage of any such laws which would otherwise be available to Borrower or

 

30



 

any such person or entity, and agrees that neither Borrower nor any such person or entity will invoke or utilize any such law to otherwise hinder, delay or impede the exercise of any remedy granted or delegated to Lender herein but will permit the exercise of such remedy as though any such laws had not been enacted. Borrower hereby further expressly waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law on behalf of itself and each and every person or entity acquiring any right, title or interest in or to all or any part of the Premises any and all rights of redemption from any sale or any order or decree of foreclosure obtained pursuant to provisions of this Mortgage. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives and releases all procedural errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Lender under the terms of this Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

 

18.                 In accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Assignment of Leases, Borrower hereby assigns to Lender directly and absolutely, and not merely collaterally, the interest of Borrower as lessor under the Leases of the Premises, and the Rents payable under any Lease and/or with respect to the use of the Premises, or portion thereof, including any oil, gas or mineral lease, or any installments of money payable pursuant to any agreement or any sale of the Premises or any part thereof, subject only to a license, if any, granted by Lender to Borrower with respect thereto prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default. Borrower has executed and delivered the Assignment of Leases which grants to Lender specific rights and remedies in respect of said Leases and governs the collection of Rents thereunder and from the use of the Premises, and such rights and remedies so granted shall be cumulative of those granted herein.

 

The collection of such Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice, except to the extent any such Event of Default is fully cured. Failure or discontinuance of Lender at any time, or from time to time, to collect any such moneys shall not impair in any manner the subsequent enforcement by Lender of the right, power and authority herein conferred on Lender. Nothing contained herein, including the exercise of any right, power or authority herein granted to Lender, shall be, or be construed to be, an affirmation by Lender of any tenancy, Lease or option, or an assumption of liability under, or the subordination of the lien or charge of this Mortgage to any such tenancy, Lease or option. Borrower hereby agrees that, in the event Lender exercises its rights as provided for in this paragraph or in the Assignment of Leases, Borrower waives any right to compensation for the use of Borrower’s furniture, furnishings or equipment in the Premises for the period such assignment of rents or receivership is in effect, it being understood that the Rents derived from the use of any such items shall be applied to Borrower’s obligations hereunder as above provided.

 

19.                 All rights and remedies granted to Lender in the Loan Documents shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any rights and remedies to which it is entitled in equity, at

 

31



 

law or by statute, and the invalidity of any right or remedy herein provided by reason of its conflict with applicable law or statute shall not affect any other valid right or remedy afforded to Lender. No waiver of any default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall at any time thereafter be held to be a waiver of any rights of the Lender hereunder, nor shall any waiver of a prior Event of Default or default operate to waive any subsequent Event of Default or default. All remedies provided for in the Loan Documents are cumulative and may, at the election of Lender, be exercised alternatively, successively or concurrently. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision or to proceed against one portion of the Premises to the exclusion of any other portion. Time is of the essence under this Mortgage and the Loan Documents.

 

20.                 By accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Lender does not waive its right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums or installments so secured or to declare a default for failure to pay such other sums or installments.

 

21.                 The usury provisions of paragraph 6 of the Note and the limitation of recourse liability provisions of paragraph 9 of the Note are fully incorporated herein by reference as if the same were specifically stated here.

 

22.                 In the event one or more provisions of the Loan Documents shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the Loan Documents shall be construed as if any such provision had never been contained herein.

 

23.                 If the payment of the Indebtedness secured hereby or of any part thereof shall be extended or varied, or if any part of the security be released, all persons now or at any time hereafter liable therefor, or interested in said Premises, shall be held to assent to such extension, variation or release, and their liability and the lien and all provisions hereof shall continue in full force, the right of recourse against all such persons being expressly reserved by Lender notwithstanding such variation or release.

 

24.                 Upon payment in full of the principal sum, interest and other Indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents, these presents shall be null and void, and Lender shall release this Mortgage and the lien hereof by proper instrument executed in recordable form.

 

25.    (a)                         Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its respective agents, attorneys, employees, consultants, contractors and assigns an irrevocable license and authorization to enter upon and inspect the Premises and all facilities located thereon at reasonable times, subject to the inspection rights provisions afforded to Borrower under the Leases. Lender shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the operations of tenants are not disrupted.

 

32



 

(b)                    In connection with any sale or conveyance of this Mortgage, Borrower grants to Lender and its respective agents, attorneys, employees, consultants, contractors and assigns an irrevocable license and authorization to conduct, at Lender’s expense, a Phase I environmental audit of the Premises, subject to the inspection rights provisions afforded to Borrower under the Leases.

 

(c)                     In the event there has been an Event of Default or in the event Lender has formed a reasonable belief, based on its inspection of the Premises or other factors known to it, that Hazardous Materials may be present on the Premises, then Borrower grants to Lender and its respective agents, attorneys, employees, consultants, contractors and assigns an irrevocable license and authorization to conduct, at Borrower’s expense using EMG Corp. or the firm of Borrower’s choice, subject to Lender’s reasonable approval, environmental tests of the Premises, including without limitation, a Phase I environmental audit, subsurface testing, soil and ground water testing, and other tests which may physically invade the Premises or facilities (the “Tests”). The scope of the Tests shall be such as Lender, in its sole discretion, determines is necessary to (i) investigate the condition of the Premises, (ii) protect the security interests created under this Mortgage, or (iii) determine compliance with Environmental Laws, the provisions of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity and other matters relating thereto. Lender shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the operations of the tenants are not disrupted.

 

(d)                    Provided no Event of Default has occurred, Lender will provide Borrower with reasonable notice of Lender’s intent to enter, inspect and conduct the Tests provided for in this paragraph. In addition, Lender shall conduct such inspections and Tests during normal business hours and use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption of the lessees’ business operations.

 

The foregoing licenses and authorizations are intended to be a means of protection of Lender’s security interest in the Premises and not as participation in the management of the Premises.

 

26.                 Within 15 days after any written request by either party to this Mortgage, the requested party shall certify, by a written statement duly acknowledged, the amount of principal, interest and other Indebtedness then owing on the Note, the terms of payment, Maturity Date and the date to which interest has been paid. Borrower shall further certify whether any defaults, offsets or defenses exist against the Indebtedness secured hereby. Borrower shall also furnish to Lender, within 30 days of its request therefor, tenant estoppel letters from such tenants of the Premises as Lender may reasonably require; which Lender shall not request more than one (1) time per annum, nor more than one (1) time prior to the date of the Securitization Transaction.

 

27.                 Each notice, consent, request, report or other communication under this Mortgage or any other Loan Document (each a “Notice”) which any party hereto may desire or be

 

33



 

required to give to the other shall be deemed to be an adequate and sufficient notice if given in writing and service is made by either (i) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, in which case notice shall be deemed to have been received three (3) business days following deposit to U.S. mail; or (ii) nationally recognized overnight air courier, next day delivery, prepaid, in which case such notice shall be deemed to have been received one (1) business day following delivery to such nationally recognized overnight air courier. All Notices shall be addressed to Borrower at its address given on the first page hereof or to Lender at c/o Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC, 801 Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50392-1450, Attn: Commercial Real Estate Servicing, Loan No. 755086, or to such other place as either party may by written notice to the other hereafter designate as a place for service of notice. Borrower shall not be permitted to designate more than one place for service of Notice concurrently.

 

28.                 This Mortgage and all provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of Lender and shall bind the heirs and permitted successors and assigns of Borrower.

 

29.                 Borrower has had the opportunity to fully negotiate the terms hereof and modify the draftsmanship of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity. Therefore, the terms of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity shall be construed and interpreted without any presumption, inference, or rule requiring construction or interpretation of any provision of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity against the interest of the party causing the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity or any portion of it to be drafted. Borrower is entering into the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity freely and voluntarily without any duress, economic or otherwise.

 

30.                 This Mortgage shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New Jersey, without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

 

31.                 As used herein, the term “Default Rate” means a rate equal to the lesser of (i) four percent (4%) per annum above the then applicable interest rate payable under the Note or (ii) the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Borrower acknowledges that the Default Rate is not a penalty, but rather is a rate of interest negotiated by the parties to compensate Lender for the increased credit risk to which Lender is subjected by reason of the occurrence of one or more Events of Default.

 

32.                 BORROWER AND LENDER EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTIONS BROUGHT BY BORROWER OR LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORTGAGE, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE INDEBTEDNESS SECURED HEREBY, OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF LENDER.

 

34



 

33.                 This Mortgage and the Indebtedness secured hereby is for the sole purpose of conducting or acquiring a lawful business, professional or commercial activity or for the acquisition or management of real or personal property as a commercial investment, and all proceeds of such Indebtedness shall be used for said business or commercial investment purpose. Such proceeds will not be used for the purchase of any security within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any regulation issued pursuant thereto, including without limitation, Regulations U, T and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This is not a purchase money mortgage where a seller is providing financing to a buyer for the payment of all or any portion of the purchase price, and the Premises secured hereby is not a residence or homestead or used for mining, grazing, agriculture, timber or farming purposes.

 

34.                 Unless Lender shall otherwise direct in writing, Borrower shall appear in and defend all actions or proceedings purporting to affect the security hereunder, or any right or power of the Lender, excluding any Federal regulatory proceedings against Lender that are not instituted because of any act or omission by Borrower, any Interest Owner or which result from the Premises. The Lender shall have the right to appear in such actions or proceedings. Borrower shall save Lender harmless from all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and costs of a title search, continuation of abstract and preparation of survey incurred by reason of any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, motion or application before any court or administrative body in and to which Lender may be or become a party by reason hereof, excluding any Federal regulatory proceedings against Lender that are not instituted because of any act or omission by Borrower, any Interest Owner or which result from the Premises. Such proceedings shall include but not be limited to condemnation, bankruptcy, probate and administration proceedings, as well as any other action, suit, proceeding, right, motion or application wherein proof of claim is by law required to be filed or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the terms of this Mortgage or the Loan Documents or otherwise purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Lender. All money paid or expended by Lender in that regard, together with interest thereon from date of such payment at the Default Rate shall be additional Indebtedness secured hereby and shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower without notice.

 

35.                 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, unless the same has been specifically waived in writing, all Rents collected or received by Borrower shall be accepted and held for Lender in trust and shall not be commingled with the funds and property of Borrower, but shall be promptly paid over to Lender.

 

36.                 If more than one, all obligations and agreements of Borrower are joint and several.

 

37.                 This Mortgage may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original; and such counterparts when taken together shall constitute but one agreement.

 

35



 

38.                 Borrower and Lender may agree to change the interest rate, Maturity Date, or other term or terms of this Mortgage, or any of the Loan Documents, or of the Indebtedness secured hereby. Any such agreement shall be in writing, duly executed by both Borrower and Lender. In the event that any such agreement shall occur, it shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed a “modification” as defined in N.J.S.A. §46:9-8.1 et seq., and this Mortgage shall be subject to, and Lender shall be the beneficiary of, the mortgage lien priority provisions of N.J.S.A. §46:9-8.2. Further, all advances made under the Loan Documents, including any future advances, whether or not entitled to priority under N.J.S.A. §46:9-8.2, shall be deemed to be obligatory advances when made, shall be secured hereby, and shall, to the maximum extent possible under the law, relate back as to lien priority to the date when this Mortgage was left for recording with the Camden County recorder of deeds. By placing or accepting any lien or encumbrance against any or all of the Premises, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed to the maximum extent possible under the law that its lien or encumbrance shall be subject and subordinate in lien priority to this Mortgage and to any subsequent advances made under the Loan Documents, to all accrued and unpaid interest and to all other sums secured hereby.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Mortgage and Security Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
