Each of Borrower and, if applicable, the General Partner, (i) is and has at all times been Solvent and will remain Solvent immediately upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and (ii) is free from bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement proceedings or a general assignment for the benefit of creditors and is not contemplating the filing of a petition under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of such Person’s assets or property and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or, if applicable, the General Partner. None of the transactions contemplated hereby will be or have been made with an intent to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditors of Borrower and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Borrower’s assets do not, and immediately upon consummation of the transaction contemplated in the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as presently conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, nor believes that it will, incur debts and liabilities beyond its ability to pay such debts as they may mature.
(q) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan shall be applied by Borrower to, inter alia, (i) purchase the Property and, if applicable, satisfy certain mortgage loans presently encumbering all or a part of the Property and (ii) pay certain transaction costs incurred by Borrower in connection with the Loan. No portion of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for family, personal, agricultural or household use.
(r) Tax Filings. Borrower and, if applicable, each General Partner, have filed all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower and, if applicable, the General Partners. Borrower and, if applicable, the General Partners, believe that their respective tax returns properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower and said General Partner, if any, for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.
(s) Not Foreign Person. Borrower is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of §1445(f)(3) of the Code.
(t) ERISA. (i) Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is, or is acting on behalf of: (a) an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, that is subject to Part 4 of Title I of ERISA; (b) a “plan” within the meaning of section 4975(e)(1) of the Code that is subject to section 4975 of the Code or (c) any other entity that is deemed under applicable law to hold the assets of a plan described in (a) or (b) and this representation shall be deemed to be continuing in nature for all periods that this Security Instrument is in effect. Each Plan is in compliance with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, its terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Legal Requirement, except to the extent the foregoing could not have a Material Adverse Effect, and no event or condition has occurred and is continuing as to which Borrower would be under an obligation to furnish a report to Lender under clause (ii)(A) of this Section. With respect to each Plan maintained or contributed to by Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate thereof (a) there is no actual or contingent material liability of Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate under Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code to any person or entity, including the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, IRS, any such Plan or participants (or their beneficiaries) in any such Plan (other than the obligation to pay routine benefit claims when due under the terms of such Plan), (b) the assets of Borrower or Guarantor have not been subject to a lien under ERISA or the Code and (c) there is no basis for such material liability or the assertion of any such lien with respect to the assets of Borrower or Guarantor as the result of or after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Security Instrument. Except to the extent the following could not have a Material Adverse Effect, no Welfare Plan provides or will provide benefits, including, without limitation, death or medical benefits (whether or not insured) with respect to any current or former employee of Borrower or Guarantor beyond his or her retirement or other termination of service other than (A) coverage mandated by applicable law, (B) death or disability benefits that have been fully provided for by fully paid up insurance or (C) severance benefits.
(ii) Borrower will furnish to Lender as soon as possible, and in any event within ten (10) days after Borrower knows or has reason to believe that any of the events or conditions specified below with respect to any Plan, Welfare Plan or Multiemployer Plan has occurred or exists, an Officer’s
Certificate setting forth details respecting such event or condition and the action, if any, that Borrower or its ERISA Affiliate proposes to take with respect thereto (and a copy of any report or notice required to be filed with or given to PBGC (or any other relevant Governmental Authority)) by Borrower or an ERISA Affiliate with respect to such event or condition, if such report or notice is required to be filed with the PBGC or any other relevant Governmental Authority:

(D) the complete or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate that results in material liability under Section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA (including the obligation to satisfy secondary liability as a result of a purchaser default) or the receipt by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of notice from a Multiemployer Plan that it is in reorganization or insolvency pursuant to Section 4241 or 4245 of ERISA or that it intends to terminate or has terminated under Section 4041A of ERISA;
(E) the institution of a proceeding by a fiduciary of any Multiemployer Plan against Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate to enforce Section 515 of ERISA, which proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days;
(F) the adoption of an amendment to any Plan that, pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code or Section 307 of ERISA, would result in the loss of tax-exempt status of the trust of which such Plan is a part if Borrower or an ERISA Affiliate fails to timely provide security to the Plan in accordance with the provisions of said Sections;
(G) the imposition of a lien or a security interest in connection with a Plan; or
(H) Borrower or Guarantor permits any Welfare Plan to provide benefits, including without limitation, medical benefits (whether or not insured), with respect to any current or former employee of Borrower or Guarantor beyond his or her retirement or other termination of service other than (1) coverage mandated by applicable law, (2) death or disability benefits that have been fully provided for by paid up insurance or otherwise or (3) severance benefits.
(iii) Borrower shall not knowingly engage in or permit any transaction in connection with which Borrower or Guarantor could be subject to either a material civil penalty or tax assessed pursuant to Section 502(i) or 502(l) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, to the extent it could have a Material Adverse Effect, permit any Welfare Plan to provide benefits, including without limitation, medical benefits (whether or not insured), with respect to any current or former employee of Borrower or Guarantor beyond

(u) Labor Matters. No organized work stoppage or labor strike is pending or threatened by employees or other laborers at the Property and neither Borrower nor Manager (i) is involved in or threatened with any labor dispute, grievance or litigation relating to labor matters involving any employees and other laborers at the Property, including, without limitation, violation of any federal, state or local labor, safety or employment laws (domestic or foreign) and/or charges of unfair labor practices or discrimination complaints; (ii) has engaged in any unfair labor practices within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act or the Railway Labor Act; or (iii) except to the extent previously disclosed to Lender in writing, is a party to, or bound by, any collective bargaining agreement or union contract with respect to employees and other laborers at the Property and no such agreement or contract is currently being negotiated by Borrower, Manager or any of their Affiliates.

(w) Compliance with Anti-Terrorism, Embargo and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. (i) None of Borrower, General Partner, any Guarantor, or any Person who owns any equity interest in or Controls Borrower, General Partner or any Guarantor currently is identified on the OFAC List or otherwise qualifies as a Prohibited Person, and Borrower has implemented procedures, approved by Borrower and, if applicable, General Partner, to ensure that no Person who now or hereafter owns an equity interest in Borrower or General Partner is a Prohibited Person or Controlled by a Prohibited Person, (ii) no proceeds of the Loan will be used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to, Prohibited Persons, and (iii) none of Borrower, General Partner, or any Guarantor is in violation of any Legal Requirements relating to anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism, including, without limitation, Legal Requirements related to transacting business with Prohibited Persons or the requirements of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, U.S. Public Law 107-56, and the related regulations issued thereunder, including temporary regulations, all as amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the holders of shares in publicly traded corporations which hold an equity interest in Borrower, General Partner or Guarantor and which holders of shares in publicly traded corporations do not Control Borrower, General Partner or Guarantor, the representations contained in clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding sentence are made to the knowledge of Borrower. No tenant at the Property currently is identified on the OFAC List or otherwise qualifies as a Prohibited Person, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no tenant at the Property is owned or Controlled by a Prohibited Person. Borrower has determined that Manager has implemented procedures, approved by Borrower, to ensure that no tenant at the Property is a Prohibited Person or owned or Controlled by a Prohibited Person.
Section 2.03. Further Acts, etc. Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages or deeds of
trust, as applicable, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time, reasonably require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby mortgaged, given, granted, bargained, sold, alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned and hypothecated, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Security Instrument or for filing, registering or recording this Security Instrument and, on demand, will execute and deliver and hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of Borrower or without the signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments to evidence more effectively the lien hereof upon the Property. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of protecting, perfecting, preserving and realizing upon the interests granted pursuant to this Security Instrument and to effect the intent hereof, all as fully and effectually as Borrower might or could do; and Borrower hereby ratifies all that Lender shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof; provided, however, that Lender shall not exercise such power of attorney unless and until Borrower fails to take the required action within the five (5) Business Day time period stated above unless the failure to so exercise, could, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, result in a Material Adverse Effect. Upon (a) receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any other Loan Document which is not of public record, (b) receipt of an indemnity of Lender related to losses resulting solely from the issuance of a replacement note or other applicable Loan Document and (c) in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other applicable Loan Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other applicable Loan Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or other Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.
Section 2.04. Recording of Security Instrument, etc. Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument and thereafter, from time to time, will cause this Security Instrument, and any security instrument creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully protect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Property. Borrower will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and acknowledgment of this Security Instrument, any mortgage or deed of trust, as applicable, supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument, any
mortgage or deed of trust, as applicable, supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, except where prohibited by law to do so, in which event Lender may declare the Debt to be immediately due and payable. Borrower shall hold harmless and indemnify Lender and its successors and assigns, against any liability incurred as a result of the imposition of any tax on the making and recording of this Security Instrument.
Section 2.05. Representations, Warranties and Covenants Relating to the Property. Borrower represents and warrants to and covenants with Lender with respect to the Property as follows:
(a) Lien Priority. This Security Instrument is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Property, free and clear of all encumbrances and liens having priority over the lien of this Security Instrument, except for the items set forth as exceptions to or subordinate matters in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Security Instrument, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by this Security Instrument, materially affect the value or marketability of the Property, impair the use or operation of the Property for the use currently being made thereof or impair Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations in a timely manner (such items being the “Permitted Encumbrances”).
(b) Title. Borrower has, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances, good, insurable and marketable fee simple title to the Premises, Improvements and Fixtures (collectively, the “Realty”) and to all easements and rights benefiting the Realty and has the right, power and authority to mortgage, encumber, give, grant, bargain, sell, alien, enfeoff, convey, confirm, pledge, assign, and hypothecate the Property. Borrower will preserve its interest in and title to the Property, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and will forever warrant and defend the same to
Lender against any and all other claims made by, through or under Borrower and will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien and security interest created herein against the claims of all Persons whomsoever claiming by, through or under Borrower. The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the foreclosure of this Security Instrument and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender in the event Lender acquires title to the Property pursuant to any foreclosure. In addition, there are no outstanding options or rights of first refusal to purchase the Property or Borrower’s ownership thereof.
(c) Taxes and Impositions. All taxes and other Impositions and governmental assessments due and owing in respect of, and affecting, the Property have been paid. Borrower has paid all Impositions which constitute special governmental assessments in full, except for those assessments which are permitted by applicable Legal Requirements to be paid in installments, in which case all installments which are due and payable have been paid in full. There are no pending, or to Borrower’s best knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.
(d) Casualty; Flood Zone. The Realty is in good repair and free and clear of any damage, destruction or casualty (whether or not covered by insurance) that would materially affect the value of the Realty or the use for which the Realty was intended, there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in or to the Property and Borrower has not received any written notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any material defect or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would materially and adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond. Except as disclosed on the survey of the Premises delivered to Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan, no portion of the Premises is located in an “area of special flood hazard,” as that term is defined in the regulations of the Federal Insurance Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (24 CFR § 1909.1) or Borrower has obtained the flood insurance required by Section 3.01(a)(vi) hereof. The Premises either does not lie in a 100 year flood plain that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any other Governmental Authority or, if it does, Borrower has obtained the flood insurance required by Section 3.01(a)(vi) hereof.
(e) Completion; Encroachment. All Improvements necessary for the efficient use and operation of the Premises, including, without limitation, all Improvements which were included for purposes of determining the appraised value of the Property in the Appraisal, have been completed and, except as disclosed on the survey of the Premises delivered to Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan, none of said Improvements lie outside the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Premises. Except as disclosed on the survey of the Premises delivered to Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan and as set forth in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Security Instrument, no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Premises.
(f) Separate Lot. The Premises are taxed separately without regard to any other real estate and constitute a legally subdivided lot under all applicable Legal Requirements (or, if not subdivided, no subdivision or platting of the Premises is required under applicable Legal Requirements), and for all purposes may be mortgaged, encumbered, conveyed or otherwise dealt with as an independent parcel. The Property does not benefit from any tax abatement or exemption.
(g) Use. Except as previously disclosed in the zoning report relating to the Premises delivered to Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan, the existence of all Improvements, the present use and operation thereof and the access of the
Premises and the Improvements to all of the utilities and other items referred to in paragraph (k) below are in compliance in all material respects with all Leases affecting the Property. Borrower has not received any notice from any Governmental Authority alleging any uncured violation relating to the Property of any applicable Legal Requirements.
(h) Licenses and Permits. Borrower currently holds and will continue to hold all certificates of occupancy, licenses, registrations, permits, consents, franchises and approvals of any Governmental Authority or any other Person which are material for the lawful occupancy and operation of the Realty or which are material to
the ownership or operation of the Property or the conduct of Borrower’s business. All such certificates of occupancy, licenses, registrations, permits, consents, franchises and approvals are current and in full force and effect.
(i) Environmental Matters. Borrower has received and reviewed the Environmental Report and has no reason to believe that the Environmental Report contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or herein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading.

Borrower is not aware of any facts or circumstances which may give rise to any actions, suits or proceedings described in the preceding sentence.
(k) Utilities. The Premises has all necessary legal access to water, gas and electrical supply, storm and sanitary sewerage facilities, other required public utilities (with respect to each of the aforementioned items, by means of either a direct connection to the source of such utilities or through connections available on publicly dedicated roadways directly abutting the Premises or through permanent insurable easements benefiting the Premises), fire and police protection, parking, and means of direct access between the Premises and public highways over recognized curb cuts (or such access to public highways is through private roadways which may be used for ingress and egress pursuant to permanent insurable easements).
(l) Mechanics’ Liens. The Property is free and clear of any mechanics’ liens or liens in the nature thereof, and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to any such liens, any of which liens are or may be prior to, or equal with, the lien of this Security Instrument, except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Security Instrument.

(ii) Each Space Lease constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower or, the Operating Tenant, as applicable, and, to the knowledge of Borrower, is enforceable against the tenant
thereof. No default exists, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice would exist, which would, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iii) To Borrower’s best knowledge, no tenant under any Major Space Lease has, as of the date hereof, paid Rent more than thirty (30) days in advance, and the Rents under such Major Space Leases have not been waived, released, or otherwise discharged or compromised.

have been made except for any held-back amounts, and all other conditions precedent to each such tenant’s obligations thereunder have been satisfied.
(v) To Borrower’s best knowledge, except as previously disclosed to Lender in writing or contained in the Space Leases, there are no options to terminate any Space Lease.
(vi) To Borrower’s best knowledge, each tenant under a Major Space Lease or such tenant’s authorized subtenant is currently occupying the space demised by such Major Space Lease.

(p) Property Agreements.
(i) Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct and complete copies of all Property Agreements of record or which could bind any owner of the Property other than Borrower.
(ii) No Property Agreement provides any party with the right to obtain a lien or encumbrance upon the Property superior to the lien of this Security Instrument.
(iii) No default exists or with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would exist under any Property Agreement which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iv) Borrower has not received or given any written communication which alleges that a default exists or, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would exist under the provisions of any Property Agreement.
(v) No condition currently exists whereby Borrower or any future owner of the Property may be required to purchase any other parcel of land which is subject to any Property Agreement or which gives any Person a right to purchase, or right of first refusal with respect to, the Property.
(vi) To the best knowledge of Borrower, no offset or any right of offset exists respecting continued contributions to be made by any party to any Property Agreement except as expressly set forth

(s) Security Deposits. Borrower is in compliance with all Legal Requirements relating to such security deposits as to which failure to comply might, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

For the purposes of this clause (t), the term “fair market value” shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any indebtedness secured by a lien affecting the Property that is prior to, or on a parity with, the lien of this
Security Instrument, and (ii) the value of any property that is not “real property” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §§ 1.860G-2 and 1.856-3(d).

Section 2.06. Removal of Lien. (a) Borrower shall, at its expense, maintain this Security Instrument as a first lien on the Property and shall keep the Property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any kind and nature other than the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of knowledge of any lien, promptly discharge of record, by bond or otherwise, any such liens and, promptly upon request by Lender, shall deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the discharge thereof.
(b) Without limitation to the provisions of Section 2.06(a) hereof, Borrower shall (i) pay, from time to time when the same shall become due, all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers, and others which, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, a lien on the Property or any part thereof, (ii) cause to be
removed of record (by payment or posting of bond or settlement or otherwise) any mechanics’, materialmens’, laborers’ or other lien on the Property, or any part thereof, or on the revenues, rents, issues, income or profit arising therefrom, and (iii) in general, do or cause to be done, without expense to Lender, everything reasonably necessary to preserve in full the lien of this Security Instrument.

Lender shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to examine such books, tax

(ii) Commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury and/or death to one or more persons or property damage, occurring on, in or about the Property (including the adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways therein) in such amounts as Lender may from time to time reasonably require (but in no event shall Lender’s requirements be increased more frequently than once during each twelve (12) month period) and which are customarily required by Institutional Lenders for similar properties similarly situated, but not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate on a per location basis and, in addition thereto, not less than $50,000,000, or such lesser amount as is required by the term of the Management Agreement (but in no event less than $10,000,000) excess and/or umbrella liability insurance shall be maintained for any and all claims.

The amount of such insurance shall be determined upon the execution of this Security Instrument, and not more frequently than once each calendar year thereafter
based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of projected total revenues derived from the Property for the next succeeding twenty-four (24) months together with a six (6) month extended period of indemnity. In the event the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, Borrower shall and hereby does assign to Lender all payment of claims under the policies of such insurance, and all amounts payable thereunder, and all net amounts, shall be collected by Lender under such policies and shall be applied in accordance with this Security Instrument.
(iv) Intentionally Omitted.
(v) Insurance against loss or damages from (A) leakage of sprinkler systems and (B) explosion of steam boilers, air conditioning equipment, pressure vessels or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed at the Property, in such amounts as Lender may from time to time reasonably require and which are then customarily required by Institutional Lenders of similar properties similarly situated.
(vi) Flood insurance in an amount equal to the full insurable value of the Property or the maximum amount available, whichever is less, if the Improvements are located in an area designated by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as being “an area of special flood hazard” under the National Flood Insurance Program (i.e., having a one percent or greater chance of flooding), and if flood insurance is available under the National Flood Insurance Act.

Additionally, Borrower shall carry such insurance coverage as Lender may from time to time require if the failure to carry such insurance may result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any class of securities issued in connection with a Securitization or, if the Loan is not yet part of a Securitization, would result in an increase in the subordination levels of any class of securities anticipated to be issued in connection with a proposed Securitization.
(xii) If Borrower, any of its Affiliates or Manager holds a liquor license for the Premises, liquor liability insurance in the amount of no less than $10,000,000.

(a) All insurance required by this Article III shall be in the form (other than with respect to Sections 3.01(a)(vi) and (vii) above when insurance in those two sub-sections is placed with a governmental agency or instrumentality on such agency’s forms) and amount and with deductibles as, from time to time, shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender, under valid and enforceable policies issued by financially responsible insurers authorized to do business in the State where the Property is located, with a general policyholder’s service rating of not less than A and a financial rating of not less than XIII as rated in the most currently available Best’s Insurance Reports (or the equivalent, if such rating system shall hereafter be altered or replaced) and shall have a claims paying ability rating and/or financial strength rating, as applicable, of not less than “AA” (or its equivalent), or such lower claims paying ability rating and/or financial strength rating, as applicable, as Lender shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to, from a Rating Agency (one of which after a Securitization in which Standard & Poor’s rates any securities issued in connection with such Securitization, shall be Standard & Poor’s). Upon request of Lender originals or certified copies of all insurance policies shall be delivered to and held by Lender. All such policies (except policies for worker’s compensation) shall name Lender, its successors and/or assigns as an additional insured or, with respect to the insurance required pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) above, shall provide for loss payable to Lender, its successors and/or assigns and shall contain (or have attached): (i) standard “non-contributory mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Borrower; (ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement as to Lender; (iii) an endorsement indicating that neither Lender nor Borrower shall be

Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Security Instrument, certificates evidencing such renewals bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other reasonable evidence of such payment (which premiums shall not be paid by Borrower through or by any financing arrangement which would entitle an insurer to terminate a policy) shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Borrower shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under this Article III.
(b) If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the original policies or certificates of insurance required by this Security Instrument, or if there are insufficient funds in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account to pay the premiums for same, Lender may, at its option, procure such insurance, and Borrower shall pay, or as the case may be, reimburse Lender for, all premiums thereon promptly, upon demand by Lender, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the date of repayment and such sum shall constitute a part of the Debt.
(c) Borrower shall notify Lender of the renewal premium of each insurance policy and Lender shall be entitled to pay such amount on behalf of Borrower from the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account.
(d) The insurance required by this Security Instrument may, at the option of Borrower, be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies issued to Borrower or Manager covering the Property provided that, in each case, the policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Security Instrument and allocate to the Property, from time to time (but in no event less than once a year), the coverage specified by this Security Instrument, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance by reason of, or damage to, any other property (real or personal) named therein. If the insurance required by this Security Instrument shall be effected by any such blanket or umbrella policies, Borrower shall furnish to Lender (i) an original certificate of insurance together with reasonable access to the original of such policy to review such policy’s coverage of the Property, with schedules attached thereto showing the amount of the insurance provided under such policies applicable to the Property and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (A) the number of properties covered by such policy, (B) the location by city (if available, otherwise, county) and state of the properties, (C) the average square footage of the properties, (D) a brief description of the typical construction type included in the blanket policy and (E) such other information as Lender may reasonably request.
Section 3.03. Assignment of Policies. (a) Borrower hereby assigns to Lender the proceeds of all insurance (other than worker’s compensation and liability insurance) obtained pursuant to this Security Instrument, all of which proceeds shall be payable to Lender as collateral and further security for the payment of the Debt and the performance of the Cross-collateralized Borrowers’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the issuer of any such insurance to make payment of such proceeds directly to Lender. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.04 or elsewhere in this Article III, Lender shall have the option, in its discretion, and without regard to the adequacy of its security, to apply all or any part of the proceeds it may receive pursuant to this Article in such manner as Lender may elect to any one or more of the following: (i) the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due, in any proportion or priority as Lender, in its discretion, may elect, (ii) the repair or restoration of the Property, (iii) the cure of any Default or (iv) the reimbursement of the costs and expenses of Lender incurred pursuant to the terms hereof in connection with the recovery of the Insurance Proceeds. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Borrower from repairing or maintaining the Property as provided in this Security Instrument or restoring all damage or destruction to the Property, regardless of the sufficiency of the Insurance Proceeds, and the application or release by Lender of any Insurance Proceeds shall not cure or waive any Default or notice of Default.
(b) In the event of the foreclosure of this Security Instrument or any other transfer of title or assignment of all or any part of the Property in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all policies of insurance required by this Security Instrument shall inure to the benefit of the successor in interest to Borrower or the purchaser of the Property. If, prior to the receipt by Lender of any proceeds, the Property or any portion thereof shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Security Instrument or by deed in lieu thereof or otherwise, or any claim under such insurance policy arising during the term of this Security Instrument is not paid until after the extinguishment of the Debt, and Lender shall not have received the entire amount of the Debt outstanding at the time of such extinguishment, whether or not a deficiency judgment on this Security Instrument shall have been sought or recovered or denied, then, the proceeds of any such insurance to the extent of the amount of the Debt not so received, shall be paid to and be the property of Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, and the reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the proceeds which shall be paid to Lender and Borrower hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to such proceeds. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Security Instrument to the contrary, Lender shall not be deemed to be a trustee or other fiduciary with respect to its receipt of any such proceeds, which may be commingled with any other monies of
Lender; provided, however, that Lender shall use such proceeds for the purposes and in the manner permitted by this Security Instrument. Any proceeds deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account, but Lender makes no representation or warranty as to the rate or amount of interest, if any, which may accrue on such deposit and shall have no liability in connection therewith. Interest accrued, if any, on the proceeds shall be deemed to constitute a part of the proceeds for purposes of this Security Instrument. The provisions of this Section 3.03(b) shall survive the termination of this Security Instrument by foreclosure, deed in lieu thereof or otherwise as a consequence of the exercise of the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder after a Default.
Section 3.04. Casualty Restoration. (a) (i) In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property the cost to repair which could reasonably be expected to be in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate, Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender (which notice shall set forth Borrower’s good faith estimate of the cost of repairing or restoring such damage or destruction, or if Borrower cannot reasonably estimate the anticipated cost of restoration, Borrower shall nonetheless give Lender prompt notice of the occurrence of such damage or destruction, and will diligently proceed to obtain estimates to enable Borrower to quantify the anticipated cost and time required for such restoration, whereupon Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such good faith estimate) and, provided that restoration does not violate any Legal Requirements, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Property so damaged or destroyed to a condition such that the Property shall be at least equal in value to that immediately prior to the damage to the extent practicable, in full compliance with all Legal Requirements and the provisions of all Leases, and in accordance with Section 3.04(b) below. Such repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Property are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Work”.
(ii) Borrower shall not adjust, compromise or settle any claim for Insurance Proceeds without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and Lender shall have the right, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to participate in any settlement or adjustment of Insurance Proceeds; provided, however, that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender’s consent shall not be required with respect to the adjustment, compromising or settlement of any claim for Insurance Proceeds in an amount less than $1,000,000.
(iii) Subject to Section 3.04(a)(iv), Lender shall apply any Insurance Proceeds which it may receive towards the Work in accordance with Section 3.04(b) and the other applicable sections of this Article III.
(iv) If (A) an Event of Default shall have occurred, (B) Lender is not reasonably satisfied that the Debt Service Coverage, after substantial completion of the Work, will be at least equal to the Required Debt Service Coverage, (C) more than thirty percent (30%) of the reasonably estimated fair market value of the Property is damaged or destroyed, (D) Lender is not reasonably satisfied that the Work can be completed six (6) months prior to Maturity or (E) Lender is not reasonably satisfied that the Work can be completed within twelve (12) months of the damage to or destruction of the Property (each, a “Substantial Casualty”), Lender shall have the option, in its sole discretion to apply any Insurance Proceeds it may receive pursuant to this Security Instrument (less any cost to Lender of recovering and paying out such proceeds incurred pursuant to the terms hereof and not otherwise reimbursed to Lender, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the payment of the Debt, without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind, or to allow such proceeds to be used for the Work pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 3.04(b) hereof and the other applicable sections of this Article III.
(v) In the event that Lender elects or is obligated hereunder to allow Insurance Proceeds to be used for the Work, any excess proceeds remaining after completion of such Work shall be applied to the payment of the Debt without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind.
(vi) If any Insurance Proceeds are applied to the payment of the Debt, provided that no Event of Default exists, Borrower may prepay the balance of the Release Price with respect to the Property in connection with obtaining a Release of the Property without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind.
(b) If any Condemnation Proceeds in accordance with Section 6.01(a), or any Insurance Proceeds in accordance with Section 3.04(a), are to be applied to the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Property, then such proceeds shall be deposited into a segregated interest-bearing bank account at the Bank, which shall be an Eligible Account, held by Lender and shall be paid out from time to time to Borrower as the Work progresses (less any cost to Lender of recovering and paying out such proceeds, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs allocable to inspecting the Work and the plans and specifications therefor) subject to Section 5.13 hereof and to all of the following conditions:
(i) An Independent architect or engineer selected by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender (an “Architect” or “Engineer”) or a Person otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender, shall have delivered to Lender a certificate estimating the cost of completing the Work, and, if the amount set forth therein is more than the sum of the amount of Insurance Proceeds then being held by Lender in connection with a casualty and amounts agreed or reasonably expected to be agreed to be paid as part of a final settlement under the insurance policy upon or before completion of the Work, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender (A) cash collateral in an amount equal to such excess, (B) an unconditional, irrevocable, clean sight draft letter of credit, in form, substance and issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Lender, in the amount of such excess and draws on
such letter of credit shall be made by Lender to make payments pursuant to this Article III following exhaustion of the Insurance Proceeds therefor or (C) a completion bond in form, substance and issued by a surety company reasonably acceptable to Lender.
(ii) If the cost of the Work is reasonably estimated by an Architect or Engineer in a certification reasonably acceptable to Lender to be equal to or exceed five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount, such Work shall be performed under the supervision of an Architect or Engineer, it being understood that the plans and specifications with respect thereto shall provide for Work so that, upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in replacement value and general utility to the Property prior to the damage or destruction.
(iii) Each request for payment shall be made on not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice to Lender and shall be accompanied by a certificate of an Architect or Engineer, or, if the Work is not required to be supervised by an Architect or Engineer, by an Officer’s Certificate stating (A) that payment is for Work completed substantially in compliance with the plans and specifications, if required under clause (ii) above, (B) that the sum requested is required to reimburse Borrower for payments by Borrower to date, or is due to the contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other Persons rendering services or materials for the Work (giving a brief description of such services and materials), and that when added to all sums previously paid out by Lender does not exceed the value of the Work done to the date of such certificate, (C) if the sum requested is to cover payment relating to repair and restoration of personal property required or relating to the Property, that title to the personal property items covered by the request for payment is vested in Borrower (unless Borrower is lessee of such personal property), and (D) that the Insurance Proceeds and other amounts deposited by Borrower held by Lender after such payment is more than the estimated remaining cost to complete such Work; provided, however, that if such certificate is given by an Architect or Engineer, such Architect or Engineer shall certify as to clause (A) above, and such Officer’s Certificate shall certify as to the remaining clauses above, and provided, further, that Lender shall not be obligated to disburse such funds if Lender determines, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, that Borrower shall not be in compliance with this Section 3.04(b). Additionally, each request for payment shall contain a statement signed by Borrower stating that the requested payment is for Work satisfactorily done to date.
(iv) Each request for payment shall be accompanied by waivers of lien, in customary form and substance, covering that part of the Work for which payment has been made pursuant to any previous request for payment and, if required by Lender, a search prepared by a title company or licensed abstractor, or by other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that there has not been filed with respect to the Property any mechanic’s or other lien or instrument for retention of title relating to any part of the Work not discharged of record. Additionally, as to any personal property covered by the request for payment, Lender shall be furnished with evidence of Borrower having incurred a payment obligation therefor and
such further evidence reasonably satisfactory to assure Lender that UCC filings therefor provide a valid first lien on the personal property in favor of Lender.
(v) Lender shall have the right to inspect the Work at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice and may condition any disbursement of Insurance Proceeds upon satisfactory compliance by Borrower with the provisions hereof. Neither the approval by Lender of any required plans and specifications for the Work nor the inspection by Lender of the Work shall make Lender responsible for the preparation of such plans and specifications, or the compliance of such plans and specifications of the Work, with any applicable law, regulation, ordinance, covenant or agreement.
(vi) Insurance Proceeds shall not be disbursed more frequently than once every thirty (30) days.
(vii) Until such time as the Work has been substantially completed, Lender shall not be obligated to disburse to Borrower an amount (the “Retention Amount”) up to (A) until fifty percent (50%) of the Work has been completed (as reasonably determined by Lender), ten percent (10%) of the cost of the Work and (B) after fifty percent (50%) of the Work has been completed (as reasonably determined by Lender), five percent (5%) of the cost of the Work. Upon substantial completion of the Work, Borrower shall send notice thereof to Lender and, subject to the conditions of Section 3.04(b)(i)-(iv), Lender shall disburse one-half of the Retention Amount to Borrower; provided, however, that the remaining one-half of the Retention Amount shall be disbursed to Borrower when Lender shall have received copies of any and all final certificates of occupancy or other certificates, licenses and permits required for the ownership, occupancy and operation of the Property in accordance with all Legal Requirements. Borrower hereby covenants to diligently seek to obtain any such certificates, licenses and permits.
(viii) Upon failure on the part of Borrower promptly to commence the Work or to proceed diligently and continuously to completion of the Work, subject to Force Majeure, not to exceed sixty (60) days, which failure shall continue after notice for thirty (30) days, Lender may apply any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds it then or thereafter holds to the payment of the Debt in accordance with the provisions of the Note; provided, however, that Lender shall be entitled to apply at any time all or any portion of the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds it then holds to the extent necessary to cure any Event of Default.
(c) If Borrower (i) within ninety (90) days (plus, if all approvals from Governmental Authorities have not been obtained within such period and Borrower has continuously and expeditiously attempted to obtain such approvals within such time period, such additional period of time required to obtain approvals from all Governmental Authorities up to one hundred eighty (180) days in total, provided Borrower deposits with Lender an amount, as reasonably determined by Lender, equal to the Required Debt Service Payment for each additional thirty (30) day period) after the occurrence of any damage to the Property or any portion thereof (or such shorter period as may be required under any Major Space Lease) shall fail to submit to Lender for approval plans and specifications for the Work (approved by the Architect and by all Governmental Authorities whose approval is required), (ii) after any such plans and specifications are approved by all Governmental Authorities, the Architect and Lender, shall fail to promptly commence such Work or (iii) shall fail to diligently prosecute such Work to completion, then, in addition to all other rights available hereunder, at law or in equity, Lender, or any receiver of the Property or any portion thereof, upon five (5) days’ prior notice to Borrower (except in the event of emergency in which case no notice shall be required), may (but shall have no obligation to) perform or cause to be performed such Work, and may take such other steps as it reasonably deems advisable. Borrower hereby waives, for Borrower, any claim, other than for gross negligence or willful misconduct, against Lender and any receiver arising out of any act or omission of Lender or such receiver pursuant hereto, and Lender may apply all or any portion of the Insurance Proceeds (without the need to fulfill any other requirements of this Section 3.04) to reimburse Lender and such receiver, for all costs not reimbursed to Lender or such receiver upon demand together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such amounts are advanced until the same are paid to Lender or the receiver.
(d) If the Insurance Proceeds are greater than $1,000,000 or an Event of Default exists Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to collect and receive any Insurance Proceeds paid with respect to any portion of the Property or the insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder, and to endorse any checks, drafts or other instruments representing any Insurance Proceeds whether payable by reason of loss thereunder or otherwise.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04, upon the occurrence of any damage to or destruction of the Property, provided that such damage or destruction is not a Substantial Casualty, if in Lender’s reasonable judgment the cost of repair of or restoration to the Property required as a result of any damage or destruction is less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate and the Work can be completed in less than one hundred twenty (120) days (but in no event beyond the date which is six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date), then Lender, upon request by Borrower, shall permit Borrower to apply for and receive the Insurance Proceeds directly from the insurer (and Lender shall advise the insurer to pay over such Insurance Proceeds directly to Borrower), to the extent required to pay for any such Work, with any excess thereof to be promptly paid by Borrower to Lender to be applied against the Debt.
Section 3.05. Compliance with Insurance Requirements. Borrower promptly shall comply with, and shall cause the Property to comply with, all Insurance Requirements, even if such compliance requires structural changes or improvements or would result in interference with the use or enjoyment of the Property or any portion thereof provided Borrower shall have a right to contest in good faith and with diligence such Insurance Requirements provided (a) no Event of Default shall exist during such contest and such contest shall not subject the Property or any portion thereof to any lien or affect the priority of the lien of this Security Instrument, (b) failure to comply with such Insurance Requirements will not subject Lender or any of its agents, employees, officers or directors to any civil or criminal liability, (c) such contest will not cause any reduction in insurance coverage, (d) such contest shall not affect the ownership, use or occupancy of the Property, (e) the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein shall not be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such contest by Borrower, (f) Borrower has given Lender prompt notice of such contest and, upon request by Lender from time to time, notice of the status of such contest by Borrower and/or information of the continuing satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 3.05, (g) upon a final determination of such contest, Borrower shall promptly comply with the requirements thereof, and (h) prior to and during such contest, Borrower shall furnish to Lender security satisfactory to Lender, in its reasonable discretion, against loss or injury by reason of such contest or the non-compliance with such Insurance Requirement (and if such security is cash, Lender shall deposit the same in an interest-bearing account and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a part of such security for purposes of this Security Instrument, but Lender (i) makes no representation or warranty as to the rate or amount of interest, if any, which may accrue thereon and shall have no liability in connection therewith and (ii) shall not be deemed to be a trustee or fiduciary with respect to its receipt of any such security and any such security may be commingled with other monies of Lender). If Borrower shall use the Property or any portion thereof in any manner which could permit the insurer to cancel any insurance required to be provided hereunder, Borrower immediately shall obtain a substitute policy which shall satisfy the requirements of this Security Instrument and which shall be effective on or prior to the date on which any such other insurance policy shall be canceled. Borrower shall not by any action or omission invalidate any insurance policy required to be carried hereunder unless such policy is replaced as aforesaid, or materially increase the premiums on any such policy above the normal premium charged for such policy. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Insurance Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Lender in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.
Section 3.06. Event of Default During Restoration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security Instrument including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article III, if, at the time of any casualty affecting the Property or any part thereof, or at any time during any Work, or at any time that Lender is holding or is entitled to receive any Insurance Proceeds pursuant to this Security Instrument, a Default exists and is continuing (whether or not it constitutes an Event of Default), Lender shall then have no obligation to make such proceeds available for Work and Lender shall have the right and option, to be exercised in its sole and absolute discretion and election, with respect to the Insurance Proceeds, either to retain and apply such proceeds in reimbursement for the actual costs, fees and expenses incurred by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof in connection with the adjustment of the loss and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, any balance toward
payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall deem proper, or towards the Work, upon such terms and conditions as Lender shall determine, or to cure such Event of Default, or to any one or more of the foregoing as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine. If Lender shall receive and retain such Insurance Proceeds, the lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received, after reimbursement to Lender of expenses of collection, and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the principal sum payable under the Note in accordance with the Note.
Section 3.07. Application of Proceeds to Debt Reduction. (a) No damage to the Property, or any part thereof, by fire or other casualty whatsoever, whether such damage be partial or total, shall relieve Borrower from its liability to pay in full the Debt and to perform its obligations under this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
(b) If any Insurance Proceeds are applied to reduce the Debt, Lender shall apply the same in accordance with the provisions of the Note.
ARTICLE IV: IMPOSITIONS
Section 4.01. Payment of Impositions, Utilities and Taxes, etc. (a) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Impositions at least five (5) days prior to the date upon which any fine, penalty, interest or cost for nonpayment is imposed, and furnish to Lender, upon request, receipted bills of the appropriate taxing authority or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Lender evidencing the payment thereof. If Borrower shall fail to pay any Imposition in accordance with this Section and is not contesting or causing a contesting of such Imposition in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof, or if there are insufficient funds in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account to pay any Imposition, Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay that Imposition, and Borrower shall repay to Lender, on demand, any amount paid by Lender, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of the advance thereof to the date of repayment, and such amount shall constitute a portion of the Debt secured by this Security Instrument and the other Cross-collateralized Mortgages.
(b) Borrower shall, prior to the date upon which any fine, penalty, interest or cost for the nonpayment is imposed, pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, water and other services and utilities in connection with the Property. If Borrower shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.01 and is not contesting such charges in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof, Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay that amount, and Borrower will repay to Lender, on demand, any amount paid by Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of the advance thereof to the date of repayment, and such amount shall constitute a portion of the Debt secured by this Security Instrument and the other Cross-collateralized Mortgages.
(c) Borrower shall pay all taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises and levies imposed upon Lender by reason of or in connection with its ownership of any Loan Document or any other instrument related thereto, or resulting from the execution, delivery and recording of, or the lien created by, or the obligation evidenced by, any of them, other than income, franchise and other similar taxes imposed on Lender and shall pay all corporate stamp taxes, if any, and other taxes, required to be paid on the Loan Documents. If Borrower shall fail to make any such payment within ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Lender, Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay the amount due, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender therefor, on demand, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of the advance thereof to the date of repayment, and such amount shall constitute a portion of the Debt secured by this Security Instrument and the other Cross-collateralized Mortgages.
Section 4.02. Deduction from Value. In the event of the passage after the date of this Security Instrument of any Legal Requirement deducting from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation, any lien thereon or changing in any way the Legal Requirements now in force for the taxation of this Security Instrument, the other Cross-collateralized Mortgages and/or the Debt for federal, state or local purposes, or the manner of the operation of any such taxes so as to adversely affect the interest of Lender, or imposing any tax or other charge on any Loan Document, then Borrower will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any, within the
statutory period. In the event the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful, or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender shall have the option, by
written notice of not less than thirty (30) days, to declare the Debt (or, if Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion, that no Material Adverse Effect may result therefrom, the Release Price with respect to the Property) immediately due and payable, with no prepayment fee or charge of any kind.
Section 4.03. No Joint Assessment. Borrower shall not consent to or initiate the joint assessment of the Premises or the Improvements (a) with any other real property constituting a separate tax lot and Borrower represents and covenants that the Premises and the Improvements are and shall remain a separate tax lot or (b) with any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to the Property as a single lien.
Section 4.04. Right to Contest. Borrower shall have the right, after prior notice to Lender, at its sole expense, to contest by appropriate legal proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, without cost or expense to Lender or any of its agents, employees, officers or directors, the validity, amount or application of any Imposition, provided that (a) no Event of Default shall exist during such proceedings and such contest shall not (unless Borrower shall comply with clause (d) of this Section 4.04) subject the Property or any portion thereof to any lien or affect the priority of the lien of this Security Instrument, (b) failure to pay such Imposition or charge will not subject Lender or any of its agents, employees, officers or directors to any civil or criminal liability, (c) the contest suspends enforcement of the Imposition or charge (unless Borrower first pays the Imposition or charge), (d) prior to and during such contest, Borrower shall furnish to Lender security satisfactory to Lender, in its reasonable discretion, against loss or injury by reason of such contest or the non-payment of such Imposition or charge (and if such security is cash, Lender may deposit the same in an interest-bearing account and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a part of such security for purposes of this Security Instrument, but Lender (i) makes no representation or warranty as to the rate or amount of interest, if any, which may accrue thereon and shall have no liability in connection therewith and (ii) shall not be deemed to be a trustee or fiduciary with respect to its receipt of any such security and any such security may be commingled with other monies of Lender), (e) such contest shall not affect the ownership, use or occupancy of the Property, (f) the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein shall not be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such contest by Borrower, (g) Borrower has given Lender notice of the commencement of such contest and upon request by Lender, from time to time, notice of the status of such contest by Borrower and/or confirmation of the continuing satisfaction of clauses (a) through (f) of this Section 4.04, and (h) upon a final determination of such contest, Borrower shall promptly comply with the requirements thereof. Upon completion of any contest, Borrower shall immediately pay the amount due, if any, and deliver to Lender proof of the completion of the contest and payment of the amount due, if any, following which Lender shall return the security, if any, deposited with Lender pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 4.04, provided that Lender shall, so long as no Event of Default exists, disburse to Borrower any sums held by Lender pursuant to clause (d) hereof to pay any contested Impositions. Borrower shall not pay any Imposition in installments unless permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, and shall, upon the request of Lender, deliver copies of all notices and bills relating to any Imposition or other charge covered by this Article IV to Lender.
Section 4.05. No Credits on Account of the Debt. Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Impositions assessed against the Property or any part thereof and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the taxable value of the Property, or any part thereof, by reason of this Security Instrument or the Debt. In the event such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by Legal Requirements, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than thirty (30) days, to declare the Debt (or, if Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion, that no Material Adverse Effect may result therefrom, the Release Price with respect to the Property) immediately due and payable, and Borrower hereby agrees to pay such amounts not later than thirty (30) days after such notice.
Section 4.06. Documentary Stamps. If, at any time, the United States of America, any State or Commonwealth thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, or impose any other tax or charges on the same, Borrower will pay the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

Manager shall collect all Rent and shall deposit in the Collection Account, the name and address of the bank in which such account is located and the account number of which to be identified in writing by Borrower to Lender, all Property Available Cash. Pursuant to the Collection Account Agreement of even date herewith, the bank in which the Collection Account is located has been instructed that all collected funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be automatically transferred through automated clearing house funds (“ACH”) or by Federal wire to the Central Account prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately prior to each Payment Date or, if an O&M Operative Period has occurred and is continuing, on a daily basis. Within two (2) Business Days of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of the irrevocable notice which Borrower delivered to the bank in which the Rent Account is located pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01, the receipt of which is acknowledged in writing by such bank. Lender may elect to change the financial institution in which the Central Account
shall be maintained; however, Lender shall give Borrower and the bank in which the Collection Account is located not fewer than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice of such change. Neither Borrower nor Manager shall change such bank or the Collection Account without the prior written consent of Lender. All fees and charges of the bank(s) in which the Collection Account and the Central Account are located shall be paid by Borrower.
Section 5.02. Establishment of Accounts. Lender has established the Escrow Accounts and the Central Account in the name of Lender and the Collection Account in the joint name of Borrower and Lender, as secured party. The Escrow Accounts , the Collection Account and the Central Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender and funds held therein shall not constitute trust funds. Borrower hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes Lender to withdraw funds from the Collection Account, and to deposit into and withdraw funds from the Central Account and the Escrow Accounts, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal in respect of the Collection Account, the Central Account or the Escrow Accounts except as specifically provided herein. Each transfer of funds to be made hereunder shall be made only to the extent that funds are on deposit in the Collection Account, the Central Account or the affected Sub-Account or Escrow Account, and Lender shall have no responsibility to make additional funds available in the event that funds on deposit are insufficient. The Central Account shall contain the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account, the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account, the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account and the Curtailment Reserve Sub-Account, each of which accounts shall be Eligible Accounts or book-entry sub-accounts of an Eligible Account (each a “Sub-Account” and collectively, the “Sub-Accounts”) to which certain funds shall be allocated and from which disbursements shall be made pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument. Sums held in the Escrow Accounts may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
Section 5.03. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 5.05. Monthly Funding of Sub-Accounts and Escrow Accounts. (a) On or before each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, commencing on the first (1st) Payment Date occurring after the month in which the Loan is initially funded, Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Central Account all sums required to be deposited in the Sub-Accounts pursuant to this Section 5.05(a) and all funds transferred or deposited into the Central Account shall be allocated among the Sub-Accounts as follows and in the following priority:
(i) first, to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account, until an amount equal to the Basic Carrying Costs Monthly Installment for such Payment Date has been allocated to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account;
(ii) second, to the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, until an amount equal to the Required Debt Service Payment for such Payment Date has been allocated to the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account;
(iii) third, but only during any Default Management Period, to the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account in an amount equal to the Cash Expenses, other than management fees payable to Affiliates of Borrower, for the Interest Accrual Period ending immediately prior to such Payment Date pursuant to the related Approved Annual Budget;
(iv) fourth, but only during any Default Management Period, to the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account in an amount equal to the amount, if any, of the Net Capital Expenditures for the Interest Accrual Period ending immediately prior to such Payment Date pursuant to the related Approved Annual Budget;
(v) fifth, to the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account, but only until an amount equal to the Recurring Replacement Reserve Monthly Installment for such Payment Date has been allocated to the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account;
(vi) sixth, but only during any Default Management Period, to the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account in an amount equal to the amount, if any, of the Extraordinary Expenses approved by Lender for the Interest Accrual Period ending immediately prior to such Payment Date; and
(vii) seventh, but only during an O&M Operative Period, the balance, if any, to the Curtailment Reserve Sub-Account.
Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender agrees that in each Interest Accrual Period any amounts deposited into or remaining in the Central Account after the Sub-Accounts have been funded as set forth in this Section 5.05(a) with respect to such Interest Accrual Period and any periods prior thereto, shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower on each Payment Date and on the 15th day of each month (or if such date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day after such date) applicable to such Interest Accrual Period. The balance of the funds distributed to Borrower after payment of all Operating Expenses by or on behalf of Borrower may be retained by Borrower. After the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, no funds held in the Central Account shall be distributed to, or withdrawn by, Borrower, and Lender shall have the right to apply all or any portion of the funds held in the Central Account or any Sub-Account or any Escrow Account to the Debt in Lender’s sole discretion.
(b) On each Payment Date, (i) sums held in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account shall be transferred to the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account, (ii) sums held in the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, together with any amounts deposited into the Central Account that are either (x) Loss Proceeds that Lender has elected to apply to reduce the Debt in accordance with the terms of Article III hereof or (y) excess Loss Proceeds remaining after the completion of any restoration required hereunder, shall be transferred to Lender to be applied towards the Required Debt Service Payment, (iii) sums held in the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account shall be transferred to the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account, (iv) sums held in the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account shall be transferred to the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account and (v) sums held in the Curtailment Reserve Sub-Account shall be transferred to the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account.
Section 5.06. Payment of Basic Carrying Costs. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Basic Carrying Costs (without regard to the amount of money in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account or the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account). At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date of any Basic Carrying Costs, and not more frequently than once each month, Borrower may notify Lender in writing and request that Lender pay such Basic Carrying Costs on behalf of Borrower on or prior to the due date thereof, and, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that there are sufficient funds available in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account, Lender shall make such payments out of the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account before same shall be delinquent.
Together with each such request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with bills and all other documents necessary, as reasonably determined by Lender, for the payment of the Basic Carrying Costs which are the subject of such request. Borrower’s obligation to pay (or cause Lender to pay) Basic Carrying Costs pursuant to this Security Instrument shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Impositions resulting from future changes in law which impose upon Lender an obligation to pay any property taxes or other Impositions or which otherwise adversely affect Lender’s interests.
Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, all funds deposited into the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account shall be held by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument and shall be applied in payment of Basic Carrying Costs in accordance with the terms hereof. Should an Event of Default occur, the sums on deposit in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account and the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any Basic Carrying Costs or may be applied to the payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Cross-collateralized Properties as Lender in its sole discretion may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.
Section 5.07. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 5.08. Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account. (a) Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Recurring Replacement Expenditures with respect to the Property (without regard to the amount of money then available in the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account or the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account). Provided that Lender has received written notice from Borrower at least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of any payment relating to Recurring Replacement Expenditures and not more frequently than once each month, and further provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, that there are sufficient funds available in the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account and Borrower shall have theretofore furnished Lender with lien waivers (if the cost incurred in connection therewith is greater than $25,000), copies of bills, invoices and other reasonable documentation as may be required by Lender to establish that the Recurring Replacement Expenditures which are the subject of such request represent amounts due for completed or partially completed capital work and improvements performed at the Property, Lender shall make such payments out of the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account.
(b) In lieu of making deposits into the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account, Borrower may deliver an Approved Letter of Credit to Lender in the amount of the Required RRE Shortfall (as the same may be amended, replaced, extended or drawn down upon pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.08, the “Delivered Letter of Credit”). The Delivered Letter of Credit shall be held in accordance with this Section 5.08 and otherwise constitute security for the payment of the Debt. On or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the expiration of any Delivered Letter of Credit, Borrower shall provide Lender with a replacement to such Delivered Letter of Credit which shall be an Approved Letter of Credit, and otherwise in the same form and amount as the Delivered Letter of Credit being replaced or such other form reasonably approved by Lender. In the event (i) Borrower shall fail to provide Lender with a replacement Delivered Letter of Credit on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the expiration of any previously existing Delivered Letter of Credit or (ii) the long-term unsecured debt rating or the short-term unsecured debt rating of the bank issuing the Delivered Letter of Credit shall be downgraded below “AA-” (or its equivalent) or “A-1” (or its equivalent), respectively, withdrawn or qualified by any Rating Agency and the letter of credit required to be delivered hereunder is not replaced within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of such downgrading, withdrawal or qualification, Lender may draw on the Delivered Letter of Credit, deposit all sums received in connection with such draw into the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account, and disburse such sums in accordance with Section 5.08 above. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, upon Lender’s receipt of a written request from Borrower together with such other documentation as may be reasonably requested by Lender, Lender shall draw on all or a portion of the
Delivered Letter of Credit, deposit any sums received in connection with such draw into the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account, and apply such sums towards the reimbursement of Borrower for the cost of any Recurring Replacement Expenditures in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.08 hereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may draw on the Delivered Letter of Credit and apply the sums received towards the payment of Recurring Replacement Expenditures or towards payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Property, as Lender in its sole discretion may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have
been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Borrower may deliver to Lender Dollars in the amount of any Delivered Letter of Credit and, upon receipt of such Dollars, Lender will return to Borrower the Delivered Letter of Credit.
(c) Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, all funds deposited into the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account shall be held by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument and shall be applied in payment of Recurring Replacement Expenditures. Should an Event of Default occur, the sums on deposit in the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account and the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any Recurring Replacement Expenditures or may be applied to the payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Cross-collateralized Properties, as Lender in its sole discretion may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.
Section 5.09. Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account. Borrower hereby agrees to pay or cause to be paid all Operating Expenses and extraordinary capital improvement costs with respect to the Property (without regard to the amount of money then available in the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account or the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account). All funds allocated to the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account shall be held by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument. Any sums held in the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account shall be disbursed to Borrower within five (5) Business Days of receipt by Lender from Borrower of (a) a written request for such disbursement which shall indicate the Operating Expenses (exclusive of Basic Carrying Costs and any management fees payable to Borrower, or to any Affiliate of Borrower) and/or extraordinary capital improvement costs approved in writing by Lender for which the requested disbursement is to pay and (b) an Officer’s Certificate stating that no Operating Expenses with respect to the Property are more than sixty (60) days past due; provided, however, in the event that Borrower legitimately disputes any invoice for an Operating Expense and/or extraordinary capital improvement costs approved in writing by Lender, and (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, (ii) Borrower shall have set aside adequate reserves for the payment of such disputed sums together with all interest and late fees thereon, (iii) Borrower has complied with all the requirements of this Security Instrument relating thereto, and (iv) the contesting of such sums shall not constitute a default under any other instrument, agreement, or document to which Borrower is a party, then Borrower may, after certifying to Lender as to items (i) through (iv) hereof, contest such invoice. Together with each such request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with bills and all other documents necessary for the payment of the Operating Expenses and/or extraordinary capital improvement costs approved in writing by Lender which are the subject of such request. Borrower may request a disbursement from the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account no more than one (1) time per calendar month. Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the sums on deposit in the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account or the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any Operating Expenses and/or extraordinary capital improvement costs for the Cross-collateralized Properties or may be applied to the payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Property as Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.
Section 5.10. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 5.11. Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account. Funds deposited into the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account shall be held by Lender in the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account as additional security for the Loan until the Loan has been paid in full. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no O&M Operative Period has existed for three (3) consecutive calendar months, Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower, release all sums contained in the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account and the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account to Borrower. Should an Event of Default occur, the sums on deposit in the Curtailment Reserve Sub-Account and the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt or other charges affecting all or any portion of the Cross-collateralized Properties, as Lender, in
its sole discretion, may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.
Section 5.12. Performance of Engineering Work. (a) Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently thereafter pursue to completion (without regard to the amount of money then available in the Engineering Escrow Account) the Required
Engineering Work prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date. After Borrower completes an item of Required Engineering Work, Borrower may submit to Lender an invoice therefor with lien waivers and a statement from the Engineer, reasonably acceptable to Lender, indicating that the portion of the Required Engineering Work in question has been completed substantially in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and Lender shall, within twenty (20) days thereafter, although in no event more frequently than once each month, reimburse such amount to Borrower from the Engineering Escrow Account; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be reimbursed more than the amount set forth on Exhibit D hereto as the amount allocated to the portion of the Required Engineering Work for which reimbursement is sought.
(b) From and after the date all of the Required Engineering Work is completed, Borrower may submit a written request, which request shall be delivered together with final lien waivers and a statement from the Engineer, as the case may be, reasonably acceptable to Lender, indicating that all of the Required Engineering Work has been completed substantially in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and Lender shall, within twenty (20) days thereafter, disburse any balance of the Engineering Escrow Account to Borrower. Should an Event of Default occur, the sums on deposit in the Engineering Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any Required Engineering Work or may be applied to the payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Cross-collateralized Properties, as Lender in its sole discretion may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.
Section 5.13. Loss Proceeds. In the event of a casualty to the Property, unless Lender elects, or is required pursuant to Article III hereof to make all of the Insurance Proceeds available to Borrower for restoration, Lender and Borrower shall cause all such Insurance Proceeds to be paid by the insurer directly to the Central Account, whereupon Lender shall, after deducting Lender’s costs of recovering and paying out such Insurance Proceeds, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, apply same to reduce the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note; provided, however, that if Lender elects, or is deemed to have elected, to make the Insurance Proceeds available for restoration, all Insurance Proceeds in respect of rent loss, business interruption or similar coverage shall be maintained in the Central Account, to be applied by Lender in the same manner as Rent received with respect to the operation of the Property; provided, further, however, that in the event that the Insurance Proceeds with respect to such rent loss, business interruption or similar insurance policy are paid in a lump sum in advance, Lender shall hold such Insurance Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing escrow account, which shall be an Eligible Account, shall estimate, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused by the casualty, shall divide the aggregate rent loss, business interruption or similar Insurance Proceeds by such number of months, and shall disburse from such bank account into the Central Account each month during the performance of such restoration such monthly installment of said Insurance Proceeds minus, if the sum which otherwise would be required to be deposited into the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account if a Default Management Period existed, which sum shall be remitted by Lender to Manager to pay Operating Expenses. In the event that Insurance Proceeds are to be applied toward restoration, Lender shall hold such funds in a segregated bank account at the Bank, which shall be an Eligible Account, and shall disburse same in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.04 hereof. Unless Lender elects, or is required pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof to make all of the Condemnation Proceeds available to Borrower for restoration, Lender and Borrower shall cause all such Condemnation Proceeds to be paid to the Central Account, whereupon Lender shall, after deducting Lender’s costs of recovering and paying out such Condemnation Proceeds, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, apply same to reduce the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note; provided, however, that any Condemnation Proceeds received in connection with a temporary Taking shall be maintained in the Central Account, to be applied by Lender in the same manner as Rent received with respect to the operation of the Property; provided, further, however, that in the event that the Condemnation Proceeds of any such temporary Taking are paid in a lump sum in advance, Lender shall hold such Condemnation Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing bank account, which shall be an Eligible Account, shall estimate, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, the number of months that the Property shall be affected by such temporary Taking, shall divide the aggregate Condemnation Proceeds in
connection with such temporary Taking by such number of months, and shall disburse from such bank account into the Central Account each month during the pendency of such temporary Taking such monthly installment of said Condemnation Proceeds. In the event that Condemnation Proceeds are to be applied toward restoration, Lender shall hold such funds in a segregated bank account at the Bank, which shall be an Eligible Account, and shall disburse same in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.04 hereof. If any Loss Proceeds are received by Borrower, such Loss Proceeds shall be received in trust for Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower, and shall be forthwith paid into the Central Account, or paid to Lender to hold in a segregated bank account at the Bank, in each case to be applied or disbursed in accordance with the foregoing. Any Loss Proceeds made available to Borrower for restoration in accordance herewith, to the extent not used by Borrower in connection with, or to the extent they exceed the cost of, such restoration, shall be deposited into the Central Account, whereupon Lender shall apply the same to reduce the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note.
Section 5.14. Intentionally Omitted.
ARTICLE VI: CONDEMNATION
Section 6.01. Condemnation. (a) Borrower shall notify Lender promptly of the commencement or threat of any Taking of the Property or any portion thereof. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain the proceeds of any such Taking and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceedings (subject to Borrower’s reasonable approval, except after the occurrence of an Event of Default, in which event Borrower’s approval shall not be required), subject to the provisions of this Security Instrument; provided, however, that Borrower may participate in any such proceedings and shall be authorized and entitled to compromise or settle any such proceeding with respect to Condemnation Proceeds in an amount less than five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender any and all instruments reasonably required in connection with any such proceeding promptly after request therefor by Lender. Except as set forth above, Borrower shall not adjust, compromise, settle or enter into any agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior consent of Lender. All Condemnation Proceeds are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. With respect to Condemnation Proceeds in an amount in excess of five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount, (subject to Borrower’s reasonable approval, except after the occurrence of an Event of Default, in which event Borrower’s approval shall not be required), Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to compromise, settle, collect and receive such Condemnation Proceeds, and to give proper receipts and acquittance therefor. Subject to the provisions of this Article VI, Lender may apply such Condemnation Proceeds (less any cost to Lender of recovering and paying out such proceeds, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and costs allocable to inspecting any repair, restoration or rebuilding work and the plans and specifications therefor) toward the payment of the Debt or to allow such proceeds to be used for the Work.
(b) “Substantial Taking” shall mean (i) a Taking of such portion of the Property that would, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, leave remaining a balance of the Property which would not under then current economic conditions, applicable Development Laws and other applicable Legal Requirements, permit the restoration of the Property so as to constitute a complete, rentable facility of the same sort as existed prior to the Taking, having adequate ingress and egress to the Property, capable of producing a projected Net Operating Income (as reasonably determined by Lender) yielding a projected Debt Service Coverage therefrom for the next two (2) years of not less than the Required Debt Service Coverage, (ii) a Taking which occurs less than two (2) years prior to the Maturity Date, (iii) a Taking which Lender is not reasonably satisfied could be restored within twelve (12) months and at least six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date or (iv) a Taking of more than fifteen percent (15%) of the reasonably estimated fair market value of the Property.
(c) In the case of a Substantial Taking, Condemnation Proceeds shall be payable to Lender in reduction of the Debt but without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind and, provided that no Event of Default exists, if Borrower elects to apply any Condemnation Proceeds it may receive pursuant to this Security Instrument to the payment of the Debt, Borrower may prepay the balance of the Release Price with respect to the Property without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind.
(d) In the event of a Taking which is less than a Substantial Taking, Borrower at its sole cost and expense (whether or not the award shall have been received or shall be sufficient for restoration) shall proceed diligently to restore, or cause the restoration of, the remaining Improvements not so taken, to maintain a complete, rentable, self-contained fully operational facility of the same sort as existed prior to the Taking in as good a condition as is reasonably possible. In the event of such a Taking, Lender shall receive the Condemnation Proceeds and shall pay over the same:
(i) first, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred, to Borrower to the extent of any portion of the award as may be necessary to pay the reasonable cost of restoration of the Improvements remaining, and
(ii) second, to Lender, in reduction of the Debt without any prepayment premium or charge of any kind.
If one or more Takings in the aggregate create a Substantial Taking, then, in such event, the sections of this Article VI above applicable to Substantial Takings shall apply.
(e) In the event Lender is obligated to or elects to make Condemnation Proceeds available for the restoration or rebuilding of the Property, such proceeds shall be disbursed in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.04(b) hereof. If, in accordance with this Article VI, any Condemnation Proceeds are used to reduce the Debt, they shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Note. Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver all instruments requested by Lender for the purpose of confirming the assignment of the Condemnation Proceeds to Lender. Application of all or any part of the Condemnation Proceeds to the Debt shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 3.07 hereof. No application of the Condemnation Proceeds to the reduction of the Debt shall have the effect of releasing the lien of this Security Instrument until the remainder of the Debt has been paid in full. In the case of any Taking, Lender, to the extent that Lender has not been reimbursed by Borrower, shall be entitled, as a first priority out of any Condemnation Proceeds, to reimbursement for all reasonable costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred in the determination and collection of any Condemnation Proceeds. All Condemnation Proceeds deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section, until expended or applied as provided herein, shall be held in accordance with Section 3.04(b) hereof and shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt and the payment and performance of Borrower’s obligations, but Lender shall not be deemed a trustee or other fiduciary with respect to
its receipt of such Condemnation Proceeds or any part thereof. All awards so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in an Eligible Account, but Lender makes no representation or warranty as to the rate or amount of interest, if any, which may accrue on any such deposit and shall have no liability in connection therewith. For purposes hereof, any reference to the award shall be deemed to include interest, if any, which has accrued thereon.
ARTICLE VII: LEASES AND RENTS
Section 7.01. Assignment. (a) Borrower does hereby bargain, sell, assign and set over unto Lender, all of Borrower’s interest in the Leases and Rents. The assignment of Leases and Rents in this Section 7.01 is an absolute, unconditional and present assignment from Borrower to Lender and not an assignment for security and the existence or exercise of Borrower’s revocable license to collect Rent shall not operate to subordinate this assignment to any subsequent assignment. The exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall not be deemed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession. In addition to the provisions of this Article VII, Borrower shall comply with all terms, provisions and conditions of the Assignment.
(b) So long as there shall exist and be continuing no Event of Default, Borrower shall have a revocable license to take all actions with respect to all Leases and Rents, present and future, including the right to collect and use the Rents, subject to the terms of this Security Instrument and the Assignment.
(c) In a separate instrument Borrower shall, as requested from time to time by Lender, assign to Lender or its nominee by specific or general assignment, any and all Leases, such assignments to be in form and
content reasonably acceptable to Lender, but subject to the provisions of Section 7.01(a) and (b) hereof. Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender, within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request, a true and complete copy of every Lease.
(d) The rights of Lender contained in this Article VII, the Assignment or any other assignment of any Lease shall not result in any obligation or liability of Lender to Borrower or any lessee under a Lease or any party claiming through any such lessee.
(e) At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, the license granted hereinabove may be revoked by Lender, and Lender or a receiver appointed in accordance with this Security Instrument may enter upon the Property, and collect, retain and apply the Rents toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
(f) In addition to the rights which Lender may have herein, during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be used and occupied by Borrower and may require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.
Section 7.02. Management of Property. (a) Borrower shall manage the Property or cause the Property to be managed in a manner which is consistent with the Approved Manager Standard. All Space Leases shall provide for rental rates comparable to then existing local market rates and terms and conditions which constitute good and prudent business practice and are consistent with prevailing market terms and conditions, and shall be arms-length transactions. All Space Leases entered into after the date hereof shall provide that they are subordinate to this Security Instrument and that the lessees thereunder attorn to Lender. Borrower shall deliver copies of all Leases, amendments, modifications and renewals thereof to Lender. All proposed Leases for the Property shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, however that Borrower may enter into new leases with unrelated third parties without obtaining the prior consent of Lender provided that: (i) the proposed leases conform with the requirements of this Section 7.02; (ii) the proposed Space Lease is not a Major Space Lease and the space to be leased pursuant to such proposed lease together with any space leased or to be leased to an Affiliate of the tenant thereunder does not exceed 10,000 square feet; and (iii) the term of the proposed lease inclusive of all extensions and renewals, does not exceed ten (10) years.
(b) Borrower (i) shall or shall cause Operating Tenant to observe and perform all of its material obligations under the Leases pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Major Space Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower shall receive under the Major Space Leases; (iii) shall, consistent with the Approved Manager Standard, enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases to be observed or performed; (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents under the Major Space Leases more than one (1) month in advance (except that Borrower may collect in advance such security deposits as are permitted pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and are commercially reasonable in the prevailing market); (v) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Security Instrument; (vi) shall not cancel or terminate any of the Leases or accept a surrender thereof in any manner inconsistent with the Approved Manager Standard; (vii) shall not convey, transfer or suffer or permit a conveyance or transfer of all or any part of the Premises or the Improvements or of any interest therein so as to effect a merger
of the estates and rights of, or a termination or diminution of the obligations of, lessees thereunder; (viii) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of any guaranty of any Major Space Lease or cancel or terminate any such guaranty in a manner inconsistent with the Approved Manager Standard; (ix) shall, in accordance with the Approved Manager Standard, make all reasonable efforts to seek lessees for space as it becomes vacant and enter into Leases in accordance with the terms hereof; (x) shall not cancel or terminate or materially modify, alter or amend any Major Space Lease or Property Agreement without Lender’s consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (xi) shall, without limitation to any other provision hereof, execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Property as are required herein and as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require.
(c) All security deposits shall be held in accordance with all Legal Requirements. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over the security deposits (and any interest thereon) to Lender to be held by Lender in accordance with the terms of the Leases and all Legal Requirements.
(d) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause the applicable lessee to furnish, to Lender financial data and/or financial statements in accordance with Regulation AB for any lessee of the Property if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such lessee or any group of affiliated lessees, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in such Securitization such that such lessee or group of affiliated lessees would constitute a Significant Obligor; provided, however, that in the event the related Space Lease does not require the related lessee to provide the foregoing information, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable lessee to furnish such information.
(e) Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that (i) the Property will be managed at all times by an Approved Manager pursuant to the management agreement approved by Lender (the “Management Agreement”), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) after Borrower has knowledge of a fifty percent (50%) or more change in control of the ownership of Manager, Borrower will promptly give Lender notice thereof (a “Manager Control Notice”) and (iii) the Management Agreement may be terminated by Lender at any time (A) for cause to the extent provided in the Management Agreement (including, but not limited to, Manager’s gross negligence, misappropriation of funds, willful misconduct or fraud) following the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 13.01(a) through (c), or (B) to the extent provided in the Management Agreement, following the receipt of a Manager Control Notice and a substitute Approved Manager shall be appointed by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of publicly traded stock of Manager on a national stock exchange or on the NASDAQ Stock Market in the normal course of business and not in connection with a tender offer or sale of Manager or substantially all of the assets of Manager shall not require the giving of a Manager Control Notice. Borrower may from time to time appoint a successor manager to manage the Property, provided that any such successor manager shall be an Approved Manager. Borrower further covenants and agrees that Borrower shall require Manager (or any successor managers) to maintain at all times during the term of the Loan worker’s compensation insurance as required by Governmental Authorities.
(f) Borrower shall not enter into any new or replacement Franchise Agreement without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that any Franchise Agreement which is on a form in all material respects (including, without limitation, all fees due thereunder) the same as the form of any Franchise Agreement which is contained in the uniform franchise offering circular for any Approved Franchisor shall be deemed an acceptable form), and shall (i) pay or shall cause to be paid all sums required to be paid by Borrower under any Franchise Agreement and Operating Lease, (ii) diligently perform and observe all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of any Franchise Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Borrower under any Franchise Agreement and Operating Lease, (iii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to Borrower of any material default by Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of and Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice, and (iv) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, report and estimate received by it under the Franchise Agreement or the Management Agreement or the Operating Lease. Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of the Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, surrender any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease or terminate or cancel any Franchise Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and Borrower hereby assigns to Lender 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 the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower to surrender any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease in any respect, and any such surrender of any Franchise Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease without the prior consent of
Lender shall be void and of no force and effect, provided, however, Borrower may terminate any Franchise Agreement if Borrower enters into a new Franchise Agreement with an Approved Franchisor pursuant to a Franchise Agreement which is reasonably acceptable to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may renew or replace any Operating Lease, provided such renewal or replacement shall be upon the same terms and conditions as the Operating Lease being renewed or replaced, except rent payable thereunder may be adjusted to the extent necessary to comply with the then-current requirements of the Code for real estate investment trusts. If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Security Instrument, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under any Franchise Agreement and Operating Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Lender and any Person designated by Lender 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. If the franchisor under any Franchise Agreement or lessee under an Operating Lease shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower of default under any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease, as applicable, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall, from time to time, use its best efforts to obtain from the franchisor or lessee under any Franchise Agreement such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrower with the terms of any Franchise Agreement as may be requested by Lender. Borrower shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of any Franchise Agreement within four (4) months of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, unless Lender consents to the non-renewal of such Franchise Agreement in writing, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, provided, however, that Lender shall not exercise such power of attorney unless and until Borrower fails to take the actions required herein.
(g) Intentionally Omitted.
(h) Borrower shall fund and operate, or shall cause Manager to fund and operate, the Property in a manner consistent with a hotel of the same type and category as the Property and in compliance in all material respects with any Franchise Agreement and Operating Lease.
(i) Borrower shall maintain or cause Operating Tenant to cause Manager to maintain Inventory in kind and amount sufficient to meet hotel industry standards for hotels comparable to the hotel located at the Premises and at levels sufficient for the operation of the hotel located at the Premises at historic occupancy levels.
(j) Borrower shall deliver to Lender all notices of default or termination received by Borrower, Operating Tenant or Manager with respect to any licenses and permits, contracts, Property Agreements or insurance policies within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the same.
(k) Borrower shall not permit any Equipment or other personal property to be removed from the Property unless the removed item is consumed or sold in the ordinary course of business, removed temporarily for maintenance and repair, or, if removed permanently, replaced by an article of equivalent suitability and not materially less value, owned by Borrower free and clear of any lien.
ARTICLE VIII: MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Section 8.01. Maintenance and Repair of the Property; Alterations; Replacement of Equipment. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees:
(a) Borrower shall not (i) desert or abandon the Property, (ii) change the use of the Property or cause or permit the use or occupancy of any part of the Property to be discontinued if such discontinuance or use change
would violate any zoning or other law, ordinance or regulation; (iii) consent to or seek any lowering of the zoning classification, or greater zoning restriction affecting the Property; or (iv) take any steps whatsoever to convert the Property, or any portion thereof, to a condominium or cooperative form of ownership.
(b) Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Tenant to, at its expense, (i) take good care of the Property including grounds generally, and utility systems and sidewalks, roads, alleys, and curbs therein, and shall keep the same in good, safe and insurable condition and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (ii) promptly make all necessary repairs to the Property, above grade and below grade, interior and exterior, structural and nonstructural, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen and foreseen, and maintain the Property in a manner appropriate for the facility and (iii) not commit or suffer to be committed any waste of the Property or do or suffer to be done anything which will impair the value of the Property or increase
in any respect the risk of fire or other hazard to the Property. Borrower shall keep the sidewalks, vaults, gutters and curbs comprising, or adjacent to, the Property, clean and free from dirt, snow, ice, rubbish and obstructions. All repairs made by Borrower shall be made with first-class materials, in a good and workmanlike manner, shall be equal or better in quality and class to the original work and shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements. To the extent any of the above obligations are obligations of tenants under Space Leases or other Persons under Property Agreements, Borrower may fulfill its obligations hereunder by causing such tenants or other Persons, as the case may be, to perform their obligations thereunder. As used herein, the terms “repair” and “repairs” shall be deemed to include all necessary replacements.
(c) Borrower shall not demolish, remove, construct, or, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, restore, or alter the Property or any portion thereof, nor consent to or permit any such demolition, removal, construction, restoration, addition or alteration, which would diminish the value of the Property without Lender’s prior written consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(d) Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that together with Equipment owned by Operating Tenant and Manager (i) there are no fixtures, machinery, apparatus, tools, equipment or articles of personal property attached or appurtenant to, or located on, or used in connection with the management, operation or maintenance of the Property, except for the Equipment and equipment leased by Borrower and/or Operating Tenant and/or Manager for the management, operation or maintenance of the Property in accordance with the Loan Documents; (ii) the Equipment and the leased equipment constitute all of the fixtures, machinery, apparatus, tools, equipment and articles of personal property necessary to the proper operation and maintenance of the Property; and (iii) all of the Equipment is free and clear of all liens, except for the lien of this Security Instrument and the Permitted Encumbrances. All right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all extensions, improvements, betterments, renewals and appurtenances to the Property hereafter acquired by, or released to, Borrower or constructed, assembled or placed by Borrower in the Property, and all changes and substitutions of the security constituted thereby, shall be and, in each such case, without any further mortgage, encumbrance, conveyance, assignment or other act by Lender or Borrower, shall become subject to the lien and security interest of this Security Instrument as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as though now owned by Borrower and specifically described in this Security Instrument, but at any and all times Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender any documents Lender may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate for the purpose of specifically subjecting the same to the lien and security interest of this Security Instrument.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Security Instrument to the contrary, Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to remove and dispose of Equipment which may have become obsolete or unfit for use or which is no longer useful in the management, operation or maintenance of the Property. Borrower shall promptly replace any such Equipment so disposed of or removed with other Equipment of equal value and utility, free of any security interest or superior title, liens or claims; except that, if by reason of technological or other developments, replacement of the Equipment so removed or disposed of is not necessary or desirable for the proper management, operation or maintenance of the Property, Borrower shall not be required to replace the same. All such replacements or additional equipment shall be deemed to constitute “Equipment” and shall be covered by the security interest herein granted.
ARTICLE IX: TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE PROPERTY
Section 9.01. Other Encumbrances. Borrower shall not further encumber or permit the further encumbrance in any manner (whether by grant of a pledge, security interest or otherwise) of the Property or any part thereof or interest therein, including, without limitation, of the Rents therefrom. In addition, except for a Permitted Encumbrance, Borrower shall not further encumber and shall not permit the further encumbrance in any manner (whether by grant of a pledge, security interest or otherwise) of Borrower or any direct or indirect interest in Borrower except as expressly permitted pursuant to this Security Instrument.
Section 9.02. No Transfer. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the expertise of Borrower and, if applicable, each General Partner, in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan and will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property. Borrower shall not Transfer, other than Permitted Transfers, nor permit any Transfer, other than Permitted Transfers, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent Lender may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer without Lender’s consent. This provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.
Section 9.03. Due on Sale. Lender may declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon any Transfer, other than Permitted Transfers, or further encumbrance without Lender’s consent without regard to whether any impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder can be demonstrated. This provision shall apply to every Transfer or further encumbrance of the Property or any part thereof or interest in the Property or in Borrower regardless of whether voluntary or
not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer or further encumbrance of the Property or interest in Borrower.

ARTICLE XII: INDEMNIFICATION
Section 12.01. Indemnification Covering Property. In addition, and without limitation, to any other provision of this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall protect, indemnify and save harmless Lender and its successors and assigns, and each of their agents, employees, officers, directors, stockholders, partners and members (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, whether incurred or imposed within or outside the judicial process, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of (a) ownership of this Security Instrument, the Assignment, the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents; (b) any accident, injury to or death of any person or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about, or possession, alteration, repair, operation, maintenance or management of, the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, parking areas, streets or ways; (d) any failure on the part of Borrower to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Security Instrument or the Assignment; (e) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any
materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof; (f) any claim by brokers, finders or similar Persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving the Property or any part
thereof; (g) any Imposition including, without limitation, any Imposition attributable to the execution, delivery, filing, or recording of any Loan Document, Lease or memorandum thereof; (h) any lien or claim arising on or against the Property or any part thereof under any Legal Requirement or any liability asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties with respect thereto; (i) any claim arising out of or in any way relating to any tax or other imposition on the making and/or recording of this Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (j) a Default under Sections 2.02(f), 2.02(g), 2.02(k), 2.02(t) or 2.02(w) hereof, (k) the failure of any Person to file timely with the Internal Revenue Service an accurate Form ▇▇▇▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate, Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions, which may be required in connection with the Loan, or to supply a copy thereof in a timely fashion to the recipient of the proceeds of the Loan; (l) the claims of any lessee or any Person acting through or under any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease or (m) the failure to pay any insurance premiums. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.01 to the contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 12.01 for liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses relative to the foregoing which result from Lender’s, and its successors’ or assigns’, willful misconduct or gross negligence or with respect to matters which first occur after Lender has taken title to the Property through a foreclosure or delivery of a deed in lieu thereof. Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this Section 12.01 shall constitute a part of the Debt secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date the liability, obligation, claim, cost or expense is sustained by Lender, as applicable, until paid. The provisions of this Section 12.01 shall survive the termination of this Security Instrument whether by repayment of the Debt, foreclosure or delivery of a deed in lieu thereof, assignment or otherwise. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of any occurrence of the type set forth in (a) through (m) above, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by Lender promptly after Lender has been notified of such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall compromise the right of Lender (or any other Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower’s expense for its defense with respect to any action which, in the reasonable opinion of Lender or such other Indemnified Party, as applicable, presents a conflict or potential conflict between Lender or such other Indemnified Party that would make such separate representation advisable. Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder without notice to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing and Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, in order to obtain the benefit of this Section 12.01 with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, Lender and the Indemnified Parties agree that they shall not settle such action, suit or proceeding without obtaining Borrower’s consent which Borrower agrees not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay; provided, however, (x) if Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above and Lender has provided Borrower with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of the applicable law, and Borrower has failed to correct such failure, or (y) failure to settle could, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, expose Lender to criminal liability, Lender may settle such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of Borrower and be entitled to the benefits of this Section 12.01 with respect to the settlement of such action, suit or proceeding.
ARTICLE XIII: DEFAULTS
Section 13.01. Events of Default. The Debt shall become immediately due at the option of Lender upon any one or more of the following events (“Event of Default”):

(b) if any monthly payment of interest and/or principal due under the Note (other than the sums described in (a) above) shall not be fully paid on the date upon which the same is due and payable thereunder; provided, that the failure of any such amount to be paid when due shall not be an Event of Default if adequate funds were on deposit in the relevant Sub-Account (or would have been on deposit therein if Lender had timely allocated such funds thereto from the Central Account and/or the Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of Article V hereof);
(c) if payment of any sum (other than the sums described in (a) above or (b) above) required to be paid pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document shall not be paid within five (5) Business Days after Lender delivers written notice to Borrower that same is due and payable thereunder or hereunder;

(e) if (i) Borrower fails to deliver to Lender the original insurance policies or certificates as herein provided (provided, however, that if the insurance policies required by this Security Instrument are maintained in full force and effect, then Borrower shall have five (5) Business Days after notice from Lender of Borrower’s failure to deliver the original policies or certificates (whichever has not been delivered as required) to deliver same to Lender before such failure becomes an Event of Default) or (ii) if the insurance policies required hereunder are not kept in full force and effect as herein provided (no notice or cure period applies to this item (ii));
(f) if Borrower or Guarantor attempts to assign its rights under this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document or any interest herein or therein, or if any Transfer occurs other than in accordance with the provisions hereof;
(g) if any representation or warranty of Borrower or Guarantor made herein or in any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, financial statement or other instrument or agreement furnished to Lender shall prove false or misleading in any material respect as of the date made; provided, however, that if such representation or warranty which was false or misleading in any material respect is, by its nature, curable and is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and such representation or warranty was not, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, false or misleading in any material respect when made, then the same shall not constitute an Event of Default unless Borrower has not cured the same within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Borrower of notice from Lender in writing of such breach;
(h) if Borrower, Operating Tenant, Guarantor or any general partner of Borrower, Operating Tenant or Guarantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due;
(i) if a receiver, liquidator or trustee of Borrower, Operating Tenant, Guarantor or any general partner of Borrower, Operating Tenant or Guarantor shall be appointed or if Borrower, Operating Tenant, Guarantor or their respective general partners shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in, by Borrower, Operating Tenant, Guarantor or their respective general partners or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower, Operating Tenant, Guarantor or their respective general partners shall be instituted; however, if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to by Borrower, Operating Tenant, Guarantor or their respective general partners, as applicable, upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within ninety (90) days or if Borrower, Operating Tenant, Guarantor or their respective general partners shall generally not be paying its debts as they become due;
(j) if Borrower shall be in default beyond any notice or grace period, if any, under any other mortgage or deed of trust or security agreement covering any part of the Property without regard to its priority relative to this Security Instrument; provided, however, this provision shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions of Article IX prohibiting further encumbrances affecting the Property or any other provision of this Security Instrument;
(k) if the Property becomes subject (i) to any lien which is superior to the lien of this Security Instrument, other than a lien for real estate taxes and assessments not due and payable, or (ii) to any mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien which is or is asserted to be superior to the lien of this Security Instrument, and such lien shall remain undischarged (by payment, bonding, or otherwise) for fifteen (15) days unless contested in accordance with the terms hereof;
(l) if Borrower discontinues the operation of the Property or any material part thereof for reasons other than repair or restoration arising from a casualty or condemnation or any renovation project for ten (10) days or more;
(m) except as permitted in this Security Instrument, any material alteration, demolition or removal of any of the Improvements without the prior consent of Lender;
(n) if Borrower consummates a transaction which would cause this Security Instrument or Lender’s rights under this Security Instrument, the Note or any other Loan Document to constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or result in a violation of a state statute regulating government plans subjecting Lender to liability for a violation of ERISA or a state statute;
(o) if a default by Borrower beyond applicable notice and grace periods, if any, occurs under the Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease, or if the Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease is terminated, or if, without Lender’s prior written consent, there is a material change to the Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease unless, with respect to any default under or termination of the Franchise Agreement, Borrower enters into a replacement Franchise Agreement within thirty (30) days of the termination or receipt of notice of any such default, as applicable, in accordance with the terms hereof;
(p) if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under any of the other Cross-collateralized Mortgages;
(q) if Borrower is a tenancy-in-common, if any TIC brings a partition action without first offering its interest to the other TICs or if, upon the making of such offer, one or more of the TICs does not purchase the tenant-in-common interest of the TIC which desires to bring a partition action;
(r) if Borrower is a tenancy-in-common, if the TIC Agreement is modified without the prior written consent of Lender or if the Person appointed in the TIC Agreement as manager is replaced or removed without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender; or
(s) if a default shall occur under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of the Note, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, other than as set forth in (a) through (r) above, for ten (10) days after notice from Lender in the case of any default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in the case of any other default or an additional ninety (90) days if Borrower is diligently and continuously effectuating a cure of a curable non-monetary default, other than as set forth in (a) through (r) above.
Section 13.02. Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it hereunder or under any other Loan Document, at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, as it reasonably deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower or any one or more of the Cross-collateralized Borrowers and in and to the Property or any one or more of the Cross-collateralized Properties including, but not limited to, the following
actions, each of which may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting any other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, at law or in equity: (i) declare all or any portion of the unpaid Debt to be immediately due and payable;

or (ii) bring an action to foreclose this Security Instrument and without applying for a receiver for the Rents, but subject to the rights of the tenants under the Leases, enter into or upon the Property or any part thereof, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys, and dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants therefrom, and thereupon Lender may (A) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat, (B) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property or any part thereof, (C) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Property or any part thereof, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and other income of the Property and every part thereof, and (D) apply the receipts from the Property or any part thereof to the payment of the Debt, after deducting therefrom all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) reasonably incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Impositions, insurance and other charges in connection with the Property or any part thereof, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Lender’s third-party agents; or (iii) have an appraisal or other valuation of the Property or any part thereof performed by an Appraiser (and Borrower covenants and agrees it shall cooperate in causing any such valuation or appraisal to be performed) and any cost or expense incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and shall be immediately due and payable to Lender with interest, at the Default Rate, until the date of receipt by Lender; or (iv) sell the Property or institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or take such other action as may be allowed pursuant to Legal Requirements, at law or in equity, for the enforcement of this Security Instrument in which case the Property or any part thereof may be sold for cash or credit in one or more parcels; or (v) with or without entry, and to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable Legal Requirements, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or take such other action as may be allowed pursuant to Legal Requirements, at law or in equity, for the enforcement of this Security Instrument for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to the lien of this Security Instrument continuing unimpaired and without loss of priority so as to secure the balance of the Debt not then due; or (vi) sell the Property or any part thereof and any or all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Borrower therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more sales, in whole or in parcels, in any order or manner, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law, at the discretion of Lender, 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 on the remaining portion of the Property; or (vii) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in the Loan Documents, or any of them; or (viii) recover judgment on the Note or any guaranty either before, during or after (or in lieu of) any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument;

or (x) require, at Lender’s option, Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of any portion of the Property occupied by Borrower and may require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession
to Lender of the Property or to such receiver and Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; or (xi) without notice to Borrower (A) apply all or any portion of the cash collateral in any Sub-Account and Escrow Account, including any interest and/or earnings therein, to carry out the obligations of Borrower under this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, to protect and preserve the Property and for any other purpose permitted under this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and/or (B) have all or any portion of such cash collateral immediately paid to Lender to be applied against the Debt in the order and priority set forth in the Note; or (xii) pursue any or all such other rights or remedies as Lender may have under applicable law or
in equity; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 13.02(a) shall not be construed to extend or modify any of the notice requirements or grace periods provided for hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements, any defense Borrower might otherwise raise or have by the failure to make any tenants parties defendant to a foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights in any proceeding instituted by Lender.
(b) Any time after an Event of Default Lender shall have the power to sell the Property or any part thereof at public auction, in such manner, at such time and place, upon such terms and conditions, and upon such public notice as Lender may deem best for the interest of Lender, or as may be required or permitted by applicable law, consisting of advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation in the jurisdiction and for such period as applicable law may require and at such other times and by such other methods, if any, as may be required by law to convey the Property in fee simple by Lender’s deed with special warranty of title to and at the cost of the purchaser, who shall not be liable to see to the application of the purchase money. The proceeds or avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 13.02, together with any other sums which then may be held by Lender under this Security Instrument, whether under the provisions of this Section 13.02 or otherwise, shall be applied as follows:
First: To the payment of the third-party costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any such sale and to advances, fees and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s legal counsel as applicable, and of any judicial proceedings wherein the same may be made, and of all expenses, liabilities and advances reasonably made or incurred by Lender under this Security Instrument, together with interest as provided herein on all such advances made by Lender, and all Impositions, except any Impositions or other charges subject to which the Property shall have been sold;
Second: To the payment of the whole amount then due, owing and unpaid under the Note for principal and interest thereon, with interest on such unpaid principal at the Default Rate from the date of the occurrence of the earliest Event of Default that formed a basis for such sale until the same is paid;
Third: To the payment of any other portion of the Debt required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any provision of this Security Instrument, the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents; and
Fourth: The surplus, if any, to Borrower unless otherwise required by Legal Requirements.
Lender and any receiver or custodian of the Property or any part thereof shall be liable to account for only those rents, issues, proceeds and profits actually received by it.
(c) Lender may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Security Instrument by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of Legal Requirements, Lender, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.
(d) Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by Lender under or by virtue of this Section 13.02, Lender, or any officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, granting, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower (coupled with an interest), in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the property and rights so sold and for that purpose Lender may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery, and may substitute one or more Persons with like power, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney-in-fact or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, Borrower, if so requested by Lender, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Lender, or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the sole judgement of Lender, for such purpose, and as may be designated in such request. Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Section 13.02, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and
demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the property and rights so sold, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted under Legal Requirements, be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity against Borrower and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under Borrower.
(e) In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 13.02 (whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), the entire Debt immediately thereupon shall, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, become due and payable.
(f) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 13.02 (whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), Lender may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action.
(g) No recovery of any judgment by Lender and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Property or any part thereof or upon any other property of Borrower shall release the lien of this Security Instrument upon the Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue unimpaired until all amounts due under the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are paid in full.
(h) Upon the exercise by Lender of any power, right, privilege, or remedy pursuant to this Security Instrument which requires any consent, approval, registration, qualification, or authorization of any Governmental Authority, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, assignments and other documents and papers that Lender or any purchaser of the Property may be required to obtain for such governmental consent, approval, registration, qualification, or authorization and Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower (coupled with an interest), in its name and stead, to execute all such applications, certificates, instruments, assignments and other documents and papers.
Section 13.03. Payment of Debt After Default. If, following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt in whole or in part at any time prior to a foreclosure sale of the Property, and if at the time of such tender prepayment of the principal balance of the Note is not permitted by the Note or this Security Instrument, Borrower shall, in addition to the entire Debt, also pay to Lender a sum equal to (a) all accrued interest on the Note and all other fees, charges and sums due and payable hereunder, (b) all costs and expenses in connection with the enforcement of Lender’s rights hereunder, and (c) a prepayment charge (the “Prepayment Charge”) equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the Principal Amount and (ii) the present value of a series of payments each equal to the Payment Differential (as hereinafter defined) and payable on each Payment Date over the remaining original term of the Note and on the Payment Date occurring two months prior to the Maturity Date, discounted at the Reinvestment Yield (as hereinafter defined) for the number of months remaining as of the date of such prepayment to each such Payment Date and the Payment Date occurring two months prior to the Maturity Date. The term “Payment Differential” shall mean an amount equal to (i) the Interest Rate less the Reinvestment Yield, divided by (ii) twelve (12) and multiplied by (iii) the Principal Amount after application of the constant monthly payment due under the Note on the date of such prepayment, provided that the Payment Differential shall in no event be less than zero. The term “Reinvestment Yield” shall mean an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a maturity date closest to the Payment Date occurring two months prior to the Maturity Date, or (ii) the yield on the U.S. Treasury issue (primary issue) with a term equal to the remaining average life of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, with each such yield being based on the bid price for such issue as published in the Wall Street Journal on the date that is fourteen (14) days prior to the date of such prepayment set forth in the notice of prepayment (or, if such bid price is not published on that date, the next preceding date on which such bid price is so published) and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. In addition to the amounts described above, if, during the first (1st) Loan Year, Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt in whole or in part following the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall, in addition to the entire Debt, also pay to Lender a sum equal to three percent (3%) of the Principal Amount. Failure of Lender to require any of these payments shall not constitute a waiver of the right to require the same in the event of any subsequent default or to exercise any other remedy available to Lender hereunder, under any other Loan Document or at law or in equity. In the event that any prepayment charge is due hereunder, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement setting forth the amount and determination of the prepayment fee, and, provided that Lender shall have in good faith applied the formula described above, Borrower shall not have the right to challenge the calculation or the method of calculation set forth in any such statement in the absence of manifest error, which calculation may be made by Lender on any day during the fifteen (15) day period preceding the date of such prepayment. Lender shall not be obligated or required to have actually reinvested the prepaid principal balance at the Reinvestment Yield or otherwise as a condition to receiving the prepayment charge. If at the time of such tender, prepayment of the principal balance of the Note is permitted, such tender by Borrower shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment of the principal balance of the Note, and Borrower shall, in addition to the entire Debt, also pay to Lender the applicable prepayment consideration specified in the Note and this Security Instrument.
Section 13.04. Possession of the Property. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and the acceleration of the Debt or any portion thereof, Borrower, if an occupant of the Property or any part thereof, upon demand of Lender, shall immediately surrender possession of the Property (or the portion thereof so occupied) to Lender, and if Borrower is permitted to remain in possession, the possession shall be as a month-to-month tenant of Lender and, on demand, Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly, in advance, a reasonable rental for the space so occupied and in default thereof Borrower may be dispossessed. The covenants herein contained may be enforced by a receiver of the Property or any part thereof. Nothing in this Section 13.04 shall be deemed to be a waiver of the provisions of this Security Instrument making the Transfer of the Property or any part thereof without Lender’s prior written consent an Event of Default.
Section 13.05. Interest After Default. If any amount due under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents is not paid within any applicable notice and grace period after same is due, whether such date is the stated due date, any accelerated due date or any other date or at any other time specified under any of the terms hereof or thereof, then, in such event, Borrower shall pay interest on the amount not so paid from and after the date on which such amount first becomes due at the Default Rate; and such interest shall be due and payable at such rate until the earlier of the cure of all Events of Default or the payment of the entire amount due to Lender, whether or not any action shall have been taken or proceeding commenced to recover the same or to foreclose this Security Instrument. All unpaid and accrued interest shall be secured by this Security Instrument as part of the Debt. Nothing in this Section 13.05 or in any other provision of this Security Instrument shall constitute an extension of the time for payment of the Debt.
Section 13.06. Borrower’s Actions After Default. After the happening of any Event of Default and immediately upon the commencement of any action, suit or other legal proceedings by Lender to obtain judgment for the Debt, or of any other nature in aid of the enforcement of the Loan Documents, Borrower will (a) after receipt of notice of the institution of any such action, waive the issuance and service of process and enter its voluntary appearance in such action, suit or proceeding, and (b) if required by Lender, consent to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Property or any part thereof and of all the earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income thereof.
Section 13.07. Control by Lender After Default. Notwithstanding the appointment of any custodian, receiver, liquidator or trustee of Borrower, or of any of its property, or of the Property or any part thereof, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, Lender shall be entitled to obtain possession and control of all property now and hereafter covered by this Security Instrument and the Assignment in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section 13.08. Right to Cure Defaults. (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender or its agents may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender and its agents are authorized to enter upon the Property or any part thereof for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceedings to protect Lender’s interest in
the Property or any part thereof or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 13.08, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be immediately due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in remedying such Event of Default or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period from the date so demanded to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents together with interest thereon calculated at the above rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument.
(b) If Lender makes any payment or advance that Lender is authorized by this Security Instrument to make in the place and stead of Borrower (i) relating to the Impositions or tax liens asserted against the Property, Lender may do so according to any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy of the ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate or into the validity of any of the Impositions or the tax liens or claims thereof; (ii) relating to any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, claim of lien, encumbrance, claim or charge, Lender will be the sole judge of the legality or validity of same; or (iii) relating to any other purpose authorized by this Security Instrument but not enumerated in this Section 13.08, Lender may do so whenever, in its judgment and discretion, the payment or advance seems necessary or desirable to protect the Property and the full security interest intended to be created by this Security Instrument. In connection with any payment or advance made pursuant to this Section 13.08, Lender has the option and is authorized, but in no event shall be obligated, to obtain a continuation report of title prepared by a title insurance company. The payments and the advances made by Lender pursuant to this Section 13.08 and the cost and expenses of said title report will be due and payable by Borrower on demand, together with interest at the Default Rate, and will be secured by this Security Instrument.
Section 13.09. Late Payment Charge. If any portion of the Debt (other than the principal portion of the Debt due on Maturity) is not paid in full on or before the day on which it is due and payable hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such unpaid portion of the Debt (“Late Charge”) to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment, and such amount shall constitute a part of the Debt.
Section 13.10. Recovery of Sums Required to Be Paid. Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due and payable hereunder (after the expiration of any grace period or the giving of any notice herein provided, if any), without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
Section 13.11. Marshalling and Other Matters. Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement, redemption (both equitable and statutory) and homestead 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. Nothing herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any particular Cross-collateralized Property for the satisfaction of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Cross-collateralized Property but Lender may seek satisfaction out of all the Cross-collateralized Properties or any part thereof in its absolute discretion. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, whether equitable or statutory and on behalf of each and every Person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property or any part thereof subsequent to the date of this Security Instrument and on behalf of all Persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 13.12. Tax Reduction Proceedings. After an Event of Default, Borrower shall be deemed to have appointed Lender as its attorney-in-fact to seek a reduction or reductions in the assessed valuation of the Property for real property tax purposes or for any other purpose and to prosecute any action or proceeding in connection therewith. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for so long as any part of the Debt remains unpaid and any Event of Default shall be continuing.
Section 13.13. General Provisions Regarding Remedies.
(a) Right to Terminate Proceedings. Lender may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in Section 13.02 at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in Lender’s sole discretion and without prejudice to Lender.
(b) No Waiver or Release. The failure of Lender to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in the Loan Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation contained in the Loan Documents. No acceptance by Lender of any payment after the occurrence of an Event of Default and no payment by Lender of any payment or obligation for which Borrower is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default. No sale of all or any portion of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Lender, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Lender to Borrower or any other Person, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Lender in the Property or the liability of Borrower to pay the Debt. No waiver by Lender shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated.
(c) No Impairment; No Releases. The interests and rights of Lender under the Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Lender may grant with respect to any of the Debt; (ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Lender may grant with respect to the Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Debt.
(d) Effect on Judgment. No recovery of any judgment by Lender and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon any Property or any portion thereof shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of the other Cross-collateralized Mortgages upon the remaining Cross-collateralized Properties or any portion thereof, or any rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder or thereunder. Such lien, rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue unimpaired as before.
ARTICLE XIV: COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS
Section 14.01. Compliance with Legal Requirements. (a) Borrower shall promptly comply with all present and future Legal Requirements, foreseen and unforeseen, ordinary and extraordinary, whether requiring structural or nonstructural repairs or alterations including, without limitation, all zoning, subdivision, building, safety and environmental protection, land use and development Legal Requirements, all Legal Requirements which may be applicable to the curbs adjoining the Property or to the use or manner of use thereof, and all rent control, rent stabilization and all other similar Legal Requirements relating to rents charged and/or collected in connection with the Leases.

(i) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, and without regard to whether Lender shall have taken possession of the Property or a receiver has been requested or appointed or any other right or remedy of Lender has or may be exercised hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Lender shall have the right (but no obligation) to conduct such investigations, studies, sampling and/or testing of the Property or any part thereof as Lender may, in its discretion, determine to conduct, relative to Hazardous Materials. All costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith including, without limitation, consultants’ fees and disbursements and laboratory fees, shall constitute a part of the Debt and shall, upon demand by Lender, be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date so demanded by Lender until reimbursed. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, fully and expeditiously cooperate in all such investigations, studies, samplings and/or testings including, without limitation, providing all relevant information and making knowledgeable people available for interviews.

This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Security Instrument whether by repayment of the Debt, foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, assignment, or otherwise. The indemnity provided for in this Section 16.02 shall not be included in any exculpation of Borrower from personal liability provided for in this Security Instrument or in any of the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Section 16.02 shall be deemed to deprive Lender of any rights or remedies otherwise available to Lender, including, without limitation, those rights and remedies provided elsewhere in this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

Section 18.14. Security Agreement. (a) (i) This Security Instrument is both a real property mortgage, deed to secure debt or deed of trust, as applicable, and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property. This Security Instrument is filed as a fixture filing and covers goods which are or are to become fixtures on the Property. Borrower by executing and delivering this Security Instrument has granted to Lender, as security for the Debt, a security interest in the Property to the full extent that the Property may be subject to the UCC (said portion of the Property so subject to the UCC
being called in this Section 18.14 the “Collateral”). If an Event of Default shall occur, Lender, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it 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 UCC, 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 Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Lender following an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any disposition pursuant to the UCC of so much of the Collateral as may constitute personal property shall be considered commercially reasonable if made pursuant to a public sale which is advertised at least twice in a newspaper in which sheriff’s sales are advertised in the county where the Premises is located. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral given to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. It is not necessary that the Collateral be present at any disposition thereof. Lender shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition.
(ii) The mention in a financing statement filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property of any portion of the Property shall not derogate from or impair in any manner the intention of this Security Instrument. Lender hereby declares that all items of Collateral are part of the real property encumbered hereby to the fullest extent permitted by law, regardless of whether any such item is physically attached to the Improvements or whether serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items. Specifically, the mention in any such financing statement of any items included in the Property shall not be construed to alter, impair or impugn any rights of Lender as determined by this Security Instrument or the priority of Lender’s lien upon and security interest in the Property in the event that notice of Lender’s priority of interest as to any portion of the Property is required to be filed in accordance with the UCC to be effective against or take priority over the interest of any particular class of persons, including the federal government or any subdivision or instrumentality thereof. No portion of the Collateral constitutes or is the proceeds of “Farm Products”, as defined in the UCC.
(iii) If Borrower is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of Borrower, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender thereof and, at the request and option of Lender, Borrower shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, either (A) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to Lender of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (B) arrange for Lender to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with Lender agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter to credit are to be applied as provided in this Security Instrument.
(iv) Borrower and Lender acknowledge that for the purposes of Article 9 of the UCC, the law of the State of New York shall be the law of the jurisdiction of the bank in which the Central Account is located.
(v) Lender may comply with any applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the disposition of the Collateral, and Lender’s compliance therewith will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(vi) Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(vii) If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to the indebtedness of Borrower. In the event the purchaser of the Collateral fails to fully pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Borrower will be credited with the proceeds of such sale.
(b) Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender 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 Lender, as secured party, or, to the extent permitted under the UCC, unsigned, in connection with the Collateral covered by this Security Instrument.
Section 18.15. Actions and Proceedings. Lender has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property in its own name or, if required by Legal Requirements or, if in Lender’s reasonable judgment, it is necessary, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender believes will adversely affect the Property or this Security Instrument and to bring any action or proceedings, in its name or in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property.
Section 18.16. Usury Laws. This Security Instrument and the Note are subject to the express condition, and it is the expressed intent of the parties, that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note 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 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 principal balance due under the Note at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, such rate of interest 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. No application to the principal balance of the Note pursuant to this Section 18.16 shall give rise to any requirement to pay any prepayment fee or charge of any kind due hereunder, if any.
Section 18.17. Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under the Note, this Security Instrument or the Loan Documents, it has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Lender shall not be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s remedies shall be limited to injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
Section 18.18. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of this Security Instrument, the Assignment and the Note shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Note, the Assignment or this Security Instrument which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of this Security Instrument, the Assignment and the Note and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon this Security Instrument, the Assignment or the Note and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 18.19. No Merger. If Borrower’s and Lender’s estates become the same including, without limitation, upon the delivery of a deed by Borrower in lieu of a foreclosure sale, or upon a purchase of the Property by Lender in a foreclosure sale, this Security Instrument and the lien created hereby shall not be destroyed or terminated by the application of the doctrine of merger and in such event Lender shall continue to have and enjoy all of the rights and privileges of Lender as to the separate estates; and, as a consequence thereof, upon the foreclosure of the lien created by this Security Instrument, any Leases or subleases then existing and created by Borrower shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the law of merger or as a result of such foreclosure unless Lender or any purchaser at any such foreclosure sale shall so elect. No act by or on behalf of Lender or any such purchaser shall constitute a termination of any Lease or sublease unless Lender or such purchaser shall give written notice thereof to such lessee or sublessee.
Section 18.20. Restoration of Rights. In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Security Instrument by foreclosure sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then, in every such case, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Property subject to the lien hereof.
Section 18.21. Waiver of Statute of Limitations. The pleadings of any statute of limitations as a defense to any and all obligations secured by this Security Instrument are hereby waived to the full extent permitted by Legal Requirements.
Section 18.22. Advances. This Security Instrument shall cover any and all advances made pursuant to the Loan Documents, rearrangements and renewals of the Debt and all extensions in the time of payment thereof, even though such advances, extensions or renewals be evidenced by new promissory notes or other instruments hereafter executed and irrespective of whether filed or recorded. Likewise, the execution of this Security Instrument shall not impair or affect any other security which may be given to secure the payment of the Debt, and all such additional security shall be considered as cumulative. The taking of additional security, execution of partial releases of the security, or any extension of time of payment of the Debt shall not diminish the force, effect or lien of this Security Instrument and shall not affect or impair the liability of Borrower and shall not affect or impair the liability of any maker, surety, or endorser for the payment of the Debt.
Section 18.23. Application of Default Rate Not a Waiver. Application of the Default Rate shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or any rights or remedies of Lender under this Security Instrument, any other Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate may be invoked.
Section 18.24. Intervening Lien. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any agreement hereafter made pursuant to this Security Instrument shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien.
Section 18.25. No Joint Venture or Partnership. Borrower and Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of mortgagor and mortgagee or grantor and beneficiary or borrower and lender, as the case may be. Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
Section 18.26. Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence in the performance of all obligations of Borrower hereunder.
Section 18.27. Borrower’s Obligations Absolute. Borrower acknowledges that Lender and/or certain Affiliates of Lender are engaged in the business of financing, owning, operating, leasing, managing, and brokering real estate and in other business ventures which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business, prospect, profits, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower. Except as set forth to the contrary in the Loan Documents, all sums payable by Borrower hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand, counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction, and the obligations and liabilities of Borrower hereunder shall in no way be released, discharged, or otherwise affected (except as expressly provided herein) by reason of: (a) any damage to or destruction of or any Taking of the Property or any portion thereof or any other Cross-collateralized Property; (b) any restriction or prevention of or interference with any use of the Property or any portion thereof or any other Cross-collateralized Property; (c) any title defect or encumbrance or any eviction from the Premises or any portion thereof by title paramount or otherwise; (d) any bankruptcy proceeding relating to Borrower, any General Partner, or any guarantor or indemnitor, or any action taken with respect to this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document by any trustee or receiver of Borrower or any other Cross-collateralized Borrower or any such General Partner, guarantor or indemnitor, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (e) any claim which Borrower has or might have against Lender; (f) any default or failure on the part of Lender to perform or comply with any of the terms hereof or of any other agreement with Borrower or any other Cross-collateralized Borrower; or (g) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not Borrower shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.
Section 18.28. Publicity. All promotional news releases, publicity or advertising by Manager, Borrower or their respective Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public shall not refer to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, or to Lender or to any of its Affiliates without the prior written approval of Lender or such Affiliate, as applicable, in each instance, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall be authorized to provide information relating to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, or to Lender or to any of its Affiliates, to rating agencies, underwriters, potential securities investors, auditors, regulatory authorities and to any Persons which may be entitled to such information by operation of law and without limiting the foregoing to issue press releases and make Form 8-K and other securities filings containing the above-described information as it or its counsel reasonably deems required by law. Lender shall be authorized to provide information relating to the Property, the Loan and matters relating thereto to rating agencies, underwriters, potential securities investors, auditors, regulatory authorities and to any Persons which may be entitled to such information by operation of law and may use basic transaction information (including, without limitation, the name of Borrower, the name and address of the Property and the Loan Amount) in press releases or other marketing materials.
Section 18.29. Securitization Opinions. In the event the Loan is included as an asset of a Securitization by Lender or any of its Affiliates, Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s written request therefor, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, deliver opinions in form and substance and delivered by counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender and each Rating Agency, as may be reasonably required by Lender and/or the Rating Agency in connection with such securitization. Borrower’s failure to deliver the opinions required hereby within such ten (10) Business Day period shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder.
Section 18.30. Cooperation with Rating Agencies; etc. Borrower covenants and agrees that in the event the Loan is to be included as an asset of a Securitization, Borrower shall, at the sole cost and expense of Lender, (a) gather any information reasonably required by each Rating Agency in connection with such a Securitization, (b) at Lender’s request, meet with representatives of each Rating Agency to discuss the business and operations of the Property, and (c) cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and Lender in connection with all of the foregoing as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents with respect thereto, including, without limitation, entering into any amendments or modifications to this Security Instrument or to any other Loan Document which may be requested by Lender to conform to Rating Agency or market standards for a Securitization provided that no such modification shall modify (a) the interest rate payable under the Note, (b) the stated maturity of the Note, (c) the amortization of principal under the Note, (d) Section
18.32 hereof, (e) any other material economic term of the Loan or (f) any provision, the effect of which would materially increase Borrower’s obligations or materially decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that the information provided by Borrower to Lender may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization and to the fullest extent permitted, Borrower irrevocably waives all rights, if any, to prohibit such disclosures including, without limitation, any right of privacy. Lender and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, Borrower and Borrower indemnifies and holds harmless the Indemnified Parties, their Affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as same may be amended from time to time, for, from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, whether incurred or imposed within or outside the judicial process, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in such information supplied by or on behalf of Borrower or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information supplied by or on behalf of Borrower or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Section 18.31. Securitization Financials. Borrower covenants and agrees that, upon Lender’s written request therefor in connection with a Securitization, Borrower shall, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, deliver as soon as is reasonably practicable (a) audited financial statements and related documentation prepared by an Independent certified public accountant that satisfy securities laws and requirements for use in a public registration statement (which may include up to three (3) years of historical audited financial statements) and (b) if, at the time one or more Disclosure Documents are being prepared in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more of its Affiliates collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and any other parcel(s) of real property, together with improvements thereon and personal property related thereto, that is “related”, within the meaning of the definition of Significant Obligor, to the Property (a “Related Property”) collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, net operating income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB and meeting the requirements thereof, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan, together with any loans made to an Affiliate of Borrower or secured by a Related Property that is included in a Securitization with the Loan (a “Related Loan”), as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB and meeting the requirements thereof, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender as soon as reasonably practicable but in all events within twenty(20) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization and, with respect to the data or financial statements required pursuant to clause (b) hereof, (A) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (B) not later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each Fiscal Year; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with or relating to the Securitization is not required.
Section 18.32. Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything in this Security Instrument or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 18.32 to the contrary, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower or any Person holding a direct or indirect interest in Borrower or (a) if Borrower or any of its direct or indirect owners is a partnership, its or their direct or indirect constituent partners or any of their respective partners, (b) if Borrower or any of its direct or indirect owners is a trust, its or their beneficiaries or any of their respective Partners (as hereinafter defined), (c) if Borrower or any of its direct or

Section 18.34. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 18.35. Mezzanine Loan Option. (a) Lender shall have the right at any time to divide the Loan into two or more parts (the “Mezzanine Option”): a “mortgage loan” and one or more “mezzanine loans.” The principal amount of the mortgage loan plus the principal amount of the mezzanine loan(s) shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s). In effectuating the foregoing, Lender will make one or more loans to one or more entities that will be the direct or indirect equity owner(s) of Borrower as described in Section 18.35(b) (collectively, the “Mezzanine Borrower”). The Mezzanine Borrower will contribute the amount of the mezzanine loan(s) to Borrower (in its capacity as borrower under the mortgage loan, “mortgage borrower”) and the mortgage borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Loan to the mortgage loan amount. The mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s) will be on the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in the Loan Documents except as follows. The mezzanine loan(s) shall be made pursuant to Lender’s standard mezzanine loan documents.
(b) Lender shall have the right to establish different interest rates and debt service payments for the mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s) and to require the payment of the mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for the mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s) shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s), (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s) shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to
creation of the mortgage loan and mezzanine loan(s) and (iii) the debt service payments on the mortgage loan note and the mezzanine loan note(s) shall on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due under the Loan immediately prior to creation of a mortgage loan and a mezzanine loan(s).
(c) The Mezzanine Borrower shall be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity pursuant to applicable Rating Agency criteria and shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of the mortgage borrower. The security for the mezzanine loan(s) shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct and indirect ownership interests in the mortgage borrower.
(d) Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to convert the Loan into a mortgage loan and one or more mezzanine loans and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the delivery of non-consolidation, enforceability, authorization and execution opinions and an “Eagle 9” or “UCC plus” (or equivalent) UCC insurance policy and the modification of organizational documents and loan documents and the transfer of the membership interest in Borrower to the Mezzanine Borrower.
It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to cooperate in all reasonable respects in effectuating any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 18.35 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days notice of non-cooperation.
Section 18.36. Component Notes. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to execute and deliver “component” notes (including senior and junior notes), which notes may be paid in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender, provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such “component” notes shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such “component” notes, (b) the weighted average interest rate of all such “component” notes shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such “component” notes (it being acknowledged by Borrower that if an Event of Default occurs during the term of the Loan, whether or not it is subsequently cured, the weighted average interest rates of the “component” notes may increase (i.e. the Loan may have “rate creep”)), (c) the debt service payments on all such “component” notes shall on the date created equal the debt service payment which was and would be due under the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such component notes (it being acknowledged by Borrower that if an Event of Default occurs during the term of the Loan, whether or not it is subsequently cured, the weighted average interest rates of the “component” notes may increase (i.e. the Loan may have “rate creep”)) and (d) the other terms and provisions of each of the “component” notes shall be identical in substance and substantially similar in form to the Loan Documents. Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to establish the “component” notes and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of security documents if requested. It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 18.36 after the expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.

Section 18.38. Certain Matters Relating to Property located in the State of Florida. With respect to the Property which is located in the State of Florida, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary:
(a) It is agreed that, in addition to existing indebtedness, any future advances made by the then holder of the Note to or for the benefit of Borrower or Borrower’s permitted assignees, whether such advances are obligatory or are made at the option of Lender, or otherwise, at any time within twenty (20) years from the date of this Security Instrument, with interest thereon at the rate agreed upon at the time of each additional loan or advance, shall be equally secured with and have the same priority as the Debt and be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Security Instrument, whether or not such additional loan or advance is evidenced by a promissory note of Borrower and whether or not identified by a recital that it is secured by this Security Instrument; provided that, although the total amount of the indebtedness that may be secured may decrease to zero from time to time or may
increase from time to time, the aggregate amount of outstanding Debt so secured at any one time shall not exceed the sum of the Loan Amount multiplied by two (2), plus interest and disbursements made for the payment of taxes, levies or insurance on the Property with interest on such disbursements. It is understood and agreed that this future advance provision shall not be construed to obligate Lender to make any such additional loans or advances. It is further agreed that any additional note or notes executed and delivered under this future advance provision shall be included in the words “Note” or “Debt” wherever either appears in the context of this Security Instrument. Borrower, for itself and its successors in title and its successors and permitted assigns, hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any rights granted under Section 697.04 of the Florida Statutes, or otherwise, to limit the amount of indebtedness that may be secured by this Security Instrument at any time during the term of this Security Instrument. Borrower further covenants not to file for record any notice limiting the maximum principal amount that may be secured by this Security Instrument and agrees that any such notice, if filed, shall be null and void; and except as hereinafter provided, of no effect. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing covenant, Borrower or its successor in title files for record any notice limiting the maximum principal amount that may be secured by this Security Instrument in violation of the foregoing covenant, the Debt shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security Instrument, Lender shall comply with the requirements of Section 501.137. Florida Statutes, as applicable, with respect to the payment of Impositions and insurance premiums from the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account so that the maximum tax discount available may be obtained with regard to the Premises and so that insurance coverage on the Property does not lapse.
(c) The assignment of leases and rents contained in this Security Instrument is intended to provide Lender with all the rights and remedies of lenders pursuant to Section 697.07 of the Florida Statutes (hereinafter “Section 697.07”), as may be amended from time to time. However, in no event shall this reference diminish, alter, impair, or affect any other rights and remedies of Lender, including but not limited to, the appointment of a receiver as provided herein, nor shall any provision in this Section diminish, alter, impair or affect any rights or powers of the receiver in law or equity or as set forth herein. In addition, this assignment shall be fully operative without regard to value of the Property or without regard to the adequacy of the Property to serve as security for the obligations owed by Borrower to Lender, and shall be in addition to any rights arising under Section 697.07. Further, except for the notices required hereunder, if any, Borrower waives any notice of default or demand for turnover of rents by Lender, together with any rights under Section 697.07 to apply to a court to deposit the Rents into the registry of the court or such other depository as the court may designate.
Section 18.39. Certain Matters Relating to Property Located in the State of Georgia. With respect to the Property which is located in the State of Georgia, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary:
(a) The terms “mortgage” and “hypothecate” which are contained in the “NOW THEREFORE” paragraph of the first page hereof and in Sections 2.02(q), 2.03, 2.05(b), 2.05(f), 8.01(d), 15.02 and 18.14 hereof shall be deleted.
(b) The terms “Borrower” and “Lender” contained in this Security Instrument shall be deemed to be “Grantor” and “Grantee”, respectively.
(c) The “PROVIDED ALWAYS” paragraph on page 5 hereof shall be deleted in its entirety and the following provisions shall be inserted in its place:
Grantor covenants that Grantor is lawfully seized and possessed of the Premises as aforesaid, has good right to convey the same, and that the same are unencumbered except for the Permitted Encumbrances. Grantor warrants and will forever defend the title to the Premises against the claims of all persons whomsoever, except as to the Permitted Encumbrances.
This Deed is intended to operate and is to be construed as a deed passing the title to the Premises to Lender and is made under those provisions of the existing laws of the State of Georgia relating to deeds to secure debt, and not as a mortgage, and is given to secure the payment of the Note, the final payment on
which is due on Maturity, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the terms of the Note, together with any and all renewals, modifications, consolidations and extensions of the indebtedness evidenced thereby, together with the Debt, and together with
any and all additional advances made by Lender to protect or preserve the Property or the security interests created hereby on the Property, or for taxes, assessments or insurance premiums as hereinafter provided or for the performance of any of Grantor’s obligations hereunder or for any other purpose provided herein (whether or not the original Grantor remains the owner of the Property at the time of such advances).
Should the Debt be paid according to the tenor and effect thereof when the same become due and payable, and should Grantor perform all covenants contained in this Deed in a timely manner, then Grantee shall cancel and surrender this Deed of record.
(d) The definition of “Security Instrument” in Section 1.01 hereof shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall be inserted in its place:
“Security Instrument” means this Deed to Secure Debt, Security Instrument and Assignment of Rents as originally executed or as it may hereafter from time to time be supplemented, amended, modified or extended by one or more indentures supplemental hereto.
(e) The phrase “first mortgage” found in Section 2.06 hereof shall be deleted and the phrase “first deed to secure debt” shall be inserted in its place.
(f) Subsection 13.02(a)(vi) shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall be inserted in its place:
(vi) sell the Property or any part of the Property at one or more public sale or sales before the door of the courthouse of the county in which the Property or any part of the Property is situated, to the highest bidder for cash, in order to pay the Debt, and all expenses of sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable attorney’s fees, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale once a week for four (4) weeks immediately preceding such sale (but without regard to the number of days) in a newspaper in which Sheriff’s sales are advertised in said county. At any such public sale, Grantee may execute and deliver to the purchaser a conveyance of the Premises or any part of the Premises in fee simple, with full warranties of title and, to this end, Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Grantee the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest Grantor of all right, title and equity that Grantor may have in and to the Premises and to vest the same in the purchaser of purchasers at such sale or sales, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Grantor. The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise, are granted as cumulative of the other remedies provided hereby or by law for the collection of the Debt, and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof, but may be exercised until full payment of all of the Debt. In the event of any sale under this Security Instrument by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceedings or otherwise, the Premises may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect, and if Grantee so elects, Grantee may sell the personal property covered by this Security Instrument at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code, and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish nor exhaust such powers, until the entire Property are sold or the Debt is paid in full.
(g) As this instrument is a deed passing legal title pursuant to the laws of the State of Georgia, and is not a mortgage, whenever reference herein is made to the “lien of this Security Instrument”, or words of similar import, such words shall be construed as meaning the security title and interest created and conveyed by this Deed.
(h) Whenever reference is made herein to “reasonable attorney’s fees” or similar words, such reference shall mean attorney’s fees computed based upon the attorney’s normal hourly rates and the amount of time expended, and not the statutory attorney’s fees provided by Official Code of Georgia Annotated § 13-1-11.
(i) GRANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE FOLLOWING: (A) ANY RIGHT GRANTOR MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA OR THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO NOTICE OR TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY PROVIDED TO GRANTEE BY THIS “SECURITY INSTRUMENT” AND GRANTOR WAIVES GRANTOR’S RIGHTS, IF ANY, TO SET ASIDE OR INVALIDATE ANY SALE UNDER POWER DULY CONSUMMATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT ON THE GROUND (IF SUCH BE THE CASE) THAT THE SALE WAS CONSUMMATED WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR JUDICIAL HEARING OR BOTH. ALL WAIVERS BY GRANTOR HEREIN HAVE BEEN MADE VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY AND KNOWINGLY BY GRANTOR, AFTER GRANTOR HAS BEEN AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE INFORMED BY COUNSEL OF GRANTOR’S CHOICE AS TO POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE RIGHTS AND THE EFFECT OF SAID WAIVERS. GRANTOR’S EXECUTION OF THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE MAKING OF SUCH WAIVERS AND THAT SUCH WAIVERS HAVE BEEN VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY AND KNOWINGLY MADE.
(j) The Maturity Date is the Payment Date occurring in April, 2017.
