b.      keep the Premises in good condition and repair, without waste, and free from mechanics’, materialmen’s or like liens or claims or other liens or claims for lien (subject to Mortgagor’s right to contest liens as permitted by the terms of Paragraph 28 hereof);

d.      pay when due any indebtedness which may be secured by a permitted lien or charge on the Premises on a parity with, superior to or inferior to the lien hereof, and upon request exhibit satisfactory evidence of the discharge of such lien to the Mortgagee (subject to Mortgagor’s right to contest liens as permitted by the terms of Paragraph 28 hereof);

e.      complete within a reasonable time any Improvements now or at any time in the process of erection upon the Premises;

 

4


f.      comply with all requirements of law, municipal ordinances or restrictions and covenants of record with respect to the Premises and the use thereof;

g.      obtain and maintain in foil force and effect, and abide by and satisfy the material terms and conditions of, all material permits, licenses, registrations and other authorizations with or granted by any governmental authorities that may be required from time to time with respect to the performance of its obligations under this Mortgage;

4.      Intentionally Omitted

5.      Intentionally Omitted.

6.      Insurance.

a.      Mortgagor shall at all times keep all buildings, improvements, fixtures and articles of personal property now or hereafter situated on the Premises insured against

 

5


loss or damage by fire and such other hazards as may reasonably be required by Mortgagee, in accordance with the terms, coverages and provisions described on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof, and such other insurance as Mortgagee may from time to time reasonably require. Unless Mortgagor provides Mortgagee evidence of the insurance coverages required hereunder, Mortgagee may purchase insurance at Mortgagor’s expense to cover Mortgagee’s interest in the Premises upon prior written notice to Mortgagor. The insurance may, but need not, protect Mortgagor’s interest. The coverages that Mortgagee purchases may not pay any claim that Mortgagor makes or any claim that is made against Mortgagor in connection with the Premises. Mortgagor may later cancel any insurance purchased by Mortgagee, but only after providing Mortgagee with evidence that Mortgagor has obtained insurance as required by this Mortgage. If Mortgagee purchases insurance for the Premises, Mortgagor will be responsible for the costs of such insurance, including, without limitation, interest and any other charges which Mortgagee may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Indebtedness. The cost of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Mortgagor may be able to obtain on its own.

b.      Mortgagor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained hereunder unless Mortgagee is included thereon as the loss payee or an additional insured as applicable, under a standard mortgage clause acceptable to Mortgagee and such separate insurance is otherwise acceptable to Mortgagee.

c.      In the event of loss, Mortgagor shall give prompt notice thereof to Mortgagee, who, if such loss exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (“Threshold”), shall have the sole and absolute right to make proof of loss. If such loss exceeds the Threshold or if such loss is equal to or less than the Threshold and the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the immediately succeeding sentence are not satisfied, then Mortgagee, solely and directly shall receive such payment for loss from each insurance company concerned. If and only if (i) such loss is equal to or less than the Threshold, (ii) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists, and (iii) Mortgagee determines that the work required to complete the repair or restoration of the Premises necessitated by such loss can be completed no later than six (6) months prior to the Termination Date, then Mortgagee shall endorse to Mortgagor any such payment and Mortgagor may collect such payment directly. Mortgagee shall have the right, at its option and in its sole discretion, to apply any insurance proceeds received by Mortgagee pursuant to the terms of this paragraph, after the payment of all of Mortgagee’s expenses, either (i) on account of the Indebtedness, irrespective of whether such principal balance is then due and payable, or (ii) to the restoration or repair of the property damaged as provided in subparagraph d below; provided, however, that Mortgagee hereby agrees to permit the application of such proceeds to the restoration or repair of the damaged property, subject to the provisions of subparagraph d below, if (i) Mortgagee has received satisfactory evidence that such restoration or repair shall be completed no later than the date that is six (6) months prior to the Termination Date, and (ii) no Event of Default, or Unmatured Event of Default, then exists. If insurance proceeds are made available to Mortgagor by Mortgagee as hereinafter provided,

 

6


Mortgagor shall repair, restore or rebuild the damaged or destroyed portion of the Premises so that the condition and value of the Premises are substantially the same as the condition and value of the Premises prior to being damaged or destroyed. In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any insurance policies then in force shall pass to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale.

d.      If insurance proceeds are made available by Mortgagee to Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall comply with the following conditions:

i.      Before commencing to repair, restore or rebuild following damage to, or destruction of, all or a portion of the Premises, whether by fire or other casualty, Mortgagor shall obtain from Mortgagee its approval of all site and building plans and specifications pertaining to such repair, restoration or rebuilding, such approval by Mortgagee not to be unreasonably withheld.

ii.     Prior to each payment or application of any insurance proceeds to the repair or restoration of the improvements upon the Premises to the extent permitted in subparagraph c above (which payment or application may be made, at Mortgagee’s option, through an escrow, the terms and conditions of which are satisfactory to Mortgagee and the cost of which is to be borne by Mortgagor), Mortgagee shall be satisfied as to the following:

(a)      no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, has occurred;

(b)      either such Improvements have been fully restored, or the expenditure of money as may be received from such insurance proceeds will be sufficient to repair, restore or rebuild the Premises, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, except the lien of this Mortgage and the Permitted Exceptions, or, if such insurance proceeds shall be insufficient to repair, restore and rebuild the Premises, Mortgagor has deposited with Mortgagee such amount of money which, together with the insurance, proceeds shall be sufficient to restore, repair and rebuild the Premises; and

(c)      prior to each disbursement of any such proceeds, Mortgagee shall be furnished with a statement of Mortgagee’s architect (the cost of which shall be borne by Mortgagor), certifying the extent of the repair and restoration completed to the date thereof, and that such repairs, restoration, and rebuilding have been performed to date in conformity with the plans and specifications approved by Mortgagee and with all statutes, regulations or ordinances (including building and zoning ordinances) affecting the Premises; and Mortgagee shall be furnished with appropriate evidence of payment for labor or materials furnished to the Premises, and total or partial lien waivers substantiating such payments.

 

7


iii.    If Mortgagor shall fail to restore, repair or rebuild the Improvements within a time deemed satisfactory by Mortgagee, then Mortgagee, at its option, and upon written notice to Mortgagor, may (a) commence and perform all necessary acts to restore, repair or rebuild the said Improvements for or on behalf of Mortgagor, or (b) declare an Event of Default. If insurance proceeds shall exceed the amount necessary to complete the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Improvements, such excess shall be applied on account of the Indebtedness irrespective of whether such Indebtedness is then due and payable without payment of any premium or penalty.

7.      Condemnation.  If all or any part of the Premises are damaged, taken or acquired, either temporarily or permanently, in any condemnation proceeding, or by exercise of the right of eminent domain, the amount of any award or other payment for such taking or damages made in consideration thereof, to the extent of the full amount of the remaining unpaid Indebtedness, is hereby assigned to Mortgagee, who is empowered to collect and receive the same and to give proper receipts therefor in the name of Mortgagor and the same shall be paid forthwith to Mortgagee. Such award or monies shall be applied on account of the Indebtedness, irrespective of whether such Indebtedness is then due and payable and, at any time from and after the taking Mortgagee may declare the whole of the balance of the Indebtedness to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph to the contrary, if any condemnation or taking of less than the entire Premises occurs and provided that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists, and if such partial condemnation, in the reasonable discretion of Mortgagee, has no material adverse effect on the operation or value of the Premises, then the award or payment for such taking or consideration for damages resulting therefrom may be collected and received by Mortgagor, and Mortgagee hereby agrees that in such event it shall not declare the Indebtedness to be due and payable, if it is not otherwise then due and payable.

8.      Stamp Tax.  If, by the laws of the United States of America, or of any state or political subdivision having jurisdiction over Mortgagor, any tax is due or becomes due in respect of the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall pay such tax in the manner required by any such law. Mortgagor further agrees to reimburse Mortgagee for any sums which Mortgagee may expend by reason of the imposition of any such tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor shall not be required to pay any income or franchise taxes of Mortgagee.

9.      Assignment of Rents and Leases.  Mortgagor irrevocably assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in, to and under: (a) all present and future leases of the Property or any portion thereof, all licenses and agreements relating to the management, leasing or operation of the Property or any portion thereof, and all other agreements of any kind relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof, whether such leases, licenses and agreements are now existing or entered into after the date hereof (“Leases”); and (b) the rents, issues, deposits and profits of the Premises, including, without limitation, all amounts payable and all rights and benefits accruing to Mortgagor under the Leases (“Payments”). The term “Leases” shall also include all guarantees of and security for the tenants’ performance thereunder, and all amendments, extensions, renewals or modifications thereto which are permitted hereunder. This is a present and absolute assignment, not an assignment for security

 

8


purposes only, and Mortgagee’s right to the Leases and Payments is not contingent upon, and may be exercised without possession of, the Premises.

10.      Effect of Extensions of Time and Other Changes.  If the payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof is extended or varied, if any part of any security for the payment of the Indebtedness is released, if the rate of interest charged under the Note is changed or if the time for payment thereof is extended or varied, all persons now or at any time hereafter liable therefor, or interested in the Premises or having an interest in Mortgagor, shall be held to assent to such extension, variation, release or change and their liability and the lien and all of the provisions hereof shall continue in full force, any right of recourse against all such persons being expressly reserved by Mortgagee, notwithstanding such extension, variation, release or change.

11.      Effect of Changes in Laws Regarding Taxation.  If any law is enacted after the date hereof requiring (a) the deduction of any lien on the Premises from the value thereof for the purpose of taxation or (b) the imposition upon Mortgagee of the payment of the whole or any part of the Taxes, charges or liens herein required to be paid by Mortgagor, or (c) a change in the method of taxation of mortgages or debts secured by mortgages or Mortgagee’s interest in the Premises, or the manner of collection of taxes, so as to affect this Mortgage or the Indebtedness or the holders thereof, then Mortgagor, upon demand by Mortgagee, shall pay such Taxes or charges, or reimburse Mortgagee therefor; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall not be deemed to be required to pay any income or franchise taxes of Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the opinion of counsel for Mortgagee it is or may be unlawful to require Mortgagor to make such payment or the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by law, then Mortgagee may declare all of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable.

12.      Mortgagee’s Performance of Defaulted Acts and Expenses Incurred by Mortgagee.  If an Event of Default has occurred, Mortgagee may, but need not, make any payment or perform any act herein required of Mortgagor in any form and manner deemed expedient by Mortgagee, and may, but need not, make full or partial payments of principal or interest on prior encumbrances, if any, and purchase, discharge, compromise or settle any tax lien or other prior lien or title or claim thereof, or redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture affecting the Premises or consent to any tax or assessment or cure any default of Mortgagor in any lease of the Premises. All monies paid for any of the purposes herein authorized and all expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith; including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any other monies advanced by Mortgagee in regard to any tax referred to in Paragraph 8 above or to protect the Premises or the lien hereof, shall be so much additional Indebtedness, and shall become immediately due and payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, upon demand, and with interest thereon accruing from the date of such demand until paid at the applicable interest rate charged during an Event of Default pursuant to the Credit Agreement (“Default Rate”). In addition to the foregoing, any costs, expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Mortgagee in connection with (a) sustaining the lien of this Mortgage or its priority, (b) protecting or enforcing any of Mortgagee’s rights hereunder, (c) recovering any Indebtedness, (d) any litigation or proceedings affecting the Note, this Mortgage, any of the other Loan Documents or the Premises, including without limitation, bankruptcy and probate proceedings of Mortgagor, or (e) preparing for the commencement, defense or participation in any threatened litigation or proceedings affecting the Note, this Mortgage, any of the other Loan Documents or

 

9


the Premises, shall be so much additional Indebtedness, and shall become immediately due and payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, upon demand, and with interest thereon accruing from the date of such demand until paid at the Default Rate, provided such costs, expenses and fees were not the result of Mortgagee’s negligent conduct or actions. The interest accruing under this Paragraph 12 shall be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, and shall be additional Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by this Mortgage. Mortgagee’s failure to act shall never be considered as a waiver of any right accruing to Mortgagee on account of any Event of Default. Should any amount paid out or advanced by Mortgagee hereunder, or pursuant to any agreement executed by Mortgagor in connection with the Loan, be used directly or indirectly to pay off, discharge or satisfy, in whole or in part, any lien or encumbrance upon the Premises or any part thereof, then Mortgagee shall be subrogated to any and all rights, equal or superior titles, liens and equities, owned or claimed by any owner or holder of said outstanding liens, charges and indebtedness, regardless of whether said liens, charges and indebtedness are acquired by assignment or have been released of record by the holder thereof upon payment.

13.      Security Agreement.  Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree that this Mortgage shall constitute a Security Agreement within the meaning of the Code with respect to (a) all sums at any time on deposit for the benefit of Mortgagor or held by the Mortgagee (whether deposited by or on behalf of Mortgagor or anyone else) pursuant to any of the provisions of this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, and (b) with respect to any personal property included in the granting clauses of this Mortgage,, which personal property may not be deemed to be affixed to the Premises or may not constitute a “fixture” (within the meaning of Section 9-313 of the Code) (which property is hereinafter referred to as “Personal Property”), and all replacements of, substitutions for, additions to, and the proceeds thereof (all of said Personal Property and the replacements, substitutions and additions thereto and the proceeds thereof being sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as “Collateral”), and that a security interest in and to the Collateral is hereby granted to the Mortgagee, and the Collateral and all of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest therein are hereby assigned to Mortgagee, all to secure payment of the Indebtedness. All of the provisions contained in this Mortgage pertain and apply to the Collateral as fully and to the same extent as to any other property comprising the Premises; and the following provisions of this Paragraph 13 shall not limit the applicability of any other provision of this Mortgage but shall be in addition thereto:

a.      Mortgagor (being the Debtor as that term is used in the Code) is and will be the true and lawful owner of the Collateral, subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the lien hereof, other liens and encumbrances benefiting Mortgagee and no other party, and liens and encumbrances, if any, expressly permitted by the other Loan Documents.

b.      The Collateral is to be used by Mortgagor solely for business purposes or as provided in the Credit Agreement.

c.      The Collateral will be kept at the Real Estate and, except for Obsolete Collateral (as hereinafter defined), will not be removed therefrom without the consent of Mortgagee (being the Secured Party as that term is used in the Code). The Collateral may be affixed to the Real Estate but will not be affixed to any other real estate.

 

10


d.      The only persons having any interest in the Premises are Mortgagor, Mortgagee and holders of interests, if any, expressly permitted hereby or as provided in the Credit Agreement.

e.      No financing statement (other than financing statements showing Mortgagee as the sole secured party, or with respect to liens or encumbrances, if any, expressly permitted hereby) covering any of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof is on file in any public office except pursuant hereto and Mortgagor, at its own cost and expense, upon demand, will furnish to Mortgagee such further information and will execute and deliver to Mortgagee such financing statements and other documents in form satisfactory to Mortgagee and will do all such acts as Mortgagee may request at any time or from time to time or as may be necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain a perfected security interest in the Collateral as security for the Indebtedness, subject to no other liens or encumbrances, other than liens or encumbrances benefiting Mortgagee and no other party and liens and encumbrances (if any) expressly permitted hereby; and Mortgagor will pay the cost of filing or recording such financing statements or other documents, and this instrument, in all public offices wherever filing or recording is deemed by Mortgagee to be desirable; and Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to file any such financing statements in all such public offices.

f.      Upon an Event of Default hereunder, Mortgagee shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Code, including, without limitation, the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and for that purpose, so far as Mortgagor can give authority therefor, with or without judicial process, may enter (if this can be done without breach of the peace) upon any place which the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and remove the same therefrom (provided that if the Collateral is affixed to real estate, such removal shall be subject to the conditions stated in the Code); and Mortgagee shall be entitled to hold, maintain, preserve and prepare the Collateral for sale, until disposed of, or may propose to retain the Collateral subject to Mortgagor’s right of redemption in satisfaction of Mortgagor’s obligations, as provided in the Code. Mortgagee may render the Collateral unusable without removal and may dispose of the Collateral on the Premises. Mortgagee may require Mortgagor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee for its possession at a place to be designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Mortgagee will give Mortgagor at least ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed, by certified United States mail or equivalent, postage prepaid, to the address of Mortgagor hereinafter set forth at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. Mortgagee may buy at any public sale. Mortgagee may buy at private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations. Any such sale may be held in conjunction with any foreclosure sale of the Premises. If Mortgagee so elects, the Premises and the Collateral may be sold as one lot. The net proceeds realized upon any such disposition, after deduction for the expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Mortgagee, shall be applied against the Indebtedness in such order or manner

 

11


as Mortgagee shall select. Mortgagee will account to Mortgagor for any surplus realized on such disposition.

g.      The terms and provisions contained in this Paragraph 13, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the meanings and be construed as provided in the Code.

h.      This Mortgage is intended to be a financing statement within the purview of Section 9-402(6) of the Code with respect to the Collateral and the goods described herein, which goods are or may become fixtures relating to the Premises. The addresses of Mortgagor (Debtor) and Mortgagee (Secured Party) are hereinbelow set forth. This Mortgage is to be filed for recording with the Recorder of Deeds of the county or counties where the Premises are located. Mortgagor is the record owner of the Premises.

i.      To the extent permitted by applicable law, the security interest created hereby is specifically intended to cover all Leases between Mortgagor or its agents as lessor, and various tenants named therein, as lessee, including all extended terms and all extensions and renewals of the terms thereof, as well as any amendments to or replacement of said Leases, together with all of the right, title and interest of Mortgagor, as lessor thereunder.

j.      Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee as follows: (i) Mortgagor’s chief executive office is located at the address set forth in Paragraph 26; (ii) Mortgagor is a limited liability company organized solely under the laws of the State of Delaware and qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; (iii) all organizational documents of Mortgagor delivered to Mortgagee are complete and accurate in every respect; and (iv) Mortgagor’s legal name is exactly as shown on page one of this Mortgage.

k.      Mortgagor covenants not to change its name, its chief executive offices or the jurisdiction in which it is organized without giving Mortgagee at least sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof.

14.    Restrictions on Transfer.

a.      Mortgagor, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, shall not effect, suffer or permit any Prohibited Transfer (as defined herein). Any conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance or alienation (or any agreement to do any of the foregoing) of any of the following properties or interests shall constitute a “Prohibited Transfer”:

i.      The Premises or any part thereof or interest therein, excepting only sales or other dispositions of Collateral (herein called “Obsolete Collateral”) no longer useful in connection with the operation of the Premises, provided that prior to the sale or other disposition thereof, such Obsolete Collateral has been replaced by Collateral of at least equal value and utility which is subject to the lien hereof with the same priority as with respect to the Obsolete Collateral; or

 

12


ii.      All or any part of the managing member or manager interest, as the case may be, in Mortgagor.

in each case whether any such conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, encumbrance or alienation is effected directly, indirectly (including the nominee agreement), voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 14 shall not apply (i) to liens securing the Indebtedness, (ii) to the lien of current taxes and assessments not in default, (iii) to any transfers of the Premises, or part thereof, or interest therein, or any beneficial interests, or shares of stock or partnership or joint venture interests, as the case may be, by or on behalf of an owner thereof who is deceased or declared judicially incompetent, to such owner’s heirs, legatees, devisees, executors, administrators, estate or personal representatives, or (iv) to leases permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents, if any.

b.      In determining whether or not to make the Loan, Mortgagee evaluated the background and experience of Mortgagor and its partners/members/officers in owning and operating property such as the Premises, found it acceptable arid relied and continues to rely upon same as the means of maintaining the value of the Premises which is Mortgagee’s security for the Note. Mortgagor and its partners/members/officers are well experienced in borrowing money and owning and operating property such as the Premises, were ably represented by a licensed attorney at law in the negotiation and documentation of the Loan and bargained at arm’s length and without duress of any kind for all of the terms and conditions of the Loan, including this provision. Mortgagor recognizes that Mortgagee is entitled to keep its loan portfolio at current interest rates by either making new loans at such rates or collecting assumption fees and/or increasing the interest rate on a loan, the security for which is purchased by a party other than the original Mortgagor. Mortgagor further recognizes that any secondary junior financing placed upon the Premises (a) may divert funds which would otherwise be used to pay the Note; (b) could result in acceleration and foreclosure by any such junior encumbrances which would force Mortgagee to take measures and incur expenses to protect its security; (c) would detract from the value of the Premises should Mortgagee come into possession thereof with the intention of selling same; and (d) would impair Mortgagee’s right to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure, as a foreclosure by Mortgagee would be necessary to clear the title to the Premises. In accordance with the foregoing and for the purposes of (i) protecting Mortgagee’s security, both of repayment and of value of the Premises; (ii) giving Mortgagee the full benefit of its bargain and contract with Mortgagor; (iii) allowing Mortgagee to raise the interest rate and collect assumption fees; and (iv) keeping the Premises free of subordinate financing liens, Mortgagor agree that if this Paragraph 14 is deemed a restraint on alienation, that it is a reasonable one.

15.    Intentionally Omitted.

16.    Events of Default; Acceleration.  Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” for purposes of this Mortgage:

a.      Mortgagor fails to perform or cause to be performed any other obligation or observe any other condition, covenant, term, agreement or provision required to be

 

13


performed or observed by Mortgagor under the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that if such failure by its nature can be cured, then so long as the continued operation and safety of the Premises, and the priority, validity and enforceability of the liens created by the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents and the value of the Premises are not impaired, threatened or jeopardized, then Mortgagor shall have a period (“Cure Period”) of thirty (30) days after Mortgagor obtains actual knowledge of such failure or receives written notice of such failure to cure the same and an Event of Default shall not be deemed to exist during the Cure Period, provided further that if Mortgagor commences to cure such failure during the Cure Period and is diligently and in good faith attempting to effect such cure, the Cure Period shall be extended for thirty (30) additional days, but in no event shall the Cure Period be longer than sixty (60) days in the aggregate;

b.      Mortgagor sends a written notice to Mortgagee pursuant to 42 Pa. C.S. §8143(c) which purports in any manner to limit the Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and to release the obligation of Mortgagee to make any additional advances to Mortgagor.

c.      the existence of any inaccuracy or untruth in any material respect in any representation or warranty contained in this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or of any statement or certification as to facts delivered to Mortgagee by Mortgagor or any guarantor of the Note;

d.      the occurrence of a Prohibited Transfer; or

e.      the occurrence of an “Event of Default” and the passage of any cure period as provided under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

If an Event of Default occurs, Mortgagee may, at its option, declare the whole of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable without further notice to Mortgagor, with interest thereon accruing from the date of such Event of Default until paid at the Default Rate.

17.    Foreclosure; Expense of Litigation; Confession of Judgment.

a.      Mortgagee may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note to be due and payable immediately, whereupon the Indebtedness shall become immediately due and payable. Thereafter, the default may be cured only by the payment of the entire Indebtedness and the prepayment fee pursuant to the provisions of the Note.

b.      Mortgagee may (i) institute and maintain an action of mortgage foreclosure against any of the Premises, through judicial proceedings or by advertisement, at the option of Mortgagee, pursuant to the applicable statutes, ordinances, or rules of civil procedure, (ii) institute and maintain an action on the Indebtedness and Obligations, (iii) have judgment entered pursuant to any power to confess judgment contained in the Note or the Mortgage, (iv) sell or cause to be sold any of the Premises at public sale, and convey the same to the purchaser in accordance with said statutes in a single parcel or in several parcels at the option of Mortgagee, or (v) take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of any document evidencing or securing the

 

14


Indebtedness or Obligations as the law may allow. Mortgagee may proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution, thereon for all sums due under subsection (a) of this Section, together with interest on such sums as provided in the Note, all costs of suit and an attorneys commission for fees and expenses actually incurred. INTEREST AT A RATE EQUAL TO THE DEFAULT RATE AS DEFINED IN THE NOTE SHALL BE DUE ON ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED BY MORTGAGEE FROM THE DATE OF JUDGMENT UNTIL ACTUAL PAYMENT IS MADE OF THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE JUDGMENT BY THE SHERIFF OR OTHERWISE. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE MORTGAGOR AND THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE MORTGAGEE HEREUNDER SHALL CONTINUE AFTER AND SURVIVE THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OBLIGATION THIS MORTGAGE SECURES; IT BEING THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT SUCH RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT MERGE INTO OR BE EXTINGUISHED BY ANY SUCH JUDGMENT BUT SHALL CONTINUE UNTIL ALL SUMS SECURED HEREBY HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL.

c.      Mortgagee may, without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation under any document evidencing or securing the Indebtedness or Obligations or under any lease or waiving any default: (i) collect any or all of the rents, including any rents past due and unpaid, (ii) perform any obligation or exercise any right or remedy of Mortgagor under any lease, or (iii) enforce any obligation of any tenant of any of the Premises. Mortgagee shall not be obligated to do any of the foregoing, even if Mortgagee may have performed any obligation or exercised any remedy of landlord or have enforced any obligation of a tenant. Mortgagee may exercise any right under this subsection (c) whether or not Mortgagee shall have entered into possession of any of the Premises, and nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Mortgagee a “mortgagee in possession” unless Mortgagee shall have entered into and shall remain in actual possession of the Premises. Mortgagor hereby authorizes and instructs each and every present and future tenant of any of the Premises to pay all rents directly to Mortgagee and to perform all other obligations of that tenant for the direct benefit of Mortgagee as if Mortgagee were the landlord under the lease with that tenant immediately upon receipt of a demand by Mortgagee to make such payment or perform such obligations. No tenant shall have any responsibility to ascertain whether such demand is permitted hereunder or whether an Event of Default shall have occurred; Mortgagor hereby waives any right, claim or demand it may now or hereafter have against any such tenant by reason of such payment of rents or performance of obligations to Mortgagee; and any such payment or performance to Mortgagee shall discharge the obligations of the tenant to make such payment or performance to Mortgagor. Mortgagor agrees to indemnify Mortgagee and hold Mortgagee harmless from any and all liability under any lease and from any and all claims and demands which may be asserted against Mortgagee by reason of any alleged obligations to perform any provision of any lease, except as to Mortgagee’s own negligence or willful misconduct.

d.      Mortgagee may, without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation under any document evidencing or securing the Indebtedness or Obligations or under any lease or waiving any default, enter upon and take possession of any of the Premises, with or without legal action and by force if necessary, or have a receiver appointed without proof

 

15


of depreciation or inadequacy of the value of the Premises or other security or proof of the insolvency of Mortgagor. Mortgagee or said receiver may manage and operate any of the Premises; make, cancel, enforce or modify leases; obtain and evict tenants; establish or change the amount of any rents; and perform any acts which Mortgagee deems proper to protect the security of this Mortgage. After deduction of all costs and expenses of operation and management of the Premises and of collection of the rents (including attorneys fees actually incurred, administration expenses, management fees and brokers commissions), Mortgagee may apply the rents received by Mortgagee to the payment of any or all of the following, in such order and amounts as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect: liens on any of the Premises; taxes, claims, insurance premiums, and other carrying charges; invoices of persons who have supplied goods or services to or for the benefit of any of the Premises; costs and expenses of maintenance, repair, restoration, alteration or improvement of any of the Premises; or any amount outstanding on the Indebtedness and Obligations. Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion, determine the method by which, and extent to which, the rents will be collected and obligations of tenants enforced; and Mortgagee may waive or fail to enforce any right or remedy of the landlord under a lease. Mortgagee shall not be accountable for any rents or other sums it does not actually receive. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact to perform all acts which Mortgagor is required or permitted to perform under any and all leases.

e.      CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT.      FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE NOTE OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, MORTGAGOR IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS ANY PROTHONOTARY, CLERK OF COURT OR ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE, TO APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST MORTGAGOR, AS WELL AS AGAINST ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER, BY OR THROUGH MORTGAGOR, AND IN FAVOR OF MORTGAGEE, ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, AS OF ANY TERM, PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE, WITH OR WITHOUT DECLARATION, FOR POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF THE PREMISES (WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF FILING ANY BOND AND WITHOUT ANY STAY OF EXECUTION OR APPEAL) FOR WHICH THIS INSTRUMENT (OR A COPY THEREOF VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT) SHALL BE A SUFFICIENT WARRANT; WHEREUPON, APPROPRIATE PROCESS TO OBTAIN POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF THE PREMISES (INCLUDING LEVY AND EXECUTION) MAY BE ISSUED FORTHWITH, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER, MORTGAGOR RELEASING AND AGREEING TO RELEASE MORTGAGEE AND SUCH ATTORNEYS FROM ALL ERRORS AND DEFECTS WHATSOEVER OF A PROCEDURAL NATURE IN ENTERING SUCH JUDGMENT OR IN CAUSING SUCH WRIT OR PROCESS TO BE ISSUED OR IN ANY PROCEEDING THEREON OR CONCERNING THE SAME, PROVIDED THAT MORTGAGEE SHALL HAVE FILED IN SUCH ACTION AN AFFIDAVIT MADE BY SOMEONE ON MORTGAGEE’S BEHALF SETTING FORTH THE FACTS NECESSARY TO AUTHORIZE THE ENTRY OF SUCH JUDGMENT ACCORDING TO THE TERMS OF THIS INSTRUMENT, OF WHICH FACTS SUCH AFFIDAVIT

 

16


SHALL BE PRIMA FACIE EVIDENCE; AND IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER ANY SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN COMMENCED, THE SAME SHALL BE DISCONTINUED, MARKED SATISFIED OF RECORD OR BE TERMINATED, OK POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES IS RESTORED TO MORTGAGOR OR ANYONE CLAIMING UNDER, BY OR THROUGH MORTGAGOR, MORTGAGEE MAY, WHENEVER AND AS OFTEN AS MORTGAGEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO AGAIN TAKE POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, BRING ONE OR MORE FURTHER CONFESSIONS IN THE MANNER SET FORTH ABOVE TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, AND THE AUTHORITY AND POWER ABOVE GIVEN TO ANY SUCH ATTORNEY SHALL EXTEND TO ALL SUCH FURTHER CONFESSIONS.

f.      Mortgagee may obtain a receiver to manage the Premises and collect the rents, issues, profits and income therefrom.

g.      Mortgagee may disaffirm and cancel any lease which is subordinate to this Mortgage at any time before the expiration of sixty (60) days after Mortgagee acquires legal title to the Premises by any transfer pursuant to the exercise of a remedy hereunder or otherwise, even though Mortgagee shall have enforced such lease, collected rents thereunder or taken any action that might be deemed by law to constitute an affirmance of the lease. Such disaffirmance shall be made by notice addressed to the tenant at the Premises or, at Mortgagee’s option, such other address as the tenant may have provided to the Mortgagee in writing.

h.      Mortgagee may take possession of any of the Premises and may sell such Premises pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and exercise such other rights and remedies with respect to such Premises as may be provided by said Code.

i.      Mortgagee may apply on account of the Indebtedness and Obligations the balance of the accumulated installment payments made by Mortgagor for taxes, water and sewer rents and insurance premiums, and all other items for which Mortgagee has made payment.

j.      Upon the acceleration of the maturity of the Indebtedness as herein provided, a tender or payment of the amount necessary to satisfy the entire Indebtedness and Obligations made at any time prior to foreclosure sale by Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute an evasion of the prepayment terms of the Indebtedness and be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment thereunder, and Mortgagee shall not be obligated to accept any such tender of payment unless such tender of payment includes the additional prepayment fee required under the terms of the. prepayment provisions contained in the Note.

k.      Mortgagee may lease the Premises or any part thereof.

 

17


l.      Mortgagee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance of this Mortgage, an injunction against the violation hereof and/or the appointment of a receiver.

18.    Intentionally Omitted.

19.    Appointment of Receiver.  Upon or at any time after the filing of a complaint to foreclose this Mortgage, the court in which such complaint is filed shall, upon petition by Mortgagee, appoint a receiver for the Premises in accordance with the Pennsylvania statutes. Such appointment may be made either before or after sale, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor at the time of application for such receiver and without regard to the value of the Premises or whether the same shall be then occupied as a homestead or not and Mortgagee hereunder or any other holder of the Note may be appointed as such receiver. Such receiver shall have power to collect the rents, issues and profits of the Premises (i) during the pendency of such foreclosure suit, (ii) in case of a sale and a deficiency, during the full statutory period of redemption, whether there be redemption or not, and (iii) during any further times when Mortgagor, but for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collect such rents, issues and profits. Such receiver also shall have all other powers and rights that may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Premises during said period, including, to the extent permitted by law, the right to lease all or any portion of the Premises for a term that extends beyond the time of such receiver’s possession without obtaining prior court approval of such lease. The court from time to time may authorize the application of the net income received by the receiver in payment of (a) the Indebtedness, or by any decree foreclosing this Mortgage, or any tax, special assessment or other lien which may be or become superior to the lien hereof or of such decree, provided such application is made prior to foreclosure sale, and (b) any deficiency upon a sale and deficiency. Mortgagor hereby specifically waives the right to object to the appointment of a receiver as aforesaid and hereby expressly consents that such appointment may be done without notice to Mortgagor.

20.    Mortgagee’s Right of Possession in Case of Default.  At any time after an Event of Default has occurred and the applicable cure period has passed, Mortgagor shall, upon demand of Mortgagee, surrender to Mortgagee possession of the Premises. Mortgagee, in its discretion, may, with process of law, enter upon and take and maintain possession of all or any part of the Premises, together with all documents, books, records, papers and accounts relating thereto, and may exclude Mortgagor and its employees, agents or servants therefrom, and Mortgagee may then hold, operate, manage and control the Premises, either personally or by its agents. Mortgagee shall have full power to use such measures, legal or equitable, as in its discretion may be deemed proper or necessary to enforce the payment or security of the avails, rents, issues, and profits of the Premises, including actions for the recovery of rent, actions in forcible detainer and actions in distress for rent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mortgagee shall have full power to:

a.      cancel or terminate any lease or sublease for any cause or on any ground which would entitle Mortgagor to cancel the same;

 

18


b.        elect to disaffirm any lease or sublease which is then subordinate to the lien hereof;

c.        extend or modify any then existing leases, and to enter into new leases, which extensions, modifications and leases may provide for terms to expire, or for options to lessees to extend or renew terms to expire, beyond the Termination Date and beyond the date of the issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale, it being understood and agreed that any such leases, and the options or other such provisions to be contained therein, shall be binding upon Mortgagor and all persons whose interests in the Premises are subject to the lien hereof and upon the purchaser or purchasers at any foreclosure sale, notwithstanding any redemption from sale, discharge of the Indebtedness, satisfaction of any foreclosure judgment, or issuance of any certificate of sale or deed to any purchaser;

d.        make any repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements to the Premises as Mortgagee deems are necessary;

e.        insure and reinsure the Premises and all risks incidental to Mortgagee’s possession, operation and management thereof; and

f.        receive all of such avails, rents, issues and profits; provided, however, Mortgagee will account to Mortgagor for any surplus realized pursuant to Paragraph 13(f).

21.    Application of Income Received by Mortgagee.  Mortgagee, in the exercise of the rights and powers hereinabove conferred upon it, shall have full power to use and apply the avails, rents, issues and profits of the Premises to the payment of or on account of the following, in such order as Mortgagee may determine:

a.        to the payment of the operating expenses of the Premises, including cost of management and leasing thereof (which shall include compensation to Mortgagee and its agent or agents, if management be delegated to an agent or agents, and shall also include lease commissions and other compensation and expenses of seeking and procuring tenants and entering into leases), established claims for damages, if any, and premiums on insurance hereinabove authorized;

b.        to the payment of taxes and special assessments now due or which may hereafter become due on the Premises; and

c.        to the payment of any Indebtedness, including any deficiency which may result from any foreclosure sale.

22.    Intentionally Omitted.

23.    Rights Cumulative.  Each right, power and remedy herein conferred upon Mortgagee is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied, given now or hereafter existing under any of the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, and each and every right, power and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so existing may be

 

19


exercised from time to time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one right, power or remedy shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy, and no delay or omission of Mortgagee in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing hereunder or arising otherwise shall impair any such right, power or remedy, or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or acquiescence therein.

24.    Mortgagee’s Right of Inspection.  Mortgagee and its representatives shall have the right to inspect the Premises and the books and records with respect thereto at all reasonable times upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Mortgagor, and access thereto, subject to the rights of tenants in possession, shall be permitted for that purpose.

25.    Release Upon Payment and Discharge of Mortgagor’s Obligations.  Mortgagee shall release this Mortgage and the lien hereof by proper instrument upon payment and discharge of all Indebtedness, including payment of all reasonable expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the execution of such release.

26.    Notices.  Any notices, communications and waivers under this Mortgage shall be given at the addresses and in the manner provided for in the Credit Agreement.

27.    Waiver of Rights.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner claim or take any advantage of, any stay, exemption or extension law or any so-called “Moratorium Law” now or at any time hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Premises, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provisions herein contained, or to decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; or, after such sale or sales, claim or exercise any rights under any statute now or hereafter in force to redeem the property so sold, or any part thereof, or relating to the marshalling thereof, upon foreclosure sale or other enforcement hereof; and without limiting the foregoing:

a.      Mortgagor will not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any right, power remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to Mortgagee but will suffer and permit the execution of every such right, power and remedy as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted; and

b.      If Mortgagor is a trustee, Mortgagor represents that the provisions of this paragraph (including the waiver of reinstatement and redemption rights) were made at the express direction of Mortgagor’s beneficiaries and the persons having the power of direction over Mortgagor, and are made on behalf of the trust estate of Mortgagor and all beneficiaries of Mortgagor, as well as all other persons mentioned above.

28.    Contests.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Mortgagor shall have the right to contest by appropriate legal proceedings diligently prosecuted any Taxes imposed or assessed upon the Premises or which may be or become a lien thereon and any mechanics’, materialmen’s or other liens or claims for lien upon the Premises (all herein called “Contested Liens”), and no Contested Liens shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, if, but only if:

 

20


a.      Mortgagor shall forthwith give notice of any Contested Lien to Mortgagee at the time the same shall be asserted;

b.       Mortgagor shall either pay under protest or deposit with Mortgagee the full amount (herein called “Lien Amount”) of such Contested Lien, together with such amount as Mortgagee may reasonably estimate as interest or penalties which might arise during the period of contest; provided that in lieu of such payment Mortgagor, may furnish to Mortgagee a bond or title indemnity in such amount and form, and issued by a bond or title insuring company, as may be satisfactory to Mortgagee;

c.      Mortgagor shall diligently prosecute the contest of any Contested Lien by appropriate legal proceedings having the effect of staying the foreclosure or forfeiture of the Premises, and shall permit Mortgagee to be represented in any such contest and shall pay all expenses incurred, in so doing, including reasonable fees and expenses of Mortgagee’s counsel (all of which shall constitute so much additional Indebtedness bearing interest at the Default Rate until paid, and payable upon demand);

d.      Mortgagor shall pay such Contested Lien and all Lien Amounts together with interest and penalties thereon (i) if and to the extent that any such Contested Lien shall be determined materially adverse to Mortgagor, or (ii) forthwith upon demand by Mortgagee if, in the opinion of Mortgagee, and notwithstanding any such contest, the Premises shall be in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed; provided that if Mortgagor shall fail so to do, Mortgagee may, but shall not be required to, pay all such Contested Liens and Lien Amounts and interest and penalties thereon and such other sums as may be necessary in the judgment of the Mortgagee to obtain the release and discharge of such liens; and any amount expended by Mortgagee in so doing shall be so much additional Indebtedness bearing interest at the Default Rate until paid, and payable upon demand; and provided further that Mortgagee may in such case use and apply monies deposited as provided in subsection (b) above and may demand payment upon any bond or title indemnity famished as aforesaid.

29.    Expenses Relating to Note and Mortgage.

a.      Mortgagor will pay all expenses, charges, costs and fees relating to the Loan or necessitated by the terms of the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, Mortgagee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with the negotiation, documentation, administration, servicing and enforcement of the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, all filing, registration and recording fees, all other expenses incident to the execution and acknowledgment of this Mortgage and all federal, state, county and municipal taxes, and other taxes (provided Mortgagor shall not be required to pay any income or franchise taxes of Mortgagee), duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Note and this Mortgage. Mortgagor recognizes that, during the term of this Mortgage, Mortgagee:

i.      May be involved in court or administrative proceedings, including, without restricting the foregoing, foreclosure, probate, bankruptcy, creditors’

 

21


arrangements, insolvency, housing authority and pollution control proceedings of any kind, to which Mortgagee shall be a parry by reason of the Loan Documents or in which the Loan Documents or the Premises are involved directly or indirectly;

ii.      May make preparations following the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder for the commencement of any suit for the foreclosure hereof, which may or may not be actually commenced;

iii.      May make preparations following the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder for, and do work in connection with, Mortgagee’s taking possession of and managing the Premises, which event may or may not actually occur;

iv.      May make preparations for and commence other private or public actions to remedy an Event of Default hereunder, which other actions may or may not be actually commenced;

v.      May enter into negotiations with Mortgagor or any of its agents, employees or attorneys in connection with the existence or curing of any Event of Default hereunder, the sale of the Premises, the assumption of liability for any of the Indebtedness or the transfer of the Premises in lieu of foreclosure; or

vi.      May enter into negotiations with Mortgagor or any of its agents, employees or attorneys pertaining to Mortgagee’s approval of actions taken or proposed to be taken by Mortgagor which approval is required by the terms of this Mortgage.

b.      All expenses, charges, costs and fees described in this Paragraph 29 shall be so much additional Indebtedness, shall bear interest from the date so incurred until paid at the Default Rate and shall be paid, together with said interest, by Mortgagor forthwith upon demand.

30.    Intentionally Omitted.

31.    Statement of Indebtedness.  Mortgagor, within seven days after being so requested by Mortgagee, shall furnish a duly acknowledged written statement setting forth the amount of the debt secured by this Mortgage, the date to which interest has been paid and stating either that no offsets or defenses exist against such debt or, if such offsets or defenses are alleged to exist, the nature thereof.

32.    Further Instruments.  Upon request of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such additional instruments and further assurances of title and shall do or cause to be done all such further acts and things as may reasonably be necessary fully to effectuate the intent of this Mortgage and of the other Loan Documents.

33.    Additional Indebtedness Secured.  All persons and entities with any interest in the Premises or about to acquire any such interest should be aware that this Mortgage secures

 

22


more than the stated principal amount of the Note and interest thereon; this Mortgage secures any and all other amounts which may become due under the Note or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise affecting the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, any and all amounts expended by Mortgagee to operate, manage or maintain the Premises or to otherwise protect the Premises or the lien of this Mortgage.

34.    Indemnity.  Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees that no liability shall be asserted or enforced against Mortgagee in the exercise of the rights and powers granted to Mortgagee in this Mortgage, and Mortgagor hereby expressly waives and releases any such liability. Mortgagor shall indemnify and save Mortgagee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) (collectively, “Claims”) of whatever kind or nature which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Mortgagee at any time by any third party which relate to or arise from: (a) any suit or proceeding (including probate and bankruptcy proceedings), or the threat thereof, in or to which Mortgagee may or does become a party, either as plaintiff or as a defendant, by reason of this Mortgage or for the purpose of protecting the lien of this Mortgage; (b) the offer for sale or sale of all or any portion of the Premises; and (c) the ownership, leasing, use, operation or maintenance of the Premises, if such Claims relate to or arise from actions taken prior to the surrender of possession of the Premises to Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold Mortgagee harmless from and against any Claims directly arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Mortgagee. All costs provided for herein and paid for by Mortgagee shall be so much additional Indebtedness and shall become immediately due and payable upon demand by Mortgagee and with interest thereon from the date incurred by Mortgagee until paid at the Default Rate.

35.    Subordination of Property Manager’s Lien.  Any property management agreement for the Premises entered into hereafter with a property manager shall contain a provision whereby the property manager agrees that any and all mechanics’ lien rights that the property manager or anyone claiming by, through or under the property manager may have in the Premises shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and shall provide that Mortgagee may terminate such agreement at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. Such property management agreement or a short form thereof, at Mortgagee’s request, shall be recorded with the Recorder of Deeds of the county where the Premises are located. In addition, if the property management agreement in existence as of the date hereof does not contain a subordination provision, Mortgagor shall cause the property manager under such agreement to enter into a subordination of the management agreement with Mortgagee, in recordable form, whereby such property manager subordinates present and future lien rights and those of any party claiming by, through or under such property manager to the lien of this Mortgage.

36.    Environmental Matters.  Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagor has fully indemnified Mortgagee from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suites, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including attorney costs incurred by the Lender Parties or any of them as a result of or arising out of, or relating to Hazardous Substances and other environmental matters concerning the Premises, as more particularly described therein. The provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to such

 

23


indemnification are hereby incorporated herein and this Mortgage shall secure the obligations of Mortgagor thereunder.

37.    Intentionally Omitted.

38.    Miscellaneous.

a.      Successors and Assigns.  This Mortgage and all provisions hereof shall be binding upon and enforceable against Mortgagor and its assigns and other successors. This Mortgage and all provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee, its successors and assigns and any holder or holders, from time to time, of the Note.

b.      Invalidity of Provisions; Governing Law.  In the event that any provision of this Mortgage is deemed to be invalid by reason of the operation of law, or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any administrative agency or any court, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall negotiate an equitable adjustment in the provisions of the same in order to effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the purpose of this Mortgage and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, or portions or applications thereof, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect. This Mortgage is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

c.      Municipal Requirements.  Mortgagor shall not by act or omission permit any building or other improvement on Premises not subject to the lien of this Mortgage to rely on the Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein to fulfill any municipal or governmental requirement, and Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee any and all rights to give consent for all or any portion of the Premises or any interest therein to be so used. Similarly, no building or other improvement on the Premises shall rely on any premises not subject to the lien of this Mortgage or any interest therein to fulfill any governmental or municipal requirement. Any act or omission by Mortgagor which would result in a violation of any of the provisions of this subparagraph shall be void.

d.      Rights of Tenants.  Mortgagee shall have the right and option to commence a civil action to foreclose this Mortgage and to obtain a decree of foreclosure and sale subject to the rights of any tenant or tenants of the Premises having an interest in the Premises prior to that of Mortgagee. The failure to join any such tenant or tenants of the Premises as party defendant or defendants in any such civil action or the failure of any decree of foreclosure and sale to foreclose their rights shall not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense in any civil action instituted to collect the Indebtedness, or any part thereof or any deficiency remaining unpaid after foreclosure and sale of the Premises, any statute or rule of law at any time existing to the contrary notwithstanding.

e.      Option of Mortgagee to Subordinate.  At the option of Mortgagee, this Mortgage shall become subject and subordinate, in whole or in part (but not with respect to priority of entitlement to insurance proceeds or any condemnation or eminent domain award) to any and all leases of all or any part of the Premises upon the execution by

 

24


Mortgagee of a unilateral declaration to that effect and the recording thereof in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds in and for the county wherein the Premises are situated.

f.      Mortgagee in Possession.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Mortgagee a mortgagee in possession in the absence of the actual taking of possession of the Premises by Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage.

g.      Relationship of Mortgagee and Mortgagor.  Mortgagee shall in no event be construed for any purpose to be a partner, joint venturer, agent or associate of Mortgagor or of any lessee, operator, concessionaire or licensee of Mortgagor in the conduct of their respective businesses, and, without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagee shall not be deemed to be such partner, joint venturer, agent or associate on account of Mortgagee becoming a mortgagee in possession or exercising any rights pursuant to this Mortgage, any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise. The relationship of Mortgagor and Mortgagee hereunder is solely that of debtor/creditor.

h.      Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence of the payment by Mortgagor of all amounts due and owing to Mortgagee under the Note and the other Loan Documents and the performance and observance by Mortgagor of all terms, conditions, obligations and agreements contained in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

i.      No Merger.  The parties hereto intend that the Mortgage and the lien hereof shall not merge in fee simple title to the Premises, and if Mortgagee acquires any additional or other interest in or to the Premises or the ownership thereof, then, unless a contrary intent is manifested by Mortgagee as evidenced by an express statement to that effect in an appropriate document duly recorded, this Mortgage and the lien hereof shall not merge in the fee simple title and this Mortgage may be foreclosed as if owned by a stranger to the fee simple title.

j.      Maximum Indebtedness.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indebtedness exceed an amount equal to $25,000,000.00; provided, however, in no event shall Mortgagee be obligated to advance funds in excess of the face amount of the Note.

k.      Consent to Jurisdiction.  TO INDUCE MORTGAGEE TO ACCEPT THE NOTE, MORTGAGOR IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO MORTGAGEE’S SOLE AND ABSOLUTE ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE NOTE AND THIS MORTGAGE WILL BE LITIGATED IN COURTS HAVING SITUS IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. MORTGAGOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT LOCATED WITHIN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON MORTGAGOR, AND AGREES THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED MAIL DIRECTED TO MORTGAGOR AT THE ADDRESS STATED HEREIN AND SERVICE SO MADE WILL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON ACTUAL RECEIPT.

 

25


l.       Waiver of Jury Trial.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE (BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF), HAVING BEEN REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS (a) UNDER THIS MORTGAGE OR ANY RELATED AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORTGAGE OR (b) ARISING FROM ANY BANKING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORTGAGE, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. MORTGAGOR AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST MORTGAGEE OR ANY OTHER PERSON INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS MORTGAGE ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

m.      Complete Agreement.  This Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and the Loan Documents may not be modified, altered or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by both Mortgagor and Mortgagee.

n.       Revolving Loan.  This Mortgage is given to secure a revolving credit loan and shall secure not only presently existing indebtedness under the Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents but also future advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of the Mortgagee, or otherwise, as are made within 20 years from the date hereof to the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage, although there may be no advance made at the time of execution of this Mortgage and although there may be no Indebtedness outstanding at the time any advance is made. The lien of this Mortgage shall be valid as to all Indebtedness including future advances, from the time of its filing for record in the recorder’s or registrar’s office of the county in which the real estate is located. This Mortgage secures, among other Indebtedness, a “revolving credit” arrangement. The total amount of Indebtedness may increase or decrease from time to time, as provided in the Note, and any disbursements which Mortgagee may make under this Mortgage, the Note or the Credit Agreement or any other document with respect hereto (e.g., for payment of taxes, insurance premiums or other advances to protect Mortgagee’s liens and security interests, as permitted hereby) shall be additional Indebtedness secured hereby. This Mortgage is intended to and shall be valid and have priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including statutory liens, excepting solely taxes and assessments levied on the real estate, to the extent of the maximum amount secured hereby.

o.      Remedies Against Other Collateral.  Mortgagor hereby acknowledges that certain Loan Documents other than this Mortgage create liens on collateral located in counties or states other than the counties and state in which the Premises are located. Mortgagor further acknowledges that this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are

 

26


cross-defaulted and the Loan secured hereby is also secured by the other Loan Documents. Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagee may proceed, at the same or at different times, to foreclose any or all liens against such collateral (or sell such collateral under power of sale) by any proceedings appropriate in the county and state where such collateral lies, and that no event of enforcement taking place in any county or state pursuant to any of the Loan Documents shall preclude or bar enforcement in any other county or state. Any foreclosure or other appropriate remedy brought in any county or state in which collateral is located may be brought and prosecuted as to any part of such collateral without regard to the fact that foreclosure proceedings or other appropriate remedies have or have not been instituted elsewhere on any other part of the collateral for the Loan.

39.    State Specific Provisions.  The following provisions are included in this Mortgage specifically to comply with provisions of Pennsylvania law or custom:

a.      Inconsistencies.  In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 39 and the other provisions of this Mortgage, or to the extent, and only to the extent, any of the provisions in this Paragraph 39 conflict with, or are ambiguous when read together with, any of the provisions of this Mortgage, the provisions of this Paragraph 39 shall govern. The provisions of this Paragraph 39 are intended to supplement the remedies and other terms and provisions contained in the Mortgage.

b.      Future Advances.

i.     This Mortgage shall secure all present and future advances made by Mortgagee to or for the benefit of Mortgagor pursuant to this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and with respect to each such advance, the lien of this Mortgage with respect thereto shall relate back to the date of this Mortgage, regardless of whether the maturity hereof or of the “Note or any Indebtedness or Obligations secured hereby shall have been extended, regardless of whether this Mortgage shall have been modified, and regardless of whether there shall have been any modification of the Premises or of any other property securing payment of the Indebtedness or Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, this Mortgage secures all advances made by Mortgagee of any kind or nature described in 42 Pa; C.S. §8144.

ii.    If Mortgagor sends a written notice to Mortgagee pursuant to 42 Pa. C.S. §8143(c) which purports in any manner to limit the Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and to release the obligation of Mortgagee to make any additional advances to Mortgagor, such a notice shall be ineffective as to any future advances made: (i) to enable completion of the improvements on the Premises for which the loan secured hereby was originally made; (ii) to pay taxes, assessments, maintenance charges and insurance premiums; (iii) for cost incurred for the protection of the Premises or the lien of this Mortgage; (iv) for expenses incurred by Mortgagee by reason of an Event of Default of Mortgagor under this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents; and (v) for any other costs incurred by

 

27


Mortgagee to protect and preserve the Premises. It is the intention of the parties hereto that any such advance made by Mortgagee after any such notice by Mortgagor shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage on the Premises.

c.      Open-End Mortgage.  This Mortgage is an Open-End Mortgage as defined in Section 8143 - “Open-End Mortgages” of Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, then such status shall establish the priority of advances made under certain mortgages, as amended by 42 Pa. C.S. § 8143 and 8144, Act No. 126 of 1990.

WHEREAS, to secure the Loan, inter alia, Mortgagor made, executed, and delivered to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders that certain Open-End Mortgage, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Filing dated as of January 31, 2008, and recorded in Mortgage Book Volume 34980, Page 33, as Instrument Number 2008-9653, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania records (as so amended, and as it may hereafter be renewed, extended, supplemented, increased or modified and in effect from time to time, and all other security instruments given in substitution therefor, or in modification, renewal or extension thereof, in whole or in part, is herein called the “Mortgage”; the Credit Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan collectively the “Loan Documents”), granting Administrative Agent a lien on certain real property owned by Mortgagor as described therein (the “Property”);

made funds available to Mortgagor for the purchase of the Property and without the granting of the Mortgage to Administrative Agent said funds would not have been available to Borrower, and accordingly, Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the Mortgage was at the time made supported by reasonable and adequate consideration. Further, Mortgagor did not intend to defraud any of its creditors by execution and delivery of the Mortgage. Mortgagor was not insolvent, and Mortgagor was not rendered insolvent by virtue of such Mortgage. Mortgagor entered into the Mortgage, and is consenting hereby to the Second Amendment, after a determination by Mortgagor that, in its opinion, the fair market value of the benefits to be derived by it from such execution of the Mortgage and the extension of maturity effected by the Second Amendment equaled or exceeded the cost and expense incurred by Mortgagor under or in connection with the Mortgage.

3.        Consent to Second Amendment and Waivers.

(a)      Mortgagor consents to the Second Amendment and acknowledges that the term of the Credit Agreement is extended thereby. Mortgagor further expressly waives and agrees that neither Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies nor Mortgagor’s obligations under the terms of the Mortgage shall be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or affected by any one or more of the following events, actions, facts, or circumstances:

  (i)        any limitation on the liability of, or recourse against, any other Person (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in any Loan Document or arising under any federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules, ordinances, regulations, codes, licenses, authorizations, decisions, injunctions, interpretations, orders or decrees of any court or other governmental authority having jurisdiction (“Laws”);

  (ii)       any claim or defense that the Mortgage was made without consideration or is not supported by adequate consideration or that the obligations of Mortgagor under the Mortgage exceed or are more burdensome than those of Borrower under the other Loan Documents;

  (vi)      any release, surrender, abandonment, exchange, alteration, sale or other disposition, subordination, deterioration, waste, failure to protect or preserve, impairment, or loss of, or any failure to create or perfect any lien or security interest with respect to, or any other dealings with, any collateral or security at any time existing or purported, believed or expected to exist in connection with any or all of the Obligations, or any impairment of Mortgagor’s recourse against any Person or collateral;

(xxi)      All notices to Mortgagor, to Borrower, or to any other person, including, but not limited to, notices of the acceptance of the Mortgage, or the creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual of any of the Obligations owed to Administrative Agent or any Lender and, enforcement of any right or remedy with respect thereto, and notice of any other matters relating thereto; and

(xxii)     Diligence and demand of payment, presentment, protest, dishonor and notice of dishonor.

4.      Waivers of Subrogation and Other Rights.

     (a)      Upon a default by Borrower, Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, without prior notice to or consent of Mortgagor, may elect to (i) foreclose either judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property security that Administrative Agent may hold for the Obligations, (ii) accept a transfer of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, (iii) compromise or adjust all or any part of any Obligations or make any other accommodation with Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) exercise any other remedy against Borrower or any security. No such action by Administrative Agent shall release or limit the liability of Mortgagor, who shall remain liable under the Mortgage after the action, even if the effect of the action is to deprive Mortgagor of any subrogation rights, rights of indemnity, or other rights to collect reimbursement from Borrower for any sums paid to Administrative Agent, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise. Mortgagor expressly agrees that under no circumstances shall it be deemed to have any right, title, interest, or claim in or to any real or personal property to be held by Administrative Agent or any third party after any foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of any security for the Obligations.

     (b)      Regardless of whether Mortgagor may have made any payments to Administrative Agent, until all of the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated, Mortgagor waives (i) all rights of subrogation, all rights of indemnity, and any other rights to collect reimbursement from Borrower for any sums paid by Mortgagor to Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations, whether contractual or arising by operation of law (including the United States Bankruptcy Code or any successor or similar statute) or otherwise, (ii) all rights to enforce any remedy that Mortgagor may have against Borrower with respect to the Obligations, and (iii) all rights to participate in any security now or later to be held by Administrative Agent for the Obligations.

     (c)      Mortgagor understands and acknowledges that if Administrative Agent forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for the Loan, such foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability that Mortgagor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification from Borrower or others based on any right that Mortgagor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by Mortgagor for the benefit of Borrower.

6.      Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument; and any signature page from any such counterpart or any electronic facsimile thereof may be attached or appended to any other counterpart to complete a fully executed counterpart of this Agreement and any telecopy or other facsimile transmission of any signature shall be deemed an original and shall bind such party.

10.    No Novation.  Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders hereby agree that nothing herein or in the other Loan Documents, as modified hereby, shall in any way waive Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights, powers or remedies under the Loan Documents; (ii) shall in any way limit, impair or prejudice Administrative Agent or Lenders from exercising any past, present or future right, power or remedy from and after the date hereof under the Loan Documents; and (iii) shall not constitute or be deemed to be a novation of the indebtedness evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.
