4.3.1      Policies Required.  Mortgagor shall at all times maintain in full force and effect, at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense, with insurers reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, insurance policies reasonably required by Mortgagee from time to time that are usual and customarily in use in Mortgagor’s industry.

4.3.4      Assignment of Policies.  If this Mortgage is foreclosed or other transfer of title or assignment of the Collateral is made in satisfaction of all or part of the Secured Obligations, then all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all policies of insurance required by Section 4.3.1 above and all unearned premiums paid on them shall, without further act, pass to the purchaser or grantee of the Collateral.  Provided, however, some policies of insurance and related unearned premiums may require the policy underwriter’s consent.

4.4         Condemnation and Other Awards.  Upon learning of the actual or threatened condemnation or other taking for public or quasi-public use of all or any part of the Land, Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee.  Mortgagor shall take all actions reasonably required by Mortgagee in connection with such condemnation or other taking to defend and protect the interests of Mortgagor, Mortgagee in the Land.  At Mortgagee's option, Mortgagee or Mortgagor may be the named party in such proceeding.  Regardless of the adequacy of its security, Mortgagee shall be entitled to participate in, control and be represented by counsel of its choice in such proceeding.  All condemnation proceeds shall first be applied to reimburse Mortgagee for all their reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the collection of such award or settlement.  The balance of such award or settlement shall be applied by Mortgagee against the Secured Obligations in such order as Mortgagee may determine.

4.5         Taxes and Impositions (Impounds).  Mortgagor shall pay, prior to delinquency, all of the following (collectively the “Impositions”):

a.           All general and special real property taxes and assessments imposed on the Land; and

c.           All business taxes; and

d.           All license fees, taxes and assessments imposed on Mortgagee (other than Mortgagee's income or franchise taxes) which are measured by or based upon (in whole or in part) the amount of the Secured Obligations.

4.5.1      Reserves on Impositions (Impounds).  If Mortgagee requires following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagor, at the time of making each installment payment on the Note, or at such other intervals as Mortgagee reasonably designates, shall deposit with Mortgagee such sum as Mortgagee reasonably estimates to be necessary to pay installments of Impositions and insurance policies next becoming due (collectively, the “Impounds”) upon any of the Land, Fixtures and Improvements.  All such Impounds may be held by Mortgagee and applied in such order as Mortgagee may elect for payment of Impositions or other sums secured by this Mortgage at Mortgagee's election.  Such Impounds shall constitute additional collateral for the Secured Obligations.  Except as otherwise provided by law, Mortgagee shall have no obligation regarding such Impounds other than to account to Mortgagor for their receipt and application.  Upon any transfer by Mortgagee of its rights or interests in the Secured Obligations or of this Mortgage, Mortgagee may turn over to the transferee such of those Impounds as Mortgagee then holds, and Mortgagee's responsibilities with respect to the Impounds shall terminate.  Upon any transfer by Mortgagor of the Land or Improvements, Mortgagor's interest in any such Impounds shall be deemed automatically transferred to such transferee.

a.           Involuntary transfers and transfers by operation of law;

b.           Liens, encumbrances and assignments as security for obligations, whether voluntary or involuntary; and

c.           Any Change of Control of Mortgagor.  As used herein, "Change of Control" shall mean a change in the power, directly or indirectly, to (i) vote 50% or more of the voting securities (or membership interests, as applicable) having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or officers (or Persons functioning in substantially similar roles) of Mortgagor or (ii) direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of Mortgagor whether by contract or otherwise.  Transfer of the beneficial interests and/or voting rights of the voting securities of the managing general partner of Mortgagee to or for the benefit of lineal descendants of the current beneficial holders shall not be deemed a "Change of Control" for purposes of this Mortgage.

No sale, lease or other transfer shall relieve Mortgagor from primary liability for its obligations under the Notes and Loan Documents or relieve any guarantor from any liability under any guaranty.  Upon any such transfer to which Mortgagee does not consent, Mortgagee at its option may, without prior notice, declare all Secured Obligations immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, and may exercise all rights and remedies provided in this Mortgage or under applicable law.

4.9         Inspections.  Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee and its agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable notice to Mortgagor, to enter at any time upon any part of the Collateral for the purpose of performing a Subsequent Valuation, inspecting the Collateral, taking soil or groundwater samples and conducting tests to investigate for the presence of hazardous materials, provided such entry shall cause as little disruption to the occupants of the Collateral as possible, and provided Mortgagee restores the Collateral to its pre-inspection condition if Mortgagee's inspection activities cause damage to the Collateral.  Mortgagor agrees to pay the costs and expenses of Mortgagee incurred in such inspections and examinations, including without limitation, Mortgagee's attorneys' fees, if such inspection was made necessary because of an Event of Default, whether the services are provided by Mortgagee's employees, agents or independent contractors.  Any inspection or review by Mortgagee is solely for Mortgagee's benefit to protect Mortgagee's security and preserve Mortgagee's rights under this Mortgage.  Mortgagee owes no duty of care to protect Mortgagor or any other party against, or to inform Mortgagor or any other party of, any adverse condition affecting the Collateral, including any defects in the design or construction of the Improvements or Fixtures.  No inspection by Mortgagee shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

4.10       Defense of Actions.  Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee of any action or proceeding purporting to affect (a) the security of this Mortgage, (b) any of the Loan Documents, (c) all or any part of the Collateral or any interest in it, (d) any additional or other security for the Secured Obligations, or (e) the interests, rights, powers or duties of Mortgagee under this Mortgage.  Mortgagor, at no cost or expense to Mortgagee, shall appear in and defend the same.  If Mortgagee elects to become or is made a party to such action or proceeding, Mortgagor shall indemnify, defend and hold Mortgagee harmless from all related liability, damage, cost and expense reasonably incurred by Mortgagee (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses consistent with Section 4.13 of this Mortgage), whether or not such action or proceeding is prosecuted to judgment or decision.

4.11       Protection of Security.  If Mortgagor fails to make any payment or to do any act required by this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Mortgagee may do so.  Mortgagee may decide to do so, in its own discretion, without obligation to do so, without further notice or demand, and without releasing Mortgagor in such manner and to such extent as it may reasonably deem necessary to protect the security of this Mortgage.  In connection with such actions, Mortgagee has the right, without limitation, but not the obligation:  (a) to enter upon and take possession of the Collateral; (b) to make additions, alterations, repairs and improvements to the Land, Improvements or Fixtures which in its judgment may be necessary or proper to keep the Collateral in good condition and repair; (c) to appear and participate in any action or proceeding affecting or which may affect the lien or charge of this Mortgage or the rights or powers of Mortgagee; (d) to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, claim, charge, lien or debt (excepting Permitted Encumbrances) which in its judgment may affect the security of this Mortgage or appear to be prior or superior to this Mortgage; and (e) in exercising such powers, to pay all necessary or appropriate costs and expenses and employ necessary or desirable consultants.

4.12       Mortgagee's Powers.  If Mortgagor fails to pay any sum, other than principal and interest on the Secured Obligations, or to perform or comply with any other obligation required by any Loan Document, Mortgagee at its election may pay such sum or comply with such obligation.  Without affecting the liability of Mortgagor or any other person liable for the payment of any Secured Obligation, and without affecting the lien or charge of this Mortgage, Mortgagee may, from time to time, do any of the following:  (a) release any person so liable, (b) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of any such obligation (provided however, that the consent of Mortgagor shall be required for extension or alteration of any unpaid obligation of Mortgagor to Mortgagee), (c) waive any provision of this Mortgage or grant other indulgences, (d) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed, at any time at Mortgagee's option, all or any part of the Collateral, (e) take or release any other or additional security for any Secured Obligation, or (f) make arrangements with debtors in relation to the Secured Obligations.  Waiver by Mortgagee of any right or remedy as to any transaction or occurrence shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any future transaction or occurrence.  By accepting full or partial payment or performance of any Secured Obligation after due or after the filing of a notice of default and election to sell, Mortgagee shall not have thereby waived its right to (i) require prompt payment and performance in full, when due, of all other Secured Obligations, (ii) declare a default for failure to so pay or perform, or (iii) proceed with the sale under any notice of default and election to sell previously given by Mortgagee, or as to any unpaid balance of the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

4.13       Reimbursement of Costs, Fees and Expenses:  Secured by Mortgage.  Mortgagor shall pay, on demand, to the maximum allowable under applicable law, all reasonable costs, fees, expenses, advances, charges, losses and liabilities paid or incurred by Mortgagee in administering this Mortgage, the collection of the Secured Obligations, and Mortgagee's exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Mortgage.  Such amounts include, without limitation (a) foreclosure fees and expenses, receiver's fees and expenses, (b) costs and fees paid or incurred by Mortgagee and/or any receiver appointed under this Mortgage in connection with the custody, operation, use, maintenance, management, protection, preservation, collection, appraisal, sale or other liquidation of the Collateral, (c) advances made by Mortgagee to complete or partially construct all or part of any Improvements which may have been commenced on the Land, or otherwise to protect the lien or charge of this Mortgage, (d) costs of evidence of title, costs of surveys and costs of appraisals, and costs resulting from Mortgagor's failure to perform any of the provisions of this Mortgage.  Fees, costs and expenses of attorneys shall include the reasonable fees and disbursements of Mortgagee's outside and staff counsel and of any experts and agents (including fees of law clerks, paralegals, investigators and others not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney), and including such fees incurred in the exercise of any remedy (with or without litigation), in any proceeding for the collection of the Secured Obligations, in any foreclosure on any of the Collateral, in protecting the lien or priority of any Loan Document, or in any litigation or controversy connected with the Secured Obligations, including any bankruptcy, receivership, injunction or other proceeding, or any appeal from or petition for review of any such proceeding.  Reasonable counsel fees shall include fees incurred not only in enforcing the Secured Obligations in any bankruptcy or receivership proceeding, but also any fees incurred in participating in the bankruptcy or receivership proceedings generally.  Such sums shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall bear interest from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Interest Rate.

ARTICLE 5
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, ISSUES AND PROFITS

5.1         Assignment of Rents, Issues and Profits.  Mortgagor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assigns and transfers to Mortgagee all of its right, title and interest in and to all rents, issues, profits, royalties, income and other proceeds and similar benefits derived from the Collateral (collectively the “Rents”), and gives to Mortgagee the right, power and authority to collect such Rents.  Mortgagor irrevocably appoints Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, at the option of Mortgagee, at any time and from time to time, to demand, receive and enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions, and or sue, in its name or in Mortgagor's name, for all Rents, and to apply them to the Secured Obligations.  Mortgagee hereby grants to Mortgagor a license to collect and retain Rents (but not more than one month in advance unless the written approval of Mortgagee has first been obtained) so long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing.  The assignment of the Rents in this Article 5 is intended to be an absolute assignment from Mortgagor to Mortgagee and not merely the passing of a security interest.

5.2         Collection Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagor's license to collect the Rents shall automatically terminate.  Upon such termination, Mortgagee may, at any time, either in person, by agent or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations, do any of the following:  (a) enter upon and take possession of all or any part of the Collateral; (b) with or without taking possession of the Collateral in its own name, sue for or otherwise collect Rents (including those past due and unpaid, and all prepaid Rents and all other security or other deposits paid by tenants to Mortgagor); and (c) apply the Rents (less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, whether or not suit is brought or prosecuted to judgment) to any Secured Obligation, and in such order as Mortgagee may determine, even if payment or performance of said Secured Obligation may not then be due.  Mortgagor agrees that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Mortgagor shall promptly deliver all Rents and security deposits to Mortgagee.  The collection of Rents, or the entering and taking possession of the Land, or the application of Rents as provided above, shall not (i) cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default under this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, (ii) invalidate any act performed in response to such Event of Default or pursuant to such notice of default, or (iii) cause Mortgagee to be deemed a mortgage-in-possession of all or any part of the Land.

5.3         Assigned Leases.  Mortgagor agrees, with respect to each lease and sublease (collectively the “Assigned Leases”) any portion of which has been assigned to Mortgagee under this Mortgage, as follows:

5.3.1       Mortgagor shall promptly perform all of Mortgagor's obligations as landlord under each Assigned Lease and shall immediately notify Mortgagee in writing of any notice of default received by Mortgagor from the tenant.  At Mortgagee's request, Mortgagor will have tenant execute estoppel certificates and subordination agreements acceptable to Mortgagee.

5.3.2       Mortgagor shall diligently enforce the performance of all of the obligations of the tenant under each Assigned Lease; shall not waive any default or waive, release or discharge any such tenant of or from any such obligation; and shall not cancel, terminate or modify any Assigned Lease without Mortgagee's prior written consent.

5.3.3       Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants to Mortgagee, with respect to each Assigned Lease that is presently in effect (collectively the “Current Assigned Leases”), (a) that Mortgagor has delivered to Mortgagee a true and complete copy of each Current Assigned Lease, together with all amendments, modifications and supplements thereto; (b) that Mortgagor has not accepted any payment of Rent (or other charge) under any Current Assigned Lease more than one month in advance; and (c) that, to the best of each Mortgagor's knowledge, no material default by Mortgagor or any other person under any Current Assigned Lease remains uncured.

5.4         Further Assignments.  Upon Mortgagee's demand from time to time, Mortgagor shall execute and deliver to Mortgagee recordable assignments of Mortgagor's interest in any and all leases, subleases, contracts, rights, licenses and permits now or hereafter affecting all or any part of the Land.  Such assignments shall be made by instruments in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee; provided however, that no such assignment shall be construed as imposing upon Mortgagee any obligation with respect thereto.  Mortgagee may, at its option, exercise its rights under this Mortgage or any such specific assignment and such exercise shall not constitute a waiver of any right under this Mortgage or any such specific assignment.

ARTICLE 6
REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

6.1         Events of Default.  The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Mortgage:

6.1.1       Mortgagor fails to pay any amount owing under this Mortgage within three business days after written notice from Mortgagee or Mortgagee’s agent that the same is due; or

6.1.2       Mortgagor fails to pay any taxes, insurance premiums, assessments or rents required under this Mortgage within thirty business days after written notice from Mortgagee or Mortgagee’s agent that the same is due; or

6.2         Acceleration Upon Default:  Additional Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may, at its option, exercise all of the applicable rights and remedies set forth in the Notes, Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents and, in addition, declare all Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind; and whether or not Mortgagee exercises any said right or remedy, Mortgagee may:

6.2.1       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 Collateral;

a.          Enter upon and take possession of all or part of the Collateral, in its own name or in the name of Mortgagee;

b.          Conduct environmental assessments and surveys and do any other acts which it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value, marketability or rentability of all or part of the Collateral or interest in the Collateral or increase the Collateral's income, or protect the lien or charge of this Mortgage;

c.          With or without taking possession of the Collateral, sue for or otherwise collect the Rents, including those past due and unpaid; and

The entering and taking possession of the Collateral, the collection of such Rents and their application shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default or invalidate any act done in response to them.  Regardless of whether possession of the Collateral or the collection, receipt and application of any of the Rents is by Mortgagee or a receiver, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in the Loan Agreement and other Loan Document or by law upon occurrence of any Event of Default, including the right to exercise the power of sale;

6.2.2       Commence an action to foreclose this Mortgage, appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants contained in this Mortgage;

6.2.4       Exercise all other rights and remedies provided in this Mortgage, in any other Loan Document or other document or agreement now or hereafter securing all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or as provided by law or in equity.

6.3         Appointment of Receiver.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Mortgage, Mortgagee, without notice to Mortgagor or anyone claiming under Mortgagor, and without regard to the then value of the Collateral or the interest of Mortgagor in it, shall have the right to enter the Land in person or to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Land, Fixtures or Improvements.  Mortgagor irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any such application.  The actions that Mortgagee or such receiver may take in connection with such entry may include, but are not limited to (a) modifying, compromising obligations under, terminating and implementing remedies with respect to the Assigned Leases, and (b) entering into, modifying or terminating any contractual arrangements, subject to Mortgagee's right at any time to discontinue any of the same without liability.  Mortgagee is further authorized by this provision to request the court to appoint a general receiver and to empower the receiver to (i) sell or lease all or any portion of the Land, Fixtures or Improvements, (ii) collect and apply to the outstanding balances of the Notes all sales or lease proceeds, or hold the proceeds pending a court order approving the receiver's final report and account, and (iii) hold the collections as cash collateral pending such court order or foreclosure sale.  Any such receiver(s) shall also have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry as provided in this Mortgage, and shall continue to exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Land, Fixtures or Improvements, unless such receivership is sooner terminated.  If Mortgagee elects to enter or take possession of the Land, Fixtures or Improvements, it will not assume any liability to Mortgagor or any other person for operation or maintenance of the Land, Fixtures or Improvements, and Mortgagor expressly waives any such Mortgagee liability.

6.4         Application of Funds After Default.  Except as otherwise provided in this Mortgage, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may at any time, with notice to Mortgagor if providing such notice will not adversely delay the exercise of Mortgagee's rights or remedies, apply to any Secured Obligation, in such manner and order as Mortgagee may elect, even if such Secured Obligation may not yet be due, any amounts received and held by Mortgagee to pay insurance premium or impositions or as Rents, or as insurance or condemnation proceeds, and all other amounts received by Mortgagee from or on account of Mortgagor or the Collateral, or otherwise.  The receipt, use or application of any such amounts shall not affect the maturity of any Secured Obligation, any of the rights or powers of Mortgagee under the terms of any Loan Document, or any of the obligations of Mortgagor or any guarantor under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan document; or cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default under the Note(s) and Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document; or invalidate any act of Mortgagee.

6.5         Remedies Not Exclusive.  Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any Secured Obligation and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or any other Loan Document or other agreement or any law, even if some or all of the Secured Obligations may be otherwise secured, whether by guaranty, deed of trust, mortgage, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise.  Neither the acceptance nor enforcement (whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein contained) of this Mortgage shall impair Mortgagee's right to realize upon or enforce any other security held by Mortgagee.  Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security for the Secured Obligations held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as it may in its absolute discretion determine.  No remedy conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy in this Mortgage, and other agreement, or at law, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy available to Mortgagee.  Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to the Mortgagee or to which it may be otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and it may pursue inconsistent remedies.  Mortgagor may be joined in any action brought by Mortgagee to foreclose under or otherwise enforce this Mortgage.

6.6         Request for Notice.  Mortgagor requests that a copy of any notice of default and that a copy of any notice of sale under this Mortgage be mailed to it at the address set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage.

6.7         No Personal Liability of General Partners.  In any action brought to enforce the obligation of Mortgagor to pay the Secured Obligations, any judgment or decree shall not be subject to execution on, nor be a lien on, the assets of the general partners of Mortgagor, other than their interests in the Collateral.  The foregoing shall in no way otherwise affect the personal liability of Mortgagor.
