Mortgagee shall have all the rights, remedies and recourses with respect to the personal property, fixtures, the Leases (as defined in Section 1.16 hereof) and rents afforded to a “Secured Party” by the Uniform Commercial Code in addition to, and not in limitation of, the other rights, remedies and recourses afforded by law, equity and the Loan Documents.

     1.9 Maintenance of Property. Mortgagor will not remove or demolish any Improvements, except as permitted under applicable law, or change its legal use in any manner

9


that would cause the Mortgaged Property to be in violation of applicable law without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Mortgagor from performing alterations or improvements to the Mortgaged Property that are determined by Mortgagor to be necessary or desirable.

     1.10 Impositions and Liens. (a) Mortgagor shall, before any penalty or interest attaches thereto because of delinquency in payment, pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, all taxes, assessments, sewer rents, water rates, levies and governmental charges imposed upon or against the Mortgaged Property or upon or against the Note or the Indebtedness or upon or against the interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property or in the Note or the Loan Agreement or the Indebtedness (hereinafter referred to as “Impositions”) and will thereafter deliver the paid receipts therefor to Mortgagee within ten (10) days after request therefor by Mortgagee. In the event of any legislative enactment or judicial decision after the date of this Mortgage, imposing upon Mortgagee the obligation to pay any such Imposition, or deducting the lien of this Mortgage from the value of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of taxation, or changing in any way the laws now in force for the taxation of mortgages or debts secured thereby, or the manner, operation or method of collection of any such Imposition, so as to affect the interests of Mortgagee, then, and in such event, Mortgagor shall bear and promptly pay the full amount of such Imposition or any substituted tax; provided, however, that, if for any reason payment thereof by Mortgagor would be unlawful or unenforceable, or if payment thereof by Mortgagor would constitute usury or would render the Loan or the Indebtedness wholly or partially usurious under any of the terms or provisions of the Note or of this Mortgage, or otherwise, Mortgagee may declare the whole sum secured by this Mortgage, with interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable. Mortgagor shall not suffer to exist and shall promptly pay and discharge any mechanic’s, statutory or other lien or encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (hereinafter referred to as “Liens”), except for Permitted Encumbrances.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor shall not be in default hereunder in respect to the payment of any Impositions or Liens which Mortgagor shall be required by any provision hereof to pay, so long as Mortgagor shall, in good faith, in compliance with all applicable statutes, and with all possible promptness, diligently contest the same, and Mortgagor may postpone or defer payment of a portion of said Impositions or Liens, if, but only if, permitted by statute, and if neither the Mortgaged Property, nor any portion thereof, would, by reason of such postponement or deferment, be in danger of being forfeited or lost. Upon a final adjudication of any such contest, and, in any event, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property would otherwise forfeit by reason of the nonpayment of any such Imposition or Lien, Mortgagor shall pay the amount thereof then due, including any penalties and interest thereon.

     (c) As soon as reasonably practicable following the recording of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Mortgagee a title report showing the recordation of the Existing Mortgage Assignment and this Mortgage. In the event any lien, encumbrance or other matter objectionable to Mortgagee is disclosed by such title report, other than the Permitted Encumbrances, Mortgagor shall bond over or otherwise have removed any such lien or encumbrance within thirty (30) days of the imposition thereof, to the satisfaction of

10


Mortgagee, unless Mortgagor is contesting such lien or encumbrance in accordance with Section 1.10(b) hereof.

     1.11 Insurance; Casualty or Other Loss. Mortgagor will keep the Improvements on the Mortgaged Property insured against loss by fire or other casualty, and shall maintain liability insurance, with Mortgagee named as an additional insured, under policies of insurance, with coverages, as reasonably determined by Mortgagor to be consistent with the types and amount of insurance maintained by reasonably prudent owners of property similar to the Mortgaged Property in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area and available at commercially reasonable rates. Mortgagor shall timely pay the premiums on all such insurance. In the event of casualty or other loss, Mortgagor shall immediately give written notice thereof to Mortgagee. All proceeds of casualty insurance shall be paid to Mortgagor and applied, after application to Mortgagor’s costs of collection to payment of any costs of restoration and repair incurred by Mortgagor or in such other manner as Mortgagor shall determine.

     1.13 [Intentionally Omitted].
 

     1.14 Cure of Defaults by Mortgagee. If an Event of Default occurs and Mortgagor shall fail to observe, comply with or perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions herein with respect to the procuring and delivery of insurance, the payment of Impositions, ground rent or Liens, the keeping of the Mortgaged Property in repair, the performance of Mortgagor’s obligations under any other term, covenant or condition contained herein, in the Note, in the Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Mortgagee may itself, following reasonable notice to and cure periods for Mortgagor, observe, comply with or perform the same, may make such advances to observe, comply with or perform the same as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate, and may enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of observing, complying with or performing any such term, covenant or condition. Mortgagee may expend such sums, including attorneys’ fees (prior to trial, at trial and on appeal), to sustain the lien of this Mortgage or its priority, or to protect or enforce, or to obtain the right to enforce, its rights, powers and remedies hereunder, including the payment of any prior liens, ground rent, claims and encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances which are not in default, or to protect the Mortgaged Property, as it may deem desirable. Mortgagor agrees to repay all sums so advanced or expended upon demand, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of advancement or expenditure, and all sums so advanced or expended, with interest, shall be secured hereby, but no such advance or expenditure shall be deemed to relieve Mortgagor from any default hereunder. Mortgagee shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any Imposition or Lien which Mortgagor fails to pay as and when required hereby and which Mortgagor does not contest in strict accordance with the terms hereof.

     1.15 Sale, Transfer or Encumbrance. Except for Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted Transfers (as defined in the Loan Agreement), without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall not voluntarily or involuntarily agree to, cause, suffer or permit any sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, lien, encumbrance, security interest, pledge, assignment or transfer of: (a) the Mortgaged Property or any part or portion thereof, or any interest of Mortgagor, legal or equitable, in the Mortgaged Property, except as created by this Mortgage and

11


the other documents which secure the Note; or (b) any direct ownership interest, in Mortgagor; provided, however, this subsection shall not be applicable to the extent liens are being contested in accordance herewith. If Mortgagor fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 1.15, Mortgagee may, at its election, declare the entire Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, without notice to Mortgagor (which notice Mortgagor hereby expressly waives), and upon such declaration the entire Indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable.

     No transfer, conveyance, lease, sale or other disposition shall relieve Mortgagor from personal liability for its obligations hereunder or under the Note, whether or not the transferee assumes this Mortgage. Mortgagee may, without notice to Mortgagor, deal with any successor owner of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property in the same manner as with Mortgagor, without in any way discharging the liability of Mortgagor hereunder or under the Note.

     1.16 Assignment of Leases and Rents. (a) As a source of future repayment of the Indebtedness, Mortgagor hereby absolutely and presently assigns to Mortgagee all Rents (hereinafter defined) and hereby collaterally assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor’s rights in and interest as landlord under the Leases (subject to the appointment of Mortgagor as agent for Mortgagee and the license granted to Mortgagor as set forth below); together with the immediate and continuing right to collect and receive all of the Rents now due or which may become due or to which Mortgagor may now or shall hereafter (including the period of redemption, if any) become entitled or may demand or claim, arising or issuing from or out of the Leases or from or out of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. It is the intention hereby to establish a choate, present, absolute transfer and assignment of the Rents now due to or which may become due to Mortgagee and not merely the granting of a security interest.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee hereby (i) appoints Mortgagor as the agent of Mortgagee to collect and receive all of the Rents and apply them as set forth herein and (ii) grants to Mortgagor a license to carry out any and all of the terms and conditions of the Leases and to manage the Mortgaged Property, as hereinafter provided, such appointment and license terminable at the sole election of Mortgagee upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

     (c) As used herein: (i) “Lease” means each existing or future lease, sublease (to the extent of Mortgagor’s rights thereunder) or other agreement under the terms of which any person has or acquires any right to occupy or use the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or interest therein, and each existing or future guaranty of payment or performance thereunder, and all extensions, renewals, modifications and replacements of each such lease, sublease, agreement or guaranty; and (ii) “Rents” means all of the rents, revenue, income, profits and proceeds derived and to be derived from the Mortgaged Property or arising from the use or enjoyment of any portion thereof or from any Lease, including, but not limited to, liquidated damages following default under any such Lease, all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability caused by damage to any part of the Mortgaged Property, all of Mortgagor’s rights to recover monetary amounts from any tenant in bankruptcy including, without limitation, rights of recovery for use and occupancy and damage claims arising out of Lease defaults, including rejections, under any applicable law, together with any sums of money that may now or at any time hereafter be or become due and payable to

12


Mortgagor by virtue of any and all royalties, overriding royalties, bonuses, delay rentals and any other amount of any kind or character arising under any and all present and all future oil, gas, mineral and mining leases covering the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and all proceeds and other amounts paid or owing to Mortgagor under or pursuant to any and all contracts and bonds relating to the improvement, construction or renovation of the Mortgaged Property.

     1.17   [Intentionally Omitted].
 

     1.18 Hazardous Substances. Except for substances normally used for maintenance or operation of retail and commercial projects which are used, stored, and disposed of in accordance with all applicable Environmental Regulations, Mortgagor (i) shall not store, locate, generate, produce, process, treat, transport, incorporate, discharge, emit, release, deposit or dispose of any Hazardous Substance in, upon, under, over or from the Mortgaged Property, (ii) shall not permit any Hazardous Substance to be stored, located, generated, produced, processed, treated, transported, incorporated, discharged, emitted, released, deposited, disposed of or to escape therein, thereupon, thereunder, thereover or therefrom, (iii) shall cause all Hazardous Substances found thereon to be properly removed therefrom and properly disposed of in accordance with all applicable Environmental Regulations, (iv) shall not install or permit to be installed any underground storage tank therein or thereunder, and (v) shall comply with all Environmental Regulations which are applicable to the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Mortgagee, its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, licensees, invitees, successors and assigns and any affiliate of Mortgagee which acquires title to the Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure or other sale or takes title to the Mortgaged Property pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure under the provisions of this Mortgage (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Parties”) against, shall hold Indemnified Parties harmless from, and shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for, any and all claims, demands, judgments, penalties, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees directly or indirectly incurred by the Indemnified Parties (prior to trial, at trial and on appeal) in any action, administrative proceeding or negotiations against or involving any of the Indemnified Parties, resulting from any breach of the foregoing covenants, from the incorrectness or untruthfulness of any warranty or representation set forth in Subsection 1.2(i) hereof, or from the discovery of any Hazardous Substance in, upon, under or over, or emanating from, the Mortgaged Property, whether or not Mortgagor is responsible therefor, or whether or not it was placed, located, deposited or released by Mortgagor, it being the intent of Mortgagor and Mortgagee that the Indemnified Parties shall have no liability or responsibility (x) for damage or injury to human health, the environment or natural resources caused by, for abatement and/or clean-up of, or (y) otherwise with respect to, Hazardous Substances by virtue of the interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property created hereby or as the result of Mortgagee exercising any of its rights or remedies with respect thereto hereunder, including, but not limited to, becoming the owner thereof by foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. The foregoing representations, warranties and covenants of Subsection 1.2(i) and of this Section 1.18 shall be deemed continuing covenants, representations and warranties for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, and shall survive the satisfaction or release of this Mortgage, any foreclosure of this Mortgage and/or any acquisition of title to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof by Mortgagee, or anyone claiming by, through or under Mortgagee by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Any amounts covered by the foregoing indemnification shall bear interest from the date incurred at the Default Rate, shall be payable on demand, and shall be

13


secured hereby. In no event shall Mortgagor be obligated by the provisions hereof to indemnify any Indemnified Party for matters, liabilities or expenses arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

     1.19 Indemnity. Mortgagor agrees to indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend Mortgagee from and against any and all losses, liabilities, suits, actions, obligations, fines, damages, judgments, penalties, claims, causes of action, charges, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, disbursements and court costs prior to trial, at trial and on appeal) which may be imposed on, incurred or paid by, or asserted against Mortgagee by reason or on account of, or in connection with, (i) any willful misconduct of Mortgagor or any default or Event of Default hereunder, (ii) any construction, reconstruction or alteration of the Mortgaged Property, (iii) any negligence of Mortgagor or any negligence or willful misconduct of any lessee of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any of their respective agents, contractors, subcontractors, servants, directors, officers, employees, licensees or invitees, or (iv) any accident, injury, death or damage to any person or property occurring in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any street, drive, sidewalk, curb or passageway adjacent thereto, except to the extent that the same results directly from the willful gross negligence or misconduct of Mortgagee. Any amount payable to Mortgagee under this Section 1.19 shall be due and payable upon demand therefor and receipt by Mortgagor of a statement from Mortgagee setting forth in reasonable detail the amount claimed and the basis therefor. Mortgagor’s obligations under this Section 1.19 shall survive the repayment or any other satisfaction of the Note and shall not be affected by the absence or unavailability of insurance covering the same or by the failure or refusal of any insurance carrier to perform any obligation on its part under any such policy of insurance. If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against Mortgagee which is subject to the indemnity set forth in this Section 1.19, Mortgagor shall resist or defend against the same, in its own name or, if necessary, in the name of Mortgagee, by attorneys for Mortgagor’s insurance carrier (if the same is covered by insurance) approved by Mortgagee or otherwise by attorneys retained by Mortgagor and approved by Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee, in its discretion, if it disapproves of the attorneys provided by Mortgagor or Mortgagor’s insurance carrier, may engage its own attorneys to resist or defend, or to assist therein, and Mortgagor shall pay, or, on demand, shall reimburse Mortgagee for the payment of, all fees and disbursements of said attorneys.

ARTICLE 2.
TAKING OF PROPERTY

     2.1 Condemnation or Sale in Lieu Thereof. In case of a taking of or damage to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property as a result of, or a sale thereof in lieu of or in anticipation of, the exercise of the power of condemnation or eminent domain, or the commencement of any proceedings or negotiations which might result in such a taking, damage or sale, Mortgagor shall promptly give Mortgagee written notice thereof, generally describing the nature of such taking, damage, sale, proceedings or negotiations and the nature and extent of the taking, damage or sale which has resulted or might result therefrom, as the case may be, together with a copy of each and every document relating thereto received by Mortgagor. Should any of the Mortgaged Property be taken or damaged by exercise of the power of condemnation or eminent domain, or be sold by private sale in lieu or in anticipation thereof, any award, payment or other consideration for the property so taken, damaged or sold shall, be applied first to the payment of

14


all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagor in obtaining and preserving such award, payment or consideration, and second, to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or in such other manner as Mortgagor determines, without affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the obligations of Mortgagor hereunder.

ARTICLE 3.
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES THEREFOR

     3.1 Events of Default. If any one or more of the following events (herein referred to as “Events of Default”) shall occur an event which would constitute an “Event of Default” under the Loan Agreement.

     3.2 Mortgagee’s Power of Enforcement; Power of Sale. After the occurrence of any Event of Default, Mortgagee, at its option, may proceed by any appropriate action or proceeding to (i) enforce payment of the Indebtedness pursuant to the Loan Documents, (ii) enforce performance of any term of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, (iii) enforce any other rights of Mortgagee with respect to the Indebtedness or the Mortgaged Property, (iv) foreclose this Mortgage and sell the Mortgaged Property, as an entirety or in separate portions, pursuant to the judgment, order or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, (v) to the extent permitted by law, pursue the partial foreclosure of this Mortgage for any part of the Indebtedness then due and payable, subject to the continuing encumbrance of this Mortgage as security for the balance of the Indebtedness not then due, and (vi) pursue any other right, power or remedy available to Mortgagee at law or in equity. Mortgagee may pursue any and all such actions or proceedings, at Mortgagee’s option, either with or without entry or taking possession and whether or not the Indebtedness or any part thereof shall have been declared to be immediately due and payable or shall otherwise be due. Mortgagee may pursue any and all such actions or proceedings without prejudice to Mortgagee’s right thereafter to foreclose this Mortgage or to bring any other action or proceeding to enforce Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Indebtedness or the Mortgaged Property, whether or not the basis for any such subsequent action or proceeding shall be a default or Event of Default existing at the time such earlier action or proceeding was commenced.

     Mortgagee may, either with or without entry or taking possession of the Mortgaged Property as provided in this Agreement or otherwise, personally or by its agents or attorneys, and without prejudice to the right to bring an action for foreclosure of the Mortgage, sell the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof pursuant to any procedures provided by applicable law, thereto), and all estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand therein, and right of redemption thereof, at one or more sales as an entity or in parcels, and at such time and place upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by applicable law.

     All notices hereunder or under any applicable law pertaining hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or served for all purposes when delivered by personal service or courier service, and shall be deemed given on the date when signed for or, if refused, when refused by the person designated as an agent for receipt of service. For purposes hereof, notices may be given by the parties hereto or by their attorneys identified herein.

     3.3 Mortgagee’s Right To Enter and Take Possession.

15


     (a) While any Event of Default exists, Mortgagor, upon receipt of written notification by Mortgagee, shall forthwith surrender and deliver to Mortgagee the actual possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof designated by Mortgagee, subject to the rights of tenants. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may enter and take possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and may exclude Mortgagor and its officers, employees, agents, contractors, attorneys and other representatives therefrom, and Mortgagee may have joint access with Mortgagor to the books, papers and accounts of Mortgagor and of any manager of the Mortgaged Property. On the first day of each month occurring after any such entry into possession, or after the appointment of any receiver as provided below, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee or to such receiver, as the case may be, in advance, a use and occupancy charge equal to the fair and reasonable rental value for such month of any leasable portion of the Mortgaged Property which shall then be in the possession of or occupied by Mortgagor. If Mortgagor shall fail to make any such payment as provided above, then, upon request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall vacate, deliver and surrender possession of such part of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver, as the case may be, and, to the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor may be evicted or dispossessed by summary proceedings or otherwise.

     (b) While an Event of Default exists, Mortgagor for any reason shall fail to surrender or deliver to Mortgagee the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof designated by Mortgagee as provided above, Mortgagee may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on Mortgagee the right to immediate possession and requiring Mortgagor to deliver to Mortgagee immediate possession of the Mortgaged Property or such part thereof. Mortgagor hereby specifically and irrevocably consents to the entry of any such judgment or decree. Upon request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, or to any other person that Mortgagee may designate, all reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with any such failure to surrender or deliver possession and in connection with any such judgment or decree, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee until the date so paid to, or as directed by, Mortgagee.

     (c) After any such entry into possession, Mortgagee, in Mortgagor’s name or otherwise, may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property, or the part thereof as to which Mortgagee shall have entered into possession, and may conduct the business thereof. In doing so, Mortgagee from time to time may:

             
(i)
make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personal property and other property of the type encumbered by this Mortgage;
   
 
   
(ii) 
insure the Mortgaged Property or keep the Mortgaged Property  insured;
   
 
   
(iii) 
manage and operate the Mortgaged Property, or such part thereof, and exercise all the rights and powers of Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged

 

16


Property and the management and operation of the Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, the right to enter into leases, to cancel, enforce or modify leases, to evict tenants by summary proceedings or otherwise and to take other appropriate steps to enforce leases);

     (iv) enter into agreements with others to exercise the powers herein granted to Mortgagee, all as Mortgagee from time to time may determine; and

     (v) collect and receive all the rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenues, income and other benefits of and from all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and apply the moneys so received, in such priority as Mortgagee may determine, to (1) the payment of interest, principal and other amounts due and payable in respect of the Indebtedness or otherwise payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, (2) the deposits payable under this Mortgage for Impositions, (3) the cost of insurance, Impositions and other expenses of operating, maintaining, repairing and improving all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, reasonable renting commissions and rental collecting commissions paid to any agent of Mortgagee or of any receiver, (4) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, contractors, attorneys and other representatives of Mortgagee, and (5) amounts advanced for any purpose recognized under this paragraph (c) or otherwise permitted by law or agreement.

     (d) Mortgagee shall be liable to account only for rents, security deposits, royalties, issues, profits, revenues, income and benefits actually received by Mortgagee while in possession of the Mortgaged Property. In the event of any foreclosure, Mortgagee may remain in possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property until the foreclosure sale and thereafter during any period of redemption. In the absence of any foreclosure, Mortgagee may remain in possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property as long as there exists an Event of Default. The same right of taking possession shall exist during the continuance of any subsequent Event of Default. Mortgagee shall incur no liability for, nor shall Mortgagor assert any claim or set off as a result of, any acts or omissions of Mortgagee, or its officers, employees, agents, contractors, attorneys or other representatives, while in possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property (except for damages directly caused by Mortgagee’s own gross negligence or intentional wrongful acts), all such liabilities, claims and rights of set off being hereby expressly waived by Mortgagor.

     (e) Upon request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, or to any other person that Mortgagee may designate, all reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the management, operation, use, control and maintenance of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, except to the extent such costs, expenses and liabilities shall have been paid out of collections from the Mortgaged Property as provided above, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee until the date so paid to, or as directed by, Mortgagee.

  3.4 Appointment of Receiver.

17


     (a) After the occurrence of any Event of Default, Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by law and without regard to the value, adequacy or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property, shall be entitled as a matter of right, if it so elects, to the appointment of a receiver to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and to collect all rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenues, income and other benefits of and from the Mortgaged Property and apply the same as the court may direct or otherwise as may be permitted by law. Mortgagor hereby specifically and irrevocably consents to such appointment. The receiver shall be entitled to hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business thereof as would Mortgagee pursuant to the immediately preceding Section and shall have all rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of New York and such other rights and powers as the court making such appointment shall confer. The receiver shall be liable to account only for rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenues, income and other benefits actually received by such receiver. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian, Mortgagee, as pledgee or depository, shall be entitled to the possession and control of any cash, deposits or instruments held by Mortgagee at the time of such appointment or payable or deliverable to Mortgagee from time to time under the terms of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents.

     (b) Upon request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, or to any other person that Mortgagee may designate, or to any such receiver, all reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, receivers’ fees and the fees of any manager retained by such receiver) incurred by Mortgagee or by such receiver in connection with the appointment of such receiver and the exercise of the rights and powers of such receiver, except to the extent such costs, expenses and liabilities shall have been paid out of collections from the Mortgaged Property as provided in the immediately preceding Section, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee or by such receiver until the date so paid to, or as directed by, Mortgagee or to such receiver.

     3.5 Waiver of Certain Rights. Mortgagor agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that neither Mortgagor nor any person at any time claiming through or under Mortgagor shall set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, notice of election to accelerate, mature or declare due the Indebtedness, extension, redemption or moratorium laws, election of remedies, or any exemption from execution or sale, now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the foreclosure of this Mortgage after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the final and absolute sale of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after any such sale, of the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or the enforcement of any other rights or remedies of Mortgagee under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents. Mortgagor, for itself and for all who may at any time claim through or under Mortgagor or who hereafter may otherwise acquire any interest in or title to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, all benefit of any such law or laws, any and all rights of redemption from sale pursuant to any judgment, order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage, and any and all right to have the assets constituting the Mortgaged Property marshalled upon any foreclosure or other enforcement of this Mortgage, and any and all right to a jury trial in connection with any enforcement of Mortgagee’s rights under any of the Loan Documents and any other cause or proceeding arising out of or otherwise relating to the Loan or the transaction of which this

18


Mortgage is a part. Mortgagee or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose this Mortgage may sell the Mortgaged Property in part or as an entirety. Mortgagee shall not be required to accept any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property in satisfaction of all or any part of the Indebtedness. Mortgagee shall not be required to accept any apportionment of the Indebtedness to or among any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property. If any law now in force of which Mortgagor might take advantage despite this Section shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section.

     3.6 Leases. Any foreclosure of this Mortgage and any other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of all or any part of the Indebtedness may, at Mortgagee’s option, be subject to the rights of any tenants of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and any failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any foreclosure proceedings or to foreclose or otherwise terminate their rights will not be, nor be asserted by Mortgagor to be, a defense to any such foreclosure proceedings or to any proceedings seeking collection of all or any part of the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, any deficiency remaining unpaid after the completion of any such foreclosure, any sale in connection therewith or any other transfer in extinguishment of all or any part of the Indebtedness.

     3.7 Suits To Protect Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably authorized, at Mortgagee’s option, to institute and maintain any and all suits and proceedings as Mortgagee may deem advisable after an Event of Default (a) to prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property or the security of this Mortgage by any unlawful acts or omissions, (b) to prevent the occurrence or continuance of any violation of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, (c) to foreclose this Mortgage (after the occurrence of an Event of Default), and (d) to preserve and protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property.

     3.8 Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial case or proceeding affecting Mortgagor, Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by law, is hereby irrevocably authorized, at Mortgagee’s option, to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in such case or proceeding for the entire Indebtedness, at the date of the institution of such case or proceeding, and for any additional amounts that may become due and payable under any of the Loan Documents after such date.

     3.9 Application of Moneys by Mortgagee. Any moneys collected or received by Mortgagee in connection with the enforcement of its rights or remedies following any Event of Default shall be applied, in such priority as Mortgagee may determine, to the payment of reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, contractors, attorneys and other representatives of Mortgagee, to the payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness or for any other purpose authorized by any of the Loan Documents or by law.

     3.10     

No Waiver.

     (a) No delay or omission of Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance of any obligations of Mortgagor or any Guarantor under or in connection with this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or to exercise any right, power or remedy available after the

19


occurrence of any Event of Default shall waive, exhaust or impair any such obligation or any such right, power or remedy, nor shall any such delay or omission be construed to waive any such Event of Default or to constitute acquiescence therein. Notwithstanding any such delay or omission, Mortgagee thereafter shall have the right, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee, to insist upon and enforce strict performance of any and all obligations of Mortgagor and any Guarantor under or in connection with this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents. Every right, power and remedy given to Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee.

     (b) No waiver of any Event of Default shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or any other Event of Default then existing, nor shall any such waiver impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent upon any Event of Default. After the occurrence of any Event of Default (whether or not the Indebtedness shall have been declared to be due and payable immediately), Mortgagee may accept payments of amounts owing in respect of the Indebtedness, and no such acceptance shall waive any such Event of Default or result in any Indebtedness which shall have been declared to be due and payable no longer being due and payable.

     3.11 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee or to any receiver by any of the Loan Documents, by law or by any court, is or shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to each and every other right, power and remedy given under any of the Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute.

     3.12 Purchase by Mortgagee. Upon any foreclosure sale, Mortgagee may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability. Upon any foreclosure sale, Mortgagee may, if permitted by law, and after allowing for costs and expenses of the sale, compensation and other charges, in paying the purchase price, apply all or any part of the Indebtedness in lieu of cash, to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable in connection therewith.

     3.13 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or if such proceedings shall have resulted in a final determination adverse to Mortgagee, then and in every such case, to the extent permitted by law and any determination of such proceedings, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceedings had occurred or had been taken.

     3.14 Additional Security and Guaranty. If Mortgagee at any time holds additional security for, or any guaranty of, all or any part of the Indebtedness, Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by law, foreclose such security or otherwise enforce Mortgagee’s rights with respect to, or realize upon, such security or such guaranty (as the case may be), at Mortgagee’s option, either before or concurrently with or after a foreclosure or other enforcement of this Mortgage, without being deemed to have made an election thereby or to have accepted the benefits of such

20


guaranty, the security of this Mortgage or such additional security (or the proceeds of such security) in full settlement of the Indebtedness and Mortgagee’s rights with respect thereto. Any judgment, order or decree with respect to the Note or with respect to any such guaranty or security, whether rendered in the State of New York or elsewhere, shall not in any manner affect the security of this Mortgage, and any deficiency or other debt represented by said judgment, order or decree shall, to the extent permitted by law, be secured by this Mortgage to the same extent that the Indebtedness was secured hereby prior to the rendering of such judgment.

     3.15 Default Rate. After the occurrence of any Event of Default until cured, the principal portion of the Indebtedness shall, at Mortgagee’s option, bear interest at the Default Rate.

THIS SECTION HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE, EACH OF WHOM HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL. THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS, AND NO SUCH PERSON HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PERSON THAT THIS SECTION WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

     4.5 Acts of Mortgagee. In the event Mortgagee (a) grants any extension of time or forbearance with respect to the payment of any Indebtedness; (b) takes other or additional security for the payment thereof; (c) waives or fails to exercise any right, power or remedy granted herein, in the Note or in any other Loan Document; (d) grants any release, with or without consideration, of the whole or any part of the security for the payment of the Indebtedness or the release of any person, party or entity liable for payment of said indebtedness; and/or (e) amends or modifies in any respect any of the terms and provisions hereof, of the Note (including substitution of another note) or of any other Loan Document; then, and in any such event, such act or omission to act shall not release Mortgagor under any covenant of this Mortgage, of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor preclude Mortgagee from exercising any right, power or privilege herein or therein granted or intended to be granted, and shall not in any way impair or affect the lien or priority of this Mortgage. In the event any additional real property, improvements, leases, fixtures or personal property not herein specifically identified shall be or become a part of the Mortgaged Property, then this Mortgage shall immediately attach to and constitute a lien against or security interest in such additional items, as appropriate, without further act or deed of either party hereto.

     4.6 Applicable Law. The Loan secured by this Mortgage was negotiated in the State of New York and the laws of the State of New York shall govern the construction, interpretation, validity and legal effect of this Mortgage and the rights and duties of the parties hereunder, except the laws of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located shall govern the procedures for enforcing the rights and remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision herein, in the Note or in any other Loan Document, the total liability for payments in the nature of interest hereunder and thereunder shall not exceed interest at the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York on the Indebtedness, if any, and any amounts paid in excess of said maximum rate shall be applied to the principal balance of such

23


indebtedness, unless said principal balance has been paid in full, in which event any such excess amounts shall be refunded to Mortgagor. This instrument shall be construed in accordance with its intent and with the fair meaning of its provisions, and without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party which caused the same to be drafted.

     4.7 Counterparts. This Mortgage may be executed simultaneously in two (2) or more identical counterparts, each of which, standing alone, shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute but one (1) agreement.

     4.8 Release of Mortgage. If all of the Indebtedness be paid as the same becomes due and payable and all of the covenants, warranties, undertakings and agreements made in this Mortgage are kept and performed, and all obligations, if any, of Mortgagee for further advances have been terminated, then, and in that event only, all rights under this Mortgage shall terminate (except to the extent expressly provided herein with respect to indemnifications, representations and warranties and other rights which are to continue following the release hereof) and the Mortgaged Property shall become wholly clear of the liens, security interests, conveyances and assignments evidenced hereby, and such liens and security interests shall be released by Mortgagee in due form at Mortgagor’s cost or at Mortgagor’s option, assigned as provided in the last paragraph of this Mortgage. Without limitation, all provisions herein for indemnity of Mortgagee or Mortgagee shall survive discharge of the Indebtedness and any foreclosure, release or termination of this Mortgage.

     4.9 Invalidity of Certain Provisions. A determination that any provision of this Mortgage is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision and the determination that the application of any provision of this Mortgage to any person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other persons or circumstances.

     4.10 Successors and Assigns. The terms, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon Mortgagor, and the heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns of Mortgagor, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and Mortgagee and shall constitute covenants running with the Premises and the leasehold estate. All references in this Mortgage to Mortgagor shall be deemed to include all such heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns of Mortgagor.

     4.11 No Partnership, Etc. The relationship between Mortgagee and Mortgagor is solely that of lender and borrower. Mortgagee has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Mortgagor. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents is intended to create any partnership, joint venture, association or special relationship between Mortgagor and Mortgagee or in any way make Mortgagee a co-principal with Mortgagor with reference to the Mortgaged Property. All agreed contractual duties between or among Mortgagee, Mortgagor and Mortgagee are set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and any additional implied covenants or duties are hereby disclaimed. Any inferences to the contrary of any of the foregoing are hereby expressly negated.

     4.12 Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.

24

This Mortgage does not cover real property principally improved by one or more structures containing in the aggregate not more than six (6) residential dwelling units having their own separate cooking facilities.

     (b) Security Deposits. In furtherance of and not in limitation of any other provisions of this Mortgage, any pledge or assignment of security deposits is subject to Sections 7-103, 7-105 and 7-106 of the New York General Obligations Law.

     (c) Maximum Principal Indebtedness. The parties hereto intend that this Mortgage shall secure unpaid balances of the indebtedness secured hereby whether incurred by Mortgagor at the date hereof or after this Mortgage is delivered for recordation in the official records of the county in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The maximum principal amount of the indebtedness which is or under any contingency may be secured at the date of execution hereof or at any time thereafter by this Mortgage is $78,245,641.77.

     (d) Section 254. The clauses and covenants contained herein which are construed by Section 254 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be construed as provided in that Section; the additional clauses and covenants contained herein shall afford rights supplemental to and not exclusive of the rights conferred by the clauses and covenants construed by said Section 254 and shall not impair, modify, alter or defeat such rights notwithstanding that such additional clauses and covenants may relate to the same subject matter or provide for different or additional rights in the same or similar contingencies as the clauses and covenants construed by said Section 254; the clauses and covenants herein which are similar to those contained in said Section 254 but which afford additional rights to Mortgagee or to Mortgagor, shall supersede the clauses and covenants contained in Section 254.

     (e) RPAPL. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mortgagee may elect to sell (and, in the case of any default of any purchaser, resell) the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof by exercise of the power of foreclosure or of sale granted to Mortgagee by Articles 13 or 14 of the New York Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (the “RPAPL”). In such case, Mortgagee may commence a civil action to foreclose this Mortgage pursuant to Article 13 of the RPAPL.

     (f) New York Real Property Law Article 4-A. If this Mortgage shall be deemed to constitute a “mortgage investment” as defined by New York Real Property Law Section 125, then this Mortgage shall and hereby does confer upon Mortgagee the powers, and impose upon Mortgagor the duties, of trustees set forth in New York Real Property Law Section 126.

     (g) Trust Fund. Pursuant to Section 13 of the Lien Law of New York, Mortgagor shall receive the advances secured hereby and shall hold the right to receive such advances as a trust fund to be applied first for the purpose of paying the cost of any improvement and shall apply such advances first to the payment of the cost of any such improvement on the Mortgaged Property before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.

25


Mortgagor will indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from and against any loss, liability, cost or expense, including any judgments, attorneys’ fees, costs of appeal bonds or printing costs, arising out of or relating to any proceedings instituted by any claimant alleging a violation by Mortgagor of Article 3-A of the New York Lien Law.

     (g) Statement in Accordance with Section 274-a of the New York Real Property Law. Mortgagee shall, within fifteen (15) days after written request, provide Mortgagor with the statement required by Section 274-a of the New York Real Property Law.

     (i) Article 3-A of the Lien Law. Mortgagor agrees that it shall indemnify and hold Mortgagee and its successors and assigns harmless against any loss, liability, cost or expense arising out of or relating to any proceedings instituted by any claimant alleging priority over the lien of this Mortgage or alleging a violation by Mortgagor or Mortgagee of any section of Article 3-A of the New York Lien Law.

     NOW THEREFORE, if Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid (i) the principal and the premium, if any, and interest on the Note and (ii) all other Indebtedness and sums payable hereunder, and if Mortgagor shall comply with all the terms, conditions and requirements hereof, then this Mortgage shall be null and void and of no further force and effect and shall be released by Mortgagee upon the written request of Mortgagor with all reasonable costs relating to the recordation of such release paid by Mortgagor, otherwise to remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by Mortgagor, and upon payment of (i) the principal and the premium, if any, and interest on the Note and (ii) all other Indebtedness and sums payable hereunder, and if Mortgagor has complies with all the terms, conditions and requirements hereof, Mortgagee will assign this Mortgage and deliver the Note with an allonge to such party as Mortgagor shall designate, without recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever except a representation that Mortgagee has not previously assigned, and, if requested by Mortgagor, shall provide an executed termination and release with respect to the other Loan Documents, except to the extent that any obligations under such Loan Documents, by their terms or by applicable law, survive the repayment of the Loan. If any original note is lost or destroyed, Mortgagee shall provide a reasonable lost note affidavit. Mortgagor shall pay Mortgagee’s reasonable costs incurred in discharging or assigning this Mortgage, as applicable.
