d.                                      Add to Secured Indebtedness.  All obligations so paid or incurred by Agent shall be reimbursed or paid for by Mortgagor upon demand and prior to the repayment thereof shall be added to the debt secured hereby and shall bear interest at the Default Rate provided for in the Guaranty or the Loan Agreement, and shall be secured hereby equally and ratably.  Agent may also reimburse itself therefor from the income or receipts of the Mortgaged Property or any business conducted thereon, or from the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property.  Agent may also apply toward any of the Obligations any tax or insurance reserve account, deposit or any sum credited or due from Agent to Mortgagor without first enforcing any other rights of Agent against Mortgagor or the against any other guarantor of any of the Obligations or against the Mortgaged Property.

 

e.                                       Attorney-In-Fact.  Mortgagor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent, or any agent designated by Agent, for so long as this Mortgage remains undischarged of record, as attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor to execute, acknowledge, seal and deliver all instruments, agreements, deeds, certificates and other documents of every nature and description in order to carry out or implement the exercise of Agent’s rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

 

f.                                         Foreclosure.  Agent may institute an action of mortgage foreclosure, or take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage and realization on the mortgage security or any other security herein or elsewhere provided for, as the law may allow, and may proceed therein to final judgment and execution for the entire unpaid balance of the principal debt, with interest at the rate(s) stipulated in the Loan Agreement, together with all other sums due from Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement, including all sums which may have been loaned by Agent to Mortgagor after the date of this Mortgage, all sums which may have been advanced by Agent to Mortgagor after the date of this Mortgage, all sums which may have been advanced by Agent for taxes, water or sewer rents, other lienable charges or claims, insurance or repairs or maintenance after the date of this Mortgage (including the period after the entry of any judgment in mortgage foreclosure or

 

11



 

other judgment entered pursuant to this Mortgage or the Loan Agreement), and all costs of suit, including counsel fees (as permitted by applicable law).  Mortgagor authorizes Agent at its option to foreclose this Mortgage subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property, and the failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense to any proceedings instituted by Agent to recover the indebtedness secured hereby or any deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property; however, nothing herein contained shall prevent Mortgagor from asserting in any proceedings disputing the amount of the deficiency or the sufficiency of any bid at such foreclosure sale that any such tenants adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property.

 

In connection with the exercise of Agent’s rights above, Mortgagor hereby authorizes and empowers any attorney of any court of record in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or elsewhere, as attorney for Agent and all persons claiming under or through Agent, to appear for and confess judgment in ejectment against Mortgagor for the possession of the Mortgaged Property and to appear for and confess judgment against Mortgagor and against all persons claiming under or through Mortgagor, in favor of Agent, for recovery by Agent of possession thereof, for which this Mortgage, or a copy thereof verified by affidavit, shall be a sufficient warrant; and thereupon a writ of possession may immediately issue for possession of the Mortgaged Property, without any prior writ or proceeding whatsoever and without any stay of execution.  If for any reason after such action has been commenced it shall be discontinued, or possession of the Mortgaged Property shall remain in or be restored to Mortgagor, Agent shall have the right for the same default or any subsequent default to bring one or more further actions as above provided to recover possession of the Mortgaged Property.  Agent may confess judgment in ejectment therein before or after the institution of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage or to enforce the Loan Documents, or after entry of judgment on this Mortgage or on the other Loan Documents executed in connection therewith, or after a sheriff’s sale of the Mortgaged Property in which Agent or any Lender is the successful bidder.   The authorization to pursue such proceedings for obtaining possession is an essential part of the enforcement of this Mortgage, or the other Loan Documents, and shall survive any execution sale to Agent.

 

21.                                 Setoff.  Mortgagor hereby grants to Agent and each of the Lenders, a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to Agent and the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Agent or any Lender or any entity under the control of KeyBank National Association, or in transit to any of them.  At any time, without demand or notice, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent or any Lender may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Mortgagor even though

 

12



 

unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Loan.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE MORTGAGOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

 

22.                                 Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Agent, the Lenders or the Mortgagor under this Mortgage shall be in writing and given as provided in the Loan Agreement (and with respect to the Mortgagor, c/o the Borrower at the address of the Borrower as set forth in the Loan Agreement).

 

23.                                 Agent/Lender Not Obligated; Cumulative Rights.  Nothing in this instrument shall be construed as obligating Agent or any Lender to take any action or incur any liability with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any business conducted thereon, and all options given to Agent are for its benefit and shall and may be exercised in such order and in such combination as Agent may from time to time decide.

 

24.                                 Severability.  In case any one or more of the provisions of this Mortgage, the Guaranty, the Collateral Assignment of Leases and Rents, the Loan Agreement, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed in connection with any one or more of the foregoing are held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof.  Each of the provisions of every such agreement, document or instrument shall be enforceable by Agent to the fullest extent now or hereafter not prohibited by applicable law.

 

25.                                 No Waiver.  No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Agent to or of any Default by Mortgagor shall be construed as a consent or waiver to or of any other Default at the same time or upon any future occasion.

 

26.                                 Waivers By Mortgagor.  Mortgagor, to the fullest extent that Mortgagor may do so, hereby: (a) agrees that Mortgagor will 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 or extension, or any redemption after foreclosure sale, and waives and releases all rights of redemption after foreclosure sale, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the debt secured hereby; and (b) waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Mortgagor, including the Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of a sale hereunder of the Mortgaged Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshalling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Agent under the terms of this Mortgage or the Guaranty to a sale of the Mortgaged Property for the collection of the indebtedness evidenced by the Guaranty without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Agent to the payment of such indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other claimant whatever.

27.                                 Business Loan: Not Personal Residence.  Mortgagor covenants, warrants and represents that all of the proceeds of the Loan secured hereby shall be used for business or commercial purposes, none of the proceeds of the Loan secured hereby shall be used for personal, family or household purposes, and that no individual liable for the Loan resides or intends to reside in any portion of the Mortgaged Property.

 

28.                                 Certification. The undersigned hereby certify that (a) Mortgagor is a duly organized, validly existing limited partnership organized and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and (b) that the execution and delivery hereof and of all of the other Loan Documents by Mortgagor has been duly authorized by a resolution of First Union Real Estate Equity and Mortgage Investments which is in full force and effect.

 

29.                                 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

a.                                       Substantial Relationship.  It is understood and agreed that all of the Loan Documents were delivered in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which Commonwealth the parties agree has a substantial relationship to the parties and to the underlying transactions embodied by the Loan Documents.

 

b.                                      Place of Delivery.  Mortgagor agrees to furnish to Agent at Agent’s office in Boston, Massachusetts all further instruments, certifications and documents to be furnished hereunder.

 

c.                                       Governing Law.  This Mortgage, except as otherwise provided in herein, and each of the other Loan Documents shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

 

d.                                      Exceptions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing choice of law:

 

i)                                         The procedures governing the enforcement by Agent of its foreclosure and other remedies against Mortgagor under this Mortgage and under the other Loan Documents with respect to the Mortgaged Property or other assets situated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including by way of illustration, but not in limitation, actions for foreclosure, for injunctive relief or for the appointment of a receiver shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania;
 
ii)                                      Agent and each of the Lenders shall comply with applicable law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the extent required by the law of such jurisdiction in connection with the foreclosure of the security interests and liens created under this Mortgage and the other Loan

 

14



 

Documents with respect to the Mortgaged Property or other assets situated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; and
 
iii)                                   provisions of Federal law and the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall apply in defining the terms Hazardous Materials, Environmental Legal Requirements and Legal Requirements applicable to the Mortgaged Property as such terms are used in this Mortgage.
 

Nothing contained herein or any other provisions of the Loan Documents shall be construed to provide that the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall apply to any parties’ rights and obligations under any of the Loan Documents, which, except as expressly provided in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 30(d), are and shall continue to be governed by the substantive law of Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except as set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 30(d).  In addition, the fact that portions of the Loan Documents may include provisions drafted to conform to the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is not intended, nor shall it be deemed, in any way, to derogate the parties’ choice of law as set forth or referred to in this Mortgage or in the other Loan Documents.  The parties further agree that the Agent may enforce its rights under the Loan Documents including, but not limited to, its rights to sue the Mortgagor or to collect any outstanding indebtedness in accordance with applicable law.

 

e.                                       Consent to Jurisdiction.  Mortgagor hereby consents to personal jurisdiction in any state or Federal court located within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

30.                                 Advance Money Mortgage. This Mortgage secures future advances made pursuant to the Loan Agreement, which future advances are guarantied by the Mortgagor pursuant to the Guaranty.  Without limiting the foregoing, this Mortgage secures all advances made by Agent or any Lender of any kind or nature described in 42 Pa. C.S. §8144.  The maximum principal amount that may be secured by this Mortgage is $53,000,000.00, plus all advances made pursuant to any provisions of the Mortgage; provided that in no event shall any Lender be obligated to advance in excess of the stated principal amount of the Note evidencing the indebtedness secured hereby.  If Mortgagor sends a written notice to Agent or any Lender which purports to limit the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and to release the obligation of Agent or any Lender to make any additional advances, such notice shall be ineffective as to any future advances made: (i) to enable completion of improvements on the Property for which the loan secured hereby was originally made; (ii) to pay taxes, assessments, maintenance charges and insurance premiums; (iii) for costs incurred for protection of the Property or the lien of this Mortgage; (iv) expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender by reason of a default of Mortgagor hereunder or under the Loan Documents; and (v) any other costs incurred by Agent or any Lender to protect and preserve the Property.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that any such advance made by Agent or any Lender after any such notice by Mortgagor shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage on the Property.
