liens existing on the Mortgaged Property, then Mortgagee is, and will be,

indebtedness so paid. This Mortgage is given to secure repayment of advances

term of such Lease); (e) appear in and defend any action or proceeding in any
manner connected with any of the Leases; (f) deliver to Mortgagee true and
complete copies of all Leases; and (g) deliver to Mortgagee all such further
information, and execute and deliver to Mortgagee such further assurances and
assignments, with respect to the Leases as Mortgagee may from time to time
reasonably request. Without Mortgagee's prior written consent, Mortgagor shall
not (i) do or knowingly permit to be done anything to materially impair the
value of any of the Leases; (ii) except for security or similar deposits,

SECTION 3.04 Direction to Tenants. Upon and at any time following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor hereby
authorizes and directs, and shall, at the direction of Mortgagee, further
authorize and direct, in writing, the tenant under each Lease to pay directly
to, or as directed by, Mortgagee all Rents accruing or due under its Lease,
without proof to the tenant of the occurrence and continuance of such Event of
Default. Mortgagor hereby authorizes the tenant under each Lease to rely upon
and comply with any notice or demand from Mortgagee for payment of Rents to
Mortgagee, and Mortgagor shall
9
have no claim against any tenant for Rents paid by such tenant to Mortgagee
pursuant to such notice or demand. All Rents actually collected by Mortgagee
pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be applied in accordance with the Indenture.
SECTION 3.05 Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints Mortgagee the true
and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, of Mortgagor and
Mortgagor hereby confers upon Mortgagee the right, in the name, place and stead
of Mortgagor, to, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, demand, ▇▇▇ for, attach, levy, recover and receive any of the Rents and
any premium or penalty payable upon the exercise by any third Person under any
Lease of a privilege of cancellation originally provided in such Lease and to
give proper receipts, releases and acquittances therefor and, after deducting
expenses of collection, to apply the net proceeds as provided in the Indenture.
Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs any such third Person to deliver such
payment to Mortgagee in accordance with this Article III, and Mortgagor hereby
ratifies and confirms all that its said attorney-in-fact, the Mortgagee, shall
do or cause to be done in accordance with this Mortgage and by virtue of the
powers granted hereby. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing,
and such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Mortgagee, and its
successors and assigns, so long as any part of the Senior Secured Note
Obligations remains unpaid or unperformed and undischarged.
(b) Mortgagor hereby constitutes and appoints Mortgagee the true
and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, of Mortgagor and
Mortgagor hereby confers upon Mortgagee the right, in the name, place and stead
of Mortgagor, to subject and subordinate at any time and from time to time any
Lease or any part thereof to the lien, assignment and security interest of this
Mortgage and to the terms hereof, or to any other mortgage, deed of trust,
assignment or security agreement, or to any ground lease or surface lease, with
respect to all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property, or to request or require
such subordination, where such reservation, option or authority was reserved to
Mortgagor under any such Lease, or in any case where Mortgagor otherwise would
have the right, power or privilege so to do. The foregoing appointment is
irrevocable and continuing, and such rights, powers and privileges shall be
exclusive in Mortgagee, and its successors and assigns, so long as any part of
the Senior Secured Note Obligations remains unpaid or unperformed and
undischarged. Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants that it has not at any
time prior to the date hereof exercised (or appointed any Person as
attorney-in-fact to exercise) any of the rights described in this Section 3.05,
and Mortgagor hereby covenants not to exercise (or appoint any other Person as
attorney-in-fact to exercise) any such right, nor (except at Mortgagee's written
request) to subordinate any such Lease to the lien of this Mortgage or to any
other mortgage, deed of trust, assignment or security agreement or to any ground
lease or surface lease.
SECTION 3.06 No Liability of Mortgagee. Neither the acceptance hereof
nor the exercise of the rights and remedies hereunder nor any other action on
the part of Mortgagee or any Person exercising the rights of Mortgagee or any
Holder hereunder shall be construed to: (a) be an assumption by Mortgagee or any
such Person or to otherwise make Mortgagee or such Person liable or responsible
for the performance of any of the obligations of Mortgagor under or with respect
to the Leases or for any Rent, security deposit or other amount delivered to
Mortgagor, provided that Mortgagee or any such Person exercising the rights of
Mortgagee shall
10
be accountable for any Rents, security deposits or other amounts actually
received by Mortgagee or such Person, as the case may be; or (b) obligate
Mortgagee or any such Person to take any action under or with respect to the
Leases or with respect to the Mortgaged Property, to incur any expense or
perform or discharge any duty or obligation under or with respect to the Leases
or with respect to the Mortgaged Property, to appear in or defend any action or
proceeding relating to the Leases or the Mortgaged Property, to constitute
Mortgagee as a mortgagee-in-possession (unless Mortgagee actually enters and
takes possession of the Mortgaged Property), or to be liable in any way for any
injury or damage to Persons or property sustained by any Person in or about the
Mortgaged Property, other than to the extent caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Mortgagee or any Person exercising the rights of Mortgagee
hereunder.
SECTION 3.07 Mortgagor's Indemnities. Mortgagor hereby agrees to
protect, indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee and each Indemnified Party from
and against any and all Losses which Mortgagee or Indemnified Party may incur
under or by reason of this Article III, or for any action taken by Mortgagee or
such Indemnified Party hereunder, or by reason or in defense of any and all
claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Mortgagee or
Indemnified Party arising out of the Leases, including, without limitation, any
claim by any third Person for credit on account of Rents paid to and received by
Mortgagor, but not delivered to Mortgagee or its agents, representatives or
employees, for any period under any Lease more than one (1) month in advance of
the due date thereof. The foregoing indemnity shall include, in any case, such
Loss as may result from the ordinary negligence of Mortgagee or Indemnified
Party, but not any such Loss that is caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Mortgagee or Indemnified Party. In the event that Mortgagee or any
Indemnified Party incurs any Losses covered by the indemnity set forth in this
Section 3.07, the amount thereof, including reasonable attorneys' fees, with
interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee
within ten (10) days after demand therefor, and shall be secured hereby and by
all other security for the payment and performance of the Senior Secured Note
Obligations, including, without limitation, the lien and security interest of
this Mortgage. The liabilities of Mortgagor as set forth in this Section 3.07
shall survive the termination of this Mortgage and the repayment of the Senior
Secured Note Obligations.
SECTION 3.08 No Modification of Mortgagor's Obligations. Nothing herein
contained shall modify or otherwise alter the obligation of Mortgagor to make
prompt payment of all Senior Secured Note Obligations as and when the same
become due, regardless of whether the Rents described in this Article III are
sufficient to pay the Senior Secured Note Obligations, and the security provided
to Mortgagee pursuant to this Article III shall be cumulative of all other
security of any and every character now or hereafter existing to secure payment
of the Senior Secured Note Obligations.

Except as to Permitted Liens, Mortgagor has good, marketable and indefeasible
fee simple title to the Land and the Buildings, and has good, marketable and
indefeasible title to the Fixtures, the Personalty and the other Mortgaged
Property. The Mortgaged Property is free and clear of any and all Liens,

aside for the payment thereof on Mortgagor's financial statements to the extent
required by and in accordance with GAAP. Mortgagor has no actual knowledge of
any basis for any additional assessment or charge in respect of any such taxes
or other Impositions. Mortgagor has paid or will pay in the ordinary course of

personal property (whether or not forming a Fixture hereunder) and services of
every kind and character used, furnished or installed in or on the Mortgaged

SECTION 4.03 Power to Create Lien and Security. Mortgagor has full
power and lawful authority to grant, bargain, sell, assign, transfer, mortgage

warranties were set forth at length herein as the representations and warranties
of Mortgagor.
SECTION 4.05 Compliance with Laws. All of the improvements on the Land
(i) comply with all material requirements of all applicable laws and ordinances
with respect to zoning, subdivision, construction, building and land use,
including, without limitation, requirements with respect to parking, access and
certificates of occupancy (and similar certificates) and (ii) comply with, and
shall remain in compliance with, applicable health, fire and building codes. All
of the Buildings lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines
of the Land. No improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Land, and
no easements or other encumbrances upon the Land encroach upon or under any of
the Buildings or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. All of the Buildings and
the use of the Mortgaged Property materially comply with, and shall remain in
material compliance with, all
12
applicable statutes, rules, regulations and private covenants now or hereafter
relating to the ownership, construction, use or operation of the Mortgaged
Property, including all applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to
requirements for equal opportunity, anti-discrimination, fair housing,
environmental protection, zoning and land use. All certifications, permits,
licenses and approvals, including, without limitation, certificates of
completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and

respect to, an alleged violation with respect to any of the foregoing.

ARTICLE V
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Mortgagor hereby unconditionally covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as
follows:
SECTION 5.01 Lien Status. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the
Indenture, Mortgagor shall not place, or permit to be placed, or otherwise
mortgage, hypothecate or encumber the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof
or interest therein, with any other Lien or security interest of any nature
whatsoever (statutory, constitutional or contractual), other than Permitted
Liens, regardless of whether such Lien or security interest is inferior to the
Lien and security interest created by this Mortgage, and, if any such Lien or
security interest is asserted against the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor shall
promptly, at its own cost and expense, (a) pay the underlying claim in full
(except for so long as such claim is being contested by Mortgagor in good faith
and as and to the extent permitted in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture) or take such other action as may be necessary to cause the same to be
released of record and otherwise, and (b) within five (5) days after the date on
which such Lien or security interest is so asserted, give Mortgagee notice of
such Lien or security interest. Such notice shall specify who is asserting such
Lien or security interest and shall detail the origin and nature of the
underlying claim giving rise to such asserted Lien or security interest.
SECTION 5.02 Payment of Impositions. Mortgagor shall duly pay and
discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, all Impositions not later than
the due date thereof, or the day on which any fine, penalty, interest or cost
may be added thereto or imposed, or the day on
13
which any Lien may be filed for the nonpayment thereof (if such day is used to
determine the due date of the respective item); provided, however, that
Mortgagor may, if permitted by applicable law and if such installment payment
would not create or permit the filing of a Lien against the Mortgaged Property,
pay the Impositions in installments. 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,
subject to any more restrictive provisions applicable to any such contest
contained in the Indenture and (without limiting the foregoing) so long as (a)
such contest is diligently pursued, (b) Mortgagee determines, in its opinion
reasonably exercised, 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 Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any
interest of Mortgagee therein, and (c) unless expressly provided to the contrary
in the Indenture, prior to the earlier of the commencement of such contest or
the delinquency date of the asserted tax or assessment, Mortgagor deposits with
Mortgagee 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, subject to Mortgagee's rights and remedies during
an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall make any sum deposited pursuant to clause
(c) above available for such payment); 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 Mortgaged Property may be sold, lost or forfeited.
SECTION 5.03 Repair. Mortgagor shall keep the Mortgaged Property in
good order and condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and shall make all
repairs, replacements and improvements thereof and thereto, interior and
exterior, structural and non-structural, ordinary and extraordinary, which are
necessary to keep the same in such order and condition. Mortgagor shall also use
reasonable efforts to prevent any act or occurrence which might impair the value
or usefulness of the Mortgaged Property for its intended usage.
SECTION 5.04 Insurance and Application of Insurance Proceeds.
(a) During the term of this Mortgage, Mortgagor, at its sole cost
and expense, shall maintain, or cause to be maintained the following policies of
insurance, with respect to the Mortgaged Property:
(i) Casualty (property) insurance against loss or damage
by fire, lightning and such other perils as are included in a standard
"special form" policy (formerly known as an "all-risk" endorsement
policy), and against loss or damage by all other risks and hazards
covered by a standard extended coverage insurance policy including,
without limitation, riot and civil commotion, terrorist actions,
vandalism, malicious mischief, burglary and theft, in an amount equal
to the greater of (A) the then full replacement cost of the
improvements, without deduction for physical depreciation and (B) such
amount that the insurer would not deem Mortgagor a co-insurer under
said policies. The policies of insurance required under this Section
5.04 shall contain a "Replacement Cost" endorsement with a waiver of
depreciation and an "Agreed
14
Amount" or "No Coinsurance" endorsement and shall otherwise comply with
the Indenture.
(ii) Commercial General Liability insurance, including a
broad form comprehensive general liability endorsement and coverages
for broad form property damage, contractual damages and personal
injuries (including death resulting therefrom) and containing minimum
limits per occurrence of $1,000,000.00 and $2,000,000.00 in the
aggregate for any policy year with no deductible.
(iii) Rental loss and/or business interruption insurance in
an amount equal to the estimated gross revenues from the operations of
the Mortgaged Property for a period of twelve (12) months.
(iv) Insurance against loss or damage from (A) leakage of
sprinkler systems and (B) explosion of steam boilers, air conditioning
equipment, high pressure piping, machinery and equipment, pressure
vessels or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed on the
improvements (without exclusion for explosions).
(v) Flood insurance if all or any portion of the
Mortgaged Property is located in an area now or hereafter designated by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as an area having special
flood hazards (including, without limitation, those areas designated as
Zone A or Zone V), and in which flood insurance has been made available
under the U.S. National Flood Insurance Program, in an amount equal to
the full replacement cost of the Buildings, Fixtures and Personalty now
or hereafter located on the Mortgaged Property or such other amount as
may be agreed to by Mortgagee in writing.
(vi) If the Mortgaged Property is or ever becomes
non-conforming with respect to zoning, ordinance or law coverage to
compensate for loss of value or property resulting from operation of
law and the cost of demolition and the increased cost of construction
in such amounts as may be requested by Mortgagee.
(vii) Any other insurance with respect to the Mortgaged
Property that may be required under the Indenture.
(viii) Such other insurance as may from time to time be
reasonably required by Mortgagee in order to protect its interests.
(b) All such insurance policies with respect to the Mortgaged
Property shall contain a standard, non-contributory mortgagee clause naming
Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, as an additional insured under all
liability insurance policies, as the mortgagee and loss payee on all property
insurance policies, and as the sole loss payee on all rental loss or business
interruption insurance policies. Mortgagor shall not take out separate insurance
with respect to the Mortgaged Property concurrent in form or contributing in the
event of loss with that required to be maintained hereunder or under the
Indenture unless Mortgagee is named an additional insured thereon under a
standard mortgagee clause acceptable to Mortgagee and each such policy is
otherwise in form and substance acceptable to Mortgagee.
15
(c) In the event of the foreclosure of this Mortgage, or in the
event of any transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof,
by foreclosure sale or by power of sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the
purchaser of the Mortgaged Property, or such part thereof, shall succeed to all
of Mortgagor's rights with respect to the Mortgaged Property, including any
rights to unexpired, unearned or returnable insurance premiums, subject to
limitations on the assignment of blanket policies, but limited to such rights as
relate to the Mortgaged Property or such part thereof. If Mortgagee acquires
title to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, in any manner, Mortgagee
shall thereupon (as between Mortgagor and Mortgagee) become the sole and
absolute owner of the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgaged Property,
and all insurance proceeds payable thereunder with respect to the Mortgaged
Property, with the sole right to collect and retain all unearned or returnable
premiums thereon with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or such part thereof,
if any.
(d) If any damage to, destruction or loss of or other casualty
with respect to any of the Mortgaged Property shall occur, Mortgagor shall file
and prosecute its claim or claims for any insurance proceeds in good faith and
with due diligence and cause the same to be collected and paid over to
Mortgagee, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Mortgagee,
in the name of Mortgagor or otherwise, to collect and receipt for any such
insurance proceeds and to adjust any insurance claims and to file and prosecute
such claim or claims, and although it is hereby expressly agreed that the same
shall not be necessary in any event, Mortgagor shall, upon demand of Mortgagee,
make, execute and deliver any and all assignments and other instruments
sufficient for the purpose of assigning any such insurance proceeds to
Mortgagee, free and clear of any Liens whatsoever. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably
appoints Mortgagee as Mortgagor's attorney-in-fact for each such purpose (which
appointment is coupled with an interest) and authorizes any Person to act upon
the foregoing appointment.
(e) Following any damage to, destruction or loss of or other
casualty with respect to any of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee shall apply
the entire amount of any insurance proceeds in accordance with the provisions of
the Indenture or, if there is no provision contained in the Indenture governing
how the same are to be applied, then Mortgagee shall apply the entire amount
thereof to the payment of the Senior Secured Note Obligations, whether or not
then due and payable, in such manner and order as Mortgagee may elect, unless
expressly provided to the contrary in the Indenture, Mortgagor hereby covenants
and agrees to promptly commence and to diligently prosecute the restoration of
the Mortgaged Property upon the occurrence of any casualty loss affecting the
Mortgaged Property, without regard to the availability or adequacy of insurance
proceeds, but in all events in a manner approved by Mortgagee. Notwithstanding
any damage to, destruction or loss of or other casualty with respect to any of
the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor shall continue to pay the Senior Secured Note
Obligations at the time and in the manner provided for in the Indenture and the
other Senior Secured Note Documents until the Senior Secured Note Obligations
have been paid in full. If the Mortgaged Property is sold, through foreclosure
or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Mortgagee of such insurance proceeds,
Mortgagee shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on any
Senior Secured Note Document shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to
receive such insurance proceeds, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the then
unpaid Senior Secured Note Obligations, whichever is less.
SECTION 5.05 Condemnation and Application of Condemnation Proceeds.
16
(a) Promptly upon its obtaining knowledge of the institution or
the threatened institution of any proceeding for the condemnation or other
taking of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof or interest therein,
Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee of such proceeding. Mortgagor shall then, if
requested by Mortgagee, file or defend its claim thereunder and prosecute same
with due diligence to its final disposition and shall, subject to the terms of
the Indenture, cause any awards or settlements to be paid over to Mortgagee for
disposition pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage. Mortgagee shall be entitled
to participate in any such proceeding, at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense, and
Mortgagor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Mortgagee such instruments
as may be requested by Mortgagee from time to time to permit such participation.
(b) If the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof is taken or
diminished in value, or if a consent settlement is entered by or under threat of
such proceeding, the award or settlement payable to Mortgagor by virtue of its
interest in the Mortgaged Property shall be, and by these presents is, assigned,
transferred and set over unto Mortgagee to be held by Mortgagee, subject to the
Lien and security interest of this Mortgage, and disbursed in accordance with
the provisions of the Indenture or, if there is no provision contained in the
Indenture governing how the same is to be disbursed, then Mortgagee shall apply
the entire amount thereof (i) in the event of a partial taking, first to the
restoration of that part of the Mortgaged Property not taken and then to the
payment of the Senior Secured Note Obligations, and (ii) in the event of a total
taking, to the payment of the Senior Secured Note Obligations, in both cases of
(i) and (ii), whether or not then due and payable, in such manner and order as
Mortgagee may elect. In all events, unless otherwise expressly provided to the
contrary in the Indenture, Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees to commence and
diligently to prosecute the restoration of the Mortgaged Property upon the
occurrence of any condemnation or other taking affecting the Mortgaged Property,
without regard to the availability or adequacy of any award or settlement.
Notwithstanding any condemnation or other taking of any of the Mortgaged
Property, Mortgagor shall continue to pay the Senior Secured Note Obligations at
the time and in the manner provided for in the Indenture and the other Senior
Secured Note Documents, and the Senior Secured Note Obligations shall not be
reduced until, and then only to the extent that, any condemnation award or
settlement shall have been actually received and applied by Mortgagee to the
discharge of the Senior Secured Note Obligations. If the Mortgaged Property is
sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Mortgagee of
such condemnation award or settlement, Mortgagee shall have the right, whether
or not a deficiency judgment on any Senior Secured Note Document shall have been
sought, recovered or denied, to receive such condemnation award or settlement,
or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Senior Secured Note Obligations,
whichever is less.
SECTION 5.06 Maintenance of Rights-of-Way, Easements, Licenses and
Other Rights. Mortgagor shall maintain, preserve and renew all rights-of-way,
easements, tenements, hereditaments, development rights and credits, zoning
rights, grants, privileges, appurtenances, licenses, franchises and other rights
reasonably necessary for the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property from
time to time, or otherwise relevant to the value thereof, and Mortgagor shall
not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, initiate, join in or
consent to any private restrictive covenant or other public or private
restriction as to the present or future use or operation of the Mortgaged
Property. Mortgagor shall, however, comply with all restrictive covenants which
may at any time affect the Mortgaged Property, all applicable zoning
17
ordinances and all other public or private restrictions relating to the use of
the Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 5.07 Payment and Performance of Senior Secured Note
Obligations. Mortgagor shall duly and punctually pay and perform all of the
Senior Secured Note Obligations as and to the extent and in the manner set forth
in the Indenture.
SECTION 5.08 Compliance with Permitted Liens and Other Senior Secured
Note Obligations. Mortgagor shall comply in all material respects with any and
all Senior Secured Note Obligations, restrictions and requirements that may be
set forth in each and every document constituting a Permitted Lien as and to the
extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture. In addition, Mortgagor
shall comply in all material respects with each and every obligation legally
imposed upon it and/or relating to the Mortgaged Property pursuant to applicable
law (including, without limitation, all matters described in Section 4.05
hereof), contract or other agreement. It is hereby acknowledged that Mortgagee's
consent to a Permitted Lien as of the date hereof shall in no way be deemed to
constitute approval of any future Lien which may be imposed upon any portion of
the Mortgaged Property, or any other enforcement action affecting Mortgagor or
the Mortgaged Property, as a result of Mortgagor's failure to perform or comply
with its Senior Secured Note Obligations under any document constituting a
Permitted Lien as of the date hereof.
SECTION 5.09 Additional Affirmative Covenants. All affirmative
covenants made by the Mortgagor or Guarantors or any of them in the Indenture
and the other Senior Secured Note Documents are incorporated herein by reference
and are hereby also made by Mortgagor as to itself and the Mortgaged Property as
though such affirmative covenants were set forth at length herein as the
affirmative covenants of Mortgagor.

Secured Note Document shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder.
SECTION 7.02 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to any other rights, powers or
remedies conferred herein or by operation of law, Mortgagee, in its sole
judgment and discretion, may declare the then unpaid principal balance remaining
under the Notes (the "Principal Balance"), the accrued interest thereon and any
other accrued but unpaid portion of the Senior Secured Note Obligations to be,
and they shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor.
SECTION 7.03 Foreclosure and Sale. If an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, Mortgagee shall have the right and option to take possession
of the Mortgaged Property and/or proceed with foreclosure and to sell, to the
extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law, all or any portion of the
Mortgaged Property at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such
place or places, in such manner and upon such notice as may be
19
required by applicable law, or, in the absence of any such requirement, as
Mortgagee may deem appropriate, and to make conveyance to the purchaser or
purchasers. Where the Mortgaged Property is situated in more than one county,
notice as above provided shall be posted and filed in all such counties (if such
notices are required by applicable law), and all such Mortgaged Property may be
sold in any such county and any such notice shall designate the county where
such Mortgaged Property is to be sold. Nothing contained in this Section 7.03
shall be construed so as to limit in any way Mortgagee's rights to sell the
Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, by private sale if, and to the
extent that, such private sale is permitted under the laws of the applicable
jurisdiction or by public or private sale after entry of a judgment by any court
of competent jurisdiction so ordering. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints
Mortgagee to be the attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor (coupled with an interest) and
in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor to execute and deliver any deeds,
transfers, conveyances, assignments, assurances and notices which Mortgagor
ought to execute and deliver, and to do and perform any other acts or things
which Mortgagor ought to do and perform under the covenants herein contained
and, generally, to use the name of Mortgagor in the exercise of any of the
powers hereby conferred on Mortgagee. At any such sale: (a) whether made under
the power herein contained or any other legal enactment, or by virtue of any
judicial proceedings or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, it shall not
be necessary for Mortgagee to have physically present, or to have constructive
possession of, the Mortgaged Property (Mortgagor hereby covenanting and agreeing
to deliver to Mortgagee any portion of the Mortgaged Property not actually or
constructively possessed by Mortgagee immediately upon demand by Mortgagee) and
the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the
purchaser thereof as completely as if the same had been actually present and
delivered to purchaser at such sale; (b) each instrument of conveyance executed
by Mortgagee shall contain a general warranty of title, binding upon Mortgagor
and its successors and assigns; (c) each and every recital contained in any
instrument of conveyance made by Mortgagee shall conclusively establish the
truth and accuracy of the matters recited therein, including, without
limitation, nonpayment and/or nonperformance of the Senior Secured Note
Obligations and advertisement and conduct of such sale in the manner provided
herein and otherwise required by applicable law; (d) any and all prerequisites
to the validity thereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been performed;
(e) the receipt of Mortgagee, or of such other Person or officer making the
sale, shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser for its purchase money
and neither such purchaser nor its assigns or personal representatives shall
thereafter be obligated to see to the application of such purchase money, or be
in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application thereof;
(f) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagor shall be
completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest,
estate, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity (including any
statutory or common law right of redemption, which is hereby waived to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law), in and to the property sold in any
such event, and such sale shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity,
against Mortgagor and any and all other Persons claiming by, through or under
Mortgagor; and (g) to the extent and under such circumstances as are permitted
by applicable law, Mortgagee may be a purchaser at any such sale, and shall have
the right, after paying or accounting for all costs of said sale or sales, to
credit the amount of the then unpaid Senior Secured Note Obligations to the
amount of its bid (in the order of priority set forth in Section 7.16 hereof) in
lieu of cash payment. Each remedy provided in this instrument is distinct from
and cumulative with all other rights and remedies
20
provided hereunder or afforded by applicable law or equity, and may be exercised
concurrently, independently or successively, in any order whatsoever.
SECTION 7.04 Mortgagee's Agents. 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 Mortgagee, including the posting of notices and the conduct of
sale, but in the name and on behalf of Mortgagee.
SECTION 7.05 Judicial Foreclosure. If any Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, Mortgagee shall have the right and power to proceed by a suit
or suits in equity or at law, whether for the specific performance of any
covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power
herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder or for the sale of the
Mortgaged Property under the judgment or decree of any court or courts of
competent jurisdiction, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or
equitable remedy.
SECTION 7.06 Receiver. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, Mortgagee may apply for and obtain as a matter of right and without
notice to Mortgagor, which notice is hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor, the
appointment of a receiver to collect the Rents of the Mortgaged Property and to
preserve the security hereof, either before or after any foreclosure sale or the
sale of the Mortgaged Property under the order of a court or courts of competent
jurisdiction or under executory or other legal process, without regard to the
value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the amount then due to
Mortgagee, or the solvency of any entity or entities, person or persons
primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of such amounts; the Rents of
the Mortgaged Property, in any such event, having heretofore been assigned to
Mortgagee pursuant to Section 3.01 as additional security for the payment of the
Senior Secured Note Obligations secured hereby. Any money advanced by Mortgagee
in connection with any such receivership shall be a demand obligation (which
obligation Mortgagor hereby expressly promises to pay) owing by Mortgagor to
Mortgagee and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.07(b) hereof.
SECTION 7.07 Foreclosure for Installments. To the extent allowed by
applicable law, Mortgagee shall also have the option to proceed with foreclosure
in satisfaction of any installments of the Senior Secured Note Obligations which
have not been paid when due, either through the courts or otherwise, by
non-judicial power of sale in satisfaction of the matured but unpaid portion of
the Senior Secured Note Obligations as if under a full foreclosure, conducting
the sale as herein provided and without declaring the entire principal balance
and accrued interest due. Such sale may be made subject to the unmatured portion
of the Senior Secured Note Obligations, and any such sale shall not in any
manner affect the unmatured portion of the Senior Secured Note Obligations, but
as to such unmatured portion of the Senior Secured Note Obligations this
Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect just as though no sale had been
made hereunder. It is further agreed that several sales may be made hereunder
without exhausting the right of sale for any unmatured part of the Senior
Secured Note Obligations, it being the intent and purpose hereof to provide for
a foreclosure and sale of the security for any matured portion of the Senior
Secured Note Obligations without exhausting the power to foreclose and sell the
Mortgaged Property for any subsequently maturing portion of the Senior Secured
Note Obligations.
21
SECTION 7.08 Separate Sales. To the extent allowed by applicable law,
the Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and
order as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect, it being expressly
understood and agreed that the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default
shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.
SECTION 7.09 Possession of Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor agrees to the
full extent that it lawfully may, that, in case one or more of the Events of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, and in every such case,
Mortgagee shall have the right and power to enter into and upon and take
possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property in the possession of
Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, or its or their agents or servants, and
may exclude Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, and all Persons claiming by,
through or under Mortgagor, and its or their agents or servants wholly or partly
therefrom; and, holding the same, Mortgagee may use, administer, manage, operate
and control the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business thereof to the same
extent as Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, might at the time do and may
exercise all rights and powers of Mortgagor, in the name, place and stead of
Mortgagor, or otherwise as Mortgagee shall deem best. All costs, expenses and
liabilities of every character incurred by Mortgagee in administering, managing,
operating and controlling the Mortgaged Property shall constitute a demand
obligation (which obligation Mortgagor hereby expressly promises to pay) owing
by Mortgagor to Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
Mortgagee as Mortgagor's attorney-in-fact (coupled with an interest) to perform
such acts and execute such documents as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, shall
deem appropriate, including endorsement of Mortgagor's name on any instruments.
Regardless of any provision of this Mortgage, the Indenture or any other Senior
Secured Note Document, Mortgagee shall not be considered to have accepted any
property other than cash or immediately available funds in satisfaction of any
obligation of Mortgagor to Mortgagee, unless Mortgagee shall have given express
written notice of Mortgagee's election to the contrary.
SECTION 7.10 Occupancy After Acceleration. In the event that there is
an acceleration of the amounts due under the Notes and Mortgagor or Mortgagor's
representatives, successors or assigns or any other Person claiming any interest
in the Mortgaged Property by, through or under Mortgagor, continues to occupy or
use the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, each and all shall immediately
become the tenant of Mortgagee (or its successor, if applicable), which tenancy
shall be a tenancy from day-to-day, terminable at the will of either the
landlord or tenant, at a rent to be determined by Mortgagee (which may be in
excess of fair market value); provided, however, that until Mortgagee sets forth
the amount of such rent, such rent shall be a fair market rental per day based
upon the value of the Mortgaged Property as a whole; and such rental shall be
due daily to the Mortgagee (or its successor, if applicable). To the extent
permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee (or its successor, if applicable),
notwithstanding any language herein to the contrary, shall have the sole option
to demand immediate possession or to permit the occupants to remain as tenants
at will. In the event that the tenant fails to surrender possession of said
property upon demand, Mortgagee (and its successor, if applicable) shall be
entitled to institute and maintain a summary action for possession of the
Mortgaged Property (such as an action for forcible entry and detainer) in any
court having appropriate jurisdiction.
SECTION 7.11 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive. Every
right, power and remedy herein given to Mortgagee shall be cumulative and in
addition to every other
22
right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing
in equity, at law or by statute (including specifically those granted by the
Applicable UCC). Each such right, power and remedy, whether specifically herein
given or otherwise existing, may be exercised from time to time and so often and
in such order as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee, and the exercise, or the
beginning of the exercise, of any such right, power or remedy shall not be
deemed a waiver of the right to exercise, at the same time or thereafter, any
other right, power or remedy. Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect all costs
and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies. No delay or omission by
Mortgagee in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy shall impair any
such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof or of any other
right, power or remedy then or thereafter existing.
SECTION 7.12 No Release of Senior Secured Note Obligations. Neither
Mortgagor, any other Obligor or any of the Guarantors, nor any other Person now
or hereafter obligated for the payment or performance of all or any part of the
Senior Secured Note Obligations shall be relieved of any such obligation by
reason of (a) the failure of Mortgagee, to comply with any request of Mortgagor,
any other Obligor, any of the Guarantors or any Obligor, Guarantor or other
Person so obligated to foreclose the Lien of this Mortgage or to enforce any
provision hereunder or under the Indenture; (b) the release, regardless of
consideration, of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof or interest
therein or the addition of any other property to the Mortgaged Property; (c) any
agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property
and Mortgagee extending, renewing, rearranging or in any other way modifying the
terms of this Mortgage without first having obtained the consent of, given
notice to or paid any consideration to Mortgagor, any other Obligor or any of
the Guarantors Obligor or any other Person, and in any such event Mortgagor, all
other Obligors, all Guarantors and all such other Persons shall continue to be
liable to make payment according to the terms of any such extension or
modification agreement unless expressly released and discharged in writing by
Mortgagee; or (d) any other act or occurrence save and except the complete
payment and performance of all of the Senior Secured Note Obligations.
SECTION 7.13 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Mortgagee may
release, regardless of consideration, any part of the Mortgaged Property
without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or
releasing the Lien or security interest created in or evidenced by this Mortgage
or its stature as a Lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property,
and without in any way releasing or diminishing the liability of any Person
liable for the payment or performance of the Senior Secured Note Obligations.
Mortgagee may resort to any other security for the Senior Secured Note
Obligations held by Mortgagee in such manner and order as Mortgagee may elect.
SECTION 7.14 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefits that might accrue to
Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future moratorium law or other law
exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or
providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from
civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment; (b) except for
notices expressly provided for herein or in the Indenture, all notices of any
Event of Default or of Mortgagee's intention to accelerate maturity of the
Senior Secured Note Obligations or of Mortgagee's election, to exercise or
actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for hereunder or
23
under the Indenture; and (c) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in
inverse order of alienation; and (d) any and all conflicts with any provisions
of any of the Senior Secured Note Documents. If any law referred to in this
Mortgage and now in force, of which Mortgagor or its successor or successors
might take advantage despite the provisions hereof, shall hereafter be repealed
or cease to be in force, such law shall thereafter be deemed not to constitute
any part of the contract herein contained or to preclude the operation or
application of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 7.15 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Mortgagee shall
have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or
under the Indenture and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon same
for any reason, Mortgagee shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such
an event, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions
with respect to the Senior Secured Note Obligations, this Mortgage, the
Indenture, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies,
recourses and powers of Mortgagee shall continue as if same had never been
invoked.
SECTION 7.16 Application of Proceeds. After the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of and any
other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, operating or other use of the
Mortgaged Property shall be applied by Mortgagee (or the receiver, if one is
appointed), to the extent that funds are so available therefrom, in accordance
with the provisions of the Indenture or, if not so provided, then in the
following order of priority, except to the extent otherwise required by
applicable law:
(a) first, to the payment of the reasonable and necessary costs
and expenses of taking possession of the Mortgaged Property and of holding,
using, leasing, repairing, improving the same, including reasonable (i)
receivers' fees, (ii) court costs, (iii) attorneys' and accountants' fees, (iv)
costs of advertisement and title search fees, and (v) the payment of any and all
Impositions, Liens, security interests or other rights, titles or interests
equal or superior to the Lien and security interest of this Mortgage (except
those to which the Mortgaged Property has been sold subject to and without in
any way implying Mortgagee's prior consent to the creation thereof);
(b) second, to the payment of all amounts other than the Principal
Balance and accrued but unpaid interest which may be due to Mortgagee or
Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder or under the other Senior Secured
Note Documents, together with interest thereon as provided herein;
(c) third, to the payment of the Senior Secured Note Obligations
in such order and manner as Mortgagee determines in its sole discretion; and
(d) fourth, to Mortgagor or as otherwise required by any
Governmental Requirement. Mortgagor shall be liable for any deficiency
remaining.
SECTION 7.17 Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Mortgagee shall have all
of the rights, remedies and recourses with respect to the Personalty and the
Fixtures afforded to it by the Applicable UCC, including, without limitation,
the right to take possession of the Personalty and the Fixtures or any part
thereof, and to take such other measures as Mortgagee
24
may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Personalty
and the Fixtures, in addition to, and not in limitation of, the other rights,
remedies and recourses afforded by this Mortgage and the other Senior Secured
Note Documents.
SECTION 7.18 Indemnity. In connection with any action taken by
Mortgagee or any other Indemnitee pursuant to this Mortgage, neither Mortgagee,
or any Indemnified Parties shall be liable for any Loss sustained by Mortgagor
resulting from (a) an assertion that Mortgagee or an Indemnified Party has
received funds from the operations of the Mortgaged Property claimed by third
Persons, or (b) any act or omission of Mortgagee, or any such Indemnified Party
in administering, managing, operating or controlling the Mortgaged Property,
including in either case such Loss as may result from the ordinary negligence of
Mortgagee or Indemnified Party, or which may result from strict liability,
whether under applicable law or otherwise, unless such Loss is caused by the
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Person, nor shall
Mortgagee and or an Indemnified Party be obligated to perform or discharge any
obligation, duty or liability of Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall and does hereby
agree to indemnify Mortgagee, and each of the other Holders and their respective
Indemnified Parties for, and to hold Mortgagee, and each such other Holder and
each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all Losses which may or might be
incurred by Mortgagee, or any of such other Holders or Indemnified Parties by
reason of this Mortgage or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder,
including such Losses as may result from the ordinary negligence of Mortgagee,
or any other Holder or an Indemnified Party, or which may result from strict
liability, whether under applicable law or otherwise, unless such Loss is caused
by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Person. WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO MORTGAGEE AND EACH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO LOSSES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY
OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF MORTGAGEE, SUCH INDEMNIFIED
PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON. Should Mortgagee, and/or other Holder or an
Indemnified Party make any expenditure on account of any such Losses, the amount
thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be a
demand obligation (which obligation Mortgagor hereby expressly promises to pay)
owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee and shall bear interest from the date expended
until paid at the Default Rate, shall be a part of the Senior Secured Note
Obligations and shall be secured by this Mortgage and the other Senior Secured
Note Documents. Mortgagor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all
actions of Mortgagee with respect to the Mortgaged Property taken under this
Mortgage. The liabilities of Mortgagor, as set forth in this Section 7.18, shall
survive the termination of this Mortgage and the payment and performance of the
Senior Secured Note Obligations.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 8.01 Instrument Construed as Mortgage, Etc. This Mortgage may
be construed as a mortgage, deed of trust, chattel mortgage, conveyance,
assignment, security agreement, pledge, financing statement, hypothecation or
contract, or any one or more of them, in order to fully effectuate the liens and
security interests created hereby and the purposes and agreements set forth
herein.
25
SECTION 8.02 Performance at Mortgagor's Expense. The cost and expense
of performing or complying with any and all of the Senior Secured Note
Obligations shall be borne solely by Mortgagor, and no portion of such cost and
expense shall be, in any way or to any extent, credited against any installment
on or portion of the Senior Secured Note Obligations.
SECTION 8.03 Survival of Senior Secured Note Obligations. Each and all
of the Senior Secured Note Obligations shall survive the execution and delivery
of this Mortgage and shall continue in full force and effect until all of the
Senior Secured Note Obligations shall have been fully satisfied.
SECTION 8.04 Further Assurances. Mortgagor, upon the request of
Mortgagee, shall execute, acknowledge, deliver and record and/or file such
further instruments, including financing statements, and do such further acts as
may be reasonably necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively
the purpose of this Mortgage and to subject to the Liens and security interests
hereof any property intended by the terms hereof to be covered hereby, including
any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, betterments or
appurtenances to the then Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 8.05 Notices. All notices or other communications required or
permitted to be given pursuant to this Mortgage shall be in writing and shall be
considered properly given if given in the manner and to the addresses prescribed
by Section 13.02 of the Indenture to the parties and at the addresses set forth
in the first paragraph of this Mortgage, and to the parties at the addresses set
forth in Section 13.02 of the Indenture; provided, however, that (a) service of
notice as required by the laws of any State or Commonwealth in which portions of
the Mortgaged Property may be situated shall for all purposes be deemed
appropriate and sufficient with the giving of such notice thereunder, and (b)
any party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any
other location within the continental United States by the giving of ten (10)
days' notice to the other party in the manner set forth above.
SECTION 8.06 No Waiver. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist, or any
election by Mortgagee not to insist, upon strict performance by Mortgagor of any
of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of the same or of any other terms, provision or condition hereof,
and Mortgagee shall have the right, at any time or times thereafter, to insist
upon strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of such terms, provisions
and conditions. Mortgagee may, in Mortgagee's sole and absolute discretion, (i)
in the case of a Default, determine whether such Default has been cured, and
(ii) in the case of an Event of Default, accept or reject any proposed cure of
an Event of Default. In no event shall any provision of this Mortgage or any
other Senior Secured Note Document which provides that Mortgagee shall have
certain rights and/or remedies only during the continuance of an Event of
Default be construed so as to require Mortgagee to accept a cure of any such
Event of Default. Unless and until Mortgagee accepts any proposed cure of an
Event of Default, such Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing for
purposes of this Mortgage and the other Senior Secured Note Documents.
26
SECTION 8.07 Mortgagee's Right to Perform as Mortgagee's Expenditures.
(a) Mortgagor agrees that if Mortgagor fails to perform any act or
take any action which Mortgagor is required to perform or take hereunder or
under the Indenture or to pay any money which Mortgagor is required to pay
hereunder or under the Indenture, Mortgagee may, after prior notice to Mortgagor
and reasonable opportunity to cure except in cases of emergency, but shall not
be obligated to, perform or cause to be performed such act or take such action
or pay such money.
(b) All costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee (or any
Indemnified Party), including, without limitation, attorneys fees and expenses,
all monies paid by (or on behalf of) Mortgagee and the monetary value of all
services performed by (or on behalf of Mortgagee) in connection with a Default
or Event of Default hereunder or under any other Senior Secured Note Document,
including, without limitation, the (i) the enforcement of any term or provision
of this Mortgage or any other Senior Secured Note Document, (ii) the performance
by Mortgagee of any obligation of Mortgagor under this Mortgage or any other
Senior Secured Note Document if Mortgagee elects to so perform, in its sole and
absolute discretion, and (iii) any action Mortgagee elects to take, in its sole
and absolute discretion, to protect its interest in or the value of the
Mortgaged Property, shall be a demand obligation owing by Mortgagor to
Mortgagee, as the case may be, and to the extent any payment is made to a third
Person, Mortgagee, upon making such payment, shall be subrogated to all of the
rights of the Person receiving such payment. All such costs and expenses, monies
and the monetary value of such services performed shall (x) bear interest at the
Default Rate from the date of such incurrence, payment or performance, as
applicable, until paid, and (y) constitute (together with such interest) a
portion of the Senior Secured Note Obligations and shall be secured by this
Mortgage and all of the other Senior Secured Note Documents. If Mortgagee shall
elect to pay any Imposition or other sums due with reference to the Mortgaged
Property, Mortgagee may do so in reliance on any ▇▇▇▇, statement or assessment
procured from the appropriate Governmental Authority or other issuer thereof.
SECTION 8.08 Successors and Assigns. All of the terms hereof shall
apply to, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their
successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives, and all other Persons
claiming by, through or under them; provided, however, that nothing herein shall
be deemed to imply any right on behalf of Mortgagor to assign its interest in
any of the Mortgaged Property except as may be expressly set forth in the
Indenture.
SECTION 8.09 Severability. This Mortgage is intended to be performed in
accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws and
regulations of applicable Governmental Authorities and the provisions hereof are
intended to be limited to the extent necessary that they will not render this
Mortgage invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or
filed under the provisions of any applicable law. If any provision hereof or the
application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to
any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remainder of this Mortgage
nor the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall be
affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted
by applicable law.
27
SECTION 8.10 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Mortgage 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.
SECTION 8.11 Applicable Law. THIS MORTGAGE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE
MORTGAGED PROPERTY IS LOCATED; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES
AND THE GUARANTEE ARE, BY THEIR TERMS, GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK AS PROVIDED THEREIN, AND, IN THE EVENT THAT IT BECOMES
NECESSARY, IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS MORTGAGE OR OTHERWISE, TO
CONSTRUE OR ENFORCE THE OBLIGATIONS (WHICH OBLIGATIONS ARE SECURED BY THIS
MORTGAGE), THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 8.12 Satisfaction of Prior Encumbrance. To the extent that
proceeds advanced pursuant to the Indenture are used to pay indebtedness secured
by any outstanding Lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against
the Mortgaged Property, such proceeds shall be deemed to 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,
and it is expressly understood that, in consideration of the payment of such
other indebtedness by Mortgagee, Mortgagor hereby waives and releases all
demands and causes of action for offsets and payments to, upon and in connection
with the said indebtedness.
SECTION 8.13 No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Mortgage is
intended to, or shall be construed to, create to any extent and in any manner
whatsoever any partnership, joint venture, or association between Mortgagor and
Mortgagee, or in any way make Mortgagee a co-principal with Mortgagor with
reference to the Mortgaged Property, and any inferences to the contrary are
hereby expressly negated.
SECTION 8.14 Headings. The Article, Section and Subsection headings
hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter,
modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of such Articles, Sections
or Subsections.
SECTION 8.15 Release of Mortgage. If all of the Senior Secured Note
Obligations shall be paid, performed and discharged, and the Indenture and the
Guarantee terminated, Mortgagee shall forthwith cause satisfaction and discharge
of this Mortgage to be entered upon the record, at the sole cost and expense of
Mortgagor, and shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered)
such instruments of satisfaction and discharge as may be appropriate,
28
such instruments to be duly acknowledged and in form for recording, at the sole
cost and expense of Mortgagor.
SECTION 8.16 Limitation of Senior Secured Note Obligations with Respect
to Mortgaged Property.
(a) Neither Mortgagee, nor any Holder shall have any duty to
protect or preserve, or any liability with respect to the protection or
preservation of, any Mortgaged Property or to preserve rights pertaining thereto
other than the duty to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
any Mortgaged Property in its actual possession. Mortgagee shall be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Mortgaged
Property in its possession if such Mortgaged Property is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which Mortgagee accords its own like property.
Mortgagee shall be relieved of all responsibility for any Mortgaged Property in
its possession upon surrendering it, or tendering surrender of it, to Mortgagor
or to such other Person entitled thereto by applicable law.
(b) Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall be construed as
requiring or obligating Mortgagee, or any Holder, and neither Mortgagee, nor any
Holder shall be required or obligated, to (i) make any demand or inquiry as to
the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or present or file any
claim or notice or take any action with respect to any Mortgaged Property or the
monies due or to become due thereunder in connection therewith, (ii) ascertain
or take action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities,
tenders, offers or other matters relating to any Mortgaged Property, whether or
not Mortgagee or any of the other Holders has or is deemed to have knowledge or
notice thereof, (iii) take any necessary steps to preserve rights against any
prior parties with respect to any Mortgaged Property, or (iv) notify Mortgagor
or any other Person of any decline in the value of any Mortgaged Property.
SECTION 8.17 Inconsistency with Indenture. To the fullest extent
possible, the terms and provisions of the Indenture shall be read together with
the terms and provisions of this Mortgage such that the terms and provisions of
this Mortgage shall supplement, rather than conflict with, the terms and
provisions of the Indenture; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event any of the terms or provisions of this Mortgage conflict
with any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture, such that it is
impractical for such terms or provisions to coexist, the terms or provisions of
the Indenture shall govern and control for all purposes; and, provided further,
that the inclusion in this Mortgage of terms and provisions, supplemental rights
or remedies in favor of a secured party but which are not addressed in the
Indenture shall not be deemed to be a conflict with the Indenture and all such
additional terms, provisions, supplemental rights or remedies contained herein
shall be given full force and effect.
SECTION 8.18 Limitation on Interest Payable. It is the intention of the
parties to conform strictly to the usury laws, whether state or federal, that
are applicable to the transaction of which this Mortgage is a part. All
agreements between Mortgagor and Mortgagee or any Holder, whether now existing
or hereafter arising and whether oral or written, are hereby expressly limited
so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to
be paid by Mortgagor for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be
loaned under the Indenture or any other Senior Secured Note Document, or for the
payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in the
Indenture or any other Senior Secured Note
29
Document, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable federal or
state usury laws. If, under any circumstances, fulfillment of any such
provision, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve
exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then the
obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity. If,
under any circumstances, Mortgagor shall have paid an amount of money which is
deemed to be interest and such interest would exceed the highest lawful rate,
such amount that would be excessive interest under applicable usury laws shall
be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing in respect of the
Senior Secured Note Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such
excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal and any other amounts
due hereunder, the excess shall be refunded to Mortgagor. All sums paid or
agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance or detention of the principal under
any extension of credit by Mortgagee (or Holder) shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, and to the extent necessary to preclude exceeding the limit
of validity prescribed by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and
spread from the date of this Mortgage until payment in full of the Senior
Secured Note Obligations so that the actual rate of interest on account of such
principal amounts is uniform throughout the term hereof.
SECTION 8.19 Covenants To Run With the Land. All of the grants,
representations, warranties, undertakings, covenants, terms, provisions and
conditions in this Mortgage shall run with the Land and shall apply to and bind
the successors and assigns of Mortgagor. If there shall be more than one
mortgagor, the covenants, representations and warranties made herein shall be
deemed to be joint and several.
SECTION 8.20 Intentionally omitted.
SECTION 8.21 Defense of Claims. Mortgagor shall promptly notify
Mortgagee in writing of the commencement of any legal proceedings affecting
Mortgagor's title to the Mortgaged Property or Mortgagee's Lien on or security
interest in the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and shall take all such
action, employing attorneys agreeable to Mortgagee, as may be necessary to
preserve Mortgagor's and Mortgagee's rights affected thereby. If Mortgagor fails
or refuses to adequately or vigorously, in the sole judgment of Mortgagee,
defend Mortgagor's or Mortgagee's rights to the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee
may take such action on behalf of and in the name of Mortgagor and at
Mortgagor's expense. Moreover, Mortgagee may take (or cause its agents to take)
such independent action in connection therewith as they may in their discretion
deem proper, including, without limitation, the right to employ independent
counsel and to intervene in any suit affecting the Mortgaged Property. All
costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred by Mortgagee (or its agents)
pursuant to this Section 8.21 or in connection with the defense by Mortgagee of
any claims, demands or litigation relating to Mortgagor, the Mortgaged Property
or the transactions contemplated in this Mortgage shall be paid by Mortgagor on
demand, plus interest thereon from the date of the advance by Mortgagee until
reimbursement of Mortgagee at the Default Rate.
SECTION 8.22 Exculpation Provisions. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IT HAS A DUTY TO READ THIS MORTGAGE; AND AGREES THAT IT
IS CHARGED WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS MORTGAGE; THAT IT HAS
IN FACT READ THIS MORTGAGE AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE AND
KNOWLEDGE OF THE
30
TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF THIS MORTGAGE; THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY
INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE THROUGHOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING
ITS EXECUTION OF THIS MORTGAGE AND HAS RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEY IN
ENTERING INTO THIS MORTGAGE; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF
THIS MORTGAGE RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN SOME
ASPECTS OF THE TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY
FOR SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT
CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS
MORTGAGE ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH
PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT "CONSPICUOUS."
SECTION 8.23 No Merger of Estates. So long as any part of the Senior
Secured Note Obligations remain unpaid, unperformed or undischarged, the fee,
easement and leasehold estates to the Mortgaged Property shall not merge but
rather shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such
estates either in Mortgagor, Mortgagee, any lessee, any third-party purchaser or
otherwise.
SECTION 8.24 Release upon Transfer or Sale.
(a) All Mortgaged Property sold or otherwise transferred in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture shall be sold or otherwise
transferred, as the case may be, free and clear of this Mortgage. In connection
with any such sale or other transfer, the Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to
Mortgagor, or to such person or persons as Mortgagor shall reasonably designate,
a satisfaction of mortgage and such other documents as Mortgagor may reasonably
request to evidence the release of this Mortgage with respect to such Mortgaged
Property, as well as a release of any collateral assignments or other documents,
instruments or filings in favor of Mortgagee that burden such Mortgaged
Property.
(b) In addition, and not in limitation of the foregoing, any
Mortgaged Property (other than the Real Estate) that also constitutes Collateral
under any Security Agreement shall automatically be released from this Mortgage
in the event that such Mortgaged Property is released from the security interest
created by such Security Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof and the
Indenture.
SECTION 8.25 Counterparts. This Mortgage may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of
which, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one single instrument,
except that, to facilitate recordation, portions of Exhibit A hereto which
describe properties situated in counties other than the county in which this
Mortgage is to be recorded may be omitted.
