If, within ten (10) Business Days following the receipt by the Issuer of the Request Letter accompanied by the documentation required in paragraphs (i) through (viii), inclusive, above, the Issuer shall fail to request any clarification or completion of any of such documentation or to state that upon the basis of such documentation that no consent of the Issuer will be forthcoming to the entering into by the Company of such Facility Lease, then, the Issuer shall, subject to the next sentence, be deemed to have consented to the Company’s entering into of such Facility Lease.  If the Issuer shall consent (or be deemed to have consented) to such Facility Lease, such consent (or deemed consent) shall be conditioned upon:

Section 7.9.           Retention of Interest in Facility; Grant of Easements; Release of Portions of Facility.
 
(a)           The Company shall not sell, assign, encumber (other than Permitted Encumbrances), convey or otherwise dispose of its leasehold estate in the Facility under the Ground Lease, including the Improvements, or any part of the Facility or interest therein during the term of this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 3.5, Article V, Section 7.8, Section 7.31 or Section 8.2 or in this Section, without the prior written consents of the Issuer and of the Trustee, and any purported disposition without such consents shall be void.
 
(b)           The Company may, so long as there exists no Event of Default hereunder, grant such rights of way or easements over, across, or under, its leasehold interest in the Facility, or grant such permits or licenses in respect to the use thereof, free from this Agreement and the lien and security interest of the Mortgage, as shall be necessary or convenient in the opinion of the Company for the operation or use of the Facility, or required by any utility company for its utility business, provided that, in each case, such rights of way, easements, permits or licenses shall not adversely affect the use or operation of the Facility as the Approved Facility, and provided, further, that any consideration received by the Company from the granting of said rights-of-way, easements, permits or licenses shall be paid to the Trustee and deposited in the Redemption Account of the Bond Fund.

(d)           No conveyance or release effected under the provisions of this Section 7.9 shall entitle the Company to any abatement or diminution of the loan payments or other amounts payable under Section 4.3 or any other payments required to be made by the Company under this Agreement, the Promissory Note or any other Security Document to which it shall be a party.

Section 7.10.         Discharge of Liens and Claims.
 
(a)           If any lien, encumbrance or charge is filed or asserted (including any lien for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of materials), or any judgment, decree, order, levy or process of any court or governmental body is entered, made or issued (such liens, encumbrances, charges, judgments, decrees, orders, levies and processes being herein collectively called “Liens”), whether or not valid, is made against the Trust Estate, the Facility or any part thereof or the interest of the Company in the Facility, in the Ground Lease or in a Facility Lease, or against any of the loan payments or other amounts payable under this Agreement, the Promissory Note or any of the other Project Documents, or the interest of the Company in any Project Document, other than Liens for Impositions not yet payable, Permitted Encumbrances, or Liens being contested as permitted by Section 7.10(b), the Company forthwith upon receipt of notice of the filing, assertion, entry or issuance of such Lien (regardless of the source of such notice) shall give written notice thereof to the Issuer and the Trustee and take all action (including the payment of money and/or, to the extent applicable, the securing of a bond, with respect to any such Lien) at its own cost and expense as may be necessary or appropriate to obtain the discharge in full of such Lien and to remove or nullify the basis therefor.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as constituting the express or implied consent to or permission of the Issuer for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to any Lien not permitted under this Section 7.10(a).
 
(b)           The Company may at its sole cost and expense contest (after prior written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee), by appropriate action conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application, in whole or in part, of any Lien, if (i) such proceeding shall suspend the execution or enforcement of such Lien against the Trust Estate, the Facility or any part thereof or the interest of the Company in the Facility, in the Ground Lease or in a Facility Lease, or against any of the loan payments or other amounts payable under this Agreement, the Promissory Note or any of the other Project Documents, or the interest of the Company in any Project Document, (ii) neither the Facility nor any part thereof or interest therein, nor the Trust Estate or any portion thereof would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost, (iii) neither the Company, the Parent, the Issuer nor the Trustee would be in any danger of any criminal liability or any material civil liability, other than normal accrual of interest, for failure to comply therewith, and (iv) the Company or the Parent shall have furnished such security, if any, as may be required in such proceedings or as may be reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Trustee to protect the security intended to be offered by the Security Documents.
 
Section 7.11.         Filing.
 
(a)           The security interest granted by the Issuer to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture in the rights and other intangible interests described therein, shall be perfected by the filing of financing statements at the direction of the Issuer (at the sole cost and expense of the Company) in the office of the Secretary of State of the State in the City of Albany, New York, and in the appropriate office of the Register of the City, which financing statements shall be in accordance with the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions.

(b)           The Issuer and the Company acknowledge that, as of the Closing Date,
 
(i)           Section 9-515 of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions provides that an initial financing statement filed in connection with a “public-financed transaction” is effective for a period of thirty (30) years after the date of filing if such initial financing statement indicates that it is filed in connection with a public financed transaction,
 
(ii)           Section 9-102(67) of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions defines a public-finance transaction as a secured transaction in connection with which, in substance, (x) bonds are issued, (y) all or a portion of the bonds have an initial stated maturity of at least twenty (20) years, and (z) the debtor, obligor, secured party or assignee with respect to the collateral or secured obligation is a governmental unit of a state, and
 
(iii)           subject to any future change in law, the initial financing statement as shall be filed with respect to the security interest described above shall therefore have an effective period of thirty (30) years after the date of filing, for the purpose of determining the date by which continuation statements shall be filed.
 
(c)           The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, because the foregoing financing statements evidence collateral for the Initial Bonds, and because the Initial Bonds are municipal securities with a term that is at least twenty (20) years in duration, there is no need under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York to re-file such financing statements in order to preserve the liens and security interests that they create for the period commencing with the Closing Date and terminating on the thirtieth anniversary of the Closing Date.
 
Subsequent to the foregoing recordation and filings, if in the Opinion of Counsel to the Company (described hereinbelow), to preserve (after the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date) the lien and security interest of the Indenture, it is necessary to re-record and/or reindex documents, re-file financing statements and/or file continuation statements and/or take any other actions (individually or collectively, the “Continuation Action(s)”), then, the Company in a timely manner shall: (A) as applicable, (i) prepare and deliver to the Trustee all necessary instruments and filing papers, together with remittances equal to the cost of required filing fees and other charges, so that the Trustee may perform the Continuation Actions, or (ii) electronically perform the Continuation Actions and deliver to the Trustee written certification (upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely) that such performance has occurred, specifying the Continuation Actions performed, or (iii) perform some of the Continuation Actions in the manner described in clause “(i)” and the others in the manner described in clause “(ii)”; and (B) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee the Opinion of Counsel to the Company as described below. The Trustee may conclusively rely upon (y) when applicable, the certification referred to in clause “(A)(ii),” and (z) in all instances, the Opinion of Counsel to the Company.  In the event the Company chooses to have the Trustee perform all or some of the Continuation Actions, as provided in clause “(A)(i)” hereinabove, the Trustee shall reasonably promptly perform such Continuation Actions at the Company’s sole expense.  The Company shall perform the obligations described hereinabove in clauses “(A)” and “(B)” no later than ten (10) days prior to (i)(y) the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) each fifth (5th) anniversary thereafter, and/or (ii) the date (not covered by clause “(i)”) on which a Continuation Action is to be taken to preserve the lien and security interest of the Indenture.

The Opinion of Counsel to the Company shall be addressed to the Company, the Issuer and the Trustee.  Counsel shall deliver successive Opinions of Counsel in respect of (i)(y) the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) every five-year period thereafter through the term of the Initial Bonds, and/or (ii) the date of any required Continuation Action not covered by clause “(i),” in each case not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which a Continuation Action is required to be taken.  In the Opinion of Counsel to the Company, counsel shall opine as to: (i) what Continuation Actions are necessary; and (ii) the deadline dates for the required Continuation Actions; and (iii) the jurisdictions in which the Continuation Actions must be effected.  Counsel in such opinion shall additionally opine that, upon performance of the Continuation Actions by, as the case may be, (i) the Trustee with instruments and papers prepared by the Company, or (ii) the Company through electronic filing, or (iii) the Trustee as to some Continuation Actions, and the Company as to the others through electronic filings, all appropriate steps shall have been taken on the part of the Company, the Issuer and the Trustee then requisite to the maintenance of the perfection of the security interest of the Trustee in and to all property and interests which by the terms of the Indenture are to be subjected to the lien and security interest of the Indenture.
 
(d)           Any filings with respect to the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements may be made electronically, and the Issuer shall have the right to designate a company (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) to facilitate the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.
 
(e)           The Company acknowledges and agrees that neither the Issuer nor the Trustee, nor any of their respective directors, members, officers, employees, servants, agents, persons under its control or supervision, or attorneys (including Bond Counsel to the Issuer), shall have any responsibility or liability whatsoever related in any way to the filing or re-filing of any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or continuation statements, or the perfection or continuation of perfection of any security interests, or the recording or rerecording of any document, or the failure to effect any act referred to in this Section, or the failure to effect any such act in all appropriate filing or recording offices, or the failure of sufficiency of any such act so effected.
 
(f)           The Company agrees to perform all other acts (including the payment of all fees and expenses) necessary in order to enable the Issuer and the Trustee to comply with this Section and with Section 7.07 of the Indenture, including but not limited to, providing prompt notice to the Trustee of any change in either of the name or address of the Company.  The Company agrees that the Issuer and the Trustee, if permitted by applicable law, may provide for the re-recording of the Indenture or any other Security Document or the filing or re-filing of continuation statements without the cooperation of the Company as necessary at the sole cost and expense of the Company.
 
Section 7.12.         No Further Encumbrances Permitted.  The Company shall not create, permit or suffer to exist any mortgage, encumbrance, lien, security interest, claim or charge against the Trust Estate, the Facility or any part thereof, or the interest of the Company in the Facility, in the Ground Lease or in a Facility Lease, or the interest of the Company in any Project Document, except for Permitted Encumbrances.  The Company covenants that it shall take or cause to be taken all action, including all filing and recording, as may be necessary to ensure that there are no mortgage liens on, or security interests in, the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Mortgage) prior to the mortgage liens thereon, and security interests therein, granted by the Mortgage.

ARTICLE X
 
CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE BONDS
 
Section 10.1.         Issuance of Additional Bonds.  If a Series of Additional Bonds are to be issued pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer and the Company shall enter into an amendment to the Promissory Note and this Agreement, providing, among other things, for the payment by the Company of such additional loan payments as are necessary in order to amortize in full the principal of and interest on such Series of Additional Bonds and any other costs in connection therewith.
 
Any such completion, repair, relocation, replacement, rebuilding, restoration, additions, extensions or improvements shall become a part of the Facility and shall be included under this Agreement to the same extent as if originally included hereunder.
 
Section 10.2.         Determination of Taxability.  f) If any Holder of Bonds receives from the Internal Revenue Service a notice of assessment and demand for payment with respect to interest on any Bond (except a notice and demand based upon the assertion that the Bondholder is a “substantial user”, as defined in Section 147 of the Code, or a “related person”, as defined in the Tax Regulatory Agreement), an appeal may be taken by such Holder at the option of either such Holder or the Company.  If such appeal is taken at the option of the Company (exercised in accordance with the procedures set forth in the definition of “Determination of Taxability”), all expenses of the appeal including reasonable counsel fees shall be paid by the Company, and the Company shall control the procedures and terms relating to such appeal, and such Holder and the Company shall cooperate and consult with each other in all matters pertaining to any such appeal which the Company has elected to take, except that no Holder of Bonds shall be required to disclose or furnish any non-publicly disclosed information, including without limitation, financial information and tax returns.  Before the taking of any appeal which the Company has elected to take, however, the Bondholder shall have the right to require the Company to pay the tax assessed and conduct the appeal as a contest for reimbursement.
 
(b)           Not later than one hundred twenty (120) days following a Determination of Taxability, the Company shall pay to the Trustee an amount sufficient, when added to the amounts then in the Bond Fund and available for such purpose, to retire and redeem all Bonds then Outstanding, in accordance with the Indenture.  The Bonds shall be redeemed in whole unless redemption of a portion of the Bonds Outstanding would have the result that interest payable on the Bonds remaining Outstanding after such redemption would not be includable in the gross income of any Holder of a Bond (other than a Holder who is a “substantial user” of the Facility or a “related person”, within the meaning of the Code).  In such event, the Bonds shall be redeemed in such amount as is deemed necessary in the opinion of Nationally Recognized Bond Counsel to accomplish that result.
 
(c)           The obligation of the Company to make the payments provided for in this Section shall be absolute and unconditional, and the failure of the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person to execute or deliver or cause to be delivered any documents or to take any action required under this Agreement or otherwise shall not relieve the Company of its obligation under this Section.
 
 
lxxxv

 
Section 10.3.         Mandatory Redemption of Bonds as Directed by the Issuer.
 
g) Upon the determination by the Issuer that (w) the Company is operating the Facility or any portion thereof, or is allowing the Facility or any portion thereof to be operated, not as a qualified “project” in accordance with the Act and the failure of the Company within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the Company of written notice of such noncompliance from the Issuer to cure such noncompliance together with a copy of such resolution (a copy of which notice shall be sent to the Trustee), (x) the Company, any Principal of the Company or any Person that directly or indirectly Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Company has committed a material violation of a material Legal Requirement and the failure of the Company within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the Company of written notice of such determination from the Issuer to cure such material violation (which cure, in the case of a Principal who shall have committed the material violation of a material Legal Requirement, may be effected by the removal of such Principal), (y) as set forth in Section 8.8, any Conduct Representation is false, misleading or incorrect in any material respect at any date, as if made on such date, or (z) a Required Disclosure Statement delivered to the Issuer under any Project Document is not acceptable to the Issuer acting in its sole discretion, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall, no later than ten (10) days following the termination of such thirty (30) day period, pay to the Trustee advance loan payments in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to redeem the Bonds Outstanding in whole at the Redemption Price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds together with interest accrued thereon to the redemption date.  The Issuer shall give prior written notice of the meeting at which the Board of Directors of the Issuer are to consider such resolution to the Company and the Trustee, which notice shall be no less than fifteen (15) days prior to such meeting.
 
(b)           In the event the Company fails to obtain or maintain the public liability insurance with respect to the Facility required under Section 7.1, and the Company shall fail to cure such circumstance within ten (10) days of the receipt by the Company of written notice of such noncompliance from the Issuer and a demand by the Issuer on the Company to cure such noncompliance, upon notice or waiver of notice as provided in the Indenture, the Company shall pay to the Trustee advance loan payments in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to redeem the Bonds Outstanding in whole at the Redemption Price of one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid principal amount of the Bonds, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of redemption.
 
Section 10.4.         Right to Cure Issuer Defaults.  The Issuer hereby grants the Company full authority for account of the Issuer to perform any covenant or obligation the non-performance of which is alleged to constitute a default in any notice received by the Company, in the name and stead of the Issuer, with full power of substitution.
 
Section 10.5.         Option to Purchase or Invite Tenders of Bonds.  The Company shall have the option, at any time during the term of this Agreement, to purchase Bonds for its own account, whether by direct negotiation, through a broker or dealer, or by making a tender offer to the Holders thereof.  The Bonds so purchased  by the Company or by any Affiliate of the Company (including the Parent) shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation within ninety (90) days of the date of purchase unless the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and the Issuer an opinion of Nationally Recognized Bond Counsel to the effect that the failure to surrender such Bonds by such date will not affect the exclusion of the interest on any Bonds then Outstanding from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
 
 
lxxxvi

 
Section 10.6.         Investment of Funds.  Any moneys held as part of the Rebate Fund, the Earnings Fund, the Project Fund, the Bond Fund, the Additional Interest Deposit Fund or the Renewal Fund or in any special fund provided for in this Agreement or in the Indenture to be invested in the same manner as in any said Fund shall, at the written request of an Authorized Representative of the Company, be invested and reinvested by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture (but subject to the provisions of the Tax Regulatory Agreement).  Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any of their members, directors, officers, agents, servants or employees shall be liable for any depreciation in the value of any such investments or for any loss arising therefrom.
 
Interest and profit derived from such investments shall be credited and applied as provided in the Indenture, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be similarly charged.
 
Section 10.7.         Deposit to Additional Interest Deposit Fund.  On or prior to the Commencement Date, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee the amount of $4,000,000 for deposit in the Advance Interest Deposit Fund.

MISCELLANEOUS
 
Section 11.1.         Force Majeure.  In case by reason of force majeure either party hereto shall be rendered unable wholly or in part to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, then except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if such party shall give notice and full particulars of such force majeure in writing to the other party within a reasonable time after occurrence of the event or cause relied on, the obligations of the party giving such notice (other than (i) the obligations of the Company to make (or cause to be made) the loan payments or other payments required under the terms hereof and under the Promissory Note, or (ii) the obligations of the Company to comply with Sections 7.1 or 7.2), so far as they are affected by such force majeure, shall be suspended during the continuance of the inability then claimed, which shall include a reasonable time for the removal of the effect thereof, but for no longer period, and such party shall endeavor to remove or overcome such inability with all reasonable dispatch.  The term “force majeure” shall mean acts of God, strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances, acts of the public enemy, orders of any kind of the Government of the United States or of the State or any civil or military authority, insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, storms, floods, washouts, droughts, arrest, restraining of government and people, war, terrorism, civil disturbances, explosions, partial or entire failure of utilities, shortages of labor, material, supplies or transportation, or any other similar or different cause not reasonably within the control of the party claiming such inability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Company’s financial condition or inability to obtain financing constitute a force majeure.  It is understood and agreed that the requirements that any force majeure shall be reasonably beyond the control of the party and shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall be deemed to be satisfied in the event of a strike or other industrial disturbance even though existing or impending strikes or other industrial disturbances could have been settled by the party claiming a force majeure hereunder by acceding to the demands of the opposing person or persons.
 
The Company shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Trustee upon the occurrence of each force majeure, describing such force majeure and its effects in reasonable detail.  The Company shall also promptly notify the Issuer and the Trustee upon the termination of each such force majeure.  The information set forth in any such notice shall not be binding upon the Issuer or the Trustee, and the Issuer or the Trustee shall be entitled to dispute the existence of any force majeure and any of the contentions contained in any such notice received from the Company.
 
Section 11.2.         Pledge under Indenture and Mortgage.  Pursuant to the Mortgage, the Company will mortgage its interest in the Facility under the Ground Lease to the Trustee as security for the Bonds and the obligations of the Company and of the Parent under the Security Documents.  Pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer will pledge and assign the Promissory Note and the loan payments and certain other moneys receivable under this Agreement to the Trustee as security for the payment of the principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, of, Sinking Fund Installments for, Purchase Price and interest on the Bonds.

For such time as any of the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Company under this Agreement remain unsatisfied, the Company’s agent(s) designated in this Section 11.4 shall accept and acknowledge on the Company’s behalf each service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.  The Company agrees and consents that each such service of process upon such agents and written notice of such service to the Company in the manner set forth in Section 11.5 shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the Company whether or not the Company shall then be doing, or at any time shall have done, business within the State and that each such service of process shall be of the same force and validity as if service were made upon the Company according to the laws governing the validity and requirements of such service in the State, and waives all claim of error by reason of any such service.

SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
 
THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of the _________ day of ____________________, 2010 by and between THE BANK OF NEW YORK-MELLON, AS TRUSTEE, having an address 101 Barclay Street, 7W, New York, New York 10286 ("Trustee") and________., having an address at ____________________________ ("Tenant").


RECITALS:

A.           Tenant is the holder of a leasehold estate in a portion of the property known as City Point, Site 1A, located at 1 DeKalb Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, as more particularly described on Exhibit A (the "Property") under and pursuant to the provisions of a certain lease dated _________ between Albee Retail Development LLC, as landlord ("Landlord") and Tenant, as tenant (as amended through the date hereof, the "Lease");

B.           The Property is or is to be encumbered by one or more mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or similar security agreements (collectively, the "Security Instrument") from Landlord, or its successor in interest, in favor of Trustee; and

C.           Tenant has agreed to subordinate the Lease to the Security Instrument and to the lien thereof and Trustee has agreed to grant non-disturbance to Tenant under the Lease on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:

1.           Subordination.  The Lease shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien and terms of the Security Instrument, to any and all advances to be made thereunder and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
 
2.           Nondisturbance.  So long as Tenant pays all rents and other charges as specified in the Lease and is not otherwise in default (beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods) of any of its obligations and covenants pursuant to the Lease, Trustee agrees for itself and its successors in interest and for any other person acquiring title to the Property through a foreclosure (an "Acquiring Party"), that Tenant's possession of the premises as described in the Lease will not be disturbed during the term of the Lease, as said term may be extended pursuant to the terms of the Lease or as said premises may be expanded as specified in the Lease, by reason of a foreclosure.  For purposes of this agreement, a "foreclosure" shall include (but not be limited to) a sheriff's or trustee's sale under the power of sale contained in the Security Instrument, the termination of any superior lease of the Property and any other transfer of the Landlord's interest in the Property under peril of foreclosure, including, without limitation, to the generality of the foregoing, an assignment or sale in lieu of foreclosure.

3.           Attornment.  Tenant agrees to attorn to, accept and recognize any Acquiring Party as the landlord under the Lease pursuant to the provisions expressly set forth therein for the then remaining balance of the term of the Lease, and any extensions thereof as made pursuant to the Lease.  The foregoing provision shall be self-operative and shall not require the execution of any further instrument or agreement by Tenant as a condition to its effectiveness.  Tenant agrees, however, to execute and deliver, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of the Trustee or any Acquiring Party any reasonable instrument which may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment.
 
 
 

 
4.           No Liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Lease, it is specifically understood and agreed that neither the Trustee, any receiver nor any Acquiring Party shall be:
 
(a)           liable for any act, omission, negligence or default of any prior landlord (other than to cure defaults of a continuing nature with respect to the maintenance or repair of the demised premises or the Property); provided, however, that any Acquiring Party shall be liable and responsible for the performance of all covenants and obligations of landlord under the Lease accruing from and after the date that it takes title to the Property; or
 
(b)           except as set forth in (a) above, liable for any failure of any prior landlord to construct any improvements;
 
(c)           subject to any offsets, credits, claims or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord; or
 
(d)           bound by any rent or additional rent which is payable on a monthly basis and which Tenant might have paid for more than one (1) month in advance to any prior landlord; or
 
(e)           be liable to Tenant hereunder or under the terms of the Lease beyond its interest in the Property.
 
(f)           liable or responsible for or with respect to the retention, application and or/return to the Tenant of any security deposit paid to Borrower or any prior Landlord, unless and until Trustee or such Acquiring Party has actually received for its own account as landlord the full amount of such security deposit.
 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant reserves its rights to any and all claims or causes of action against such prior landlord for prior losses or damages and against the successor landlord for all losses or damages arising from and after the date that such successor landlord takes title to the Property.
 
5.           Rent.  Tenant has notice that the Lease and the rents and all other sums due thereunder have been assigned to Trustee as security for the loan secured by the Security Instrument.  In the event Trustee furnishes written notice to Tenant of the occurrence of a default under the Security Instrument and demands that Tenant pay its rents and all other sums due or to become due under the Lease directly to Trustee, Tenant shall honor such demand and pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Trustee or as otherwise authorized in writing by Trustee.  Landlord hereby irrevocably authorizes Tenant to make the foregoing payments to Trustee upon such notice and demand.

6.           Trustee to Receive Notices.  Tenant shall notify Trustee of any default by Landlord under the Lease which would entitle Tenant to cancel the Lease, and agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary, no notice of cancellation thereof shall be effective unless Trustee shall have received notice of default giving rise to such cancellation and shall have failed within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice to cure such default, or if such default cannot be cured within sixty (60) days, shall have failed within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice to commence and thereafter diligently pursue any action necessary to cure such default.
 
 
 

 
7.           NOTICES.  All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given (i) upon delivery, if delivered in person with receipt acknowledged by the recipient thereof, (ii) one (1) Business Day (hereinafter defined) after having been deposited for overnight delivery with any reputable overnight courier service, or (iii) three (3) Business Days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service and sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the receiving party at its address set forth above, and:

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Initial Bond delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Initial Bond shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Initial Bond and each such Initial Bond shall bear interest from such date, so that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or substitution.
 
(g)           The Initial Bonds are issuable in the form of fully registered bonds in the Authorized Denominations.
 
(h)           Anything in the Initial Bonds or in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Issuer hereunder and under the Initial Bonds shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest or other amounts on the Initial Bonds shall not be required to the extent that receipt of any such payment by a Holder of an Initial Bond would be contrary to the provisions of law applicable to such Holder which would limit the maximum rate of interest which may be charged or collected by such Holder of an Initial Bond.

Section 2.03.      Determination of Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate.  iii) For the Initial Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, the Initial Bonds shall bear interest at seven and one-quarter percent (7¼%) per annum.  The interest rate payable on the Initial Bonds shall be adjusted on each Adjustment Date in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Initial Bonds.
 
(b)           Each Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term (other than the Initial Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term which shall commence on the Closing Date) shall commence on the Adjustment Date immediately following the end of the preceding Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term and will continue to but excluding the next succeeding Adjustment Date.  For each Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term after the Initial Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term shall be a period determined at the direction of the Company which is equal to one (1) whole year or any integral multiple of whole years, but in no event shall any such Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term extend beyond the Final Maturity Date of the Initial Bonds.  The Business Day immediately following the last day of each Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term as determined pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) shall be the Adjustment Date.  The Initial Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on each Adjustment Date pursuant to Section 2.03(h).
 
(c)           Subject to subsection (e) below, the interest rate applicable to the Initial Bonds on and after each Adjustment Date shall be the interest rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on the Determination Date immediately preceding such Adjustment Date.  The Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate applicable to the Initial Bonds shall be the lower of (i) the lowest rate which, in the best professional judgment of the Remarketing Agent (having due regard to the prevailing market conditions), would be necessary to enable the Initial Bonds to be sold at par on the Adjustment Date, provided that the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate shall not exceed the Maximum Rate, or (ii) The Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index (as published in The Bond Buyer or any successor publication thereto) for the most recent period for which such information is available as of the date the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate is established, plus two hundred fifty (250) basis points.  Upon such determination of the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate, the Remarketing Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Company of the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate.  Not less than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Adjustment Date, the Trustee shall promptly notify each Holder of the Initial Bonds of the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate which will be applicable to the Initial Bonds during the next succeeding Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term.
 
(d)           The interest rate on the Initial Bonds (other than for the Initial Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term) will not be reset on any Adjustment Date unless (i) at least thirty (30) days prior to such Adjustment Date and (ii) again on such Adjustment Date, the Company shall cause to be delivered at its expense to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent, a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel.  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel to be delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent by such date.  In the event that any such Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel is not delivered when required, the interest rate on the Initial Bonds then in effect shall remain in effect as the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate for the next succeeding Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, and the term of the next Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term shall be the shorter of (i) the same period as the immediately preceding Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, or (ii) the period until the Final Maturity Date of the Initial Bonds.
 
 
28

 
(e)           If the Remarketing Agent is unable to remarket all of the Initial Bonds at the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent pursuant to subsection (c) above, the Remarketing Agent may at any time prior to the Adjustment Date increase the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate to that rate of interest which, as of the date of determination, is the lowest rate which, in the best professional judgment of the Remarketing Agent (having due regard to the prevailing market conditions), would be necessary to enable the Initial Bonds to be sold at par on the Adjustment Date; provided, however, that such re-determined Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate shall not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate.  No more than five (5) days prior to the Adjustment Date, the Trustee shall notify by mail the Company and the Holders of the Initial Bonds of any such revision in the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate.  The Remarketing Agent shall not increase the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate later than five (5) days prior to the Adjustment Date (except with the consent of the Company) and notice of the increased Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate shall in that event be given by the Remarketing Agent concurrently to the Trustee and the Company.
 
(f)           If, for any reason, the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate for the Initial Bonds is not or cannot be determined by the Remarketing Agent in the manner specified above, the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate will be equal to the closing yield, plus two hundred fifty (250) basis points, for Treasury Bills, Notes or Bonds, as applicable, of the maturity closest to, without exceeding, the term of the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term determined in accordance with Section 2.03(b), as such yield is published in the table captioned “U.S. Securities Prices” in the edition of The Bond Buyer (or if The Bond Buyer or such table is no longer published, any other published similar rate as is determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion to be appropriate) published on the day on which such Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate is determined, or if such yield or other similar rate is not published on that day, the day of the most recent publication of such yield or other similar rate.
 
(g)           The determination in accordance with the Indenture of the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate to be borne by the Initial Bonds shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Initial Bonds and the Notice Parties.  Failure by the Trustee to give any notice required hereunder, or any defect therein, shall not affect the interest rate borne by the Initial Bonds.
 
(h)           On each Purchase Date, the Initial Bonds shall be subject to mandatory tender for purchase by the Tender Agent at the Purchase Price.
 
IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE BY HOLDERS OF INITIAL BONDS TO TENDER INITIAL BONDS FOR PURCHASE ON A PURCHASE DATE AS PROVIDED ABOVE, SAID HOLDERS OF INITIAL BONDS SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY PAYMENT (INCLUDING ANY INTEREST TO ACCRUE SUBSEQUENT TO THE PURCHASE DATE) OTHER THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR SUCH UNTENDERED INITIAL BONDS, AND THE HOLDERS OF ANY UNTENDERED INITIAL BONDS SHALL NO LONGER BE ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF THIS INDENTURE, EXCEPT FOR THE PURPOSE OF PAYMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE THEREOF, AND SHALL BE DEEMED PURCHASED, CANCELLED AND NO LONGER OUTSTANDING UNDER THIS INDENTURE.
 
 
29

 
(i)           The Trustee shall give notice to the Notice Parties and the registered Holders of the Initial Bonds, not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to each Purchase Date, which notice shall state:
 
(A)           the Purchase Date;
 
(B)           that an Interest Rate Change on the Initial Bonds will occur on the Adjustment Date;
 
(C)           the Determination Date for the next Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate;
 
(D)           the commencement and termination dates of the next Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term; and
 
(E)           that all Initial Bonds will be deemed sold to the Tender Agent on the Purchase Date at the Purchase Price, that such Initial Bonds should be delivered to the Principal Office of the Tender Agent by no later than 11:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date, and that said Holders of Initial Bonds deemed sold shall not be entitled to any payment (including any interest to accrue subsequent to the Purchase Date) other than the Purchase Price for such untendered Initial Bonds.
 
(j)           Funds for the payment of the Purchase Price of Initial Bonds shall be derived solely from the following sources in the order of priority indicated and none of the Issuer, the Tender Agent, the Trustee nor the Remarketing Agent shall be obligated to provide funds from any other source:
 
(A)           immediately available funds on deposit in the Remarketing Account of the Purchase Fund; and
 
(B)           moneys of the Company on deposit in the Company Purchase Account.
 
Section 2.04.      Redemption of Initial Bonds.  iv) General Optional Redemption.  (1) During the Initial Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, the Initial Bonds shall be subject to redemption, on or after May 1, 2012, in whole at any time or in part on any Interest Payment Date (but if in part in integral multiples of $5,000 and in the minimum principal amount of $100,000) at the option of the Issuer (which option shall be exercised only upon the giving of notice by the Company of its intention to prepay loan payments due under the Loan Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3(c) thereof), at the Redemption Price of one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid principal amount of the Initial Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.
 
 
30

 
(ii)           During any Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term (other than the Initial Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term), the Initial Bonds shall be subject to redemption, in whole at any time or in part on any Interest Payment Date (but if in part in integral multiples of $5,000 and in the minimum principal amount of $100,000) at the option of the Issuer (which option shall be exercised only upon the giving of notice by the Company of its intention to prepay loan payments due under the Loan Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3(c) thereof), at the Redemption Price of one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid principal amount of the Initial Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption, commencing on or after that date (the “First Optional Redemption Date”) as determined below:
 
(A)           if there shall be ten (10) or less years in such Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, the First Optional Redemption Date shall be the second (2nd) anniversary of the date of commencement of such Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, and
 
(B)           if there shall be more than ten (10) years in such Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, the First Optional Redemption Date shall be the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of commencement of such Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term.
 
(b)           Extraordinary Redemption.  The Initial Bonds are also subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Issuer exercised at the direction of the Company (which option shall be exercised only upon the giving of notice by the Company of its intention to prepay loan payments due under the Loan Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3(c) thereof), as a whole on any date, upon notice or waiver of notice as provided in this Indenture, at a Redemption Price of one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption if one or more of the following events shall have occurred:
 
(i)           The Facility shall have been damaged or destroyed to such extent that, as evidenced by a certificate of an Independent Engineer filed with the Issuer and the Trustee, (A) the Facility cannot be reasonably restored within a period of one year from the date of such damage or destruction to the condition thereof immediately preceding such damage or destruction, (B) the Company is thereby prevented or likely to be prevented from carrying on its normal operation at the Facility for a period of one year from the date of such damage or destruction, or (C) the restoration cost of the Facility would exceed the total amount of all insurance proceeds, including any deductible amount, in respect of such damage or destruction; or
 
(ii)           Title to, or the temporary use of, all or substantially all of the Facility shall have been taken or condemned by a competent authority which taking or condemnation results, or is likely to result, in the Company being thereby prevented or likely to be prevented from carrying on its normal operation at the Facility for a period of one year from the date of such taking or condemnation, as evidenced by a certificate of an Independent Engineer filed with the Issuer and the Trustee; or
 
 
31

 
(iii)           As a result of changes in the Constitution of the United States of America or of the State or of legislative or executive action of the State or any political subdivision thereof or of the United States of America or by final decree or judgment of any court after the contest thereof by the Company, the Loan Agreement becomes void or unenforceable or impossible of performance in accordance with the intent and purpose of the parties as expressed therein or unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities are imposed upon the Company by reason of the operation of the Facility.
 
If the Initial Bonds are to be redeemed in whole as a result of the occurrence of any of the events described above, the Company shall deliver to the Issuer and the Trustee a certificate of an Authorized Representative of the Company stating that, as a result of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such redemption, the Company has discontinued, or at the earliest practicable date will discontinue, its operation of the Facility for its intended purposes.

(d)           Mandatory Redemption from Excess Proceeds and Certain Other Amounts.  The Initial Bonds shall be redeemed at any time in whole or in part by lot prior to maturity in the event and to the extent
 
(i)           excess Bond proceeds shall remain after the completion of the Project,
 
 
33

 
(ii)           excess title insurance or property insurance proceeds or condemnation awards shall remain after the application thereof pursuant to the Loan Agreement and this Indenture, or
 
(iii)          excess proceeds shall remain after the release or substitution of fixtures or other portions of the Facility,
 
in each case at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Initial Bonds to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of redemption.
 
(e)           Mandatory Redemption Upon Failure to Operate the Facility for Approved Project Operations, Material Violation of Material Legal Requirements, False Representation or Failure to Maintain Liability Insurance.  The Initial Bonds are also subject to mandatory redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Issuer, as a whole only, in the event (i) the Issuer shall determine that (w) the Company is operating the Facility or any portion thereof, or is allowing the Facility or any portion thereof to be operated, not for the Approved Project Operations, (x) the Company, any Principal of the Company or any Person that directly or indirectly Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Company has committed a material violation of a material Legal Requirement, (y) any Conduct Representation is false, misleading or incorrect in any material respect at any date, as if made on such date, or (z) a Required Disclosure Statement delivered to the Issuer under any Project Document is not acceptable to the Issuer acting in its sole discretion, or (ii) the Company shall fail to obtain or maintain the public liability insurance with respect to the Facility required under the Loan Agreement, and, in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, the Company shall fail to cure any such default or failure within the applicable time periods set forth in the Loan Agreement following the receipt by the Company of written notice of such default or failure from the Issuer and a demand by the Issuer on the Company to cure the same.  Any such redemption shall be made upon notice or waiver of notice to the Bondholders as provided in this Indenture, at the Redemption Price of one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid principal amount of the Initial Bonds, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of redemption.
 
(f)           Mandatory Taxability Redemption.  Upon the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability, the Initial Bonds shall be redeemed prior to maturity on any date within one hundred twenty (120) days following such Determination of Taxability, at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest at the Taxable Rate from the occurrence of the Event of Taxability to the date of redemption.  The Initial Bonds shall be redeemed in whole unless redemption of a portion of the Initial Bonds Outstanding would have the result that interest payable on the Initial Bonds remaining Outstanding after such redemption would not be includable in the gross income of any Holder of an Initial Bond (other than a Holder who is a “substantial user” of the Facility or a “related person”, within the meaning of the Code).  In such event, the Initial Bonds shall be redeemed in such amount as is deemed necessary in the opinion of Nationally Recognized Bond Counsel to accomplish that result.
 
 
34

 
(g)           Purchase in Lieu of Optional Redemption.  In lieu of calling Initial Bonds for optional redemption, Initial Bonds shall be subject to mandatory tender for purchase at the direction of the Issuer, upon the direction of the Company, in whole or in part (and, if in part, in such manner as determined by the Company) on any date, at a Purchase Price equal to the applicable Redemption Price for any optional redemption of such Initial Bonds as provided in Section 2.04(a), plus accrued interest to the purchase date.  Purchases of tendered Initial Bonds may be made without regard to any provision of the Indenture relating to the selection of Initial Bonds in a partial optional redemption.  Initial Bonds purchased pursuant to any mandatory tender(s) are not required to be cancelled (subject to Section 10.5 of the Loan Agreement), and if not so cancelled, shall, prior to any resale by or on behalf of the Company, not be deemed Outstanding in connection with any subsequent partial optional redemption solely for purposes of those provisions of the Indenture relating to the selection of Initial Bonds in a partial redemption.
 
Purchases in lieu of an optional redemption shall be permitted, with the consent of the Issuer, upon the delivery to the Issuer and the Trustee of (i) an opinion of Nationally Recognized Bond Counsel addressed to the Issuer and the Trustee substantially to the effect that (A) such purchases in lieu of optional redemption comply with the provisions of the Indenture and (B) neither such purchases in lieu of an optional redemption nor any transaction directly related thereto will adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Initial Bonds for purposes of federal income taxation, and (ii) such other opinions, certificates or documentation as the Issuer may require.
 
(h)           Redemption of Initial Bonds permitted or required by this Article II shall be made as follows, and the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption required by Section 6.03 in respect of each such redemption:
 
(1)           Redemption shall be made pursuant to the general optional redemption provisions of Section 2.04(a) or (b) at such times as are permitted under such Section and, in the case of Section 2.04(a), in such principal amounts, as the Company shall request in a written notice to the Trustee in accordance with Section 4.3(c) of the Loan Agreement.
 
(2)           Redemption shall be made pursuant to the mandatory Sinking Fund Installment redemption provisions of Section 2.04(c) as and when required by this Section without the necessity of any request by, or notification from the Issuer or from the Company, but subject to the provisions of Section 5.06(d) and (f).
 
(3)           Redemption shall be made pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of Section 2.04(d) at the earliest possible date following the deposit of the excess proceeds or other amounts in the Redemption Account of the Bond Fund, without the necessity of any instructions or further act of the Issuer or the Company.
 
(4)           Redemption shall be made pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of Section 2.04(e) on the date specified therein in the event redemption is required under such circumstances, without the necessity of any instructions or further act of the Company.
 
 
35

 
(5)           Redemption shall be made pursuant to the mandatory taxability redemption provisions of Section 2.04(f) at the earliest possible date, but no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the Determination of Taxability, without the necessity of any instructions or further act of the Issuer or the Company.
 
Section 2.05.      Delivery of Initial Bonds.  The Initial Bonds shall be executed in the form and manner set forth in this Indenture and shall be deposited with the Trustee and thereupon shall be authenticated by the Trustee.  Upon payment to the Trustee of the proceeds of sale of the Initial Bonds including the interest, if any, accrued on the Initial Bonds to the Closing Date, the Initial Bonds shall be delivered by the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer to or upon the order of the purchaser(s) thereof, but only upon receipt by the Trustee of:
 
(a)           a copy, duly certified by the Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Executive Director, Deputy Executive Director, General Counsel or Vice President for Legal Affairs of the Issuer, of the Bond Resolution;
 
(b)           an original executed counterpart of all Security Documents;
 
(c)           a written opinion by Nationally Recognized Bond Counsel to the effect that the issuance of the Initial Bonds and the execution thereof have been duly authorized and that all conditions precedent to the delivery thereof have been fulfilled; and
 
(d)           the written order to the Trustee executed by an Authorized Representative of the Issuer to authenticate and deliver the Initial Bonds to the purchaser(s) therein identified upon payment to the Trustee for the account of the Issuer of the purchase price therein specified, plus accrued interest, if any.
 
Section 2.06.      Execution of Bonds.  The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Executive Director, Deputy Executive Director, General Counsel or Vice President for Legal Affairs of the Issuer, and the seal of the Issuer shall be affixed thereto or imprinted thereon and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Executive Director, Deputy Executive Director, General Counsel or Vice President for Legal Affairs of the Issuer.  Any facsimile signatures shall have the same force and effect as if the appropriate officers had personally signed each of said Bonds.  In case one or any of the officers who shall have signed or attested the Bonds or whose reproduced facsimile signature appears thereon shall cease to be such officer or officers before the Bonds so signed and attested shall have been actually issued and delivered, the Bonds may be issued and delivered as though the person who signed or attested or whose reproduced facsimile signature appears on the Bonds had not ceased to be such officer.  Neither the members, directors, officers or agents of the Issuer nor any person executing the Bonds shall be liable personally or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.
 
Section 2.07.      Authentication.  Only such Bonds as shall have endorsed thereon a certificate of authentication, in substantially the form set forth in the Form of Initial Bond in Exhibit C, duly executed by the Trustee, shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this Indenture.  No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit under this Indenture unless and until such certificate of authentication on such Bond shall have been duly executed by the Trustee, and such certificate of the Trustee upon any such Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.  The Trustee shall note, with respect to each Bond to be authenticated under this Indenture in the space provided in the certificate of authentication for such Bond, the date of the authentication and delivery of such Bond.  The Trustee’s certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been duly executed if signed by an authorized officer or signatory of the Trustee, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer or signatory sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds.
 
 
36

(b)           Each such Series of Additional Bonds shall be deposited with the Trustee and thereupon shall be authenticated by the Trustee.  Upon payment to the Trustee of the proceeds of sale of such Series of Additional Bonds, they shall be made available by the Trustee for pick-up by the order of the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but only upon receipt by the Trustee of:

(3)           a written opinion by Nationally Recognized Bond Counsel, to the effect that the issuance of the Series of Additional Bonds and the execution thereof have been duly authorized and that all conditions precedent to the delivery thereof have been fulfilled and that the issuance of the Series of Additional Bonds will not cause the interest on any Series of Bonds Outstanding to become includable in gross income for Federal income tax purposes;
 
(4)           except in the case of a Series of Refunding Bonds (defined below) refunding all Outstanding Bonds, a certificate of an Authorized Representative of each Guarantor to the effect that each Security Document to which it is a party continues in full force and effect and that there is no Event of Default nor any event which upon notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default;
 
(5)           written evidence from each Rating Agency by which any Series of Outstanding Bonds are then rated, if any, to the effect that it has reviewed the documentation pertaining to the issuance of the Series of Additional Bonds, and that the issuance of such Series of Additional Bonds will not result in a withdrawal, a suspension or a reduction of the long and short-term ratings, if applicable, then assigned to any Series of Outstanding Bonds by such Rating Agency;
 
(6)           an original, executed counterpart of the amendment to each Security Document; and
 
(7)           a written order to the Trustee executed by an Authorized Representative of the Issuer to authenticate and make available for pick-up the Series of Additional Bonds to the purchaser or purchasers therein identified upon payment to the Trustee of the purchase price therein specified, plus accrued interest, if any.
 
(c)           (a) Upon the request of the Company, one or more Series of Additional Bonds may be authenticated and made available for pick-up upon original issuance to refund (“Refunding Bonds”) all Outstanding Bonds or any Series of Outstanding Bonds or any part of one or more Series of Outstanding Bonds.  Bonds of a Series of Refunding Bonds shall be issued in a principal amount sufficient, together with other moneys available therefor, to accomplish such refunding and to make such deposits required by the provisions of this Indenture and of the resolution authorizing said Series of Refunding Bonds.  In the case of the refunding under this Section 2.08 of less than all Bonds Outstanding of any Series or of any maturity within such Series, the Trustee shall proceed to select such Bonds in accordance with Section 6.02.
 
 
38

 
(2)           A Series of Refunding Bonds may be authenticated and made available for pick-up only upon receipt by the Trustee (in addition to the receipt by it of the documents required by Section 2.08(b), as may be applicable) of:
 
(A)           Irrevocable instructions from the Issuer to the Trustee, satisfactory to it, to give due notice of redemption pursuant to Section 6.03 to the Holders of all the Outstanding Bonds to be refunded prior to maturity on the redemption date specified in such instructions; and
 
(B)           Either:

(3)           The Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Issuer at the time of delivery of the Series of Refunding Bonds a certificate of an independent certified public accountant stating that the Trustee and/or the Paying Agent (and/or any escrow agent as shall be appointed in connection therewith) hold in trust the moneys or such Defeasance Obligations and moneys required to effect such payment at maturity or earlier redemption.
 
(d)           Each Series of Additional Bonds issued pursuant to this Section shall be equally and ratably secured under this Indenture with the Initial Bonds and all other Series of Additional Bonds, if any, issued pursuant to this Section, without preference, priority or distinction of any Bond over any other Bonds except as expressly provided in or permitted by this Indenture.
 
(e)           No Series of Additional Bonds shall be issued unless the Ground Lease, the Loan Agreement, the Promissory Note, the Mortgage, the Pledge and Security Agreement and the Bond Guaranty Agreement are in effect and at the time of issuance there is no Event of Default nor any event which upon notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default.
 
 
39

 
Section 2.09.      CUSIP Numbers.  The Issuer in issuing the Bonds may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use such CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to registered owners; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Bonds or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Bonds, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers of which it has actual knowledge.
 
Section 2.10.      Book Entry Bonds.  vi) Except as provided in Section 2.10(c), the Initial Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC.  Payment of interest for any Initial Bond registered in the name of Cede & Co. shall be made by wire transfer of New York Clearing House or equivalent same day funds to the account of Cede & Co. on the Interest Payment Date for the Initial Bonds at the address indicated for Cede & Co. in the registration books of the Issuer kept by the Trustee.  It is anticipated that during the term of the Initial Bonds, the Securities Depository will make book entry transfers among its Participants and receive and transmit payment of principal of, Sinking Fund Installments for, Purchase Price, redemption premium, if any, and interest on, the Initial Bonds to the Participants until and unless the Trustee authenticates and delivers replacement bonds to the Beneficial Owners as described in Section 2.10(c).
 
(b)           The Initial Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a separate single authenticated fully registered certificate for the single maturity thereof.  Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such Initial Bonds shall be registered in the registration books of the Issuer kept by the Trustee in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.  The Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Bond Registrar, the Remarketing Agent, the Paying Agent and the Issuer shall treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive Holder of the Initial Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal, Sinking Fund Installments, Purchase Price, Redemption Price of or interest on the Initial Bonds, selecting the Initial Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to Bondholders under this Indenture, registering the transfer of Initial Bonds, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Holders of the Initial Bonds and for all other purposes whatsoever; and neither the Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Bond Registrar, the Remarketing Agent, the Paying Agent, the Company, nor the Issuer shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.  All notices with respect to the Initial Bonds shall be made and given to DTC as provided in the Representations Letter.  Neither the Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Bond Registrar, the Remarketing Agent, the Paying Agent nor the Issuer shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any Person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Initial Bonds under or through DTC or any Participant, or any other Person that is not shown on the registration books of the Trustee as being a Holder, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any Participant; the payment of DTC or any Participant of any amount in respect of the principal, Sinking Fund Installments, Purchase Price, Redemption Price of or interest on the Initial Bonds; any notice that is permitted or required to be given to Bondholders under this Indenture or any other Security Documents; the selection by DTC or any Participant of any Person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Initial Bonds; or any consent given or other action taken by DTC as Bondholder.  The Trustee shall pay all principal of, Sinking Fund Installments, Purchase Price, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Initial Bonds only to or “upon the order of” (as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State) DTC, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the principal of, Sinking Fund Installments, Purchase Price, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Initial Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(c), no Person other than DTC shall receive an authenticated Initial Bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal of, Sinking Fund Installments, Purchase Price, redemption premium, if any, and interest pursuant to this Indenture.  Upon delivery by DTC to the Trustee of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions of this Indenture with respect to transfers of Bonds, the word “Cede & Co.” in this Indenture shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
 
 
40

 
(c)           In the event the Issuer determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain Initial Bond certificates, the Issuer may notify DTC and the Trustee, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants, of the availability through DTC of Initial Bond certificates.  In such event, the Trustee shall issue, transfer and exchange Initial Bond certificates as requested by DTC in appropriate amounts within the guidelines set forth in this Indenture.  DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Initial Bonds at any time by giving written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law.  Under such circumstances (if there is no successor securities depository), the Issuer and the Trustee shall be obligated to deliver Initial Bond certificates as described in this Indenture.  In the event Initial Bond certificates are issued, the provisions of this Indenture shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and exchange of such certificates and the method of payment of principal of, Sinking Fund Installments, Purchase Price, redemption premium, if any, and interest on such certificates.  Whenever DTC requests the Issuer and the Trustee to do so, the Issuer will direct the Trustee (at the sole cost and expense of the Company) to cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice (i) to make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the Initial Bonds to any DTC Participant having Initial Bonds credited to its DTC account or (ii) to arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the Initial Bonds.
 
(d)           In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Bondholders pursuant to this Indenture or any other Security Document by the Issuer or the Trustee with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by Bondholders, the Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for such consent or other action and give DTC notice of such record date not less than fifteen (15) calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible.  Such notice to DTC shall be given only when DTC is the sole Bondholder.
 
(e)           NEITHER THE ISSUER, THE COMPANY NOR THE TRUSTEE WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATIONS TO THE PARTICIPANTS OR THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS WITH RESPECT TO (1) THE ACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY PARTICIPANT; (2) THE PAYMENT BY DTC OR ANY PARTICIPANT OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER IN RESPECT OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT, SINKING FUND INSTALLMENTS, PURCHASE PRICE, REDEMPTION PRICE OF OR INTEREST ON THE INITIAL BONDS; (3) THE DELIVERY BY DTC OR ANY PARTICIPANT OF ANY NOTICE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER THAT IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE INDENTURE TO BE GIVEN TO BONDHOLDERS; OR (4) THE SELECTION OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF ANY PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF THE INITIAL BONDS.
 
 
41

 
(f)           SO LONG AS CEDE & CO. IS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE INITIAL BONDS, AS NOMINEE OF DTC, REFERENCES HEREIN TO THE INITIAL BONDHOLDERS OR REGISTERED HOLDERS OF THE INITIAL BONDS SHALL MEAN CEDE & CO. AND SHALL NOT MEAN THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE INITIAL BONDS.
 
(g)           For so long as the Holder of all of the Initial Bonds shall be DTC, and all Initial Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for DTC, (i) only DTC may tender Initial Bonds for purchase or upon redemption or retirement in whole and (ii) unless all Initial Bonds are being redeemed or retired in whole, Initial Bonds shall not be required to be presented to the Trustee for payment of principal, Sinking Fund Installments, Purchase Price or Redemption Price except upon final maturity or redemption in whole.
 
(h)           In the event the Securities Depository resigns, is unable to properly discharge its responsibilities, or is no longer qualified to act as a securities depository and registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Issuer may appoint a successor Securities Depository provided the Trustee receives written evidence satisfactory to the Trustee with respect to the ability of the successor Securities Depository to discharge its responsibilities.  Any such successor Securities Depository shall be a securities depository that is a registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation that operates a securities depository upon reasonable and customary terms.  The Trustee upon its receipt of an Initial Bond or Bonds for cancellation shall cause the delivery of an Initial Bond or Bonds to the successor Securities Depository in appropriate Authorized Denominations and form as provided herein.

Section 3.07.      Bonds Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost.  In case any Bond shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall execute, and thereupon the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like Series, maturity, unpaid principal amount and interest rate as the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Bond, upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Trustee evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that such Bond has been destroyed, stolen or lost, and upon furnishing the Issuer and the Trustee with indemnity (an undertaking from an insurance company acceptable to the Trustee and the Issuer) satisfactory to the Trustee and to the Issuer and complying with such other reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer and the Trustee may incur.  All Bonds so surrendered to the Trustee shall be cancelled by it.  Every new Bond issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Bond is destroyed, lost or stolen, shall, with respect to such Bond, constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be found and shall be enforceable at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued hereunder.  In the event any such destroyed, stolen or lost Bond shall have matured, or be about to mature, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a new Bond, cause the Trustee to pay the same without surrender thereof upon compliance with the condition in the first sentence of this Section out of moneys held by the Trustee and available for such purpose.  All Bonds shall be held and owned upon the express condition (to the extent lawful) that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of any mutilated, destroyed or lost or stolen Bond and shall preclude any and all other rights and remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.
 
Section 3.08.      Cancellation and Destruction of Bonds.  All Bonds paid or redeemed, either at or before maturity, shall be delivered to the Trustee when such payment or redemption is made, and such Bonds together with all Bonds purchased by the Trustee, shall thereupon be promptly cancelled.  Bonds so cancelled shall be destroyed by the Trustee.

Section 3.10.      Bond Registrar.  The Trustee shall also be Bond Registrar for the Bonds, and shall maintain a register showing the names of all registered Holders of Bonds, Bond numbers and amounts, and other information appropriate to the discharge of its duties hereunder.  The Trustee shall make available to the Company for its inspection during normal business hours the registration books for the Bonds, as may be requested by the Company in connection with any purchase or tender offer by it with respect to the Bonds.

(g)           The Company shall on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day next preceding each Sinking Fund Installment payment date furnish the Trustee with the certificate of an Authorized Representative of the Company indicating whether or not and to what extent the provisions of this Section are to be availed of with respect to such Sinking Fund Installment payment, stating, in the case of the credit provided for, that such credit has not theretofore been applied against any Sinking Fund Installment and confirming that immediately available cash funds for the balance of the next succeeding prescribed Sinking Fund Installment payment will be paid on or prior to the next succeeding Sinking Fund Installment payment date.

(e)           In computing the amount in any Fund or Account, obligations purchased as an investment of moneys therein shall be valued at fair market value as determined by the Trustee one month prior to each Interest Payment Date.
 
The fair market value of Qualified Investments shall be determined as follows:
 
(i)           as to investments the bid and asked prices of which are published on a regular basis in The Wall Street Journal (or, if not there, then in The New York Times), the average bid and asked prices for such investments so published on or most recently prior to such time of determination;

(iii)           as to certificates of deposit and bankers acceptances and other investments, the face amount thereof, plus accrued interest.
 
If more than one provision of this definition of “fair market value” shall apply at any time to any particular investment, the fair market value thereof at such time shall be determined in accordance with the provision establishing the lowest value for such investment.

Section 5.12.      Application of Moneys in Certain Funds for Retirement of Bonds.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, if on any Interest Payment Date or redemption date the amounts held in the Funds established under this Indenture (other than the Purchase Fund, the Earnings Fund and the Rebate Fund) are sufficient to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the principal or Redemption Price, as the case may be, of all Outstanding Bonds and the interest accruing on such Bonds to the next date on which such Bonds are redeemable or payable, as the case may be, whichever is earlier, the Trustee shall so notify the Issuer and the Company.  Upon receipt of written instructions from an Authorized Representative of the Company directing such redemption, the Trustee shall proceed to redeem all such Outstanding Bonds in the manner provided for redemption of such Bonds by this Indenture.
 
Section 5.13.      Repayment to the Company from the Funds.  After payment in full of the Bonds (in accordance with Article X) and the payment of all fees, charges and expenses of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Remarketing Agent, the Bond Registrar and the Paying Agents and all other amounts required to be paid hereunder and under each of the Security Documents, and the payment of any amounts which the Trustee is directed to rebate to the Federal government pursuant to this Indenture and the Tax Regulatory Agreement, all amounts remaining in any Fund shall be paid to the Company upon the expiration or sooner termination of the term of the Loan Agreement as provided in Section 4.3(g) of the Loan Agreement.
 
Section 5.14.      Non-presentment of Bonds.  In the event any Bond shall not be presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due, either at maturity, or at the date fixed for redemption thereof, or otherwise, and funds sufficient to pay any such Bond shall have been made available to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holder or Holders thereof, together with interest to the date on which principal is due, all liability of the Issuer to the Holder thereof for the payment of such Bond shall forthwith cease, terminate and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Trustee to pay such funds to the Person entitled thereto or if the Person is not known to the Trustee, to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the Holder of such Bond, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds, for any claim of whatever nature on his part under this Indenture or on, or with respect to, such Bond.  Such amounts so held shall, pending payment to the Holder of such Bond, (y) be subject to any rebate requirement as set forth in the Tax Regulatory Agreement or this Indenture, and (z) shall be uninvested, or, if invested, invested or re-invested only in Government Obligations maturing within thirty (30) days.  Funds remaining with the Trustee as above and unclaimed for the earlier of two (2) years or one month less than the applicable statutory escheat period shall be paid to the Company.  After the payment of such unclaimed moneys to the Company, the Holder of such Bond shall thereafter look only to the Company for the payment thereof, and all obligations of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease.

ARTICLE VI
 
REDEMPTION OF BONDS
 
Section 6.01.      Privilege of Redemption and Redemption Price.  Bonds or portions thereof subject to redemption prior to maturity shall be redeemable, upon mailed notice as provided in this Article, at the times, at the Redemption Prices and upon such terms in addition to and consistent with the terms contained in this Article as shall be specified in this Indenture and in said Bonds.
 
Section 6.02.      Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed.  In the event of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Bonds of the same Series and maturity, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee in such manner as the Trustee in its discretion may deem fair, except that (i) Bonds of a Series to be redeemed from Sinking Fund Installments shall be redeemed by lot, and (ii) to the extent practicable, the Trustee shall select Bonds of a Series for redemption such that no Bond of such Series shall be of a denomination of less than the Authorized Denomination for such Series of Bonds.  In the event of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Bonds of the same Series stated to mature on different dates, the principal amount of such Series of Bonds to be redeemed shall be applied in inverse order of maturity of the Outstanding Series of Bonds to be redeemed and by lot within a maturity.  The portion of Bonds of any Series to be redeemed in part shall be in the principal amount of the minimum Authorized Denomination thereof or some integral multiple thereof and, in selecting Bonds of a particular Series for redemption, the Trustee shall treat each such Bond as representing that number of Bonds of such Series which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such registered Bond by the minimum Authorized Denomination thereof (referred to below as a “unit”) then issuable rounded down to the integral multiple of such minimum Authorized Denomination.  If it is determined that one or more, but not all, of the units of principal amount represented by any such Bond is to be called for redemption, then, upon notice of intention to redeem such unit or units, the Holder of such Bond shall forthwith surrender such Bond to the Trustee for (a) payment to such Holder of the Redemption Price of the unit or units of principal amount called for redemption and (b) delivery to such Holder of a new Bond or Bonds of such Series in the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of such Bond.  New Bonds of the same Series and maturity representing the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of such Bond shall be issued to the registered Holder thereof, without charge therefor.  If the Holder of any such Bond of a denomination greater than a unit shall fail to present such Bond to the Trustee for payment and exchange as aforesaid, such Bond shall, nevertheless, become due and payable on the date fixed for redemption to the extent of the unit or units of principal amount called for redemption (and to that extent only).
 
 
61

 
Section 6.03.      Notice of Redemption.  When redemption of any Bonds is requested or required pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall give notice of such redemption in the name of the Issuer, specifying the name of the Series, CUSIP number, Bond numbers, the date of original issue of such Series, the date of mailing of the notice of redemption, maturities, interest rates and principal amounts of the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, the redemption date, the Redemption Price, and the place or places where amounts due upon such redemption will be payable (including the name, address and telephone number of a contact person at the Trustee) and specifying the principal amounts of the Bonds or portions thereof to be payable and, if less than all of the Bonds of any maturity are to be redeemed, the numbers of such Bonds or portions thereof to be so redeemed.  Such notice shall further state that on such date there shall become due and payable upon each Bond or portion thereof to be redeemed the Redemption Price thereof together with interest accrued to the redemption date, and that from and after such date interest thereon shall cease to accrue and be payable.  Such notice may set forth any additional information relating to such redemption.  The Trustee, in the name and on behalf of the Issuer, (i) shall mail a copy of such notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, not more than sixty (60) nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the registered owners of any Bonds which are to be redeemed, at their last addresses, if any, appearing upon the registration books, but any defect in such notice shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such Series of Bonds with respect to which proper mailing was effected; and (ii) cause notice of such redemption to be sent to at least two (2) of the national information services that disseminate redemption notices.  Any notice mailed as provided in this Section shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered owner receives the notice.  In the event of a postal strike, the Trustee shall give notice by other appropriate means selected by the Trustee in its discretion.  If any Bond shall not be presented for payment of the Redemption Price within sixty (60) days of the redemption date, the Trustee shall mail a second notice of redemption to such Holder by first class mail, postage prepaid.  Any amounts held by the Trustee due to non-presentment of Bonds for payments on or after any redemption date shall be retained by the Trustee for a period of at least one year after the final maturity date of such Bonds.  Further, if any Holders of Bonds shall constitute registered depositories, the notice of redemption described in the first sentence of this Section 6.03 shall be mailed to such Holders at least two (2) days prior to the mailing of such notice to all Holders.
 
If notice of redemption shall have been given as aforesaid, the Bonds of such Series called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date, provided, however, that with respect to any optional redemption of the Bonds of a Series, such notice shall state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption of moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds of such Series to be redeemed, and that if such moneys shall not have been so received said notice shall be of no force and effect and the Issuer shall not be required to redeem the Bonds of such Series.  In the event that such notice of optional redemption contains such a condition and such moneys are not so received, the redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received.  If a notice of optional redemption shall be unconditional, or if the conditions of a conditional notice of optional redemption shall have been satisfied, then upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds of such Series so called for redemption at the place or places of payment, such Series of Bonds shall be redeemed.
 
Under no circumstances shall the Trustee be required to expend any of its own funds for any purpose for which funds are to be disbursed under this Indenture.
 
 
62

 
So long as the Securities Depository is effecting book entry transfers of the Bonds, the Trustee shall provide the notices specified above only to the Securities Depository.  It is expected that the Securities Depository shall, in turn, notify its Participants and that the Participants, in turn, will notify or cause to be notified the Beneficial Owners.  Any failure on the part of the Securities Depository or a Participant, or failure on the part of a nominee of a Beneficial Owner of a Bond (having been mailed notice from the Trustee, the Securities Depository, a Participant or otherwise) to notify the Beneficial Owner of the Bond so affected, shall not affect the validity of the redemption of such Bond.
 
Section 6.04.      Payment of Redeemed Bonds.  ii) Notice having been given in the manner provided in Section 6.03, the Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption dates so designated at the Redemption Price, plus interest accrued and unpaid to the redemption date.  If, on the redemption date, moneys for the redemption of all the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, together with interest to the redemption date, shall be held by the Paying Agents so as to be available therefor on said date and if notice of redemption shall have been given as aforesaid, then, from and after the redemption date, (i) interest on the Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and become payable, (ii) the Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under this Indenture, and (iii) the Holders of the Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption shall have no rights in respect thereof, except to receive payment of the Redemption Price together with interest accrued to the redemption date.  If said moneys shall not be so available on the redemption date, such Bonds or portions thereof shall continue to bear interest until paid at the same rate as they would have borne had they not been called for redemption.
 
(b)           Payment of the Redemption Price plus interest accrued to the redemption date shall be made to or upon the order of the registered owner only upon presentation of such Bonds for cancellation and exchange as provided in Section 6.05; provided, however, that any Holder of at least $1,000,000 in original aggregate principal amount of the Initial Bonds may, by written request to the Trustee no later than five (5) days prior to the date of redemption, direct that payments of Redemption Price and accrued interest to the date of redemption be made by wire transfer as soon as practicable after tender of the Bonds in Federal funds at such wire transfer address as the owner shall specify to the Trustee in such written request.
 
Section 6.05.      Cancellation of Redeemed Bonds.  iii) All Bonds redeemed in full under the provisions of this Article, shall forthwith be cancelled and returned to the Issuer and no Bonds shall be executed, authenticated or issued hereunder in exchange or substitution therefor, or for or in respect of any paid portion of a Bond.
 
(b)           If there shall be drawn for redemption less than all of a Bond, as described in Section 6.02, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon the surrender of such Bond, without charge to the owner thereof, for the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of the Bond so surrendered, a Bond or Bonds of like Series and maturity in any of the authorized denominations.
 
Section 6.06.      No Partial Redemption After Default.  Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default hereunder, there shall be no redemption of less than all of the Bonds Outstanding.

ARTICLE VII
 
PARTICULAR COVENANTS
 
Section 7.01.      Payment of Principal and Interest.  The Issuer covenants that it will from the sources herein contemplated promptly pay or cause to be paid the principal of, Sinking Fund Installments for, Purchase Price, and interest on the Bonds, and the Redemption Price, if any, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of redemption, at the place, on the dates and in the manner provided in this Indenture and in the Bonds according to the true intent and meaning thereof.
 
Section 7.02.      Performance of Covenants; Authority.  The Issuer covenants that it will faithfully perform at all times any and all covenants, undertakings, stipulations and provisions contained in this Indenture, in any and every Bond executed, authenticated and delivered hereunder and in all proceedings pertaining thereto.  The Issuer covenants that it is duly authorized under the Constitution and laws of the State, including particularly its Organizational Documents, to issue the Bonds authorized hereby and to execute this Indenture, to make the Loan to the Company pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the Promissory Note, to assign the Loan Agreement and the Promissory Note, and to pledge the loan payments, revenues and receipts hereby pledged in the manner and to the extent herein set forth; that all action on its part for the issuance of the Bonds and the execution and delivery of this Indenture has been duly and effectively taken; and that the Bonds in the hands of the Holders thereof are and will be the valid and enforceable special limited revenue obligations of the Issuer according to the import thereof.
 
Section 7.03.      Books and Records; Certificate as to Defaults.  The Issuer and the Trustee each covenant and agree that, so long as any of the Bonds shall remain Outstanding, proper books of record and account will be kept showing complete and correct entries of all transactions relating to the Project and the Facility, and that the Holders of any of the Bonds shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect all records, accounts and data relating thereto.  In this regard, so long as the Loan Agreement is in full force and effect, records furnished by the Issuer and the Company to, or kept by, the Trustee in connection with its duties as such shall be deemed to be in compliance with the Issuer’s obligations under this Section 7.03.  Within thirty (30) days after receiving the certificate from the Company as provided in Section 7.24(b) of the Loan Agreement, the Trustee shall render to the Issuer a statement that moneys received by the Trustee pursuant to the Loan Agreement were applied by it to the payment of the principal or Redemption Price, if any, of, Purchase Price, Sinking Fund Installments for, and interest on the Bonds, at the place, on the dates and in the manner provided in this Indenture and that the Trustee has no knowledge of any defaults under this Indenture or the Loan Agreement or any other Security Document or specifying the particulars of such defaults which may exist.
 
Upon reasonable written request, the Trustee shall make available to the Company for its inspection during normal business hours, its records with respect to the Project and the Facility.
 
 
64

 
The Trustee agrees that, upon the written request of the Issuer or the Company, it will, not more than twice in each calendar year, provide a statement to the requesting party setting forth the principal amount of Bonds Outstanding as of the date of such statement.
 
Section 7.04.      Loan Agreement.  Reference is hereby made to the Loan Agreement for a detailed statement of the terms and conditions thereof and for a statement of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder.  All covenants and obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement shall be enforceable either by the Issuer or by the Trustee, to whom, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, is hereby granted the right, to the extent provided therefor in this Section 7.04 and subject to the provisions of Section 9.02, to enforce all rights of the Issuer and all obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement, whether or not the Issuer is enforcing such rights and obligations.  The Trustee shall take such action in respect of any matter as is provided to be taken by it in the Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 3.5, 5.3 and 7.9 thereof) upon compliance or noncompliance by the Company and the Issuer with the provisions of the Loan Agreement relating to the same.
 
Section 7.05.      Creation of Liens; Indebtedness.  It is the intention of the Issuer and the Trustee that the Mortgage is and will continue to be a mortgage lien upon the Company’s leasehold interest under the Ground Lease in the Facility (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances).  The Issuer shall not create or suffer to be created, or incur or issue any evidences of indebtedness secured by, any lien or charge upon or pledge of the Trust Estate, except the lien, charge and pledge created by this Indenture and the other Security Documents.
 
Section 7.06.      Ownership; Instruments of Further Assurance.  The Trustee on behalf of the Company, subject to Section 7.04 and upon the written direction of any Bondholder, shall defend the interest of the Company in the Facility and every part thereof for the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds, to the extent permitted by law, against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.  The Issuer covenants that it will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such Supplemental Indentures and such further acts, instruments and transfers as the Trustee may reasonably require for the better assuring, transferring, conveying, pledging, assigning and confirming unto the Trustee all and singular the property described herein and in the remainder of the Trust Estate, subject to the liens, pledge and security interests of this Indenture and of the other Security Documents, and the loan payments, revenues and receipts pledged hereby to the payment of the principal or Redemption Price, if any, of, Sinking Fund Installments for, Purchase Price, and interest on the Bonds.  Any and all property hereafter acquired which is of the kind or nature herein provided to be and become subject to the lien, pledge and security interest hereof (other than the Company’s Property) and of the other Security Documents shall ipso facto, and without any further conveyance, assignment or act on the part of the Issuer or the Trustee, become and be subject to the lien, pledge and security interest of this Indenture and of the other Security Documents as fully and completely as though specifically described herein and therein, but nothing in this sentence contained shall be deemed to modify or change the obligations of the Issuer heretofore made by this Section 7.06.
 
 
65

 
Section 7.07.     Security Agreement; Recording and Filing.  d) This Indenture constitutes a “security agreement” within the meaning of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions.  The Issuer shall cause this Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures to be recorded (at the sole cost and expense of the Company) as a lien encumbering an interest in real property through delivery hereof and thereof to a title insurance company engaged by the Company for due recordation, in the appropriate offices of the Register of The City of New York, or in such other offices as may be at the time provided by law as the proper place for the recordation thereof.  In addition, the security interest of the Trustee, as created by this Indenture, in the rights and other intangible interests described herein, shall be perfected by the filing of a financing statement at the direction of the Issuer in the office of the Secretary of State of the State in the City of Albany, New York, which financing statement shall be in accordance with the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions. Subsequent to the foregoing recordation and filings, this Indenture shall be re-recorded and re-indexed, and financing and continuation statements shall be filed and re-filed, by the Trustee whenever in the Opinion of Counsel to the Company (which opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to and addressed to the Trustee) such action is necessary to preserve the lien and security interest hereof.  Any such re-recordings, re-indexings, filings or re-filings shall be prepared by the Company and delivered to the Trustee (if electronic filing is not elected by the Issuer) on a timely basis accompanied by any fees or requisite charges and the Opinion of Counsel referred to above.  The Trustee will thereupon effect any such filings and re-filings of financing and continuation statements in said office of the Secretary of State, and promptly notify the Company of any such filings.
 
(b)           The Issuer and the Trustee acknowledge that, as of the Closing Date,
 
(i)           Section 9-515 of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions provides that an initial financing statement filed in connection with a “public-financed transaction” is effective for a period of thirty (30) years after the date of filing if such initial financing statement indicates that it is filed in connection with a public financed transaction,
 
(ii)           Section 9-102(67) of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions defines a public-finance transaction as a secured transaction in connection with which, in substance, (x) bonds are issued, (y) all or a portion of the bonds have an initial stated maturity of at least twenty (20) years, and (z) the debtor, obligor, secured party or assignee with respect to the collateral or secured obligation is a governmental unit of a state, and
 
(iii)           subject to any future change in law, the initial financing statement as shall be filed with respect to the security interest described above shall therefore have an effective period of thirty (30) years after the date of filing, for the purpose of determining the date by which continuation statements shall be filed.
 
(c)           The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, because the foregoing financing statements evidence collateral for the Initial Bonds, and because the Initial Bonds are municipal securities with a term that is at least twenty (20) years in duration, there is no need under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York to re-file such financing statements in order to preserve the liens and security interests that they create for the period commencing with the Closing Date and terminating on the thirtieth anniversary of the Closing Date.
 
 
66

 
Subsequent to the foregoing recordation and filings, if in the Opinion of Counsel to the Company (described hereinbelow), to preserve (after the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date) the lien and security interest of this Indenture, it is necessary to re-record and/or re-index documents, re-file financing statements and/or file continuation statements and/or take any other actions (individually or collectively, the “Continuation Action(s)”), then, the Company in a timely manner shall: (A) as applicable, (i) prepare and deliver to the Trustee all necessary instruments and filing papers, together with remittances equal to the cost of required filing fees and other charges, so that the Trustee may perform the Continuation Actions, or (ii) electronically perform the Continuation Actions and deliver to the Trustee written certification (upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely) that such performance has occurred, specifying the Continuation Actions performed, or (iii) perform some of the Continuation Actions in the manner described in clause “(i)” and the others in the manner described in clause “(ii)”; and (B) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee the Opinion of Counsel to the Company as described below.  The Trustee may conclusively rely upon (y) when applicable, the certification referred to in clause “(A)(ii),” and (z) in all instances, the Opinion of Counsel to the Company.  In the event the Company chooses to have the Trustee perform all or some of the Continuation Actions, as provided in clause “(A)(i)” hereinabove, the Trustee shall reasonably promptly perform such Continuation Actions at the Company’s sole expense.  The Company shall perform the obligations described hereinabove in clauses “(A)” and “(B)” no later than ten (10) days prior to (i)(y) the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) each fifth (5th) anniversary thereafter, and/or (ii) the date (not covered by clause “(i)”) on which a Continuation Action is to be taken to preserve the lien and security interest of this Indenture.
 
The Opinion of Counsel to the Company shall be addressed to the Company, the Issuer and the Trustee.  Counsel shall deliver successive Opinions of Counsel in respect of (i)(y) the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) every five-year period thereafter through the term of the Initial Bonds, and/or (ii) the date of any required Continuation Action not covered by clause “(i),” in each case not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which a Continuation Action is required to be taken.  In the Opinion of Counsel to the Company, counsel shall opine as to: (i) what Continuation Actions are necessary; and (ii) the deadline dates for the required Continuation Actions; and (iii) the jurisdictions in which the Continuation Actions must be effected.  Counsel in such opinion shall additionally opine that, upon performance of the Continuation Actions by, as the case may be, (i) the Trustee with instruments and papers prepared by the Company, or (ii) the Company through electronic filing, or (iii) the Trustee as to some Continuation Actions, and the Company as to the others through electronic filings, all appropriate steps shall have been taken on the part of the Company, the SubCompany, the Issuer and the Trustee then requisite to the maintenance of the perfection of the security interest of the Trustee in and to all property and interests which by the terms of this Indenture are to be subjected to the lien and security interest of this Indenture.
 
(d)           Any filings with respect to Uniform Commercial Code financing statements may be made electronically, and the Issuer shall have the right to designate a company (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) to facilitate the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.
 
(e)           The Trustee acknowledges and agrees (on behalf of itself and the Bondholders) that neither the Issuer, nor any of its directors, members, officers, employees, servants, agents, persons under its control or supervision, or attorneys (including Nationally Recognized Bond Counsel to the Issuer), shall have any responsibility or liability whatsoever related in any way to the filing or re-filing of any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or continuation statements, or the perfection or continuation of perfection of any security interests, or the recording or rerecording of any document, or the failure to effect any act referred to in this Section, or the failure to effect any such act in all appropriate filing or recording offices, or the failure of sufficiency of any such act so effected.
 
 
67

 
(f)           All costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the effecting of the requirements specified in this Section shall be paid by the Company.
 
Section 7.08.                      Issuer Tax Covenant.  The Issuer covenants that it shall not take any action within its control, nor refrain from taking any action reasonably requested by the Company or the Trustee, that would cause the interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income for Federal income tax purposes; provided, however, the breach of this covenant shall not result in any pecuniary liability of the Issuer and the only remedy to which the Issuer shall be subject shall be specific performance.

ARTICLE VIII
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES OF BONDHOLDERS
 
Section 8.01.        Events of Default; Acceleration of Due Date.  i) Each of the following events is hereby defined as and shall constitute an “Event of Default”:
 
(1)           Failure in the payment of the interest on any Bond when the same shall become due and payable;
 
(2)           Failure in the payment of the principal or redemption premium, if any, of, or Sinking Fund Installment for, any Bonds, when the same shall become due and payable, whether at the stated maturity thereof or upon proceedings for redemption thereof or otherwise, or interest accrued thereon to the date of redemption after notice of redemption therefor or otherwise;
 
(3)           Failure to duly and punctually pay the Purchase Price of any Initial Bond tendered or deemed tendered for purchase pursuant to Section 2.03;
 
(4)           Failure of the Issuer to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement in the Bonds or hereunder on its part to be performed (except as set forth in Section 8.01(a)(1), (2) or (3) and (A) continuance of such failure for more than thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure has been given to the Issuer and the Company specifying the nature of same from the Trustee or the Holders of more than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding, or (B) if by reason of the nature of such failure the same can be remedied, but not within the said thirty (30) days, the Issuer or the Company fails to commence and thereafter proceed with reasonable diligence after receipt of said notice to cure such failure or fails to continue with reasonable diligence its efforts to cure such failure or fails to cure such failure within sixty (60) days of delivery of said notice; or
 
(5)           The occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Loan Agreement or any other Security Document.
 
(b)           Upon the happening and continuance of any Event of Default, unless the principal of all the Bonds shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee (by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Company) or the Holders of over twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding (by notice in writing to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee) may declare the principal or Redemption Price, if any, of all the Bonds then Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in any of the Bonds contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
 
(c)           If there shall occur an Event of Default under Section 8.1(d) or (e) of the Loan Agreement, the unpaid principal of all the Bonds (and all principal installments of loan payments under the Loan Agreement) and the interest accrued thereon shall be due and payable immediately without the necessity of any declaration or other action by the Trustee or any other Person.
 
 
69

 
(d)           The right of the Trustee or of the Holders of over twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding to make any such declaration as aforesaid, however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time before such declaration, all overdue installments of principal of and interest on all of the Bonds which shall have matured by their terms and the unpaid Redemption Price of the Bonds or principal portions thereof to be redeemed has been paid by or for the account of the Issuer, and all other Events of Default have been otherwise remedied, and the reasonable and proper charges, expenses and liabilities of the Trustee, shall either be paid by or for the account of the Issuer or provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall be made for such payment and the Company’s interest in the Facility shall not have been sold or relet or otherwise encumbered, and all defaults have been otherwise remedied as provided in this Article VIII, then and in every such case any such default and its consequences shall ipso facto be deemed to be annulled, but no such annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon.
 
(e)           Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Issuer has granted to the Company full authority for the account of the Issuer to perform any covenant or obligation the non-performance of which is alleged in any notice received by the Company to constitute a default hereunder, in the name and stead of the Issuer with full power to do any and all things and acts to the same extent that the Issuer could do and perform any such things and acts with power of substitution.  The Trustee agrees to accept such performance by the Company as performance by the Issuer.
 
Section 8.02.       Enforcement of Remedies.  ii) Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, then and in every case the Trustee may proceed, and upon the written request of the Holders of over twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding shall proceed, to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Bondholders under the Act, the Bonds, the Loan Agreement, this Indenture and under any other Security Document forthwith by such suits, actions or special proceedings in equity or at law, or by proceedings in the office of any board or officer having jurisdiction, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in any other Security Document or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Indenture or in any other Security Document or in the Act or for the enforcement of any legal or equitable rights or remedies as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights or to perform any of its duties under this Indenture or under any other Security Document.  In addition to any rights or remedies available to the Trustee hereunder or elsewhere, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default the Trustee may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable.

Section 8.03.        Application of Revenues and Other Moneys After Default.
 
iii) All moneys received by the Trustee pursuant to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this Article or under any other Security Document shall, after payment of the cost and expenses of the proceedings resulting in the collection of such moneys and of the expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, be deposited in the Bond Fund and all moneys so deposited and available for payment of the Bonds shall be applied, subject to Section 9.04, as follows:
 
(A)           Unless the principal of all of the Bonds shall have become or have been declared due and payable,
 
First -
To the payment to the Persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest then due on the Bonds, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any particular installment, then to the payment ratably, according to the amounts due on such installment, to the Persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or privilege; and
 
Second -
To the payment to the Persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal or Redemption Price, if any, of any of the Bonds or principal installments which shall have become due (other than Bonds or principal installments called for redemption for the payment of which moneys are held pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), in the order of their due dates, with interest on such Bonds, at the rate or rates expressed thereon, from the respective dates upon which they become due and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full Bonds or principal installments due on any particular date, together with such interest, then to the payment ratably, according to the amount of principal due on such date, to the Persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege.
 
 
71

 
(B)           If the principal of all the Bonds shall have become or have been declared due and payable, to the payment to the Bondholders of the principal and interest (at the rate or rates expressed in the Bonds) then due and unpaid upon the Bonds and if applicable to the Redemption Price of the Bonds without preference or priority of principal over interest or of interest over principal, Sinking Fund Installments, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Bond over any other Bond, ratably, according to the amounts due respectively for principal and interest, to the Persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or preference.
 
(C)           If the principal of all the Bonds shall have been declared due and payable, and if such declaration shall thereafter have been rescinded and annulled under the provisions of this Article VIII, then, subject to the provisions of Section 8.03(a)(B)   which shall be applicable in the event that the principal of all the Bonds shall later become due and payable, the moneys shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.03(a)(A).

Section 8.07.       Effect of Discontinuance of Proceedings.  In case any proceedings taken by the Trustee on account of any Event of Default shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case, the Company, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bondholders shall be restored, respectively, to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies, powers and duties of the Trustee shall continue as in effect prior to the commencement of such proceedings.
 
Section 8.08.       Remedies Not Exclusive.  No remedy by the terms of this Indenture conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Bonds is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given under this Indenture or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
 
 
73

 
Section 8.09.       Delay or Omission.  No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of the Bonds to exercise any right or power arising upon any default shall impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Article to the Trustee and the Holders of the Bonds, respectively, may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee or by the Bondholders.

Section 12.02.     Amendments of Related Security Documents Not Requiring Consent of Bondholders.  The Issuer and the Trustee may, without the consent of or notice to the Bondholders, consent (if required) to any amendment, change or modification of any of the Related Security Documents for any of the following purposes:  (i) to cure any ambiguity, inconsistency, formal defect or omission therein; (ii) to grant to or confer upon the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondholders any additional rights, remedies, powers, authority or security which may be lawfully granted or conferred; (iii) to subject thereto additional revenues, properties or collateral; (iv)  to evidence the succession of a successor Trustee or to evidence the appointment of a separate or co-Trustee or the succession of a successor separate or co-Trustee; (v) to make any change required in connection with a permitted amendment to a Related Security Document or a permitted Supplemental Indenture; and (vi) to make any other change that, in the judgment of the Trustee (which, in exercising such judgment, may conclusively rely, and shall be protected in relying, in good faith, upon an Opinion of Counsel or an opinion or report of engineers, accountants or other experts) does not materially adversely affect the Bondholders.  The Trustee shall have no liability to any Bondholder or any other Person for any action taken by it in good faith pursuant to this Section.  Before the Issuer or the Trustee shall enter into or consent to any amendment, change or modification to any of the Related Security Documents, there shall be filed with the Trustee an opinion of Nationally Recognized Bond Counsel to the effect that such amendment, change or modification will not cause the interest on any of the Bonds to cease to be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Code.

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the definition of any capitalized word or term used but not defined herein and for a description of the property pledged, assigned and otherwise available for the payment of the Bonds, the provisions, among others, with respect to the nature and extent of the security, the rights, duties and obligations of the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of the Bonds, and the terms upon which the Bonds are issued and secured.
 
Additional Bonds.  As provided in the Indenture, upon satisfying certain conditions including obtaining certain prescribed Bondholder consents, a Series of Additional Bonds may be issued from time to time in one or more series for the purpose of financing the cost of completing the Project, providing funds in excess of Net Proceeds to repair, relocate, replace, rebuild or restore the Facility in the event of damage, destruction or taking by eminent domain, providing extensions, additions or improvements to the Facility, or refunding outstanding Bonds (to the extent that such Bonds shall be subject to earlier redemption).  All bonds issued and to be issued under the Indenture are and will be equally secured by the pledge and covenants made therein, except as may otherwise be expressly provided in the Indenture.

Subsequent Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Terms.  Each Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term (other than the Initial Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term) shall commence on the Adjustment Date immediately following the end of the preceding Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term and will continue to but excluding the next succeeding Adjustment Date.  For each Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term after the Initial Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term shall be a period determined at the direction of the Company which is equal to one (1) whole year or any integral multiple of whole years, but in no event shall any such Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term extend beyond the Final Maturity Date of the Initial Bonds.  The Business Day immediately following the last day of each Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term as determined pursuant to the Indenture shall be the Adjustment Date.  The Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on each Adjustment Date.
 
Except as provided in the paragraph below, the interest rate applicable to the Bonds on and after each Adjustment Date shall be the interest rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on the Determination Date immediately preceding such Adjustment Date.  The Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate applicable to the Bonds shall be the lower of (i) the lowest rate which, in the best professional judgment of the Remarketing Agent (having due regard to the prevailing market conditions), would be necessary to enable the Bonds to be sold at par on the Adjustment Date, provided that the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate shall not exceed the Maximum Rate, or (ii) The Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index (as published in The Bond Buyer or any successor publication thereto) for the most recent period for which such information is available as of the date the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate is established, plus two hundred fifty (250) basis points.  In the event that certain conditions to an Interest Rate Change required under the Indenture shall not be met, the interest rate on the Bonds then in effect shall remain in effect as the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate for the next succeeding Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, and the term of the next Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term shall be the shorter of (i) the same period as the immediately preceding Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, or (ii) the period until the Final Maturity Date of the Bonds.

If the Remarketing Agent is unable to remarket all of the Bonds at the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent as provided in the Indenture, the Remarketing Agent may at any time prior to the Adjustment Date increase the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate to that rate of interest which, as of the date of determination, is the lowest rate which, in the best professional judgment of the Remarketing Agent (having due regard to the prevailing market conditions), would be necessary to enable the Bonds to be sold at par on the Adjustment Date; provided, however, that such re-determined Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate shall not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate.
 
Inability to Determine Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate.  If, for any reason, the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate for the Bonds is not or cannot be determined by the Remarketing Agent in the manner specified in the Indenture, the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate will be equal to the closing yield, plus two hundred fifty (250) basis points, for Treasury Bills, Notes or Bonds, as applicable, of the maturity closest to, without exceeding, the term of the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term determined in accordance with the Indenture, as such yield is published in the table captioned “U.S. Securities Prices” in the edition of The Bond Buyer (or if The Bond Buyer or such table is no longer published, any other published similar rate as is determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion to be appropriate) published on the day on which such Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate is determined, or if such yield or other similar rate is not published on that day, the day of the most recent publication of such yield or other similar rate.
 
Conclusiveness of Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Determination.  The determination in accordance with the Indenture of the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate to be borne by the Bonds shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the holders of the Bonds.
 
Mandatory Tender of Bonds on each Purchase Date.  On each Purchase Date, the Bonds shall be subject to mandatory tender for purchase by the Tender Agent at the Purchase Price.
 
IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE BY HOLDERS OF BONDS TO TENDER BONDS FOR PURCHASE ON A PURCHASE DATE AS PROVIDED ABOVE, SAID HOLDERS OF BONDS SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY PAYMENT (INCLUDING ANY INTEREST TO ACCRUE SUBSEQUENT TO THE PURCHASE DATE) OTHER THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR SUCH UNTENDERED BONDS, AND THE HOLDERS OF ANY UNTENDERED BONDS SHALL NO LONGER BE ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF THE INDENTURE, EXCEPT FOR THE PURPOSE OF PAYMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE THEREOF, AND SHALL BE DEEMED PURCHASED, CANCELLED AND NO LONGER OUTSTANDING UNDER THE INDENTURE.
 
 
C-6

 
Maximum Rate.  In no event shall the Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate (notwithstanding any other provision of this bond) exceed the Maximum Interest Rate.
 
General Interest Rate Limitation.  Anything herein or in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Issuer hereunder and under the Indenture shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest or other amounts hereon shall not be required to the extent that receipt of any such payment by a holder of this bond would be contrary to the provisions of law applicable to such holder of this bond which would limit the maximum rate of interest which may be charged or collected by such holder of this bond.
 
Redemption of Bonds.  (A)  General Optional Redemption.  (1) During the Initial Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, the Bonds shall be subject to redemption, on or after May 1, 2012, in whole at any time or in part on any Interest Payment Date (but if in part in integral multiples of $5,000 and in the minimum principal amount of $100,000) at the option of the Issuer (which option shall be exercised only upon the giving of notice by the Company of its intention to prepay loan payments due under the Loan Agreement), at the Redemption Price of one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.
 
(ii)           During any Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term (other than the Initial Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term), the Bonds shall be subject to redemption, in whole at any time or in part on any Interest Payment Date (but if in part in integral multiples of $5,000 and in the minimum principal amount of $100,000) at the option of the Issuer (which option shall be exercised only upon the giving of notice by the Company of its intention to prepay loan payments due under the Loan Agreement), at the Redemption Price of one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid principal amount of the Initial Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption, commencing on or after that date (the “First Optional Redemption Date”) as determined below:
 
(A)           if there shall be ten (10) or less years in such Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, the First Optional Redemption Date shall be the second (2nd) anniversary of the date of commencement of such Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, and
 
(B)           if there shall be more than ten (10) years in such Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term, the First Optional Redemption Date shall be the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of commencement of such Adjustable Fixed Interest Rate Term.
 
(b)           Extraordinary Redemption.  The Bonds are also subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Issuer exercised at the direction of the Company (which option shall be exercised only upon the giving of notice by the Company of its intention to prepay loan payments due under the Loan Agreement), as a whole on any date, upon notice or waiver of notice as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price of one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption, if one or more of the following events shall have occurred:
 
 
C-7

 
(i)           The Facility shall have been damaged or destroyed to such extent that, as evidenced by a certificate of an Independent Engineer filed with the Issuer and the Trustee, (A) the Facility cannot be reasonably restored within a period of one year from the date of such damage or destruction to the condition thereof immediately preceding such damage or destruction, (B) the Company is thereby prevented or likely to be prevented from carrying on its normal operation at the Facility for a period of one year from the date of such damage or destruction, or (C) the restoration cost of the Facility would exceed the total amount of all insurance proceeds, including any deductible amount, in respect of such damage or destruction; or
 
(ii)           Title to, or the temporary use of, all or substantially all of the Facility shall have been taken or condemned by a competent authority which taking or condemnation results, or is likely to result, in the Company being thereby prevented or likely to be prevented from carrying on its normal operation at the Facility for a period of one year from the date of such taking or condemnation, as evidenced by a certificate of an Independent Engineer filed with the Issuer and the Trustee; or
 
(iii)           As a result of changes in the Constitution of the United States of America or of the State or of legislative or executive action of the State or any political subdivision thereof or of the United States of America or by final decree or judgment of any court after the contest thereof by the Company, the Loan Agreement becomes void or unenforceable or impossible of performance in accordance with the intent and purpose of the parties as expressed therein or unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities are imposed upon the Company by reason of the operation of the Facility.
 
If the Bonds are to be redeemed in whole as a result of the occurrence of any of the events described above, the Company shall deliver to the Issuer and the Trustee a certificate of an Authorized Representative of the Company stating that, as a result of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such redemption, the Company has discontinued, or at the earliest practicable date will discontinue, its operation of the Facility for its intended purposes.
 
(c)           Mandatory Sinking Fund Installment Redemption.  The Bonds shall be subject to mandatory redemption by the Issuer prior to maturity, in part by lot, at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of  the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the date of redemption, from mandatory Sinking Fund Installments on the dates and in the principal amounts set forth below, provided that the amounts of such Sinking Fund Installments shall be reduced by the credits provided for in the Indenture:

(d)           Mandatory Redemption from Excess Proceeds and Certain Other Amounts.  The Bonds shall be redeemed at any time in whole or in part by lot prior to maturity in the event and to the extent
 
(i)           excess Bond proceeds shall remain after the completion of the Project,
 
 
C-9

 
(ii)          excess title insurance or property insurance proceeds or condemnation awards shall remain after the application thereof pursuant to the Loan Agreement and this Indenture, or
 
(iii)         excess proceeds shall remain after the release or substitution of fixtures or other portions of the Facility,
 
in each case at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of redemption.
 
(e)           Mandatory Redemption Upon Failure to Operate the Facility for Approved Project Operations, Material Violation of Material Legal Requirements, False Representation or Failure to Maintain Liability Insurance.  The Bonds are also subject to mandatory redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Issuer, as a whole only, in the event (i) the Issuer shall determine that (w) the Company is operating the Facility or any portion thereof, or is allowing the Facility or any portion thereof to be operated, not for the Approved Project Operations, (x) the Company, any Principal of the Company or any Person that directly or indirectly Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Company has committed a material violation of a material Legal Requirement, (y) any Conduct Representation is false, misleading or incorrect in any material respect at any date, as if made on such date, or (z) a Required Disclosure Statement delivered to the Issuer under any Project Document is not acceptable to the Issuer acting in its sole discretion, or (ii) the Company shall fail to obtain or maintain the public liability insurance with respect to the Facility required under the Loan Agreement, and, in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, the Company shall fail to cure any such default or failure within the applicable time periods set forth in the Loan Agreement following the receipt by the Company of written notice of such default or failure from the Issuer and a demand by the Issuer on the Company to cure the same.  Any such redemption shall be made upon notice or waiver of notice to the Bondholders as provided in this Indenture, at the Redemption Price of one hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid principal amount of the Bonds, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of redemption.
 
(f)           Mandatory Taxability Redemption.  Upon the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability, the Bonds shall be redeemed prior to maturity on any date within one hundred twenty (120) days following such Determination of Taxability, at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest at the annual rate of thirteen percent (13%) from the occurrence of the Event of Taxability to the date of redemption.  The Bonds shall be redeemed in whole unless redemption of a portion of the Bonds Outstanding would have the result that interest payable on the Bonds remaining Outstanding after such redemption would not be includable in the gross income of any Holder of a Bond (other than a Holder who is a “substantial user” of the Facility or a “related person”, within the meaning of the Code).  In such event, the Bonds shall be redeemed in such amount as is deemed necessary in the opinion of Nationally Recognized Bond Counsel to accomplish that result.
 
 
C-10

 
(g)           Purchase in Lieu of Optional Redemption.  In lieu of calling Bonds for optional redemption, Bonds shall be subject to mandatory tender for purchase at the direction of the Issuer, upon the direction of the Company, in whole or in part (and, if in part, in such manner as determined by the Company) on any date, at a Purchase Price equal to the applicable Redemption Price for any optional redemption of such Bonds as provided above, plus accrued interest to the purchase date.  Purchases in lieu of an optional redemption shall be permitted, with the consent of the Issuer, upon the delivery to the Issuer and the Trustee of (i) an opinion of Nationally Recognized Bond Counsel addressed to the Issuer and the Trustee substantially to the effect that (A) such purchases in lieu of optional redemption comply with the provisions of the Indenture and (B) neither such purchases in lieu of an optional redemption nor any transaction directly related thereto will adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for purposes of federal income taxation, and (ii) such other opinions, certificates or documentation as the Issuer may require.
 
Redemption Procedures.  If any of the Bonds are to be called for redemption, the Indenture requires a copy of the redemption notice to be mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to such redemption date to the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration books.  All Bonds so called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the date fixed for redemption if funds for their redemption are on deposit at the place of payment at that time.  If notice of redemption shall have been given as aforesaid, the Bonds called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date, provided, however, that with respect to any optional redemption of the Bonds as provided in this bond, such notice shall state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption of moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on such Bonds to be redeemed, and that if such moneys shall not have been so received said notice shall be of no force and effect and the Issuer shall not be required to redeem such Bonds.  In the event that such notice of optional redemption contains such a condition and such moneys are not so received, the redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received.  If a notice of optional redemption shall be unconditional, or if the conditions of a conditional notice of optional redemption shall have been satisfied, then upon presentation and surrender of Bonds so called for redemption at the place or places of payment, such Bonds shall be redeemed.
 
Remarketing Agent; Tender Agent.  The initial Remarketing Agent under the Indenture is Roosevelt & Cross Incorporated, New York, New York.  The initial Tender Agent under the Indenture is The Bank of New York Mellon, New York, New York.  The Remarketing Agent and the Tender Agent may be changed at any time in accordance with the Indenture.
 
Amendment of Indenture.  The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the holders of the Bonds at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding thereunder.  Any such consent shall be conclusive and binding upon each such holder and upon all future holders of each Bond and of any such Bond issued upon the transfer thereof, whether or not notation of such consent is made thereon.
 
Denominations.  The Bonds are issuable in the form of fully registered bonds in the denomination of $100,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000 in excess thereof.
 
 
C-11

 
Exchange of Bonds.  The holder of this bond may surrender the same, at the designated corporate trust office of the Trustee, in exchange for an equal aggregate principal amount of Bonds of any of the Authorized Denominations of the same maturity and maturities and interest rate as this bond or the Bonds so surrendered, subject to the conditions and upon payment of the charges provided in the Indenture.  However, the Trustee will not be required to (i) transfer or exchange any Bonds during the period between a Record Date and the following Interest Payment Date or during the period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any day for the selection of Bonds to be redeemed, (ii) transfer or exchange any Bonds selected, called or being called for redemption in whole or in part, or (iii) register any transfer of or exchange any Bond which is subject to mandatory purchase.
 
Transfer of Bonds.  This bond is transferable, as provided in the Indenture, only upon the books of the Issuer kept for that purpose at the designated corporate trust office of the Trustee by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact, upon surrender of this bond (together with a written instrument of transfer in the form appearing on this bond duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney-in-fact with a guaranty of the signature thereon by a member of the Stock Exchange Medallion Program or the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 17Ad-15, and thereupon a new fully registered Bond in the same aggregate principal amount and maturity and interest rate shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor as provided in the Indenture and upon payment of the charges therein prescribed.  The Issuer, the Bond Registrar, the Trustee and any Paying Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal or Redemption Price hereof, the Sinking Fund Installments therefor, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes whatsoever, and all payments made to any such registered owner or upon his order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the Issuer, the Company, the Bond Registrar, the Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Remarketing Agent nor any Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 
In all cases in which the privilege of transferring or exchanging Bonds is exercised, the Issuer or the Trustee may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any expenses and any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid in connection therewith; any such expenses shall be paid by the Company but any such tax, fee or other governmental charge shall be paid by the Holder requesting such transfer or exchange.
 
 
C-12

 
Book Entry System.  The Bonds are being issued by means of a book entry system with no physical distribution of bond certificates to be made except as provided in the Indenture.  One Bond certificate with respect to each date on which the Bonds are stated to mature, registered in the nominee name of the Securities Depository, is being issued and required to be deposited with the Securities Depository and immobilized in its custody or in the custody of its agent.  The book entry system will evidence positions held in the Bonds by the Securities Depository’s Participants, beneficial ownership of the Bonds in Authorized Denominations being evidenced in the records of such Participants.  Transfers of ownership shall be effected on the records of the Securities Depository and its Participants pursuant to rules and procedures established by the Securities Depository and its Participants.  The Issuer and the Trustee will recognize the Securities Depository nominee, while the registered owner of this bond, as the owner of this bond for all purposes, including (i) payments of principal of, Sinking Fund Installments for, if any, Purchase Price, redemption premium, if any, and interest on, this bond, (ii) notices, and (iii) voting.  Transfer of principal, Sinking Fund Installments, Purchase Price, interest and any redemption premium payments to Participants of the Securities Depository, and transfer of principal, Sinking Fund Installments, Purchase Price, interest and any redemption premium payments to Beneficial Owners of the Bonds by Participants of the Securities Depository will be the responsibility of such Participants and other nominees of such Beneficial Owners.  The Issuer and the Trustee will not be responsible or liable for such transfers of payments or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by the Securities Depository, the Securities Depository nominee, its Participants or persons acting through such Participants.  While the Securities Depository nominee is the owner of this bond, notwithstanding the provision hereinabove contained, payments of principal of, Sinking Fund Installments, if any, Purchase Price, redemption premium, if any, and interest on this bond shall be made in accordance with existing arrangements among the Issuer, the Trustee and the Securities Depository.
 
Acceleration of Bonds.  In certain events, on the conditions, in the manner and with the effect set forth in the Indenture, the principal of all the Bonds and Additional Bonds issued under the Indenture and then Outstanding may be declared and may become due and payable before the stated maturities thereof, together with accrued interest thereon.
 
Limitation on Bondholder Enforcement Rights.  The holder of this bond shall have no right to enforce the provisions of the Indenture, to institute action to enforce the provisions and covenants thereof or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceedings with respect thereto, except as provided in the Indenture.
 
Special Obligation of the Issuer.  This bond and the issue of which it forms a part are special limited revenue obligations of the Issuer, payable by the Issuer solely out of the loan payments, revenues or other receipts, funds or moneys of the Issuer pledged under the Indenture and from any amounts otherwise available under the Indenture for the payment of the Bonds.
 
Estoppel Clause.  It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all conditions, acts and things required by law and the Indenture to exist, to have happened and to have been performed precedent to and in the issuance of this bond, exist, have happened and have been performed, and that the issuance of this bond and the issue of which it forms a part are within every debt and other limit prescribed by the laws of the State of New York.
 
No Personal Liability.  Neither the members, directors, officers or agents of the Issuer nor any person executing this bond shall be liable personally or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance hereof.
 
Authentication by Trustee.  This bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit under the Indenture until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee.

(b)           The Debtor and the Mortgagee acknowledge that, as of the Closing Date,
 
(i)           Section 9-515 of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions provides that an initial financing statement filed in connection with a “public-financed transaction” is effective for a period of thirty (30) years after the date of filing if such initial financing statement indicates that it is filed in connection with a public financed transaction,
 
(ii)          Section 9-102(67) of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions defines a public-finance transaction as a secured transaction in connection with which, in substance, (x) bonds are issued, (y) all or a portion of the bonds have an initial stated maturity of at least twenty (20) years, and (z) the debtor, obligor, secured party or assignee with respect to the collateral or secured obligation is a governmental unit of a state, and
 
(iii)         subject to any future change in law, the initial financing statement as shall be filed with respect to the security interest described above shall therefore have an effective period of thirty (30) years after the date of filing, for the purpose of determining the date by which continuation statements shall be filed.
 
(c)           The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, because the foregoing financing statements evidence collateral for the Bonds, and because the Bonds are municipal securities with a term that is at least twenty (20) years in duration, there is no need under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York to re-file such financing statements in order to preserve the liens and security interests that they create for the period commencing with the Closing Date and terminating on the thirtieth anniversary of the Closing Date.
 
Subsequent to the foregoing recordation and filings, if in the Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor (described hereinbelow), to preserve (after the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date) the lien and security interest of this Mortgage, it is necessary to re-record and/or re-index documents, re-file financing statements and/or file continuation statements and/or take any other actions (individually or collectively, the “Continuation Action(s)”), then, the Debtor in a timely manner shall: (A) as applicable, (i) prepare and deliver to the Mortgagee all necessary instruments and filing papers, together with remittances equal to the cost of required filing fees and other charges, so that the Mortgagee may perform the Continuation Actions, or (ii) electronically perform the Continuation Actions and deliver to the Mortgagee written certification (upon which the Mortgagee may conclusively rely) that such performance has occurred, specifying the Continuation Actions performed, or (iii) perform some of the Continuation Actions in the manner described in clause “(i)” and the others in the manner  described in clause “(ii)”; and (B) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Mortgagee the Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor as described below.  The Mortgagee may conclusively rely upon (y) when applicable, the certification referred to in clause “(A)(ii),” and (z) in all instances, the Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor.  In the event the Debtor chooses to have the Mortgagee perform all or some of the Continuation Actions, as provided in clause “(A)(i)” hereinabove, the Mortgagee shall reasonably promptly perform such Continuation Actions at the Debtor’s sole expense.  The Debtor shall perform the obligations described hereinabove in clauses “(A)” and “(B)” no later than ten (10) days prior to (i)(y) the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) each fifth (5th) anniversary thereafter, and/or (ii) the date (not covered by clause “(i)”) on which a Continuation Action is to be taken to preserve the lien and security interest of this Mortgage.

The Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor shall be addressed to the Debtor and the Mortgagee.  Counsel shall deliver successive Opinions of Counsel in respect of (i)(y) the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) every five-year period thereafter through the term of the Bonds, and/or (ii) the date of any required Continuation Action not covered by clause “(i),” in each case not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which a Continuation Action is required to be taken.  In the Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor, counsel shall opine as to: (i) what Continuation Actions are necessary; and (ii) the deadline dates for the required Continuation Actions; and (iii) the jurisdictions in which the Continuation Actions must be effected.  Counsel in such opinion shall additionally opine that, upon performance of the Continuation Actions by, as the case may be, (i) the Mortgagee with instruments and papers prepared by the Debtor, or (ii) the Debtor through electronic filing, or (iii) the Mortgagee as to some Continuation Actions, and the Debtor as to the others through electronic filings, all appropriate steps shall have been taken on the part of the Debtor and the Mortgagee then requisite to the maintenance of the perfection of the security interest of the Mortgagee in and to all property and interests which by the terms of this Mortgage are to be subjected to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage.
 
(d)           Any filings with respect to the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements may be made electronically, and the Debtor (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Mortgagee) shall have the right to designate a company to facilitate the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.
 
(e)           All costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the effecting of the requirements specified in this Section shall be paid by the Debtor.
 
(f)           The Debtor agrees to perform all other acts (including the payment of all fees and expenses) necessary in order to enable the Mortgagee to comply with this Section, and with Section 7.07 of the Indenture, including but not limited to, providing prompt notice to the Mortgagee of any change in either of the name or address of the Debtor.  The Debtor agrees that the Mortgagee, if permitted by applicable law, may provide for the re-recording of the Indenture or any other Security Document or the filing or re-filing of continuation statements without the cooperation of the Debtor as necessary at the Debtor’s sole cost and expense.
 
Section 3.8.        After-Acquired Property.  Except as provided in Section 3.4(c) of the Loan Agreement, all right, title and interest of the Debtor in and to all improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutes and replacements of, and all additions, accessions and appurtenances to, the Mortgaged Property (other than trade fixtures), or any part thereof, hereafter acquired, constructed, assembled or placed by or at the direction of the Debtor on or in the Facility (other than trade fixtures), and all conversions and proceeds of the security constituted thereby, immediately upon such acquisition, construction, assembly, placement or conversion, as the case may be, and in each such case without any further mortgage, conveyance or assignment or other act of the Debtor, shall become subject to the security and lien of this Mortgage as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as though now owned by the Debtor and specifically described in the Granting Clauses hereof; but at any and all times the Debtor, on demand, will execute, acknowledge, deliver to the Mortgagee and the Debtor will cause to be recorded or filed as provided in Section 3.8, any and all such further assurances and mortgages, conveyances or assignments thereof as the Mortgagee may reasonably require for the purposes of expressly and specifically subjecting the same to the security and lien of this Mortgage.

Section 3.9.        The Ground Lease.  i) The Debtor will promptly pay or cause to be paid all rents, additional rents and other charges as and when the same become due, and diligently perform and observe all terms, covenants and conditions required to be paid, performed and observed by the Debtor as lessee under the Ground Lease, within the period provided in the Ground Lease (provided, however, that the aforesaid covenant of the Debtor shall be deemed to require that all such rents, additional rents and other charges be paid, and all such terms, covenants and conditions be performed and observed, no later than five (5) Business Days in the case of a performance covenant (and no later than three (3) Business Days in the case of a payment obligation) prior to the date that the failure to make such payment or perform and observe such terms, covenants and conditions, would constitute a default under the Ground Lease), and will do all things necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired its rights under the Ground Lease.  The Debtor will furnish the Mortgagee, upon demand, proof of payment of all items which are required to be paid by the Debtor pursuant to the Ground Lease and proof of payment of which is required to be given to the lessor under the Ground Lease.  To the extent that the Ground Lease shall grant to the Debtor, as lessee thereunder, the privilege to postpone or defer the payment of any sum required to be paid thereunder, the failure of the Debtor to pay the same shall not constitute a default hereunder if and so long as the Debtor shall faithfully comply with all of the conditions and other requirements of the Ground Lease with respect to the exercise of such privilege.  The Debtor shall not waive any of its rights under the Ground Lease, or refrain from exercising any right or remedy accorded to it under the Ground Lease on account of any default by the lessor thereunder, or release the lessor from any liability or condone or excuse any improper actions of the lessor thereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the Mortgagee.
 
(b)           No release or forbearance of any of the Debtor’s obligations under the Ground Lease, pursuant to the Ground Lease or otherwise, shall release the Debtor from any of its obligations under this Mortgage, including its obligation with respect to the payment of rent as provided for in the Ground Lease and the performance of all of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Ground Lease to be kept, performed and complied with by the tenant therein.
 
(c)           The Debtor shall not make any election or give any consent or approval (other than the exercise of a renewal right or extension right or other right conferring a benefit on the Debtor, provided that any such action has no adverse effect or consequence to the Issuer, the Mortgagee or the Bondholders or the security for the Bonds) for which a right to do so is conferred upon the Debtor as tenant under the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee if such election, consent or approval would impair the rights of the Mortgagee or the security for the Obligations.  In case of any Event of Default under this Mortgage, all such rights, together with the right of termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease, all of which have been assigned for collateral purposes to the Mortgagee, shall vest in and be exercisable solely by the Mortgagee.
 
 
19

 
(d)           Not more than three hundred sixty (360) and less than two hundred seventy (270) days before the right of the Debtor to exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of the Ground Lease shall expire, the Debtor shall give the Mortgagee written notice specifying the date, term and manner for which such option or renewal is to be exercised.  Within ten (10) days of written demand by the Mortgagee, the Debtor shall exercise any such option or renewal which is necessary to extend the term of the Ground Lease beyond the term of this Mortgage or to comply with any Legal Requirement affecting the Debtor, the Issuer or the Mortgagee, or which is necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee, to preserve the value of the Mortgaged Property intended to be afforded by this Mortgage.  The Debtor shall promptly provide evidence of such exercise of such option or right to the reasonable satisfaction of the Mortgagee.  In the event that the Debtor fails to so exercise any such option or right or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Debtor hereby agrees and grants to the Mortgagee all right and authority to exercise such option in the name of the Debtor or in its own name.  Nothing contained herein shall affect or limit any rights of the Mortgagee under the Ground Lease.
 
(e)           In the event the Debtor shall violate any of the covenants specified in Section 3.9(a) above, then the Mortgagee shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to take any action as the Mortgagee may deem reasonably necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any default of the Debtor under the Ground Lease or any default of the lessor thereunder, it being agreed that upon receipt by the Mortgagee from the lessor under the Ground Lease of any notice of default, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely thereon and take any of the aforesaid action even though the Debtor denies or questions the existence of any such default, and shall have the immediate right to enter all or any portion of the Facility at such times and in such manner as the Mortgagee deems reasonably appropriate in order to prevent or to cure any such default, or any condition which with notice and/or lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default under the Ground Lease.
 
(f)           In the event the Debtor shall violate any of the covenants specified in Section 3.9(a) hereof, then, for the purpose of preventing or curing any default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease, the Mortgagee may (but shall be under no obligation to) do any act or execute any document in the name of the Debtor or as its attorney-in-fact, as well as in the name of the Mortgagee, without waiving or releasing the Debtor from any of its obligations hereunder.  The Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name or otherwise to do any and all acts and to execute any and all documents which in the opinion of the Mortgagee may be reasonably necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any default under the Ground Lease or to preserve any rights of the Debtor in, to or under the Ground Lease, or any Facility Lease, or to preserve any rights of the Debtor whatsoever in respect of any part of the Facility, subject, however, to the provisions of the Ground Lease and Section 5.1.
 
 
20

 
(g)           The Debtor shall, from time to time, use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to obtain from the landlord under the Ground Lease such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by the Debtor with the terms of the Ground Lease as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Mortgagee (but not more often than once in any calendar year except upon reasonable cause).  The curing by the Mortgagee of any default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease shall not remove or waive, as between the Debtor and the Mortgagee, any default which may have occurred hereunder by virtue of the default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease, and all sums expended by the Mortgagee (upon ten (10) days prior written notice by the Mortgagee to the Debtor of its intention to expend such sums, except if in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee an emergency condition exists) in order to cure any such default and costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with the curing of such default shall be paid by the Debtor to the Mortgagee upon demand with interest therein at the annual rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date of advancement until paid, and any such indebtedness shall be deemed to be secured by this Mortgage.
 
(h)           The Debtor shall not, without the prior consent of the Mortgagee, surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or terminate or cancel the Ground Lease, and the Debtor hereby assigns to the Mortgagee, as further security for the payment of the Obligations and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of the Debtor, as tenant under the Ground Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or to terminate or cancel the Ground Lease, and any such surrender of the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or termination or cancellation of the Ground Lease without the prior consent of the Mortgagee shall be void and of no force and effect.
 
(i)           The Debtor shall notify the Mortgagee promptly of (i) the occurrence of any default by the lessor under the Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by the lessor under the Ground Lease, (ii) the receipt by the Debtor of any notice (written or oral) from the lessor under the Ground Lease noting or claiming the occurrence of any default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease, and deliver to the Mortgagee a true copy of such notice, or (iii) any request made by either party to the Ground Lease for arbitration proceedings pursuant to the Ground Lease and of the institution or commencement of arbitration proceedings thereunder.  The Debtor shall permit the Mortgagee to participate in any arbitration proceedings in association with the Debtor, and if at the time any such arbitration proceedings shall be initiated, an Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, the Mortgagee is hereby granted the right to designate and appoint any arbitrators to be appointed by the Debtor under the Ground Lease.  If any action or proceeding shall be instituted to evict the Debtor or to recover possession of the Facility or any portion thereof or for any other purpose affecting the Ground Lease or this Mortgage, the Debtor shall, immediately upon service thereof on or to the Debtor, deliver to the Mortgagee a true and complete copy of each petition, summons, complaint, notice of motion, order to show cause and of all other provisions, pleadings, and papers, however designated, served in any such action or proceeding.
 
(j)           The Debtor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed modifications of the Ground Lease which the lessor thereunder agrees to make at the request of the Mortgagee necessary for the improving, maintaining or preserving the Mortgagee’s security in the Ground Lease.
 
 
21

 
(k)           The Debtor shall not sell or assign the Ground Lease or any of its rights thereunder or the leasehold estate created thereby or sublease all or any portion of the Facility except in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
 
(l)           The Debtor will promptly perform and observe all the terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by the Debtor as sublessor under the Facility Leases, within the periods provided in the Facility Leases prior to the date that the failure to make such payment or perform and observe such terms, covenants and conditions, would constitute a default under the respective Facility Leases), and will do all things necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired its rights under the Facility Leases.  The Debtor shall not waive any of its rights under the Facility Leases, or refrain from exercising any right or remedy accorded to it as sublessor thereunder on account of an event of default under any Facility Lease, or release any Facility Tenant from liability or condone or excuse any improper act of any Facility Tenant under any Facility Lease, in any case if such action or failure to take action were not effected (in the Debtor’s reasonable judgment) in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Debtor shall not voluntarily terminate a Facility Lease or accept a surrender of any Facility Lease or suffer or permit any termination or surrender of any Facility Lease, in each case prior to the scheduled expiration thereof, except (x) with the prior written consent of the Mortgagee which consent must be given if the Mortgagee is so directed by the Majority Holders (if not so directed, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (y) if the termination or surrender of such Facility Lease will not have a material adverse effect upon Facility Revenues, or (z) if the Debtor’s actions with respect to such Facility Tenant and Facility Lease are taken (in the Debtor’s reasonable judgment) in a good faith commercially reasonable manner.
 
(m)           The Debtor will not (i) modify, amend or supplement any Facility Lease if such modification, amendment or supplement would have a material adverse effect on Facility Revenues (except if such material adverse effect on Facility Revenues is only of a short-term consequence and is not reasonably likely to have a long-term material adverse effect on Facility Revenues), or (ii) require any Facility Tenant to subordinate any Facility Lease to the Lien of any mortgage on the Facility other than Permitted Encumbrances.  The Debtor shall deliver to the Mortgagee, promptly following the execution thereof, a copy of each executed amendment, modification or supplement to a Facility Lease, accompanied by a certificate of an Authorized Representative of the Debtor to the effect that such amendment, modification or supplement was entered into in good faith by the Debtor and was commercially reasonable.
 
(n)           Each Facility Lease entered into by the Debtor must provide that the Facility Lease is subordinate to the Lien of this Mortgage and any extensions, replacements or modifications hereof.
 
(o)           The Mortgagee is hereby granted the right to participate in any dispute with the lessor under the Ground Lease, and the Debtor shall not settle with the lessor under the Ground Lease any insurance or condemnation claim or adjustment in an amount in excess of $500,000 without the consent of the Mortgagee.
 
 
22

 
(p)           If there shall be filed by or against the Debtor a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code, Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), then the Lien of this Mortgage shall attach to all of the Debtor’s rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, including, but not limited to, §365 thereof.  Upon the filing of any petition by or against the Debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall immediately provide copies of all pleadings and notices related thereto to the Mortgagee.  The Debtor unconditionally assigns to the Mortgagee all of the Debtor’s rights to remain in possession of the Mortgaged Property following the filing of any bankruptcy petition by or against the Debtor, and acknowledges that the Mortgagee may file any pleading in furtherance thereof.  This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights, and remedies of the Debtor, and shall continue in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been satisfied and discharged in full.  Furthermore, the Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Mortgagee as the Debtor’s attorney in fact for the purpose of filing any pleading in the court in which the initial petition was filed or any court to which the action thereon may be removed, transferred, or assigned (the “Bankruptcy Court”) that the Mortgagee determines in its sole discretion to protect the Mortgagee’s interests in and to the Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to a motion to extend any applicable time period for the filing of any motion related to the assumption of the Ground Lease.
 
(q)           The Debtor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, file any motion or other pleading to reject or otherwise elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated under §365 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Any such motion, pleading, or election made without such prior written consent shall be void ab initio, and this Mortgage may be pled in bar thereof.  If the Debtor does file such a motion to reject the Ground Lease under §365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, unless the Mortgagee consents in writing to such rejection, the Debtor may not reject the Ground Lease unless the Debtor proves, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the Debtor was “insolvent,” within the meaning of §101 of the Bankruptcy Code, on the petition filing date.  If the Debtor, as tenant under the Ground Lease and as debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, shall desire to reject the Ground Lease pursuant to §365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall give the Mortgagee not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the date on which the Debtor intends to file a motion in or otherwise apply to the Bankruptcy Court for authority to reject the Ground Lease.  In such event, the Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon the Debtor within such thirty (30) day period a notice stating that the Mortgagee demands that the Debtor assume the Ground Lease and assign the Ground Lease to the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s designee pursuant to §365 of the Bankruptcy Code.  If the Mortgagee shall serve upon the Debtor the notice described in the preceding sentence, the Debtor shall not seek to reject the Ground Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in the preceding sentence.
 
(r)           If the Debtor shall desire to assume the Ground Lease, then the Debtor shall give the Mortgagee not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date on which the Debtor intends to file a motion in, or otherwise apply to, the Bankruptcy Court for authority to assume the Ground Lease.  The Debtor shall inform the Mortgagee as a part of such notice whether or not the Debtor intends to assign the Ground Lease following assumption thereof.  The Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon the Debtor within such ten (10) day period a notice stating that the Mortgagee demands that the Debtor assume the Ground Lease and assign the Ground Lease to the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s designee pursuant to §365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such election by the Mortgagee shall be binding upon the Debtor.  Should the Debtor file a motion to assume the Ground Lease, the Mortgagee shall have the sole right to determine what terms and conditions will provide the Mortgagee with “adequate assurance of future performance,” within the meaning of §365 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
 
23

 
(s)           If there shall be filed by or against the landlord or any fee owner of the Mortgaged Property a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify the Mortgagee thereof in writing.  The Debtor shall promptly deliver to the Mortgagee, following receipt, complete and correct copies of any and all notices, motions, summonses, pleadings, claim forms, applications, and other documents received by the Debtor in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.  In the event of such a bankruptcy filing, the Mortgagee shall have the option, exercisable upon notice from the Mortgagee to the Debtor, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel chosen by the Mortgagee.  If an Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, or if the Mortgagee shall reasonably determine that such actions are necessary to preserve the security of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee may proceed in its own name or in the name of the Debtor in connection with any such litigation, and the Debtor agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents, or other documents required by the Mortgagee in connection therewith.  The Debtor shall not commence any action, suit, proceeding, or case, or file any application or make any motion, seeking to terminate the Ground Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.  The Debtor hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers, and sets over to the Mortgagee all of the Debtor’s claims and rights to the payment of damages or any claim arising from any rejection of the Ground Lease by the landlord or any other fee owner of the Mortgaged Property, or the payment of any amount or claim associated with the Ground Lease in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code.  If an Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, or if the Mortgagee shall reasonably determine that such actions are necessary to preserve the security of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall have the right to proceed in its own name and/or in the name of the Debtor in respect of any claim, suit, action, or proceeding relating to the assumption or rejection of the Ground Lease by the landlord, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion and in the name of the Debtor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices, and other documents, or to defend against any objection thereto, in any case in respect to the landlord or any fee owner of the Mortgaged Property.  This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights, and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been satisfied and discharged in full.  Any amounts received by the Mortgagee as damages arising out of the rejection of the Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of the Mortgagee (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Section.  The Debtor shall promptly make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver, in form and substance satisfactory to the Mortgagee, a UCC Financing Statement (Form UCC 1), and all such additional instruments, agreements and other documents, as may at any time hereafter be required by the Mortgagee to effectuate and carry out the assignment made pursuant to this Section.
 
(t)           If the Debtor shall seek to offset against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the landlord or any fee owner of the Mortgaged Property of any of its obligations under the Ground Lease after the rejection by the landlord or any fee owner of the Mortgaged Property under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify the Mortgagee of its intent to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor.  The Mortgagee shall have the right to object to all or any part of such offset that, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee, would constitute a breach of the Ground Lease, and in the event of such objection, the Debtor shall not effect any offset of the amounts so objected to by the Mortgagee.  Neither the failure of the Mortgagee to object as aforesaid nor any objection relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by the Mortgagee.  The Debtor shall pay and protect the Mortgagee, and indemnify and save the Mortgagee harmless from and against, any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs, and expenses of every nature whatsoever (including without limitation, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses) arising from or relating to any off set by the Debtor against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease.
 
 
24

 
(u)           This Mortgage and the rights of the Mortgagee hereunder shall in all respects be subject and subordinate to the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions set forth in the Ground Lease.
 
Section 3.10.      No Merger of Estates.  So long as any portion of the Obligations shall remain unpaid, unless the Mortgagee shall otherwise consent, the interest of the lessor under the Ground Lease in the Facility and the leasehold estate of the Debtor created in the Facility pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates in the Debtor, or in any other Person by purchase, operation of law or otherwise.  If the Mortgagee shall acquire the interest of the lessor under the Ground Lease in the Facility and the leasehold estate created in the Facility pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease, by foreclosure of this Mortgage or otherwise, such estates shall not merge as a result of such acquisition and shall remain separate and distinct for all purposes after such acquisition unless and until the Mortgagee shall elect to merge such estates.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as authorizing the sale by the Debtor of its leasehold estates under the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.
 
Section 3.11.      Additional Taxes or Charges.  If any law or ordinance is enacted or adopted which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on this Mortgage, the Debtor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.  If at any time the United States of America, any state thereof or any governmental subdivision of any such state, shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to this Mortgage or any of the other Security Documents, the Debtor agrees to pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.  Nothing contained in this Section 3.11 shall obligate the Debtor to indemnify for any income tax liability arising by reason of this Mortgage.
 
Section 3.12.      Notice of Event of Default.  The Debtor shall immediately notify the Mortgagee in writing of any Event of Default or any event which with notice and/or lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default under any Security Document.  Any notice required to be given pursuant to this Section shall be signed by the Debtor and set forth a description of the default and the steps, if any, being taken to cure said default.  If no steps have been taken to cure a default, the notice should plainly state this fact.
 
 
25

 
Section 3.13.      Debtor’s Acquisition of Fee Estate.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.10, in the event that the Debtor, so long as any portion of the Obligations remains unpaid, shall be the owner and holder of the fee title to any leasehold portion of the Mortgaged Property, the lien of this Mortgage shall be spread to cover the Debtor’s fee title to such Mortgaged Property and said fee title shall be deemed to be included in the Mortgaged Property without any further action.  The Debtor agrees, at its sole cost and expense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees of the Mortgagee, to (i) execute any and all documents or instruments necessary to subject its fee title to the Mortgaged Property to the lien of this Mortgage; and (ii) provide a title insurance endorsement which shall insure that the lien of this Mortgage is a first lien on the Debtor’s fee title to the Mortgaged Property.
 
Section 3.14.      Leasehold Condominium.  In the event the Debtor shall subject the premises leased under the Ground Lease to a condominium regime of ownership pursuant to the provisions of Article 9-B of the New York Real Property Law, the Ground Lease and the Loan Agreement, the lien of this Mortgage shall automatically extend to the condominium declaration and by-laws effecting such condominium regime, and to each condominium unit created thereunder.

ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
 
Section 4.1.        Assignment of Leases and Rents.  ii) The Debtor hereby assigns to the Mortgagee all of the right, title and interest of Debtor in any and all Facility Leases (including all related rights, guarantees, amendments, supplements, modifications, renewals and extensions relating thereto) together with (i) all Facility Revenues, including all rents, income, profits, issues, avail, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, funds deposited by any Facility Tenant to pay costs of construction, restoration or repair, and any other awards and settlements arising from such Facility Leases, and all other payments by the Facility Tenants to or owing to Debtor under any such Facility Leases (all such amounts payable by a Facility Tenant under a Facility Lease, being, collectively, the “Facility Lease Payments”), (ii) the rights to sue for, collect and receive such Facility Lease Payments, (iii) all amendments, supplements, modifications, renewals and extensions thereof now existing or hereafter made, (iv) the right to amend, supplement, modify, waive, extend, renew or cancel such Facility Leases, (v) any and all guarantees of any Facility Tenant’s obligations under any such Facility Lease, (vi) the rights of the Debtor to collect, receive, hold and apply all bonds and security in all of said such Facility Leases provided to be furnished to the Debtor thereunder, (vii) the rights of the Debtor to enforce any and all of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions in all of such Facility Leases and to give notices, consents, releases and waivers thereunder, (viii) the right to make all waivers and agreements, (ix) the right to give all notices, consents, releases and other instruments, (x) the right to give all notices of default and to take all action upon the happening of a default under any Facility Lease, including the commencement, conduct and consummation of proceedings as shall be permitted under any provision of any Facility Lease, or by law or in equity, (xi) the right to receive all notices sent to the Debtor, as lessor under any Facility Lease, and (xii) the right to do any and all other things whatsoever which the Debtor or any lessor is or may be entitled to do under any Facility Lease, and to apply the rents, issues and profits, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account of the Obligations.
 
(b)           This assignment and grant shall continue in effect until the Obligations are paid.  The Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter upon and to take possession of the Facility for the purpose of collecting said rents, issues and profits, and the Debtor shall be entitled to collect and receive said rents, issues and profits and to apply same in payment of the amounts becoming due on the Obligations, operating expenses related to the Facility and other expenses (capital or otherwise) consistent with the purposes of the Debtor until the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Debtor will pay monthly in advance to the Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect said rents, issues and profits, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of the Facility or of such part thereof as may be in the possession of the Debtor, and upon default in any such payment will vacate and surrender the possession of the Facility to the Mortgagee or to such receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings.
 
(c)           As long as no default or Event of Default shall exist under the Indenture or under any other Security Document including this assignment, Mortgagee shall permit Debtor
 
(i)           to sue for Facility Lease Payments, and
 
 
27

 
(ii)           to take any action stated in clauses (iii) through (xii) of the paragraph above,

(l)           The Mortgagee shall not be liable (except to the extent of its gross negligence or willful misconduct) for any loss sustained by the Debtor resulting from the Mortgagee’s failure to let the Facility or any portion thereof after the occurrence of an Event of Default or from any other act or omission of the Mortgagee either in collecting the Facility Lease Payments or, if the Mortgagee shall have taken possession of all or any portion of the Facility, in managing all or any portion of the Facility after any such Event of Default (except that the Mortgagee must exercise the judgment of a reasonable man under like circumstances).  The Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does the Mortgagee hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability of the Debtor under any Facility Lease or under or by reason of this Mortgage, and the Debtor shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Mortgagee for, and to hold the Mortgagee harmless from, any and all liability, loss or damage which may or might be incurred under any Facility Lease or under or by reason of this Mortgage and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against the Mortgagee by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any Facility Lease (collectively, the “Claims”), except to the extent such Claims are a direct result of the Mortgagee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Should the Mortgagee incur any such liability under any Facility Lease or under or by reason of this Mortgage or in defense of any such claims or demands, the Debtor shall reimburse the Mortgagee therefor, including, without limitation, its costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, within five (5) Business Days after demand, and upon the failure of the Debtor to do so, the Mortgagee may, at its option, exercise its remedies under the Indenture or under any other Security Document.  It is further understood that this Mortgage shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of all or any portion of the Facility upon the Mortgagee, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any Facility Lease, nor shall it operate to make the Mortgagee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Facility by any Facility Tenant or any other Person, or for any dangerous or defective condition affecting any portion of the Facility, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Facility resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, invitee, employee, stranger or any other Person.

Section 7.1.        No Liability of Debtor’s Members, Managers, Officers, Directors, Employees and Agents.  It is agreed that, other than the Parent, the members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents of the Debtor shall have no personal liability hereunder.  All covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the Debtor contained herein shall be deemed to be covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the Debtor and, other than the Parent, not of any member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Debtor in his individual capacity, and no recourse shall be had hereunder for the payment of the principal of any debt or interest thereon or any of the Obligations or for any claim based thereon or hereunder against any member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Debtor, other than the Parent, or any natural person executing this Mortgage.

ARTICLE VIII
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
Section 8.1.         Applicability of Section 13 of the Lien Law.  This Mortgage is given in order to secure funds to pay for the Project and by reason thereof, it is intended that this Mortgage shall be superior to any laborers’, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens which may be placed upon the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the recordation hereof.  The Debtor shall, therefore, in compliance with Section 13 of the New York Lien Law, 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 the Improvements and shall apply the same first to the payment of the cost of the Improvements before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.
 
Section 8.2.         No Merger.  It is the intention of this Mortgage that if the Mortgagee shall at any time hereafter acquire title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or any interest therein or lien thereon under any other mortgage or instrument, then, and until the Obligations have been paid in full or otherwise discharged or satisfied in accordance with their terms, the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder and the security interest created by this Mortgage shall not merge or become merged in or with the estate and interest of the Mortgagee as the holder and owner of title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or in or with the interest of the Mortgagee under or the lien of such other mortgage or instrument, and that, until such payment, discharge or satisfaction, the estate of the Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property and the security interest created by this Mortgage and the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder shall continue in full force and effect to the same extent as if the Mortgagee had not acquired title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any other interest therein or lien thereon.  If, however, the Mortgagee shall consent to such merger or if such merger shall nevertheless occur without its consent, then this Mortgage shall attach to, and cover and be a conveyance of the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the Mortgaged Property acquired by the Debtor, and the same shall be considered as granted, released, assigned, transferred, pledged, conveyed and set over to the Mortgagee and this Mortgage spread to cover such estate with the same force and effect as though specifically herein granted, released, assigned, transferred, pledged, conveyed, set over and spread, provided, however, the Debtor shall pay any and all transfer, recording or other taxes in connection therewith.
 
Section 8.3.        This Mortgage Constitutes A Commercial Transaction.  THE DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE TRANSACTION OF WHICH THIS MORTGAGE IS A PART IS A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION, AND HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ITS RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND HEARING AS ALLOWED UNDER ANY STATE OR FEDERAL LAW OR OTHER RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR OTHER RIGHT WHICH THE MORTGAGEE MAY DESIRE TO USE.  FURTHER, THE DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BENEFITS OF ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE VALUATION, APPRAISEMENT, HOMESTEAD, EXEMPTION, STAY, REDEMPTION AND MORATORIUM LAWS.
 
 
42

 
Section 8.4.         Consents. Wherever in this Mortgage the prior consent of the Mortgagee is required, the consent of the Mortgagee given as to one such transaction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require such consent to future or successive transactions.  Any such consents shall be in writing.
 
Section 8.5.        Service of Process.  The Debtor represents that it is subject to service of process in the State and covenants that it will remain so subject until all obligations, covenants and agreements of the Debtor under this Mortgage shall be satisfied and met.  If for any reason the Debtor should cease to be so subject to service of process in the State, the Debtor hereby irrevocably consents to the service of all process, pleadings, notices or other papers in any judicial proceeding or action by designating and appointing General Counsel, at Acadia Realty Trust, 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605, as its agent upon whom may be served all process, pleadings, notices or other papers which may be served upon the Debtor as a result of any of its obligations under this Mortgage.  If such appointed agent shall cease to act or otherwise cease to be subject to service of process in the State, the Debtor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Secretary of State of the State of New York as its agent upon whom may be served all process, pleadings, notices or other papers which may be served upon the Debtor as a result of any of its obligations under this Mortgage; provided, however, that the service of such process, pleadings, notices or other papers shall not constitute a condition to the Debtor’s obligations hereunder.
 
For such time as any of the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Debtor under this Mortgage remain unsatisfied, the Debtor’s agent(s) designated in this Section 8.5 shall accept and acknowledge on the Debtor’s behalf each service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.  The Debtor agrees and consents that each such service of process upon such agents and written notice of such service to the Debtor in the manner set forth in Section 8.6 shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the Debtor whether or not the Debtor shall then be doing, or at any time shall have done, business within the State and that each such service of process shall be of the same force and validity as if service were made upon the Debtor according to the laws governing the validity and requirements of such service in the State, and waive all claim of error by reason of any such service.
 
Such agents shall not have any power or authority to enter into any appearance or to file any pleadings in connection with any suit, action or other legal proceedings against the Debtor or to conduct the defense of any such suit, action or any other legal proceeding except as expressly authorized by the Debtor.
 
Section 8.6.         Notices.

(c)           The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, because the foregoing financing statements evidence collateral for the Bonds, and because the Bonds are municipal securities with a term that is at least twenty (20) years in duration, there is no need under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York to re-file such financing statements in order to preserve the liens and security interests that they create for the period commencing with the Closing Date and terminating on the thirtieth anniversary of the Closing Date.
 
Subsequent to the foregoing recordation and filings, if in the Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor (described hereinbelow), to preserve (after the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date) the lien and security interest of this Mortgage, it is necessary to re-record and/or re-index documents, re-file financing statements and/or file continuation statements and/or take any other actions (individually or collectively, the “Continuation Action(s)”), then, the Debtor in a timely manner shall: (A) as applicable, (i) prepare and deliver to the Mortgagee all necessary instruments and filing papers, together with remittances equal to the cost of required filing fees and other charges, so that the Mortgagee may perform the Continuation Actions, or (ii) electronically perform the Continuation Actions and deliver to the Mortgagee written certification (upon which the Mortgagee may conclusively rely) that such performance has occurred, specifying the Continuation Actions performed, or (iii) perform some of the Continuation Actions in the manner described in clause “(i)” and the others in the manner  described in clause “(ii)”; and (B) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Mortgagee the Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor as described below.  The Mortgagee may conclusively rely upon (y) when applicable, the certification referred to in clause “(A)(ii),” and (z) in all instances, the Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor.  In the event the Debtor chooses to have the Mortgagee perform all or some of the Continuation Actions, as provided in clause “(A)(i)” hereinabove, the Mortgagee shall reasonably promptly perform such Continuation Actions at the Debtor’s sole expense.  The Debtor shall perform the obligations described hereinabove in clauses “(A)” and “(B)” no later than ten (10) days prior to (i)(y) the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) each fifth (5th) anniversary thereafter, and/or (ii) the date (not covered by clause “(i)”) on which a Continuation Action is to be taken to preserve the lien and security interest of this Mortgage.
 
 
18

 
The Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor shall be addressed to the Debtor and the Mortgagee.  Counsel shall deliver successive Opinions of Counsel in respect of (i)(y) the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) every five-year period thereafter through the term of the Bonds, and/or (ii) the date of any required Continuation Action not covered by clause “(i),” in each case not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which a Continuation Action is required to be taken.  In the Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor, counsel shall opine as to: (i) what Continuation Actions are necessary; and (ii) the deadline dates for the required Continuation Actions; and (iii) the jurisdictions in which the Continuation Actions must be effected.  Counsel in such opinion shall additionally opine that, upon performance of the Continuation Actions by, as the case may be, (i) the Mortgagee with instruments and papers prepared by the Debtor, or (ii) the Debtor through electronic filing, or (iii) the Mortgagee as to some Continuation Actions, and the Debtor as to the others through electronic filings, all appropriate steps shall have been taken on the part of the Debtor and the Mortgagee then requisite to the maintenance of the perfection of the security interest of the Mortgagee in and to all property and interests which by the terms of this Mortgage are to be subjected to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage.
 
(d)           Any filings with respect to the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements may be made electronically, and the Debtor (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Mortgagee) shall have the right to designate a company to facilitate the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.
 
(e)           All costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the effecting of the requirements specified in this Section shall be paid by the Debtor.
 
(f)           The Debtor agrees to perform all other acts (including the payment of all fees and expenses) necessary in order to enable the Mortgagee to comply with this Section, and with Section 7.07 of the Indenture, including but not limited to, providing prompt notice to the Mortgagee of any change in either of the name or address of the Debtor.  The Debtor agrees that the Mortgagee, if permitted by applicable law, may provide for the re-recording of the Indenture or any other Security Document or the filing or re-filing of continuation statements without the cooperation of the Debtor as necessary at the Debtor’s sole cost and expense.
 
Section 3.8.        After-Acquired Property.  Except as provided in Section 3.4(c) of the Loan Agreement, all right, title and interest of the Debtor in and to all improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutes and replacements of, and all additions, accessions and appurtenances to, the Mortgaged Property (other than trade fixtures), or any part thereof, hereafter acquired, constructed, assembled or placed by or at the direction of the Debtor on or in the Facility (other than trade fixtures), and all conversions and proceeds of the security constituted thereby, immediately upon such acquisition, construction, assembly, placement or conversion, as the case may be, and in each such case without any further mortgage, conveyance or assignment or other act of the Debtor, shall become subject to the security and lien of this Mortgage as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as though now owned by the Debtor and specifically described in the Granting Clauses hereof; but at any and all times the Debtor, on demand, will execute, acknowledge, deliver to the Mortgagee and the Debtor will cause to be recorded or filed as provided in Section 3.8, any and all such further assurances and mortgages, conveyances or assignments thereof as the Mortgagee may reasonably require for the purposes of expressly and specifically subjecting the same to the security and lien of this Mortgage.

Section 3.9.         The Ground Lease.  i) The Debtor will promptly pay or cause to be paid all rents, additional rents and other charges as and when the same become due, and diligently perform and observe all terms, covenants and conditions required to be paid, performed and observed by the Debtor as lessee under the Ground Lease, within the period provided in the Ground Lease (provided, however, that the aforesaid covenant of the Debtor shall be deemed to require that all such rents, additional rents and other charges be paid, and all such terms, covenants and conditions be performed and observed, no later than five (5) Business Days in the case of a performance covenant (and no later than three (3) Business Days in the case of a payment obligation) prior to the date that the failure to make such payment or perform and observe such terms, covenants and conditions, would constitute a default under the Ground Lease), and will do all things necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired its rights under the Ground Lease.  The Debtor will furnish the Mortgagee, upon demand, proof of payment of all items which are required to be paid by the Debtor pursuant to the Ground Lease and proof of payment of which is required to be given to the lessor under the Ground Lease.  To the extent that the Ground Lease shall grant to the Debtor, as lessee thereunder, the privilege to postpone or defer the payment of any sum required to be paid thereunder, the failure of the Debtor to pay the same shall not constitute a default hereunder if and so long as the Debtor shall faithfully comply with all of the conditions and other requirements of the Ground Lease with respect to the exercise of such privilege.  The Debtor shall not waive any of its rights under the Ground Lease, or refrain from exercising any right or remedy accorded to it under the Ground Lease on account of any default by the lessor thereunder, or release the lessor from any liability or condone or excuse any improper actions of the lessor thereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the Mortgagee.
 
(b)           No release or forbearance of any of the Debtor’s obligations under the Ground Lease, pursuant to the Ground Lease or otherwise, shall release the Debtor from any of its obligations under this Mortgage, including its obligation with respect to the payment of rent as provided for in the Ground Lease and the performance of all of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Ground Lease to be kept, performed and complied with by the tenant therein.
 
(c)           The Debtor shall not make any election or give any consent or approval (other than the exercise of a renewal right or extension right or other right conferring a benefit on the Debtor, provided that any such action has no adverse effect or consequence to the Issuer, the Mortgagee or the Bondholders or the security for the Bonds) for which a right to do so is conferred upon the Debtor as tenant under the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee if such election, consent or approval would impair the rights of the Mortgagee or the security for the Obligations.  In case of any Event of Default under this Mortgage, all such rights, together with the right of termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease, all of which have been assigned for collateral purposes to the Mortgagee, shall vest in and be exercisable solely by the Mortgagee.
 
 
20

 
(d)           Not more than three hundred sixty (360) and less than two hundred seventy (270) days before the right of the Debtor to exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of the Ground Lease shall expire, the Debtor shall give the Mortgagee written notice specifying the date, term and manner for which such option or renewal is to be exercised.  Within ten (10) days of written demand by the Mortgagee, the Debtor shall exercise any such option or renewal which is necessary to extend the term of the Ground Lease beyond the term of this Mortgage or to comply with any Legal Requirement affecting the Debtor, the Issuer or the Mortgagee, or which is necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee, to preserve the value of the Mortgaged Property intended to be afforded by this Mortgage.  The Debtor shall promptly provide evidence of such exercise of such option or right to the reasonable satisfaction of the Mortgagee.  In the event that the Debtor fails to so exercise any such option or right or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Debtor hereby agrees and grants to the Mortgagee all right and authority to exercise such option in the name of the Debtor or in its own name.  Nothing contained herein shall affect or limit any rights of the Mortgagee under the Ground Lease.
 
(e)           In the event the Debtor shall violate any of the covenants specified in Section 3.9(a) above, then the Mortgagee shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to take any action as the Mortgagee may deem reasonably necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any default of the Debtor under the Ground Lease or any default of the lessor thereunder, it being agreed that upon receipt by the Mortgagee from the lessor under the Ground Lease of any notice of default, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely thereon and take any of the aforesaid action even though the Debtor denies or questions the existence of any such default, and shall have the immediate right to enter all or any portion of the Facility at such times and in such manner as the Mortgagee deems reasonably appropriate in order to prevent or to cure any such default, or any condition which with notice and/or lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default under the Ground Lease.
 
(f)           In the event the Debtor shall violate any of the covenants specified in Section 3.9(a) hereof, then, for the purpose of preventing or curing any default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease, the Mortgagee may (but shall be under no obligation to) do any act or execute any document in the name of the Debtor or as its attorney-in-fact, as well as in the name of the Mortgagee, without waiving or releasing the Debtor from any of its obligations hereunder.  The Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name or otherwise to do any and all acts and to execute any and all documents which in the opinion of the Mortgagee may be reasonably necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any default under the Ground Lease or to preserve any rights of the Debtor in, to or under the Ground Lease, or any Facility Lease, or to preserve any rights of the Debtor whatsoever in respect of any part of the Facility, subject, however, to the provisions of the Ground Lease and Section 5.1.
 
 
21

 
(g)           The Debtor shall, from time to time, use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to obtain from the landlord under the Ground Lease such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by the Debtor with the terms of the Ground Lease as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Mortgagee (but not more often than once in any calendar year except upon reasonable cause).  The curing by the Mortgagee of any default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease shall not remove or waive, as between the Debtor and the Mortgagee, any default which may have occurred hereunder by virtue of the default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease, and all sums expended by the Mortgagee (upon ten (10) days prior written notice by the Mortgagee to the Debtor of its intention to expend such sums, except if in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee an emergency condition exists) in order to cure any such default and costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with the curing of such default shall be paid by the Debtor to the Mortgagee upon demand with interest therein at the annual rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date of advancement until paid, and any such indebtedness shall be deemed to be secured by this Mortgage.
 
(h)           The Debtor shall not, without the prior consent of the Mortgagee, surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or terminate or cancel the Ground Lease, and the Debtor hereby assigns to the Mortgagee, as further security for the payment of the Obligations and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of the Debtor, as tenant under the Ground Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or to terminate or cancel the Ground Lease, and any such surrender of the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or termination or cancellation of the Ground Lease without the prior consent of the Mortgagee shall be void and of no force and effect.
 
(i)           The Debtor shall notify the Mortgagee promptly of (i) the occurrence of any default by the lessor under the Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by the lessor under the Ground Lease, (ii) the receipt by the Debtor of any notice (written or oral) from the lessor under the Ground Lease noting or claiming the occurrence of any default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease, and deliver to the Mortgagee a true copy of such notice, or (iii) any request made by either party to the Ground Lease for arbitration proceedings pursuant to the Ground Lease and of the institution or commencement of arbitration proceedings thereunder.  The Debtor shall permit the Mortgagee to participate in any arbitration proceedings in association with the Debtor, and if at the time any such arbitration proceedings shall be initiated, an Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, the Mortgagee is hereby granted the right to designate and appoint any arbitrators to be appointed by the Debtor under the Ground Lease.  If any action or proceeding shall be instituted to evict the Debtor or to recover possession of the Facility or any portion thereof or for any other purpose affecting the Ground Lease or this Mortgage, the Debtor shall, immediately upon service thereof on or to the Debtor, deliver to the Mortgagee a true and complete copy of each petition, summons, complaint, notice of motion, order to show cause and of all other provisions, pleadings, and papers, however designated, served in any such action or proceeding.
 
(j)           The Debtor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed modifications of the Ground Lease which the lessor thereunder agrees to make at the request of the Mortgagee necessary for the improving, maintaining or preserving the Mortgagee’s security in the Ground Lease.
 
 
22

 
 
(k)           The Debtor shall not sell or assign the Ground Lease or any of its rights thereunder or the leasehold estate created thereby or sublease all or any portion of the Facility except in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
 
(l)           The Debtor will promptly perform and observe all the terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by the Debtor as sublessor under the Facility Leases, within the periods provided in the Facility Leases prior to the date that the failure to make such payment or perform and observe such terms, covenants and conditions, would constitute a default under the respective Facility Leases), and will do all things necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired its rights under the Facility Leases.  The Debtor shall not waive any of its rights under the Facility Leases, or refrain from exercising any right or remedy accorded to it as sublessor thereunder on account of an event of default under any Facility Lease, or release any Facility Tenant from liability or condone or excuse any improper act of any Facility Tenant under any Facility Lease, in any case if such action or failure to take action were not effected (in the Debtor’s reasonable judgment) in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Debtor shall not voluntarily terminate a Facility Lease or accept a surrender of any Facility Lease or suffer or permit any termination or surrender of any Facility Lease, in each case prior to the scheduled expiration thereof, except (x) with the prior written consent of the Mortgagee which consent must be given if the Mortgagee is so directed by the Majority Holders (if not so directed, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (y) if the termination or surrender of such Facility Lease will not have a material adverse effect upon Facility Revenues, or (z) if the Debtor’s actions with respect to such Facility Tenant and Facility Lease are taken (in the Debtor’s reasonable judgment) in a good faith commercially reasonable manner.
 
(m)           The Debtor will not (i) modify, amend or supplement any Facility Lease if such modification, amendment or supplement would have a material adverse effect on Facility Revenues (except if such material adverse effect on Facility Revenues is only of a short-term consequence and is not reasonably likely to have a long-term material adverse effect on Facility Revenues), or (ii) require any Facility Tenant to subordinate any Facility Lease to the Lien of any mortgage on the Facility other than Permitted Encumbrances.  The Debtor shall deliver to the Mortgagee, promptly following the execution thereof, a copy of each executed amendment, modification or supplement to a Facility Lease, accompanied by a certificate of an Authorized Representative of the Debtor to the effect that such amendment, modification or supplement was entered into in good faith by the Debtor and was commercially reasonable.
 
(n)           Each Facility Lease entered into by the Debtor must provide that the Facility Lease is subordinate to the Lien of this Mortgage and any extensions, replacements or modifications hereof.
 
(o)           The Mortgagee is hereby granted the right to participate in any dispute with the lessor under the Ground Lease, and the Debtor shall not settle with the lessor under the Ground Lease any insurance or condemnation claim or adjustment in an amount in excess of $500,000 without the consent of the Mortgagee.
 
 
23

 
(p)           If there shall be filed by or against the Debtor a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code, Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), then the Lien of this Mortgage shall attach to all of the Debtor’s rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, including, but not limited to, §365 thereof.  Upon the filing of any petition by or against the Debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall immediately provide copies of all pleadings and notices related thereto to the Mortgagee.  The Debtor unconditionally assigns to the Mortgagee all of the Debtor’s rights to remain in possession of the Mortgaged Property following the filing of any bankruptcy petition by or against the Debtor, and acknowledges that the Mortgagee may file any pleading in furtherance thereof.  This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights, and remedies of the Debtor, and shall continue in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been satisfied and discharged in full.  Furthermore, the Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Mortgagee as the Debtor’s attorney in fact for the purpose of filing any pleading in the court in which the initial petition was filed or any court to which the action thereon may be removed, transferred, or assigned (the “Bankruptcy Court”) that the Mortgagee determines in its sole discretion to protect the Mortgagee’s interests in and to the Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to a motion to extend any applicable time period for the filing of any motion related to the assumption of the Ground Lease.
 
(q)           The Debtor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, file any motion or other pleading to reject or otherwise elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated under §365 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Any such motion, pleading, or election made without such prior written consent shall be void ab initio, and this Mortgage may be pled in bar thereof.  If the Debtor does file such a motion to reject the Ground Lease under §365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, unless the Mortgagee consents in writing to such rejection, the Debtor may not reject the Ground Lease unless the Debtor proves, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the Debtor was “insolvent,” within the meaning of §101 of the Bankruptcy Code, on the petition filing date.  If the Debtor, as tenant under the Ground Lease and as debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, shall desire to reject the Ground Lease pursuant to §365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall give the Mortgagee not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the date on which the Debtor intends to file a motion in or otherwise apply to the Bankruptcy Court for authority to reject the Ground Lease.  In such event, the Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon the Debtor within such thirty (30) day period a notice stating that the Mortgagee demands that the Debtor assume the Ground Lease and assign the Ground Lease to the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s designee pursuant to §365 of the Bankruptcy Code.  If the Mortgagee shall serve upon the Debtor the notice described in the preceding sentence, the Debtor shall not seek to reject the Ground Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in the preceding sentence.
 
(r)           If the Debtor shall desire to assume the Ground Lease, then the Debtor shall give the Mortgagee not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date on which the Debtor intends to file a motion in, or otherwise apply to, the Bankruptcy Court for authority to assume the Ground Lease.  The Debtor shall inform the Mortgagee as a part of such notice whether or not the Debtor intends to assign the Ground Lease following assumption thereof.  The Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon the Debtor within such ten (10) day period a notice stating that the Mortgagee demands that the Debtor assume the Ground Lease and assign the Ground Lease to the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s designee pursuant to §365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such election by the Mortgagee shall be binding upon the Debtor.  Should the Debtor file a motion to assume the Ground Lease, the Mortgagee shall have the sole right to determine what terms and conditions will provide the Mortgagee with “adequate assurance of future performance,” within the meaning of §365 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
 
24

 
(s)           If there shall be filed by or against the landlord or any fee owner of the Mortgaged Property a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify the Mortgagee thereof in writing.  The Debtor shall promptly deliver to the Mortgagee, following receipt, complete and correct copies of any and all notices, motions, summonses, pleadings, claim forms, applications, and other documents received by the Debtor in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.  In the event of such a bankruptcy filing, the Mortgagee shall have the option, exercisable upon notice from the Mortgagee to the Debtor, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel chosen by the Mortgagee.  If an Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, or if the Mortgagee shall reasonably determine that such actions are necessary to preserve the security of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee may proceed in its own name or in the name of the Debtor in connection with any such litigation, and the Debtor agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents, or other documents required by the Mortgagee in connection therewith.  The Debtor shall not commence any action, suit, proceeding, or case, or file any application or make any motion, in seeking to terminate the Ground Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.  The Debtor hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers, and sets over to the Mortgagee all of the Debtor’s claims and rights to the payment of damages or any claim arising from any rejection of the Ground Lease by the landlord or any other fee owner of the Mortgaged Property, or the payment of any amount or claim associated with the Ground Lease in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code.  If an Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, or if the Mortgagee shall reasonably determine that such actions are necessary to preserve the security of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall have the right to proceed in its own name and/or in the name of the Debtor in respect of any claim, suit, action, or proceeding relating to the assumption or rejection of the Ground Lease by the landlord, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion and in the name of the Debtor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices, and other documents, or to defend against any objection thereto, in any case in respect to the landlord or any fee owner of the Mortgaged Property.  This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights, and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been satisfied and discharged in full.  Any amounts received by the Mortgagee as damages arising out of the rejection of the Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of the Mortgagee (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Section.  The Debtor shall promptly make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver, in form and substance satisfactory to the Mortgagee, a UCC Financing Statement (Form UCC 1), and all such additional instruments, agreements and other documents, as may at any time hereafter be required by the Mortgagee to effectuate and carry out the assignment made pursuant to this Section.
 
 
25

 
(t)           If the Debtor shall seek to offset against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the landlord or any fee owner of the Mortgaged Property of any of its obligations under the Ground Lease after the rejection by the landlord or any fee owner of the Mortgaged Property under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify the Mortgagee of its intent to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor.  The Mortgagee shall have the right to object to all or any part of such offset that, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee, would constitute a breach of the Ground Lease, and in the event of such objection, the Debtor shall not effect any offset of the amounts so objected to by the Mortgagee.  Neither the failure of the Mortgagee to object as aforesaid nor any objection relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by the Mortgagee.  The Debtor shall pay and protect the Mortgagee, and indemnify and save the Mortgagee harmless from and against, any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs, and expenses of every nature whatsoever (including without limitation, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses) arising from or relating to any off set by the Debtor against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease.
 
(u)           This Mortgage and the rights of the Mortgagee hereunder shall in all respects be subject and subordinate to the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions set forth in the Ground Lease.
 
Section 3.10.      No Merger of Estates.  So long as any portion of the Obligations shall remain unpaid, unless the Mortgagee shall otherwise consent, the interest of the lessor under the Ground Lease in the Facility and the leasehold estate of the Debtor created in the Facility pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates in the Debtor, or in any other Person by purchase, operation of law or otherwise.  If the Mortgagee shall acquire the interest of the lessor under the Ground Lease in the Facility and the leasehold estate created in the Facility pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease, by foreclosure of this Mortgage or otherwise, such estates shall not merge as a result of such acquisition and shall remain separate and distinct for all purposes after such acquisition unless and until the Mortgagee shall elect to merge such estates.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as authorizing the sale by the Debtor of its leasehold estates under the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.
 
Section 3.11.      Additional Taxes or Charges.  If any law or ordinance is enacted or adopted which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on this Mortgage, the Debtor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.  If at any time the United States of America, any state thereof or any governmental subdivision of any such state, shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to this Mortgage or any of the other Security Documents, the Debtor agrees to pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.  Nothing contained in this Section 3.11 shall obligate the Debtor to indemnify for any income tax liability arising by reason of this Mortgage.
 
Section 3.12.      Notice of Event of Default.  The Debtor shall immediately notify the Mortgagee in writing of any Event of Default or any event which with notice and/or lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default under any Security Document.  Any notice required to be given pursuant to this Section shall be signed by the Debtor and set forth a description of the default and the steps, if any, being taken to cure said default.  If no steps have been taken to cure a default, the notice should plainly state this fact.
 
 
26

 
Section 3.13.      Debtor’s Acquisition of Fee Estate.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.10, in the event that the Debtor, so long as any portion of the Obligations remains unpaid, shall be the owner and holder of the fee title to any leasehold portion of the Mortgaged Property, the lien of this Mortgage shall be spread to cover the Debtor’s fee title to such Mortgaged Property and said fee title shall be deemed to be included in the Mortgaged Property without any further action.  The Debtor agrees, at its sole cost and expense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees of the Mortgagee, to (i) execute any and all documents or instruments necessary to subject its fee title to the Mortgaged Property to the lien of this Mortgage; and (ii) provide a title insurance endorsement which shall insure that the lien of this Mortgage is a second lien on the Debtor’s fee title to the Mortgaged Property.
 
Section 3.14.      Leasehold Condominium.  In the event the Debtor shall subject the premises leased under the Ground Lease to a condominium regime of ownership pursuant to the provisions of Article 9-B of the New York Real Property Law, the Ground Lease and the Loan Agreement, the lien of this Mortgage shall automatically extend to the condominium declaration and by-laws effecting such condominium regime, and to each condominium unit created thereunder.

(b)           This assignment and grant shall continue in effect until the Obligations are paid.  The Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter upon and to take possession of the Facility for the purpose of collecting said rents, issues and profits, and the Debtor shall be entitled to collect and receive said rents, issues and profits and to apply same in payment of the amounts becoming due on the Obligations, operating expenses related to the Facility and other expenses (capital or otherwise) consistent with the purposes of the Debtor until the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Debtor will pay monthly in advance to the Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect said rents, issues and profits, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of the Facility or of such part thereof as may be in the possession of the Debtor, and upon default in any such payment will vacate and surrender the possession of the Facility to the Mortgagee or to such receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings.
 
(c)           As long as no default or Event of Default shall exist under the Indenture or under any other Security Document including this assignment, Mortgagee shall permit Debtor
 
(i)           to sue for Facility Lease Payments, and
 
 
28

 
(ii)          to take any action stated in clauses (iii) through (xii) of the paragraph above,
 
provided, however, that Debtor shall only act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.
 
(d)           The Debtor will not, without the written consent of the Mortgagee, receive or collect rent from any tenant of the Facility or any part thereof for a period of more than one month in advance.
 
(e)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Debtor shall not have commenced to cure any default of the Debtor under any of the Facility Leases, nor shall have continued its efforts to effect such cure with good faith and due diligence, the Mortgagee shall have the right, but shall not have the obligation, at the Debtor’s expense, to cure any default by the Debtor under any of the Facility Leases upon at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Debtor, provided, however, that lesser notice shall be required in the event of any emergency situation which, in the Mortgagee’s judgment, may have a material adverse effect on the receipt of the Facility Lease Payments.
 
(f)           The Mortgagee shall not in any way be responsible for any failure to do any or all of the things for which the rights, interests, power and/or authority are herein granted; and the Mortgagee shall not be responsible for or liable under any of the agreements undertaken or obligations imposed upon the lessor under any Facility Lease or other agreements with respect to the Facility, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
(g)           The Mortgagee’s failure to do any of the things or exercise any of the rights, interests, powers and/or authorities granted hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the rights, interests, powers or authorities assigned and granted to the Mortgagee under this Mortgage.
 
(h)           The parties agree that this Mortgage is an actual assignment effective immediately, and that without demand each Facility Tenant or other person liable under or in respect of any Facility Lease shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, pay to or upon the Mortgagee’s order, and without any inquiry of any nature, and upon the declaration by the Mortgagee of an Event of Default hereunder, all Facility Lease Payments then or thereafter accruing under said Facility Leases or any other instrument or agreement, oral or written, granting rights to, and creating an obligation to pay, Facility Lease Payments in connection with the Facility.
 
(i)           All Facility Tenants or occupants of any part of the Facility are hereby authorized to recognize the claims and demands of the Mortgagee upon assertion of an Event of Default, without investigation as to the reason for any action taken by the Mortgagee or the validity or the amount or Obligations owing to the Mortgagee or the application to be made by the Mortgagee, of any amounts to be paid to the Mortgagee.  The Mortgagee’s sole signature shall be sufficient for the exercise of any right under this Mortgage, and the Mortgagee’s sole receipt given for any sums received shall be a full discharge and release therefor to any such Facility Tenant or occupant of the Facility.  Checks for all or any part of the rental collected under this Mortgage shall be made to the exclusive order of the Mortgagee, and, upon written request by the Debtor, the Mortgagee shall fully account to the Debtor as to all such payments received hereunder.
 
 
29

 
(j)           To the extent that the Mortgagee shall exercise the judgment of a reasonable man under like circumstances, the Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Facility Lease, nor shall this Mortgage operate to place upon the Mortgagee any responsibility for the control, operation, management, or repair of the Facility or the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any Facility Lease, nor shall this Mortgage operate to make the Mortgagee liable for any waste committed on the Facility by a Facility Tenant under any Facility Lease or any other Person, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Facility, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Facility, resulting in loss, injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee, invitee or stranger or any property thereof.
 
(k)           The Debtor shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify and hold the Mortgagee harmless of and from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or might incur under any of the Facility Leases or under or by reason of this Mortgage and of and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against it by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Facility Leases, except to the extent of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Mortgagee.  Should the Mortgagee incur any such liability, loss or damage under any of the Facility Leases or under or by reason of this Mortgage, or in the defense of any such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, shall be secured hereby, and the Debtor shall reimburse the Mortgagee therefor immediately upon demand.
 
(l)           The Mortgagee shall not be liable (except to the extent of its gross negligence or willful misconduct) for any loss sustained by the Debtor resulting from the Mortgagee’s failure to let the Facility or any portion thereof after the occurrence of an Event of Default or from any other act or omission of the Mortgagee either in collecting the Facility Lease Payments or, if the Mortgagee shall have taken possession of all or any portion of the Facility, in managing all or any portion of the Facility after any such Event of Default (except that the Mortgagee must exercise the judgment of a reasonable man under like circumstances).  The Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does the Mortgagee hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability of the Debtor under any Facility Lease or under or by reason of this Mortgage, and the Debtor shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Mortgagee for, and to hold the Mortgagee harmless from, any and all liability, loss or damage which may or might be incurred under any Facility Lease or under or by reason of this Mortgage and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against the Mortgagee by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any Facility Lease (collectively, the “Claims”), except to the extent such Claims are a direct result of the Mortgagee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Should the Mortgagee incur any such liability under any Facility Lease or under or by reason of this Mortgage or in defense of any such claims or demands, the Debtor shall reimburse the Mortgagee therefor, including, without limitation, its costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, within five (5) Business Days after demand, and upon the failure of the Debtor to do so, the Mortgagee may, at its option, exercise its remedies under the Indenture or under any other Security Document.  It is further understood that this Mortgage shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of all or any portion of the Facility upon the Mortgagee, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any Facility Lease, nor shall it operate to make the Mortgagee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Facility by any Facility Tenant or any other Person, or for any dangerous or defective condition affecting any portion of the Facility, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Facility resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, invitee, employee, stranger or any other Person.

(n)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, upon or at any time after default in the payment of any of the Obligations, and after the delivery of any notice and/or the expiration of any period of grace, if any, with respect to any such default provided for in the Security Documents, the Mortgagee may, at the Mortgagee’s option, without notice, either in the Mortgagee’s person or by agent and with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by any receiver to be appointed by a court, enter upon, take possession of, and manage and operate the Facility and each and every part thereof, and in connection therewith, the Mortgagee may make, cancel, enforce and modify Facility Leases; fix or modify rents; repair, maintain and improve the Facility; employ contractors, subcontractors and workmen in and about the Facility; obtain and evict tenants; in its own name, sue for or otherwise collect or reserve any and all Facility Lease Payments, including those past due and unpaid; employ leasing agents, managing agents, attorneys and accountants in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgagee’s rights hereunder and pay the reasonable fees and expenses thereof; and otherwise do and perform any and all acts which the Mortgagee may deem necessary and appropriate in and about the Facility for the protection thereof and of the Mortgagee’s rights hereunder or under the other Security Documents, and any and all amounts reasonably expended by the Mortgagee in connection with the foregoing shall constitute so much additional indebtedness secured hereby.  The Mortgagee shall apply any moneys collected by the Mortgagee, as aforesaid, less costs and expenses incurred, as aforesaid, upon any Obligations secured hereby in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.03 of the Indenture.  The entering upon and taking possession of the Facility, the collection of Facility Lease Payments, the exercise of any rights hereinabove specified, and the application of collections, as aforesaid, shall not cure, waiver, modify or otherwise affect any default hereunder or under the other Security Documents.
 
Section 4.2.        No Cancellation or Modification of Facility Leases.  Except as expressly permitted in the Loan Agreement, the Debtor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, make, or suffer to be made, any leases, or cancel or modify any leases or accept prepayments of installments of rent for a period of more than one month in advance or further assign the whole or any part of the rents without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.  No lease or contract covering all or any part of the Mortgaged Property shall be valid or effective without the prior written approval of the Mortgagee.  The Mortgagee shall have all of the rights against lessees of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in Section 291-f of the Real Property Law of New York.  In respect of any lease, the Debtor will (i) fulfill or perform each and every provision thereof on its part to be fulfilled or performed; (ii) promptly send copies of all notices of default which either shall send or receive thereunder to the Mortgagee; and (iii) enforce, short of termination thereof, the performance or observance of the provisions thereof.  Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall be deemed to impose on the Mortgagee any of the obligations of the lessor under the leases.

Section 4.4.        Debtor Not to Waive Rents.  The Debtor will not waive, release, reduce, discount or otherwise discharge or assign to any Person other than the Mortgagee the Facility Lease Payments, rents, issues and profits of the Facility.  In addition, the Debtor will observe and comply with all of its respective obligations as lessor under each Facility Lease, will promptly notify the Mortgagee if it receives any default notice thereunder and forward a copy of the default notice to the Mortgagee, and enforce any default thereunder by the Facility Tenant.
 
Section 4.5.        Debtor to Furnish Rent Rolls.  The Debtor will furnish to the Mortgagee, within fifteen (15) Business Days after mailing to the Debtor of a written request therefor, a detailed statement in writing, duly sworn, and covering the period of time specified in such request, showing all income derived from the operation of the Facility and all disbursements made in connection therewith, and containing a list of the names of all tenants of the Facility specified in such request, showing all income derived from the operation of the Facility and occupants other than those claiming possession through such tenants, the portion or portions of the Facility occupied by such tenant and occupant, the rents and other charges payable under the terms of their leases or other agreements, and the periods covered by such leases or other agreements.
 
Section 4.6.        Mortgagee Right to Cure Default.  If Debtor shall not have commenced to cure any default of the Debtor under any of the Facility Leases, nor shall have continued its efforts to effect such cure with good faith and due diligence, the Mortgagee shall have the right, but shall not have the obligation, at the Debtor’s expense, to cure any default by the Debtor under any of the Facility Leases upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to the Debtor, provided, however, that lesser notice shall be required in the event of any emergency situation which in the Mortgagee’s judgment may have any adverse effect on the receipt of the Facility Lease Payments.

ARTICLE VIII
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
Section 8.1.        Applicability of Section 13 of the Lien Law.  This Mortgage is given in order to secure funds to pay for the Project and by reason thereof, it is intended that this Mortgage shall be superior to any laborers’, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens which may be placed upon the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the recordation hereof.  The Debtor shall, therefore, in compliance with Section 13 of the New York Lien Law, 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 the Improvements and shall apply the same first to the payment of the cost of the Improvements before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.
 
Section 8.2.        No Merger.  It is the intention of this Mortgage that if the Mortgagee shall at any time hereafter acquire title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or any interest therein or lien thereon under any other mortgage or instrument, then, and until the Obligations have been paid in full or otherwise discharged or satisfied in accordance with their terms, the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder and the security interest created by this Mortgage shall not merge or become merged in or with the estate and interest of the Mortgagee as the holder and owner of title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or in or with the interest of the Mortgagee under or the lien of such other mortgage or instrument, and that, until such payment, discharge or satisfaction, the estate of the Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property and the security interest created by this Mortgage and the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder shall continue in full force and effect to the same extent as if the Mortgagee had not acquired title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any other interest therein or lien thereon.  If, however, the Mortgagee shall consent to such merger or if such merger shall nevertheless occur without its consent, then this Mortgage shall attach to, and cover and be a conveyance of the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the Mortgaged Property acquired by the Debtor, and the same shall be considered as granted, released, assigned, transferred, pledged, conveyed and set over to the Mortgagee and this Mortgage spread to cover such estate with the same force and effect as though specifically herein granted, released, assigned, transferred, pledged, conveyed, set over and spread, provided, however, the Debtor shall pay any and all transfer, recording or other taxes in connection therewith.
 
Section 8.3.        This Mortgage Constitutes A Commercial Transaction.  THE DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE TRANSACTION OF WHICH THIS MORTGAGE IS A PART IS A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION, AND HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ITS RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND HEARING AS ALLOWED UNDER ANY STATE OR FEDERAL LAW OR OTHER RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR OTHER RIGHT WHICH THE MORTGAGEE MAY DESIRE TO USE.  FURTHER, THE DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BENEFITS OF ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE VALUATION, APPRAISEMENT, HOMESTEAD, EXEMPTION, STAY, REDEMPTION AND MORATORIUM LAWS.
 
 
43

 
Section 8.4.         Consents. Wherever in this Mortgage the prior consent of the Mortgagee is required, the consent of the Mortgagee given as to one such transaction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require such consent to future or successive transactions.  Any such consents shall be in writing.
 
Section 8.5.        Service of Process.  The Debtor represents that it is subject to service of process in the State and covenants that it will remain so subject until all obligations, covenants and agreements of the Debtor under this Mortgage shall be satisfied and met.  If for any reason the Debtor should cease to be so subject to service of process in the State, the Debtor hereby irrevocably consents to the service of all process, pleadings, notices or other papers in any judicial proceeding or action by designating and appointing General Counsel, at Acadia Realty Trust, 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605, as its agent upon whom may be served all process, pleadings, notices or other papers which may be served upon the Debtor as a result of any of its obligations under this Mortgage.  If such appointed agent shall cease to act or otherwise cease to be subject to service of process in the State, the Debtor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Secretary of State of the State of New York as its agent upon whom may be served all process, pleadings, notices or other papers which may be served upon the Debtor as a result of any of its obligations under this Mortgage; provided, however, that the service of such process, pleadings, notices or other papers shall not constitute a condition to the Debtor’s obligations hereunder.
 
For such time as any of the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Debtor under this Mortgage remain unsatisfied, the Debtor’s agent(s) designated in this Section 8.5 shall accept and acknowledge on the Debtor’s behalf each service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.  The Debtor agrees and consents that each such service of process upon such agents and written notice of such service to the Debtor in the manner set forth in Section 8.6 shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the Debtor whether or not the Debtor shall then be doing, or at any time shall have done, business within the State and that each such service of process shall be of the same force and validity as if service were made upon the Debtor according to the laws governing the validity and requirements of such service in the State, and waive all claim of error by reason of any such service.
 
Such agents shall not have any power or authority to enter into any appearance or to file any pleadings in connection with any suit, action or other legal proceedings against the Debtor or to conduct the defense of any such suit, action or any other legal proceeding except as expressly authorized by the Debtor.
 
Section 8.6.        Notices.

Section 3.1.        Payment, Performance, Observance and Compliance.  The Debtor agrees to pay, perform, observe and comply with such of the Obligations to which it shall be subject (including this Mortgage) upon the terms and provisions required of the Debtor therein.
 
Section 3.2.        Acknowledgment of Amount Due.  The Debtor shall, upon request, furnish to the Mortgagee, in person within five (5) days, or, by mail within ten (10) days, a written statement duly acknowledged of the amount due under this Mortgage and whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Obligations.
 
Section 3.3.        Security Agreement. This Mortgage is and shall be deemed to be a security agreement under the New York State Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgagee shall have all the rights of a secured party thereunder with respect to that part of the Mortgaged Property that constitutes personal property subject thereto (sometimes referred to herein as the “Secured Property”).  Upon request by the Mortgagee, the Debtor shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagee any security agreement, financing or continuation statement or other document the Mortgagee reasonably deems necessary to protect or perfect its lien on the Mortgaged Property.  If the Debtor shall default under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee, in addition to any other rights and remedies that it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the New York State Uniform Commercial Code, including the right to take possession of the Secured Property or any part thereof or indicia thereof, and to take such other measures as the Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Secured Property.  Upon request or demand of the Mortgagee, the Debtor shall assemble the Secured Property and make it available to the Mortgagee at a convenient place acceptable to the Mortgagee.  The Debtor shall pay to the Mortgagee on demand all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred or paid by the Mortgagee in protecting its interest in the Secured Property and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Secured Property.  Any notice of sale, other disposition, or other intended action by the Mortgagee with respect to the Secured Property sent to the Debtor in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage at least seven (7) days prior to the date of any such sale, other disposition, or other intended action set forth or specified in the notice shall conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable within the meaning of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code unless objected to in writing by the Debtor within five (5) days after receipt by the Debtor of the notice.  The proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Secured Property, or any part thereof, shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations as provided in Section 6.17.
 
Section 3.4.         Ownership; Instruments of Further Assurance.  The Mortgagee on behalf of the Debtor shall defend the interest of the Debtor to the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof and the Debtor agrees to warrant and defend such interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.  The Debtor covenants that it will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such supplements hereto and such further acts, instruments and transfers as the Mortgagee may reasonably require for the better assuring, transferring, conveying, pledging, assigning and confirming unto the Mortgagee all and singular the property herein described and subject to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage and those revenues pledged hereby and by the Indenture to the payment of the Obligations.  Any and all property hereafter acquired (other than the Company’s Property) which is of the kind or nature herein provided to be and become subject to the lien and security interest hereof shall ipso facto, and without any further conveyance, assignment or act on the part of the Debtor or the Mortgagee, become and be subject to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage as fully and completely as though specifically described herein, but nothing in this sentence contained shall be deemed to modify or change the obligations of the Debtor heretofore made by this Section 3.4.
 
 
16

 
Section 3.5.         Creation of Liens; Indebtedness; Sale of Facility.  The Debtor represents and covenants that this Mortgage is and will be a third mortgage Lien upon the Mortgaged Property, subordinate only to the Mortgage and Security Agreement and Assignment of Leases and Rents (Acquisition Loan) and the Mortgage and Security Agreement and Assignment of Leases and Rents (Building Loan).  The Lien of this Mortgage is subject and subordinate to the Ground Lease and the Liens of the Mortgage and Security Agreement and Assignment of Leases and Rents (Acquisition Loan) and of the Mortgage and Security Agreement and Assignment of Leases and Rents (Building Loan).  The Debtor shall not (x) create or suffer to be created any Lien upon or pledge of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof except the Lien created by this Mortgage and Permitted Encumbrances, and except as expressly permitted under the Indenture, (y) incur any Indebtedness or issue any evidences of Indebtedness, other than the Obligations, and except as expressly permitted under the Indenture, secured by a Lien on the Mortgaged Property, or (z) sell, convey, transfer, lease, mortgage or encumber the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof except as specifically permitted under the Loan Agreement, the Indenture, this Mortgage and Permitted Encumbrances, so long as any of the Obligations are Outstanding.
 
Section 3.6.         Release of Property.  Reference is made to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 3.5 and 7.9 thereof, whereby the Debtor may withdraw from the Facility any fixtures or any right-of-way, easement, permit or license or unimproved portion thereof, all upon compliance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the Ground Lease.  At the request of the Debtor, the Mortgagee shall release from the lien and security interest of this Mortgage, the Mortgage and Security Agreement and Assignment of Leases and Rents (Acquisition Loan) and the Mortgage and Security Agreement and Assignment of Leases and Rents (Building Loan), and from under the Loan Agreement such portion of the property of the Facility so withdrawn upon compliance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement and shall confirm any such release.
 
Section 3.7.         Recording and Filing.  a) The Debtor shall cause this Mortgage and all supplements hereto to be recorded (at the sole cost and expense of the Debtor) as a mortgage of an interest in real property in the appropriate offices of the Register of The City of New York or in such other offices as may be at the time provided by law as the proper place for the recordation thereof.  In addition, the security interest of the Mortgagee, as created by this Mortgage, in the personal property and fixtures and the rights and other intangible interests herein described, shall be perfected by the filing of financing statements at the direction of the Debtor in the offices of the Secretary of State of the State in the City of Albany, New York, and in the offices of such Register of The City of New York, which financing statements shall be in accordance with the New York State Uniform Commercial Code - Secured Transactions.  All mortgage recording taxes, if any, and filing and recording charges and fees shall be payable by the Debtor.
 
 
17

 
(b)           The Debtor and the Mortgagee acknowledge that, as of the Closing Date,
 
(i)           Section 9-515 of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions provides that an initial financing statement filed in connection with a “public-financed transaction” is effective for a period of thirty (30) years after the date of filing if such initial financing statement indicates that it is filed in connection with a public financed transaction,
 
(ii)           Section 9-102(67) of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions defines a public-finance transaction as a secured transaction in connection with which, in substance, (x) bonds are issued, (y) all or a portion of the bonds have an initial stated maturity of at least twenty (20) years, and (z) the debtor, obligor, secured party or assignee with respect to the collateral or secured obligation is a governmental unit of a state, and
 
(iii)          subject to any future change in law, the initial financing statement as shall be filed with respect to the security interest described above shall therefore have an effective period of thirty (30) years after the date of filing, for the purpose of determining the date by which continuation statements shall be filed.
 
(c)           The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, because the foregoing financing statements evidence collateral for the Bonds, and because the Bonds are municipal securities with a term that is at least twenty (20) years in duration, there is no need under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York to re-file such financing statements in order to preserve the liens and security interests that they create for the period commencing with the Closing Date and terminating on the thirtieth anniversary of the Closing Date.
 
Subsequent to the foregoing recordation and filings, if in the Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor (described hereinbelow), to preserve (after the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date) the lien and security interest of this Mortgage, it is necessary to re-record and/or re-index documents, re-file financing statements and/or file continuation statements and/or take any other actions (individually or collectively, the “Continuation Action(s)”), then, the Debtor in a timely manner shall: (A) as applicable, (i) prepare and deliver to the Mortgagee all necessary instruments and filing papers, together with remittances equal to the cost of required filing fees and other charges, so that the Mortgagee may perform the Continuation Actions, or (ii) electronically perform the Continuation Actions and deliver to the Mortgagee written certification (upon which the Mortgagee may conclusively rely) that such performance has occurred, specifying the Continuation Actions performed, or (iii) perform some of the Continuation Actions in the manner described in clause “(i)” and the others in the manner  described in clause “(ii)”; and (B) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Mortgagee the Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor as described below.  The Mortgagee may conclusively rely upon (y) when applicable, the certification referred to in clause “(A)(ii),” and (z) in all instances, the Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor.  In the event the Debtor chooses to have the Mortgagee perform all or some of the Continuation Actions, as provided in clause “(A)(i)” hereinabove, the Mortgagee shall reasonably promptly perform such Continuation Actions at the Debtor’s sole expense.  The Debtor shall perform the obligations described hereinabove in clauses “(A)” and “(B)” no later than ten (10) days prior to (i)(y) the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) each fifth (5th) anniversary thereafter, and/or (ii) the date (not covered by clause “(i)”) on which a Continuation Action is to be taken to preserve the lien and security interest of this Mortgage.
 
 
18

 
The Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor shall be addressed to the Debtor and the Mortgagee.  Counsel shall deliver successive Opinions of Counsel in respect of (i)(y) the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) every five-year period thereafter through the term of the Bonds, and/or (ii) the date of any required Continuation Action not covered by clause “(i),” in each case not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which a Continuation Action is required to be taken.  In the Opinion of Counsel to the Debtor, counsel shall opine as to: (i) what Continuation Actions are necessary; and (ii) the deadline dates for the required Continuation Actions; and (iii) the jurisdictions in which the Continuation Actions must be effected.  Counsel in such opinion shall additionally opine that, upon performance of the Continuation Actions by, as the case may be, (i) the Mortgagee with instruments and papers prepared by the Debtor, or (ii) the Debtor through electronic filing, or (iii) the Mortgagee as to some Continuation Actions, and the Debtor as to the others through electronic filings, all appropriate steps shall have been taken on the part of the Debtor and the Mortgagee then requisite to the maintenance of the perfection of the security interest of the Mortgagee in and to all property and interests which by the terms of this Mortgage are to be subjected to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage.
 
(d)           Any filings with respect to the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements may be made electronically, and the Debtor (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Mortgagee) shall have the right to designate a company to facilitate the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.
 
(e)           All costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the effecting of the requirements specified in this Section shall be paid by the Debtor.
 
(f)           The Debtor agrees to perform all other acts (including the payment of all fees and expenses) necessary in order to enable the Mortgagee to comply with this Section, and with Section 7.07 of the Indenture, including but not limited to, providing prompt notice to the Mortgagee of any change in either of the name or address of the Debtor.  The Debtor agrees that the Mortgagee, if permitted by applicable law, may provide for the re-recording of the Indenture or any other Security Document or the filing or re-filing of continuation statements without the cooperation of the Debtor as necessary at the Debtor’s sole cost and expense.
 
 
19

 
Section 3.8.         After-Acquired Property.  Except as provided in Section 3.4(c) of the Loan Agreement, all right, title and interest of the Debtor in and to all improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutes and replacements of, and all additions, accessions and appurtenances to, the Mortgaged Property (other than trade fixtures), or any part thereof, hereafter acquired, constructed, assembled or placed by or at the direction of the Debtor on or in the Facility (other than trade fixtures), and all conversions and proceeds of the security constituted thereby, immediately upon such acquisition, construction, assembly, placement or conversion, as the case may be, and in each such case without any further mortgage, conveyance or assignment or other act of the Debtor, shall become subject to the security and lien of this Mortgage as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as though now owned by the Debtor and specifically described in the Granting Clauses hereof; but at any and all times the Debtor, on demand, will execute, acknowledge, deliver to the Mortgagee and the Debtor will cause to be recorded or filed as provided in Section 3.8, any and all such further assurances and mortgages, conveyances or assignments thereof as the Mortgagee may reasonably require for the purposes of expressly and specifically subjecting the same to the security and lien of this Mortgage.
 
Section 3.9.         The Ground Lease.  i) The Debtor will promptly pay or cause to be paid all rents, additional rents and other charges as and when the same become due, and diligently perform and observe all terms, covenants and conditions required to be paid, performed and observed by the Debtor as lessee under the Ground Lease, within the period provided in the Ground Lease (provided, however, that the aforesaid covenant of the Debtor shall be deemed to require that all such rents, additional rents and other charges be paid, and all such terms, covenants and conditions be performed and observed, no later than five (5) Business Days in the case of a performance covenant (and no later than three (3) Business Days in the case of a payment obligation) prior to the date that the failure to make such payment or perform and observe such terms, covenants and conditions, would constitute a default under the Ground Lease), and will do all things necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired its rights under the Ground Lease.  The Debtor will furnish the Mortgagee, upon demand, proof of payment of all items which are required to be paid by the Debtor pursuant to the Ground Lease and proof of payment of which is required to be given to the lessor under the Ground Lease.  To the extent that the Ground Lease shall grant to the Debtor, as lessee thereunder, the privilege to postpone or defer the payment of any sum required to be paid thereunder, the failure of the Debtor to pay the same shall not constitute a default hereunder if and so long as the Debtor shall faithfully comply with all of the conditions and other requirements of the Ground Lease with respect to the exercise of such privilege.  The Debtor shall not waive any of its rights under the Ground Lease, or refrain from exercising any right or remedy accorded to it under the Ground Lease on account of any default by the lessor thereunder, or release the lessor from any liability or condone or excuse any improper actions of the lessor thereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the Mortgagee.
 
(b)           No release or forbearance of any of the Debtor’s obligations under the Ground Lease, pursuant to the Ground Lease or otherwise, shall release the Debtor from any of its obligations under this Mortgage, including its obligation with respect to the payment of rent as provided for in the Ground Lease and the performance of all of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Ground Lease to be kept, performed and complied with by the tenant therein.
 
(c)           The Debtor shall not make any election or give any consent or approval (other than the exercise of a renewal right or extension right or other right conferring a benefit on the Debtor, provided that any such action has no adverse effect or consequence to the Issuer, the Mortgagee or the Bondholders or the security for the Bonds) for which a right to do so is conferred upon the Debtor as tenant under the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee if such election, consent or approval would impair the rights of the Mortgagee or the security for the Obligations.  In case of any Event of Default under this Mortgage, all such rights, together with the right of termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease, all of which have been assigned for collateral purposes to the Mortgagee, shall vest in and be exercisable solely by the Mortgagee.
 
 
20

 
(d)           Not more than three hundred sixty (360) and less than two hundred seventy (270) days before the right of the Debtor to exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of the Ground Lease shall expire, the Debtor shall give the Mortgagee written notice specifying the date, term and manner for which such option or renewal is to be exercised.  Within ten (10) days of written demand by the Mortgagee, the Debtor shall exercise any such option or renewal which is necessary to extend the term of the Ground Lease beyond the term of this Mortgage or to comply with any Legal Requirement affecting the Debtor, the Issuer or the Mortgagee, or which is necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee, to preserve the value of the Mortgaged Property intended to be afforded by this Mortgage.  The Debtor shall promptly provide evidence of such exercise of such option or right to the reasonable satisfaction of the Mortgagee.  In the event that the Debtor fails to so exercise any such option or right or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Debtor hereby agrees and grants to the Mortgagee all right and authority to exercise such option in the name of the Debtor or in its own name.  Nothing contained herein shall affect or limit any rights of the Mortgagee under the Ground Lease.
 
(e)           In the event the Debtor shall violate any of the covenants specified in Section 3.9(a) above, then the Mortgagee shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to take any action as the Mortgagee may deem reasonably necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any default of the Debtor under the Ground Lease or any default of the lessor thereunder, it being agreed that upon receipt by the Mortgagee from the lessor under the Ground Lease of any notice of default, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely thereon and take any of the aforesaid action even though the Debtor denies or questions the existence of any such default, and shall have the immediate right to enter all or any portion of the Facility at such times and in such manner as the Mortgagee deems reasonably appropriate in order to prevent or to cure any such default, or any condition which with notice and/or lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default under the Ground Lease.
 
(f)           In the event the Debtor shall violate any of the covenants specified in Section 3.9(a) hereof, then, for the purpose of preventing or curing any default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease, the Mortgagee may (but shall be under no obligation to) do any act or execute any document in the name of the Debtor or as its attorney-in-fact, as well as in the name of the Mortgagee, without waiving or releasing the Debtor from any of its obligations hereunder.  The Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name or otherwise to do any and all acts and to execute any and all documents which in the opinion of the Mortgagee may be reasonably necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any default under the Ground Lease or to preserve any rights of the Debtor in, to or under the Ground Lease, or any Facility Lease, or to preserve any rights of the Debtor whatsoever in respect of any part of the Facility, subject, however, to the provisions of the Ground Lease and Section 5.1.
 
 
21

 
(g)           The Debtor shall, from time to time, use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to obtain from the landlord under the Ground Lease such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by the Debtor with the terms of the Ground Lease as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Mortgagee (but not more often than once in any calendar year except upon reasonable cause).  The curing by the Mortgagee of any default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease shall not remove or waive, as between the Debtor and the Mortgagee, any default which may have occurred hereunder by virtue of the default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease, and all sums expended by the Mortgagee (upon ten (10) days prior written notice by the Mortgagee to the Debtor of its intention to expend such sums, except if in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee an emergency condition exists) in order to cure any such default and costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with the curing of such default shall be paid by the Debtor to the Mortgagee upon demand with interest therein at the annual rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date of advancement until paid, and any such indebtedness shall be deemed to be secured by this Mortgage.
 
(h)           The Debtor shall not, without the prior consent of the Mortgagee, surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or terminate or cancel the Ground Lease, and the Debtor hereby assigns to the Mortgagee, as further security for the payment of the Obligations and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of the Debtor, as tenant under the Ground Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or to terminate or cancel the Ground Lease, and any such surrender of the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or termination or cancellation of the Ground Lease without the prior consent of the Mortgagee shall be void and of no force and effect.
 
(i)           The Debtor shall notify the Mortgagee promptly of (i) the occurrence of any default by the lessor under the Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by the lessor under the Ground Lease, (ii) the receipt by the Debtor of any notice (written or oral) from the lessor under the Ground Lease noting or claiming the occurrence of any default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by the Debtor under the Ground Lease, and deliver to the Mortgagee a true copy of such notice, or (iii) any request made by either party to the Ground Lease for arbitration proceedings pursuant to the Ground Lease and of the institution or commencement of arbitration proceedings thereunder.  The Debtor shall permit the Mortgagee to participate in any arbitration proceedings in association with the Debtor, and if at the time any such arbitration proceedings shall be initiated, an Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, the Mortgagee is hereby granted the right to designate and appoint any arbitrators to be appointed by the Debtor under the Ground Lease.  If any action or proceeding shall be instituted to evict the Debtor or to recover possession of the Facility or any portion thereof or for any other purpose affecting the Ground Lease or this Mortgage, the Debtor shall, immediately upon service thereof on or to the Debtor, deliver to the Mortgagee a true and complete copy of each petition, summons, complaint, notice of motion, order to show cause and of all other provisions, pleadings, and papers, however designated, served in any such action or proceeding.
 
(j)           The Debtor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed modifications of the Ground Lease which the lessor thereunder agrees to make at the request of the Mortgagee necessary for the improving, maintaining or preserving the Mortgagee’s security in the Ground Lease.
 
 
22

 
(k)           The Debtor shall not sell or assign the Ground Lease or any of its rights thereunder or the leasehold estate created thereby or sublease all or any portion of the Facility except in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
 
(l)           The Debtor will promptly perform and observe all the terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by the Debtor as sublessor under the Facility Leases, within the periods provided in the Facility Leases prior to the date that the failure to make such payment or perform and observe such terms, covenants and conditions, would constitute a default under the respective Facility Leases), and will do all things necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired its rights under the Facility Leases.  The Debtor shall not waive any of its rights under the Facility Leases, or refrain from exercising any right or remedy accorded to it as sublessor thereunder on account of an event of default under any Facility Lease, or release any Facility Tenant from liability or condone or excuse any improper act of any Facility Tenant under any Facility Lease, in any case if such action or failure to take action were not effected (in the Debtor’s reasonable judgment) in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Debtor shall not voluntarily terminate a Facility Lease or accept a surrender of any Facility Lease or suffer or permit any termination or surrender of any Facility Lease, in each case prior to the scheduled expiration thereof, except (x) with the prior written consent of the Mortgagee which consent must be given if the Mortgagee is so directed by the Majority Holders (if not so directed, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (y) if the termination or surrender of such Facility Lease will not have a material adverse effect upon Facility Revenues, or (z) if the Debtor’s actions with respect to such Facility Tenant and Facility Lease are taken (in the Debtor’s reasonable judgment) in a good faith commercially reasonable manner.
 
(m)           The Debtor will not (i) modify, amend or supplement any Facility Lease if such modification, amendment or supplement would have a material adverse effect on Facility Revenues (except if such material adverse effect on Facility Revenues is only of a short-term consequence and is not reasonably likely to have a long-term material adverse effect on Facility Revenues), or (ii) require any Facility Tenant to subordinate any Facility Lease to the Lien of any mortgage on the Facility other than Permitted Encumbrances.  The Debtor shall deliver to the Mortgagee, promptly following the execution thereof, a copy of each executed amendment, modification or supplement to a Facility Lease, accompanied by a certificate of an Authorized Representative of the Debtor to the effect that such amendment, modification or supplement was entered into in good faith by the Debtor and was commercially reasonable.
 
(n)           Each Facility Lease entered into by the Debtor must provide that the Facility Lease is subordinate to the Lien of this Mortgage and any extensions, replacements or modifications hereof.
 
(o)           The Mortgagee is hereby granted the right to participate in any dispute with the lessor under the Ground Lease, and the Debtor shall not settle with the lessor under the Ground Lease any insurance or condemnation claim or adjustment in an amount in excess of $500,000 without the consent of the Mortgagee.
 
 
23

 
(p)           If there shall be filed by or against the Debtor a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code, Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), then the Lien of this Mortgage shall attach to all of the Debtor’s rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, including, but not limited to, §365 thereof.  Upon the filing of any petition by or against the Debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall immediately provide copies of all pleadings and notices related thereto to the Mortgagee.  The Debtor unconditionally assigns to the Mortgagee all of the Debtor’s rights to remain in possession of the Mortgaged Property following the filing of any bankruptcy petition by or against the Debtor, and acknowledges that the Mortgagee may file any pleading in furtherance thereof.  This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights, and remedies of the Debtor, and shall continue in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been satisfied and discharged in full.  Furthermore, the Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Mortgagee as the Debtor’s attorney in fact for the purpose of filing any pleading in the court in which the initial petition was filed or any court to which the action thereon may be removed, transferred, or assigned (the “Bankruptcy Court”) that the Mortgagee determines in its sole discretion to protect the Mortgagee’s interests in and to the Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to a motion to extend any applicable time period for the filing of any motion related to the assumption of the Ground Lease.
 
(q)           The Debtor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, file any motion or other pleading to reject or otherwise elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated under §365 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Any such motion, pleading, or election made without such prior written consent shall be void ab initio, and this Mortgage may be pled in bar thereof.  If the Debtor does file such a motion to reject the Ground Lease under §365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, unless the Mortgagee consents in writing to such rejection, the Debtor may not reject the Ground Lease unless the Debtor proves, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the Debtor was “insolvent,” within the meaning of §101 of the Bankruptcy Code, on the petition filing date.  If the Debtor, as tenant under the Ground Lease and as debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, shall desire to reject the Ground Lease pursuant to §365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall give the Mortgagee not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the date on which the Debtor intends to file a motion in or otherwise apply to the Bankruptcy Court for authority to reject the Ground Lease.  In such event, the Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon the Debtor within such thirty (30) day period a notice stating that the Mortgagee demands that the Debtor assume the Ground Lease and assign the Ground Lease to the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s designee pursuant to §365 of the Bankruptcy Code.  If the Mortgagee shall serve upon the Debtor the notice described in the preceding sentence, the Debtor shall not seek to reject the Ground Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in the preceding sentence.
 
(r)           If the Debtor shall desire to assume the Ground Lease, then the Debtor shall give the Mortgagee not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date on which the Debtor intends to file a motion in, or otherwise apply to, the Bankruptcy Court for authority to assume the Ground Lease.  The Debtor shall inform the Mortgagee as a part of such notice whether or not the Debtor intends to assign the Ground Lease following assumption thereof.  The Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon the Debtor within such ten (10) day period a notice stating that the Mortgagee demands that the Debtor assume the Ground Lease and assign the Ground Lease to the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s designee pursuant to §365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such election by the Mortgagee shall be binding upon the Debtor.  Should the Debtor file a motion to assume the Ground Lease, the Mortgagee shall have the sole right to determine what terms and conditions will provide the Mortgagee with “adequate assurance of future performance,” within the meaning of §365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(s)           If there shall be filed by or against the landlord or any fee owner of the Mortgaged Property a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify the Mortgagee thereof in writing.  The Debtor shall promptly deliver to the Mortgagee, following receipt, complete and correct copies of any and all notices, motions, summonses, pleadings, claim forms, applications, and other documents received by the Debtor in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.  In the event of such a bankruptcy filing, the Mortgagee shall have the option, exercisable upon notice from the Mortgagee to the Debtor, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel chosen by the Mortgagee.  If an Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, or if the Mortgagee shall reasonably determine that such actions are necessary to preserve the security of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee may proceed in its own name or in the name of the Debtor in connection with any such litigation, and the Debtor agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents, or other documents required by the Mortgagee in connection therewith.  The Debtor shall not commence any action, suit, proceeding, or case, or file any application or make any motion, seeking to terminate the Ground Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.  The Debtor hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers, and sets over to the Mortgagee all of the Debtor’s claims and rights to the payment of damages or any claim arising from any rejection of the Ground Lease by the landlord or any other fee owner of the Mortgaged Property, or the payment of any amount or claim associated with the Ground Lease in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code.  If an Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, or if the Mortgagee shall reasonably determine that such actions are necessary to preserve the security of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall have the right to proceed in its own name and/or in the name of the Debtor in respect of any claim, suit, action, or proceeding relating to the assumption or rejection of the Ground Lease by the landlord, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion and in the name of the Debtor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices, and other documents, or to defend against any objection thereto, in any case in respect to the landlord or any fee owner of the Mortgaged Property.  This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights, and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been satisfied and discharged in full.  Any amounts received by the Mortgagee as damages arising out of the rejection of the Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of the Mortgagee (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Section.  The Debtor shall promptly make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver, in form and substance satisfactory to the Mortgagee, a UCC Financing Statement (Form UCC 1), and all such additional instruments, agreements and other documents, as may at any time hereafter be required by the Mortgagee to effectuate and carry out the assignment made pursuant to this Section.
 
 
25

 
(t)           If the Debtor shall seek to offset against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the landlord or any fee owner of the Mortgaged Property of any of its obligations under the Ground Lease after the rejection by the landlord or any fee owner of the Mortgaged Property under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify the Mortgagee of its intent to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor.  The Mortgagee shall have the right to object to all or any part of such offset that, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee, would constitute a breach of the Ground Lease, and in the event of such objection, the Debtor shall not effect any offset of the amounts so objected to by the Mortgagee.  Neither the failure of the Mortgagee to object as aforesaid nor any objection relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by the Mortgagee.  The Debtor shall pay and protect the Mortgagee, and indemnify and save the Mortgagee harmless from and against, any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs, and expenses of every nature whatsoever (including without limitation, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses) arising from or relating to any off set by the Debtor against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease.
 
(u)           This Mortgage and the rights of the Mortgagee hereunder shall in all respects be subject and subordinate to the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions set forth in the Ground Lease.
 
Section 3.10.      No Merger of Estates.  So long as any portion of the Obligations shall remain unpaid, unless the Mortgagee shall otherwise consent, the interest of the lessor under the Ground Lease in the Facility and the leasehold estate of the Debtor created in the Facility pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates in the Debtor, or in any other Person by purchase, operation of law or otherwise.  If the Mortgagee shall acquire the interest of the lessor under the Ground Lease in the Facility and the leasehold estate created in the Facility pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease, by foreclosure of this Mortgage or otherwise, such estates shall not merge as a result of such acquisition and shall remain separate and distinct for all purposes after such acquisition unless and until the Mortgagee shall elect to merge such estates.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as authorizing the sale by the Debtor of its leasehold estates under the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.
 
Section 3.11.      Additional Taxes or Charges.  If any law or ordinance is enacted or adopted which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on this Mortgage, the Debtor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.  If at any time the United States of America, any state thereof or any governmental subdivision of any such state, shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to this Mortgage or any of the other Security Documents, the Debtor agrees to pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.  Nothing contained in this Section 3.11 shall obligate the Debtor to indemnify for any income tax liability arising by reason of this Mortgage.
 
Section 3.12.       Notice of Event of Default.  The Debtor shall immediately notify the Mortgagee in writing of any Event of Default or any event which with notice and/or lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default under any Security Document.  Any notice required to be given pursuant to this Section shall be signed by the Debtor and set forth a description of the default and the steps, if any, being taken to cure said default.  If no steps have been taken to cure a default, the notice should plainly state this fact.
 
 
26

 
Section 3.13.      Debtor’s Acquisition of Fee Estate.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.10, in the event that the Debtor, so long as any portion of the Obligations remains unpaid, shall be the owner and holder of the fee title to any leasehold portion of the Mortgaged Property, the lien of this Mortgage shall be spread to cover the Debtor’s fee title to such Mortgaged Property and said fee title shall be deemed to be included in the Mortgaged Property without any further action.  The Debtor agrees, at its sole cost and expense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees of the Mortgagee, to (i) execute any and all documents or instruments necessary to subject its fee title to the Mortgaged Property to the lien of this Mortgage; and (ii) provide a title insurance endorsement which shall insure that the lien of this Mortgage is a third lien on the Debtor’s fee title to the Mortgaged Property.
 
Section 3.14.      Leasehold Condominium.  In the event the Debtor shall subject the premises leased under the Ground Lease to a condominium regime of ownership pursuant to the provisions of Article 9-B of the New York Real Property Law, the Ground Lease and the Loan Agreement, the lien of this Mortgage shall automatically extend to the condominium declaration and by-laws effecting such condominium regime, and to each condominium unit created thereunder.

ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
 
Section 4.1.        Assignment of Leases and Rents.  ii) The Debtor hereby assigns to the Mortgagee all of the right, title and interest of Debtor in any and all Facility Leases (including all related rights, guarantees, amendments, supplements, modifications, renewals and extensions relating thereto) together with (i) all Facility Revenues, including all rents, income, profits, issues, avail, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, funds deposited by any Facility Tenant to pay costs of construction, restoration or repair, and any other awards and settlements arising from such Facility Leases, and all other payments by the Facility Tenants to or owing to Debtor under any such Facility Leases (all such amounts payable by a Facility Tenant under a Facility Lease, being, collectively, the “Facility Lease Payments”), (ii) the rights to sue for, collect and receive such Facility Lease Payments, (iii) all amendments, supplements, modifications, renewals and extensions thereof now existing or hereafter made, (iv) the right to amend, supplement, modify, waive, extend, renew or cancel such Facility Leases, (v) any and all guarantees of any Facility Tenant’s obligations under any such Facility Lease, (vi) the rights of the Debtor to collect, receive, hold and apply all bonds and security in all of said such Facility Leases provided to be furnished to the Debtor thereunder, (vii) the rights of the Debtor to enforce any and all of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions in all of such Facility Leases and to give notices, consents, releases and waivers thereunder, (viii) the right to make all waivers and agreements, (ix) the right to give all notices, consents, releases and other instruments, (x) the right to give all notices of default and to take all action upon the happening of a default under any Facility Lease, including the commencement, conduct and consummation of proceedings as shall be permitted under any provision of any Facility Lease, or by law or in equity, (xi) the right to receive all notices sent to the Debtor, as lessor under any Facility Lease, and (xii) the right to do any and all other things whatsoever which the Debtor or any lessor is or may be entitled to do under any Facility Lease, and to apply the rents, issues and profits, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account of the Obligations.
 
(b)           This assignment and grant shall continue in effect until the Obligations are paid.  The Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter upon and to take possession of the Facility for the purpose of collecting said rents, issues and profits, and the Debtor shall be entitled to collect and receive said rents, issues and profits and to apply same in payment of the amounts becoming due on the Obligations, operating expenses related to the Facility and other expenses (capital or otherwise) consistent with the purposes of the Debtor until the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Debtor will pay monthly in advance to the Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect said rents, issues and profits, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of the Facility or of such part thereof as may be in the possession of the Debtor, and upon default in any such payment will vacate and surrender the possession of the Facility to the Mortgagee or to such receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings.
 
(c)           As long as no default or Event of Default shall exist under the Indenture or under any other Security Document including this assignment, Mortgagee shall permit Debtor
 
(i)           to sue for Facility Lease Payments, and
 
 
28

 
(ii)           to take any action stated in clauses (iii) through (xii) of the paragraph above,
 
provided, however, that Debtor shall only act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.
 
(d)           The Debtor will not, without the written consent of the Mortgagee, receive or collect rent from any tenant of the Facility or any part thereof for a period of more than one month in advance.
 
(e)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Debtor shall not have commenced to cure any default of the Debtor under any of the Facility Leases, nor shall have continued its efforts to effect such cure with good faith and due diligence, the Mortgagee shall have the right, but shall not have the obligation, at the Debtor’s expense, to cure any default by the Debtor under any of the Facility Leases upon at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Debtor, provided, however, that lesser notice shall be required in the event of any emergency situation which, in the Mortgagee’s judgment, may have a material adverse effect on the receipt of the Facility Lease Payments.
 
(f)           The Mortgagee shall not in any way be responsible for any failure to do any or all of the things for which the rights, interests, power and/or authority are herein granted; and the Mortgagee shall not be responsible for or liable under any of the agreements undertaken or obligations imposed upon the lessor under any Facility Lease or other agreements with respect to the Facility, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
(g)           The Mortgagee’s failure to do any of the things or exercise any of the rights, interests, powers and/or authorities granted hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the rights, interests, powers or authorities assigned and granted to the Mortgagee under this Mortgage.
 
(h)           The parties agree that this Mortgage is an actual assignment effective immediately, and that without demand each Facility Tenant or other person liable under or in respect of any Facility Lease shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, pay to or upon the Mortgagee’s order, and without any inquiry of any nature, and upon the declaration by the Mortgagee of an Event of Default hereunder, all Facility Lease Payments then or thereafter accruing under said Facility Leases or any other instrument or agreement, oral or written, granting rights to, and creating an obligation to pay, Facility Lease Payments in connection with the Facility.
 
(i)           All Facility Tenants or occupants of any part of the Facility are hereby authorized to recognize the claims and demands of the Mortgagee upon assertion of an Event of Default, without investigation as to the reason for any action taken by the Mortgagee or the validity or the amount or Obligations owing to the Mortgagee or the application to be made by the Mortgagee, of any amounts to be paid to the Mortgagee.  The Mortgagee’s sole signature shall be sufficient for the exercise of any right under this Mortgage, and the Mortgagee’s sole receipt given for any sums received shall be a full discharge and release therefor to any such Facility Tenant or occupant of the Facility.  Checks for all or any part of the rental collected under this Mortgage shall be made to the exclusive order of the Mortgagee, and, upon written request by the Debtor, the Mortgagee shall fully account to the Debtor as to all such payments received hereunder.
 
 
29

 
(j)           To the extent that the Mortgagee shall exercise the judgment of a reasonable man under like circumstances, the Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Facility Lease, nor shall this Mortgage operate to place upon the Mortgagee any responsibility for the control, operation, management, or repair of the Facility or the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any Facility Lease, nor shall this Mortgage operate to make the Mortgagee liable for any waste committed on the Facility by a Facility Tenant under any Facility Lease or any other Person, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Facility, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Facility, resulting in loss, injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee, invitee or stranger or any property thereof.
 
(k)           The Debtor shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify and hold the Mortgagee harmless of and from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or might incur under any of the Facility Leases or under or by reason of this Mortgage and of and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against it by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Facility Leases, except to the extent of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Mortgagee.  Should the Mortgagee incur any such liability, loss or damage under any of the Facility Leases or under or by reason of this Mortgage, or in the defense of any such claims or demands, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, shall be secured hereby, and the Debtor shall reimburse the Mortgagee therefor immediately upon demand.
 
(l)           The Mortgagee shall not be liable (except to the extent of its gross negligence or willful misconduct) for any loss sustained by the Debtor resulting from the Mortgagee’s failure to let the Facility or any portion thereof after the occurrence of an Event of Default or from any other act or omission of the Mortgagee either in collecting the Facility Lease Payments or, if the Mortgagee shall have taken possession of all or any portion of the Facility, in managing all or any portion of the Facility after any such Event of Default (except that the Mortgagee must exercise the judgment of a reasonable man under like circumstances).  The Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does the Mortgagee hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability of the Debtor under any Facility Lease or under or by reason of this Mortgage, and the Debtor shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Mortgagee for, and to hold the Mortgagee harmless from, any and all liability, loss or damage which may or might be incurred under any Facility Lease or under or by reason of this Mortgage and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against the Mortgagee by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any Facility Lease (collectively, the “Claims”), except to the extent such Claims are a direct result of the Mortgagee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Should the Mortgagee incur any such liability under any Facility Lease or under or by reason of this Mortgage or in defense of any such claims or demands, the Debtor shall reimburse the Mortgagee therefor, including, without limitation, its costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, within five (5) Business Days after demand, and upon the failure of the Debtor to do so, the Mortgagee may, at its option, exercise its remedies under the Indenture or under any other Security Document.  It is further understood that this Mortgage shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of all or any portion of the Facility upon the Mortgagee, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any Facility Lease, nor shall it operate to make the Mortgagee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Facility by any Facility Tenant or any other Person, or for any dangerous or defective condition affecting any portion of the Facility, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Facility resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, invitee, employee, stranger or any other Person.

(m)           The Debtor agrees that it will, at the written request therefor by the Mortgagee, deliver to the Mortgagee an executed counterpart of each (or a certified photocopy thereof) and every Facility Lease then affecting all or any part of the Facility.
 
(n)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, upon or at any time after default in the payment of any of the Obligations, and after the delivery of any notice and/or the expiration of any period of grace, if any, with respect to any such default provided for in the Security Documents, the Mortgagee may, at the Mortgagee’s option, without notice, either in the Mortgagee’s person or by agent and with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by any receiver to be appointed by a court, enter upon, take possession of, and manage and operate the Facility and each and every part thereof, and in connection therewith, the Mortgagee may make, cancel, enforce and modify Facility Leases; fix or modify rents; repair, maintain and improve the Facility; employ contractors, subcontractors and workmen in and about the Facility; obtain and evict tenants; in its own name, sue for or otherwise collect or reserve any and all Facility Lease Payments, including those past due and unpaid; employ leasing agents, managing agents, attorneys and accountants in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgagee’s rights hereunder and pay the reasonable fees and expenses thereof; and otherwise do and perform any and all acts which the Mortgagee may deem necessary and appropriate in and about the Facility for the protection thereof and of the Mortgagee’s rights hereunder or under the other Security Documents, and any and all amounts reasonably expended by the Mortgagee in connection with the foregoing shall constitute so much additional indebtedness secured hereby.  The Mortgagee shall apply any moneys collected by the Mortgagee, as aforesaid, less costs and expenses incurred, as aforesaid, upon any Obligations secured hereby in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.03 of the Indenture.  The entering upon and taking possession of the Facility, the collection of Facility Lease Payments, the exercise of any rights hereinabove specified, and the application of collections, as aforesaid, shall not cure, waiver, modify or otherwise affect any default hereunder or under the other Security Documents.
 
Section 4.2.         No Cancellation or Modification of Facility Leases.  Except as expressly permitted in the Loan Agreement, the Debtor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, make, or suffer to be made, any leases, or cancel or modify any leases or accept prepayments of installments of rent for a period of more than one month in advance or further assign the whole or any part of the rents without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.  No lease or contract covering all or any part of the Mortgaged Property shall be valid or effective without the prior written approval of the Mortgagee.  The Mortgagee shall have all of the rights against lessees of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in Section 291-f of the Real Property Law of New York.  In respect of any lease, the Debtor will (i) fulfill or perform each and every provision thereof on its part to be fulfilled or performed; (ii) promptly send copies of all notices of default which either shall send or receive thereunder to the Mortgagee; and (iii) enforce, short of termination thereof, the performance or observance of the provisions thereof.  Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall be deemed to impose on the Mortgagee any of the obligations of the lessor under the leases.
 
 
31

 
Section 4.3.         Required Facility Lease Provisions.  All Facility Leases must provide that (i) the Facility Tenant shall pay to the Mortgagee upon an Event of Default hereunder all sums due under the Facility Lease upon notice to the Facility Tenant from the Mortgagee, (ii) any Facility Tenant shall, at the Mortgagee’s option, furnish the Mortgagee with an estoppel and attornment letter as to its Facility Lease in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Mortgagee, and (iii) the Facility Lease is expressly subordinated to the Ground Lease, this Mortgage (including any extensions, replacements or modifications hereof) and the other Security Documents.
 
Section 4.4.         Debtor Not to Waive Rents.  The Debtor will not waive, release, reduce, discount or otherwise discharge or assign to any Person other than the Mortgagee the Facility Lease Payments, rents, issues and profits of the Facility.  In addition, the Debtor will observe and comply with all of its respective obligations as lessor under each Facility Lease, will promptly notify the Mortgagee if it receives any default notice thereunder and forward a copy of the default notice to the Mortgagee, and enforce any default thereunder by the Facility Tenant.
 
Section 4.5.         Debtor to Furnish Rent Rolls.  The Debtor will furnish to the Mortgagee, within fifteen (15) Business Days after mailing to the Debtor of a written request therefor, a detailed statement in writing, duly sworn, and covering the period of time specified in such request, showing all income derived from the operation of the Facility and all disbursements made in connection therewith, and containing a list of the names of all tenants of the Facility specified in such request, showing all income derived from the operation of the Facility and occupants other than those claiming possession through such tenants, the portion or portions of the Facility occupied by such tenant and occupant, the rents and other charges payable under the terms of their leases or other agreements, and the periods covered by such leases or other agreements.
 
Section 4.6.         Mortgagee Right to Cure Default.  If Debtor shall not have commenced to cure any default of the Debtor under any of the Facility Leases, nor shall have continued its efforts to effect such cure with good faith and due diligence, the Mortgagee shall have the right, but shall not have the obligation, at the Debtor’s expense, to cure any default by the Debtor under any of the Facility Leases upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to the Debtor, provided, however, that lesser notice shall be required in the event of any emergency situation which in the Mortgagee’s judgment may have any adverse effect on the receipt of the Facility Lease Payments.

Section 6.1.         Protective Action.  The Mortgagee (at the direction of the Majority Holders) may take such action as the Mortgagee deems reasonably appropriate upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Debtor (except that no such prior notice shall be required if in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgagee an emergency condition shall exist that threatens to do severe damage to or destruction of the Facility) to protect the Mortgaged Property or the status or priority of the lien of this Mortgage thereon including, but not limited to, entry upon the Facility to protect it from deterioration or damage, or to cause the Mortgaged Property to be put in compliance with any governmental, insurance rating or contract requirements; dispossession of the Debtor if necessary to remedy an emergency condition; payments of amounts due on liens having priority over this Mortgage if such lien constitutes a default pursuant to this Mortgage; curing any default by the Debtor under any of the Security Documents including this Mortgage; payment of any tax or charge for purposes of assuring the priority or enforceability of this Mortgage if failure to pay such tax by the Debtor is a default pursuant to this Mortgage; obtaining insurance on the Mortgaged Property; or commencement or defense of any legal action or proceeding to assert or protect the validity or priority of the lien of this Mortgage.  The Debtor agrees to reimburse the Mortgagee for all expenses in taking any such action, on demand, with interest at a rate being the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (ii) the highest rate permitted under the applicable usury law, and the amount thereof shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be in addition to the maximum amount of the Obligations heretofore stated.

Section 6.6.        Remedies Following an Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Mortgagee may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it hereunder or elsewhere, take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable, as directed by the Majority Holders, to protect and enforce its rights against the Debtor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as the Mortgagee, as directed by the Majority Holders, may determine, in its sole discretion, subject, however, to the Ground Lease, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of the Mortgagee:

(d)           sell, assign or transfer the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of the Debtor therein and right of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law (provided that ten (10) days notice of sale of the Mortgaged Property shall be deemed reasonable notice) for such price and form of consideration as the Mortgagee may determine or as may be required by law;
 
(e)           institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein;
 
(f)           apply for the appointment of or appoint a trustee, receiver, liquidator or conservator of the Mortgaged Property, without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard for the solvency of any Person liable for the payment of the Obligations whether or not in connection with an action to foreclose this Mortgage;

(h)           without prejudice to its right to bring an action for foreclosure of this Mortgage, sell the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and all estate, right, title and interest, claim and demand therein, and right of redemption thereof, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, including, without limitation, Article 14 of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law of the State of New York and any amendments or substitute statutes in regard thereto, at one or more sales as a single parcel or in parcels, and at such time and place and upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law; or
 
(i)           pursue such other remedies as the Mortgagee may have under applicable law.
 
Further, the Debtor, if there shall occur an Event of Default, shall pay monthly in advance to the Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed at the request of the Mortgagee to collect the rents, revenues, issues, income and profits of the Mortgaged Property, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupancy of the Mortgaged Property or of such part thereof as may be in the possession of the Debtor.  Upon default in the payment thereof, the Debtor shall vacate and surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to the Mortgagee or such receiver, and upon a failure so to do may be evicted by summary proceedings.
 
 
37

 
If an Event of Default shall happen and be subsisting, in case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Debtor under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the property of the Debtor or in the case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Debtor, or to the credits or property of the Debtor, the Mortgagee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount owing and unpaid pursuant to this Mortgage, irrespective of whether the principal of the Obligations or any amount hereunder shall then be due and payable as therein or herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise, and irrespective of whether the Mortgagee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.6 or of Section 8.01 of the Indenture, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Mortgagee allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Debtor, its creditors, or its property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of their charges and expenses; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized to make such payments to the Mortgagee, and to pay to the Mortgagee any amount due it for compensation and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses incurred by it up to the date of such distribution.
 
Section 6.7.        Appointment of a Receiver. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver.  The right to have a receiver appointed shall be a matter of strict right and without regard to the value or adequacy of the security and such receiver may enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, collect the rents, issues and profits therefrom and apply the same as the court may direct, such receiver to have all of the rights and powers as a receiver may have under the laws of the State of New York.  The expenses, including, without limitation, receiver’s fees, counsel fees and expenses, costs and agent’s commissions and compensation incurred pursuant to the powers herein granted shall be added to the principal portion of the Obligations and secured hereby.
 
Section 6.8.        Foreclosure.  In a case of a foreclosure sale or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Mortgaged Property may be sold as an entirety in one parcel (or as one integrated unit) or separate parcels (or one or more of the interests comprising the Mortgaged Property separately from the others) in such manner or order as the Mortgagee in its sole and absolute discretion may elect.  If the Mortgagee so elects it may sell the remainder of the property except for the land, buildings and improvements, at one or more separate sales in the manner provided by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York.  One or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall neither extinguish nor exhaust such powers, until the entire property is sold or the Obligations secured hereby are paid in full or otherwise provided for in accordance with their terms.
 
Section 6.9.        Non-Impairment.  No provision of this Mortgage: (a) is or shall be deemed to be a release or impairment of any of the Obligations including this Mortgage, (b) shall preclude the Mortgagee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, from foreclosing this Mortgage or from enforcing its rights hereunder or under any other instrument governing or securing the Obligations, (c) shall preclude or bar the Mortgagee upon foreclosure from obtaining a deficiency judgment against the Debtor, against any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property who assumes the Obligations on a non-recourse basis, or against any other Person liable for the payment and performance of the Obligations, (d) shall require the Mortgagee to accept a part of the Mortgaged Property (as distinguished from its entirety) as payment of the debt secured hereby, or (e) shall compel the Mortgagee to accept or allow any apportionment of the debt secured hereby to or among any separate parts of the Mortgaged Property.
 
 
38

 
Section 6.10.      No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee hereunder is or shall be deemed to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies.  Each such remedy shall be distinct, separate and cumulative, shall not be deemed to be inconsistent with or in exclusion of any other available remedy, may be exercised in the discretion of the Mortgagee at any time, in any manner, and in any order, and shall be in addition to and separate and distinct from every other remedy given the Mortgagee under this Mortgage or any other Security Document or now or hereafter existing in favor of the Mortgagee at law or in equity or by statute.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Mortgagee shall have the right to exercise any available remedy to recover any amount due and payable hereunder without regard to whether any other amount is due and payable, and without prejudice to the Mortgagee to exercise any available remedy for other Events of Default existing at the time the earlier action was commenced.
 
Section 6.11.      Delay To Not Constitute Waiver.  Any delay, omission or failure by the Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by the Debtor of any of the covenants, conditions and agreements herein set forth to be exercised by it or to exercise any right or remedy available to it upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder shall not impair any such right or remedy or be considered or taken as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the right to insist upon and to enforce, by injunction or other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, strict compliance by the Debtor with all of the covenants, conditions and agreements herein to be exercised by it, or of the right to exercise any such rights or remedies if such default by the Debtor be continued or repeated.  Any failure of the Mortgagee to exercise the option to accelerate the maturity of Obligations secured hereby, or any forbearance by the Mortgagee before or after any exercise of any such option, or any forbearance to exercise any other remedy of the Mortgagee, or any withdrawal or abandonment of the Mortgagee of any of its rights in any one circumstance shall not be construed as a waiver of any option, power, remedy or right of the Mortgagee hereunder.  The rights and remedies of the Mortgagee expressed and contained in this Mortgage are cumulative and none of them shall be deemed to be exclusive of any other or of any right or remedy the Mortgagee may now or hereafter have in law or in equity.  The election of any one or more remedies shall not be deemed to be an election of remedies under any statute, rule, regulation or case law.  The covenants of this Mortgage shall run with the Mortgaged Property and other properties and the estates hereby mortgaged and bind the Debtor and its assigns, legal representatives and successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns.
 
 
39

 
Section 6.12.      Effect of Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case any proceedings taken by the Mortgagee on account of any Event of Default hereunder shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case, the Debtor, the Mortgagee and the Holders of the Bonds shall be restored, respectively, to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies, powers and duties of the Mortgagee shall continue as in effect prior to the commencement of such proceedings.
 
Section 6.13.       Marshalling. The Debtor waives and releases any right to have the Mortgaged Property marshalled.
 
Section 6.14.      Actions and Proceedings.  The Mortgagee shall have 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 which the Mortgagee, in its discretion, determines to be brought to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgagee shall further have the right, from time to time, to sue for any sums required to be paid under the terms of this Mortgage or any other mortgage to which this Mortgage is expressly subordinate, as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the principal sums secured or any other sums secured by this Mortgage shall be due and without prejudice to the right of the Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure or any other action for a default or defaults by the Debtor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
 
Section 6.15.      Attorneys’ Fees and Other Costs.  The Debtor agrees to bear all costs, fees and expenses including court costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) for legal services of or incidental to the enforcement of any provisions hereof (whether incurred during the continuance of an Event of Default or by the Mortgagee or any Holders of the Bonds), or enforcement, compromise or settlement of any of the collateral pledged hereunder, and for the curing thereof, or defending or asserting the rights and claims of the Mortgagee in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, and will pay to the Mortgagee any such expenses incurred, and such expenses shall be deemed part of the Obligations secured by this Mortgage and shall be collectible in like manner as the Obligations secured by this Mortgage, and until so paid shall bear interest at a rate being the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (ii) the highest rate permitted under the applicable usury law.  All rights and remedies of the Mortgagee shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.
 
Section 6.16.      No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver.  In the event any covenant or agreement contained in this Mortgage should be breached by the Debtor and thereafter waived by the Mortgagee, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.  No waiver shall be binding unless it is in writing and signed by the Mortgagee.  No course of dealing between the Debtor and/or any other Person or any delay or omission on the part of the Mortgagee in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver.
 
Section 6.17.      Application of Proceeds. All proceeds derived through the exercise of any remedies or the commencement of any proceedings under this Mortgage shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Indenture.
 
 
40

 
Section 6.18.      Waiver of Moratorium. The Debtor will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any benefit or advantage of any stay or extension or moratorium law, or the exemption from execution from sale of any or all of the property, now or any time hereafter enacted or enforced, nor claim, take or insist upon the benefit of any law now or hereafter enacted or enforced providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof which may be made pursuant to any provisions herein or pursuant to the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after any sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted or enforced to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof.  The Debtor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waives the benefit or advantage of any such law or laws and covenants not to delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted or delegated to the Mortgagee.
 
Section 6.19.      Waiver of Notice.  The Debtor shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from the Mortgagee except with respect to matters for which this Mortgage specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by the Mortgagee to the Debtor, and the Debtor hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from the Mortgagee with respect to any matter for which this Mortgage does not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of such notice.

ARTICLE VIII
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
Section 8.1.         Applicability of Section 13 of the Lien Law.  This Mortgage is given in order to secure funds to pay for the Project and by reason thereof, it is intended that this Mortgage shall be superior to any laborers’, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens which may be placed upon the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the recordation hereof.  The Debtor shall, therefore, in compliance with Section 13 of the New York Lien Law, 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 the Improvements and shall apply the same first to the payment of the cost of the Improvements before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.
 
Section 8.2.         No Merger.  It is the intention of this Mortgage that if the Mortgagee shall at any time hereafter acquire title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or any interest therein or lien thereon under any other mortgage or instrument, then, and until the Obligations have been paid in full or otherwise discharged or satisfied in accordance with their terms, the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder and the security interest created by this Mortgage shall not merge or become merged in or with the estate and interest of the Mortgagee as the holder and owner of title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or in or with the interest of the Mortgagee under or the lien of such other mortgage or instrument, and that, until such payment, discharge or satisfaction, the estate of the Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property and the security interest created by this Mortgage and the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder shall continue in full force and effect to the same extent as if the Mortgagee had not acquired title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any other interest therein or lien thereon.  If, however, the Mortgagee shall consent to such merger or if such merger shall nevertheless occur without its consent, then this Mortgage shall attach to, and cover and be a conveyance of the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the Mortgaged Property acquired by the Debtor, and the same shall be considered as granted, released, assigned, transferred, pledged, conveyed and set over to the Mortgagee and this Mortgage spread to cover such estate with the same force and effect as though specifically herein granted, released, assigned, transferred, pledged, conveyed, set over and spread, provided, however, the Debtor shall pay any and all transfer, recording or other taxes in connection therewith.
 
Section 8.3.        This Mortgage Constitutes A Commercial Transaction.  THE DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE TRANSACTION OF WHICH THIS MORTGAGE IS A PART IS A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION, AND HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ITS RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND HEARING AS ALLOWED UNDER ANY STATE OR FEDERAL LAW OR OTHER RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR OTHER RIGHT WHICH THE MORTGAGEE MAY DESIRE TO USE.  FURTHER, THE DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BENEFITS OF ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE VALUATION, APPRAISEMENT, HOMESTEAD, EXEMPTION, STAY, REDEMPTION AND MORATORIUM LAWS.
 
 
43

 
Section 8.4.         Consents. Wherever in this Mortgage the prior consent of the Mortgagee is required, the consent of the Mortgagee given as to one such transaction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require such consent to future or successive transactions.  Any such consents shall be in writing.
 
Section 8.5.        Service of Process.  The Debtor represents that it is subject to service of process in the State and covenants that it will remain so subject until all obligations, covenants and agreements of the Debtor under this Mortgage shall be satisfied and met.  If for any reason the Debtor should cease to be so subject to service of process in the State, the Debtor hereby irrevocably consents to the service of all process, pleadings, notices or other papers in any judicial proceeding or action by designating and appointing General Counsel, at Acadia Realty Trust, 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605, as its agent upon whom may be served all process, pleadings, notices or other papers which may be served upon the Debtor as a result of any of its obligations under this Mortgage.  If such appointed agent shall cease to act or otherwise cease to be subject to service of process in the State, the Debtor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Secretary of State of the State of New York as its agent upon whom may be served all process, pleadings, notices or other papers which may be served upon the Debtor as a result of any of its obligations under this Mortgage; provided, however, that the service of such process, pleadings, notices or other papers shall not constitute a condition to the Debtor’s obligations hereunder.
 
For such time as any of the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Debtor under this Mortgage remain unsatisfied, the Debtor’s agent(s) designated in this Section 8.5 shall accept and acknowledge on the Debtor’s behalf each service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.  The Debtor agrees and consents that each such service of process upon such agents and written notice of such service to the Debtor in the manner set forth in Section 8.6 shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the Debtor whether or not the Debtor shall then be doing, or at any time shall have done, business within the State and that each such service of process shall be of the same force and validity as if service were made upon the Debtor according to the laws governing the validity and requirements of such service in the State, and waive all claim of error by reason of any such service.
 
Such agents shall not have any power or authority to enter into any appearance or to file any pleadings in connection with any suit, action or other legal proceedings against the Debtor or to conduct the defense of any such suit, action or any other legal proceeding except as expressly authorized by the Debtor.
 
Section 8.6.         Notices.

Section 2.1.         Obligor Representations and Warranties.  The Obligor does hereby represent and warrant as follows:
 
(a)           The Obligor is a limited liability company duly organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, is duly qualified to do business and in good standing under the laws of the State, is not in violation of any provision of its Organizational Documents, has the requisite power and authority to own its property and assets, to carry on its business as now being conducted by it and to execute, deliver and perform this Pledge and Security Agreement and each other Security Document or Project Document to which it is or shall be a party.
 
(b)           The execution, delivery and performance of this Pledge and Security Agreement and each other Security Document or Project Document to which the Obligor is or shall be a party and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not (x) violate any provision of law, any order of any court or agency of government, or any of the Organizational Documents of the Obligor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Obligor is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound or to which it or any of its property is subject, (y) be in conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice and/or lapse of time) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument, or (z) result in the imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever other than Permitted Encumbrances.
 
(c)           There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the best of the Obligor’s knowledge, after diligent inquiry, threatened by or against the Obligor by or before any court or administrative agency that would adversely affect the ability of the Obligor to perform its obligations under this Pledge and Security Agreement or any other Security Document or Project Document to which it is a party.  Such knowledge is based upon the knowledge of Robert Masters, a Senior Vice President of the Parent, and a person employed by the Parent with actual knowledge of the Project and of the matters set forth in this paragraph.
 
(d)           The Obligor has obtained all authorizations, consents and approvals of governmental bodies or agencies required to be obtained by the Obligor as of the Closing Date in connection with the execution and delivery of this Pledge and Security Agreement and each other Security Document or Project Document to which the Obligor is a party or in connection with the performance of the obligations of the Obligor hereunder and under each of the Security Documents or Project Documents.
 
(e)           This Pledge and Security Agreement and each other Security Document or Project Document to which the Obligor is a party (x) have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Obligor, (y) have been duly executed and delivered by the Obligor, and (z) constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Obligor, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the limitations on enforceability resulting from bankruptcy, insolvency and principles of equity.

(f)           There exists no indebtedness for money borrowed or representing the deferred purchase price of property of the Obligor which is secured by a Lien on the Pledged Collateral, other than Permitted Encumbrances.
 
(g)           The Obligor has not granted, and has no knowledge of, any other Lien in the Pledged Collateral, other than Permitted Encumbrances.  The Obligor has not described the Pledged Collateral in any New York Uniform Commercial Code financing statement currently in effect except in connection with the pledge made by the Mortgage and by this Pledge and Security Agreement.
 
(h)           This Pledge and Security Agreement creates a pledge and security interest in the Pledged Collateral in favor of the Trustee as security for payment of the Obligations and is not prohibited by, and does not constitute a default under, any agreements constituting a part of the Pledged Collateral and no consent is required of any Person to effect such pledge and security interest.  The pledge and security interest in the Pledged Collateral and the proceeds thereof will be perfected upon the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statement to the extent it can be perfected by filing.  By the Closing Date, the Obligor will have taken all action necessary to file all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements describing such of the Pledged Collateral as may be perfected by such filings, and for so long as any Obligations are unpaid, the Obligor will file, continue, and amend all such financing statements as may be necessary to establish and maintain such priority in each jurisdiction in which the Obligor is organized or the Pledged Collateral may be located or that may otherwise be applicable pursuant to Sections 9.301-9.316 of the Uniform Commercial Code of such jurisdiction. Under the laws of the State, the security interest hereby granted to secure the Obligations is and shall be prior to any judicial lien hereafter imposed on the Pledged Collateral to enforce a judgment against the Obligor on a simple contract, and the Obligor shall not hereafter make or suffer to exist any pledge or assignment of, Lien on, or security interest in the Pledged Collateral, or file any financing statement describing any such pledge, assignment, Lien, or security interest, except as expressly permitted hereby.

The Obligor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
 
Section 4.1.         No Liens. The Obligor is, and as to Pledged Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the Closing Date, the Obligor will be, the owner of all Pledged Collateral free from any Liens (other than Liens created hereby and other Permitted Encumbrances); and the Obligor shall defend the Pledged Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein, in any case, inconsistent with the foregoing warranty of the Obligor.  The Obligor shall not hereafter make or suffer to exist any pledge or assignment of, Lien on, or security interest in, the Pledged Collateral except as expressly permitted by the Security Documents.

Section 4.3.         Chief Executive Office.  The place of business and the chief executive office of the Obligor (as either of such terms is used in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the Closing Date in the State of New York) is and will be located at 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605.  The Obligor shall not establish any new location for such office until the Obligor shall have taken such action as, in the Opinion of Counsel to the Obligor, is necessary to maintain the perfection of the security interest of the Trustee in the Pledged Collateral which is granted hereby.
 
Section 4.4.         Delivery of Records.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if requested by the Trustee, the Obligor shall deliver to the Trustee all such tangible evidence of the Receivables and Contract Rights that constitute Pledged Collateral (including, without limitation, originals or copies, of all documents evidencing the same) as are then in the possession of, or in the books and records of, the Obligor.
 
Section 4.5.         Direction to Account Debtors; Contracting Parties, etc. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Obligor shall (a) cause all payments that constitute Pledged Collateral and all proceeds of any Pledged Collateral or other payments payable to the Obligor under or in respect of the Pledged Collateral to be made directly to the Trustee or its designee, and (b) notify (and the Obligor agrees that the Trustee may, at its option, notify) the Account Debtors and other obligors with respect to any of the foregoing to make payments with respect thereto as provided in the preceding clause (a).  Without notice to or assent by the Obligor, the Trustee may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) enforce any Receivable or Contract that constitutes Pledged Collateral against the other party or parties thereto on behalf of the Obligor, and (ii) collect all payments on account of the Receivables and the Contracts that constitute Pledged Collateral and collect and/or enforce all other payments payable to the Obligor under or in respect of the Pledged Collateral.  The Obligor hereby authorizes and directs any party to any Receivable or Contract that constitutes Pledged Collateral and any obligor with respect to payments payable to the Obligor under or in respect of the Pledged Collateral to comply with any notice given by the Trustee and to recognize any action taken by the Trustee, in each case, in accordance with this Section 4.5.
 
 
15

 
Section 4.6.         Filing of Financing Statements.  b)  The Obligor will join the Trustee in authenticating and delivering or approving one or more financing statements pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code or other notices appropriate under applicable law in form satisfactory to the Trustee and will pay all filing or recording costs with respect thereto and all costs relating to the continuation of the perfection of the Liens and security interests of the Trustee, and all costs of filing such statements with respect to this Pledge and Security Agreement or any other instrument, agreement or document executed and delivered pursuant hereto in all public offices where filing or recording is deemed by the Trustee to be necessary to perfect the security interest created hereunder.  The Obligor hereby authorizes the Trustee to take all action (including, without limitation, the filing of any Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements or amendments thereto without the signature of the Obligor) which the Trustee may deem necessary to perfect or otherwise protect the Liens and security interests created hereunder and to obtain the benefits of this Pledge and Security Agreement.  All costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with subjecting and continuing the Pledged Collateral to the Lien of this Pledge and Security Agreement shall be paid by the Obligor.
 
(b)           The Trustee and the Obligor acknowledge that, as of the Closing Date,
 
(i)           Section 9-515(b) of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions provides that an initial financing statement filed in connection with a “public-financed transaction” is effective for a period of 30 years after the date of filing if such initial financing statement indicates that it is filed in connection with a public financed transaction,
 
(ii)           Section 9-102(67) of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions defines a public-finance transaction as a secured transaction in connection with which, in substance, (x) bonds are issued, (y) all or a portion of the bonds have an initial stated maturity of at least 20 years, and (z) the debtor, obligor, secured party or assignee with respect to the collateral or secured obligation is a governmental unit of a state, and
 
(iii)           subject to any future change in law, the initial financing statement as shall be filed with respect to the security interest described above shall therefore have an effective period of thirty (30) years after the date of filing, for the purpose of determining the date by which continuation statements shall be filed.
 
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, because the foregoing financing statements evidence collateral in connection with the Bonds, and because the Bonds are municipal securities with a term that is greater than 20 years in duration, there is no need under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York to re-file such financing statements in order to preserve the Liens and security interests that they create for the period commencing with the Closing Date and terminating on the thirtieth anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the above-quoted provisions of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code - Secured Transactions, the Obligor shall confirm on or prior to each fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date whether the financing statements so filed on the Closing Date shall continue to be effective through the thirtieth anniversary of the Closing Date and, if such financing statements shall cease to be effective, the Obligor shall promptly re-file such prior financing statements in order to preserve the Liens and security interests above-stated through the thirtieth anniversary of the Closing Date.

(d)           The Opinion of Counsel to the Obligor shall be addressed to the Obligor and the Trustee.  Counsel shall deliver successive Opinions of Counsel in respect of (i)(y) the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) every five-year period thereafter through the term of the Bonds, and/or (ii) the date of any required Continuation Action not covered by clause “(i),” in each case not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which a Continuation Action is required to be taken.  In the Opinion of Counsel to the Obligor, counsel shall opine as to: (i) what Continuation Actions are necessary; and (ii) the deadline dates for the required Continuation Actions; and (iii) the jurisdictions in which the Continuation Actions must be effected.  Counsel in such opinion shall additionally opine that, upon performance of the Continuation Actions by, as the case may be, (i) the Trustee with instruments and papers prepared by the Obligor, or (ii) the Obligor through electronic filing, or (iii) the Trustee as to some Continuation Actions, and the Obligor as to the others through electronic filings, all appropriate steps shall have been taken on the part of the Obligor and the Trustee then requisite to the maintenance of the perfection of the security interest of the Trustee in and to all property and interests which by the terms of this Pledge and Security Agreement are to be subjected to the Lien and security interest of this Pledge and Security Agreement.
 
 
17

 
(e)           Any filings with respect to the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements may be made electronically, and the Trustee shall have the right to designate a company (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) to facilitate the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
 
Section 5.1.         Events of Default. An “Event of Default” shall exist if any of the following occurs and is continuing:
 
(a)           the Obligor fails to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement of this Pledge and Security Agreement and (i) continuance of such default or failure for more than thirty (30) days after written notice of such default or failure has been given to the Obligor by the Trustee, or (ii) if by reason of the nature of such default or failure the same can be remedied, but not within the said thirty (30) days, the Obligor fails to proceed with reasonable diligence after receipt of said notice to cure the same or fails to continue with reasonable diligence its efforts to cure the same;
 
(b)           any warranty, representation or other statement made or given by or on behalf of the Obligor in this Pledge and Security Agreement is false, misleading or incorrect in any material respect as of the date made; or
 
(c)           an Event of Default under the Indenture or under any other Security Document shall occur and be continuing.
 
Upon an Event of Default the Trustee shall have the right to proceed first and directly against the Obligor under this Pledge and Security Agreement without proceeding against or exhausting any other remedies which it may have and without resorting to any security held by the Trustee or by any obligor under any of the Security Documents.  All moneys recovered by the Trustee pursuant to this Pledge and Security Agreement shall be deposited in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Indenture and used and applied in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Indenture.
 
The Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute any suit or to take any remedial action under this Pledge and Security Agreement, or to enter any appearance or in any way defend in any suit in which it may be made defendant, or to take any steps in the enforcement of any rights and powers under this Pledge and Security Agreement, until it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability (including, without limitation, reasonable compensation for services, costs and expenses, outlays, and counsel fees and other disbursements) not due to its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
Section 5.2.         Remedies; Obtaining the Pledged Collateral Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Trustee, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law or in equity, shall have all rights of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in all relevant jurisdictions, including, without limitation, the right to:
 
(a)           personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take or retake possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, from the Obligor or any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof, and for that purpose may enter upon the Obligor’s premises where any of the Pledged Collateral is located and remove the same and, in connection with such removal, and may use any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of the Obligor;
 
 
20

 
(b)           instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation (including, without limitation, any Contract and any Receivable) constituting Pledged Collateral to render any performance or to make any payment required by the terms of such instrument or agreement directly to the Trustee or its designee;
 
(c)           sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, or direct the Obligor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation; and
 
(d)           take possession of such portions of the Pledged Collateral as may be moveable or any part thereof, by directing the Obligor in writing to deliver the same to the Trustee at any place or places designated by the Trustee, in which event the Obligor shall at its own expense:
 
(i)           forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the Trustee and there delivered to the Trustee,
 
(ii)           store and keep any Pledged Collateral so delivered to the Trustee at such place or places pending further action by the Trustee as provided in Section 5.3, and
 
(iii)           while the Pledged Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain the Pledged Collateral in good condition;
 
(e)           during normal business hours enter upon the property of the Obligor and examine and make copies of the financial books and records of the Obligor relating to the Pledged Collateral and take possession of all Instruments, Chattel Paper, checks or other orders for payment of money and moneys in the possession of the Obligor representing Pledged Collateral or proceeds thereof; provided that the Trustee shall thereafter promptly provide to the Obligor a list of all such items taken;
 
(f)           notify any Account Debtors obligated on any Pledged Collateral to make payments directly to the Trustee and of the amount to be so paid; provided, however, that written notice of such notification shall be mailed to the Obligor five (5) days prior to mailing or otherwise making such notification to Account Debtors and that, immediately upon receipt of such notice, the Obligor shall deliver to the Trustee the name, address and telephone and facsimile numbers and any other contact information for each of its Account Debtors, together with information with respect to its efforts to enforce and collect Pledged Collateral owing from each such Account Debtor, and shall thereupon cease all such efforts; and provided further that until the Obligor shall receive such notice it shall have the full authority and responsibility to enforce, collect and settle Pledged Collateral owing from its Account Debtors;
 
(g)           following the above-mentioned notification to Account Debtors, collect, or, in good faith, compromise, settle, compound or extend amounts payable as Pledged Collateral which are in the form of Accounts Receivable or Contract Rights from the Obligor’s Account Debtors by suit or other means and give a full acquittance therefor and receipt therefor in the name of the Obligor whether or not the full amount of any such Account Receivable or Contract Right owing shall be paid to the Trustee; provided that the Trustee shall, promptly after each such action, provide notice to the Obligor of such action taken in sufficient detail for the Obligor to track and document the Pledged Collateral affected;
 
 
21

 
(h)           by written notice to the Obligor, forbid the Obligor to extend, compromise, compound or settle any Accounts Receivable or Contract Rights which represent any unpaid assigned Pledged Collateral, or release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof (except upon receipt of the full amount due) or to allow any credit or discount thereon; and
 
(i)           by prior written notice to the Obligor, endorse in the name of the Obligor any checks or other orders for the payment of money representing any unpaid assigned Pledged Collateral or the proceeds thereof.
 
It is understood that the Obligor’s obligation so to deliver the moveable Pledged Collateral is of the essence of this Pledge and Security Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Trustee shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by the Obligor of said obligation.
 
Section 5.3.         Remedies; Disposition of the Pledged Collateral.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Indenture, any Pledged Collateral repossessed by or transferred to the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and any other Pledged Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Trustee, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of (at the expense of the Obligor) under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, at public or private sale, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as may be commercially reasonable.  Any of the Pledged Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Trustee or after any overhaul or repair which may be commercially reasonable.  Any such disposition which shall be a private sale shall be made upon not fewer than ten (10) days’ written notice to the Obligor specifying the time at which such disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or other consideration therefor (which notice the Obligor agrees is commercially reasonable).  Any such disposition which shall be a public sale shall be made upon not fewer than ten (10) days written notice to the Obligor specifying the time and place of such sale (which notice the Obligor agrees is commercially reasonable) and, in the absence of applicable requirements of law, shall be by public auction (which may, at the Trustee’s option, be subject to reserve), after publication of notice of such auction not less than ten (10) days prior thereto in one newspaper in general circulation in the City.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee may bid for and become the purchaser of the Pledged Collateral or any item thereof, offered for sale in accordance with this Section 5.3 without accountability to the Obligor (except to the extent provided in Section 5.6).
 
Section 5.4.         Waiver of Claims.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Obligor waives all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law that may prevent or delay the enforcement of this Pledge and Security Agreement or the absolute sale of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof and all benefit of all laws relating thereto.
 
 
22

 
Section 5.5.         Effect of Realization.  Any sale of, or any other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the Obligor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Obligor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Pledged Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under the Obligor.
 
Section 5.6.         Application of Proceeds.  All the proceeds of any Pledged Collateral and any other amounts received or realized by the Trustee by reason of the exercise by the Trustee of any right or remedy with respect to the Pledged Collateral shall be applied in accordance with, and in the manner set forth in, Section 8.03 of the Indenture.  The Obligor shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the aggregate amount so received or realized by the Trustee and the aggregate amount of the Obligations.
 
Section 5.7.        Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver of Remedies.  i) Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Trustee shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given hereunder or under the other Security Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee.  All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others.  No delay or omission of the Trustee in the exercise of any right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy.  In the event that the Trustee shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Trustee may recover reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.
 
(b)           No delay on the part of the Trustee in exercising any of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder, and no partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof.  No notice to or demand on the Obligor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Trustee to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
 
(c)           To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Lien of the Trustee in the Pledged Collateral and the obligations of the Obligor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by, (i) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of, any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this Pledge and Security Agreement or any other Security Document (except as may be otherwise specifically agreed in writing by the Trustee); or (b) any amendment to or modification of any Security Document or any security for any of the Obligations; whether or not the Obligor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.
 
 
23

 
Section 5.8.         Discontinuance of Proceedings.  In case the Trustee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Pledge and Security Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Obligor and the Trustee shall, subject to any binding decision by a court of competent jurisdiction, be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
 
Section 5.9.         Limitation on the Trustee’s Duty in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.  The Trustee shall not have any duty as to any Pledged Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except that the Trustee shall use reasonable care with respect to the Pledged Collateral in its possession or under its control.  Upon request of the Obligor, the Trustee shall account promptly for any moneys received by it in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of the Pledged Collateral.
 
Section 5.10.       Waiver of Notice; Expenses.  The Obligor hereby expressly waives notice from the Trustee or the Holders from time to time of the Bonds of their acceptance and reliance on this Pledge and Security Agreement or of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon.  The Obligor further expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest, any requirement that any right or power be exhausted or any action be taken against the Issuer or the Obligor or against any other obligor under any of the Security Documents or against any Pledged Collateral security for the Bonds.  The Obligor agrees to pay all costs, Trustee’s fees and commissions and expenses (including all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which may be incurred by the Trustee in enforcing or attempting to enforce this Pledge and Security Agreement following any default on the part of the Obligor hereunder, whether the same shall be enforced by suit or otherwise.
 
Section 5.11.       Benefit and Enforcement.  This Pledge and Security Agreement is entered into by the Obligor for the benefit of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders from time to time of the Bonds, all of whom shall be entitled in the same manner as set forth in the Indenture to enforce performance and observance of this Pledge and Security Agreement to the same extent as if all were parties signatory hereto.
 
Section 5.12.       Waiver of Rights of Trustee.  No payment hereunder by the Obligor shall entitle the Obligor by subrogation to the rights of the Trustee to any payment by any other obligor or out of the property of any other obligor, except after payment and performance in full of the Bonds.  The Obligor waives any benefit of, or any right to participation in, any security whatsoever now or hereafter held by the Trustee.
 
 
24

 
Section 5.13.       No Waiver or Set-Off.  No act or commission or omission of any kind or at any time upon the part of the Trustee in respect of any matter whatsoever shall in any way impair the rights of the Trustee to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Pledge and Security Agreement and no set-off, counterclaim, reduction, or diminution of any obligation, or any defense of any kind or nature (other than performance by the Obligor of its obligations hereunder), which the Obligor or any other obligor under any of the Security Documents has or may have against the Trustee or any other Person shall be available hereunder to the Obligor.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
 
Section 6.1.         Service of Process.  The Obligor represents that it is subject to service of process in the State and covenants that it will remain so subject so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied.  If for any reason the Obligor should cease to be so subject to service of process in the State, the Obligor hereby irrevocably consents to the service of all process, pleadings, notices or other papers in any judicial proceeding or action by designating and appointing General Counsel, at Acadia Realty Trust, 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605, as its agent upon whom may be served all process, pleadings, notices or other papers which may be served upon the Obligor as a result of any of its obligations under this Pledge and Security Agreement.  If such appointed agent shall cease to act or otherwise cease to be subject to service of process in the State, the Obligor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Secretary of State of the State of New York as its agent upon whom may be served all process, pleadings, notices or other papers which may be served upon the Obligor as a result of any of its obligations under this Pledge and Security Agreement; provided, however, that the service of such process, pleadings, notices or other papers shall not constitute a condition to any Obligor’s obligations hereunder.
 
For such time as any of the Obligations shall be unpaid in whole or in part, the Obligor’s agents designated in this Section 6.1 shall accept and acknowledge on the Obligor’s behalf each service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.  The Obligor agrees and consents that each such service of process upon such agents and written notice of such service to the Obligor in the manner set forth in Section 6.2 shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the Obligor whether or not the Obligor shall then be doing, or at any time shall have done, business within the State, and that each such service of process shall be of the same force and validity as if service were made upon the Obligor according to the laws governing the validity and requirements of such service in the State, and waive all claim of error by reason of any such service.
 
Such agents shall not have any power or authority to enter into any appearance or to file any pleadings in connection with any suit, action or other legal proceedings against the Obligor or to conduct the defense of any such suit, action or any other legal proceeding except as expressly authorized by the Obligor.

The Issuer, the Trustee and the Obligor may, by like notice, designate any further or different addresses to which subsequent notices, certificates or other communications shall be sent.  Any notice, certificate or other communication hereunder shall, except as may expressly be provided herein, be deemed to have been delivered or given (i) three (3) Business Days following posting if transmitted by mail, (ii) one (1) Business Day following sending if transmitted for overnight delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iii) upon delivery if given by hand delivery, with refusal by an Authorized Representative of the intended recipient party to accept delivery of a notice given as prescribed above to constitute delivery hereunder.
 
Section 6.3.         Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of this Pledge and Security Agreement may be brought in the courts of record of the State in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; (ii) consents to the jurisdiction of each such court in any such suit, action or proceeding; (iii) waives any objection which it may have to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in such courts; and (iv) waives and relinquishes any rights it might otherwise have (w) to move to dismiss on grounds of forum non conveniens, (x) to remove to any federal court other than the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (y) to move for a change of venue to a New York State Court outside New York County.
 
If the Obligor commences any action against the Trustee in a court located other than the courts of record of the State in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the Obligor shall, upon request from the Trustee, either consent to a transfer of the action or proceeding to a court of record of the State in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or, if the court where the action or proceeding is initially brought will not or cannot transfer the action, the Obligor shall consent to dismiss such action without prejudice and may thereafter reinstitute the action in a court of record of the State in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
 
Section 6.4.         Waiver of Trial by Jury.  The Obligor does hereby expressly waive all rights to a trial by jury on any cause of action directly or indirectly involving the terms, covenants or conditions of this Pledge and Security Agreement or any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Pledge and Security Agreement or the Obligations.

(a)           At all times throughout the term of this Bond Guaranty Agreement, including without limitation during any period of construction, reconstruction or substantial renovation of the Facility, the Company shall maintain insurance, or cause there to be maintained insurance, if applicable, with insurance companies licensed to do business in the State, against such risks, loss, damage and liability (including liability to third parties) and for such amounts as are customarily insured against by other enterprises of like size and type as that of the Company.  In addition to this general requirement, such insurance shall, for purposes of subsections (b) through (f) of this Section 3.12, include, without limitation, insurance coverage described in paragraphs (i) through (iv) below (hereinafter, “Specific Coverage”):
 
 
18

 
(i)           (A)           Property damage insurance, and (B) during any period of construction, reconstruction or substantial renovation of the Facility (to the extent not otherwise covered by property damage insurance), Builders’ All Risk Insurance written on “100% builders’ risk completed value, non-reporting form” including coverage therein for “completion and/or premises occupancy” and coverage for property damage insurance, all of which insurance shall include (when necessary) coverage for removal of debris, insuring the buildings, structures, facilities, fixtures and other property constituting a part of the Facility against loss or damage to the Facility by all risk of physical loss at all times in an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to prevent the Issuer, the Company or the Trustee from becoming a co-insurer of any loss under the insurance policies but in any event in amounts equal to the greater of (A) 110% of the actual replacement value of the Facility as determined by a qualified insurance appraiser or insurer (selected by the Company) not less often than once every three years, at the expense of the Company, and (B) the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds; any such insurance may provide that the insurer is not liable to the extent of the first $25,000 with the result that the Company is its own insurer to the extent of $25,000 of such risks;
 
(ii)           Boiler and machine property damage insurance in respect of any steam and pressure boilers and similar apparatus located on the Facility from risks normally insured against under boiler and machinery policies and in amounts and with deductibles customarily obtained for similar business enterprises;
 
(iii)           To the extent the Facility may be located in a flood zone, or if otherwise required by federal law, flood certification or flood insurance, to the extent not covered by property damage insurance, in an amount equal to the greater of the full replacement cost or the maximum amount then available under the National Flood Insurance Program; and
 
(iv)           Such other insurance, including revision of the insurance requirements set forth above, in such amounts and against such insurable hazards as the Trustee (at the specific written direction of the Majority Holders) from time to time may reasonably require; provided, however, that any such other insurance coverage shall be consistent with prevailing practices of other retail projects of like size, nature and location, and such insurance coverage is available for the Facility at commercially reasonable rates.
 
(b)           All Specific Coverage required by Section 3.12(a) shall be procured and maintained in financially sound and generally recognized responsible insurance companies authorized to write such insurance in the State and having an A.M. Best rating of “A” or better.  At least once every two Fiscal Years, the Company agrees to deliver a certificate of an independent insurance consultant to the Trustee which indicates that the insurance then maintained by the Company meets the requirements of this Section 3.12 and Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement.
 
(c)           Each of the policies evidencing the Specific Coverage required above to be obtained shall:
 
 
19

 
(i)           designate the Company and the Trustee as additional insureds as their respective interests may appear;
 
(ii)           provide that all insurance proceeds with respect to loss or damage to the property of the Facility be endorsed and made payable to the Trustee and shall name the Trustee as a loss payee under the standard loss payee clause and as a mortgagee under the terms of a standard mortgagee clause, which insurance proceeds shall, subject to the Ground Lease, be paid over to the Trustee and deposited in the Renewal Fund;
 
(iii)           provide that there shall be no recourse against the Trustee for the payment of premiums or commissions or (if such policies or binders provide for the payment thereof) additional premiums or assessments;
 
(iv)           provide that in respect of the interest of the Trustee in such policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of the Company or any other Person and shall insure the Trustee regardless of, and any losses shall be payable notwithstanding, any such action or inaction;
 
(v)           provide that such insurance shall be primary insurance without any right of contribution from any other insurance carried by the Trustee to the extent that such other insurance provides the Trustee with contingent and/or excess liability insurance with respect to its interest in the Facility;
 
(vi)           provide that if the insurers cancel such insurance for any reason whatsoever, including the insured’s failure to pay any accrued premium, or the same is allowed to lapse or expire, or there be any reduction in amount, or any material change is made in the coverage, such cancellation, lapse, expiration, reduction or change shall not be effective as to the Trustee until at least thirty (30) days, or ten (10) days due to nonpayment of premium, after receipt by the Trustee of written notice by such insurers of such cancellation, lapse, expiration, reduction or change;
 
(vii)           waive any right of subrogation of the insurers thereunder against any Person insured under such policy, and waive any right of the insurers to any setoff or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, in respect of any liability of any Person insured under such policy; and
 
(viii)           contain such other terms and provisions as any owner or operator of facilities similar to the Facility would, in the prudent management of its properties, require to be contained in policies or interim insurance contracts with respect to facilities similar to the Facility owned or operated by it.
 
(d)           Subject to the Ground Lease, the Net Proceeds of any insurance received with respect to any loss or damage to the property of the Facility (except if such Net Proceeds so received for any Loss Event shall be less than $50,000 in which event such Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to the Company and applied by the Company to the rebuilding, replacement, repair and restoration of the Facility with any excess to be retained by the Company) shall be deposited in the Renewal Fund and applied in accordance with Section 5.2 of the Loan Agreement and the Indenture.
 
 
20

 
(e)           The Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the following documents evidencing compliance with the Specific Coverage requirements of this Section 3.12:  (i) on or prior to the Commencement Date:  (A) a broker’s certificate of coverage, upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely in order to confirm compliance with the requirements of this Section 3.12, confirming that the Company, as of the Closing Date, has obtained Specific Coverage in accordance with the requirements of this Section 3.12, and (B) evidence of property insurance and certificates or other evidence of other required insurance and, (ii) as soon as practicable thereafter, duplicate copies of insurance policies and/or binders.  At least seven (7) Business Days prior to the expiration of any such policy, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with evidence that such policy has been renewed or replaced or is no longer required by this Bond Guaranty Agreement.
 
(f)           The Company shall, at its own cost and expense, make all proofs of loss and take all other steps necessary or reasonably requested by the Trustee (upon the specific written direction of the Majority Holders) to collect from insurers for any loss covered by any insurance required to be obtained by this Section 3.12.  The Company shall not do any act, or suffer or permit any act to be done, whereby any Specific Coverage required by this Section 3.12 would or might be suspended or impaired.
 
(g)           THE GUARANTORS EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INSURANCE SPECIFIED HEREIN AND IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT IS NOT IN ANY WAY A REPRESENTATION BY THE ISSUER OR THE TRUSTEE THAT SUCH INSURANCE, WHETHER IN SCOPE OR COVERAGE OR LIMITS OF COVERAGE, IS ADEQUATE OR SUFFICIENT TO PROTECT THE BUSINESS OR INTEREST OF THE COMPANY.

If a Guarantor commences any action against the Trustee in a court located other than the courts of record of the State in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, such Guarantor shall, upon request from the Trustee, either consent to a transfer of the action or proceeding to a court of record of the State in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or, if the court where the action or proceeding is initially brought will not or cannot transfer the action, such Guarantor shall consent to dismiss such action without prejudice and may thereafter reinstitute the action in a court of record of the State in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
 
Section 4.4.        Waiver of Trial by Jury.  The Guarantors do hereby expressly waive all rights to a trial by jury on any cause of action directly or indirectly involving the terms, covenants or conditions of this Bond Guaranty Agreement or any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Bond Guaranty Agreement or the Guaranteed Obligations.

The Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute any suit or to take any remedial action under this Project Completion Guaranty Agreement, or to enter any appearance or in any way defend in any suit in which it may be made a defendant, or to take any steps in the enforcement of any rights and powers under this Project Completion Guaranty Agreement, until it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability (including, without limitation, reasonable compensation for services, costs and expenses, outlays, and counsel fees and expenses and other disbursements) not due to its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 4.1.        Service of Process.  Each Guarantor represents that it is subject to service of process in the State and covenants that it will remain so subject so long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied.  If for any reason any Guarantor should cease to be so subject to service of process in the State, each such Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents to the service of all process, pleadings, notices or other papers in any judicial proceeding or action by designating and appointing General Counsel, at Acadia Realty Trust, 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605, as its agent upon whom may be served all process, pleadings, notices or other papers which may be served upon any Guarantor as a result of any of its obligations under this Project Completion Guaranty Agreement.  If such appointed agent shall cease to act or otherwise cease to be subject to service of process in the State, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Secretary of State of the State of New York as its agent upon whom may be served all process, pleadings, notices or other papers which may be served upon such Guarantor as a result of any of its obligations under this Project Completion Guaranty Agreement; provided, however, that the service of such process, pleadings, notices or other papers shall not constitute a condition to any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
 
For such time as any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be unpaid in whole or in part, the Guarantors’ agents designated in this Section 4.1 shall accept and acknowledge on the Guarantors’ behalf each service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.  The Guarantors agree and consent that each such service of process upon such agents and written notice of such service to the Guarantors in the manner set forth in Section 4.2 shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the Guarantors whether or not the Guarantors shall then be doing, or at any time shall have done, business within the State, and that each such service of process shall be of the same force and validity as if service were made upon the Guarantors according to the laws governing the validity and requirements of such service in the State, and waive all claim of error by reason of any such service.
 
Such agents shall not have any power or authority to enter into any appearance or to file any pleadings in connection with any suit, action or other legal proceedings against the Guarantors or to conduct the defense of any such suit, action or any other legal proceeding except as expressly authorized by the Guarantors.

The Issuer, the Trustee and any Guarantor may, by like notice, designate any further or different addresses to which subsequent notices, certificates or other communications shall be sent.  Any notice, certificate or other communication hereunder shall, except as may expressly be provided herein, be deemed to have been delivered or given (i) three (3) Business Days following posting if transmitted by mail, (ii) one (1) Business Day following sending if transmitted for overnight delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iii) upon delivery if given by hand delivery, with refusal by an Authorized Representative of the intended recipient party to accept delivery of a notice given as prescribed above to constitute delivery hereunder.

If a Guarantor commences any action against the Trustee in a court located other than the courts of record of the State in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, such Guarantor shall, upon request from the Trustee, either consent to a transfer of the action or proceeding to a court of record of the State in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or, if the court where the action or proceeding is initially brought will not or cannot transfer the action, such Guarantor shall consent to dismiss such action without prejudice and may thereafter reinstitute the action in a court of record of the State in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
 
Section 4.4.        Waiver of Trial by Jury.  The Guarantors do hereby expressly waive all rights to a trial by jury on any cause of action directly or indirectly involving the terms, covenants or conditions of this Project Completion Guaranty Agreement or any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Project Completion Guaranty Agreement or the Guaranteed Obligations.
