(a) Grantor and Borrower shall obtain and maintain, and shall pay all premiums in accordance with Subsection 3.2(b) below for, insurance for Grantor, Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:

(i) comprehensive all risk insurance (including, without limitation, riot and civil commotion, vandalism, malicious mischief, water, fire, burglary and theft and without any exclusion for terrorism) on the Improvements and the Personal Property and in each case (A) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Security Instrument shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing that the deductible (x) shall be not greater than $250,000, provided Grantor or Borrower maintains the coverages required under this Section through the blanket insurance program then procured by or on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Company or an affiliated entity that continues to control at least a fifty-one percent (51%) interest in the Borrower or the Grantor or (y) in all other cases, shall not exceed the lesser of $10,000.00 or one percent (1%) of the face value of the policy; and (D) containing Demolition Costs, Increased Cost of Construction and “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsements in amounts satisfactory to Beneficiary if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses or the ability to rebuild the Improvements is restricted or prohibited. The Full Replacement Cost may be redetermined from time to time by an appraiser or contractor designated and paid by Beneficiary or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer. No omission on the part of Beneficiary to request any such appraisals shall relieve Grantor or Borrower of any of their obligations under this Subsection;

(ii) comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 and not less than $3,000,000.00 if the Property has one or more elevators, as well as liquor liability insurance in a minimum amount of $2,000,000.00 if any part of the Property is covered by a liquor license and an aggregate coverage limit acceptable to Beneficiary; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Beneficiary in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all written and oral contracts; (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 11 hereof to the extent the same is available; and (D) to be without deductible;

(iii) business income insurance (A) with loss payable to Beneficiary; (B) covering losses of income and Rents derived from the Property and any non-insured property on or adjacent to the Property resulting from any risk or casualty whatsoever; (C) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of eighteen (18) months from the date of the loss, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income from the Property for a period of eighteen (18) months. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined by Beneficiary prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Grantor’s and Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period. All insurance proceeds payable to Beneficiary pursuant to this Subsection 3.2(a) shall be held by Beneficiary and shall be applied to the obligations secured hereunder from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Grantor or Borrower of their obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements: (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a)(i) written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a)(i), (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(v) workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which the Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000.00 per accident and per disease per employee, and $1,000,000.00 for disease aggregate in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);

(vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for explosion), if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Beneficiary and covering all boilers or other pressure vessels, machinery and equipment located at or about the Property (including, without limitation, electrical equipment, sprinkler systems, heating and air conditioning equipment, refrigeration equipment and piping);

(vii) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area,” flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the Full Replacement Cost; and

(viii) such other insurance and in such amounts as Beneficiary from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance (in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity), sinkhole insurance, mine subsidence insurance and environmental insurance.

(b) All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may from time to time be satisfactory to Beneficiary, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located as admitted or unadmitted carriers which, in either case, have been approved by Beneficiary and which have a claims paying ability rating of AA or better issued by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or with a claims paying ability rating otherwise acceptable to Beneficiary (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”). Such Policies shall not be subject to invalidation due to the use or occupancy of the Property for purposes more hazardous than the use of the Property at the time such Policies were issued. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Beneficiary pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a), certified copies of the Policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower or Grantor to Beneficiary; provided, however, that in the case of renewal Policies, Grantor may or Borrower may cause Grantor to furnish Beneficiary with binders therefor to be followed by the original Policies when issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Borrower, Grantor and Beneficiary acknowledge and agree that the Beneficiary shall accept the current providers of the Policies despite certain of such providers not being Qualified Insurers; provided that (x) if any such provider which is not a Qualified Insurer as of the date hereof is downgraded below its claims paying ability rating as of the date hereof, then Grantor shall or Borrower shall cause Grantor to promptly replace such provider with a Qualified Insurer and (y) upon the first renewal of such Policies and at all time thereafter during the term of the Loan, the claims paying ability rating for each provider shall be equal to or better than the rating of such provider as of the date hereof.

(c) Neither Grantor nor Borrower shall obtain (i) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 3.2(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Grantor and Borrower, or (ii) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, Beneficiary’s interest is included therein as provided in this Security Instrument and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer. If Grantor or Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy, Grantor or Borrower shall notify Beneficiary of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Subsection 3.2(a). Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Subsection 3.2(a).

(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Subsection 3.2(a) shall name Beneficiary, its successors and assigns, including any servicers, trustees or other designees of Beneficiary, and Grantor as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, and flood insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing Beneficiary clause in favor of Beneficiary providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Beneficiary.

(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(i) no act or negligence of Grantor, or anyone acting for Grantor, or of any tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Beneficiary is concerned;

(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided on the Property thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Beneficiary and any other party named therein as an insured;

(iii) each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Beneficiary if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

(iv) Beneficiary shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(f) Grantor or Borrower shall furnish to Beneficiary within ten (10) calendar days after Beneficiary’s request therefor made not more than once in any calendar year unless Beneficiary has a reasonable basis to believe that the Grantor and/or Borrower are not in compliance with this Section 3.2, a statement certified by Grantor, Borrower or a duly authorized officer of Grantor or Borrower of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Beneficiary made not more than once in any calendar year unless Beneficiary has a reasonable basis for making such request, verification of the compliance with this Section 3.2 of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Beneficiary.

Should Beneficiary incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including without limitation costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Rate, shall be secured hereby, and Borrower shall reimburse Beneficiary therefor immediately upon demand. Nothing in this Subsection 10.1(b) shall impose any duty, obligation, or responsibility upon Beneficiary for the control, care, management, leasing, or repair of the Property, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any such Lease; nor shall it operate to make Beneficiary responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants or by any other parties, or for any hazardous substances or environmental conditions on or under the Property, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any negligence in the management, leasing, upkeep, repair, or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee, or stranger. Grantor and Borrower hereby assent to, ratify, and confirm any and all actions of Beneficiary with respect to the Property taken under this subsection.

(c) Right to Accelerate. Beneficiary may, without notice (except as provided in Section 9.1(r) above), demand, presentment, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or any other notice or any other action, all of which are hereby waived by Grantor and Borrower and all other parties obligated in any manner whatsoever on the Debt, declare the entire unpaid balance of the Debt immediately due and payable, and upon such declaration, the entire unpaid balance of the Debt shall be immediately due and payable.

(d) Foreclosure-Power of Sale. Beneficiary may institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial, or nonjudicial, by advertisement or otherwise, for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument or the complete or partial sale of the Property under power of sale or under any applicable provision of law. Beneficiary may, through the Trustee, sell the Property, and all estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand of Grantor therein, and all rights of redemption thereof, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, with such elements of real and/or personal property, and at such time and place and upon such terms as it may deem expedient, or as may be required by applicable law, and in the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property.

(e) Rights Pertaining to Sales. Subject to the requirements of applicable law and except as otherwise provided herein, the following provisions shall apply to any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Property under or by virtue of Subsection 10.1(d) above, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale:

(i) Trustee or Beneficiary may conduct any number of sales from time to time. The power of sale set forth above shall not be exhausted by any one or more such sales as to any part of the Property which shall not have been sold, nor by any sale which is not completed or is defective in Beneficiary’s opinion, until the Debt shall have been paid in full.

(ii) Any sale may be postponed or adjourned by public announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such postponed or adjourned sale without further notice.

(iii) After each sale, Beneficiary, Trustee or an officer of any court empowered to do so shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale a good and sufficient instrument or instruments granting, conveying, assigning and transferring all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to the property and rights sold and shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the same as specified in the Note. Each of Trustee and Beneficiary is hereby appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Grantor, which appointment is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, in Grantor’s name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the property and rights so sold, Borrower and Grantor hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue thereof. Nevertheless, Grantor, if requested by Trustee or Beneficiary, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Trustee, Beneficiary or such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in Trustee’s or Beneficiary’s judgment, for the purposes as may be designated in such request.

(iv) Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any of the instruments referred to in Subsection 10.1(e)(iii) given by Trustee or Beneficiary shall be taken as conclusive and binding against all persons as to evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited.

(v) Any such sale or sales shall operate to divest all of the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Grantor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor and any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof or any interest therein, by, through or under Grantor to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(vi) Upon any such sale or sales, Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Property and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the Debt the amount of the bid made therefor, after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale, the cost of any enforcement proceeding hereunder, and any other sums which Trustee or Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under the terms hereof, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid.

(vii) Upon any such sale, it shall not be necessary for Trustee, Beneficiary or any public officer acting under execution or order of court to have present or constructively in its possession any of the Property.

(f) Beneficiary’s Judicial Remedies. Beneficiary, or Trustee upon written request of Beneficiary, may proceed by suit or suits, at law or in equity, to enforce the payment of the Debt to foreclose the liens and security interests of this Security Instrument 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 nonjudicial remedies available to Beneficiary under this Security Instrument, the Note or the Other Loan Documents. Proceeding with a request or receiving a judgment for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an election of remedies or bar any available nonjudicial remedy of Beneficiary.

(g) Beneficiary’s Right to Appointment of Receiver. Beneficiary, as a matter of right and (i) without regard to the sufficiency of the security for repayment of the Debt and without notice to Grantor or Borrower, (ii) without any showing of insolvency, fraud, or mismanagement on the part of Grantor or Borrower, (iii) without the necessity of filing any judicial or other proceeding other than the proceeding for appointment of a receiver, and (iv) without regard to the then value of the Property, shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Property, including (without limitation), the power to collect the Rents, enforce this Security Instrument and, in case of a sale and deficiency, during the full statutory period of redemption (if any), whether there be a redemption or not, as well as during any further times when Grantor and/or Borrower, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collection of such Rents. Grantor and Borrower hereby irrevocably consent to the appointment of a receiver or receivers. Any receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of this subsection shall have the usual powers and duties of receivers in such matters.

(h) Commercial Code Remedies. Beneficiary may exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the Personal Property or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Beneficiary may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Personal Property, and (ii) request Grantor and/or Borrower at its expense to assemble the Personal Property and make it available to Beneficiary at a convenient place acceptable to Beneficiary. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with respect to the Personal Property sent to Grantor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Grantor and Borrower.

(i) Apply Escrow Funds. Beneficiary may apply any Funds (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) and any other sums held in escrow or otherwise by Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument or any Other Loan Document to the payment of the following items in any order in its uncontrolled discretion:

(i) Taxes and Other Charges;

(v) All other sums payable pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents, including without limitation advances made by Beneficiary pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument and reasonable internal costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary including, without limitation, Beneficiary’s reasonable in-house legal fees.

(j) Other Rights. Beneficiary (i) may surrender the Policies maintained pursuant to this Security Instrument or any part thereof, and upon receipt shall apply the unearned premiums as a credit on the Debt, and, in connection therewith, Grantor and/or Borrower hereby appoint Beneficiary as agent and attorney-in-fact (which is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) for Grantor and/or Borrower to collect such premiums; and (ii) may apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) and/or the Replacement Escrow Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) and any other funds held by Beneficiary toward payment of the Debt; and (iii) shall have and may exercise any and all other rights and remedies which Beneficiary may have at law or in equity, or by virtue of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise.

(k) Discontinuance of Remedies. In case Beneficiary shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy, or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon same for any reason, Beneficiary shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such event, Grantor, Borrower and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Debt, the Loan Documents, the Property or otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Beneficiary shall continue as if same had never been invoked.

(l) Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and recourses of Beneficiary granted in the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents, any other pledge of collateral, or otherwise available at law or equity: (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (ii) may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently against Grantor, Borrower, the Property, or any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Beneficiary; (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Grantor and Borrower that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse; (iv) shall be nonexclusive; (v) shall not be conditioned upon Beneficiary exercising or pursuing any remedy in relation to the Property prior to Beneficiary bringing suit to recover the Debt; and (vi) in the event Beneficiary elects to bring suit on the Debt and obtains a judgment against Borrower prior to exercising any remedies in relation to the Property, all liens and security interests, including the lien of this Security Instrument, shall remain in full force and effect and may be exercised thereafter at Beneficiary’s option.

(m) Bankruptcy Acknowledgment. In the event the Property or any portion thereof or any interest therein becomes property of any bankruptcy estate or subject to any state or federal insolvency proceeding, then Beneficiary shall immediately become entitled, in addition to all other relief to which Beneficiary may be entitled under this Security Instrument, to obtain (i) an order from the Bankruptcy Court or other appropriate court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to §362 of the Bankruptcy Code so to permit Beneficiary to pursue its rights and remedies against Grantor and Borrower as provided under this Security Instrument and all other rights and remedies of Beneficiary at law and in equity under applicable state law, and (ii) an order from the Bankruptcy Court prohibiting Grantor and/or Borrower’s use of all “cash collateral” as defined under §363 of the Bankruptcy Code. In connection with such Bankruptcy Court orders, Grantor and/or Borrower shall not contend or allege in any pleading or petition filed in any court proceeding that Beneficiary does not have sufficient grounds for relief from the automatic stay. Any bankruptcy petition or other action taken by the Grantor and/or Borrower to stay, condition, or inhibit Beneficiary from exercising its remedies are hereby admitted by Grantor and/or Borrower to be in bad faith and Grantor and/or Borrower further admit that Beneficiary would have just cause for relief from the automatic stay in order to take such actions authorized under state law.

(n) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from any sale, lease, or other disposition made pursuant to this Security Instrument, or the proceeds from the surrender of any insurance policies pursuant hereto, or any Rents collected by Beneficiary from the Property, or the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund or the Replacement Escrow Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) or proceeds from insurance which Beneficiary elects to apply to the Debt pursuant to Article 3 hereof, shall be applied by Trustee, or by Beneficiary, as the case may be, to the Debt in the following order and priority: (1) to the payment of all expenses of advertising, selling, and conveying the Property or part thereof, and/or prosecuting or otherwise collecting Rents, proceeds, premiums or other sums including reasonable attorneys’ fees and a reasonable fee or commission to Trustee, not to exceed five percent of the proceeds thereof or sums so received; (2) to that portion, if any, of the Debt with respect to which no person or entity has personal or entity liability for payment (the “Exculpated Portion”), and with respect to the Exculpated Portion as follows: first, to accrued but unpaid interest, second, to matured principal, and third, to unmatured principal in inverse order of maturity; (3) to the remainder of the Debt as follows: first, to the remaining accrued but unpaid interest, second, to the matured portion of principal of the Debt, and third, to prepayment of the unmatured portion, if any, of principal of the Debt applied to installments of principal in inverse order of maturity; (4) the balance, if any or to the extent applicable, remaining after the full and final payment of the Debt to the holder or beneficiary of any inferior liens covering the Property, if any, in order of the priority of such inferior liens (Trustee and Beneficiary shall hereby be entitled to rely exclusively on a commitment for title insurance issued to determine such priority); and (5) the cash balance, if any, to the Borrower. The application of proceeds of sale or other proceeds as otherwise provided herein shall be deemed to be a payment of the Debt like any other payment. The balance of the Debt remaining unpaid, if any, shall remain fully due and owing in accordance with the terms of the Note and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.2 RIGHT OF ENTRY. Beneficiary and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice and subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases at the Property.

(a) Both Grantor and Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Beneficiary and Trustee harmless against: (i) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finder’s 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 Beneficiary’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) of whatever kind or nature which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by Beneficiary or Trustee in connection with the Debt, this Security Instrument, the Property, or any part thereof, or the exercise by Beneficiary or Trustee of any rights or remedies granted to it under this Security Instrument; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Grantor or Borrower to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Beneficiary from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses enacted against, imposed on or incurred by Beneficiary by reason of Beneficiary’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b) If Beneficiary is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened or brought against Beneficiary concerning the secured indebtedness, this Security Instrument, the Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or the construction, maintenance, operation or occupancy or use thereof, then Beneficiary shall notify Grantor or Borrower of such litigation or claim and both Grantor and Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against all liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any). The right to such attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in any such litigation or claim of the type described in this Subsection 11.1(b), whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment, shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such claim or action and shall be enforceable whether or not such claim or action is prosecuted to judgment. If Beneficiary commences an action against both Grantor and Borrower to enforce any of the terms hereof or to prosecute any breach by both Grantor and Borrower of any of the terms hereof or to recover any sum secured hereby, Borrower shall pay to Beneficiary its reasonable attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses. If Grantor or Borrower breaches any term of this Security Instrument, Beneficiary 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 and/or Grantor, Borrower shall pay Beneficiary reasonable attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by Beneficiary, whether or not an action is actually commenced against Borrower or Grantor by reason of such breach. All references to “attorneys” in this Subsection 11.1(b) and elsewhere in this Security Instrument shall include without limitation any attorney or law firm engaged by Beneficiary and Beneficiary’s in-house counsel, and all references to “fees and expenses” in this Subsection 11.1(b) and elsewhere in this Security Instrument shall include without limitation any reasonable fees of such attorney or law firm and any reasonable allocation charges and allocation costs of Beneficiary’s in-house counsel.

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

ARTICLE 12 — SECURITY AGREEMENT

Section 12.1 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Security Instrument is both a leasehold mortgage and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Grantor in the Property. Grantor by executing and delivering this Security Instrument has granted and hereby grants to Beneficiary, as security for the Obligations, a security interest in the Property to the full extent that the Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called in this paragraph the “Collateral”). Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to prepare and file, in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, such financing statements, continuation statements, other uniform commercial code forms and shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof, and such further assurances as Beneficiary may from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Beneficiary’s security interest herein granted. This Security Instrument shall also be effective as a “fixture filing” as to property which is or is to become fixtures. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Security Instrument. If an Event of Default shall occur, Beneficiary, in addition to any other rights and remedies which they may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Beneficiary may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Beneficiary, Grantor shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary at a convenient place acceptable to Beneficiary. Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Beneficiary in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with respect to the Collateral sent to Grantor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Grantor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the Obligations in such priority and proportions as Beneficiary in its discretion shall deem proper. Grantor shall promptly advise Beneficiary of the accrual of any commercial tort claims involving the Property. In the event of any change in name, identity, structure, or jurisdiction or form of organization of Borrower or Grantor, Grantor and/or Borrower shall notify Beneficiary thereof, and Beneficiary shall be authorized to prepare and file such Uniform Commercial Code forms as Beneficiary may deem necessary to maintain the priority of Beneficiary’s lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and Borrower or Grantor shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with such filing. Beneficiary shall also be authorized to prepare and file such other additional Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements as Beneficiary shall deem necessary, and Borrower or Grantor shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing thereof, it being understood and agreed, however, that no such additional documents shall increase Borrower’s obligations under the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents. Grantor and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoint Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing or other statements signed only by Beneficiary, as Grantor’s and Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, in connection with the Collateral covered by this Security Instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor and Borrower shall appear and defend in any action or proceeding which affects or purports to affect the Property and any interest or right therein, whether such proceeding effects title or any other rights in the Property (and in conjunction therewith, Grantor and Borrower shall fully cooperate with Beneficiary in the event Beneficiary is a party to such action or proceeding).

ARTICLE 13 — WAIVERS

Section 13.1 MARSHALLING AND OTHER MATTERS. Grantor and Borrower hereby waive, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Grantor and Borrower hereby expressly waive any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Security Instrument on behalf of either Grantor or Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of this Security Instrument and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 13.2 WAIVER OF NOTICE. Neither Grantor nor Borrower shall be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Beneficiary except with respect to matters for which this Security Instrument specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by Beneficiary to Grantor or Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Beneficiary is required by applicable law to give notice, and both Grantor and Borrower hereby expressly waive the right to receive any notice from Beneficiary with respect to any matter for which this Security Instrument does not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Beneficiary to Borrower or Grantor.

Section 13.3 SOLE DISCRETION OF BENEFICIARY. Wherever pursuant to this Security Instrument Beneficiary exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Beneficiary, the decision of Beneficiary to approve or disapprove or to decide that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall be in the sole discretion of Beneficiary and shall be final and conclusive, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein.

Section 13.4 SURVIVAL.

Section 15.2 USURY LAWS. This Security Instrument and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Debt at a rate which could subject the holder of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Security Instrument or the Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Debt at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the Security Instrument and the Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of the Note. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.

ARTICLE 16 — SECONDARY MARKET

Section 16.1 TRANSFER OF LOAN. (a) Beneficiary may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “Securities”). Beneficiary will have a one-time right to change the Payment Date under the Note with not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to Borrower and Grantor. Beneficiary may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Securities or any Rating Agency (as hereinafter defined) rating such Securities (collectively, the “Investor”) and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Beneficiary now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt and to Borrower, Grantor, any Guarantor and the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise, as Beneficiary determines necessary or desirable. The term “Rating Agency” shall mean each statistical rating agency that has assigned a rating to the Securities.

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

(b) Beneficiary shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages, deeds of trust and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations and priorities as Beneficiary shall determine in its sole discretion, provided, however, that the terms, provisions and clauses of the Severed Loan Documents shall be no more adverse to Borrower or Grantor than those contained in the Note, the IDOT Guaranty, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby acknowledges that partial prepayments of principal under separate notes may cause the weighted average interest rate to change over time due to the non pro-rata allocation of such prepayments between any such separate notes, participations or components; provided, however the interest rate spread for each such note, participation or component shall not change. Borrower and/or Grantor shall, at Beneficiary’s sole expense, execute and deliver to Beneficiary from time to time, promptly after the request of Beneficiary, a severance agreement and such other documents as Beneficiary shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary. Grantor and Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Beneficiary 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, Grantor and Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, that Beneficiary shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until (i) if such exercise by Beneficiary shall not be of an urgent nature, not less than five (5) Business Days or (ii) in all other cases, not less than three (3) days has passed after notice has been given to Grantor or Borrower by Beneficiary of Beneficiary’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Wachovia Bank, National Association shall be the initial servicer of the Loan.

Section 21.4 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF TRUSTEE.

(a) If there shall occur an Event of Default under this Security Instrument, then this Security Instrument is subject to foreclosure as provided by law.

The Grantor assents to the passage of a decree for the sale of the Property and further authorizes the Trustee to sell the Property pursuant to Section 7-105 of the Real Property Article, Annotated Code of Maryland, as amended, and Rule 14-101, et. seq. of the Maryland Rules of Procedure, as amended, or other applicable law.

(b) If one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the Trustee is then authorized and shall have the power and the duty at the direction of Beneficiary to proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity or by any other appropriate remedy to protect and enforce the rights of Beneficiary whether for specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or to enforce payment of the Obligations, or to foreclose this Security Instrument, or to sell the Property under the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise. Grantor, in accordance with Title 14, Chapter 200 of the Maryland Rules of Procedure, or of any other general or local laws or rules or regulations of the State of Maryland relating to mortgages and deeds of trust including any amendments thereof or supplements thereto which do not materially change or impair the remedy, does hereby declare and assent to the passage of a decree to sell the Property by the equity court having jurisdiction for the sale of the Property and the trustee or trustees appointed by such decree of court shall have, subject to the terms of the decree of court, the same authority and power to sell on the terms and conditions herein set forth, and for such purposes the word “Trustee” shall be deemed to include the trustee or trustees so appointed. This assent to decree shall not be exhausted in the event the proceeding is dismissed before the Obligations secured hereby are paid in full. In connection with any foreclosure, Beneficiary and/or Trustee may (y) procure such title reports, surveys, tax histories and appraisals as they deem necessary, and (z) make such repairs and additions to the Property as they deem advisable, all of which shall constitute Expenses (hereinafter defined).

(c) If one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the Trustee, at the direction of Beneficiary, shall sell, and in the case of default of any purchaser or purchasers shall resell all the Property as an entirety, or in such parcels and in such order as Beneficiary shall in writing request, or in the absence of such request, as the Trustee may determine, by one sale or by several sales, and any fixtures or collateral encumbered by this Security Instrument may be sold at the same sale as the Property or in one or more sales (Grantor hereby waiving for itself and for any person claiming by or through it application of the doctrines of marshalling of assets), at public auction at some convenient place or places in the jurisdiction in the State of Maryland where the Property is situate, or in such other place or places as may be permitted by law, at such time, in such manner and upon such terms as the Trustee may fix and briefly specify in each notice of sale, which notice of sale shall state the time when, and the place where, the same is to be made, shall contain a brief general description of the property to be sold, and shall be sufficiently given if published once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks prior to such sale in at least one newspaper printed in the English language and customarily published in the place or places where such sale is to take place, or in such other manner as may be required by law and Beneficiary or the Trustee may cause such further public advertisement to be made as they may deem advisable, and any such sale may be adjourned by the Trustee by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale, and, without further notice or publication, such sale may be made at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned. If one or more leases are entered into or recorded subsequent to the recording of this Security Instrument or are otherwise subordinate to this Security Instrument, the Trustee shall sell, at the direction of the Beneficiary, subject to any one or more of such tenancies that are designated and selected by the Beneficiary. For purposes of this Article 21, “Expenses” means all costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever incurred at any time and from time to time (whether before or after an Event of Default) by Beneficiary or Trustee in exercising or enforcing any rights, powers and remedies provided in this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, receivers’ fees, management fees and costs incurred in the repair, maintenance and operation of, or taking possession of the Property, subject to the terms and provisions contained in the space Leases and the Ground Lease as to the costs for maintenance and repair, or selling, the Property.

(d) Upon the completion of any sale and compliance with all the terms thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient deed of conveyance, assignment and transfer, lawfully conveying, assigning and transferring the property sold. Payment to the Trustee of the entire purchase money shall be full and sufficient discharge of any purchaser or purchasers of the property, sold as aforesaid, for the purchase money; and no such purchaser, or his representatives, successors or assigns, after paying such purchase money and receiving the deed shall be bound to see the application of such purchase money.

(e) Beneficiary and any affiliate thereof may be a purchaser of the Property or of any part thereof or of any interest therein at any public sale thereof, whether pursuant to foreclosure or power of sale or otherwise hereunder, without forfeiting its right to collect any deficiency from Borrower or Grantor; and Beneficiary may apply upon the purchase price the Debt secured hereby owing to Beneficiary. Beneficiary, upon any such purchase, shall acquire good title to the properties so purchased, free of the lien of this Security Instrument and free of all rights of redemption in Grantor and/or Borrower and free of all liens and encumbrances subordinate to this Security Instrument.

(f) In the case of any sale of the Property or of any part thereof, whether under the power of sale herein granted, assent to decree or through judicial proceedings, the purchase money, proceeds and avails thereof, together with any other sums which may then be held as security hereunder or be due under any of the provisions hereof as a part of the Property, shall be applied as follows:

FIRST, to pay all proper costs, charges, fees and expenses herein provided for and to pay all Expenses incurred in connection with such sale or in preparing the Property for such sale and of obtaining possession including, among other things, counsel fees of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for conducting the proceedings if without contest, but if legal services are rendered to Trustee or Beneficiary in connection with any contested matter in the proceedings, then such additional counsel fees and expenses shall be allowed out of the proceeds of sale or sales as the court may deem proper; and also to pay a commission to the auctioneer conducting the sale of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00);

SECOND, to pay whatever may then remain unpaid of the Obligations and the interest thereon to the date of payment, whether the same shall be due or not, it being agreed that the Obligations shall, upon such sale being made before the maturity thereof, be and become immediately due and payable at the election of Beneficiary and to pay all of the indebtedness secured hereby;

THIRD, to pay the remainder of said proceeds, if any, less the expense, if any, of obtaining possession, to Borrower, Grantor or other party lawfully entitled to receive the same, upon the delivery and surrender of possession of the Property sold and conveyed and delivery of all records, books, bank accounts, Leases, agreements, security deposits of the lessees and all other material relating to the operation of the Property to the said purchaser or purchasers.

(g) If one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, Beneficiary may, at its option, declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the Obligations (if not already due and payable) to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the documents evidencing or securing the Obligations or in this Security Instrument to the contrary notwithstanding; and in the event of any sale of all or any part of the Property, whether made under the power of sale herein granted, assent to a decree or through judicial proceedings, such unpaid principal amount shall automatically and without notice become so due and payable. If Beneficiary exercises Beneficiary’s option to declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the Obligations to be due and payable, Borrower covenants to pay immediately the full amount of the indebtedness secured hereby even though foreclosure or other court proceedings to collect the indebtedness have not been commenced. Acceptance by the Beneficiary of partial payment after a default or an Event of Default, with or without knowledge of the default or Event of Default, shall not be a waiver of the default or Event of Default unless Beneficiary shall specifically state in writing that the acceptance waives the default or Event of Default or states further conditions which must be satisfied to constitute such a waiver. The failure of Beneficiary to exercise the option for acceleration of maturity, foreclosure, or either, following an Event of Default or to exercise any other option or privilege granted to Beneficiary hereunder in any one or more instances or the acceptance by Beneficiary of partial payments hereunder, shall not constitute a waiver of any such default, but such option privilege shall remain continuously in force. Acceleration of maturity, once declared by Beneficiary, may at the option of Beneficiary, be rescinded by written acknowledgement to the effect by Beneficiary, but the tender and acceptance of partial payments alone shall not rescind or affect in any way such acceleration of maturity.

(h) If one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, Grantor and/or Borrower shall, upon demand, forthwith surrender the actual possession, and, to the extent permitted by law, Beneficiary, by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of the Property and may exclude Grantor and Borrower, its agents and servants wholly therefrom, and having and holding the same, may use, operate, manage and control the Property or any part thereof, and upon every such entry Beneficiary, at the expense of Grantor and Borrower and of the Property, from time to time may make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals, replacements and useful or required alterations, additions, betterments and improvements to and upon the Property as it may seem judicious and pay all costs and expenses of so taking, holding and managing the same, including reasonable compensation to its employees and other agents (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and management and rental commissions) and any taxes, assessments and other charges prior to the legal operation and effect of this Security Instrument which Beneficiary may deem it wise or desirable to pay, and in such case Beneficiary shall have the right to manage the Property and to carry on the business and exercise of all rights and powers of Grantor and Borrower, either in the name of Grantor and Borrower, or otherwise, as Beneficiary shall deem advisable; and Beneficiary shall be entitled to collect and receive all rents thereof and therefrom. The taking of possession and collection of rents by Beneficiary shall not be construed to be an affirmation of any lease or acceptance of any attornment with respect to any lease of all or any portion of the Property. After deducting the expenses of operating the Property and of conducting the business thereof, and of all repairs, maintenance, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments, improvements and all payments which it may be required or may elect to make for taxes or other proper charges on the Property, or any part thereof, as well as just and reasonable compensation for all its employees and other agents (including, without limitations, attorneys’ fees and management and rental commissions) engaged and employed, the moneys arising as aforesaid shall be applied to the indebtedness secured hereby. Whenever all that is due upon the principal of and interest on the Obligations and under any of the terms of this Security Instrument shall have been paid and all defaults made good, Beneficiary shall surrender possession to Grantor and Borrower. The same right of entry, however, shall exist if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur.

(i) The Trustee may act hereunder and may sell and convey the Property as herein provided, although the Trustee has been, may now be or may hereafter be, and attorney or agent of any Beneficiary, in respect of any matter or business whatsoever.

(a) Grantor will comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the Ground Lease. Grantor will not do or permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will impair or tend to impair the security of the Premises under the Ground Lease or will be grounds for declaring a forfeiture of the Ground Lease.

(b) Grantor shall enforce the Ground Lease and will not terminate, modify, cancel, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, or waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge the lessor under the Ground Lease (the “Ground Lessor”) of or from any of the material covenants and conditions to be performed or observed by the Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease. Grantor hereby expressly covenants with Beneficiary not to cancel, surrender, amend, modify or alter in any way the terms of the Ground Lease. Grantor hereby assigns to Beneficiary, as further security for the payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Security Instrument, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Grantor, as tenant under the Ground Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, and any such surrender of the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease without the prior consent of Beneficiary shall be void and of no force and effect.

(c) Grantor will give Beneficiary prompt (and in all events within five (5) days) notice of any default under the Ground Lease or of the receipt by Grantor of any notice of default from Ground Lessor. Grantor will promptly (and in all events within (5) days) furnish to Beneficiary copies of all information furnished to Ground Lessor by the terms of the Ground Lease or the provisions of this Section. Grantor will deposit with Beneficiary an exact copy of any notice, communication, plan, specification or other instrument or document received or given by Grantor in any way relating to or affecting the Ground Lease which may concern or affect the estate of Ground Lessor or Grantor thereunder in or under the Ground Lease or in the real estate thereby demised.

(d) Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any obligations of Grantor under the terms of the Ground Lease during the continuance of a default. All costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, shall be treated as an advance secured by this Security Instrument, shall bear interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment by Beneficiary until paid in full and shall be paid by Grantor to Beneficiary during the continuance of an Event of Default within five (5) days after demand. No performance by Beneficiary of any obligations of Grantor shall constitute a waiver of any default arising by reason of Grantor’s failure to perform the same. If Beneficiary shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with this Section 22.1(c), Beneficiary will notify Grantor of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action. In any such event, subject to the rights of lessees, sublessees and other occupants under the Leases, Beneficiary and any person designated by Beneficiary shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action.

(e) To the extent permitted by law, the price payable by Grantor or any other person or entity in the exercise of any right of redemption following foreclosure of the Property shall include all rents paid and other sums advanced by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate as ground lessee under the Ground Lease, on behalf of Grantor on account of the Property.

(f) Unless Beneficiary shall otherwise consent, the fee title and the leasehold estate in the Property shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in Ground Lessor or in Grantor, or in a third party, by purchase or otherwise.

(g) Upon prior written consent from Beneficiary, which Beneficiary may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, Grantor may acquire the fee title to the Land. Upon acquisition of the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the Property, this Security Instrument shall, automatically and without the necessity of execution of any other documents, attach to and cover and be a lien upon such other estate so acquired, and such other estate shall be considered as mortgaged, assigned and conveyed to Beneficiary and the lien hereof spread to cover such estate with the same force and effect as though specifically herein mortgaged, assigned and conveyed. Grantor and Borrower agree, at their sole cost and expense, including without limitation Beneficiary’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, to (i) execute any and all documents or instruments necessary to subject its fee title to the Land to the lien of this Security Instrument; and (ii) provide a title insurance policy which shall insure that the lien of this Security Instrument is a first lien on Grantor’s fee title to the Land. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Ground Lease is for any reason whatsoever terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term, and if, pursuant to any provisions of the Ground Lease or otherwise, Beneficiary or its designee shall acquire from the landlord thereunder another lease of the Property, Grantor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such other lease or the leasehold estate created thereby unless Beneficiary shall so elect.

(h) If the Ground Lessor shall deliver to Beneficiary a copy of any notice of default sent by the Ground Lessor to Grantor, as tenant under the Ground Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Beneficiary for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Beneficiary in reliance thereon.

(i) Grantor shall not cancel any individual option, if any, to automatically extend or renew the term of the Ground Lease without written consent of the Beneficiary, and Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Beneficiary its attorney-in-fact to nullify any cancellation notice sent by Grantor that is not also signed by Beneficiary and act in the name of and upon behalf of Grantor to automatically extend the Ground Lease if Grantor fails to act as herein required, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

(j) Each space Lease hereafter made and each renewal of any existing Lease shall provide that, (i) in the event of the termination of the Ground Lease, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the lessee; (ii) in the event of any action for the foreclosure of this Security Instrument, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the subtenant by reason of the termination of the Ground Lease unless the lessee is specifically named and joined in any such action and unless a judgment is obtained therein against the lessee; and (iii) in the event that the Ground Lease is terminated as aforesaid, the lessee under the Lease shall attorn to the lessee under the Ground Lease or to the purchaser at the sale of the Property on such foreclosure, as the case may be.

(k) Grantor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Beneficiary all of Grantor’s claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by the Ground Lessor of the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. Grantor shall notify Beneficiary promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days) of any claim, suit action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Ground Lease. Beneficiary is hereby irrevocably appointed as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Grantor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code during the continuance of any default. Grantor may make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceedings (subject to Beneficiary’s reasonable approval); provided, however, that Beneficiary shall be authorized and entitled to compromise or settle any such proceeding if such compromise or settlement is made after the occurrence and during the continuance of any default. Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver to Beneficiary any and all instruments reasonably required in connection with any such proceeding after request therefor by Beneficiary. Except as set forth above, Grantor shall not adjust, compromise, settle or enter into any agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.

(l) Grantor shall not, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, elect to .treat the Ground Lease as terminated under Section 365(h)(l) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such election made without Beneficiary’s prior written consent shall be void.

(m) If pursuant to Section 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Grantor seeks to offset against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the non-performance by the Ground Lessor of any of the Ground Lessor’s obligations under the Ground Lease after the rejection by the Ground Lessor of the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, Grantor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Beneficiary of its intention to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. If Beneficiary has failed to object as aforesaid within ten (10) days after notice from Grantor in accordance with the first sentence of this Subsection (l), Grantor may proceed to effect such offset in the amounts set forth in Grantor’s notice. Neither Beneficiary’s failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection or other communication between Beneficiary and Grantor relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Beneficiary. Grantor shall indemnify and save Beneficiary harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs and expenses of every nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising from or relating to any such offset by Grantor against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease.

(n) If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of Grantor or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Property in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Beneficiary shall have the option, to the exclusion of Grantor, exercisable upon notice from Beneficiary to Grantor, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel of Beneficiary’s choice. Beneficiary may proceed in its own name or in the name of Grantor in connection with any such litigation, and Grantor agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents and other documents required by Beneficiary in connection therewith. Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) paid or incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings within five (5) days after notice from Beneficiary setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail. Any such costs or expenses not paid by Grantor as aforesaid shall be secured by the lien of this Security Instrument, shall be added to the principal amount of the Debt and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Grantor shall not commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in respect of the Ground Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.(o) Grantor shall immediately, after obtaining knowledge thereof,         .notify Beneficiary of any filing by or against the Ground Lessor of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Grantor shall thereafter forthwith give written notice of such filing to Beneficiary, setting forth any information available to Grantor as to the date of such filing, the court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought therein. Grantor shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary following receipt any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Grantor in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.

(p) If there shall be filed by or against Grantor a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and Grantor, as the tenant under the Ground Lease, shall determine to reject the Ground Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Grantor shall give Beneficiary not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice of the date on which Grantor shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Ground Lease. Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Grantor within such 10-day period a notice stating that (i) Beneficiary demands that Grantor assume and assign the Ground Lease to Beneficiary pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Beneficiary covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Ground Lease. If Beneficiary serves upon Grantor the notice described in the preceding sentence, Grantor shall not seek to reject the Ground Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Beneficiary of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

(q) Effective upon the entry of an order for relief in respect of Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code, Grantor hereby assigns and transfers to Beneficiary a non-exclusive right to apply to the Bankruptcy Code under Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code for an order extending the period during which the Ground Lease may be rejected or assumed.

(r) Grantor represents and warrants that (i) the lien of any mortgage now or hereafter placed on the fee title to the Premises is and will be subject and subordinate to the Ground Lease and to any New Lease (hereinafter defined); (ii) if there shall be a condemnation or taking in lieu of a condemnation of the fee title to the Premises, subject to amounts which are applied to restoration, Grantor is entitled under the Ground Lease to receive such portion of the award for such condemnation or taking in lieu of condemnation as equals the value of Grantor’s estate under the Ground Lease and improvements made by Grantor, as provided in Section 33 of the Ground Lease, and if there shall be a casualty under a Ground Lease, either there is an obligation to use insurance proceeds for a full restoration or Grantor is entitled to receive such portion of such proceeds as equals the value of improvements made by Grantor, as provided in Section 21 of the Ground Lease; (iii) Grantor is authorized to assign its interest in any condemnation award which Grantor is entitled to receive pursuant to the Ground Lease; (iv) pursuant to Section 35 of the Ground Lease, the Ground Lease may be foreclosed by the Lender or its nominee and assigned to a trustee in a securitization or special servicer without the consent of Ground Lessor and upon an assignment of Grantor’s interest in the Ground Lease through a foreclosure, the assignee, may, further assign such Ground Lease with the consent of the Ground Lessor pursuant to Section 18 of the Lease, such not to be unreasonably withheld pursuant to Section 18 of the Lease and by the terms of the assignment, be released from all obligations on the part of the ground lessee under the Ground Lease arising thereafter, and the Ground Lease may be assigned by Grantor to other persons in accordance with the provisions of Section 18 of the Ground Lease; (v) subject to Sections 34 and 35 of the Ground Lease, Grantor has the right under the Ground Lease to mortgage the Ground Lease and the leasehold estate thereby created with the prior consent of Ground Lessor which has been obtained; (vi) Grantor has the right to sublease or otherwise encumber, subject to matters disclosed pursuant to clause (iv) above and Section 18 of the Ground Lease without restriction, all or any part of the Property without the consent of Ground Lessor; (vii) subject to Section 35 of the Ground Lease, if any default by Grantor shall occur under the Ground Lease, Beneficiary is entitled under the Ground Lease to receive notice of such default from Ground Lessor and a commercially reasonable opportunity to cure any such default which is susceptible of cure by Beneficiary, which, in the case of any non-monetary default susceptible of cure by Beneficiary, includes the right of Beneficiary or its designee to acquire possession of the Property by means of foreclosure of this Security Instrument or by other means and to become the lessee under the Ground Lease, and so long as Beneficiary has agreed to effectuate a cure and is proceeding to cure any such non-monetary default and no monetary default remains uncured beyond any applicable notice and grace periods to which Grantor and Beneficiary are entitled, Ground Lessor may not terminate the Ground Lease; (viii) provided that no monetary default remains uncured beyond any applicable notice and grace periods to which Grantor and Beneficiary are entitled, the Ground Lease may not be terminated by Ground Lessor by reason of any default by Grantor which is not susceptible of cure by Beneficiary, unless Beneficiary is provided an opportunity to enter into a New Lease with the Ground Lessor as described in clause (ix) below; (ix) subject to Section 35(f) of the Ground Lease if the Ground Lease is terminated by reason of a default by Grantor, Beneficiary or its designee is entitled under the Ground Lease to enter into a new lease (the “New Lease”) with Ground Lessor for the remainder of the term of the Ground Lease upon the same base rent and additional rent and other terms, covenants, conditions and agreements as are contained in the Ground Lease; (x) the Ground Lease requires the Ground Lessor to give copies of all notices of default which are given under the Ground Lease to Grantor to Beneficiary pursuant to Section 35(d) of the Ground Lease; (xi) the Ground Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties thereto and is in full force and effect and has not been modified or supplemented except by that certain Ground Lessor Estoppel between Lender, Grantor and Ground Lessor; (xii) the Ground Lease cannot be canceled solely by Ground Lessor and requires Grantor’s consent for all modifications; (xiii) all rents (including additional rents and other charges) reserved for in the Ground Lease and payable prior to the date hereof have been paid; (xiv) no party to the Ground Lease is in default of any obligation such party has thereunder and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute such a default;
