Mortgagor has executed and delivered its notes, each dated the date hereof, obligating Mortgagor to pay, in the aggregate, the amount of the loan to be made pursuant to the Loan Agreement, or so much thereof as may be advanced from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, a portion of which up to the Mortgage Amount is secured hereby.

6

NY 50234853v1

Payment of Taxes and Other Charges.

Mortgagor, from time to time when the same shall become due and payable, will pay and discharge all taxes of every kind and nature (including real and personal property taxes and income, franchise, withholding, backup withholding, profits and gross receipts taxes), all general and special assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees, all water and sewer rents and charges, all charges for utilities, and all other charges (public or private) whether of a like or different nature, imposed upon or assessed against it or the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or arising in respect of the occupancy, use or possession thereof. Mortgagor will, upon Mortgagee’s request, deliver to Mortgagee receipts evidencing (to Mortgagee’s reasonable satisfaction) the payment of all such taxes, assessments, levies, fees, rents and other charges imposed upon or assessed against it or the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof.

Upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may, at its option, to be exercised by thirty (30) days’ notice to Mortgagor, require the deposit by Mortgagor, at the time of each payment of an installment of interest or principal under the Note (but no less often than monthly), of an additional amount sufficient to discharge the obligations under this clause (a) when they become due (other than with respect to income, withholding, backup withholding, profits and franchise taxes, similar taxes and taxes and fees in lieu of such taxes). The determination of the amount so payable and of the fractional part thereof to be deposited with Mortgagee, so that the aggregate of such deposits shall be sufficient for this purpose, shall be made by Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion. Such amounts shall be held by Mortgagee without interest and applied to the payment of the obligations in respect of which such amounts were deposited or, at Mortgagee’s option, to the payment of said obligations in such order or priority as Mortgagee shall determine, on or before the respective dates on which the same or any of them would become delinquent. If one (1) month prior to the due date of any of the aforementioned obligations the amounts then on deposit therefor shall be insufficient for the payment of such obligation in full, Mortgagor within ten (10) days after demand shall deposit the amount of the deficiency with Mortgagee. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Mortgagee under any provisions hereof or of any statute or rule of law to pay any such amount and to add the amount so paid, together with interest at the Default Rate, to the indebtedness hereby secured.

Payment of Mechanics and Materialmen.

Mortgagor will pay, from time to time when the same shall become due, all lawful claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers, and others which, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, a lien on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and in general will do or cause to be done everything necessary so that the lien hereof shall be fully preserved, at the cost of Mortgagor and without expense to Mortgagee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mortgagor will discharge, bond over, or have the Title Insurer insure over in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee any mechanic’s lien within thirty (30) days of notice of the same (and in any event prior to the next advance to be made under the Loan Agreement) in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof.

Good Faith Contests.

Nothing in this Section 1.07 shall require the payment or discharge of any obligation imposed upon Mortgagor by this Section so long as Mortgagor shall in good faith and at its own expense contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the collection thereof or other realization thereon and the sale or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof to satisfy the same; provided, however, that (i) during such contest Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagee’s option, provide security reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, assuring the discharge of Mortgagor’s obligation hereunder and of any additional charge, penalty or expense arising from or incurred as a result of such contest, except that in the case of claims described in paragraph (b) of this Section 1.07, Mortgagor shall bond over, or have the Title Insurer insure over in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, any such claim prior to the next advance to be made under the Loan Agreement, and (ii) if at any time payment of any obligation imposed upon Mortgagor by clause (a) above shall become necessary to prevent the delivery of a tax deed or other instrument conveying the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof because of non-payment, then Mortgagor shall pay the same in sufficient time to prevent the delivery of

 

7

NY 50234853v1

such tax deed or other instrument. In the case of claims described in paragraph (b) of this Section 1.07, if Mortgagor shall fail, within sixty (60) days after becoming aware of same, either (i) to discharge or (ii) to contest claims asserted and give security in the manner provided in this paragraph (c), or having commenced to contest the same, and having given such security, shall fail to prosecute such contest with diligence, or to maintain such security for its full amount, or upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, to cause any judgment or decree to be satisfied and lien to be released, then and in any such event, Mortgagee may, at its election (but shall not be required to), procure the release and discharge of any claim and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may in its sole discretion effect any settlement or compromise of the same, and any amounts so expended by Mortgagee, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall constitute advances covered by Section 1.10. In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien, Mortgagee shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lenders shall have no obligation to make disbursements of Loan proceeds under the terms of the Loan Agreement at any time prior to such time as Mortgagor shall have discharged or contested any claims in accordance with this paragraph (c).

Taxes on Mortgagee or Lenders.

Mortgagor will pay any taxes (except income, withholding, backup withholding, branch profits, franchise, similar taxes or taxes and fees in lieu of such taxes) imposed on Mortgagee or any Lender by reason of their interests in the Note or this Mortgage, but only to the extent provided for in the Building Loan Agreement.

Insurance.

Mortgagor will at all times (except as provided herein) provide, maintain and keep in force:

from the time that initial construction begins (soil removal for environmental remediation not to be considered beginning construction) on the new construction, builder’s risk insurance policies insuring the Premises, Improvements and Chattels for not less than 100% of the completed project insurable replacement cost value of the Improvements, which insurance shall be written on a “completed value” form (100% non-reporting) or its equivalent and shall include endorsements providing replacement cost coverage, agreed amount and/or coinsurance waiver, and granting permission to occupy. Such policies shall insure against loss or damage by fire and lightning; against loss or damage by other risks (including acts of terrorism) embraced by coverage of the type now known as “All Risk” or Special Peril property insurance, as is available in the insurance market place as of the closing date, endorsed to provide replacement cost coverage with agreed amount and/or co-insurance waiver, coverage for demolition and increased cost of construction due to the enforcement of laws regulating reconstruction following a loss in amounts not less than $3,000,000 per occurrence, and coverage for flood and earthquake in amounts not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence and in the annual aggregate for each peril; and against such other risks or hazards as Mortgagee from time to time may reasonably designate in an amount sufficient to prevent Mortgagee or Mortgagor from becoming a co-insurer under the terms of the applicable policies, but in any event in an amount not less than 100% of the then full replacement cost of the Improvements (exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor) without deduction for physical depreciation. Such builder’s risk insurance shall also cover: (i) loss of materials, equipment, machinery, and supplies which become part of the completed project whether on-site, in transit, or stored off-site, or loss of any temporary structures, sidewalks, retaining walls, and underground property; and (ii) soft costs including coverage for 100% of the interest expense during the period of the construction and coverage for recurring expenses, including, but not limited to, plans, specifications, blueprints and models, real estate taxes, real estate commissions, advertising, architectural and engineering supervisory costs, legal and accounting costs, and delayed completion business income/rental interruption on an actual loss sustained basis. Mortgagor’s obligation to obtain terrorism coverage pursuant to the above and paragraph (ii), (iii) and (iv) below shall be qualified as follows: If the United States Government sponsored reinsurance backstop under the Terrorist Risk Insurance Act

 

8

NY 50234853v1

is no longer in effect, Mortgagor shall be required to provide terrorism insurance coverage with the respect to the Improvements in the minimum amount equal to the greater of (a) the full insurable replacement cost value of the Improvements and one (1) year lost rents value, or if such terrorism insurance coverage is not commercially available at Commercially Reasonable Terrorism Insurance Rates (as defined below), then in a minimum amount equal to the amount of terrorism insurance coverage which is commercially available at Commercially Reasonable Terrorism Insurance Rates. For purposes herein, “Commercially Reasonable Terrorism Insurance Rates” means, with respect to any amount of terrorism insurance coverage (inclusive of loss to property and lost rents), the rate which Administrative Agent determines to be reasonable; Mortgagor and Administrative Agent acknowledging and agreeing that (1) any annual premium with respect to terrorism insurance coverage which does not exceed one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the total insurable values with respect to loss of property and lost rents shall be deemed reasonable and (2) no inference shall be drawn that premiums in excess of the amount referred to in clause (1) above for terrorism insurance coverage are to be deemed unreasonable;

Property insurance covering any improvements on the Premises, including 100% of the insurable replacement cost value of all tenant improvements and betterments that any Lease (as defined in the Building Loan Agreement) or Premises Document requires Mortgagor to insure, against all risks of loss to the Improvements customarily covered by so-called “Cause of Loss – Special Form” policies as available in the insurance market as of the date of substantial completion of the Improvements (and against such additional risks of loss as may be customarily covered by such policies after such date). Each Cause of Loss – Special Form insurance policy shall cover: (i) 100% of the insurable replacement cost value of the Improvements; (ii) 100% of the insurable replacement cost value of all tenant improvements and betterments that any Lease or Premises Document requires Mortgagor to insure; (iii) loss of the undamaged portion of the Improvements and additional expense of demolition and increased cost of construction, including, without limitation, increased costs that arise from any changes in laws or other legal requirements with respect to such restoration, in an amount as is acceptable to Administrative Agent. Any Cause of Loss – Special Form insurance policy shall contain an agreed amount or a coinsurance waiver endorsement and a replacement cost value endorsement without reduction for depreciation.

The insurance coverage permitted by this paragraph shall include the liability insurance extensions required of the Mortgagor and contractors above.

All policies of insurance required under this Section 1.09 (i) shall be issued by companies having Best’s ratings of A:X or better as published in Best’s latest rating guide that are licensed in the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located (or where the failure to be so licensed does not affect the validity of the policy), (ii) except as provided for above, shall be subject to the approval of Mortgagee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) as to amount, content, form and expiration date, (iii) except for the liability policies described in clauses (a)(vi) through (ix) above, shall contain a Non-Contributory Standard Mortgagee Clause and Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, in favor of Mortgagee, and (iv) shall provide that the proceeds thereof shall be payable to Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall be furnished with the original or duplicate original of each policy required hereunder, which policies shall provide that they shall not lapse, nor be modified to reduce coverage or cancelled, without thirty (30) days’ written notice to Mortgagee, except for non-payment of premium in which case ten (10) days’ notice of cancellation is required. At least five (5) days prior to expiration of any policy required hereunder, Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee appropriate proof of issuance of a policy continuing in force the insurance covered by the policy so expiring. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee, promptly upon request, receipts or other satisfactory evidence of the payment of the premiums on such insurance policies. In the event that Mortgagor does not deposit with Mortgagee a new certificate or policy of insurance at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of any expiring policy and evidence of payment of premiums when due thereon, then Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, and Mortgagor agrees to repay to Mortgagee the premiums thereon promptly on demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all proceeds of any insurance required to be maintained by this Section 1.09 which Mortgagor may be entitled to receive for loss or damage to the Premises, Improvements or Chattels or for soft costs including interest expense. All such insurance proceeds shall be payable to Mortgagee, and Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance company to make payment thereof directly to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall give prompt notice to Mortgagee of any casualty, whether or not of a kind required to be insured against under the policies to be

 

11

NY 50234853v1

provided by Mortgagor hereunder, such notice to generally describe the nature and cause of such casualty and the extent of the damage or destruction. Mortgagor may settle, adjust or compromise any claims for loss, damage or destruction, regardless of whether or not there are insurance proceeds available or whether any such insurance proceeds are sufficient in amount to fully compensate for such loss or damage, subject to Mortgagee’s prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee shall have the right to join Mortgagor in settling, adjusting or compromising any loss of $2,000,000 or more. Mortgagor hereby authorizes the application or release by Mortgagee of any insurance proceeds under any policy of insurance, subject to the other provisions hereof. The application or release by Mortgagee of any insurance proceeds shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.

In the event of the foreclosure hereof or other transfer of the title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the indebtedness secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any insurance policy, or premiums or payments in satisfaction of claims or any other rights thereunder then in force, shall pass to the purchaser or grantee notwithstanding the amount of any bid at such foreclosure sale. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the accrual of interest as provided in the Note on any portion of the principal balance due under the Note until such time as insurance proceeds are actually received and applied to reduce the principal balance outstanding.

Mortgagor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this Section 1.09 unless Mortgagee is included thereon as a named insured with loss payable to Mortgagee under standard mortgage endorsements of the character and to the extent above described. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee the policy or policies of such insurance.

Prior to the subordination of this Mortgage to the Declaration pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Building Loan Agreement, any and all monies received as payment which Mortgagor may be entitled to receive for loss or damage to the Premises, Improvements or Chattels under any insurance maintained pursuant to this Section 1.09 (other than proceeds under the policies required by clause (a)(iii) above, which shall be paid over to Mortgagee and deposited in the Collection Account (as defined in the Lockbox Agreement)), less Mortgagee’s reasonable expenses for collecting and, if applicable, disbursing the insurance proceeds, or otherwise incurred in connection therewith shall be disbursed to Mortgagor for restoration in the same manner and subject to the same terms and conditions as advances of proceeds of the Loan under the Loan Agreement, provided that Mortgagee shall have reasonably determined that the restoration of the Improvements can be completed by the then Maturity Date of the Note at a cost which does not exceed the amount of available insurance proceeds or, in the event that such proceeds are reasonably determined by Mortgagee to be inadequate, Mortgagee shall have received either (x) a cash deposit from Mortgagor equal to the excess of said estimated cost of restoration over the amount of said available proceeds or (y) Guarantor’s agreement, so long as Guarantor is then in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Guaranty (whether or not then in effect), that it shall be unconditionally liable therefor, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Mortgagee and further that the Leases described in Section 4.01(e)(25) of the Building Loan Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of such restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for restoration. If the conditions for the advance of insurance proceeds for restoration set forth in the preceding sentence (the “Restoration Conditions”) are not satisfied within one hundred twenty (120) days of Mortgagee’s receipt thereof or if the actual restoration shall not have been commenced within such period, the Required Lenders shall have the option on not less than thirty (30) days’ notice to apply such insurance proceeds to the payment of the Note and to interest accrued and unpaid thereon in such order and proportions as the Required Lenders may elect, provided, however, that if prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period such restoration commences and the Restoration Conditions are satisfied, the insurance proceeds shall be available for restoration. After this Mortgage is so subordinated to the Declaration, if the Declaration requires that insurance proceeds be applied to restoration, the proceeds shall be so applied and if the terms and conditions set forth in the Declaration for the disbursement from time to time as restoration progresses of said proceeds are inconsistent with terms and conditions for advances of proceeds of the Loan, the terms and provisions of the Declaration shall control. Notwithstanding that the

 

12

NY 50234853v1

Declaration requires that the insurance proceeds be applied for restoration, the Restoration Conditions as between Mortgagor, Lenders and Mortgagee remain conditions to be satisfied by Mortgagor which if not satisfied shall be deemed to constitute an Event of Default and Mortgagee shall have the option of exercising any of the remedies set forth in Article II of this Mortgage. If the Declaration does not require that the insurance proceeds be applied to restoration, the proceeds shall be divided among all condominium unit owners in proportion to their respective percentage interest in the common elements and that portion of the proceeds due to Mortgagor shall be paid over to Mortgagee and the Required Lenders shall have the option at any time thereafter to apply same to the payment of the Note and interest accrued and unpaid thereon in such order and proportions as the Required Lenders may elect.

Protective Advances by Mortgagee.

If Mortgagor shall fail to perform any of the covenants contained herein beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and grace periods, Mortgagee may, after ten (10) days’ notice to Mortgagor of Mortgagee’s intent to make such advance, except in an emergency in which event notice shall not be required, make advances to perform the same on its behalf and all sums so advanced shall be a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and shall be secured hereby. Mortgagor will repay on demand all sums so advanced on its behalf together with interest thereon at the Default Rate. The provisions of this Section shall not prevent any default in the observance of any covenant contained herein from constituting an Event of Default.

Visitation and Inspection.

Mortgagor will permit Mortgagee and any of Lenders, by their agents, representatives and attorneys, to visit and inspect all or any part of the Mortgaged Property on Business Days and at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice, subject to the rights of tenants and Mortgagor’s usual and customary safety requirements. Mortgagor will keep, and cause Guarantor to keep, adequate records and books of account in accordance with GAAP and, subject to applicable securities and other Laws relating to disclosure of material information, including Regulation FD, will permit, and cause Guarantor to permit, Mortgagee and any of Lenders, by their agents, accountants and attorneys, to examine its and Guarantor’s records and books of account and make copies thereof or extracts therefrom, and to discuss its or Guarantor’s affairs, finances and accounts with the officers or general partners, as the case may be, of Mortgagor or Guarantor, at such reasonable times as may be requested by Mortgagee or any of Lenders, as the case may be.

Estoppel Certificates.

Mortgagor, within five (5) business days of receipt of a written request, will furnish a statement, duly acknowledged, of the amount due whether for principal or interest on the Loan and whether to its knowledge any offsets, counterclaims or defenses exist against the indebtedness secured hereby, but no more than twice in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the existence of any Event of Default, there shall be no limit on the number of any such requests by Mortgagee.

Maintenance of Premises and Improvements.

Mortgagor will not commit any waste on the Premises from and after completion of construction or make any change in the use of the Premises which will in any way increase any ordinary fire or other hazard arising out of construction or operation. Mortgagor will, at all times, maintain the Improvements and Chattels in good operating order and condition and will promptly make, from time to time, all repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements in connection therewith which are needful or desirable to such end. The Improvements shall not be demolished or substantially altered, nor shall any Chattels be removed without Mortgagee’s prior consent except where appropriate replacements free of superior title, liens and claims are immediately made of value at least equal to the value of the removed Chattels or except where the same is obsolete or no longer necessary for the Property.

 

13

NY 50234853v1

Condemnation.

Mortgagor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution or pending institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Premises or any portion thereof, will notify Mortgagee thereof. If the amount of the award or compensation is reasonably estimated to be in excess of $500,000, Mortgagee may participate in any such proceedings and may be represented therein by counsel of its selection. Mortgagor from time to time will deliver to Mortgagee all instruments requested by it to permit or facilitate such participation. In the event of such condemnation proceedings, the award or compensation payable is hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall be under no obligation to question the amount of any such award or compensation and may accept the same in the amount in which the same shall be paid. Prior to the subordination of this Mortgage to the Declaration pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Building Loan Agreement, the proceeds of any award or compensation so received shall be paid over to Mortgagee and deposited in the Collection Account, in any case under this Section, less Mortgagee’s reasonable expenses for collecting and, if applicable, disbursing the award, or otherwise incurred in connection therewith, and disbursed to Mortgagor from time to time for restoration of the Improvements in the same manner and subject to the same terms and conditions as advances of proceeds of the Loan under the Loan Agreement, provided that Mortgagee shall have reasonably determined that the restoration of the Improvements to an economically viable architectural whole can be completed by the then Maturity Date of the Note at a cost which does not exceed the amount of available condemnation award proceeds or, in the event that such proceeds are reasonably determined by Mortgagee to be inadequate, Mortgagee shall have received either (x) from Mortgagor a cash deposit equal to the excess of said estimated cost of restoration over the amount of said available proceeds or (y) Guarantor’s agreement, so long as Guarantor is then in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Guaranty (whether or not then in effect), that it shall be unconditionally liable therefor, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Mortgagee and further that the Leases described in Section 4.01(e)(25) of the Building Loan Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of such restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for restoration. If the conditions for the advance of condemnation award proceeds for restoration set forth in the preceding sentence (the “Condemnation Restoration Conditions”) are not satisfied within one hundred twenty (120) days of Mortgagee’s receipt thereof or if the actual restoration shall not have been commenced within such period, Required Lenders shall have the option on not less than thirty (30) days’ notice to apply such condemnation award proceeds to the payment of the Note and to interest accrued and unpaid thereon (at the rate of interest provided therein regardless of the rate of interest payable on the award by the condemning authority) in such order and proportions as the Required Lenders may elect, provided, however, that if prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period such restoration commences and the Condemnation Restoration Conditions are satisfied, the condemnation proceeds shall be available for restoration. After this Mortgage is so subordinated to the Declaration, if the Declaration requires that condemnation proceeds be applied to restoration, the proceeds shall be so applied and if the terms and conditions set forth in the Declaration for the disbursement from time to time as restoration progresses of said proceeds are inconsistent with terms and conditions for advances of proceeds of the Loan, the terms and provisions of the Declaration shall control. Notwithstanding that the Declaration requires that the condemnation proceeds be applied for restoration, the Condemnation Restoration Conditions as between Mortgagor, Lenders and Mortgagee remain conditions to be satisfied by Mortgagor which if not satisfied shall be deemed to constitute an Event of Default and Mortgagee shall have the option of exercising any of the remedies set forth in Article II of this Mortgage. If the Declaration does not require that the condemnation proceeds be applied to restoration, the proceeds shall be divided among all condominium unit owners in proportion to their respective percentage interest in the common elements and that portion of the proceeds due to Mortgagor shall be paid over to Mortgagee and the Required Lenders shall have the option at any time thereafter to apply same to the payment of the Note and interest accrued and unpaid thereon in such order and proportions as the Required Lenders may elect.

Leases.

Mortgagor will not (i) execute an assignment of the rents or any part thereof from the Premises without Mortgagee’s prior consent, (ii) enter into, or amend or modify, any lease, other than in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Building Loan Agreement, (iii) except where the lessee is in material default thereunder, or where the tenant has the unilateral right to do so under its lease,

 

14

NY 50234853v1

terminate or consent to the cancellation or surrender of any lease of the Premises or of any part thereof, now existing or hereafter to be made, (iv) accept prepayments of any installments of rents to become due under such leases, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance of the lessees thereunder or (v) modify, release or terminate any guaranties of any such lease, except in conjunction with an amendment of such lease entered into in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

Mortgagor will not execute any lease of all or a substantial portion of the Premises except for actual occupancy by the lessee thereunder, and will at all times promptly and faithfully perform, or cause to be performed, in a commercially reasonable manner in all material respects all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in all leases of the Premises or portions thereof now or hereafter existing, on the part of the lessor thereunder to be kept and performed and will at all times, in a commercially reasonable manner, do all things necessary to compel performance by the lessee under each lease of all material obligations, covenants and agreements by such lessee to be performed thereunder. If any of such leases provide for the giving by the lessee of certificates with respect to the status of such leases, Mortgagor shall exercise its right to request such certificates within five (5) days of any demand therefor by Mortgagee, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain same and shall deliver copies thereof to Mortgagee promptly upon receipt, provided the foregoing shall not be requested until the first anniversary hereof or, in the absence of an Event of Default, more frequently than once in any twelve (12) month period thereafter.

Each lease of the Premises, or of any part thereof, hereafter entered into shall provide that, in the event of the enforcement by Mortgagee of the remedies provided for hereby or by law, the lessee thereunder will, upon request of any person succeeding to the interest of Mortgagor as a result of such enforcement, automatically become the lessee of said successor in interest, without change in the terms or other provisions of such lease, provided, however, that said successor in interest shall not be bound by (i) any payment of rent or additional rent for more than one (1) month in advance, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by said lessee of its obligations under said lease or (ii) any amendment or modification of the lease made without the consent of Mortgagee or such successor in interest except to the extent the same are permitted under the Building Loan Agreement. Each lease shall also provide that, (x) the lease is subordinate to this Mortgage, subject to Mortgagee’s obligation to deliver non-disturbance agreements with respect to such lease set forth in the Building Loan Agreement, and (y) upon request by said successor in interest, such lessee shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming such attornment.

Reference is hereby made to Section 291-f of the Real Property Law of the State of New York for the purpose of obtaining for Mortgagee the benefits of said Section in connection herewith.

All tenant security deposits (whether cash or a letter of credit) in respect of the Premises shall be held and applied as contemplated in the Building Loan Agreement.

Premises Documents.

Mortgagor shall (a) use all commercially reasonable efforts to do all things necessary to cause the due compliance and faithful performance in all material respects by the other parties to the Premises Documents of all obligations and agreements by such other parties to be complied with and performed thereunder, (b) not amend, modify or supplement the Premises Documents without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (c) not terminate or consent to the termination of the Premises Documents.

Utilities.

Mortgagor will not, without the prior consent of Mortgagee, sell or contract to sell, or enter into an option to sell, or exchange, assign, convey, transfer possession of (including, without limitation, by lease) or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the utilities, utility commitments or other agreements or rights of any nature relating to the utilities, drainage ditches and/or treatment plants associated with the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor further covenants and agrees that it will take any such action and execute, acknowledge, deliver and record and/or file any and all instruments as may be necessary, desirable or

 

15

NY 50234853v1

proper to keep any existing or future utility commitments covering the Mortgaged Property in a current and valid condition and to keep the existing utility capacity for the Mortgaged Property at or above the level required for the contemplated uses thereof. As used herein, the term “utilities” includes, without limitation, water, gas, electricity and storm and sanitary sewer.

Trust Fund; Lien Laws.

Mortgagor will receive the advances secured hereby and will hold the right to receive such advances as a trust fund to be applied first for the purpose of paying the costs of completing the “Improvements” as defined in the Building Loan Agreement (or, for the purpose of paying the “cost of improvement”, as such quoted term is defined in the New York Lien Law) and will apply the same first to the payment of such costs before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose and will comply with Section 13 of the New York Lien Law. Mortgagor will indemnify and hold Mortgagee and Lenders harmless against any loss or liability, cost or expense, including, without limitation, any judgments, reasonable attorney’s fees, costs of appeal bonds and printing costs, arising out of or relating to any proceeding instituted by any claimant alleging a violation by Mortgagor of any applicable lien law including, without limitation, any section of Article 3-A of the New York Lien Law.

Interest Rate Protection.

Mortgagor agrees that upon request of Mortgagee it shall enter into an assignment of any interest rate protection agreements entered into by Mortgagor (if any), including, without limitation, the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, pursuant to which Mortgagor shall collaterally assign to Mortgagee all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments thereunder (and any related guarantee, if any) and shall deliver to Mortgagee an acknowledgment and agreement (either in such interest rate protection agreement or by separate instrument, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee) of the counterparty to such interest rate protection agreement acknowledging such assignment and agreeing to make any payments payable under or pursuant to such agreement directly to Mortgagee. If Mortgagee receives any payments under such agreement (other than a payment by reason of a Termination Event (as defined in such interest rate protection agreement) or any other payment during the existence of an Event of Default), Mortgagee shall hold and deposit the same in a cash collateral account as additional security for the Loan and the Other Loan and apply the same to interest payable on the next occurring payment date. If Mortgagee receives any payments under any such interest rate protection agreement during the existence of an Event of Default (including, without limitation, any payment by reason of a Termination Event), Mortgagee shall have the right to apply same to any portion of the sums secured hereby in any order it desires. If Mortgagee receives any payment by reason of a Termination Event under any such interest rate protection agreement, for so long as no Event of Default exists, such payment shall be held in a cash collateral account and shall be available in connection with the acquisition of a new interest rate protection agreement.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Events of Default and Certain Remedies.

If one or more of the following Events of Default shall happen, that is to say:

if (i) default shall be made in the payment of any principal under the Note when and as the same becomes due and payable, whether by maturity or by acceleration or otherwise, as herein or in the Note or Loan Agreement provided; or (ii) default shall be made in the payment of any interest under the Note or the Loan Agreement, the administrative fee payable to Mortgagee pursuant to Section 6.19 of the Building Loan Agreement and any fees payable to the Construction Consultant pursuant to the Building Loan Agreement, in any such case, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether as part of any payment or prepayment or otherwise, in each case, as herein or in the Note or Loan Agreement provided, and such default shall have continued for a period of five (5) Business Days; or (iii) default shall be made in the payment of any other sums under the Note or the Loan Agreement, in any such case, when and as the same

if there shall occur a default which is not cured within the applicable grace period or cure period, if any, under any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument covering all or part of the Mortgaged Property regardless of whether any such mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument is prior or subordinate hereto; it being further agreed by Mortgagor that an Event of Default hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default under any such mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument held by Mortgagee; or

if there shall occur a default which is not cured within the applicable grace period or cure period, if any, under any of the Premises Documents; or if any of the Premises Documents is amended, modified, supplemented or terminated without Mortgagee’s prior consent (if required under the Loan Documents); or

if any transfer, sale, conveyance, other disposition, encumbrance or pledge occurs in violation of Section 6.25 of the Building Loan Agreement; or

if, except as contemplated or permitted by the Building Loan Agreement, Mortgagor shall encumber, or agree to encumber, in any manner, either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or any interest or rights therein (including air or development rights) without, in any such case, the prior written consent of the Required Lenders. As used in this clause, “encumber” shall include, without limitation, the placing or permitting the placing of any mortgage, deed of trust, assignment of rents or other security device (Any consent under this clause and the immediately preceding clause by Lender may be granted or denied in each such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and, if consent should be given, any such transfer or encumbrance shall be subject hereto and to any other documents which evidence or secure the Loan, and, if a transfer, any such transferee shall assume all of Mortgagor’s obligations hereunder and thereunder and agree to be bound by all provisions and perform all obligations contained herein and therein; consent to one such transfer or encumbrance shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to future or successive transfers or encumbrances); or

if Mortgagor at any time shall fail to maintain the insurance required by Section 1.09; or

if Mortgagor fails to remain in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 9.03(i) of the Building Loan Agreement; or

if Mortgagor breaches any of its covenants and agreements set forth in Section 1.14(a)(i); or

 

18

NY 50234853v1

if there shall occur a default, including a default in the payment of Additional Interest, by Mortgagor under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, if any, which is not cured within the applicable grace or cure period, if any, provided for therein; or

if Mortgagor fails to complete construction of the Improvements on or before the Completion Date; or

if, in the event the Mortgaged Property fails to receive the benefits of the Industrial and Commercial Incentive Program under New York State Real Property Tax Law, Article 4, Mortgagor fails to reduce the Total Commitment (as defined in the Building Loan Agreement) by the ICIP Reduction Amount (as defined in the Building Loan Agreement) in the manner and when required by Section 6.27 of the Building Loan Agreement;

then and in every such case:

I.    Mortgagee, by notice to Mortgagor, may declare the entire principal of the Note then outstanding (if not then due and payable), and all accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest) and other sums in respect thereof, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the principal of the Note and said accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest) and other sums shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything herein or in the Note or the Loan Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.

II.   Mortgagee personally, or by its agents or attorneys, may enter into and upon all or any part of the Premises, and each and every part thereof, and is hereby given a right and license and appointed Mortgagor’s attorney-in-fact and exclusive agent to do so, and may exclude Mortgagor, its agents and servants wholly therefrom; and having and holding the same, may use, operate, manage and control the Premises and conduct the business thereof, either personally or by its superintendents, managers, agents, servants, attorneys or receivers; and upon every such entry, Mortgagee, at the expense of the Mortgaged Property, from time to time, either by purchase, repairs or construction, may maintain and restore the Mortgaged Property, whereof it shall become possessed as aforesaid, may complete the construction of the Improvements and in the course of such completion may make such changes in the contemplated Improvements as it may deem desirable and may insure the same; and likewise, from time to time, at the expense of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee may make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals and replacements and such useful alterations, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon as to it may deem advisable; and in every such case Mortgagee shall have the right to manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and to carry on the business thereof and exercise all rights and powers of Mortgagor with respect thereto either in the name of Mortgagor or otherwise as it shall deem best; and Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect and receive the Rents and every part thereof, all of which shall for all purposes constitute property of Mortgagor; and in furtherance of such right Mortgagee may collect the rents payable under all leases of the Premises directly from the lessees thereunder upon notice to each such lessee that an Event of Default exists hereunder accompanied by a demand on such lessee for the payment to Mortgagee of all rents due and to become due under its lease, and Mortgagor FOR THE BENEFIT OF MORTGAGEE AND EACH SUCH LESSEE hereby covenants and agrees that the lessee shall be under no duty to question the accuracy of Mortgagee’s statement of default and shall unequivocally be authorized to pay said rents to Mortgagee without regard to the truth of Mortgagee’s statement of default and notwithstanding notices from Mortgagor disputing the existence of an Event of Default such that the payment of rent by the lessee to Mortgagee pursuant to such a demand shall constitute performance in full of the lessee’s obligation under the lease for the payment of rents by the lessee to Mortgagor; and after deducting the expenses of conducting the business thereof and of all maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements and amounts necessary to pay for taxes, assessments, insurance and prior or other proper charges upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Mortgagee and for all attorneys, counsel, agents, clerks, servants and other employees by it engaged and employed, Mortgagee shall apply the moneys arising as

 

19

NY 50234853v1

aforesaid, first, to the payment of the principal of the Note and the interest thereon, when and as the same shall become payable and in such order and proportions as Mortgagee shall elect and second, to the payment of any other sums required to be paid by Mortgagor hereunder or under the Loan Agreement.

III. Mortgagee, with or without entry, personally or by its agents or attorneys, insofar as applicable, may:

(1)  sell the Mortgaged Property to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by law (including, without limitation, in accordance with Article 14 of the New York Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law, regarding which Mortgagor hereby consents and agrees that notices thereunder (including notices of sale) may be given to Mortgagor in any of the manners specified for the giving of notices set forth in Section 3.06), and all estate, right, title and interest, claim and demand therein, and right of redemption thereof, at one (1) or more sales as an entity or in parcels or parts, and at such time and place upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law; or

(2)  institute proceedings for the complete or partial foreclosure hereof; or

(3)  take such steps to protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit or proceeding in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in the Note, the Loan Agreement or herein, or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as Mortgagee shall elect.

Other Matters Concerning Sales.

Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made hereunder or by virtue hereof by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, Mortgagee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.

Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by Mortgagee under or by virtue of this Article II, Mortgagee, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument or instruments conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold. Mortgagee is hereby appointed the true and lawful attorney irrevocable of Mortgagor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Mortgaged Property and rights so sold and for that purpose Mortgagee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, Mortgagor, if requested by Mortgagee, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Mortgagee or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the judgment of Mortgagee, for the purpose, and as may be designated in such request. Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Article II, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Mortgagor.

In the event of any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Article II (whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), the entire principal of, and interest and other sums on, the Note, if not previously due and payable, and all other sums required to be paid by Mortgagor pursuant hereto or to the

 

20

NY 50234853v1

Loan Agreement, immediately thereupon shall, anything in any of said documents to the contrary notwithstanding, become due and payable.

The purchase money, proceeds or avails of any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Article II, together with any other sums which then may be held by Mortgagee hereunder, whether under the provisions of this Article II or otherwise, shall be applied as follows:

First: To the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale, including reasonable compensation to Mortgagee’s agents and counsel, and of any judicial proceedings wherein the same may be made, and of all liabilities, advances and reasonable expenses made or incurred by Mortgagee or Lenders hereunder, and also including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation, all as actually incurred and including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of investigation incurred in appellate proceedings or in any action or participation in, or in connection with, any case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, together with interest at the Default Rate on all advances made by Mortgagee or Lenders, and of all taxes, assessments or other charges, except any taxes, assessments or other charges subject to which the Mortgaged Property shall have been sold.

Second: To the payment of the whole amount then due, owing or unpaid upon the Note for principal and interest, with interest on the unpaid principal at the Default Rate from and after the happening of any Event of Default, in such order and amounts as Mortgagee may elect.

Third: To the payment of any other sums required to be paid by Mortgagor pursuant to any provision hereof or of the Note or the Loan Agreement, including all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Mortgagee hereunder or in connection with the enforcement hereof, together with interest at the Default Rate on all such advances.

Fourth: To the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

Upon any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Article II, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the indebtedness secured hereby the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct hereunder.

Payment of Amounts Due.

In case an Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing, then, upon demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee the whole amount which then shall have become due and payable on the Note, for principal or interest (including Additional Interest) or both, as the case may be, and after the happening of said Event of Default will also pay to Mortgagee interest at the Default Rate on the then unpaid principal of the Note, and the sums required to be paid by Mortgagor pursuant to any provision hereof or of the Loan Agreement, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to Mortgagee’s agents and counsel and any reasonable expenses incurred by Mortgagee hereunder. In the event Mortgagor shall fail forthwith to pay all such amounts upon such demand, Mortgagee shall be entitled and empowered to institute such action or proceedings at law or in equity as may be advised by its counsel for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against Mortgagor and collect, out of the property of Mortgagor wherever situated, as well as out of the Mortgaged Property, in any manner provided by law, moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

 

21

NY 50234853v1

Mortgagee shall be entitled to recover judgment as aforesaid either before, after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of the provisions hereof; and the right of Mortgagee to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any entry or sale hereunder, or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions hereof, or the foreclosure of the lien hereof; and in the event of a sale of the Mortgaged Property, and of the application of the proceeds of sale, as herein provided, to the payment of the debt hereby secured, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of, and to receive all amounts then remaining due and unpaid upon, the Note, and to enforce payment of all other charges, payments and costs due hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Loan, and shall be entitled to recover judgment for any portion of the debt remaining unpaid, with interest at the Default Rate. In case of proceedings against Mortgagor in insolvency or bankruptcy or any proceedings for its reorganization or involving the liquidation of its assets, then Mortgagee shall be entitled to prove the whole amount of principal, interest and other sums due upon the Note to the full amount thereof, and all other payments, charges and costs due hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Loan, without deducting therefrom any proceeds obtained from the sale of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that in no case shall Mortgagee receive a greater amount than such principal and interest and such other payments, charges and costs from the aggregate amount of the proceeds of the sale of the Mortgaged Property and the distribution from the estate of Mortgagor.

No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect in any manner or to any extent, the lien hereof upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before.

Any moneys thus collected by Mortgagee under this Section 2.03 shall be applied by Mortgagee in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of Section 2.02.

Actions; Receivers.

After the happening of any Event of Default and during its continuance, immediately upon the commencement of any action, suit or other legal proceedings by Mortgagee to obtain judgment for the principal of, or interest on, the Note and other sums required to be paid by Mortgagor pursuant to any provision hereof or of the Loan Agreement, or of any other nature in aid of the enforcement of the Note or hereof or of the Loan Agreement, Mortgagor will (a) waive the issuance and service of process and enter its voluntary appearance in such action, suit or proceeding and (b) if required by Mortgagee, consent to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of all or part of the Mortgaged Property and of any or all of the Rents in respect thereof. After the happening of any Event of Default and during its continuance, upon the commencement of any proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage or to enforce the specific performance hereof or in aid thereof or upon the commencement of any other judicial proceeding to enforce any right of Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, if it shall so elect, without the giving of notice to any other party and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of any security for the indebtedness secured hereby, forthwith either before or after declaring the unpaid principal of the Note to be due and payable, to the appointment of such a receiver or receivers.

Mortgagee’s Right to Possession.

Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, liquidator or trustee of Mortgagor, or of any of its property, or of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, Mortgagee shall be entitled to retain possession and control of all property now or hereafter held hereunder.

Remedies Cumulative.

No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute. No delay or omission of

 

22

NY 50234853v1

Mortgagee to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given hereby to Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee. Nothing herein or in the Note or the Loan Agreement shall affect the obligation of Mortgagor to pay the principal of, and interest and other sums on, the Note and the Loan Agreement in the manner and at the time and place therein respectively expressed.

Moratorium Laws; Right of Redemption.

Mortgagor 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, any exemption from execution or sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants and terms of performance hereof, nor claim, take or insist upon any benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force 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 provision herein, or pursuant to the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after any such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof and Mortgagor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but to suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted. Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to the extent that it lawfully may, all right to have the Mortgaged Property marshaled upon any foreclosure hereof.

Mortgagor’s Use and Occupancy after Default.

During the continuance of any Event of Default and pending the exercise by Mortgagee of its right to exclude Mortgagor from all or any part of the Premises, Mortgagor agrees to pay the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupancy of any portion of the Premises which are in its or any of its affiliates’ actual possession for such period and, upon default of any such payment, will vacate and surrender such possession of the Premises to Mortgagee or to a receiver, if any, and in default thereof may be evicted by any summary action or proceeding for the recovery of possession of premises for non-payment of rent, however designated.

Mortgagee’s Rights Concerning Application of Amounts Collected.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may apply, to the extent permitted by law, any amount collected hereunder to principal, interest (including Additional Interest) or any other sum due under the Note or the Loan Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Loan in such order and amounts, and to such obligations, as Mortgagee shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

MISCELLANEOUS

Assignment of Rents.

This Mortgage constitutes a present, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable assignment of all of the Rents now or hereafter accruing, and Mortgagor, without limiting the generality of the Granting Clause hereof, specifically hereby presently, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, transfers and sets over all of the Rents now or hereafter accruing to Mortgagee. The aforesaid assignment shall be effective immediately upon the execution hereof and is not conditioned upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or any other contingency or event, provided, however, that Mortgagee hereby grants to Mortgagor the right and license to collect and receive the Rents as they become due, and not in advance, so long as no Event of Default exists hereunder. Immediately upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, the foregoing right and license shall be automatically terminated and of no further force or effect and, if any such Event

 

23

NY 50234853v1

of Default is cured, as evidenced by a certificate from Mortgagee to such effect, such right and license shall be automatically reinstated. Nothing contained in this Section or elsewhere herein shall be construed to make Mortgagee a mortgagee in possession unless and until Mortgagee actually takes possession of the Mortgaged Property, nor to obligate Mortgagee to take any action or incur any expense or discharge any duty or liability under or in respect of any leases or other agreements relating to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

Security Agreement.

This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Chattels and such other of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property. Mortgagor agrees that it will not terminate or amend any financing statements filed in connection with the Loan without Mortgagee’s prior consent. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to Mortgagee by other applicable law or hereby, Mortgagee shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Chattels and such other personal property as are granted to a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. Upon Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall promptly and at its expense assemble the Chattels and such other personal property and make the same available to Mortgagee at a convenient place acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand, with interest at the Default Rate, any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Mortgagee in protecting its interest in the Chattels and such other personal property and in enforcing its rights with respect thereto. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Chattels and such other personal property sent to Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five (5) days prior to such action shall constitute reasonable notice to Mortgagor. The proceeds of any such sale or disposition, or any part thereof, may be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby in such order and proportions as Mortgagee in its discretion shall deem appropriate.

Application of Certain Payments.

In the event that all or any part of the Mortgaged Property is encumbered by one or more mortgages held by Mortgagee, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Mortgagee to apply any payment received by Mortgagee in respect of any note secured hereby or by any other such mortgage to the payment of such of said notes as Mortgagee shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, and Mortgagee shall have the right to apply any such payment in reduction of principal and/or interest and in such order and amounts as Mortgagee shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion without regard to the priority of the mortgage securing the note so repaid or to contrary directions from Mortgagor or any other party.

Severability.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained herein or in the Note or the Loan Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but this Mortgage shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein, provided, however, that if such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable relates to the payment of any sum under the Note or any other material monetary sum, then Mortgagee may, at the option of the Required Lenders, declare the indebtedness of such specific sums only to be immediately due and payable.

Modifications and Waivers.

No provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally or by any other means except as provided in Section 8.12 of the Building Loan Agreement. Any agreement hereafter made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee relating hereto shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.

 

24

NY 50234853v1

Notices, Etc.

All notices, demands, consents, approvals and statements required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes when presented personally, three (3) days after mailing by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or one (1) day after delivery to a nationally recognized overnight courier service (provided such courier service is instructed to deliver the next Business Day) providing evidence of the date of delivery, if to Mortgagor at (a) its address stated above and (b) Vornado Realty Trust, 888 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Executive Vice President - Capital Markets; if to Mortgagee to the attention of its Real Estate Finance office at its address stated above, or at such other address of which a party shall have notified the party giving such notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

Successors and Assigns.

All of the grants, covenants, terms, provisions and conditions herein shall run with the land and shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of, the respective successors and assigns of Mortgagor and Mortgagee.

Limitation on Interest.

Regardless of any provision contained herein or in any of the other Loan documents, the total liability for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the applicable limits now or hereafter imposed by any applicable state or federal interest rate laws to which Mortgagee and/or Lenders may be subject. If any payments in the nature of interest, fees and other charges made hereunder or under the Note or other Loan documents are held to be in excess of the applicable limits imposed by any such applicable state or federal interest rate laws, it is agreed that any such amount held to be in excess shall be considered payment of principal under the Note and the indebtedness evidenced thereby shall be reduced by such amount in the inverse order of maturity so that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, fees and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by any such applicable state or federal interest rate laws in compliance with the desires of Mortgagor, Mortgagee and Lenders.

Counterparts.

This Mortgage may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original; and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same mortgage.

Substitute Mortgages.

Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall, upon their mutual agreement to do so, execute such documents as may be necessary in order to effectuate the modification hereof, including the execution of substitute mortgages, so as to create two (2) or more liens on the Mortgaged Property in such amounts as may be mutually agreed upon but in no event to exceed, in the aggregate, the Mortgage Amount; in such event, Mortgagor covenants and agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Mortgagee and its counsel in connection with any such modification.

Lenders’ Sale of Interests in Loan.

Mortgagor recognizes that any Lender may sell and transfer interests in the Loan to one or more participants or assignees and that all documentation, financial statements, appraisals and other data, or copies thereof, relevant to Mortgagor, any Guarantor or the Loan, may be exhibited to and retained by any such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee, subject to the confidentiality provision under which the foregoing are delivered to such Person pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

 

25

NY 50234853v1

No Merger of Interests.

Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that ownership hereof and title to the fee and/or leasehold estates in the Premises encumbered hereby shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall not merge in said title but shall continue to be and remain a valid and subsisting lien on said estates in the Premises for the amount secured hereby.

CERTAIN WAIVERS.

MORTGAGOR AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, MORTGAGEE FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF LENDERS HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY FORECLOSURE OR SIMILAR ACTION OR PROCEDURE BROUGHT BY MORTGAGEE OR LENDERS HEREUNDER, ANY AND EVERY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

Satisfaction or Assignment of Mortgage.

Upon payment in full of all sums, and the performance of all obligations, secured hereby in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Mortgage and the other Loan documents, Mortgagee or Lenders, as applicable, shall (i) execute and deliver a satisfaction or release of this Mortgage or, at Mortgagor’s option to be exercised in writing, an assignment hereof, in either case in proper form for recording, (ii) in the case of an assignment of this Mortgage, deliver the Notes, together with an allonge to the assignee in question and (iii) execute and deliver such other instruments of assignment, termination or release (as applicable), including appropriate UCC-3 termination statements, as Mortgagor may reasonably request, to evidence such satisfaction, release or assignment, as applicable. As a condition to any such satisfaction or assignment, Mortgagor covenants and agrees to pay Mortgagee’s reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection therewith. Upon any such satisfaction or assignment, Mortgagee and Lenders shall, automatically and without the need for any further documentation, be absolutely and unconditionally released from any and all claims or liabilities in connection with the Loan. In addition, Mortgagor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Mortgagee and Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims and liabilities arising out of the satisfaction or assignment hereof, such indemnification to survive any such satisfaction or assignment.

Other Liens; Subrogation.

In the event any or all of the proceeds of the indebtedness secured hereby have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness heretofore existing against the Mortgaged Property or to satisfy any indebtedness or obligation secured by a lien or encumbrance of any kind, such proceeds have been advanced by Lenders and/or Mortgagee at Mortgagor’s request, and, to the extent of such funds so used, the indebtedness hereby secured shall be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, liens, titles and interest heretofore existing against the Mortgaged Property to secure the indebtedness or obligation so extinguished, paid, extended or renewed, and the former rights, claims, liens, title and interests, if any, shall not be waived but rather shall be continued in full force and effect and in favor of Lenders and/or Mortgagee, as the case may be, and shall not be merged with the lien and security for the repayment of the indebtedness hereby secured.

Subordination.

The lien of this Mortgage is (a) hereby made subject and subordinate to the lien of any building loan mortgage from Mortgagor to Mortgagee now or hereafter entered into which encumbers the Premises, including, without limitation, the Series I Building Loan Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof from Mortgagor to Mortgagee in the amount of $249,285,000 which is intended to be recorded with the Office of the City Register, Queens County (the “Office”) and that certain Series II Building Loan Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof from Mortgagor to Mortgagee in the amount of up to $2,500,000

 

26

NY 50234853v1

which is intended to be recorded with the Office and (b) hereby made subject and subordinate to the lien of that certain Series I Project Loan Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof from Mortgagor to Mortgagee in the amount of $65,715,000 which is intended to be recorded with the Office and to all amendments, extensions, modifications, renewals and consolidations thereof hereafter entered into.

New York Provisions.

(a) Mortgagor hereby makes the following statement: “This Mortgage does not cover real property principally improved or to be improved by one (1) or more structures containing in the aggregate not more than six (6) residential dwelling units, each having its own separate cooking facilities.” and (b) the covenants and conditions contained herein, other than those included in the New York Statutory Short Form of Mortgage, shall be construed as affording to Mortgagee rights additional to, and not exclusive of, the rights conferred under the provisions of Section 254 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York.
