"Transfer" is specifically intended to include any pledge or assignment, directly or indirectly, of a controlling interest in Mortgagor or its general partner, controlling member, or controlling limited partner for purposes of securing so-called "mezzanine" indebtedness to such transferor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.9, "transfer" shall not include (A) the leasing of individual units within the Project so long as Mortgagor complies with the provisions of the Loan Documents relating to such leasing activity; or (B) the transfers of limited partner, membership, or other ownership interests in Mortgagor so long as such transfers, alone or in the aggregate, do not result in the transfer of a controlling interest or more than 49% of the ownership or beneficial interest in the Mortgagor and the provisions of Sections 3.9(a)(ii) and 3.9(a)(iii) are satisfied. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.9 to the contrary, no transfer shall be permitted which would be in violation of the covenants set forth in Section 6.16 of the Loan Agreement. (c) Mortgagee shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Indebtedness immediately due and payable upon Mortgagor's sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property Page 7 without Mortgagee's consent. This provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Mortgagee has consented to any previous sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property. (d) Mortgagee's consent to one sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property or any interest in Mortgagor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Mortgagee's right to require such consent to any future occurrence of same. Any sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property made in contravention of this paragraph shall be null and void and of no force and effect. (e) Mortgagor agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Mortgagee on demand for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, title search costs and title insurance endorsement premiums and Rating Agency [as defined below] fees and expenses) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any such sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer. (f) Mortgagee's consent to the sale or transfer of the Mortgaged Property will not be unreasonably withheld after consideration of all relevant factors, provided that: (i) no Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured; (ii) the proposed transferee ("Transferee") shall be a reputable entity or person of good character, creditworthy, with sufficient financial worth considering the obligations assumed and undertaken, as evidenced by financial statements and other information reasonably requested by Mortgagee and shall be a Single Purpose Entity; (iii) the Transferee and its property manager shall have sufficient experience in the ownership and management of properties similar to the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagee shall be provided with reasonable evidence thereof (and Mortgagee reserves the right to approve the Transferee without approving the substitution of the property manager); (iv) Mortgagee shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies (as hereinafter defined) to the effect that such transfer will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially assigned or to be assigned in a Secondary Market Page 8 Transaction.

(b) Entry on Mortgaged Property. Enter the Mortgaged Property and take exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto.

Mortgagee may be a purchaser at such sale and if Mortgagee is the highest bidder, may credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Mortgagee against the Indebtedness in lieu of paying cash. (e) Receiver. Make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Mortgagor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Indebtedness, the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7. (f) UCC. Exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the personal property or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the personal property, and (ii) request Mortgagor at its expense to assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a convenient place acceptable to Mortgagee.

Section 4.4 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to a consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interests created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their stature as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property. For payment of the Indebtedness, Mortgagee may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect. Section 4.5 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment, (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of Mortgagee's election to exercise or its actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents, and (c) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied by Mortgagee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in the following order unless otherwise required by applicable law: Page 11 (a) to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of taking possession of the Mortgaged Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the same, including, without limitation (i) receiver's fees and expenses, (ii) court costs, (iii) reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and expenses, (iv) costs of advertisement, (v) insurance premiums and (vi) the payment of all ground rent, real estate taxes and assessments, except any taxes, assessments or other charges subject to which the Mortgaged Property shall have been sold; (b) to the payment of all amounts (including interest), other than the unpaid principal balance of the Note and accrued but unpaid interest, which may be due to Mortgagee under the Loan Documents; (c) to the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations in such manner and order of preference as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) the balance, if any, to the payment of the persons legally entitled thereto. Section 4.8 Occupancy After Foreclosure. The purchaser at any foreclosure sale pursuant to Section 4.1(d) shall become the legal owner of the Mortgaged Property. All occupants of the Mortgaged Property shall, at the option of such purchaser, become tenants of the purchaser at the foreclosure sale and shall deliver possession thereof immediately to the purchaser upon demand. It shall not be necessary for the purchaser at said sale to bring any action for possession of the Mortgaged Property other than the statutory action of forcible detainer in any justice court having jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property. Section 4.9 Additional Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement. (a) If any Event of Default exists, Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Mortgagee under this Section 4.9, or otherwise under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage. (b) Mortgagor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Indebtedness or any claim under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Mortgagee in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. Page 12 Section 4.10 No Mortgagee in Possession. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article 4, the assignment of the Rents and Leases under Article 5, the security interests under Article 6, nor any other remedies afforded to Mortgagee under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause Mortgagee to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Mortgagee to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise. Section 4.11 Actions and Proceedings. Mortgagee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor, which Mortgagee, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property. ARTICLE 5 --------- ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS ------------------------------ Section 5.1 Assignment. Mortgagor acknowledges and confirms that it has executed and delivered to Mortgagee an Assignment of Leases and Rents of even date (the "Assignment of Leases and Rents"), intending that such instrument create a present, absolute assignment to Mortgagee of the Leases and Rents and not an assignment as security for the performance of the obligations under the Loan Documents, or payment of the Indebtedness. Without limiting the intended benefits or the remedies provided under the Assignment of Leases and Rents, Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee, as further security for the Indebtedness and the Obligations, the Leases and Rents. While any Event of Default exists, Mortgagee shall be entitled to exercise any or all of the remedies provided in the Assignment of Leases and Rents and in Article 4 hereof, including, without limitation, the right to have a receiver appointed. If any conflict or inconsistency exists between the assignment of the Rents and the Leases in this Mortgage and the absolute assignment of the Rents and the Leases in the Assignment of Leases and Rents, the terms of the Assignment of Leases and Rents shall control. Section 5.2 No Merger of Estates. So long as any part of the Indebtedness and the Obligations secured hereby remain unpaid and undischarged, the fee and leasehold estates to the Mortgaged Property shall not merge, but shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates either in Mortgagor, Mortgagee, any lessee or any third party by purchase or otherwise. ARTICLE 6 --------- SECURITY AGREEMENT ------------------ Section 6.1 Security Interest. This Mortgage constitutes a "Security Agreement" on personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law and with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Plans, Leases, Rents and Property Agreements.

Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Plans, Leases, Rents and Property Agreements sent to Mortgagor at least ten (10) days prior to any action under the UCC shall constitute reasonable notice to Mortgagor. Section 6.2 Financing Statements. Mortgagor shall execute and deliver to Mortgagee, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee, such financing statements and such further assurances as Mortgagee may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Mortgagee's security interest hereunder and Mortgagee may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest. Mortgagor's state of organization is the State of Delaware and its chief executive office is in the State of New York at the address set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. Section 6.3 Fixture Filing. This Mortgage shall also constitute a "fixture filing" for the purposes of the UCC against all of the Mortgaged Property which is or is to become fixtures and shall be filed for recording in the applicable land records. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained at the addresses of Debtor (Mortgagor) and Secured Party (Mortgagee) as set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Mortgage or any financing statement relating thereto shall be sufficient as a financing statement and shall be filed and indexed in the real estate records of each county in which the Land or any part thereof is located. ARTICLE 7 --------- MISCELLANEOUS ------------- Section 7.1 Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Mortgagor and Mortgagee with respect to the Loan are hereby expressly limited so that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Mortgagee or charged by Mortgagee for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount allowed by law. If the Loan would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is located and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited on the Indebtedness; and (b) if maturity is accelerated by reason of an election by Mortgagee, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. In Page 14 such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof. If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under applicable law, then such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Indebtedness. The Loan Documents are contracts made under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State, except that if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit Mortgagee to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of the State (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the rate of interest which Mortgagee may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents. Section 7.2 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Mortgage shall be (a) in writing, (b) sent in the manner set forth in the Loan Agreement, and (c) effective in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. Section 7.3 Covenants Running with the Land. All Obligations contained in this Mortgage are intended by Mortgagor and Mortgagee to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Mortgaged Property. As used herein, "Mortgagor" shall refer to the party named in the first paragraph of this Mortgage and to any subsequent owner of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property (without in any way implying that Mortgagee has or will consent to any such conveyance or transfer of the Mortgaged Property). All persons or entities who may have or acquire an interest in the Mortgaged Property shall be deemed to have notice of, and be bound by, the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; however, no such party shall be entitled to any rights thereunder without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Section 7.4 Attorney-in-Fact. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, (a) to execute and/or record any notices of completion, cessation of labor or any other notices that Mortgagee deems appropriate to protect Mortgagee's interest, if Mortgagor shall fail to do so within ten (10) days after written request by Mortgagee, (b) upon the issuance of a deed pursuant to the foreclosure of this Mortgage or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, to execute all instruments of assignment, conveyance or further assurance with respect to the Leases, Rents, Personalty, Fixtures, Plans and Property Agreements in favor of the grantee of any such deed and as may be necessary or desirable for such purpose, (c) to prepare, execute and file or record financing statements, continuation statements, applications for registration and like papers necessary to create, perfect or preserve Mortgagee's security interests and rights in or to any of the collateral, and (d) while any Event of Default exists, to perform any obligation of Mortgagor hereunder; however: (i) Mortgagee shall not under any circumstances be obligated to perform any obligation of Mortgagor; (ii) any sums advanced by Mortgagee in such performance shall be added to and included in the Indebtedness and shall bear interest at the Default Rate; (iii) Mortgagee as such attorney-in-fact shall only be accountable for such funds as are actually received by Mortgagee; and (iv) Mortgagee shall not be liable to Mortgagor or any other person or entity for any failure to take any action which it is empowered to take under this Section. Page 15 Section 7.5 Successors and Assigns. This Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and Mortgagor and their respective successors and assigns. Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, assign any rights, duties or obligations hereunder. Section 7.6 No Waiver. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same, and Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to insist upon strict performance of all of such terms, provisions and conditions. Section 7.7 Subrogation. To the extent proceeds of the Note have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness against the Mortgaged Property, then Mortgagee shall be subrogated to all of the rights, liens and interests existing against the Mortgaged Property and held by the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, liens and interests, if any, are not waived, but are continued in full force and effect in favor of Mortgagee. Section 7.8 Loan Agreement. If any conflict or inconsistency exists between this Mortgage and the Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreement shall govern. Section 7.9 Release. Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness and performance in full of the Obligations, Mortgagee, at Mortgagor's expense, shall release the liens and security interests created by this Mortgage pursuant to forms of release or satisfaction as shall be sufficient to record in the public records in order to release all such liens of record. Section 7.10 Waiver of Stay, Moratorium and Similar Rights. Mortgagor agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any way take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, marshalling of assets, extension, redemption or moratorium law now or hereafter in force and effect so as to prevent or hinder the enforcement of the provisions of this Mortgage or the indebtedness secured hereby, or any agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee or any rights or remedies of Mortgagee. Section 7.11 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Mortgage, Mortgagor's liability under this Mortgage is subject to the limitation on liability provisions of Article 12 of the Loan Agreement. Section 7.12 Obligations of Mortgagor, Joint and Several. If more than one person or entity has executed this Mortgage as "Mortgagor," the obligations of all such persons or entities hereunder shall be joint and several. Section 7.13 Governing Law. This Mortgage shall be governed by the laws of the State and the applicable laws of the United States of America. Section 7.14 Headings. The Article, Section and Subsection titles hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of such Articles, Sections or Subsections. Page 16 Section 7.15 Entire Agreement. This Mortgage and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Mortgagee and Mortgagor and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. Section 7.16 Counterparts. This Mortgage may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document. ARTICLE 8 --------- SPECIAL STATE PROVISIONS ------------------------ Section 8.1 Future Advances. This Mortgage is an Open-End Mortgage as defined in 42 Pa.C.S.A. ss.8143(f). Without the limiting of any other provisions of this Mortgage, Mortgagee may make future advances, and this Mortgage shall secure repayment of such advances and the interest thereon, for the payment of taxes, assessments, maintenance charges, insurance premiums, or costs similar or dissimilar, incurred for the protection and preservation of the Mortgaged Property or for the lien of this Mortgage, expenses incurred by Mortgagee by reason of default by Mortgagor, or advances made under a construction loan to enable the completion of the improvements for which the construction loan was originally made. Section 8.2 Miscellaneous Pennsylvania Provisions. This Mortgage is intended to be a purchase money mortgage as defined in 42 Pa.C.S.A. ss.8141 and shall be entitled to all the benefits as such under the lien priority provisions of 42 Pa. C.S.A. ss.8141, as amended. Section 8.3 Advance Money Mortgage. If Mortgagor sends a written notice to Mortgagee, including a notice under 42 Pa.C.S.A. ss.8143, which purports to limit the Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and to release the obligations of Mortgagee to make additional advances to Mortgagor as contemplated by the Note, such notice shall be ineffective as to any future advances made: (a) to enable completion of improvements to the Mortgaged Property, the financing of which, in whole or in part, this Mortgage was given to secure; (b) to pay taxes, assessments, maintenance charges and insurance premiums; (c) for costs incurred for the protection and preservation of the Mortgaged Property or the lien of this Mortgage; (d) for expenses incurred by Mortgagee by reason of a default of Mortgagor hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents; and (e) for any other costs incurred by Mortgagee to protect and preserve the Mortgaged Property. 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 Mortgaged Property. Section 8.4 Notices to Mortgagee. Mortgagor agrees that any notice given by Mortgagor to Mortgagee purportedly pursuant to 42 Pa. C.S.A. ss.8143 shall be Page 17 given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address of the Mortgagee set forth on the signature page of this Mortgage and only to such address, and such notice shall be deemed to have been received no earlier than the date actually and physically received at such address. NOW, THEREFORE, if the Note and other Indebtedness aforesaid and any additional notes which in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be secured hereby, and any extensions or renewals thereof, shall be well and truly paid according to their tenor, and if all agreements and provisions contained therein and in all such notes and herein are fully kept and performed, then this Mortgage shall become null and void; otherwise to remain in full force and effect.
