ARTICLE I

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER

Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, does hereby represent, warrant and covenant to and with Lender, its successors and assigns, that:

Section 1.1             Organization; Special Purpose. Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations. Borrower possesses all franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, licenses and permits necessary for the conduct of its business substantially as now conducted. Borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.29 hereof. All of the assumptions made in that certain substantive non-consolidation opinion letter dated the date hereof, delivered by Borrower’s counsel in connection with the Loan and any subsequent non-consolidation opinion delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Mortgage (the “Non-Consolidation Opinion”), including, but not limited to, any exhibits attached thereto, are true and correct in all respects.

Section 1.2             Title. Borrower has good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property, subject only to those matters expressly set forth as exceptions to or subordinate matters in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Mortgage delivered as of the date hereof which Lender has agreed to accept, excepting therefrom all preprinted and/or standard exceptions (such items being the “Permitted Encumbrances”), and has full power and lawful authority to grant, bargain, sell, convey, assign, transfer, encumber and mortgage its interest in the Property in the manner and form hereby done or intended. Borrower will preserve its interest in and title to the Property and will forever warrant and defend the same to Lender against any and all claims whatsoever and will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien and security interest created herein against the claims of all persons and parties whomsoever, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances. This Mortgage creates (i) a valid, perfected lien on the Premises, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the liens created by the Loan Documents and (ii) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no security agreements or financing statements affecting all or any portion of the Property other than (i) as disclosed in writing by Borrower to Lender prior to the date hereof and (ii) the security agreements and financing statements created in favor of Lender. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Premises which are or may become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the liens created by the Loan Documents. None of the Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by this Mortgage, materially and adversely affect the value of the Premises, impair the use or operations of the Premises or impair Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations in a timely manner. The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the foreclosure of this Mortgage

5




and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender in the event Lender acquires title to the Property pursuant to any foreclosure.

Section 1.3             No Bankruptcy Filing. No bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings or liquidation of all or a substantial portion of the Property is pending or contemplated by Borrower or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, against Borrower or by or against any endorser or cosigner of the Note or of any portion of the Debt, or any guarantor or indemnitor under any guaranty or indemnity agreement, including, without limitation, that certain Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement, dated the date hereof, executed by Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, in favor of Lender (the “Guaranty Agreement”), executed in connection with the Note or the loan evidenced thereby and secured hereby (an “Indemnitor”). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any general partner, manager, sole member, managing member or majority shareholder of Borrower, as applicable (collectively, the “Borrower Parties”, each a “Borrower Party”), and neither Borrower Party or any principal of a Borrower Party has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.

Section 1.4             Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or, as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower and the Property (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of  Borrower and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Mortgage. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

Section 1.5             Proceedings; Enforceability. The execution, delivery and performance of this Mortgage, the Note and all of the other Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action to be, and are, binding and enforceable against Borrower in accordance with the respective terms thereof and do not contravene, result in a breach of or constitute a default (nor upon the giving of notice or the passage of time or both will same constitute a default) under the partnership agreement, articles of incorporation, operating agreement or other organizational documents of Borrower or any contract or agreement of any nature to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any of its property may be bound and do not violate or contravene any law, order, decree, rule or regulation to which Borrower is subject. The Loan Documents are not subject to, and Borrower has not asserted, any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury.

6




Section 1.6             No Conflicts. Borrower is not required to obtain any consent, approval or authorization from or to file any declaration or statement with, any governmental authority or agency in connection with or as a condition to the execution, delivery or performance of this Mortgage, the Note or the other Loan Documents which has not been so obtained or filed. Borrower has obtained or made all necessary (i) consents, approvals and authorizations and registrations and filings of or with all governmental authorities or agencies and (ii) consents, approvals, waivers and notifications of partners, stockholders, members, creditors, lessors and other non-governmental persons and/or entities, in each case, which are required to be obtained or made by Borrower in connection with the execution and delivery of, and the performance by Borrower of its obligations under, the Loan Documents.

Section 1.7             Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation T, U or X or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by law or any Loan Document. Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

Section 1.8             Taxes. Borrower and any general partner or managing member of Borrower, if any, has filed all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed as of the date hereof and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower and any general partner or managing member, if any, as of the date hereof. Borrower and any general partner or managing member, if any, believe that their respective tax returns properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower and said general partner or managing member, if any, for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit. Borrower and the Property are free from any past due obligations for sales and payroll taxes.

Section 1.9             ERISA. Borrower (i) has no knowledge of any material liability that has been incurred or is expected to be incurred by Borrower that is or remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any “employee benefit plan”, as defined in section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or any “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any other benefit plan (other than a multi-employer plan) maintained, contributed to, or required to be contributed to by Borrower or by any entity that is under the common control with Borrower within the meaning of ERISA Section 4001(a)(14) (collectively, a “Plan”) or any plan that would be a Plan but for the fact that it is a multi-employer plan within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(37) and (ii) has made and shall continue to make when due all required contributions to all such Plans, if any. Each such Plan, if any, has been and will be administered in compliance with its terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Federal or state law and no action shall be taken or fail to be taken that would result in

7




the disqualification or loss of the tax-exempt status of any such Plan, if any, intended to be qualified or tax-exempt. The assets of Borrower do not constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.

Section 1.10           Property Compliance. The Premises and the Improvements and the current intended use thereof by Borrower comply in all material respects with all applicable restrictive covenants, zoning ordinances, subdivision and building codes, flood disaster laws, health and environmental laws and regulations and all other ordinances, orders or requirements issued by any state, federal or municipal authorities having or claiming jurisdiction over the Property, except as otherwise previously disclosed to Lender in writing. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Premises. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Premises is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Premises. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Premises have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The Premises and Improvements constitute one or more separate tax parcels for purposes of ad valorem taxation. The Premises and Improvements do not require any rights over, or restrictions against, other property in order to comply with any of the aforesaid governmental ordinances, orders or requirements.

Section 1.11           Utilities. All utility services necessary and sufficient for the full use, occupancy, operation and disposition of the Premises and the Improvements for their intended purposes are available to the Property, including water, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, gas, electric, cable and telephone facilities, through public rights-of-way or perpetual private easements approved by Lender. The Property is free from delinquent water charges, sewer rents, taxes and assessments.

Section 1.12           Public Access. All streets, roads, highways, bridges and waterways necessary for access to and full use, occupancy, operation and disposition of the Premises and the Improvements have been completed, have been dedicated to and accepted by the appropriate municipal authority and are open and available to the Premises and the Improvements without further condition or cost to Borrower. All curb cuts, driveways and traffic signals shown on the survey delivered to Lender prior to the execution and delivery of this Mortgage are existing and have been fully approved by the appropriate governmental authority.

Section 1.13           Litigation; Agreements. There are no judicial, administrative, mediation or arbitration actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower (or, if Borrower is a partnership or a limited liability company, any of its general partners or members) or the Property which, if adversely determined, would materially impair either the Property or Borrower’s ability to perform the covenants or obligations required to be performed under the Loan Documents. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any

8




material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the Property is bound.

Section 1.14           Physical Condition. As of the date of this Mortgage, (i) the Property is free from unrepaired damage caused by fire, flood, accident or other casualty, (ii) no part of the Premises or the Improvements has been taken in condemnation, eminent domain or like proceeding nor is any such proceeding pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge and belief, threatened or contemplated, (iii) except as may otherwise be disclosed in that certain Property Condition Report (the “Property Condition Report”) dated May 5, 2006 and prepared by IVI Due Diligence Services, Inc., the Improvements are structurally sound, in good repair and free of defects in materials and workmanship and have been constructed and installed in substantial compliance with the plans and specifications relating thereto, and (iv) all major building systems located within the Improvements, including, without limitation, the heating and air conditioning systems and the electrical and plumbing systems, are in good working order and condition.

Section 1.15           Contracts. Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct and complete copies of all Contracts and all amendments thereto or modifications thereof. Each Contract constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, is enforceable against any other party thereto. No default exists, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would exist, under any Contract which would, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Borrower or the Property. No Contract provides any party with the right to obtain a lien or encumbrance upon the Property superior to the lien of this Mortgage. All Contracts affecting the Property have been entered into at arms-length in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.

Section 1.16           Leases. Borrower has delivered (i) a true, correct and complete schedule (the “Rent Roll”) of all Leases affecting the Property as of the date hereof, which accurately and completely sets forth in all material respects for each such Lease, the following: the name of the Tenant, the Lease expiration date, extension and renewal provisions, the base rent payable, the security deposit held thereunder and any other material provisions of such Lease and (ii) true, correct and complete copies of all Leases described in the Rent Roll. Each Lease constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, is enforceable against the Tenant thereof. No default exists, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would exist, under any Lease which would, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Borrower or the Property. No Tenant under any Lease has, as of the date hereof, paid rent more than thirty (30) days in advance, and the rents under such Leases have not been waived, released, or otherwise discharged or compromised. All security deposits required under such Leases have been fully funded and are held by Borrower as permitted by applicable law. All work to be performed by Borrower under the Leases has been substantially performed, all contributions to be made by Borrower to the Tenants thereunder have been made and all other conditions precedent to each such Tenant’s obligations thereunder have been satisfied. Each Tenant under a Lease has entered into occupancy of the demised premises. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, each Tenant is free from bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement proceedings or a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

 

9




No Lease provides any party with the right to obtain a lien or encumbrance upon the Property superior to the lien of this Mortgage.

Section 1.17           Foreign Person. Borrower is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of §1445(f)(3) of the Code, and the related Treasury Department regulations, including temporary regulations.

Section 1.18           Management Agreement. The property management agreement relating to the Premises (the “Management Agreement”) is in full force and effect and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder by any party thereto beyond the expiration of applicable notice and grace periods thereunder and no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation by any party thereunder. The fee due under the Management Agreement, and the terms and provisions of the Management Agreement, are subordinate to this Mortgage.

Section 1.19           Fraudulent Transfer. Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

All of the representations and warranties in this Article I and elsewhere in the Loan Documents (i) shall survive for so long as any portion of the Debt remains owing to Lender and (ii) shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.

ARTICLE II

COVENANTS OF BORROWER

For the purposes of further securing the Debt and for the protection of the security of this Mortgage, for so long as the Debt or any part thereof remains unpaid, Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:

Section 2.1             Defense of Title. If, while this Mortgage is in force, the title to the Property or the interest of Lender therein shall be the subject, directly or indirectly, of any action at law or in equity, or be attached directly or indirectly, or endangered, clouded or adversely

10




affected in any manner, Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, shall take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of said title or interest, including the employment of counsel approved by Lender, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of claims made against said title or interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender determines that Borrower is not adequately performing its obligations under this Section, Lender may, without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies of Lender hereunder, take such steps with respect thereto as Lender shall deem necessary or proper and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

Section 2.2             Performance of Obligations. Borrower shall pay when due the principal of and the interest on the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note. Borrower shall also pay all charges, fees and other sums required to be paid by Borrower as provided in the Loan Documents, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and shall observe, perform and discharge all obligations, covenants and agreements to be observed, performed or discharged by Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents in accordance with their terms. Further, Borrower shall promptly and strictly perform and comply with all covenants, conditions, obligations and prohibitions required of Borrower in connection with any other document or instrument affecting title to the Property, or any part thereof, regardless of whether such document or instrument is superior or subordinate to this Mortgage.

Section 2.3             Insurance. Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense, maintain in force and effect on the Property at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect the following insurance:

(a)           Insurance against loss or damage to the Property by fire, lightning, windstorm, tornado, hail, terrorism, riot and civil commotion, vandalism, malicious mischief, burglary and theft and against loss and damage by such other, further and additional risks as may be now or hereafter embraced by a “special causes of loss” type of insurance policy. The amount of such insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements (as established by a Member of the Appraisal Institute appraisal), without reduction for depreciation. The determination of the replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to comply with the requirements of the insurer issuing such coverage or, at Lender’s election, by reference to such indices, appraisals or information as Lender determines in its reasonable discretion in order to reflect increased value due to inflation. Absent such annual adjustment, each policy shall contain inflation guard coverage insuring that the policy limit will be increased over time to reflect the effect of inflation. “Full replacement cost,” as used herein and elsewhere in this Section 2.3, means, with respect to the Improvements, the cost of replacing the Improvements without regard to deduction for depreciation, exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor. Borrower shall also maintain insurance against loss or damage to furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment and other items (whether personalty or fixtures) included in the Property and owned by Borrower from time to time to the extent applicable. Each policy shall contain a waiver of any co-

11




insurance provisions, subject to Lender’s approval. The maximum deductible shall be $100,000.00.

(b)           If the “special causes of loss” policy required in subsection (a) above excludes coverage for wind damage, Borrower shall maintain separate coverage for such risk. Furthermore, if the Property is located in the State of Florida, or within twenty five (25) miles of the ocean coast of the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Hawaii or South Carolina, windstorm insurance must be maintained in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of the Property or (ii) the maximum limit of coverage available with respect to the Improvements and Equipment. If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months general business income coverage specifically relating to wind damage shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be $100,000.00, which deductible shall only apply to “tier one” coverages.

(c)           Ordinance and law insurance is required if the Property is “non-conforming” with respect to any zoning requirements. Borrower shall maintain “Coverage A” against loss on value to the undamaged portion of the Improvements for the full replacement cost of the Improvements. Borrower shall also maintain “Coverage B” against the cost of demolition in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the total value of the Improvements and “Coverage C” against increased cost of reconstruction in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the total value of the Improvements. The maximum deductible shall be $100,000.00; provided that if the insurance required under this Section 2.3(c) is fully covered by the insurance required in Section 2.3(a) above, then no separate deductible shall be required, and the maximum deductible of $100,000.00 shall apply for the combined insurance for Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.3(c).

(d)           Commercial General Liability Insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage occurring on, in or about the Premises or the Improvements in amounts not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate plus umbrella coverage in an amount not less than $25,000,000. Lender hereby retains the right to periodically review the amount of said liability insurance being maintained by Borrower and to require an increase in the amount of said liability insurance should Lender deem an increase to be reasonably prudent under then existing circumstances. The maximum deductible shall be $25,000.00.

(e)           Equipment breakdown (also known as boiler and machinery) insurance is required if steam boilers or other pressure-fired vessels are in operation at the Premises. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the greater of the replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements housing such boiler or pressure-fired machinery or $2,000,000.00. If one or more large HVAC units is in operation at the Premises, “Systems Breakdowns” coverage shall be required, as determined by Lender. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the value of such unit(s). If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months general business income coverage specifically relating to boiler and machinery damage shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be $100,000.00. Co-insurance is prohibited.

(f)            If the Improvements or any part thereof is situated in an area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) as a special flood hazard area (Zone A or Zone V), flood insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of:  (i) the minimum amount

12




required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or the unpaid balance of the Debt if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured), or (ii) the maximum insurance available under the appropriate National Flood Insurance Administration program. If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months general business income coverage specifically relating to flood damage shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be $5,000.00 per building or a higher minimum amount as required by FEMA or other applicable law.

(g)           If the Property is situated in an area designated by FEMA as a high probability earthquake area (Zone 2b or greater), Lender may require a Probable Maximum Loss (“PML”) study to be conducted at the Property. If the PML study reveals a PML equal to or exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the full replacement cost of the Improvements, Borrower shall be required to maintain earthquake insurance in an amount equal to the PML percentage of full replacement cost of the Improvements. If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months Business Income coverage specifically relating to earthquake damage shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be no more than five percent (5%) of the value at risk or the lowest deductible available in the State in which the Property is located.

(h)           During the period of any construction, renovation or alteration of the existing Improvements which exceeds the lesser of 10% of the principal amount of the Note or $500,000, at Lender’s request, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Lender, may be required. During the period of any construction of any addition to the existing Improvements, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Lender, shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be $100,000.00.

(i)            When required by applicable law, ordinance or other regulation, Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance covering all persons subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the state in which the Property is located. Additionally, if Borrower has direct employees, Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance is required in an amount equal to $1,000,000 per occurrence. The maximum deductible shall be $25,000.00.

(j)            In addition to the specific risk coverages required herein, general business income (loss of rents) insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate Borrower for all Rents and Profits or income during a period of not less than eighteen (18) months. The “actual loss” amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the greater of (i) estimated Rents and Profits or income payable during the succeeding eighteen (18) month period or (ii) the projected operating expenses, capital expenses and debt service for the Property as approved by Lender in its sole discretion. The maximum deductible shall be $100,000.00.

(k)           Such other insurance on the Property or on any replacements or substitutions thereof or additions thereto as may from time to time be required by Lender against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of property similarly situated including, without limitation, Sinkhole, Mine Subsidence and Environmental insurance, due regard being given to the height and type of buildings, their construction, location, use and occupancy.

13




(l)            At Borrower’s election, in lieu of the maximum deductible required for insurance coverage required under Sections 2.3(d) of the Mortgage, Borrower shall be required to maintain a Self-insured Retention in connection with its General Liability Insurance coverage, in an amount not to exceed $150,000.00, provided that Borrower shall be personally liable for the payment of all claims within the limits of the Self-insured Retention, as if such obligation of Borrower were included as an exception to the Exculpation provisions in Section 2.6(c) of the Note and the Indemnitor shall also be liable for the payment of such claims pursuant to its Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement of even date herewith for the benefit of Lender.

(m)          Borrower shall maintain insurance against damage resulting from acts of terrorism, or an insurance policy without an exclusion for damages resulting from terrorism, on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsections (a) and (j) above, provided, however, that in the event the commercial property and business income insurance required under subsection (a) and (j) above excludes perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism, then Borrower shall maintain a separate commercial property and business income insurance policy for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts, except as provided for below) consistent with those required under subsection (a) and (j) above (a “Stand Alone Terrorism Insurance Policy”) all times during the term of the Loan; provided, that, Borrower shall not be required to maintain terrorism coverage for amounts in excess of the amount of coverage that, could be obtained under a Stand Alone Terrorism Insurance Policy upon the payment of an annual premium in an amount (the “Terrorism Insurance Cap”) equal to two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the cost of obtaining a Stand Alone Terrorism Insurance Policy as of the date hereof and in the event the annual premium for terrorism coverage satisfying the requirements of this Section 2.3 shall exceed the Terrorism Insurance Cap, Borrower shall only be required to obtain and maintain terrorism coverage for as much of the coverage as is available for a premium equal to the Terrorism Insurance Cap.

All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers fully licensed and authorized to do business in the state within which the Premises is located and who have and maintain a rating of at least (A) A or higher from Standard & Poors and (B) AX or higher from A.M. Best, (ii) contain the complete address of the Premises (or a complete legal description), (iii) be for terms of at least one year, with premium prepaid, and (iv) be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, content, forms of policies, method by which premiums are paid and expiration dates, and (v) include a standard, non-contributory, mortgagee clause naming EXACTLY:

Wachovia Bank, National Association,
its Successors and Assigns ATIMA
c/o Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Servicer
P.O. Box 563956
Charlotte, North Carolina ###-###-####

(A) as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies, (B) as the first mortgagee on all property insurance policies and (C) as the loss payee on all loss of rents or loss of business income insurance policies.

14




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

15




Section 2.4             Payment of Taxes. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid, except to the extent provision is actually made therefor pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Mortgage, all taxes and assessments which are or may become a lien on the Property or which are assessed against or imposed upon the Property. Borrower shall furnish Lender with receipts (or if receipts are not immediately available, with copies of canceled checks evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after they become available) showing payment of such taxes and assessments at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable delinquency date therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and upon notice to Lender, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted tax or assessment so long as (a) such contest is diligently pursued, (b) Lender determines, in its subjective opinion, that such contest suspends the obligation to pay the tax and that nonpayment of such tax or assessment will not result in the sale, loss, forfeiture or diminution of the Property or any part thereof or any interest of Lender therein, and (c) prior to the earlier of the commencement of such contest or the delinquency date of the asserted tax or assessment, Borrower deposits in the Impound Account (as hereinafter defined) an amount determined by Lender to be adequate to cover the payment of such tax or assessment and a reasonable additional sum to cover possible interest, costs and penalties; provided, however, that Borrower shall promptly cause to be paid any amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all interest, costs and penalties thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; and provided further that in any event each such contest shall be concluded and the taxes, assessments, interest, costs and penalties shall be paid prior to the date any writ or order is issued under which the Property may be sold, lost or forfeited.

Section 2.5             Casualty and Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt written notice of (i) the occurrence of any casualty affecting the Property or any portion thereof, (ii) the institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof or (iii) any written notification threatening the institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof or any written request to execute a deed in lieu of condemnation affecting the Property or any portion thereof. All insurance proceeds on the Property, and all causes of action, claims, compensation, awards and recoveries for any damage, condemnation or taking, or any deed in lieu of condemnation, affecting all or any part of the Property or for any damage or injury to it for any loss or diminution in value of the Property, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. Lender may participate in any suits or proceedings relating to any such proceeds, causes of action, claims, compensation, awards or recoveries, and Lender is hereby authorized, in its own name or in Borrower’s name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender any instruments required to permit such participation; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, and no event has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both would constitute an Event of Default (a “Default”), Lender shall not have the right to participate in the adjustment of any loss which is not in excess of the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $250,000. Lender shall apply any sums received by it under this Section first to the payment of all of its costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in obtaining those sums, and then, as follows:

16




(a)           In the event that less than (x) — fifteen percent (15%), in the case of condemnation, or thirty percent (30%), in the case of casualty, of the fair market value or net rentable square footage of the Improvements located on the Premises have been taken or destroyed and (y) Leases covering in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, and each Major Lease (as hereinafter defined) in effect as of such date shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for restoration, then if and so long as:

(1)           no Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and

(2)           the Property can, in Lender’s judgment, with diligent restoration or repair, be returned to a condition at least equal to the condition thereof that existed prior to the casualty or partial taking causing the loss or damage within the earlier to occur of (A) nine (9) months after the initial receipt of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards by either Borrower or Lender but in any event prior to the expiration or lapse of rent loss or general business income necessary to satisfy current obligations of the Loan, and (B) six (6) months prior to the stated maturity date of the Note, and

(3)           all necessary governmental approvals can be obtained to allow the rebuilding and reoccupancy of the Property as described in Section (a)(2) above, and

(4)           there are sufficient sums available (through insurance proceeds or condemnation awards and contributions by Borrower, the full amount of which shall, at Lender’s option, have been deposited with Lender) for such restoration or repair (including, without limitation, for any costs and expenses of Lender to be incurred in administering said restoration or repair) and for payment of principal and interest to become due and payable under the Note during such restoration or repair, and

(5)           the economic feasibility of the Improvements after such restoration or repair will be such that income from their operation is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to pay operating expenses of the Property and debt service on the Debt in full with the same coverage ratio considered by Lender in its determination to make the loan secured hereby, and

(6)           in the event that the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received as a result of such casualty or partial taking exceed the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $250,000, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, an appraisal report in form and substance satisfactory to Lender appraising the value of the Property as proposed to be restored or repaired to be not less than the appraised value of the Property considered by Lender in its determination to make the loan secured hereby, and

(7)           Borrower so elects by written notice delivered to Lender within five (5) days after settlement of the aforesaid insurance or condemnation claim.

Lender shall, solely for the purposes of such restoration or repair, advance so much of the remainder of such sums as may be required for such restoration or repair, and any funds deposited by Borrower therefor, to Borrower in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the prior approval by Lender of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Lender of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its discretion, with any remainder being applied by Lender for payment of the Debt in whatever order Lender directs in its absolute sole discretion, or at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to, or for the benefit of, Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate in its discretion.

(b)           In all other cases, namely, in the event that (x) more than fifteen percent (15%), in the case of condemnation, or thirty percent (30%), in the case of casualty, of the fair market value or net rentable square footage of the Improvements located on the Premises have been taken or destroyed (y) Leases covering in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, and each Major Lease (as hereinafter defined) in effect as of such date will not remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for restoration, or (z) Borrower does not elect to restore or repair the Property pursuant to clause (a) above or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of clause (a) above, then, in any of such events, Lender shall elect, in Lender’s absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of Lender’s security to do either of the following:  (1) accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any and all of the Debt to be immediately due and payable and apply the remainder of such sums received pursuant to this Section to the payment of the Debt in whatever order Lender directs in its absolute discretion, with any remainder being paid to Borrower, or (2) notwithstanding that Borrower may have elected not to restore or repair the Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.5(a)(7) above, so long as the proceeds of any such award with respect to any casualty or condemnation are made available to the Borrower for restoration, require Borrower to restore or repair the Property in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the deposit by Borrower with Lender, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, of any deficiency reasonably determined by Lender to be necessary in order to assure the availability of sufficient funds to pay for such restoration or repair, including Lender’s costs and expenses to be incurred in connection therewith, the prior approval by Lender of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Lender of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its discretion, and apply the remainder of such sums toward such restoration and repair, with any balance thereafter remaining being applied by Lender for payment of the Debt in whatever order Lender directs in its absolute sole discretion, or at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to, or for the benefit of, Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate in its discretion. No such prepayment of the Debt in connection with this Section 2.5(b) shall occasion prepayment penalties or premiums of any kind subject to and in accordance with Section1.5(c) of the Note.

18




Any reduction in the Debt resulting from Lender’s application of any sums received by it hereunder shall take effect only when Lender actually receives such sums and elects to apply such sums to the Debt and, in any event, the unpaid portion of the Debt shall remain in full force and effect and Borrower shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Partial payments received by Lender, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be applied first to the final payment due under the Note and thereafter to installments due under the Note in the inverse order of their due date. If Borrower elects or Lender directs Borrower to restore or repair the Property after the occurrence of a casualty or partial taking of the Property as provided above, Borrower shall promptly and diligently, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds or condemnation award, as appropriate, shall be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such casualty or partial taking in accordance with the foregoing provisions and Borrower shall pay to Lender all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in administering said rebuilding, restoration or repair, provided that Lender makes such proceeds or award available for such purpose. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as may be requested by Lender to confirm the foregoing assignment to Lender of any award, damage, insurance proceeds, payment or other compensation. Lender is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of Borrower (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this Section, to settle for, collect and receive any such awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittances therefor.

Section 2.6             Construction Liens. Borrower shall pay when due all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or materials delivered for the Premises or the Improvements; provided, however, that, Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith any such claim or demand, so long as it does so diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Lender and provided that neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result of such proceeding or contest. In the event Borrower shall contest any such claim or demand, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such contest and thereafter shall, upon Lender’s request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other security satisfactory to Lender to protect Lender’s interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful. If Borrower shall fail to immediately discharge or provide security against any such claim or demand as aforesaid, Lender may do so and any and all expenses incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

Section 2.7             Rents and Profits. As additional and collateral security for the payment of the Debt and cumulative of any and all rights and remedies herein provided for, Borrower hereby absolutely and presently assigns to Lender all existing and future Rents and Profits. Borrower hereby grants to Lender the sole, exclusive and immediate right, without taking possession of the Property, to demand, collect (by suit or otherwise), receive and give valid and sufficient receipts

19




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

Section 2.8             Leases. Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall not enter into any Lease (i) affecting 6,000 square feet or more of the Property or (ii) having a term of five (5) years or more (inclusive of any renewals or extensions) (each, a “Major Lease”) without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The request for approval of each such proposed new Lease shall be made to Lender in writing and shall state that, pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage, failure to approve or disapprove such proposed Lease within fifteen (15) business days is deemed approval and Borrower shall furnish to Lender

20




(and any loan servicer specified from time to time by Lender): (i) such biographical and financial information about the proposed Tenant as Lender may reasonably require in conjunction with its review, (ii) a copy of the proposed form of Lease, and (iii) a summary of the material terms of such proposed Lease (including, without limitation, rental terms and the term of the proposed lease and any options). It is acknowledged that Lender intends to include among its criteria for approval of any such proposed Lease the following: (i) such Lease shall be with a bona-fide arm’s-length Tenant; (ii) such Lease shall not contain any rental or other concessions which are not then customary and reasonable for similar properties and Leases in the market area of the Premises; (iii) such Lease shall provide that the Tenant pays for its expenses; (iv) the rental shall be at least at the market rate then prevailing for similar properties and leases in the market areas of the Premises; and (v) such Lease shall contain subordination and attornment provisions in form and content reasonably acceptable to Lender. Failure of Lender to approve or disapprove any such proposed Lease within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such written request and all the documents and information required to be furnished to Lender with such request shall be deemed approval, provided that the written request for approval specifically mentioned the same.

(a)           Prior to execution of any Leases of space in the Improvements after the date hereof, Borrower shall submit to Lender, for Lender’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, a copy of the form Lease Borrower plans to use in leasing space in the Improvements or at the Property. All such Leases of space in the Improvements or at the Property shall be on terms consistent with the terms for similar leases in the market area of the Premises, shall provide for free rent only if the same is consistent with prevailing market conditions and shall provide for market rents then prevailing in the market area of the Premises. Such Leases shall also provide for security deposits in reasonable amounts consistent with prevailing market conditions. Borrower shall also submit to Lender for Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, prior to the execution thereof, any proposed Lease of the Improvements or any portion thereof that differs materially and adversely from the aforementioned form Lease. Borrower shall not execute any Lease for all or a substantial portion of the Property, except for an actual occupancy by the Tenant, lessee or licensee thereunder, and shall at all times promptly and faithfully perform, or cause to be performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in all Leases with respect to the Property, now or hereafter existing, on the part of the landlord, lessor or licensor thereunder to be kept and performed. Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within ten (10) days after a request by Lender to do so, but in any event by January 1 of each year, a current Rent Roll, certified by Borrower as being true and correct, containing the names of all Tenants with respect to the Property, the terms of their respective Leases, the spaces occupied and the rentals or fees payable thereunder and the amount of each Tenant’s security deposit. Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of each such Lease. Borrower shall not do or suffer to be done any act, or omit to take any action, that might result in a default by the landlord, lessor or licensor under any such Lease or allow the Tenant thereunder to withhold payment of rent or cancel or terminate same and shall not further assign any such Lease or any such Rents and Profits. Borrower, at no cost or expense to Lender, shall enforce, short of termination, the performance and observance of each and every condition and covenant of each of the parties under such Leases and Borrower shall not anticipate, discount, release, waive, compromise or otherwise discharge any rent payable under any of the Leases. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, modify any of the Leases, terminate or accept the surrender of any Leases, waive or release any other party

21




from the performance or observance of any obligation or condition under such Leases except, with respect only to Leases which are not Major Leases, in the normal course of business in a manner which is consistent with sound and customary leasing and management practices for similar properties in the community in which the Property is located. Lender reserves the right to condition its consent to any termination or surrender of any Lease upon the payment to Lender of any lease termination or other payment due from the applicable tenant in connection with such termination or surrender. Borrower and Lender agree that all such sums paid to Lender shall be held by Lender as a tenant improvement and leasing commission reserve and shall be considered a “Reserve” as described in Section 3.1 hereof and all such amounts shall be held, maintained, applied and disbursed in accordance with Lender’s standard procedures relating to similar reserves. Borrower shall not permit the prepayment of any rents under any of the Leases for more than one (1) month prior to the due date thereof.

(b)           Each Lease executed after the date hereof affecting any of the Premises or the Improvements must provide, in a manner approved by Lender, that the Tenant will recognize as its landlord, lessor or licensor, as applicable, and attorn to any person succeeding to the interest of Borrower upon any foreclosure of this Mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Each such Lease shall also provide that, upon request of said successor-in-interest, the Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming its attornment as provided for in this Section; provided, however, that neither Lender nor any successor-in-interest shall be bound by any payment of rent for more than one (1) month in advance, or any amendment or modification of said Lease made without the express written consent of Lender or said successor-in-interest.

(c)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Mortgage, whether before or after the whole principal sum secured hereby is declared to be immediately due or whether before or after the institution of legal proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage, forthwith, upon demand of Lender, Borrower shall surrender to Lender, and Lender shall be entitled to take actual possession of, the Property or any part thereof personally, or by its agent or attorneys. In such event, Lender shall have, and Borrower hereby gives and grants to Lender, the right, power and authority to make and enter into Leases with respect to the Property or portions thereof for such rents and for such periods of occupancy and upon conditions and provisions as Lender may deem desirable in its sole discretion, and Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that the term of any such Lease may extend beyond the date of any foreclosure sale of the Property, it being the intention of Borrower that in such event Lender shall be deemed to be and shall be the attorney-in-fact of Borrower for the purpose of making and entering into Leases of parts or portions of the Property for the rents and upon the terms, conditions and provisions deemed desirable to Lender in its sole discretion and with like effect as if such Leases had been made by Borrower as the owner in fee simple of the Property free and clear of any conditions or limitations established by this Mortgage. The power and authority hereby given and granted by Borrower to Lender shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall not be revocable by Borrower so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof. In connection with any action taken by Lender pursuant to this Section, Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Borrower resulting from any failure to let the Property, or any part thereof, or from any other act or omission of Lender in managing the Property, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease covering the Property or any part

22




thereof or under or by reason of this instrument or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder. Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify Lender for, and hold Lender harmless from, any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, loss or damage which may or might be incurred by Lender under any such Lease or under this Mortgage or by the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any such Lease other than those finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Should Lender incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including, without limitation, costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender by Borrower on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Nothing in this Section shall impose on Lender any duty, obligation or responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property, or for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any such Lease, nor shall it operate to make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the Tenants or by any other parties or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property. Borrower hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of Lender with respect to the Property taken under this Section.

(d)           If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause the applicable tenant to furnish, to Lender financial data and/or financial statements in accordance with Regulation AB (as defined herein) for any tenant of any Property if, in connection with a securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in such securitization such that such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor (as defined herein); provided, however, that in the event the related lease does not require the related tenant to provide the foregoing information, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable tenant to furnish such information.

Section 2.9             Alienation and Further Encumbrances.

(a)           Borrower acknowledges that Lender has relied upon the principals of Borrower and their experience in owning and operating the Property and properties similar to the Property in connection with the closing of the loan evidenced by the Note. Accordingly, except as specifically allowed hereinbelow in this Section and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.6 hereof, in the event that the Property or any part thereof or direct or indirect interest therein or direct or indirect interest in Borrower shall be sold, conveyed, disposed of, alienated, hypothecated, leased (except to Tenants of space in the Improvements in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 hereof), assigned, pledged, mortgaged, further encumbered or otherwise transferred or Borrower shall be divested of its title to the Property or any direct or indirect interest therein, in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (each, a “Transfer”), without the prior written consent of Lender being first obtained, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, then the same shall constitute an Event of Default and Lender shall have the right, at its option, to declare any or all of the Debt,

23




irrespective of the maturity date specified in the Note, immediately due and payable and to otherwise exercise any of its other rights and remedies contained in Article V hereof.

(b)           A Transfer within the meaning of this Section 2.9 shall be deemed to include, among other things: (i) an installment sales agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; and (ii) an agreement by Borrower leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents and Profits.

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Transfers shall be permitted under this Section 2.9 without the prior consent of Lender: (i) a Transfer of corporate stock, limited partnership interests and/or non-managing member interests in Borrower, or in any partner or member of Borrower, or any direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner of Borrower, so long as following such Transfer (whether in one or a series of transactions) or, with respect to any creation or issuance of new limited partnership interests or membership interests, not more than 49% of the beneficial economic interest in Borrower (whether directly or indirectly) has been transferred in the aggregate, there is no Change of Control and the persons responsible for the day to day management of the Property and Borrower remain unchanged following such Transfer, (ii) any involuntary Transfer caused by the death of Borrower, or any partner, shareholder, joint venturer, member or beneficial owner of a trust, or any direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner of Borrower, so long as Borrower is promptly reconstituted, if required, following such death and so long as there is no Change of Control and those persons responsible for the day to day management of the Property and Borrower remain unchanged as a result of such death or any replacement management or controlling parties are approved by Lender, and (iii) a Transfer comprised of gifts for estate planning purposes of any individual’s interests in Borrower, or in any of Borrower’s partners, members, shareholders, beneficial owners of a trust or joint venturers, or any direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner of Borrower, to the spouse or any lineal descendant of such individual, or to a trust for the benefit of any one or more of such individual, spouse or lineal descendant, so long as Borrower is reconstituted promptly, if required, following such gift and so long as there is no Change of Control and those persons responsible for the day to day management of the Property and Borrower remain unchanged following such gift. Notwithstanding any provision of this Mortgage to the contrary, no person or entity may become an owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower, which interest exceeds forty-nine (49%) percent, without Lender’s prior written consent unless Borrower has complied with the provisions set forth in Section 2.9(d) below. For purposes of this Section 2.9(c), “Change of Control” shall mean a change in the identity of the individual or entities or group of individuals or entities who have the right, by virtue of any partnership agreement, articles of incorporation, by-laws, articles of organization, operating agreement or any other agreement, with or without taking any formative action, to cause Borrower to take some action or to prevent, restrict or impede Borrower from taking some action which, in either case, Borrower could take or could refrain from taking were it not for the rights of such individuals. Notwithstanding any provision of this Mortgage to the contrary, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender’s prior consent shall not be required with respect to any of the following: (i) the creation, issuance or transfer of limited partnership interests in Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Mack-Cali Partnership”), so long as (x) Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Mack-Cali Realty”), maintains at least a 51%

24




limited partnership interest in Mack-Cali Partnership and remains as the general partner of Mack-Cali Partnership, and (y) the managerial control of Mack-Cali Partnership remains unchanged; provided, that to the extent such transfer of interests in Mack-Cali Partnership results in a change in the managerial control of Mack-Cali Partnership, unless due to a public offering of stock of Mack-Cali Realty, merger, reorganization or consolidation, such transfer of interests in Mack-Cali Partnership shall comply with the conditions of 1.13(d) below; and (ii) so long as the securities of Mack-Cali Realty are publicly traded, the acquisition, issuance or transfer (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) of securities in Mack-Cali Realty which does not result in a Change in Control of Borrower, Mack-Cali Partnership or Mack-Cali Realty, provided further that (x) Mack-Cali Realty shall not merge, reorganize or consolidate into another entity (i.e., where Mack-Cali Realty is not the surviving entity) (a “Merger”), and (y) any transfer of interests or series of transfers in interests in Mack-Cali Realty shall not result in more than 49% of Mack-Cali Realty being owned by any single person or entity (or related group of people or entities) (a “Majority Transfer”); provided, however, that a Merger or Majority Transfer shall not be prohibited, or constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents so long as, with respect to such Merger or Majority Transfer (a) to the extent permitted by law, Lender receives not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such proposed Merger or Majority Transfer, (b) the surviving entity executes any and all documents as are reasonably necessary to evidence the assumption of Mack-Cali Realty’s obligations relative to the loan evidenced by the Note and delivers such certificates and opinions covering such subjects (including, but not limited to, nonconsolidation) as may be reasonably required by Lender, (c) the surviving entity shall have a net worth of not less than $200,000,000.00 as of the date of the completion of such Merger or Majority Transfer, (d) if, as a result of such Merger or Majority Transfer, the manager of the Property changes, the replacement manager is a “Qualified Manager” (as defined below) or such replacement manager is approved by Lender, and (e) Borrower satisfies the provisions of paragraph (12) of Section 1.13(d) below and causes to be delivered to Lender a substantive non-consolidation opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and prepared by counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender with respect to the transferee and such of its constituent entities and/or affiliates, as Lender may in its discretion require. As used herein, the term “Qualified Manager” shall mean a property manager of the Property which (i) is a reputable management company having at least five (5) years’ experience in the management of commercial properties with similar uses as the Property and in the jurisdiction in which the Property are located, (ii) has, for at least five (5) years prior to its engagement as property manager, managed at least (5) properties of the same property type as the Property, (iii) at the time of its engagement as property manager has leasable square footage of the same property type as the Property equal to the lesser of (A) 1,000,000 leasable square feet and (B) five (5) times the leasable square feet of the Property and (iv) is not the subject of a bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding. So long as the provisions of this Section 2.9(c) are fully satisfied in all respects and provided that there is no Change in Control of Borrower, Mack-Cali Realty or Mack-Cali Partnership, (A) at any time after the execution of this Mortgage, Gale SLG NJ Mezz LLC (“Mezz”) may merge into Gale SLG NJ Operating Partnership, L.P. (“OP”) and the surviving entity (“Surviving OP”) may be renamed, and (B) at any time after May 1, 2007 and/or following the merger described above in part (A), Surviving OP may make an in-kind distribution of its direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower to its partners in proportion to their respective percentage ownership interests (as such percentage interests may be reduced to reflect the cash-out of one or more of the limited partners (other than Mack-Green-Gale LLC (“MGG”)) and MGG may make an in-

25




kind distribution of its direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower to (i) Mack Cali Ventures, L.L.C. (“MCV”) or Gale SLG NJ LLC (“Gale SLG”) in accordance with the same percentage interests set forth in the operating agreement of MGG or (ii) one or more limited liability companies owned by MCV and Gale SLG in accordance with the same percentage interests set forth in the operating agreement of MGG (i.e. the ninety-five percent (95%) Class A interests in MGG shall not be reduced and shall be distributed to MCV or a limited liability company owned by MCV).

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Lender shall consent to (x) one or more Transfers of the Property in its entirety, or (y) one or more Transfers of direct or indirect interests in the Borrower for which consent is required under this Section 2.9  (any such hereinafter, a “Sale”) to any person or entity provided that, for each Sale, each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:

(1)           No Default and no Event of Default is then continuing hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents;

(2)           Borrower gives Lender written notice of the terms of such prospective Sale not less than sixty (60) days before the date on which such Sale is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, gives Lender all such information concerning the proposed transferee of the Property or the proposed owner of the direct or indirect interest in the Borrower for which consent is required under this Section 2.9, as applicable (hereinafter, “Buyer”) as Lender would require in evaluating an initial extension of credit to a borrower and pays to Lender a non-refundable application fee in the amount of $5,000. Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed Buyer. In determining whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed Buyer, Lender shall consider the Buyer’s experience and track record in owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, the Buyer’s financial strength, the Buyer’s general business standing and the Buyer’s relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders and other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Lender’s agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based on what Lender determines to be commercially reasonable in Lender’s sole discretion and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem appropriate;

(3)           Borrower pays Lender, concurrently with the closing of such Sale, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and Rating Agency fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the Sale, plus an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note on the first Sale, and one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note on each Sale thereafter;

(4)           In the event that such Sale is a Transfer of the Property in its entirety, the Buyer assumes and agrees to pay the Debt subject to the provisions of Section 6.27 hereof and, in all cases (whether such Sale is a Transfer of the Property in its entirety or a Transfer of direct or indirect interests in the Borrower for which consent is

26




required under this Section 2.9), prior to or concurrently with the closing of such Sale, the Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption and delivers such legal opinions (including, without limitation, a REMIC opinion) as Lender may require;

(5)           A party associated with the Buyer approved by Lender in its sole discretion assumes the obligations of the current Indemnitor under its guaranty or indemnity agreement and environmental indemnity agreement and such party associated with the Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, a substitution agreement or a new guaranty or indemnity agreement or environmental indemnity agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and delivers such legal opinions as Lender may require;

(6)           Borrower and the Buyer execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, new financing statements or financing statement amendments (and new financing statements as may be necessary) and any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;

Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section 2.16 shall be exercisable by Lender, and any and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Borrower with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, notwithstanding the fact that such remedies were exercised and such payments made and costs incurred by Lender after the filing by Borrower of a voluntary case or the filing against Borrower of an involuntary case pursuant to or within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, Title 11 U.S.C., or after any similar action pursuant to any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable to Borrower, Lender, any Indemnitor, the Debt or any of the Loan Documents.

All of the Collateral shall be kept at the location of the Premises except as otherwise required by the terms of the Loan Documents. Borrower shall not use any of the Collateral in violation of any applicable statute, ordinance or insurance policy.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender shall have the rights and remedies as prescribed in this Mortgage, or as prescribed by general law, or as prescribed by any applicable Uniform Commercial Code, all at Lender’s election. Any disposition of the Collateral may be conducted by an employee or agent of Lender. Any person, including both Borrower and Lender, shall be eligible to purchase any part or all of the Collateral at any such disposition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like (including, without limitation, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Lender shall have the right to enter upon the Premises and the Improvements or any real property where any of the property which is the subject of the security interest granted herein is located to take possession of, assemble and collect the same or to render it unusable, or Borrower, upon demand of Lender, shall assemble such property and make it available to Lender at the Premises, or at a place which is mutually agreed upon or, if no such place is agreed upon, at a place reasonably designated by Lender to be reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower. If notice is required by law, Lender shall give Borrower at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of such property, or adjournments thereof, or of the time of or after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made, and if such notice is sent to Borrower, as the same is provided for the mailing of notices herein, it is hereby deemed that such notice shall be and is reasonable notice to Borrower. No such notice is necessary for any such property which is perishable, threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Any sale made pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held

34




contemporaneously with a foreclosure sale as provided in Section 5.1(e) hereof upon giving the same notice with respect to the sale of the Property hereunder as is required under said Section 5.1(e).

Borrower shall not grant any easement or right-of-way with respect to all or any portion of the Premises or the Improvements without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower shall comply with all easements affecting the Property. The purchaser at any foreclosure sale hereunder may, at its discretion, disaffirm any easement or right-of-way granted in violation of any of the provisions of this Mortgage and may take immediate possession of the Property free from, and despite the terms of, such grant of easement or right-of-way. If Lender consents to the grant of an easement or right-of-way, Lender agrees to grant such consent without charge to Borrower other than expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in the review of Borrower’s request and in the preparation of documents effecting the subordination.

Borrower shall not use or occupy, or allow the use or occupancy of, the Property in any manner which violates any Lease of or any other agreement applicable to the Property or any applicable law, rule, regulation or order or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes void, voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto.

It is agreed that any future advances made by Lender to or for the benefit of Borrower from time to time under this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents and whether or not such advances are obligatory or are made at the option of Lender, or otherwise, made for any purpose, and all interest accruing thereon, shall be equally secured by this Mortgage and shall have the same priority as all amounts, if any, advanced as of the date hereof and shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage.

To the full extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that Borrower shall not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, moratorium or extension, or any law now or hereafter in force providing for the reinstatement of the Debt prior to any sale of the Property to be made pursuant to any provisions contained herein or prior to the entering of any decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction, or any right under any statute to redeem all or any part of the Property so sold. Borrower, for Borrower and Borrower’s successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Property, to the full extent permitted by law, hereby knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily, with and upon the advice of competent counsel:  (a) waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all rights of valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, reinstatement and notice of election or intention to mature or declare due the Debt (except such notices as are specifically provided for herein); (b) waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all right to a

Borrower covenants and agrees that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against Borrower, Borrower shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise shall not seek pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights of Lender against any guarantor or indemnitor of the secured obligations or any other party liable with respect thereto by virtue of any indemnity, guaranty or otherwise.

Section 2.25           Attorney-in-Fact Provisions. With respect to any provision of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document whereby Borrower grants to Lender a power-of-attorney, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred under this Mortgage, Lender shall first give Borrower written notice at least three (3) days prior to acting under such power, which notice shall demand that Borrower first take the proposed action within such period and advising Borrower that if it fails to do so, Lender will so act under the power; provided, however, that, in the event that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred, or if necessary to prevent imminent death, serious injury, damage, loss, forfeiture or diminution in value to the Property or any surrounding property or to prevent any adverse affect on Lender’s interest in the Property, Lender may act immediately and without first giving such notice. In such event, Lender will give Borrower notice of such action as soon thereafter as reasonably practical.

For the purposes hereof, “Toxic Mold” shall mean any mold or fungus at the Property which is of a type (i) that might pose a significant risk to human health or the environment or (ii) that would negatively impact the value of the Property.

(b)           Borrower has not received nor to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, information and belief has there been issued, any notice, notification, demand, request for information, citation, summons, or order in any way relating to any actual, alleged or potential violation or liability arising under Environmental Laws.

(c)           Neither the Property, nor to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, information and belief, any property to which Borrower has, in connection with the maintenance or operation of the Property, directly or indirectly transported or arranged for the transportation of any Hazardous Substances is listed or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, information and belief, proposed for listing on the National Priorities List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA, or CERCLIS (as defined in CERCLA) or on any similar federal or state list of sites requiring environmental investigation or clean-up.

(d)           Borrower shall comply with all applicable Environmental Laws. Borrower shall keep the Property or cause the Property to be kept free from Hazardous Substances (except those substances used by Borrower or any Tenant in the ordinary course of their respective businesses and except in compliance with all Environmental Laws and where such Hazardous Substances  could not reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under Environmental Laws) and in compliance with all Environmental Laws, Borrower shall not install or use any underground storage tanks, shall expressly prohibit the use, generation, handling, storage, production, processing and disposal of Hazardous Substances by all Tenants in quantities or conditions that would violate or give rise to any obligation to take remedial or other action under any applicable Environmental Laws.

inquiry or proceeding concerning Borrower or the Property pursuant to any Environmental Laws or otherwise relating to Hazardous Substances, or (v) the discovery of any occurrence, condition or state of facts which would render any representation or warranty contained in this Mortgage incorrect in any respect if made at the time of such discovery. Immediately upon receipt of same, Borrower, shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all requests for information, complaints, citations, summonses, orders, notices, reports or other communications, documents or instruments in any way relating to any actual, alleged or potential violation or liability of any nature whatsoever arising under Environmental Laws and relating to the Property or to Borrower. Borrower shall remedy or cause to be remedied in a timely manner (and in any event within the time period permitted by applicable Environmental Laws) any violation of Environmental Laws or any condition that could give rise to liability under Environmental Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall, promptly and regardless of the source of the contamination or threat to the environment or human health, at its own expense, take all actions as shall be necessary or prudent, for the clean-up of any and all portions of the Property or other affected property, including, without limitation, all investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (and in all events in a manner satisfactory to Lender) and shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense to Lender, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted against the Property. In the event Borrower fails to do so, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, cause the Property or other affected property to be freed from any Hazardous Substances or otherwise brought into conformance with Environmental Laws and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its agents and employees access to the Property and a license to remove any items deemed by Lender to be Hazardous Substances and to do all things Lender shall deem necessary to bring the Property into conformance with Environmental Laws.

(f)            Borrower covenants and agrees, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to indemnify, defend (at trial and appellate levels, and with attorneys, consultants and experts acceptable to Lender), and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all liens, damages (including without limitation, punitive or exemplary damages), losses, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liability), obligations, settlement payments, penalties, fines, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and disbursements actually incurred in investigating, defending, settling or prosecuting any claim, litigation or proceeding) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Lender or the Property, and arising directly or indirectly from or out of:  (i) any violation or alleged violation of, or liability or alleged liability under, any Environmental Law; (ii) the presence, release or threat of release of or exposure to any Hazardous Substances or radon on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas, regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of Borrower; (iii) any transport, treatment, recycling, storage, disposal or arrangement therefor of Hazardous Substances whether on the Property, originating from the Property, or otherwise associated with Borrower or any

The indemnity set forth in this Section 2.27 shall also include any diminution in the value of the security afforded by the Property or any future reduction in the sales price of the Property by reason of any matter set forth in this Section 2.27. The foregoing indemnity shall specifically not include any such costs relating to Hazardous Substances which are initially placed on, in or under the Property after foreclosure or other taking of title to the Property by Lender or its successor or assigns. Lender’s rights under this Section shall survive payment in full of the Debt and shall be in addition to all other rights of Lender under this Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

(g)           Upon Lender’s request, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default or at such other time as Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that Hazardous Substances are or have been released, stored or disposed of on the Property, or on property contiguous with the Property, or that the Property may be in violation of the Environmental Laws, Borrower shall perform or cause to be performed, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense and in scope, form and substance satisfactory to Lender, an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on the Property, the compliance or non-compliance status of the Property and the operations conducted thereon with applicable Environmental Laws, or an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by an engineering or consulting firm approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of friable asbestos or substances containing asbestos or lead or substances containing lead or lead based paint (“Lead Based Paint”) on the Property. If Borrower fails to provide reports of such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may order the same, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Property and an irrevocable license to undertake such inspection or audit. The cost of such inspection or audit, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

(h)           Reference is made to that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith by and among Borrower and any other principal signatory named therein in favor of Lender (the “Environmental Indemnity Agreement”). The provisions of this Mortgage and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement shall be read together to maximize the coverage with respect to the subject matter thereof, as determined by Lender.

42




(i)            If prior to the date hereof, it was determined that the Property contains asbestos-containing materials (“ACM’s”), Borrower covenants and agrees to institute, within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, an operations and maintenance program (the “Maintenance Program”) designed by an environmental consultant, satisfactory to Lender, with respect to ACM’s, consistent with “Guidelines for Controlling Asbestos-Containing Materials in Buildings” (USEPA, 1985) and other relevant guidelines, and such Maintenance Program will hereafter continuously remain in effect until the Debt secured hereby is repaid in full. In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower shall inspect and maintain all ACM’s on a regular basis and ensure that all ACM’s shall be maintained in a condition that prevents exposure of residents to ACM’s at all times. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Lender may require (i) periodic notices or reports to Lender in form, substance and at such intervals as Lender may specify, (ii) an amendment to such operations and maintenance program to address changing circumstances, laws or other matters, (iii) at Borrower’s sole expense, supplemental examination of the Property by consultants specified by Lender, and (iv) variation of the operations and maintenance program in response to the reports provided by any such consultants.

 

(j)            If, prior to the date hereof, it was determined that the Property contains Lead Based Paint, Borrower had prepared an assessment report describing the location and condition of the Lead Based Paint (a “Lead Based Paint Report”). If, at any time hereafter, Lead Based Paint is suspected of being present on the Property, Borrower agrees, at its sole cost and expense and within twenty (20) days thereafter, to cause to be prepared a Lead Based Paint Report prepared by an expert, and in form, scope and substance, acceptable to Lender. Borrower agrees that if it has been, or if at any time hereafter it is, determined that the Property contains Lead Based Paint, on or before thirty (30) days following (i) the date hereof, if such determination was made prior to the date hereof or (ii) such determination, if such determination is hereafter made, as applicable, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expenses, develop and implement, and thereafter diligently and continuously carry out (or cause to be developed and implemented and thereafter diligently and continually to be carried out), an operations, abatement and maintenance plan for the Lead Based Paint on the Property, which plan shall be prepared by an expert, and be in form, scope and substance, acceptable to Lender (together with any Lead Based Paint Report, the “O&M Plan”). If an O&M Plan has been prepared prior to the date hereof, Borrower agrees to diligently and continually carry out (or cause to be carried out) the provisions thereof. Compliance with the O&M Plan shall require or be deemed to require, without limitation, the proper preparation and maintenance of all records, papers and forms required under the Environmental Laws.

Section 2.28           Indemnification; Subrogation.

(a)           Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless against: (i) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made relating to the Property or the Debt, and (ii) any and all liability, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees) of whatever kind or nature which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by Lender in connection with the Debt, this Mortgage, the Property, or any part thereof, or the exercise by Lender of any rights or remedies granted to it under this Mortgage or arise from the information provided in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Borrower to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against

43




any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses enacted against, imposed on or incurred by Lender by reason of Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b)           If Lender is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened or brought against Lender concerning the Debt, this Mortgage, the Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or the construction, maintenance, operation or occupancy or use thereof, then Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against all liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Lender in any such litigation or claim, whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment. If Lender commences an action against Borrower to enforce any of the terms hereof or to prosecute any breach by Borrower of any of the terms hereof or to recover any sum secured hereby, Borrower shall pay to Lender its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. The right to such attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action, and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. If Borrower breaches any term of this Mortgage, Lender may engage the services of an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder, and in the event of such engagement following any breach by Borrower, Borrower shall pay Lender reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Lender, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Borrower by reason of such breach. All references to “attorneys” in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Mortgage shall include, without limitation, any attorney or law firm engaged by Lender and Lender’s in-house counsel, and all references to “fees and expenses” in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Mortgage shall include, without limitation, any fees of such attorney or law firm, any appellate counsel fees, if applicable, and any allocation charges and allocation costs of Lender’s in-house counsel.

(c)           A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by Borrower from its insurance carrier and, consequently, Borrower waives any and all right to claim or recover against Lender, its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to Borrower, the Property, Borrower’s property or the property of others under Borrower’s control from any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of this Mortgage.

(b)           In the event Borrower is a single-member Delaware limited liability company, the limited liability company agreement of Borrower (the “LLC Agreement”) shall provide that (i) upon the occurrence of any event that causes the sole member of Borrower (“Member”) to cease to be the member of Borrower (other than (A) upon an assignment by Member of all of its limited liability company interest in Borrower and the admission of the transferee, or (B) the resignation of Member and the admission of an additional member in either case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement), any person acting as Independent Director of Borrower shall without any action of any other Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be the member of Borrower, automatically be admitted to Borrower (“Special Member”) and shall continue Borrower without dissolution and (ii) Special Member may not resign from Borrower or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (A) a successor Special Member has been admitted to Borrower as Special Member in accordance with requirements of Delaware law and (B) such successor Special Member has also accepted its appointment as an Independent Director. The LLC Agreement shall further provide that (i) Special Member shall automatically cease to be a member of Borrower upon the admission to Borrower of a substitute Member, (ii) Special Member shall be a member of Borrower that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of Borrower and has no right to receive any distributions of Borrower assets, (iii) pursuant to Section 18-301 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Act”), Special Member shall not be required to make any capital contributions to Borrower and shall not receive a limited liability company interest in Borrower, (iv) Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind Borrower, and

47




(v) except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating to, Borrower, including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or conversion of Borrower; provided, however, such prohibition shall not limit the obligations of Special Member, in its capacity as Independent Director, to vote on such matters required by the Loan Documents or the LLC Agreement. In order to implement the admission to Borrower of Special Member, Special Member shall execute a counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior to its admission to Borrower as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of Borrower.

(c)           Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of Member shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member in Borrower, agree in writing (i) to continue Borrower and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of Borrower, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member of Borrower in Borrower. Any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any creditors rights laws shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower shall continue without dissolution. The LLC Agreement shall provide that each of Member and Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve Borrower upon the occurrence of any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any creditors rights laws, or the occurrence of an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower.

As used in this Section 2.29, “Independent Director” shall mean a duly appointed member of the board of directors of any SPE Corporation or board of managers or of a single member Delaware limited liability company which is an SPE who is provided by a nationally-recognized company that provides professional independent directors who shall not have been at the time of initial appointment or at any time while serving as an Independent Director, and may not have been at any time (i) a stockholder, director, officer, employee, partner, attorney or counsel of such SPE Corporation, single member Delaware limited liability company which is an SPE, Borrower or any affiliate of any of them, (ii) a customer, supplier or other Person who derives any of its purchases or revenues from its activities with such SPE Corporation, single member Delaware limited liability company which is an SPE, Borrower or any affiliate of any of them, (iii) a Person or other entity controlling or under common control with any such stockholder, partner, customer, supplier or other Person, or (iv) a member of the immediate family of any such stockholder, director, officer, employee, partner, customer, supplier or other Person. As used in this definition, the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies or activities of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. As used herein, the term “affiliate” shall mean:  (1)  any person or entity directly or indirectly owning, controlling or holding with power to vote ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding voting securities or interests of such other person or entity; (2) any person or entity ten percent (10%) or more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly owned, controlled or held with power to vote by such other person or entity; (3) any person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such other person or entity; (4) any officer, director or partner of such other person or entity; (5) if such other person or entity is an

At all times throughout the term of the Loan, including after giving effect to any Transfers permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, none of the funds of Borrower or any Indemnitor, as applicable, that are used to repay the Loan shall be derived from any unlawful activity, with the result that the investment in Borrower or any Indemnitor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of law.

Section 2.32           ERISA.

(a)           Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.

(b)           Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of this Mortgage, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (i) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan”

Section 2.34           Certificates of Occupancy. Borrower acknowledges that it is not in possession of certain certificates of occupancy for the Building and/or Improvements located on the Property (“Certificates of Occupancy”). Borrower undertakes, covenants and agrees, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or caused to be obtained any one of the following:  (i) copies of all missing Certificates of Occupancy, or if same were never issued, to take any and all required actions in connection therewith in order to obtain the Certificates of Occupancy as may be required by the appropriate municipality or governmental authority, (ii) proof reasonably acceptable to Lender that a Certificate of Occupancy is not required by the applicable municipality for the Property, for which a legal opinion in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender shall be deemed to be satisfactory proof thereof, (iii) proof reasonably acceptable to Lender that failure to have a Certificate of Occupancy is not a violation of law and that the buildings missing a Certificate of Occupancy can remain legally occupied, for which a legal opinion in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender shall be deemed to be satisfactory proof thereof, (iv) a letter from the municipality stating either (A) that the Property predates any requirement for Certificate of Occupancy or (B) that although it no longer maintains copies of Certificates of Occupancy the Property can remain legally occupied, in either case, with proof reasonably acceptable to Lender that no material zoning code or building code violations exist with respect to the Property, or (v) a letter from the applicable municipality stating that such municipality does not have the Certificates of Occupancy because they have

50




been lost, misplaced or purged and that the Property can remain legally occupied ((i)-(v) above, collectively, a “Certificate of Occupancy Satisfaction Event”). Borrower’s failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any of the aforementioned items shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Security Instrument. Borrower shall keep Lender apprised periodically, which shall be on a basis reasonably acceptable to Lender, on the progress of Borrower’s efforts to satisfy the foregoing obligation. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.34 with respect to each missing Certificate of Occupancy shall be deemed satisfied by the occurrence of a Certificate of Occupancy Satisfaction Event with respect to such missing Certificate of Occupancy.

Section 2.35           Violations. Borrower undertakes, covenants and agrees, to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct and satisfy any and all violations against the Property (including, without limitation, zoning, floor area, building code and fire and safety) (the “Property Violations”). Borrower’s failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct and satisfy any and all Property Violations shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Security Instrument. Borrower shall keep Lender apprised periodically, which shall be on a basis reasonably acceptable to Lender, on the progress of the satisfaction and release of the Property Violations.

ARTICLE III

RESERVES AND CASH MANAGEMENT

Section 3.1             Reserves Generally.

(a)           As additional security for the payment and performance by Borrower of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, conveys, pledges, mortgages, transfers, delivers, deposits, sets over and confirms unto Lender, and hereby grants to Lender a security interest in, (i) the Impound Account, the Immediate Repairs Reserve, the Replacement Reserve, the Outstanding TILC Reserve, the Free Rent Reserve, the Rollover Reserve, as applicable (each as hereinafter defined) and any other reserve or escrow account established pursuant to the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document (collectively, the “Reserves”), (ii) the accounts into which the Reserves have been deposited, (iii) all insurance on said accounts, (iv) all accounts, contract rights and general intangibles or other rights and interests pertaining thereto, (v) all sums now or hereafter therein or represented thereby, (vi) all replacements, substitutions or proceeds thereof, (vii) all instruments and documents now or hereafter evidencing the Reserves or such accounts, (viii) all powers, options, rights, privileges and immunities pertaining to the Reserves (including the right to make withdrawals therefrom), and (ix) all proceeds of the foregoing. Borrower hereby authorizes and consents to the account into which the Reserves have been deposited being held in Lender’s name or the name of any entity servicing the Note for Lender and hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender, or at Lender’s election, such servicing agent, shall have exclusive control over said account. Notice of the assignment and security interest granted to Lender herein may be delivered by Lender at any time to the financial institution wherein the Reserves have been established, and Lender, or such servicing entity, shall have possession of all passbooks or other evidences of such accounts. Borrower hereby assumes all risk of loss with respect to amounts on deposit in the Reserves.

51




 

Funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve, the Outstanding TILC Reserve, the Free Rent Reserve and the Rollover Reserve shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then prevailing commercial money market rate. All amounts deemed earned on funds contributed to the Replacement Reserve, the Outstanding TILC Reserve, the Free Rent Reserve and the Rollover Reserve at the rate referenced in the immediately preceding sentence shall be retained by Lender and accumulated for the benefit of Borrower and added to the balance in the Replacement Reserve, the Outstanding TILC Reserve, the Free Rent Reserve and the Rollover Reserve and shall be disbursed for payment of the items for which other funds in the Replacement Reserve, the Free Rent Reserve, the Outstanding TILC Reserve and the Rollover Reserve are to be disbursed. Borrower shall not be entitled to earn any interest with respect to funds on deposit in the Impound Account and the Immediate Repairs Reserve. Borrower hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally stipulates, acknowledges and agrees that the advancement of the funds from the Reserves as set forth herein is at Borrower’s direction and is not the exercise by Lender of any right of set-off or other remedy upon a Default or an Event of Default. Borrower hereby waives all right to withdraw funds from the Reserves except as provided for in this Mortgage. If an Event of Default shall occur hereunder or under any other of the Loan Documents Lender may, without notice or demand on Borrower, at its option:  (A) withdraw any or all of the funds (including, without limitation, interest) then remaining in the Reserves and apply the same, after deducting all costs and expenses of safekeeping, collection and delivery (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) to the Debt or any other obligations of Borrower under the other Loan Documents in such manner as Lender shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, and the excess, if any, shall be paid to Borrower, (B) exercise any and all rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code, or (C) exercise any other remedies available at law or in equity. No such use or application of the funds contained in the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default.

(b)           The Reserves shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Lender’s option and in Lender’s discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Lender with the general funds of Lender. The Reserves are solely for the protection of Lender and entail no responsibility on Lender’s part beyond the payment of the respective items for which they are held following receipt of bills, invoices or statements therefor in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually received. Upon assignment of this Mortgage by Lender, any funds in the Reserves shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If the funds in the applicable Reserve shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes and items for which the applicable Reserve is held, such excess may be credited by Lender on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Lender, refunded to Borrower. If, however, the applicable Reserve shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required by the dates on which such sums are required to be on deposit in such account, Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Lender the full amount of any such deficiency. If Borrower shall fail to deposit with Lender the full amount of such deficiency as provided above, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make such deposit, and all amounts so deposited by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date so deposited by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this

52




Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. If there is an Event of Default under this Mortgage, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in any or all of the Reserves against the Debt in whatever order Lender shall subjectively determine. No such application of any or all of the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Upon full payment of the Debt in accordance with its terms or at such earlier time as Lender may elect, the balance of any or all of the Reserves then in Lender’s possession shall be paid over to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.

Section 3.2             Intentionally Omitted

Section 3.3             Impound Account. Borrower shall establish and maintain at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect an impound account (the “Impound Account”) with Lender for payment of real estate taxes and assessments and insurance on the Property and as additional security for the Debt. Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Borrower shall deposit in the Impound Account an amount determined by Lender to be necessary to ensure that there will be on deposit with Lender an amount which, when added to the monthly payments subsequently required to be deposited with Lender hereunder on account of real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, will result in there being on deposit with Lender in the Impound Account an amount sufficient to pay the next due installment of real estate taxes and assessments on the Property at least one (1) month prior to the earlier of (a) the due date thereof or (b) any such date by which Borrower or Lender is required by law to pay same and the next due annual insurance premiums with respect to the Property at least one (1) month prior to the due date thereof. Commencing on the first monthly payment date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each monthly payment date under the Note, Borrower shall pay to Lender, concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Debt is fully paid and performed, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual real estate taxes and assessments that will next become due and payable on the Property, plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies which Borrower is required to maintain hereunder, each as estimated and determined by Lender. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred, and no event has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both would constitute an Event of Default (a “Default”), all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Lender in the Impound Account to pay said taxes, assessments and insurance premiums before the same become delinquent. Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Lender, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all taxes, assessments and insurance premiums to be paid from the Impound Account, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall pay the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Lender shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.

53




Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred, Borrower shall not be required to deposit into the Impound Account payments with respect to insurance premiums in connection with the Property so long as Borrower promptly provides Lender with proof of payment of all insurance premiums and other charges in connection with the insurance premiums required in connection with the Property and evidence that such required insurance is in place and is renewed at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any insurance coverage. In the event that (i) an Event of Default occurs, and/or (ii) Borrower fails to provide Lender with the foregoing proof of payment of insurance premiums and/or evidence that the insurance required is in place at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof, Borrower shall be required to deposit payments into the Impound Account with respect to insurance premiums in connection with the Property as set forth in this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4             Immediate Repairs Reserve. Prior to the execution of this Mortgage, Lender has caused the Property to be inspected and such inspection has revealed that the Property is in need of certain maintenance, repairs and/or remedial or corrective work. Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Borrower has established with Lender a reserve in the amount of $49,325.00 (the “Immediate Repair Reserve”) by depositing such amount with Lender. Borrower shall cause each of the items described in that certain Property Condition Report (the “Deferred Maintenance”) to be completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of Lender and as necessary to bring the Property into compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations on or before the expiration of six (6) months after the effective date hereof, as such time period may be extended by Lender in its sole discretion. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, all sums in the Immediate Repair Reserve shall be held by Lender in the Immediate Repair Reserve to pay the costs and expenses of completing the Deferred Maintenance. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Immediate Repair Reserve, disburse to Borrower the amount paid or incurred by Borrower in completing, performing, remediating or correcting the Deferred Maintenance upon (a) the receipt by Lender of a written request from Borrower for disbursement from the Immediate Repair Reserve and a certification by Borrower in a form as may be required by Lender that the applicable item of Deferred Maintenance has been completed in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage, (b) delivery to Lender of invoices, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender verifying the costs of the Deferred Maintenance to be reimbursed, (c) delivery to Lender of a certification from an inspecting architect, engineer or other consultant reasonably acceptable to Lender describing the completed work, verifying the completion of the work and the value of the completed work and, if applicable, certifying that the Property is, as a result of such work, in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations relating to the Deferred Maintenance so performed, and (d) delivery to Lender of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished materials or labor to the Property have been paid all amounts due for such labor and materials furnished to the Property. Lender shall not be required to make advances from the Immediate Repair Reserve more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period. In making any payment from the Immediate Repair Reserve, Lender shall be entitled to rely on such request from Borrower without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any such amount. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a power-of-attorney, coupled with an interest, to cause the Deferred Maintenance to be completed, performed,

54




remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of Lender upon Borrower’s failure to do so in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 3.4, and to apply the amounts on deposit in the Immediate Repair Reserve to the costs associated therewith, all as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion but without obligation to do so.

Section 3.5             Replacement Reserve. As additional security for the Debt, Borrower shall establish and maintain at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect a repair reserve (the “Replacement Reserve”) with Lender for payment of costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the performance of work to the roofs, chimneys, gutters, downspouts, paving, curbs, ramps, driveways, balconies, porches, patios, exterior walls, exterior doors and doorways, windows, elevators and mechanical and HVAC equipment (collectively, the “Repairs”). Commencing on the first monthly Payment Date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each monthly Payment Date under the Note, Borrower shall pay to Lender, concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Debt is fully paid and performed, a deposit to the Replacement Reserve in an amount equal to $2,020.08 per month. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, all sums in the Replacement Reserve shall be held by Lender in the Replacement Reserve to pay the costs and expenses of Repairs. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Replacement Reserve, disburse to Borrower the amount paid or incurred by Borrower in performing such Repairs within ten (10) days following: (a) the receipt by Lender of a written request from Borrower for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve and a certification by Borrower in a form approved in writing by Lender that the applicable item of Repair has been completed; (b) the delivery to Lender of invoices, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender, verifying the cost of performing the Repairs; (c) for disbursement requests in excess of $25,000.00, the delivery to Lender of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished material or labor to the Property have been paid all amounts due for labor and materials furnished to the Property; (d) for disbursement requests in excess of $25,000.00, delivery to Lender of a certification from an inspecting architect or other third party acceptable to Lender describing the completed Repairs and verifying the completion of the Repairs and the value of the completed Repairs; and (e) for disbursement requests in excess of $25,000.00, delivery to Lender of a new certificate of occupancy for the portion of the Improvements covered by such Repairs, if said new certificate of occupancy is required by law, or a certification by Borrower that no new certificate of occupancy is required. Lender shall not be required to make advances from the Replacement Reserve more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period. In making any payment from the Replacement Reserve, Lender shall be entitled to rely on such request from Borrower without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any such amount. Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, make or cause to be made during the term of this Mortgage an annual inspection of the Property to determine the need, as determined by Lender in its reasonable judgment, for further Repairs of the Property. In the event that such inspection reveals that further Repairs of the Property are required, Lender shall provide Borrower with a written description of the required Repairs and Borrower shall complete such Repairs to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender within ninety (90) days after the receipt of such description from Lender, or such later date as may be approved by Lender in its sole discretion.

55




Section 3.6             Rollover Reserve. (a)  Borrower shall pay to Lender $18,750.00 on each Payment Date (the “Rollover Reserve”) provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to make deposits to the Rollover Reserve in any month to the extent that, after deducting therefrom any pending requests for disbursements from the Rollover Reserve, such deposit would increase the balance in the Rollover Reserve above $1,900,000.00. Borrower shall also pay to Lender for transfer into the Rollover Reserve all payments received from tenants in connection with the early termination or cancellation of any Leases, including fees, penalties and commissions.  If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Rollover Reserve will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the amounts due or to become due for Approved Leasing Expenses (as hereinafter defined), Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Rollover Reserve. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Rollover Reserve to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000, provided (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Leasing Expense relating to the Sony Replacement Event (as defined below); (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of any construction work associated with such Approved Leasing Expense relating to the Sony Replacement Event; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an officer’s certificate from an authorized officer of the Borrower certifying (v) that such funds will be used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) such Approved Leasing Expenses and a description thereof, (w) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement) have been paid in full, (x) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, (y) that all previous disbursements have been used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) the previously identified Approved Leasing Expenses and (z) that any construction work associated with such Approved Leasing Expenses relating to the Sony Replacement Event has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable legal requirements, (B) reasonably detailed supporting documentation as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor, (C) copies of appropriate lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender in connection with any construction work associated with such Approved Leasing Expenses and (D) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that it is free from all liens not previously approved by Lender. Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Leasing Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee of such Approved Leasing Expenses. For the purposes hereof an “Approved Leasing Expense” shall mean the actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Borrower and payable to third parties that are not affiliates of Borrower or any Indemnitor in leasing space at the Premises pursuant to Leases entered into in accordance with the Loan Documents, including brokerage commissions and tenant improvements, which expenses (i) are (A) specifically approved by Lender in connection with approving the applicable Lease, (B) incurred in the ordinary course of business and on market terms and conditions in connection with Leases which do not require Lender’s approval under the Loan Documents, or (C) otherwise approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) are substantiated by executed Lease documents and brokerage agreements.

(b)  In the event of evidence satisfactory to Lender of a Sony Replacement Event, Lender shall disburse all remaining funds then-held by Lender in the Rollover Reserve to Borrower

56




(after application of same, in accordance with Section 3.6(a) above), within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor.

(c)  In connection with the sums deposited into the Rollover Reserve pursuant to this Section 3.6, at the end of each calendar year, Borrower shall have the option upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, to deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender and deposited into the Rollover Reserve a clean, unconditional, irrevocable and freely transferable, sight-draft, issued by a bank having a rating of “AA” or better by Standard & Poor’s (or equivalent rating agency) and being acceptable to Lender (in its sole and absolute discretion), having an initial expiry date of not earlier than one year after the delivery of such letter of credit, containing an “evergreen” provision for renewals of successive twelve (12) month terms, and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to Lender (“Letter of Credit”) equal to the amount of cash then on deposit in the Rollover Reserve. Upon the delivery of the Letter of Credit to Lender, Lender shall, within fifteen (15) days receipt of such Letter of Credit, deliver to Borrower the cash funds then-held in the Rollover Reserve equal to the amount of the Letter of Credit, which disbursement shall in no event be of more funds than Lender then-holds in the Rollover Reserve in cash sums. At any time after delivery of the Letter of Credit, (i) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit, at Lender’s option, and, from the proceeds thereof (which shall be deposited in the Rollover Reserve), advance to itself any amounts held therein pursuant to Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if Borrower requests a disbursement from the Rollover Reserve in accordance with Section 3.6(a) at a time when there is a Letter of Credit outstanding in the amount of such disbursement request but for which there are insufficient cash funds then-held in the Rollover Reserve, at Borrower’s request, Borrower shall have the right to request that Lender draw upon the Letter of Credit, and, from the proceeds thereof (which shall be deposited in the Rollover Reserve), advance to Borrower the amount of the requested disbursement (subject to fulfillment of the conditions related to such disbursement set forth in this Section 3.6) for which there is insufficient cash funds then-held in the Rollover Reserve but sufficient funds held in the Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the delivery of the Letter of Credit to Lender shall in no way waive Borrower’s obligation to continue to make the monthly deposits into the Rollover Reserve in accordance with this Section 3.6, and in no event shall the delivery of a Letter of Credit to Lender be deemed a waiver or termination of such obligation. In connection with the Letter of Credit, Borrower shall enter into a letter of credit agreement with Lender pledging the Letter of Credit to Lender and governing the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion (the “LC Agreement”).

REMEDIES

Section 5.1             Remedies Available. If there shall occur an Event of Default under this Mortgage, then this Mortgage is subject to foreclosure as provided by law and Lender may, at its option and by or through a trustee, nominee, assignee or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses, either successively or concurrently:

(a)           Acceleration. Accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any or all of the Debt to be immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest, notice or action of any kind whatever (each of which is hereby expressly waived by Borrower), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable. Upon any such acceleration, payment of such accelerated amount shall constitute a prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and any applicable prepayment fee provided for in the Note shall then be immediately due and payable.

(b)           Entry on the Property. Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon and take possession of the Property, or any part thereof, without force or with such force as is permitted by law and without notice or process or with such notice or process as is required by law, unless such notice and process is waivable, in which case Borrower hereby waives such notice and process, and do any and all acts and perform any and all work which may be desirable or necessary in Lender’s judgment to complete any

61




unfinished construction on the Premises, to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of the Property, to increase the income therefrom, to manage and operate the Property or to protect the security hereof, and all sums expended by Lender therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender by Borrower on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

(c)           Collect Rents and Profits. With or without taking possession of the Property, sue or otherwise collect the Rents and Profits, including those past due and unpaid.

(d)           Appointment of Receiver. Upon, or at any time prior or after, initiating the exercise of any power of sale, instituting any judicial foreclosure or instituting any other foreclosure of the liens and security interests provided for herein or any other legal proceedings hereunder, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property, as a matter of strict right and without notice to Borrower and without regard to the adequacy of the Property for the repayment of the Debt or the solvency of Borrower or any person or persons liable for the payment of the Debt, and Borrower does hereby irrevocably consent to such appointment, waive any and all notices of and defenses to such appointment and agree not to oppose any application therefor by Lender, but nothing herein is to be construed to deprive Lender of any other right, remedy or privilege Lender may now have under the law to have a receiver appointed, provided, however, that the appointment of such receiver, trustee or other appointee by virtue of any court order, statute or regulation shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Lender to receive payment of the Rents and Profits pursuant to other terms and provisions hereof. Any such receiver shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including, without limitation, the full power to hold, develop, rent, lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use of the Property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances as more fully set forth in Section 5.3 below. Such receivership shall, at the option of Lender, continue until full payment of all of the Debt or until title to the Property shall have passed by foreclosure sale under this Mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

(e)           Foreclosure. Immediately commence an action to foreclose this Mortgage or to specifically enforce its provisions with respect to any of the Debt, pursuant to the statutes in such case made and provided, and sell the Property or cause the Property to be sold in accordance with the requirements and procedures provided by said statutes in a single parcel or in several parcels at the option of Lender. In the event foreclosure proceedings are instituted by Lender, all expenses incident to such proceedings, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be paid by Borrower and secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. The Debt and all other obligations secured by this Mortgage, including, without limitation, interest at the Default Interest Rate any prepayment charge, fee or premium required to be paid under the Note in order to prepay principal (to the extent permitted by applicable law), reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other amounts due and unpaid to Lender under the Loan Documents, may be bid by Lender in the event of a foreclosure sale hereunder. In the event of a judicial sale pursuant to a foreclosure decree, it is understood and agreed that Lender or its assigns may become the purchaser of the Property or any part thereof.

62




(f)            Judicial Remedies. Proceed by suit or suits, at law or in equity, instituted by or on behalf of Lender, to enforce the payment of the Debt or the other obligations of Borrower hereunder or pursuant to the Loan Documents, to foreclose the liens and security interests of this Mortgage as against all or any part of the Property, and to have all or any part of the Property sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. This remedy shall be cumulative of any other non-judicial remedies available to Lender with respect to the Loan Documents.

This Mortgage shall constitute a direction to and full authority to any lessee, or other third party who has heretofore dealt or contracted or may hereafter deal or contract with Borrower or Lender, at the request of Lender, to pay all amounts owing under any Lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement to Lender without proof of the Event of Default relied upon. Any such lessee or third party is hereby irrevocably authorized to rely upon and comply with (and shall be fully protected by Borrower in so doing) any request, notice or demand by Lender for the payment to Lender of any Rents and Profits or other sums which may be or thereafter become due under its Lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, or for the performance of any undertakings under any such Lease, contract, concession, license or other agreement, and shall have no right or duty to inquire whether any Event of Default under this Mortgage or under any of the other Loan Documents has actually occurred or is then existing. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender, its assignees, successors, transferees and nominees, as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution in the Property, in Borrower’s name, place and stead, to do or permit any one or more of the foregoing described rights, remedies, powers and authorities, successively or concurrently, and said power of attorney shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding. Any money advanced by Lender in connection with any action taken under this Section 5.3, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date of making such advancement by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be a demand obligation owing by Borrower to Lender and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by every other instrument securing all or any portion of the Debt.

64




Section 5.4             Occupancy After Foreclosure. In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale, Borrower or Borrower’s representatives, successors or assigns, or any other persons claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Borrower (except tenants of space in the Improvements subject to leases entered into prior to the date hereof), are occupying or using the Property, or any part thereof, then, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each and all shall, at the option of Lender or the purchaser at such sale, as the case may be, immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will of either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the Property occupied or used, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of the Property upon the termination of such tenancy, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain an action for unlawful detainer of the Property in the appropriate court of the county in which the Premises is located.

Section 5.5             Notice to Account Debtors. Lender may, at any time after an Event of Default, notify the account debtors and obligors of any accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of indebtedness to Borrower included in the Property to pay Lender directly.

All remedies contained in this Mortgage are cumulative and Lender shall also have all other remedies provided at law and in equity or in any other Loan Documents. Such remedies may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently at the sole subjective direction of Lender and may be exercised in any order and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any particular provisions of this Mortgage to the exclusion of any other provision of this Mortgage or as an election of remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter be available to Lender. No delay or failure by Lender to exercise any right or remedy under this Mortgage shall be construed to be a waiver of that right or remedy or of any Event of Default. Lender may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies at its option without regard to the adequacy of its security.

Section 5.7             Payment of Expenses. Borrower shall pay on demand all of Lender’s expenses incurred in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Mortgage, whether or not any lawsuit is filed and whether or not foreclosure is commenced but not completed, including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements, fees of any Rating Agency, fees related to any No-Downgrade Confirmation, foreclosure costs and title charges, together with interest thereon from and after the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower at the Default Interest Rate, and the same shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.

No modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. No notice to nor demand on Borrower in any case shall of itself entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any of the Debt shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way affect the existence of an Event of Default. In case Lender shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Debt, the Loan Documents, the Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if the same had never been invoked.

Section 6.33           Intentionally Omitted.

Section 6.34           REMIC Opinions. In the event Borrower requests Lender’s consent with respect to any proposed action or Borrower proposes to take any action not otherwise requiring Lender’s specific consent under the Loan Documents, which Lender determines, in its discretion, may affect (i) the “REMIC” status of Lender, its successors or assigns, or (ii) the status of this Mortgage as a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or any succeeding provision of such law), Lender reserves the right to require Borrower, at Borrower’s sole expense, to obtain, from counsel satisfactory to Lender in its discretion, an opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its discretion, that no adverse tax consequences will arise as a result of the proposed course of action.

Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, that Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until not less than three (3) days has passed after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.
