In the event of any legislative enactment or judicial decision after the date of this Mortgage, imposing upon Mortgagee the obligation to pay any such Imposition, or deducting the lien of this Mortgage from the value of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of taxation, or changing in any way the laws now in force for the taxation of mortgages or debts secured thereby, or the manner, operation or method of collection of any such Imposition, so as to affect the interests of Mortgagee, then, and in such event, Mortgagor shall bear and promptly pay the full amount of such Imposition or any substituted tax; provided , however , that, if for any reason payment thereof by Mortgagor would be unlawful or unenforceable, or if payment thereof by Mortgagor would constitute usury or would render the Loan or the Indebtedness wholly or partially usurious under any of the terms or provisions of the Note or of this Mortgage, or otherwise, Mortgagee may declare the whole sum secured by this Mortgage, with interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable. Mortgagor shall not suffer to exist and shall promptly pay and discharge any mechanic’s, statutory or other lien or encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (hereinafter referred to as “ Liens ”), except for Permitted Encumbrances.

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

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

10


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

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

     1.12 [ Intentionally Omitted ].

 

     1.13 [ Intentionally Omitted ].

 

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

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

11


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

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

     1.16 Assignment of Leases and Rents . (a) As a source of future repayment of the Indebtedness, Mortgagor hereby absolutely and presently assigns to Mortgagee all Rents (hereinafter defined) and hereby collaterally assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor’s rights in and interest as landlord under the Leases (subject to the appointment of Mortgagor as agent for Mortgagee and the license granted to Mortgagor as set forth below); together with the immediate and continuing right to collect and receive all of the Rents now due or which may become due or to which Mortgagor may now or shall hereafter (including the period of redemption, if any) become entitled or may demand or claim, arising or issuing from or out of the Leases or from or out of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.
