affected in any manner, Mortgagor, at Mortgagor's expense, shall take all
necessary and proper steps for the defense of said title or interest,
including the employment of counsel approved by Mortgagee, the prosecution
or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of claims made
against said title or interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the

steps, with respect thereto as Mortgagee shall deem necessary or proper and
any and all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection
therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate (as
defined in the Note) from the date incurred by Mortgagee until actually

securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.
1.3 PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. Mortgagor shall pay when due the
principal of and the interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

observed, performed or discharged by Mortgagor set forth in the Loan
Documents in accordance with their terms. Further, Mortgagor shall
promptly and strictly perform and comply with all covenants, conditions,
obligations and prohibitions required of Mortgagor in connection with any
other document or instrument affecting title to the Property, or any part
thereof, regardless of whether such document or instrument is superior or
subordinate to this Mortgage.
1.4 INSURANCE. Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagor's expense, maintain
in force and effect on the Property at all times while this Mortgage
continues in effect the following insurance:
(a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Property by fire,
windstorm, tornado and hail and against loss and damage by such other,
further and additional risks as may be now or hereafter embraced by an
"all-risk" or "special form" type of insurance policy. The amount of such
insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full
replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements (as established by
an MAI appraisal), without reduction for depreciation. The determination
of the replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to comply with
the requirements of the insurer issuing such coverage or, at Mortgagee's
election, by reference to such indices, appraisals or information as
Mortgagee determines in its reasonable discretion in order to reflect
increased value due to inflation. Absent such annual adjustment, each
policy shall contain inflation guard coverage insuring that the policy
limit will be increased over time to reflect the effect of inflation. Full
replacement cost, as used herein, means, with respect to the Improvements,
the cost of replacing the Improvements without regard to deduction for
depreciation, exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and
footings below the lowest basement floor. Mortgagor shall also maintain
insurance against loss or damage to furniture, furnishing, fixtures,
equipment and other items (whether personalty or fixtures) included in the
Property and owned by Mortgagor from time to time to the extent applicable.
Each policy shall contain a replacement cost endorsement and either an
agreed amount endorsement (to avoid the operation of any co-insurance
provisions) or a waiver of any co-insurance provisions, all subject to
Mortgagee's approval. The maximum deductible shall be $10,000.00.
(b) Commercial General Liability Insurance against claims for
personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage occurring on, in
or about the Real Estate or the Improvements in amounts not less than
$1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate plus
umbrella coverage in an amount not less than $2,000,000. Mortgagee hereby
retains the right to periodically review the amount of said liability
insurance being maintained by Mortgagor and to require an increase in the
amount of said liability insurance should Mortgagee deem an increase to be
reasonably prudent under then existing circumstances.
(c) Boiler and machinery insurance is required if steam boilers
or other pressure-fired vessels are in operation at the Property. Minimum
liability coverage per accident must equal the greater of the replacement
cost (insurable value) of the Improvements housing such boiler or pressure-
fired machinery or $2,000,000.00. If one or more large HVAC units is in
operation at the Property, "Systems Breakdowns" coverage shall be required,
as determined by Mortgagee. Minimum liability coverage per accident must
equal the value of such unit(s).
(d) If the Improvements or any part thereof is situated in an
area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA") as a
special flood hazard area (Zone A or Zone V), flood insurance in an amount
equal to the lesser of: (a) the minimum amount required, under the terms of
coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or
the unpaid balance of the indebtedness secured hereby if replacement cost
coverage is not available for the type of building insured); or (b) the
maximum insurance available under the appropriate National Flood Insurance
Administration program. The maximum deductible shall be $3,000.00 per
building or a higher minimum amount as required by FEMA or other applicable
law.
(e) During the period of any construction, renovation or
alteration of the existing Improvements which exceeds the lesser of 10% of
the principal amount of the Note or $500,000, at Mortgagee's request, a
completed value, "All Risk" Builder's Risk form or "Course of Construction"
insurance policy in nonreporting form, in an amount approved by Mortgagee,
may be required. During the period of any construction of any addition to
the existing Improvements, a completed value, "All Risk" Builder's Risk
form or "Course of Construction" insurance policy in non-reporting form, in
an amount approved by Mortgagee, shall be required.
(f) When required by applicable law, ordinance or other
regulation, Worker's Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance
covering all persons subject to the worker's compensation laws of the state
in which the Property is located.
(g) Business income (loss of rents) insurance in amounts
sufficient to compensate Mortgagor for all Rents and Profits or income
during a period of not less than twelve (12) months. The amount of
coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the Rents and Profits or
income payable during the succeeding twelve (12) month period.
(h) Such other insurance on the Property or on any replacements
or substitutions thereof or additions thereto as may from time to time be
required by Mortgagee against other insurable hazards or casualties which
at the time are commonly insured against in the case of property similarly
situated including, without limitation, Sinkhole, Mine Subsidence,
Earthquake and Environmental insurance, due regard being given to the
height and type of buildings, their construction, location, use and
occupancy.
All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers fully licensed and
authorized to do business in the state within which the Premises is located
and who have and maintain a rating of at least A from Standard & Poor's, or
equivalent, (ii) contain the complete address of the Premises (or a
complete legal description), (iii) be for terms of at least one year, with
premium prepaid, and (vi) be subject to the approval of Mortgagee as to
insurance companies, amounts, content, forms of policies, method by which
premiums are paid and expiration dates, and (v) include a standard, non-
contributory, mortgagee clause naming EXACTLY:

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
(a) as an additional insured under all liability insurance
policies, (b) as the first mortgagee on all property insurance policies and
(c) as the loss payee on all loss of rents or loss of business income
insurance policies.
Mortgagor shall, as of the date hereof, deliver to Mortgagee
evidence that said insurance policies have been prepaid as required above
and certified copies of such insurance policies and original certificates
of insurance signed by an authorized agent of the applicable insurance
companies evidencing such insurance satisfactory to Mortgagee. Mortgagor
shall renew all such insurance and deliver to Mortgagee certificates and
policies evidencing such renewals at least thirty (30) days before any such
insurance shall expire. Mortgagor further agrees that each such insurance
policy: (i) shall provide for at least thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to Mortgagee prior to any policy reduction or cancellation for any
reason other than non-payment of premium and at least ten (10) days' prior
written notice to Mortgagee prior to any cancellation due to non-payment of
premium; (ii) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that
any loss shall be payable to Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of such
policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Mortgagor which might
otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance; (iii) shall waive all
rights of subrogation against Mortgagee; (iv) in the event that the Real
Estate or the Improvements constitutes a legal non-conforming use under
applicable building, zoning or land use laws or ordinances, shall include
an ordinance or law coverage endorsement which will contain Coverage A:
"Loss Due to Operation of Law" (with a minimum liability limit equal to
Replacement Cost With Agreed Value Endorsement), Coverage B: "Demolition
Cost" and Coverage C: "Increased Cost of Construction" coverages; and (v)
may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that, in the event that any
such coverage is provided in the form of a blanket policy, Mortgagor hereby
acknowledges and agrees that failure to pay any portion of the premium
therefor which is not allocable to the Property or by any other action not
relating to the Property which would otherwise permit the issuer thereof to
cancel the coverage thereof, would require the Property to be insured by a
separate, single-property policy. The blanket policy must properly
identify and fully protect the Property as if a separate policy were issued
for 100% of Replacement Cost at the time of loss and otherwise meet all of
Mortgagee's applicable insurance requirements set forth in this Section
1.4. The delivery to Mortgagee of the insurance policies or the
certificates of insurance as provided above shall constitute an assignment
of all proceeds payable under such insurance policies relating to the
Property by Mortgagor to Mortgagee as further security for the indebtedness
secured hereby. In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage, or other
transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of
the indebtedness secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor
in and to all proceeds payable under such policies then in force concerning
the Property shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, or
in Mortgagee or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of
title. Approval of any insurance by Mortgagee shall not be a
representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any
amount of insurance. In the event Mortgagor fails to provide, after five
(5) days notice, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to
Mortgagee the policies of insurance required by this Mortgage or evidence
of their renewal as required herein, Mortgagee may, but shall not be
obligated to, procure such insurance and Mortgagor shall pay all amounts
advanced by Mortgagee therefor, together with interest thereon at the
Default Interest Rate from and after the date advanced by Mortgagee until
actually repaid by Mortgagor, promptly upon demand by Mortgagee. Any
amounts so advanced by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon, shall be
secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing
all or any part of the indebtedness secured hereby. Mortgagee shall not be
responsible for nor incur any liability for the insolvency of the insurer
or other failure of the insurer to perfrm, even though Mortgagee has caused
the insurance to be placed with the insurer after failure of Mortgagor to
furnish such insurance. Mortgagor shall not obtain insurance for the
Property in addition to that required by Mortgagee without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld provided that (i) Mortgagee is a named insured on such insurance,
(ii) Mortgagee receives complete copies of all policies evidencing such
insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable
requirements set forth herein.
1.5 PAYMENT OF TAXES. Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid,
except to the extent provision is actually made therefor pursuant to
Section 1.6 of this Mortgage, all taxes and assessments which are or may
become a lien on the Property or which are assessed against or imposed upon
the Property. Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee with receipts (or if
receipts are not immediately available, with copies of canceled checks
evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after they become
available) showing payment of such taxes and assessments at least fifteen
(15) days prior to the applicable delinquency date therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor may in good faith, by appropriate
proceedings and upon notice to Mortgagee, contest the validity,
applicability or amount of any asserted tax or assessment so long as (a)
such contest is diligently pursued, (b) Mortgagee determines, in its
subjective opinion, that such contest suspends the obligation to pay the
tax and that nonpayment of such tax or assessment will not result in the
sale, loss, forfeiture or diminution of the Property or any part thereof or
any interest of Mortgagee therein, and (c) prior to the earlier of the
commencement of such contest or the delinquency date of the asserted tax or
assessment, Mortgagor deposits in the Impound Account (as hereinafter
defined) an amount determined by Mortgagee to be adequate to cover the
payment of such tax or assessment and a reasonable additional sum to cover
possible interest, costs and penalties; provided, however, that Mortgagor
shall promptly cause to be paid any amount adjudged by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be due, with all interest, costs and penalties thereon,
promptly after such judgment becomes final; and provided, further, that in
any event each such contest shall be concluded, the taxes, assessments,
interest, costs and penalties shall be paid prior to the date any writ or
order is issued under which the Property may be sold, lost or forfeited.
1.6 TAX AND INSURANCE IMPOUND ACCOUNT. Mortgagor shall establish
and maintain at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect an
impound account (the "Impound Account") with Mortgagee for payment of real
estate taxes and assessments and insurance on the Property and as
additional security for the indebtedness secured hereby. Simultaneously
with the execution hereof, Mortgagor shall deposit in the Impound Account
an amount determined by Mortgagee to be necessary to ensure that there will
be on deposit with Mortgagee an amount which, when added to the monthly
payments subsequently required to be deposited with Mortgagee hereunder on
account of real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, will
result in there being on deposit with Mortgagee in the Impound Account an
amount sufficient to pay the next due installment of real estate taxes and
assessment on the Property at least one (1) month prior to the due date
thereof and the next due annual insurance premiums with respect to the
Property at least one (1) month prior to the due date thereof. Commencing
on the first monthly payment date under the Note and continuing thereafter
on each monthly payment date under the Note, Mortgagor shall pay to
Mortgagee, concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due
under the Note and until the Note and all other indebtedness secured hereby
is fully paid and performed, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth
(1/12) of the amount of the annual real estate taxes and assessments that
will next become due and payable on the Property, plus one-twelfth (1/12)
of the amount of the annual premiums that will next become due and payable
on insurance policies which Mortgagor is required to maintain hereunder,
each as estimated and determined by Mortgagee. So long as no Event of
Default (as hereinafter defined), or event which with the passage of time,
the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default (a
"Default") hereunder or under the other Loan Documents has occurred and is
continuing, all sums in the Impound Account shall e held by Mortgagee in
the Impound Account to pay said taxes, assessments and insurance premiums
before the same become delinquent. Mortgagor shall be responsible for
ensuring the receipt by Mortgagee, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and
statements for all taxes, assessments and insurance premiums to be paid
from the Impound Account, and so long as no Default or Event of Default
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing,
Mortgagee shall pay the governmental authority or other party entitled
thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the
Impound Account. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Mortgagee
shall be entitled to rely on any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from
the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any
inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate and without
any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability
of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or
claim thereof. The Impound Account shall not, unless otherwise explicitly
required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds,
but, at Mortgagee's option and in Mortgagee's discretion, may either be
held in a separate account or be commingled by Mortgagee with the general
funds of Mortgagee. No interest on the funds contained in the Impound
Account shall be paid by Mortgagee to Mortgagor. The Impound Account is
solely for the protection of Mortgagee and entails no responsibility on
Mortgagee's part beyond the payment of taxes, assessments and insurance
premiums following receipt of bills, invoices or statements therefor in
accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for
the sums actually received. Upon assignment of this Mortgage by Mortgagee,
any funds in the Impound Account shall be turned over to the assignee and
any responsibility of Mortgagee, as assignor, wih respect thereto shall
terminate. If the total funds in the Impound Account shall exceed the
amount of payments actually applied by Mortgagee for the purposes of the
Impound Account, such excess may be credited by Mortgagee on subsequent
payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Mortgagee, refunded to
Mortgagor. If, however, the Impound Account shall not contain sufficient
funds to pay the sums required when the same shall become due and payable,
Mortgagor shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice
thereof, deposit with Mortgagee the full amount of any such deficiency. If
the Mortgagor shall fail to deposit with Mortgagee the full amount of such
deficiency as provided above, Mortgagee shall have the option, but not the
obligation, to make such deposit and all amounts so deposited by Mortgagee,
together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date
incurred by Mortgagee until actually paid by Mortgagor, shall be
immediately paid by Mortgagor on demand and shall be secured by this
Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of
the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. If there is an Event of Default
under this Mortgage, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, apply at
any time the balance then remaining in the Impound Account against the
indebtedness secured hereby in whatever order Mortgagee shall subjectively
determine. No such application of the Impound Account shall be deemed to
cure any Default or Event of Default hereunder. Upon full payment of the
indebtedness secured hereby in accordance with its terms or at such
earlier time as Mortgagee may elect, the balance of the Impound Account
then in Mortgagee's possession shall be paid over to Mortgagor and no other
party shall have any right or claim thereto.
1.7 PAYMENT RESERVE.
(a) Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Mortgagor has
established with Mortgagee a reserve in the amount equal to [two (2)
regular monthly installments of principal, interest and all required
deposits or impounds] as calculated by Mortgagee (the "Payment Reserve").
Mortgagor understands and agrees that, notwithstanding the establishment of
the Payment Reserve as herein required, all of the proceeds of the Note
have been, and shall be considered, fully disbursed and shall bear interest
and be payable on the terms provided therein. No interest on funds
contained in the Payment Reserve shall be paid by Mortgagee to Mortgagor.
(b) For so long as no Event of Default has occurred hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents, Mortgagee shall on the first two (2)
monthly Payment Dates (as defined in the Note) under the Note, advance from
the Payment Reserve to itself the amount of the monthly installment due and
payable by Mortgagor under the Note on such monthly Payment Date and shall
also advance from the Payment Reserve into the Impound Account the amount
of any deposit for taxes and insurance premiums and into the Replacement
Reserve (as hereinafter defined) the amount of any deposit for Repairs (as
hereinafter defined) and into any other reserve account the amount of any
deposit in accordance with the terms of any other Loan Document required to
be paid by Mortgagor concurrently with each such monthly installment
pursuant to the terms hereof. Provided no Default or Event of Default has
occurred after the final disbursement from the Payment Reserve, any amounts
then remaining in the Payment Reserve shall be paid to Mortgagor. Nothing
contained herein, including, without limitation, the existence of the
Payment Reserve, shall release Mortgagor of any obligation to make payments
under the Note, this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents strictly in
accordance with the terms hereof or thereof and, in this regard, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, should the amounts contained in
the Payment Reserve not be sufficient to pay in full the monthly
installments and the Impound Account, Replacement Reserve and any other
applicable reserve account deposits referenced above in this subparagraph,
Mortgagor shall be responsible for paying such deficiency on the Payment
Date of any such monthly installment.
1.8 REPLACEMENT RESERVE; SECURITY INTEREST RESERVES.
(a) As additional security for the indebtedness secured hereby,
Mortgagor shall establish and maintain at all times while this Mortgage
continues in effect a repair reserve (the "Replacement Reserve") with
Mortgagee for payment of certain non-recurring types of costs and expenses
incurred by Mortgagor for interior and exterior work to the Property,
including without limitation, performance of work to the roofs, chimneys,
gutters, downspouts, paving, curbs, driveways, ramps, balconies, porches,
patios, exterior walls, carpets, exterior doors and doorways, windows,
elevators and mechanical and HVAC equipment (collectively, the "Repairs")
provided such costs and expenses are incurred for repairs (i) not incurred
for ordinary wear and tear at the Property and (ii) categorized under
generally accepted accounting principles as a capital expense and not as an
operating expense. Commencing on the first Payment Date under the Note and
continuing thereafter on each monthly Payment Date under the Note, the
Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, concurrently with and in addition to the
monthly payment due under the Note and until the Note and all other
indebtedness secured hereby is fully paid and performed, a deposit to the
Replacement Reserve in an amount equal to $4,433.33 per month. So long as
no Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
has occurred and is continuing, all sums in the Replacement Reserve shall
be held by Mortgagee in the Replacement Reserve to pay the costs and
expenses of Repairs. So long as no Default or Event of Default hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee
shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the
Replacement Reserve, disburse to Mortgagor the amount incurred and paid by
Mortgagor in performing such Repairs within ten (10) days following: (a)
the receipt by Mortgagee of a written request from Mortgagor for
disbursement from the Replacement Reserve and a certification by Mortgagor
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B that the applicable item of Repair
has been completed, (b) the delivery to Mortgagee of paid invoices,
receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee verifying the cost and
payment of performing the Repairs; (c) for disursement requests in excess
of $10,000.00, the delivery to Mortgagee of affidavits, lien waivers or
other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee showing that all
materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or
could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have
furnished material or labor to the Property have been paid all amounts due
for labor and materials furnished to the Property; (d) for disbursement
requests in excess of $10,000.00, delivery to Mortgagee of a certification
from an inspecting architect or other third party acceptable to Mortgagee
describing the completed Repairs and verifying the completion of the
Repairs and the value of the completion of the Repairs and the value of the
completed Repairs; (e) for disbursement requests in excess of $10,000,00,
delivery to Mortgagee of a new certificate of occupancy for the portion of
the Improvements covered by such Repairs, if said new certificate of
occupancy is required by law, or a certification by Mortgagor that no new
certificate of occupancy is required; and (f) the receipt by Mortgagee of
an administrative fee in the amount of $150.00. Mortgagee shall not be
required to make advances from the Replacement Reserve more frequently than
once in any ninety (90) day period. In making any payment from the
Replacement Reserve, Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely on such request
from Mortgagor without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or
contestability of any such amount. Mortgagee may, at Mortgagor's expense,
make or cause to be made during the term of this Mortgage an annual
inspection at the Property to determine the need, as determined by
Mortgagee in its reasonable judgment, for further Repairs of the Property
in order to maintain the Property in good condition and repair in
accordance with the second sentence of Section 1.16 hereof. In the event
that such inspection reveals that further Repairs of the Property are so
required, Mortgagee shall provide Mortgagor with a written description of
the equired Repairs and Mortgagor shall complete such Repairs to the
reasonable satisfaction of Mortgagee within ninety (90) days after the
receipt of such description from Mortgagee, or such later date as may be
approved by Mortgagee in its sole discretion. The Replacement Reserve
shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or
be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Mortgagee's option and in
Mortgagee's discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be
commingled by Mortgagee with the general funds of Mortgagee. Interest on
the funds contained in the Replacement Reserve shall be credited to
Mortgagor as provided in Section 4.31 hereof. The Replacement Reserve is
solely for the protection of Mortgagee and entails no responsibility on
Mortgagee's part beyond the payment of the costs and expenses described in
this Section in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of
due credit for the sums actually received. In the event that the amounts
on deposit or available in the Replacement Reserve are inadequate to pay
the cost of the Repairs, Mortgagor shall pay the amount of such deficiency.
Upon assignment of this Mortgage by Mortgagee, any funds in the Replacement
Reserve shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of
Mortgagee, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If there is
an Event of Default under this Mortgage, Mortgagee may, but shall not be
obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in the
Replacement Reserve against the indebtedness secured hereby in whatever
order Mortgagee shall subjectively determine. No such application of the
Replacement Reserve shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default
hereunder. Upon full payment of the indebtedness secured hereby in
accordance with its terms or at such earlier time as Mortgagee may elect,
the balance of the Replacement Reserve then in Mortgagee's possession shall
be paid over to Mortgagor and no other party shall have any right or claim
thereto.
(b) As additional security for the payment and performance by
Mortgagor of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Note
and the other Loan Documents, Mortgagor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably assigns, conveys, pledges, mortgages, transfers, delivers,
deposits, sets over and confirms unto Mortgagee, and hereby grants to
Mortgagee a security interest in, (i) the Impound Account, the Payment
Reserve, the Repair and Remediation Reserve, the Replacement Reserve and
any other reserve or escrow account established pursuant to the terms
hereof or of any other Loan Document (collectively, the "Reserves"), (ii)
the accounts into which the Reserves have been deposited, (iii) all
insurance on said accounts, (iv) all accounts, contract rights and general
intangibles or other rights and interests pertaining thereto, (v) all sums
now or hereafter therein or represented thereby, (vi) all replacements,
substitutions or proceeds thereof, (vii) all instruments and documents now
or hereafter evidencing the Reserves or such accounts, (viii) all powers,
options, rights, privileges and immunities pertaining to the Reserves
(including the right to make withdrawals therefrom), and (ix) all proceeds
of the foregoing. Mortgagor hereby authorizes and consents to the account
into which the Reserves have been deposited being held in Mortgagee's name
or the name of any entity servicing the Note for Mortgagee and hereby
acknowledges and agrees, that Mortgagee, or at Mortgagee's election, such
servicing agent, shall have exclusive control over said account. Notice of
the assignment and security interest granted to Mortgagee herein may be
delivered by Mortgagee at any time to the financial institution wherein the
Reserves have been established, and Mortgagee, or such servicing entity,
shall have possession of all passbooks or other evidences of such accounts.
Mortgagor hereby assumes all risk of loss with respect to amounts on
deposit in the Reserves as long such Reserves are deposited into "Permitted
Investments" as described in Exhibit D annexed hereto. Mortgagor hereby
knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally stipulates, acknowledges and
agrees that the advancement of the funds from the Reserves as set forth
herein is at Mortgagor's direction and is not the exercise by Mortgagee of
any right of set-off or other remedy upon a Default or an Event of Default.
Mortgagor hereby waives all right to withdraw funds from the Reserves. If
an Event of Default shall occur hereunder or under any other of the Loan
Documents, then Mortgagee may, without notice or demand on Mortgagor, at
its option: (A) withdraw any or all of the funds (including, without
limitation, interest) then remaining in the Reserves and apply the same,
after deducting all costs and expenses of safekeeping, collection and
delivery (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, costs and
expenses) to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any other
obligations of Mortgagor under the other Loan Documents in such manner or
as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, and the excess,
if any, shall be paid to Mortgagor, (B) exercise any and all rights and
remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code,
and/or (C) exercise any other remedies available at law or in equity. No
such use or application of the funds contained in the Reserves shall be
deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents.
1.9 CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee
prompt written notice of the occurrence of any casualty affecting, or the
institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation
of, the Property or any portion thereof. All insurance proceeds on the
Property, and all causes of action, claims, compensation, awards and
recoveries for any damage, condemnation or taking of all or any part of the
Property or for any damage or injury to it for any loss or diminution in
value of the Property, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to
Mortgagee. Mortgagee may participate in any suits or proceedings relating
to any such proceeds, causes of action, claims, compensation, awards or
recoveries and Mortgagee is hereby authorized, in its own name or in
Mortgagor's name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any
condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any
claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and Mortgagor shall from
time to time deliver to Mortgagee any instruments required to permit such
participation; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Mortgagee shall not have
the right to participate in the adjustment of any loss which is not in
excess of the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding
principal balance of the Note and (ii) $500,000.00. Mortgagee shall apply
any sums received by it under this Section first to the payment of all of
its costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees and
disbursements) incurred in obtaining those sums, and then, as follows:
(a) In the event that less than sixty percent (60%) of the
Improvements located on the Real Estate have been taken or destroyed, then
if:
(1) no Default or Event of Default is then continuing hereunder
or under any of the other Loan Documents, and
(2) the Property can, in Mortgagee's reasonable judgment, with
diligent restoration or repair, be returned to a condition at least equal
to the condition thereof that existed prior to the casualty or partial
taking causing the loss or damage within the earlier to occur of (i) six
(6) months after the receipt of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards
by either Mortgagor of Mortgagee and (ii) sixty (60) days prior to the
stated maturity date of the Note, and
(3) all necessary governmental approvals can be obtained to allow
the rebuilding and reoccupancy of the Property as described in Section
1.9(a)(2) above, and
(4) there are sufficient sums available (through insurance
proceeds or condemnation awards and contributions by Mortgagor, the full
amount of which shall at Mortgagee's option have been deposited with
Mortgagee) for such restoration or repair (including, without limitation,
for any costs and expenses of Mortgagee to be incurred in administering
said restoration or repair) and for payment of principal and interest to
become due and payable under the Note during such restoration or repair,
and
(5) the economic feasibility of the Improvements after such
restoration or repair will be such that income from their operation is
reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to pay operating expenses of the
Property and debt service on the indebtedness secured hereby in full with
the same coverage ratio considered by Mortgagee in its determination to
make the loan secured hereby including an assessment of the impact of the
termination of any Leases due to such casualty or condemnation, and
(6) in the event that the insurance proceeds or condemnation
awards received as a result of such casualty or partial taking exceed the
lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance
of the Note and (ii) $150,000, Mortgagor shall have delivered to Mortgagee,
at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense, an appraisal report in form and
substance satisfactory to Mortgagee appraising the value of the Property as
proposed to be restored or repaired to be not less than the appraised value
of the Property considered by Mortgagee in its determination to make the
loan secured hereby, and
(7) Mortgagor so elects by written notice delivered to Mortgagee
within five (5) days after settlement of the aforesaid insurance or
condemnation claim, then, Mortgagee shall, solely for the purposes of such
restoration or repair, advance so much of the remainder of such sums as may
be required for such restoration or repair, and any funds deposited by
Mortgagor therefor, to Mortgagor in the manner and upon such terms and
conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender,
including, but not limited to, the prior approval by Mortgagee of plans and
specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the
furnishing to Mortgagee of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts
and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors in form and substance
satisfactory to Mortgagee in its discretion, with any remainder being
applied by Mortgagee for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby in
whatever order Mortgagee directs in its absolute discretion.
(8) In all other cases, namely, in the event that sixty percent
(60%) or more of the Improvements located on the Real Estate have been
taken or destroyed or Mortgagor does not elect to restore or repair the
Property pursuant to clause (a) above, or otherwise fails to meet the
requirements of clause (a) above, then in any of such events, Mortgagee
shall elect, in Mortgagee's absolute discretion and without regard to the
adequacy of Mortgagee's security, to do either of the following: (1)
accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any and all
indebtedness secured hereby to be immediately due and payable and apply the
remainder of such sums received pursuant to this Section to the payment of
the indebtedness secured hereby in whatever order Mortgagee directs in its
absolute discretion, with any remainder being paid to Mortgagor, or (2)
notwithstanding that Mortgagor may have elected not to restore or repair
the Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.9(a)(7) above, require
Mortgagor to restore or repair the Property, to the extent that proceeds
are received by Mortgagor, in the manner and upon such terms and conditions
as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, including,
but not limited to the deposit by Mortgagor with Mortgagee, within thirty
(30) days after demand therefor, of any deficiency necessary in order to
assure the availability of sufficient funds to pay for such restoration or
repair, including Mortgagee's costs and expenses to be incurred in
connection therewith, the prior approval by Mortgagee of plans and
specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the
furnishing to Mortgagee of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts
and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors in form and substance
satisfactory to Mortgagee in its discretion, and apply the remainder of
such sums toward such restoration and repair, with any balance thereafter
remaining being applied by Mortgagee for payment of the indebtedness
secured hereby in whatever order Mrtgagee directs in its absolute
discretion.
Any reduction in the indebtedness secured hereby resulting from Mortgagee's
application of any sums received by it hereunder shall take effect only
when Mortgagee actually receives such sums and elects to apply such sums to
the indebtedness secured hereby and, in any event, the unpaid portion of
the indebtedness secured hereby shall remain in full force and effect and
Mortgagor shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Partial payments
received by Mortgagee, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be
applied to the unpaid principal balance evidenced hereby and the remaining
principal balance will be recast to adjust the fixed monthly installments
required to be paid pursuant to Section 1.02 of the Note over the remaining
amortization period. If Mortgagor elects or Mortgagee directs Mortgagor to
restore or repair the Property after the occurrence of a casualty or
partial taking of the Property as provided above, Mortgagor shall promptly
and diligently, at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense and regardless of
whether the insurance proceeds or condemnation award, as appropriate, shall
be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace and rebuild the
Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character
immediately prior to such casualty or partial taking in accordance with the
foregoing provisions and Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee all costs and
expenses of Mortgagee incurred in administering said rebuilding,
restoration or repair, provided the Mortgagee makes such proceeds or award
available for such purpose. Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver from
time to time such further instruments as may be requested by Mortgagee to
confirm the foregoing assignment to Mortgagee of any award, damage,
insurance proceeds, payment or other compensation. Mortgagee is hereby
irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor
(which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any indebtedness
secured hereby is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest,
shal survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Mortgagor and
shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Mortgagor
subsequent to the date hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to
the terms of this section, to settle for, collect and receive any such
awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from
the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any
proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittances therefor.
1.10 MECHANICS' LIENS. Mortgagor shall pay when due all claims
and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work
performed or materials delivered for the Real Estate or Improvements;
provided, however, that, Mortgagor shall have the right to contest in good
faith any such claim or demand, so long as it does so diligently, by
appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Mortgagee and provided
that neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger
of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result of such proceeding or contest. In
the event Mortgagor shall contest any such claim or demand, Mortgagor shall
promptly notify Mortgagee of such contest and thereafter shall, upon
Mortgagee's request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other
security satisfactory to Mortgagee to protect Mortgagee's interest and
security should the contest be unsuccessful. If Mortgagor shall fail to
immediately discharge or provide security against any such claim or demand
as aforesaid, Mortgagee may do so and any and all expenses incurred by
Mortgagee, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from
the date incurred by Mortgagee until actually paid by Mortgagor, shall be
immediately paid by Mortgagor on demand and shall be secured by this
Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of
the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.
1.11 RENTS AND PROFITS. As additional and collateral security
for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby and cumulative of any
and all rights and remedies herein provided for, Mortgagor hereby
absolutely and presently assigns to Mortgagee all existing and future Rents
and Profits. Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee the sole, exclusive and
immediate right, without taking possession of the Property, to demand,
collect (by suit or otherwise), receive and give valid and sufficient
receipts for any and all of said Rents and Profits, for which purpose
Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint Mortgagee
its attorney-in-fact with full power to appoint substitutes or a trustee to
accomplish such purpose (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so
long as any indebtedness secured hereby is outstanding, shall be deemed to
be coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution of Mortgagor and shall not be affected by any disability or
incapacity suffered by Mortgagor subsequent to the date hereof). Mortgagee
shall be without liability for any loss which may arise from a failure or
inability to collect Rents and Profits, proceeds or other payments.
However, until the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Mortgage,
Mortgagor shall have a license to collect and receive the Rents and Profits
when due and prepayments thereof for not more than one month prior to due
date thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder,
Mortgagor's license shall automatically terminate without notice to
Mortgagor and Mortgagee may thereafter, without taking possession of the
Property, collect the Rents and Profits itself or by an agent or receiver.
From and after the termination of such license, Mortgagor shall be the
agent of Mortgagee in collection of the Rents and Profits and all of the
Rents and Profits so collected by Mortgagor shall be held in trust by
Mortgagor for the sole and exclusive benefit of Mortgagee and Mortgagor
shall, within one (1) business day after receipt o any Rents and Profits,
pay the same to Mortgagee to be applied by Mortgagee as hereinafter set
forth. Neither the demand for or collection of Rents and Profits by
Mortgagee shall constitute any assumption by Mortgagee of any obligations
under any agreement relating thereto. Mortgagee is obligated to account
only for such Rents and Profits as are actually collected or received by
Mortgagee. Mortgagor irrevocably agrees and consents that the respective
payors of the Rents and Profits shall, upon demand and notice from
Mortgagee of an Event of Default hereunder, pay said Rents and Profits to
Mortgagee without liability to determine the actual existence of any Event
of Default claimed by Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby waives any right, claim
or demand which Mortgagor may now or hereafter have against any such payor
by reason of such payment of Rents and Profits to Mortgagee, and any such
payment shall discharge such payor's obligation to make such payment to
Mortgagor. All Rents and Profits collected or received by Mortgagee shall
be applied against all expenses of collection, including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees, against costs of operation and management of
the Property and against the indebtedness secured hereby, in whatever order
or priority as to any of the items so mentioned as Mortgagee directs in its
sole subjective discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its
security. Neither the exercise by Mortgagee of any rights under this
Section nor the application of any Rents and Profits to the secured
indebtedness shall cure or be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default
hereunder. The assignment of Rents and Profits hereinabove granted shall
continue in full force and effect during any period of foreclosure or
redemption with respect to the Property. Mortgagor has executed an
Assignment of Leases and Rents dated of even date herewith (the
"Assignment") in favor of Mortgagee covering all of the right, title and
interest of Mortgagor, as landlord, lessor or licensor, in and to any
Leases. All rghts and remedies granted to Mortgagee under the Assignment
shall be in addition to and cumulative of all rights and remedies granted
to Mortgagee hereunder.
1.12 LEASES AND LICENSES.
(a) Prior to execution of any Leases of space in the Improvements
after the date hereof, Mortgagor shall submit to Mortgagee, for Mortgagee's
prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, a copy
of the form Lease Mortgagor plans to use in leasing space in the
Improvements. All Leases of space in the Improvements shall be on terms
consistent with the terms for similar leases in the market area of the Real
Estate, shall provide for free rent only if the same is consistent with
prevailing market conditions and shall provide for market rents then
prevailing in the market area of the Real Estate. Mortgagor shall also
submit to Mortgagee for Mortgagee's approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, prior to the execution thereof, any proposed Lease
of the Improvements or any portion thereof that differs materially and
adversely from the aforementioned form Lease. Mortgagor shall not execute
any Lease for all or a substantial portion of the Property, except for an
actual occupancy by the Tenant thereunder, and shall at all times promptly
and faithfully perform, or cause to be performed, all of the covenants,
conditions and agreements contained in all Leases with respect to the
Property, now or hereafter existing, on the part of the landlord, lessor or
licensor thereunder to be kept and performed. Mortgagor shall furnish to
Mortgagee, within ten (10) days after a request by Mortgagee to do so, but
in any event by January 1 of each year, a current Rent Roll certified by
Mortgagor as being true and correct containing the names of all Tenants
with respect to the Property, the terms of their respective Leases, the
spaces occupied and the rentals or fees payable thereunder and the amount
of each tenant's security deposit. Upon the request of Mortgagee,
Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee a copy of each such Lease. Mortgagor
shall not do or suffer to be done any act that might result in a default by
the landlord, lessor or licensor under any such Lease or allow the Tenant
thereunder to wihhold payment or rent and, except as otherwise expressly
permitted by the terms of Section 1.12 hereof, shall not further assign any
such Lease or any such rents. Mortgagor, at no cost or expense to
Mortgagee, shall enforce, short of termination, the performance and
observance of each and every condition and covenant of each of the parties
under such Leases. Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent
of Mortgagee, modify any of the Leases, terminate or accept the surrender
of any Leases, waive or release any other party from the performance or
observance of any obligation or condition under such Leases except in the
normal course of business in a manner which is consistent with sound and
customary leasing and management practices for similar properties in the
community in which the Property is located. Mortgagor shall not permit the
prepayment of any rents under any of the Leases for more than one (1) month
prior to the due date thereof.
(b) Each commercial Lease executed after the date hereof
affecting any of the Real Estate or the Improvements must provide, in a
manner approved by Mortgagee, that the Tenant will recognize as its
landlord, lessor or licensor, as applicable, and attorn to any person
succeeding to the interest of Mortgagor upon any foreclosure of this
Mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Each such commercial Lease shall
also provide that, upon request of said successor-in-interest, the Tenant
shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming its
attornment as provided for in this Section; provided, however, that neither
Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest shall be bound by any payment of
rental for more than one (1) month in advance, or any amendment or
modification of said commercial Lease made without the express written
consent of Mortgagee or said successor-in-interest.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this
Mortgage, whether before or after the whole principal sum secured hereby is
declared to be immediately due or whether before or after the institution
of legal proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage, forthwith, upon demand of
Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall surrender to Mortgagee and Mortgagee shall be
entitled to take actual possession of the Property or any part thereof
personally, or by its agent or attorneys. In such event, Mortgagee shall
have, and Mortgagor hereby gives and grants to Mortgagee, the right, power
and authority to make and enter into Leases with respect to the Property or
portions thereof for such rents and for such periods of occupancy and upon
conditions and provisions as Mortgagee may deem desirable in its sole
discretion, and Mortgagor expressly acknowledges and agrees that the term
of any such Lease may extend beyond the date of any foreclosure sale at the
Property; it being the intention of Mortgagor that in such event Mortgagee
shall be deemed to be and shall be the attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor for
the purpose of making and entering into Leases of parts or portions of the
Property for the rents and upon the terms, conditions and provisions deemed
desirable to Mortgagee in its sole discretion and with like effect as if
such Leases had been made by Mortgagor as the owner in fee simple of the
Property free and clear of any conditions or limitations established by
this Mortgage. The power and authority hereby given and granted by
Mortgagor to Mortgagee shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest,
shall not be revocable by Mortgagor so long as any indebtedness secured
hereby is outstanding, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution of Mortgagor and shall not be affected by any disability or
incapacity suffered by Mortgagor subsequent to the date hereof. In
connection with any action taken by Mortgagee pursuant to this Section,
Mortgagee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Mortgagor resulting
from any failure to letthe Property, or any part thereof, or from any other
act or omission of Mortgagee in managing the Property, nor shall Mortgagee
be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability
under any Lease covering the Property or any part thereof or under or by
reason of this instrument or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder.
Mortgagor shall, and does hereby, indemnify Mortgagee for, and hold
Mortgagee harmless from, any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities,
loss or damage which may or might be incurred by Mortgagee under any such
Lease or under this Mortgage or by the exercise of rights or remedies
hereunder and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be
asserted against Mortgagee by reason of any alleged obligations or
undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms,
covenants or agreements contained in any such Lease other than those
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Mortgagee.
Should Mortgagee incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including,
without limitation, costs, expenses and attorneys' fees, together with
interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by
Mortgagee until actually paid by Mortgagor, shall be immediately due and
payable to Mortgagee by Mortgagor on demand and shall be secured hereby and
by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note. Nothing in this Section shall impose
on Mortgagee any duty, obligation or responsibility for the control, care,
management or repair of the Property, or for the carrying out of any of the
terms and conditions of any such Lease nor shall it operate to make
Mortgagee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by
the Tenants or by any other parties or for any dangerous or defective
condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep,
repair or control of the Property. Mortgago hereby assents to, ratifies
and confirms any and all actions of Mortgagee with respect to the Property
taken under this Section.
1.13 Alienation and Further Encumbrances.
(a) Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has relied upon the
principals of Mortgagor and their experience in owning and operating the
Property through a management contract with Merry Land Property Management,
Inc. and properties similar to the Property in connection with the closing
of the loan evidenced by the Note. Accordingly, except as specifically
allowed hereinbelow in this Section and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in SECTION 4.6 hereof, in the event that the Property or
any part thereof or interest therein shall be sold, conveyed, disposed of,
alienated, hypothecated, leased (except to Tenants of space in the
Improvements in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 1.12 hereof),
assigned, pledged, mortgaged, further encumbered or otherwise transferred
or Mortgagor shall be divested of its title to the Property or any interest
therein, in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
without the prior written consent of Mortgagee being first obtained, which
consent may be withheld in Mortgagee's sole discretion, then the same shall
constitute an Event of Default hereunder and Mortgagee shall have the
right, at its option, to declare any or all of the indebtedness secured
hereby, irrespective of the maturity date specified in the Note,
immediately due and payable and to otherwise exercise any of its other
rights and remedies contained in ARTICLE III hereof. If such acceleration
is during any period when a prepayment fee is payable pursuant to the
provisions set forth in the Note, then, in addition to all of the
foregoing, such prepayment fee shall also then be immediately due and
payable to the same end as though Mortgagor were prepaying the entire
indebtedness secured hereby on the date of such acceleration. For the
purposes of this Section: (i) in the event either Mortgagor or any of its
general partners or managing members is a corporation or trust, the sale,
conveyance, transfer or disposition of more than 10% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Mortgagor or any of its general partners or of
the beneficial interest of such trust (or the issuance of new shares of
capital stock in Mortgagor or any of its general partners or managing
members so that immediately after such issuance the total capital stock
then issued and outstanding is more than 110% of the total immediately
prior to such issuance) shall be deemed to be a transfer of an interest in
the Property; and (ii) in the event Mortgagor or any general partner or
managing member of Mortgagor is a limited or general partnership, a joint
venture or a limited liability company, a change in the ownership interests
in any general partner, any joint venturer or any managing member, either
voluntarily, involuntarily or otherwise, or the sale, conveyance, transfer,
disposition, alienation, hypothecation or encumbering of all or any portion
of the interest of any such general partner, joint venturer or managing
member in Mortgagor or such general partner (whether in the form of a
beneficial or partnership interest or in the form of a power of direction,
control or management, or otherwise), shall be deemed to be a transfer of
an interest in the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (i)
limited partnership or non-managing member interests in Mortgagor or in any
general partner or managing member of Mortgagor shall be freely
transferable without the consent of Mortgagee, (ii) any involuntary
transfer caused by the death of Mortgagor or any general partner,
shareholder, joint venturer, or beneficial owner of a trust shall not be an
Event of Default under this Mortgage so long as Mortgagor is reconstituted,
if required, following such death and so long as those persons responsible
for the management of the Property remain unchanged as a result of such
death or any replacement management is approved by Mortgagee and (iii)
gifts for estate planning purposes of any individual's interests in
Mortgagor or in any of Mortgagor's general partners, managing members or
joint venturers to the spouse or any lineal descendant of such individual,
or to a trust for the benefit of any one or more of such individual, spouse
or lineal descendant, shall not be an Event of Default under this Mortgage
so long as Mortgagor is reconstituted, if required, following such gift and
so long as those persons responsible for the management of the Property and
Mortgagor remain unchanged following such gift or any replacement
management is approved by Mortgagee.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section,
Mortgagee shall consent to one or more sales, conveyances or transfers of
the Property in its entirety (hereinafter, "SALE") to any person or entity
provided that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied for
each such Sale:
(1) No Default or Event of Default is then continuing
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents;
(2) Mortgagor gives Mortgagee written notice of the terms of
such prospective Sale not less than sixty (60) days before the date on
which such Sale is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, gives
Mortgagee all such information concerning the proposed transferee of the
Property (hereinafter, "BUYER") as Mortgagee would require in evaluating an
initial extension of credit to a borrower and pays to Mortgagee a non-
refundable application fee in the amount of $5,000.00. Mortgagee shall have
the right to approve or disapprove the proposed Buyer. In determining
whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed Buyer, Mortgagee
shall consider the Buyer's experience and track record in owning and
operating facilities similar to the Property, the Buyer's financial
strength, the Buyer's general business standing and the Buyer's
relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders
and other business entities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, notwithstanding
Mortgagee's agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining
whether to give or withhold such approval, such approval shall be given or
withheld based on what Mortgagee determines to be commercially reasonable
in Mortgagee's commercially reasonable discretion and, if given, may be
given subject to such conditions as Mortgagee may deem appropriate;
(3) Mortgagor pays Mortgagee, concurrently with the closing
of such Sale, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees, incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the Sale, plus an amount
equal to one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding principal balance of
the Note;
(4) The Buyer assumes and agrees to pay the indebtedness
secured hereby subject to the provisions of SECTION 4.27 hereof and, prior
to or concurrently with the closing of such Sale, the Buyer executes,
without any cost or expense to Mortgagee, such documents and agreements as
Mortgagee shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said
assumption and delivers such legal opinions as Mortgagee may require;
(5) A party associated with the Buyer approved by Mortgagee
in its sole discretion assumes the obligations of the current indemnitor
under its guaranty or indemnity agreement and such party associated with
the Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Mortgagee, a new
guaranty or indemnity agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
Mortgagee and delivers such legal opinions as Mortgagee may require;
(6) Mortgagor and the Buyer execute, without any cost or
expense to Mortgagee, new financing statements or financing statement
amendments and any additional documents reasonably requested by Mortgagee;
(7) Mortgagor delivers to Mortgagee, without any cost or
expense to Mortgagee, such endorsements to Mortgagee's title insurance
policy, hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar
materials as Mortgagee may deem necessary at the time of the Sale, all in
form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, including, without
limitation, an endorsement or endorsements to Mortgagee's title insurance
policy insuring the lien of this Mortgage, extending the effective date of
such policy to the date of execution and delivery (or, if later, of
recording) of the assumption agreement referenced above in SUBPARAGRAPH (4)
of this Section, with no additional exceptions added to such policy, and
insuring that fee simple title to the Property is vested in the Buyer;
(8) Mortgagor executes and delivers to Mortgagee, without any
cost or expense to Mortgagee, a release of Mortgagee, its officers,
directors, employees and agents, from all claims and liability relating to
the transactions evidenced by the Loan Documents, through and including the
date of the closing of the Sale, which agreement shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to Mortgagee and shall be binding upon the Buyer;
(9) Subject to the provisions of SECTION 4.27 hereof, such
Sale is not construed so as to relieve Mortgagor of any personal liability
under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or events
occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the
closing of such Sale, and Mortgagor executes, without any cost or expense
to Mortgagee, such documents and agreements as Mortgagee shall reasonably
require to evidence and effectuate the ratification of said personal
liability. Mortgagor shall be released from and relieved of any personal
liability under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or
events occurring or obligations arising after the closing of such Sale
which are not caused by or arising out of any acts or events occurring or
obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such
Sale;
(10) Such Sale is not construed so as to relieve any current
indemnitor of its obligations under any guaranty or indemnity agreement for
any acts or events occurring or obligations arising prior to or
simultaneously with the closing of such Sale, and each such current
indemnitor executes, without any cost or expense to Mortgagee, such
documents and agreements as Mortgagee shall reasonably require to evidence
and effectuate the ratification of each such guaranty and indemnity
agreement. Each such current indemnitor shall be released from and
relieved of any of its obligations under any guaranty or indemnity
agreement executed in connection with the loan secured hereby for any acts
or events occurring or obligations arising after the closing of such Sale
which are not caused by or arising out of any acts or events occurring or
obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such
Sale;
(11) The Buyer shall furnish, if the Buyer is a corporation,
partnership or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing the Buyer's
capacity and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute
the assumption of the indebtedness secured hereby, which papers shall
include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and
formation of the Buyer and of the entities, if any, which are partners of
the Buyer. The Buyer and such constituent partners, members or
shareholders of Buyer (as the case may be), as Mortgagee shall require,

individual recommended by the Mortgagor shall serve as independent director
of the Buyer (if the Buyer is a corporation) or the Buyer's corporate
general partner or as independent member or as manager of Buyer if the
Buyer is a limited liability company. The consent of such independent
party shall be required for, among other things, any merger, consolidation,
dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency of such independent party or of the
Buyer; and
(12) Mortgagor delivers to Mortgagee a written statement from
the applicable rating agency to the effect that the Sale will not result in
a downgrading, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in
effect immediately prior to such Sale for any securities issues in
connection with a Secondary Market Transaction (as hereinafter defined).
1.14 PAYMENT OF UTILITIES, ASSESSMENTS, CHARGES, ETC. Mortgagor
shall pay when due all utility charges which are incurred by Mortgagor or
which may become a charge or lien against any portion of the Property for
gas, electricity, water and sewer services furnished to the Real Estate
and/or the Improvements and all other assessments or charges of a similar
nature, or assessments payable pursuant to any restrictive covenants,
whether public or private, affecting the Real Estate and/or the
Improvements or any portion thereof, whether or not such assessments or
charges are or may become liens thereon.

part of the Real Estate or the Improvements is or becomes a nonconforming
use, Mortgagor shall not cause or permit such use to be discontinued or
abandoned without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Further, without
Mortgagee's prior written consent, Mortgagor shall not file or subject any

If any of the aforementioned materials are not furnished to Mortgagee

contents of any of the foregoing, in addition to any other rights and
remedies of Mortgagee contained herein, Mortgagee shall have the right, but
not the obligation after notice and a 30 day right to cure, to obtain the
same by means of an audit by an independent certified public accountant

Mortgage or in the contents of any of the other Loan Documents; (b)
promptly execute, acknowledge, deliver and record or file such further
instruments (including, without limitation, further mortgages, deeds of
trust, security deeds, security agreements, financing statements,
continuation statements and assignments of rents or leases) and promptly do
such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out
more effectively the purposes of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents
and to subject to the liens and security interests hereof and thereof any

thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals,
additions, substitutions, replacements or appurtenances to the Property;
(c) promptly execute, acknowledge, deliver, procure and record or file any
document or instrument (including specifically any financing statement)

duly acknowledged written statement and estoppel certificate addressed to
such party or parties as directed by Mortgagee and in form and substance
supplied by Mortgagee, setting forth all amounts due under the Note,
stating whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder,
stating whether any offsets or defenses exist against the indebtedness
secured hereby and containing such other matters as Mortgagee may
reasonably require.
(b) Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee and its successors and
assigns may effectuate a Secondary Market Transaction. Mortgagor shall
cooperate in good faith with Mortgagee in effecting any such Secondary
Market Transaction and shall cooperate in good faith to implement all
requirements imposed by any rating agency involved in any Secondary Market
Transaction including, without limitation, all structural or other changes
to the indebtedness secured hereby, modifications to any documents
evidencing or securing the loan; provided, however, that the Mortgagor
shall not be required to modify any documents evidencing or securing the
indebtedness secured hereby which would modify (A) the interest rate
payable under the Note, (B) the stated maturity of the Note, (C) the
amortization of principal of the Note, or (D) any other material economic
term of the indebtedness secured hereby. Mortgagor shall provide such
information, and documents relating to Mortgagor, any guarantor or
indemnitor, the Property and any tenants of the Improvements as Mortgagee
may reasonably request in connection with such Secondary Market
Transaction. Mortgagor shall make available to Mortgagee all information
concerning its business and operations that Mortgagee may reasonably
request. Mortgagee shall be permitted to share all such information with
the investment banking firms, rating agencies, accounting firms, law firms
and other third-party advisory firms involved with the Loan Documents or
the applicable Secondary Market Transaction. It is understood that the
information provided by Mortgagor to Mortgagee may ultimately be
incorporated into the offering documents for the Secondary Market
Transaction and thus various investors may also see some or all of the
information. Mortgagee and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and
professional firms shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied
by, or on behalf of, Mortgagor and Mortgagor indemnifies Mortgagee as to
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in such information 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 or necessary in order to make the statements
in such information, or in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. Mortgagee may publicize the existence of the
indebtedness secured hereby in connection with its marketing for a
Secondary Market Transaction or otherwise as part of its business
development. For purposes hereof, a "Secondary Market Transaction" shall
be (a) any sale of the Mortgage, Note and other Loan Documents to one or
more investors as a whole loan; (b) a participation of the indebtedness
secured hereby to one or more investors, (c) any deposit of the Mortgage,
Note and other Loan Documents with a trust or other entity which may sell
certificates or other instruments to investors evidencing an ownership
interest in the assets of such trust or other entity, or (d) any other sale
or transfer of the indebtedness secured hereby or any interest therein to
one or more investors.
1.20 PAYMENT OF COSTS; REIMBURSEMENT TO MORTGAGEE. Mortgagor
shall pay all costs and expenses of every character incurred in connection
with the closing of the loan evidenced by the Note and secured hereby or
otherwise attributable or chargeable to Mortgagor as the owner of the
Property, including, without limitation, appraisal fees, recording fees,
documentary, stamp, mortgage or intangible taxes, brokerage fees and
commissions, title policy premiums and title search fees, uniform
commercial code/tax lien/litigation search fees, escrow fees and reasonable
attorneys' fees. If Mortgagor defaults in any such payment, which default
is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, Mortgagee may pay
the same and Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee on demand for all such
costs and expenses incurred or paid by Mortgagee, together with such
interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date of
Mortgagee's making such payment until reimbursement thereof by Mortgagor.
Any such sums disbursed by Mortgagee, together with such interest thereon,
shall be additional indebtedness of Mortgagor secured by this Mortgage and
by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note. Further, Mortgagor shall promptly
notify Mortgagee in writing of any litigation or threatened litigation
affecting the Property, or any other demand or claim which, if enforced,
could impair or threaten to impair Mortgagee's security hereunder. Without
limiting or waiving any other rights and remedies of Mortgagee hereunder,
if Mortgagor fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained
in this Mortgage or in any of the other Loan Documents and such failure is
not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, or if any action or
proceeding of any kind (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy,
insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other debtor relief proceeding)
is commenced which might affect Mortgagee's interest in the Property or
Mortgagee's right to enforce its security, then Mortgagee may, at its
ption, with or without notice to Mortgagor, make any appearances, disburse
any sums and take any actions as may be necessary or desirable to protect
or enforce the security of this Mortgage or to remedy the failure of
Mortgagor to perform its covenants and agreements (without, however,
waiving any default of Mortgagor). Mortgagor agrees to pay on demand all
expenses of Mortgagee incurred with respect to the foregoing (including,
but not limited to, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), together
with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date
on which Mortgagee incurs such expenses until reimbursement thereof by
Mortgagor. Any such expenses so incurred by Mortgagee, together with
interest thereon as provided above, shall be additional indebtedness of
Mortgagor secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents
securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. The
necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid shall be
determined by Mortgagee in its discretion. Mortgagee is hereby empowered
to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Property or any part
thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term,
covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Mortgagor or any
person in possession holding under Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section 1.20
shall be exercisable by Mortgagee, and any and all payments made or costs
or expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith shall be secured
hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Mortgagor with
interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, notwithstanding the fact
that such remedies were exercised and such payments made and costs incurred
by Mortgagee after the filing by Mortgagor of a voluntary case or the
filing against Mortgagor of an involuntary case pursuant to or within the
meaning of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, Title 11 U.S.C.,
or after ay similar action pursuant to any other debtor relief law (whether
statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction
whatsoever, now or hereafter, in effect, which may be or become applicable
to Mortgagor, Mortgagee, any guarantor or indemnitor, the secured
indebtedness or any of the Loan Documents. Mortgagor hereby indemnifies
and holds Mortgagee harmless from and against all loss, cost and expenses
with respect to any Event of Default hereof, any liens (i.e., judgments,
mechanics' and materialmen's liens, or otherwise), charges and encumbrances
filed against the Property, and from any claims and demands for damages or
injury, including claims for property damage, personal injury or wrongful
death, arising out of or in connection with any accident or fire or other
casualty on the Real Estate or the Improvements or any nuisance made or
suffered thereon, including, in any case, attorneys' fees, costs and
expenses as aforesaid, whether at pretrial, trial or appellate level, and
such indemnity shall survive payment in full of the indebtedness secured

any expenses, make any appearances or take any actions.
1.21 SECURITY INTEREST. This Mortgage is also intended to
encumber and create a security interest in, and Mortgagor hereby grants to
Mortgagee a security interest in all sums on deposit with Mortgagee

other Section hereof and all fixtures, chattels, accounts, equipment,
inventory, contract rights, general intangibles and other personal property
included within the Property, all renewals, replacements of any of the
aforementioned items, or articles in substitution therefor or in addition
thereto or the proceeds thereof (said property is hereinafter referred to
collectively as the "Collateral"), whether or not the same shall be
attached to the Real Estate or the Improvements in any manner. It is
hereby agreed that to the extent permitted by law, all of the foregoing
property is to be deemed and held to be a part of and affixed to the Real
Estate and the Improvements. The foregoing security interest shall also
cover Mortgagor's leasehold interest in any of the foregoing property which
is leased by Mortgagor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of the
foregoing property shall be owned by Mortgagor and no material leasing or
installment sales or other financing or title retention agreement in
connection therewith shall be permitted without the prior written approval
of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall, from time to time upon the request of
Mortgagee, supply Mortgagee with a current inventory of all of the property
in which Mortgagee is granted a security interest hereunder, in such detail
as Mortgagee may require. Mortgagor shall promptly replace all of the
Collateral subject to the lien or security interest of this Mortgage when
worn or obsolete with Collateral comparable to the worn out or obsolete
Collateral when new and will not, without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee, remove from the Real Estate or the Improvements any of the
Collateral subject to the lien or security interest of this Mortgage except
such as is replaced by an article of equal suitabilit and value as above
provided, owned by Mortgagor free and clear of any lien or security
interest except that created by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents
and except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of Section 1.13 of
this Mortgage. All of the Collateral shall be kept at the location of the
Real Estate except as otherwise required by the terms of the Loan
Documents. Mortgagor shall not use any of the Collateral in violation of
any applicable statute, ordinance or insurance policy.
1.22 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Mortgage constitutes a security
agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral in
which Mortgagee is granted a security interest hereunder, and, cumulative
of all other rights and remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, Mortgagee shall
have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable
Uniform Commercial Code. Mortgagor hereby agrees to execute and deliver on
demand and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Mortgagee the
attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor to execute and deliver and, if appropriate,
to file with the appropriate filing officer or office such security
agreements, financing statements, continuation statements or other
instruments as Mortgagee may request or require in order to impose, perfect
or continue the perfection of the lien or security interest created hereby.
Except with respect to Rents and Profits to the extent specifically
provided herein to the contrary, Mortgagee shall have the right of
possession of all cash, securities, instruments, negotiable instruments,
documents, certificates and any other evidences of cash or other property
or evidences of rights to cash rather than property, which are now or
hereafter a part of the Property and Mortgagor shall promptly deliver the
same to Mortgagee, endorsed to Mortgagee, without further notice from
Mortgagee. Mortgagor agrees to furnish Mortgagee with notice of any change
in the name, identity, organizational structure, residence, or principal
place of business or mailing address of Mortgagor within ten (10) days of
the effective date of any such change. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, Mortgagee shall have the rights and remedies as prescribed in this
Mortgage, or as prescribed by general law, or as prescribed by any
applicable Uniform Commercial Code, all at Mortgagee's election. Any
disposition of the Collateral may be conducted by an employee or agent of
Mortgagee. Any person, including both Mortgagor and Mortgagee, shall be
eligible to purchase any part or all of the Colateral at any such
disposition. Expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or
the like (including, without limitation, Mortgagee's attorneys' fees and
legal expenses), together with interest thereon at the Default Interest
Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee until actually paid by Mortgagor,
shall be paid by Mortgagor on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage
and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note. Mortgagee shall have the right to
enter upon the Real Estate and the Improvements or any real property where
any of the property which is the subject of the security interest granted
herein is located to take possession of, assemble and collect the same or
to render it unusable, or Mortgagor, upon demand of Mortgagee, shall
assemble such property and make it available to Mortgagee at the Real
Estate, a place which is hereby deemed to be reasonably convenient to
Mortgagee and Mortgagor. Mortgagee shall give Mortgagor at least ten (10)
days' prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of such
property or of the time of or after which any private sale or any other
intended disposition thereof is to be made, and if such notice is sent to
Mortgagor, as the same is provided for the mailing of notices herein, it is
hereby deemed that such notice shall be and is reasonable notice to
Mortgagor. No such notice is necessary for any such property which is
perishable, threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market. Any sale made pursuant to the
provisions of this Section shall be deemed to have been a public sale
conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held contemporaneously
with the foreclosure sale as provided in Section 3.1(e) hereof upon giving
the same notice with respect to the sale of the Property hereunder as is
required under said Section 3.1(e). Furthermore, to the extent permitted

(c) Mortgagee may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as
agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by

1.23 EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS OF WAY. Mortgagor shall not grant any
easement or right-of-way with respect to all or any portion of the Real
Estate or the Improvements without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.
The purchaser at any foreclosure sale hereunder may, at its discretion,
disaffirm any easement or right-of-way granted in violation of any of the
provisions of this Mortgage and may take immediate possession of the
Property free from, and despite the terms of, such grant of easement or
right-of-way. If Mortgagee consents to the grant of an easement or
right-of-way, Mortgagee agrees to grant such consent provided that
Mortgagee is paid a standard review fee together with all other expenses,
including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, incurred by Mortgagee in
the review of Mortgagor's request and in the preparation of documents
effecting the subordination.
1.24 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Mortgagor shall at all times comply
with all statutes, ordinances, orders, regulations and other governmental
or quasi-governmental requirements and private covenants now or hereafter
relating to the ownership, construction, use or operation of the Property,
including, but not limited to, those concerning employment and compensation
of persons engaged in operation and maintenance of the Property and any
environmental or ecological requirements, even if such compliance shall
require structural changes to the Property; provided, however, that,
Mortgagor may, upon providing Mortgagee with security satisfactory to
Mortgagee, proceed diligently and in good faith to contest the validity or
applicability of any such statute, ordinance, regulation or requirement so
long as during such contest the Property shall not be subject to any lien,
charge, fine or other liability and shall not be in danger of being
forfeited, lost or closed. Mortgagor shall not use or occupy, or allow the
use or occupancy of, the Property in any manner which violates any Lease of
or any other agreement applicable to the Property or any applicable law,
rule, regulation or order or which constitutes a public or private nuisance
or which makes void, voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium of,
any insurance then in force with respect thereto.
1.25 ADDITIONAL TAXES. In the event of the enactment after this
date of any law of the state where the Property is located or of any other
governmental entity deducting from the value of the Property for the
purpose of taxing any lien or security interest thereon, or imposing upon
Mortgagee the payment of the whole or any part of the taxes or assessments
or charges of liens herein required to be paid by Mortgagor, or changing in
any way the laws relating to the taxation of deeds of trust, mortgages or
security agreements or debts secured by mortgages or security agreements or
the interest of the Mortgagee or secured party in the property covered
thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, so as to adversely
affect this Mortgage or the indebtedness secured hereby or Mortgagee, then,
and in any such event, Mortgagor, upon demand by Mortgagee, shall pay such
taxes, assessments, charges or liens, or reimburse Mortgagee therefor;
provided, however, that if in the opinion of counsel for Mortgagee (a) it
might be unlawful to require Mortgagor to make such payment, or (b) the
making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond
the maximum amount permitted by law, then and in either such event,
Mortgagee may elect, by notice in writing given to Mortgagor, to declare
all of the indebtedness secured hereby to be and become due and payable in
full thirty (30) days from the giving of such notice.
1.26 SECURED INDEBTEDNESS. It is understood and agreed that this
Mortgage shall secure payment of not only the indebtedness evidenced by the
Note but also any and all substitutions, replacements, renewals and
extensions of the Note, any and all indebtedness and obligations arising
pursuant to the terms hereof and any and all indebtedness and obligations
arising pursuant to the terms of any of the other Loan Documents, all of
which indebtedness is equally secured with and has the same priority as any
amounts advanced as of the date hereof. It is agreed that any future
advances made by Mortgagee to or for the benefit of Mortgagor from time to
time under this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents and whether or not
such advances are obligatory or are made at the option of Mortgagee, or
otherwise, made for any purpose, within twenty (20) years from the date
hereof, and all interest accruing thereon, attorneys' fees and court costs,
shall be equally secured by this Mortgage and shall have the same priority
as all amounts, if any, advanced as of the date hereof and shall be subject
to all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage. The total amount of
the indebtedness including future advances, secured hereby may increase or
decrease from time to time, but shall not exceed the sum $15,000,000.00 at
any one time, plus accrued interest thereon and any disbursements made by
Mortgagee in accordance with the Loan Documents.
1.27 MORTGAGOR'S WAIVERS. To the full extent permitted by law,
Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor shall not at any time insist upon, plead,
claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force
providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, moratorium or extension,
or any law now or hereafter in force providing for the reinstatement of the
indebtedness secured hereby prior to any sale of the Property to be made
pursuant to any provisions contained herein or prior to the entering of any
decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction, or any
right under any statute to redeem all or any part of the Property so sold.
Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and Mortgagor's successors and assigns, and for

foreclosure of the liens and security interests hereby created and agrees
that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such liens and security
interests may order the Property sold as an entirety; and (c) waives,
releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all rights and periods of
redemption provided under applicable law. To the full extent permitted by
law, Mortgagor shall not have or assert any right under any statute or rule
of law pertaining to the exemption of homestead or other exemption under
any federal, state or local law now or hereafter in effect, the
administration of estates of ecedents or other matters whatever to defeat,
reduce or affect the right of Mortgagee under the terms of this Mortgage to
a sale of the Property, for the collection of the secured indebtedness
without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of
Mortgagee under the terms of this Mortgage to the payment of the
indebtedness secured hereby out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in
preference to every other claimant whatever. Further, Mortgagor hereby
knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily, with and upon the advice of
competent counsel, waives, releases, relinquishes and forever forgoes all
present and future statutes of limitations as a defense to any action to
enforce the provisions of this Mortgage or to collect any of the
indebtedness secured hereby the fullest extent permitted by law. Mortgagor
covenants and agrees that upon the commencement of a voluntary or
involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall
not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise shall not seek pursuant to 11
U.S.C. section 105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of
1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common
law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or
hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict,
condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Mortgagee to enforce any rights
of Mortgagee against any guarantor or indemnitor of the secured obligations
or any other party liable with respect thereto by virtue of any indemnity,
guaranty or otherwise.

operation of the Property nor does Mortgagor know of any basis for such a
claim; and (vi) Mortgagor has received no notice of and, to the best of
Mortgagor's knowledge and belief, there has been no claim by any party that

enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted
against the Property. In the event Mortgagor fails to do so, Mortgagee
may, but shall not be obligated to, cause the Property or other affected
property to be freed from any Hazardous Substances or otherwise brought
into conformance with Environmental Laws and any and all costs and expenses
incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith, together with interest
thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee
until actually paid by Mortgagor, shall be immediately paid by Mortgagor on

harmless from and against any and all liens, damages, losses, liabilities,
obligations, settlement payments, penalties, assessments, citations,

proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses of any kind or of any nature
whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys',
consultants' and experts' fees and disbursements actually incurred in
investigating, defending, settling or prosecuting any claim, litigation or
proceeding) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted
or awarded against Mortgagee or the Property, and arising directly or
indirectly from or out of: (i) the presence, release or threat of release
of any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting all or any portion
of the Property or any surrounding areas, regardless of whether or not
caused by or within the control of Mortgagor; (ii) the violation of any
Environmental Laws relating to or affecting the Property, whether or not
caused by or within the control of Mortgagor; (iii) the failure by
Mortgagor to comply fully with the terms and conditions of this Section
1.31; (iv) the breach of any representation or warranty contained in this
Section 1.31; or (v) the enforcement of this Section 1.31, including,
without limitation, the cost of assessment, containment and/or removal of
any and all Hazardous Substances from all or any portion of the Property or
any surrounding areas, the cost of any actions taken in response to the
presence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Substances on, in,
under or affecting any portion of the Propery or any surrounding areas to
prevent or minimize such release or threat of release so that it does not
migrate or otherwise cause or threaten danger to present or future public
health, safety, welfare or the environment, and costs incurred to comply
with the Environmental Laws in connection with all or any portion of the
Property or any surrounding areas. The indemnity set forth in this Section
1.31(c) shall also include any diminution in the value of the security
afforded by the Property or any future reduction in the sales price of the
Property by reason of any matter set forth in this Section 1.31(c).
Mortgagee's rights under this Section shall survive payment in full of the
indebtedness secured hereby and shall be in addition to all other rights of
Mortgagee under this Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
(d) Upon Mortgagee's request, at any time after the occurrence of
an Event of Default hereunder or at such other time as Mortgagee has
reasonable grounds to believe that Hazardous Substances are or have been
released, stored or disposed of on or around the Property or that the
Property may be in violation of the Environmental Laws, Mortgagor shall
provide, at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense, an inspection or audit of
the Property prepared by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or
other appropriate consultant approved by Mortgagee indicating the presence
or absence of Hazardous Substances on the Property or an inspection or
audit of the Improvements prepared by an engineering or consulting firm
approved by Mortgagee indicating the presence or absence of friable
asbestos or substances containing asbestos on the Property. If Mortgagor
fails to provide such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after
such request, Mortgagee may order the same, and Mortgagor hereby grants to
Mortgagee and its employees and agents access to the Property and a license
to undertake such inspection or audit. The cost of such inspection or
audit, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the
date incurred by Mortgagee until actually paid by Mortgagor, shall be
immediately due and payable to Mortgagee by Mortgagor on demand and shall
be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or
any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.
(e) Reference is made to that certain Hazardous Substances
Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith by and among Mortgagor, Merry
Land Properties, Inc. and Mortgagee (the "Hazardous Indemnity Agreement").
The provisions of this Mortgage and the Hazardous Indemnity Agreement shall
be read together to maximize the coverage with respect to the subject
matter thereof, as determined by Mortgagee.
(f) If, prior to the date hereof, it was determined that the
Property contains Lead Based Paint, Mortgagor had prepared an assessment
report describing the location and condition of the Lead Based Paint (a
"Lead Based Paint Report"). If, at any time hereafter, Lead Based Paint is
suspected of being present on the Property, Mortgagor agrees, at its sole
cost and expense and within twenty (20) days thereafter, to cause to be
prepared a Lead Based Paint Report prepared by an expert, and in form,
scope and substance, acceptable to Mortgagee.
(g) Mortgagor agrees that if it has been, or if at any time hereafter
it is, determined that the Property contains Lead Based Paint, on or before
thirty (30) days following (i) the date hereof, if such determination was made
prior to the date hereof or (ii) such determination, if such determination is
hereafter made, as applicable, Mortgagor shall, at its sole cost and expenses,
develop and implement, and thereafter diligently and continuously carry out (or
cause to be developed and implemented and thereafter diligently and continually
to be carried out), an operations, abatement and maintenance plan for the Lead
Based Paint on the Property, which plan shall be prepared by an expert, and be
in form, scope and substance, acceptable to Mortgagee (together with any Lead
Based Paint Report, the "O&M Plan"). (If an O&M Plan has been prepared prior
to the date hereof, Mortgagor agrees to diligently and continually carry out
(or cause to be carried out) the provisions thereof). Compliance with the O&M
Plan shall require or be deemed to require, without limitation, the proper
preparation and maintenance of all records, papers and forms required under the
Environmental Laws.

against: (i) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar
fees which may be made relating to the Property or the secured
indebtedness, and (ii) any and all liability, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses (including
Mortgagee's reasonable attorneys' fees, together with reasonable appellate

1.35 REPAIR AND REMEDIATION RESERVE. Prior to the execution of
this Mortgage, Mortgagee has caused the Property to be inspected and such
inspection has revealed that the Property is in need of certain
maintenance, repairs and/or remedial or corrective work. Contemporaneously
with the execution hereof, Mortgagor has established with the Mortgagee a
reserve in the amount of $26,125 (the "Repair and Remediation Reserve") by
depositing such amount with Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall cause each of the
items described in Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof and as
more particularly described in that certain Engineering Report entitled
Physical Facility Inspection Report, dated April 30, 1999 and prepared by
Comprehensive Building Analysis Inc. (the "Deferred Maintenance") to be
completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of
Mortgagee and as necessary to bring the Property into compliance with all
applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations on or before the
expiration of 90 days after the effective date hereof, as such time period
may be extended by Mortgagee in its sole discretion. So long as no Default
or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents has
occurred and is continuing, all sums in the Repair and Remediation Reserve
shall be held by Mortgagee in the Repair and Remediation Reserve to pay the
costs and expenses of completing the Deferred Maintenance. So long as no
Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents has
occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee shall, to the extent funds are
available for such purpose in the Repair and Remediation Reserve, disburse
to Mortgagor the amount paid or incurred by Mortgagor in completing,
performing, remediating or correcting the Deferred Maintenance upon (a) the
receipt by Mortgagee of a written request from Mortgagor for disbursement
from the Repair and Remediation Reserve and a certification by Mortgagor in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B that the applicable item of Deferred
Maintenance has been paid for and completed n accordance with the terms of
this Mortgage, (b) delivery to Mortgagee of paid invoices, receipts or
other evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee verifying the costs of the
Deferred Maintenance to be reimbursed, (c) delivery to Mortgagee of a
certification from an inspecting architect, engineer or other consultant
reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee describing the completed work, verifying
the completion of the work and the value of the completed work and, if
applicable, certifying that the Property is, as a result of such work, in
compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances rules and regulations
relating to the Deferred Maintenance so performed, (d) delivery to
Mortgagee of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Mortgagee showing that all materialmen, laborers,
subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or
common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished materials or labor to
the Property have been paid all amounts due for such labor and materials
furnished to the Property, and (e) the receipt by Mortgagee of an
administrative fee in the amount of $150.00. Mortgagee shall not be
required to make advances from the Repair and Remediation Reserve more
frequently than once in any ninety (90) day period. In making any payment
from the Repair and Remediation Reserve, Mortgagee shall be entitled to
rely on such request from Mortgagor without any inquiry into the accuracy,
validity or contestability of any such amount. Mortgagor hereby grants to
Mortgagee, as additional security for payment of the indebtedness secured
hereby, a security interest in the Repair and Remediation Reserve. In no
event may Mortgagor be entitled to reimbursement of any costs with respect
to each item of Deferred Maintenance in excess of the applicable amount set
forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and made part hereof. The Repair and
Remediation Reserve shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by
applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but at
Mortgaee's option and in Mortgagee's discretion, may either be held in a
separate account or be commingled by Mortgagee with the general funds of
Mortgagee. No interest on the funds contained in the Repair and
Remediation Reserve shall be paid by Mortgagee to Mortgagor. The Repair
and Remediation Reserve is solely for the protection of Mortgagee and
entails no responsibility on Mortgagee's part beyond the payment of the
costs and expenses described in this paragraph in accordance with the terms
hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually
received. In the event that the amounts on deposit or available in the
Repair and Remediation Reserve are inadequate to pay the costs of the
Deferred Maintenance, Mortgagor shall pay the amount of such deficiency.
Upon assignment of this Mortgage by Mortgagee, any funds in the Repair and
Remediation Reserve shall be turned over to the assignee and any
responsibility of Mortgagee, as assignor, with respect thereto shall
terminate. If there is a default under this Mortgage which is not cured
within any applicable grace or cure period, Mortgagee may, but shall not be
obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in the Repair
and Remediation Reserve against the indebtedness secured hereby in whatever
order Mortgagee shall subjectively determine. No such application of the
Repair and Remediation Reserve shall be deemed to cure any default
hereunder. Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee a power-of-attorney,
coupled with an interest, to cause the Deferred Maintenance to be
completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of
Mortgagee upon Mortgagor's failure to do so in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Mortgage, and to apply the amounts on deposit in the
Repair and Remediation Reserve to the costs associated therewith, all as
Mortgagee may determine in its sole and absolute discretion but without
obligation to do so. Upon the earlier to occur of full payment of the
indebtedness secured hereby in accordance with its terms, the completion of
the Deferred Maintenance to the satisfaction of the Mortgagee or at such
earlier time as Mortgagee may elect, the balance of the Repair and
Remediation Reserve then in Mortgagee's possession shall be paid over to
Mortgagor and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.

REMEDIES
3.1 REMEDIES AVAILABLE. If there shall occur an Event of Default
under this Mortgage, then this Mortgage is subject to foreclosure as
provided by law and Mortgagee may, at its option and by or through a
trustee, nominee, assignee or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses,
either successively or concurrently:
(a) ACCELERATION. Accelerate the maturity date of the Note and
declare any or all of the indebtedness secured hereby to be immediately due
and payable without any presentment, demand, protest, notice, or action of
any kind whatever (each of which is hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor),
whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable. Upon any such
acceleration, payment of such accelerated amount shall constitute a
prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and any applicable
prepayment fee provided for in the Note shall then be immediately due and
payable.
(b) ENTRY ON THE PROPERTY. Either in person or by agent, with or
without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a
court and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon and
take possession of the Property, or any part thereof, without force or with
such force as is permitted by law and without notice or process or with
such notice or process as is required by law unless such notice and process
is waivable, in which case Mortgagor hereby waives such notice and process,
and do any and all acts and perform any and all work which may be desirable
or necessary in Mortgagee's judgment to complete any unfinished
construction on the Real Estate, to preserve the value, marketability or
rentability of the Property, to increase the income therefrom, to manage
and operate the Property or to protect the security hereof and all sums
expended by Mortgagee therefor, together with interest thereon at the
Default Interest Rate, shall be immediately due and payable to Mortgagee by
Mortgagor on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other
Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by
the Note.
(c) COLLECT RENTS AND PROFITS. With or without taking possession
of the Property, ▇▇▇ or otherwise collect the Rents and Profits, including

after, initiating the exercise of any power of sale, instituting any
judicial foreclosure or instituting any other foreclosure of the liens and
security interests provided for herein or any other legal proceedings
hereunder, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for
appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property, as a matter
of strict right and without notice to Mortgagor and without regard to the
adequacy of the Property for the repayment of the indebtedness secured
hereby or the solvency of Mortgagor or any person or persons liable for the
payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and Mortgagor does hereby
irrevocably consent to such appointment, waives any and all notices of and
defenses to such appointment and agrees not to oppose any application
therefor by Mortgagee, but nothing herein is to be construed to deprive
Mortgagee of any other right, remedy or privilege Mortgagee may now have
under the law to have a receiver appointed, provided, however, that, the
appointment of such receiver, trustee or other appointee by virtue of any
court order, statute or regulation shall not impair or in any manner
prejudice the rights of Mortgagee to receive payment of the Rents and
Profits pursuant to other terms and provisions hereof. Any such receiver
shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar
cases, including, without limitation, the full power to hold, develop,
rent, lease, manage, maintain, operate and otherwise use or permit the use
of the Property upon such terms and conditions as said receiver may deem to
be prudent and reasonable under the circumstances as more fully set forth
in Section 3.3 below. Such receivership shall, at the option of Mortgagee,
continue until full payment of all of the indebtedness secured hereby or
until title to the Property shall have passed by foreclosure sale under
this Mortgage or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
(e) FORECLOSURE. Immediately commence an action to foreclose
this Mortgage or to specifically enforce its provisions or any of the
indebtedness secured hereby pursuant to the statutes in such case made and
provided and sell the Property or cause the Property to be sold in
accordance with the requirements and procedures provided by said statutes
in a single parcel or in several parcels at the option of Mortgagee.
(1) In the event foreclosure proceedings are filed by
Mortgagee, all expenses incident to such proceeding,
including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and costs,
shall be paid by Mortgagor and secured by this Mortgage and
by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part
of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. The secured
indebtedness and all other obligations secured by this
Mortgage, including, without limitation, interest at the
Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Note), any
prepayment charge, fee or premium required to be paid under
the Note in order to prepay principal (to the extent
permitted by applicable law), attorneys' fees and any other
amounts due and unpaid to Mortgagee under the Loan
Documents, may be bid by Mortgagee in the event of a
foreclosure sale hereunder. In the event of a judicial sale
pursuant to a foreclosure decree, it is understood and
agreed that Mortgagee or its assigns may become the
purchaser of the Property or any part thereof.
(2) Mortgagee may, by following the procedures and
satisfying the requirements prescribed by applicable law,

(f) OTHER. Exercise any other right or remedy available
hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity.

possession of the Property, and of holding, operating, maintaining, using,
leasing, repairing, improving, marketing and selling the same and of

desirable to place the Property in such condition as will, in Mortgagee's
sole discretion, make it or any part thereof readily marketable or
rentable; (h) conduct a marketing or leasing program with respect to the
Property, or employ a marketing or leasing agent or agents to do so,
directed to the leasing or sale of the Property under such terms and

shall constitute a direction to and full authority to any lessee, or other
third party who has heretofore dealt or contracted or may hereafter deal or
contract with Mortgagor or Mortgagee, at the request of Mortgagee, to pay
all amounts owing under any Lease, contract, concession, license or other
agreement to Mortgagee without proof of the Event of Default relied upon.
Any such lessee or third party is hereby irrevocably authorized to rely
upon and comply with (and shall be fully protected by Mortgagor in so
doing) any request, notice or demand by Mortgagee for the payment to
Mortgagee of any Rents and Profits or other sums which may be or thereafter
become due under its Lease, contract, concession, license or other
agreement, or for the performance of any undertakings uner any such Lease,
contract, concession, license or other agreement, and shall have no right
or duty to inquire whether any Event of Default under this Mortgage or
under any of the other Loan Documents has actually occurred or is then
existing. Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints Mortgagee, its
assignees, successors, transferees and nominees, as Mortgagor's true and
lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution in the
Property, in Mortgagor's name, place and stead, to do or permit any one or
more of the foregoing described rights, remedies, powers and authorities,
successively or concurrently, and said power of attorney shall be deemed a
power coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as any indebtedness
secured hereby is outstanding. Any money advanced by Mortgagee in
connection with any action taken under this Section 3.3, together with
interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date of making such
advancement by Mortgagee until actually paid by Mortgagor, shall be a
demand obligation owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee and shall be secured by
this Mortgage and by every other instrument securing the secured
indebtedness.
3.4 OCCUPANCY AFTER FORECLOSURE. In the event there is a
foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale, Mortgagor or
Mortgagor's representatives, successors or assigns, or any other persons
claiming any interest in the Property by, through or under Mortgagor
(except tenants of space in the Improvements subject to Leases entered into
prior to the date hereof), are occupying or using the Property, or any part
thereof, then, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each and all
shall, at the option of Mortgagee or the purchaser at such sale, as the
case may be, immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale,
which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will of
either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the
value of the Property occupied or used, such rental to be due daily to the
purchaser. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the
event the tenant fails to surrender possession of the Property upon the
termination of such tenancy, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute
and maintain an action for unlawful detainer of the Property in the
appropriate court of the county in which the Real Estate is located.
3.5 NOTICE TO ACCOUNT DEBTORS. Mortgagee may, at any time after
an Event of Default notify the account debtors and obligors of any
accounts, chattel paper, negotiable instruments or other evidences of
indebtedness, to Mortgagor included in the Property to pay Mortgagee
directly. Mortgagor shall at any time or from time to time upon the
request of Mortgagee provide to Mortgagee a current list of all such
account debtors and obligors and their addresses.
3.6 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. All remedies contained in this Mortgage
are cumulative and Mortgagee shall also have all other remedies provided at
law and in equity or in any other Loan Documents. Such remedies may be
pursued separately, successively or concurrently at the sole subjective
direction of Mortgagee and may be exercised in any order and as often as
occasion therefor shall arise. No act of Mortgagee shall be construed as
an election to proceed under any particular provisions of this Mortgage to
the exclusion of any other provision of this Mortgage or as an election of
remedies to the exclusion of any other remedy which may then or thereafter
be available to Mortgagee. No delay or failure by Mortgagee to exercise
any right or remedy under this Mortgage shall be construed to be a waiver
of that right or remedy or of any Event of Default hereunder. Mortgagee
may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies at its option
without regard to the adequacy of its security.
3.7 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Mortgagor shall pay on demand all of
Mortgagee's expenses incurred in any efforts to enforce any terms of this
Mortgage, whether or not any lawsuit is filed and whether or not
foreclosure is commenced but not completed, including, but not limited to,
legal fees and disbursements, foreclosure costs and title charges, together
with interest thereon from and after the date incurred by Mortgagee until
actually paid by Mortgagor at the Default Interest Rate, and the same shall
be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing
all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.
ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS TERMS AND CONDITIONS
4.1 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to all
provisions of this Mortgage.

paid, then and in that event only, all rights under this Mortgage shall
terminate except for those provisions hereof which by their terms survive,
and the Property shall become wholly clear of the liens, security
interests, conveyances and assignments evidenced hereby, which shall be
released by Mortgagee in due form at Mortgagor's cost. No release of this
Mortgage or the lien hereof shall be valid unless executed by Mortgagee.
4.3 CERTAIN RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE. Without affecting Mortgagor's
liability for the payment of any of the indebtedness secured hereby,

release any person liable for the payment of the indebtedness secured
hereby; (b) extend or modify the terms of payment of the indebtedness
secured hereby; (c) accept additional real or personal property of any kind
as security or alter, substitute or release any property securing the
indebtedness secured hereby; (d) recover any part of the Property; (e)
consent in writing to the making of any subdivision map or plat thereof;
(f) join in granting any easement therein; or (g) join in any extension
agreement of the Mortgage or any agreement subordinating the lien hereof.
4.4 WAIVER OF CERTAIN DEFENSES. No action for the enforcement of
the lien hereof or of any provision hereof shall be subject to any defense
which would not be good and available to the party interposing the same in
an action at law upon the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.
4.5 NOTICES. All notices, demands, requests or other
communications to be sent by one party to the other hereunder or required
by law shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly given
or served by delivery of the same in person to the intended addressee, or
by depositing the same with Federal Express or another reputable private
courier service for next business day delivery, or by depositing the same
in the United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, in any event addressed to the intended addressee
at its address set forth on the first page of this Mortgage or at such
other address as may be designated by such party as herein provided. All
notices, demands and requests to be sent to Mortgagee shall be addressed to
the attention of the Capital Markets Group. All notices, demands and
requests shall be effective upon such personal delivery, or one (1)
business day after being deposited with the private courier service, or two
(2) business days after being deposited in the United States mail as
required above. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to
deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given as herein
required shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice, demand or request
sent. By giving to the other party hereto at least fifteen (15) days'
prior written notice thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof, the
parties hereto shall have the right from time to time to change their
respective addresses and each shall have the right to specify as its
address any other address within the United States of America.
4.6 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The terms, provisions, indemnities,
covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon Mortgagor and the
successors and assigns of Mortgagor, including all successors in interest
of Mortgagor in and to all or any part of the Property, and shall inure to
the benefit of Mortgagee, its directors, officers, shareholders, employees
and agents and their respective successors and assigns and shall constitute
covenants running with the land. All references in this Mortgage to
Mortgagor or Mortgagee shall be deemed to include all such parties'
successors and assigns, and the term "Mortgagee" as used herein shall also
mean and refer to any lawful holder or owner, including pledgees and
participants, of any of the indebtedness secured hereby. If Mortgagor
consists of more than one person or entity, each will be jointly and
severally liable to perform the obligations of Mortgagor.
4.7 SEVERABILITY. A determination that any provision of this
Mortgage is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or
validity of any other provision, and any determination that the application
of any provision of this Mortgage to any person or circumstance is illegal
or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such
provision as it may apply to any other persons or circumstances.
4.8 GENDER. Within this Mortgage, words of any gender shall be
held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular
shall be held and construed to include the plural, and vice versa, unless
the context otherwise requires.
4.9 WAIVER: DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS. Mortgagee may waive
any single Event of Default by Mortgagor hereunder without waiving any
other prior or subsequent Event of Default. Mortgagee may remedy any Event
of Default by Mortgagor hereunder without waiving the Event of Default
remedied. Neither the failure by Mortgagee to exercise, nor the delay by
Mortgagee in exercising, any right, power or remedy upon any Event of
Default by Mortgagor hereunder shall be construed as a waiver of such Event
of Default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right, power or
remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Mortgagee of any
right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or
remedy hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No
modification or waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure
by Mortgagor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by Mortgagee, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose given. No notice to nor demand on Mortgagor in any case
shall of itself entitle Mortgagor to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances. Acceptance by Mortgagee of any payment
in an amount less than the amount then due on any of the secured
indebtedness shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in
any way affect the existence of an Event of Default hereunder. In case
Mortgagee shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse
permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter
elect to discontinue or abandon the same for any reason, Mortgagee shall
have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Mortgagor and
Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the
indebtedness secured hereby, the Loan Documents, the Property and
otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Mortagee shall
continue as if the same had never been invoked.
4.10 SECTION HEADINGS. The headings of the sections and
paragraphs of this Mortgage are for convenience of reference only, are not
to be considered a part hereof and shall not limit or otherwise affect any
of the terms hereof.
4.11 GOVERNING LAW. This Mortgage will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Real Estate
is located provided that to the extent any of such laws may now or
hereafter be preempted by Federal law, in which case such Federal law shall
so govern and be controlling; and provided further that the laws of the
state in which the Real Estate is located shall govern as to the creation,
priority and enforcement of liens and security interests in property
located in such state.
4.12 COUNTING OF DAYS. The term "days" when used herein shall
mean calendar days. If any time period ends on a Saturday, Sunday or
holiday officially recognized by the state within which the Real Estate is
located, the period shall be deemed to end on the next succeeding business
day. The term "business day" when used herein shall mean a weekday, Monday
through Friday, except a legal holiday or a day on which banking
institutions in South Carolina are authorized by law to be closed.
4.13 RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. The relationship between
Mortgagor and Mortgagee is that of a borrower and a lender only and neither
of those parties is, nor shall it hold itself out to be, the agent,
employee, joint venturer or partner of the other party.
4.14 APPLICATION OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE NOTE. To the extent that
proceeds of the Note are used to pay indebtedness secured by any
outstanding lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against
the Property, such proceeds have been advanced by Mortgagee at Mortgagor's
request and Mortgagee shall be subrogated to any and all rights, security
interests and liens owned by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens,
security interests, charges or encumbrances, irrespective of whether said
liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances are released.
4.15 UNSECURED PORTION OF INDEBTEDNESS. If any part of the
secured indebtedness cannot be lawfully secured by this Mortgage or if any
part of the Property cannot be lawfully subject to the lien and security
interest hereof to the full extent of such indebtedness, then all payments
made shall be applied on said indebtedness first in discharge of that
portion thereof which is unsecured by this Mortgage.
4.16 CROSS DEFAULT. An Event of Default hereunder shall be a
default under each of the other Loan Documents.
4.17 INTEREST AFTER SALE. In the event the Property or any part
thereof shall be sold upon foreclosure as provided hereunder, to the extent
permitted by law, the sum for which the same shall have been sold shall,
for purposes of redemption (pursuant to the laws of the state in which the
Property is located), bear interest at the Default Interest Rate.
4.18 INCONSISTENCY WITH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. In the event of
any inconsistency between the provisions hereof and the provisions in any
of the other Loan Documents, it is intended that the provisions selected by
Mortgagee in its sole subjective discretion shall be controlling.
4.19 CONSTRUCTION OF THIS DOCUMENT. This document may be
construed as a mortgage, security deed, deed of trust, chattel mortgage,
conveyance, assignment, security agreement, pledge, financing statement,
hypothecation or contract, or any one or more of the foregoing, in order to
fully effectuate the liens and security interests created hereby and the
purposes and agreements herein set forth.
4.20 NO MERGER. It is the desire and intention of the parties
hereto that this Mortgage and the lien hereof do not merge in fee simple
title to the Property. It is hereby understood and agreed that should
Mortgagee acquire any additional or other interests in or to the Property
or the ownership thereof, then, unless a contrary intent is manifested by
Mortgagee as evidenced by an appropriate document duly recorded, this
Mortgage and the lien hereof shall not merge in such other or additional
interests in or to the Property, toward the end that this Mortgage may be
foreclosed as if owned by a stranger to said other or additional interests.
4.21 RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO JUNIOR ENCUMBRANCES. Any person or
entity purporting to have or to take a junior mortgage or other lien or
security interest upon the Property or any interest therein shall be
subject to the rights of Mortgagee to amend, modify, increase, vary, alter
or supplement this Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents
and to extend the maturity date of the indebtedness secured hereby and to
increase the amount of the indebtedness secured hereby and to waive or
forebear the exercise of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents and to release any collateral or security
for the indebtedness secured hereby, in each and every case without
obtaining the consent of the holder of such junior lien and without the
lien or security interest of this Mortgage losing its priority over the
rights of any such junior lien.
4.22 MORTGAGEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In the case of any
receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Mortgagor or the
principals or general partners in Mortgagor, or their respective creditors
or property, Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled
to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of Mortgagee allowed in such
proceedings for the entire secured indebtedness at the date of the
institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may
become due and payable by Mortgagor hereunder after such date.
4.23 FIXTURE FILING. This Mortgage shall be effective from the
date of its recording as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing
with respect to all goods constituting part of the Property which are or
are to become fixtures.
4.24 AFTER-ACQUIRED PROPERTY. All property acquired by Mortgagor
after the date of this Mortgage which by the terms of this Mortgage shall
be subject to the lien and the security interest created hereby, shall
immediately upon the acquisition thereof by Mortgagor and without further
mortgage, conveyance or assignment become subject to the lien and security
interest created by this Mortgage. Nevertheless, Mortgagor shall execute,
acknowledge, deliver and record or file, as appropriate, all and every such
further mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, assignments
and assurances, as Mortgagee shall require for accomplishing the purposes
of this Mortgage.
4.25 NO REPRESENTATION. By accepting delivery of any item
required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Mortgagee
pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, any
officer's certificates balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other
financial statement, survey, appraisal or insurance policy, Mortgagee shall
not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency,
legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term,
provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance of delivery thereof
shall not be or constitute any warranty, consent or affirmation with
respect thereto by Mortgagee.
4.26 COUNTERPARTS. This Mortgage may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be effective only upon delivery and
thereafter shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be taken to
be one and the same instrument, for the same effect as if all parties
hereto had signed the same signature page. Any signature page of this
Mortgage may be detached from any counterpart of this Mortgage without
impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereon and may be attached to
another counterpart of this Mortgage identical in form hereto but having
attached to it one or more additional signature pages.
4.27 PERSONAL LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Mortgage, the liability of Mortgagor and its
officer, directors, general partners, managers, members and principals for
the indebtedness secured hereby and for the performance of the other
agreements, covenants and obligations contained herein and in the other
Loan Documents shall be limited as set forth in Section 2.04 of the Note.
4.28 RECORDING AND FILING. Mortgagor will cause the Loan
Documents and all amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions
therefor to be recorded, filed, re-recorded and re-filed in such manner and
in such places as Mortgagee shall reasonably request, and will pay on
demand all such recording, filing, re-recording and re-filing taxes, fees
and other charges. Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee, or its servicing
agent, for the costs incurred in obtaining a tax service company to verify
the status of payment of taxes and assessments on the Property.
4.29 ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND MODIFICATION. This Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents contain the entire agreements between the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and all prior agreements
relative hereto and thereto which are not contained herein or therein are
terminated. This Mortgage and the other Loan Documents may not be amended,
revised, waived, discharged, released or terminated orally but only by a
written instrument or instruments executed by the party against which
enforcement of the amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or
termination is asserted. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver,
discharge, release or termination which is not so documented shall not be
effective as to any party.
4.30 MAXIMUM INTEREST. The provisions of this Mortgage and of
all agreements between Mortgagor and Mortgagee, whether now existing or
hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited
so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand
or acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the amount
paid, or agreed to be paid ("Interest"), to Mortgagee for the use,
forbearance or retention of the money loaned under the Note exceed the
maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance
whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any
agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall, at the time performance or
fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest
prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed
by applicable law, then ipso facto the obligation to be performed or
fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit and if, from any circumstance
whatsoever, Mortgagee shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest
by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal
to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the
principal balance owing under the Note in the inverse order of
its maturity (whether or not then due) or at the option of Mortgagee be
paid over to Mortgagor, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest
(including any amounts or payments deemed to be Interest) paid or agreed to
be paid to Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until
payment in full of the principal balance of the Note so that the Interest
thereon for such full period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted
by applicable law. This paragraph will control all agreements between
Mortgagor and Mortgagee.
4.31 INTEREST PAYABLE BY MORTGAGEE. Mortgagee shall cause funds
in the Replacement Reserve to be deposited into an interest bearing account
of the type customarily maintained by Mortgagee or its servicing agent for
the investment of similar reserves, which account may not yield the highest
interest rate then available. Interest payable on such amounts shall be
computed based on the daily outstanding balance in the Replacement Reserve.
Such interest shall be calculated on a simple, non-compounded interest
basis based solely on contributions made to the Replacement Reserve by
Mortgagor. All interest earned on amounts contributed to the Replacement
Reserve shall be retained by Mortgagee and added to the balance in the
Replacement Reserve and shall be disbursed for payment of the items for
which other funds in the Replacement Reserve are to be disbursed.
4.32 SECONDARY MARKET. Mortgagee may sell, transfer and deliver
the Loan Documents to one or more investors in the secondary mortgage
market. In connection with such sale, may retain or assign responsibility
for servicing the loan or may delegate some or all of such responsibility
and/or obligations to a servicer, including, but not limited to, any
subservicer or master servicer, on behalf of the investors. All references
to Mortgagee herein shall refer to and include, without limitation, any
such servicer, to the extent applicable.
4.33 FURTHER STIPULATIONS. The additional covenants, agreements
and provisions set forth in EXHIBITS B, C AND D attached hereto and made a
part hereof, if any, shall be a part of this Mortgage and shall, in the
event of any conflict between such further stipulations and any of the
other provisions of this Mortgage, be deemed to control.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Mortgagor has executed this Mortgage as of
the day and year first above written.
