Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.
     In the Credit Agreement, (i) the Lenders have agreed to make term loans (the “Term Loans”) and revolving credit loans (the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, (ii) the Swingline Lender has agreed to make swingline loans to the Borrower (the “Swing Line Loans”, together with Term Loans and Revolving Loans, the “Loans”) and (iii) the L/C Issuers have issued or agreed to issue from time to time Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, in each case pursuant to, upon the terms, and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement provides that the sum of the principal amount of the Loans and the Letters of Credit from time to time outstanding and secured hereby shall not exceed $2,350,000,000.00.
     Mortgagor is an indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Borrower, and will derive substantial benefit from the making of the Loans by the Lenders and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the L/C Issuers. In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit, the Mortgagor has agreed to guarantee, among other things, the due and punctual payment and performance of all of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty and the Security Agreement.

     (b) All Leases entered into by Mortgagor after the date hereof shall be subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage. Mortgagor will not enter into, modify or amend any Lease if such Lease, as entered into, modified or amended, will not be subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage.

Subject to Section 1.06(d), Mortgagee may in Mortgagor’s name and stead (with or without first taking possession of any of the Mortgaged Property personally or by receiver as provided herein) operate the Mortgaged Property and rent, lease or let all or any portion of any of the Mortgaged Property to any party or parties at such rental and upon such terms as Mortgagee shall, in its sole discretion, determine, and may collect and have the benefit of all of said Rents arising from or accruing at any time thereafter or that may thereafter become due under any Lease.

Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each tenant, if any, and each successor, if any, to the interest of any tenant under any Lease, respectively, to rely upon any notice of a claimed Event of Default sent by Mortgagee to any such tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest, and thereafter to pay Rents to Mortgagee without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether an Event of Default actually exists and even if some notice to the contrary is received from the Mortgagor, who shall have no right or claim against any such tenant or successor in interest for any such Rents so paid to Mortgagee. Each tenant or any of such tenant’s successors in interest from whom Mortgagee or any officer, agent, attorney or employee of Mortgagee shall have collected any Rents, shall be authorized to pay Rents to Mortgagor only after such tenant or any of their successors in interest shall have received written notice from Mortgagee that the Event of Default is no longer continuing, unless and until a further notice of an Event of Default is given by Mortgagee to such tenant or any of its successors in interest.
     (e) Mortgagee will not become a mortgagee in possession so long as it does not enter or take actual possession of the Mortgaged Property. In addition, so long as it does not enter or take actual possession of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee shall not be responsible or liable for performing any of the obligations of the landlord under any Lease, for any waste by any tenant, or others, for any dangerous or defective conditions of any of the Mortgaged

7

Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, for Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to execute any document and to file the same in the appropriate offices (to the extent it may lawfully do so), and to perform each and every act and thing reasonably requisite and necessary to be done to perfect the security interest contemplated by the preceding sentence. Mortgagee shall have all rights with respect to the part of the Mortgaged Property that is the subject of a security interest afforded by the UCC in addition to, but not in limitation of, the other rights afforded Mortgagee hereunder.

In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or part of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any vendee or transferee with reference to the Mortgaged Property secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.

(a) The conveyance to Mortgagee of the Mortgaged Property as security created and consummated by this Mortgage shall be null and void when all the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement) have been indefeasibly paid in full in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the Lenders have no further commitment to make Loans under the Credit Agreement, the L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero and the L/C Issuers have no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.

Each appointment of Mortgagee as attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor under the Mortgage is irrevocable, with power of substitution and coupled with an interest.

16


 

omissions whatsoever of Mortgagee, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by the Mortgagee of any security for or guarantees of any of the Secured Obligations hereby secured, or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Mortgagee to realize upon or protect any Secured Obligation or indebtedness hereby secured or any collateral security therefor including the Other Mortgages and other Collateral Documents.
