ARTICLE
2
Representations, Warranties
and Covenants
Section 2.1. Mortgagor represents,
warrants, and covenants as follows:
(a)
Payment and Performance . Mortgagor will make due
and punctual payment of the Secured Indebtedness or shall cause the
same to be due and punctually paid. Mortgagor will
timely and properly perform and comply with all of the covenants,
agreements, and conditions imposed upon it by this Mortgage and
will not permit a default to occur hereunder. Time shall
be of the essence in this Mortgage.
(b)
Title and Permitted Encumbrances . Mortgagor has,
in Mortgagor's own right, and Mortgagor covenants to maintain,
lawful, good and marketable title to its interest in the Ground
Lease and the leasehold estate created thereby together with all
other Property subject to this Mortgage. Mortgagor is
lawfully seized and possessed of the Property and every part
thereof, and has the right to convey its interest in the same, free
and clear of all liens, charges, claims, security interests, and
encumbrances except for (i) the Bank Mortgage; (ii) the matters, if
any, set forth in Schedule B-II of the "marked-up" title commitment
of Title Insurance Company No. ____________ (last revised October
9, 2008), which are Permitted Encumbrances (as hereinafter defined)
only to the extent the same are valid and subsisting and affect the
Property, (iii) the liens and security interests evidenced by this
Mortgage, (iv) the C Parcels Easement and the Parcel B Easement;
(v) statutory liens for real estate taxes and assessments on the
Property which are not yet due and payable without premium or
penalty; (vi) other liens and security interests (if any) in favor
of Mortgagee and (vii) SERA's fee interest in the Premises (the
matters described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv),
(v), (vi) and (vii) being herein called the " Permitted
Encumbrances "). Mortgagor, and Mortgagor's
successors and assigns, will warrant specially and forever defend
title to the Property, subject as aforesaid, to Mortgagee and its
successors and assigns, against the claims and demands of all
persons claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof by,
through or under Mortgagor. Mortgagor will punctually
pay, perform, observe and keep all covenants, obligations and
conditions in or pursuant to any Permitted Encumbrance and will not
modify or permit modification of any Permitted Encumbrance without
the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Inclusion of any
matter as a Permitted Encumbrance does not constitute approval or
waiver by Mortgagee of any existing or future violation or other
breach thereof by Mortgagor, by the Property or
otherwise. If any right or interest of Mortgagee in the
Property or any part thereof shall be endangered or questioned or
shall be attacked directly or indirectly, Mortgagee (whether or not
named as a party to legal proceedings with respect thereto), is
hereby authorized and empowered to take such steps as in its
discretion may be proper for the defense of any such legal
proceedings or the protection of such right or interest of
Mortgagee, including but not limited to the employment of
independent counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and
the compromise or discharge of adverse claims. All
expenditures so made of every kind and character shall be a demand
obligation (which obligation Mortgagor hereby promises to pay)
owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, and Mortgagee shall be subrogated
to all rights of the person receiving such payment.
(c)
Taxes and Other Impositions . Mortgagor will pay,
or cause to be paid, all taxes, assessments and other charges or
levies imposed upon or against or with respect to the Property or
the ownership, use, occupancy or enjoyment of any portion thereof,
or any utility service thereto, as the same become due and payable
without premium or penalty, including but not limited to all real
estate taxes assessed against the Property or any part thereof, and
shall deliver promptly to Mortgagee such evidence of the payment
thereof as Mortgagee may require. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Mortgagor shall not be required to pay any such taxes,
assessments, charges or other levies so long as Mortgagor shall in
good faith, and at its cost and expense, contest the amount or
validity thereof, or take other appropriate action with respect
thereto, in good faith and in an appropriate manner or by
appropriate proceedings; provided that (a) Mortgagor notifies
Mortgagee in advance that Mortgagor intends to initiate such
proceedings, (b) such proceedings operate to prevent the collection
of, or other realization upon, the taxes, assessments, charges or
other levies so contested, (c) there will be no sale, forfeiture or
loss of the Property during the contest, (d) Mortgagee shall not be
subjected to any claim, cost, liability or expense as a result
thereof, and (e) Mortgagor provides assurances satisfactory to
Mortgagee (including, without limitation, the establishment of an
appropriate reserve account with Mortgagee) of its ability to pay
such taxes, assessments, charges and other levies in the event
Mortgagor is unsuccessful in its contest. Each such
contest shall be promptly prosecuted to final conclusion or
settlement, and Mortgagor shall indemnify and save Mortgagee
harmless against all claims, cost, liability or expense as a result
thereof or in connection therewith. Promptly after the
settlement or conclusion of such contest or action, Mortgagor shall
pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed or
imposed or determined to be payable, together with all penalties,
fines, interests, costs and expenses in connection
therewith.
(d)
Insurance . Mortgagor shall obtain and maintain
at Mortgagor's sole expense: (1) mortgagee title insurance
issued to Mortgagee covering the Premises as required by Mortgagee,
without exception for mechanics' liens; (2) property insurance with
respect to all insurable Property, against loss or damage by fire,
lightning, windstorm, explosion, hail, tornado and such additional
hazards as are presently included in "Special Form" (also known as
"all-risk") coverage and against any and all acts of terrorism and
such other insurable hazards as Mortgagee may require, in an amount
not less than 100% of the full replacement cost, including the cost
of debris removal, without deduction for depreciation and
sufficient to prevent Mortgagor and Mortgagee from becoming a
coinsurer, such insurance to be in "builder's risk" completed value
(non-reporting) form during and with respect to any construction on
the Premises; (3) if and to the extent any portion of the
Improvements are, under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (
"FDPA" ), as it may be amended from time to time, in a
Special Flood Hazard Area, within a Flood Zone designated A or V in
a participating community, a flood insurance policy in an amount
required by Mortgagee, but in no event less than the amount
sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable law and the FDPA,
as such requirements may from time to time be in effect; (4)
general liability insurance, on an "occurrence" basis against
claims for "personal injury" liability, including bodily injury,
death or property damage liability,, for the benefit of Mortgagor
and Mortgagee as additional insured; (5) statutory workers'
compensation insurance with respect to any work on or about the
Premises (including employer’s liability insurance, if
required by Mortgagee) covering all the employees of Mortgagor and
any contractor; (6) if there is a general contractor, commercial
general liability insurance, including products and completed
operations coverage, and in other respects similar to that
described in clause 4 above, for the benefit of the general
contractor as named insured and Mortgagor and Mortgagee, as
additional insureds, in addition to statutory workers’
compensation insurance with respect to any work on or about the
Premises (including employee’s liability insurance, if
required by Mortgagee) covering all the employees of the general
contractor and any contractor, and (7); such other insurance on the
Property and endorsements as may from time to time be reasonably
required by Mortgagee (including but not limited to soft cost
coverage, automobile liability insurance, business interruption
insurance or delayed rental insurance, boiler and machinery
insurance, earthquake insurance, wind insurance, sinkhole coverage,
and/or permit to occupy endorsement) and against other insurable
hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured
against in the case of premises similarly situated, due regard
being given to the height, type, construction, location, use and
occupancy of buildings and improvements. All insurance
policies shall be issued and maintained by insurers, in amounts,
with deductibles, limits and retentions, and, and in forms
satisfactory to Mortgagee, and shall require not less than ten (10)
days' prior written notice to Mortgagee of any cancellation for
nonpayment of premiums, and not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Mortgagee of any other cancellation or any
changes of coverage. All insurance companies must be
licensed to do business in the State of New Jersey and must have an
A.M Best Company financial and performance rating of A-:IX or
better. All insurance policies maintained, or caused to
be maintained, by Mortgagor with respect to the Property, except
for public liability insurance, shall provide that each such policy
shall be primary without right of contribution from any other
insurance that may be carried by Mortgagor or Mortgagee and that
all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability,
shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy
covering each insured. If any insurer which has issued a
policy of title, hazard, liability or other insurance required
pursuant to this Mortgage or any other NL Loan Document becomes
insolvent or the subject of any petition, case, proceeding or other
action pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law, bankruptcy, receivership
or similar proceeding or if in Mortgagee's reasonable opinion the
financial responsibility of such insurer is or becomes inadequate,
Mortgagor shall, in each instance promptly upon its discovery
thereof or upon the request of Mortgagee therefor and at
Mortgagor's expense, promptly obtain and deliver to Mortgagee a
like policy (or, if and to the extent permitted by Mortgagee, a
acceptable evidence of insurance) issued by another insurer, which
insurer and policy meet the requirements of this
Mortgage. Without limiting the discretion of Mortgagee
with respect to required endorsements to insurance policies, all
such policies for loss of or damage to the Property shall contain a
standard mortgagee clause (without contribution) naming Mortgagee
as mortgagee with loss proceeds payable to Mortgagee
notwithstanding (i) any act, failure to act or negligence of or
violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in
any such policy by any named or additional insured; (ii) the
occupation or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than
permitted by the terms of any such policy; (iii) any foreclosure or
other action by Mortgagee under the Nl Loan Documents; or (iv) any
change in title to or ownership of the Property or any portion
thereof, such proceeds to be held for application as provided in
the NL Loan Documents. A copy of a satisfactory
certificate of insurance acceptable to Mortgagee shall be delivered
to Mortgagee at the time of execution of this Mortgage, with all
premiums fully paid current, and each renewal or substitute policy
(or certificate of insurance) shall be delivered to Mortgagee, with
all premiums fully paid current, at least ten (10) days before the
termination of the policy it renews or
replaces. Mortgagor shall pay all premiums on policies
required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly
deliver to Mortgagee evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee of the
timely payment thereof. If any loss occurs at any time
when Mortgagor has failed to perform Mortgagor's covenants and
agreements in this paragraph with respect to any insurance payable
because of loss sustained to any part of the Property whether or
not such insurance is required by Mortgagee, Mortgagee shall
nevertheless be entitled to the benefit of all insurance covering
the loss and held by or for Mortgagor, to the same extent as if it
had been made payable to Mortgagee. Upon any foreclosure
hereof or transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of
the whole or any part of the Secured Indebtedness, all of
Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to the insurance
policies referred to in this Section (including unearned premiums)
and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the
purchaser at foreclosure or other such transferee, to the extent
permissible under such policies. Mortgagee shall have
the right (but not the obligation) to make proof of loss for,
settle and adjust any claim under, and receive the proceeds of, all
insurance for loss of or damage to the Property, regardless of
whether or not such insurance policies are required by Mortgagee,
and the expenses incurred by Mortgagee in the adjustment and
collection of insurance proceeds shall be a part of the Secured
Indebtedness and shall be due and payable to Mortgagee on
demand. Mortgagee shall not be, under any circumstances,
liable or responsible for failure to collect or exercise diligence
in the collection of any of such proceeds or for the obtaining,
maintaining or adequacy of any insurance or for failure to see to
the proper application of any amount paid over to
Mortgagor. Any such proceeds received by Mortgagee
shall, after deduction therefrom of all reasonable expenses
actually incurred by Mortgagee, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, at Mortgagee's option be (1) released to Mortgagor, or
(2) applied (upon compliance with such terms and conditions as may
be required by Mortgagee) to repair or restoration, either partly
or entirely, of the Property so damaged, or (3) applied to the
payment of the Secured Indebtedness in such order and manner as
Mortgagee (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), in
its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not due. In
any event, the unpaid portion of the Secured Indebtedness shall
remain in full force and effect and the payment thereof shall not
be excused. Mortgagor shall at all times comply with the
requirements of the insurance policies required hereunder and of
the issuers of such policies and of any board of fire underwriters
or similar body as applicable to or affecting the
Property.
(e)
Reserve for Insurance, Taxes and Assessments
. Upon request of Mortgagee following the occurrence of
any Default, to secure the payment and performance of the Secured
Indebtedness, but not in lieu of such obligations, Mortgagor will
deposit with Mortgagee a sum equal to real estate taxes,
assessments and charges (which charges for the purpose of this
paragraph shall include without limitation any recurring charge
which could result in a lien against the Property) against the
Property for the current year and the premiums for such policies of
insurance for the current year, all as reasonably estimated by
Mortgagee and prorated to the end of the calendar month following
the month during which Mortgagee's request is made, and thereafter
will deposit with Mortgagee, on each date when an installment of
principal and/or interest is due on the Note, sufficient funds (as
estimated from time to time by Mortgagee) to permit Mortgagee to
pay at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date when penalties
would accrue thereon, the next maturing real estate taxes,
assessments and charges and premiums for such policies of
insurance. Mortgagee shall have the right to rely upon
tax information furnished by applicable taxing authorities in the
payment of such taxes or assessments and shall have no obligation
to make any protest of any such taxes or
assessments. Any excess over the amounts required for
such purposes shall be held by Mortgagee for future application to
taxes and assessments or refunded to Mortgagor, at Mortgagee's
option, and any deficiency in such funds so deposited shall be made
up by Mortgagor upon demand of Mortgagee. All such funds
so deposited shall bear no interest, may be commingled with the
general funds of Mortgagee and shall be applied by Mortgagee toward
the payment of such taxes, assessments, charges and premiums when
statements therefor are presented to Mortgagee by Mortgagor (which
statements shall be presented by Mortgagor to Mortgagee a
reasonable time before the applicable amount is due); provided,
however, that, if a Default shall have occurred hereunder, which
remains uncured, such funds may at Mortgagee's option be applied to
the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in the order determined by
Mortgagee in its sole discretion, and that Mortgagee may (but shall
have no obligation) at any time, in its discretion, apply all or
any part of such funds toward the payment of any such taxes,
assessments, charges or premiums which are past due, together with
any penalties or late charges with respect thereto. The
conveyance or transfer of Mortgagor's interest in the Property for
any reason (including without limitation the foreclosure of a
subordinate lien or security interest or a transfer by operation of
law) shall constitute an assignment or transfer of Mortgagor's
interest in and rights to such funds held by Mortgagee under this
paragraph but subject to the rights of Mortgagee
hereunder.
(f)
Condemnation . Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee
immediately of any threatened or pending proceeding for
condemnation affecting the Property or arising out of damage to the
Property, and Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagor's expense, diligently
prosecute any such proceedings. Mortgagee shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to participate in any such
proceeding and to be represented by counsel of its own
choice. Mortgagee shall be entitled to receive all sums
which may be awarded or become payable to Mortgagor for the
condemnation of the Property, or any part thereof, for public or
quasi-public use, or by virtue of private sale in lieu thereof, and
any sums which may be awarded or become payable to Mortgagor for
injury or damage to the Property. Mortgagor shall,
promptly upon written request of Mortgagee, execute such additional
assignments and other documents as may be necessary from time to
time to permit such participation and to enable Mortgagee to
collect and receipt for any such sums. All such sums are
hereby assigned to Mortgagee, and shall, after deduction therefrom
of all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Mortgagee,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, at Mortgagee's option be (1)
released to Mortgagor, or (2) applied (upon compliance with such
reasonable terms and conditions as may be required by Mortgagee) to
repair or restoration of the Property so affected, or (3) applied
to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness in such order and manner
as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not
due. In any event the unpaid portion of the Secured
Indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect and the payment
thereof shall not be excused. Mortgagee shall not be,
under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to
collect or to exercise diligence in the collection of any such sum
or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid
over to Mortgagor. Mortgagee is hereby authorized, in
the name of Mortgagor, to execute and deliver valid acquittances
for, and to appeal from, any such award, judgment or
decree. All reasonable costs and expenses (including but
not limited to attorneys' fees) incurred by Mortgagee in connection
with any condemnation shall be a demand obligation owing by
Mortgagor (which Mortgagor hereby promises to pay) to Mortgagee
pursuant to this Mortgage.
(g)
Compliance with Legal Requirements . The Property
and the use, operation and maintenance thereof and all activities
thereon do and shall at all times comply with all applicable Legal
Requirements (hereinafter defined). Mortgagor shall not,
by act or omission, permit any building or other improvement not
subject to the lien of this Mortgage to rely on the Property or any
interest therein to fulfill any requirement of any Legal
Requirement. No improvement upon or use of any part of
the Property constitutes a nonconforming use under any zoning law
or similar law or ordinance. Mortgagor has obtained and
shall preserve in force all requisite zoning, utility, building,
health, environmental and operating permits from the governmental
authorities having jurisdiction over the Property.
If Mortgagor
receives a written notice or claim from any person that the
Property, or any use, activity, operation or maintenance thereof or
thereon, is not in compliance with any Legal Requirement, Mortgagor
will promptly furnish a copy of such notice or claim to
Mortgagee. As of the date hereof, Mortgagor has received
no notice and has no knowledge of any such
noncompliance. As used in this Mortgage: (i)
the term " Legal Requirement " means any Law (hereinafter
defined), agreement, covenant, restriction, easement or condition
(including, without limitation of the forgoing, any condition or
requirement imposed by an insurance or surety company), as any of
the same now exists or may be changed or amended or come into
effect in the future, including, without limitation the Project
Environmental Agreements; and (ii) the term " Law " means
any federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance, code, rule,
regulation, license, permit, authorization, decision, order,
injunction or decree, domestic or foreign.
(h)
Maintenance, Repair and Restoration . Mortgagor
will keep the Improvements in first class order, repair, operating
condition and appearance, causing all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, additions and improvements to be promptly made, and
will not allow any of the Property to be misused, abused or wasted
or to deteriorate. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee,
(i) remove from the Property any fixtures or personal property
covered by this Mortgage except such as is replaced by Mortgagor by
an article of equal suitability and value, owned by Mortgagor, free
and clear of any lien or security interest (except that created by
this Mortgage), or (ii) make any structural alteration to the
Property or any other alteration thereto which impairs the value
thereof. If any act or occurrence of any kind or nature
(including any condemnation or any casualty for which insurance was
not obtained or obtainable) shall result in damage to or loss or
destruction of the Property, Mortgagor shall give prompt notice
thereof to Mortgagee and, to the extent insurance and/or
condemnation proceeds (if any) shall be made available to Mortgagor
for such purpose pursuant to the terms hereof, Mortgagor shall
promptly, at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense, commence and
continue diligently to completion to restore, repair, replace and
rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition
and character immediately prior to the damage, loss or
destruction.
(i)
No Other Liens . Except for the Bank
Mortgage and the Permitted Exceptions, Mortgagor will not, without
the prior written consent of Mortgagee, create, place or permit to
be created or placed, or through any act or failure to act,
acquiesce in the placing of, or allow to remain, any mortgage,
voluntary or involuntary lien, whether statutory, constitutional or
contractual, security interest, encumbrance or charge, or
conditional sale or other title retention document, against or
covering the Property, or any part thereof, regardless of whether
the same are expressly or otherwise subordinate to the lien or
security interest created in this Mortgage, and should any of the
foregoing become attached hereafter in any manner to any part of
the Property without the prior written consent of Mortgagee,
Mortgagor will cause the same to be promptly discharged and
released. Subject to the terms of the Ground Lease,
Mortgagor will own all parts of the Property and will not acquire
any fixtures, equipment or other property (including software
embedded therein) forming a part of the Property pursuant to a
lease, license, security agreement or similar agreement, whereby
any party has or may obtain the right to repossess or remove same,
without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. If
Mortgagee consents to the voluntary grant by Mortgagor of any
mortgage, lien, security interest, or other encumbrance
(hereinafter called " Subordinate Mortgage ") covering any
of the Property or if the foregoing prohibition is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable as to a
Subordinate Mortgage, any such Subordinate Mortgage shall contain
express covenants to the effect that: (1) the Subordinate Mortgage
is unconditionally subordinate to this Mortgage and all Leases
(hereinafter defined); (2) if any action shall be instituted to
foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Mortgage, no tenant
of any of the Leases (hereinafter defined) shall be named as a
party defendant, and no action shall be taken that would terminate
any occupancy or tenancy without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee; (3) Rents (hereinafter defined), if collected by or for
the Mortgagee of the Subordinate Mortgage, shall be applied first
to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness then due and expenses
incurred in the ownership, operation and maintenance of the
Property in such order as Mortgagee may determine, prior to being
applied to any indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Mortgage;
(4) written notice of default under the Subordinate Mortgage and
written notice of the commencement of any action to foreclose or
otherwise enforce the Subordinate Mortgage or to seek the
appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Property shall
be given to Mortgagee with or immediately after the occurrence of
any such default or commencement; and (5) neither the Mortgagee of
the Subordinate Mortgage, nor any purchaser at foreclosure
thereunder, nor anyone claiming by, through or under any of them
shall succeed to any of Mortgagor's rights hereunder without the
prior written consent of Mortgagee.
(j)
Operation of Property . Mortgagor will operate
the Property in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance
with all Legal Requirements and will pay all fees or charges of any
kind in connection therewith. Upon the completion of the
construction of improvements thereon, Mortgagor will keep the
Property occupied so as not to impair the insurance carried
thereon. Mortgagor will not use or occupy or conduct any
activity on, or allow the use or occupancy of or the conduct of any
activity on, the Property in any manner which violates any Legal
Requirement or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or
which makes void, voidable or cancelable, or increases the premium
of, any insurance then in force with respect
thereto. Mortgagor will not use or permit the use of the
Property in such a manner which would result in such use becoming a
nonconforming use under applicable zoning ordinances or other Legal
Requirement. Mortgagor will not impose any easement
(except utility easements executed by Mortgagor in connection with
the development of the Property), restrictive covenant or
encumbrance upon the Property (except for the Bank Mortgage and the
Permitted Encumbrances), execute or file any subdivision plat or
condominium declaration affecting the Property or consent to the
annexation of the Property to any municipality, without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Mortgagor
will not do or suffer to be done any act whereby the value of any
part of the Property may be lessened. Mortgagor will
preserve, protect, renew, extend and retain all material rights and
privileges granted for or applicable to the
Property. Without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee, there shall be no drilling or exploration for or
extraction, removal or production of any mineral, hydrocarbon, gas,
natural element, compound or substance (including sand and gravel)
from the surface or subsurface of the Land regardless of the depth
thereof or the method of mining or extraction
thereof. Mortgagor will cause all debts and liabilities
of any character (including without limitation all debts and
liabilities for labor, material and equipment and all debts and
charges for utilities servicing the Property) incurred in the
construction, maintenance, operation and development of the
Property to be promptly paid.
(k)
Financial Matters . Mortgagor is solvent after giving effect
to all borrowings contemplated by the Bank Loan Documents and the
NL Loan Documents and no proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law
(hereinafter defined) is pending (or to Mortgagor’s knowledge
threatened) by or against Mortgagor, of any Affiliate of Mortgagor
as debtor. For the purposes of this paragraph, “
Mortgagor ” shall also include any person liable
directly or indirectly for the Secured Indebtedness or any part
thereof and any joint venturer, member or general partner of
Mortgagor.
(l)
Status of Mortgagor; Suits and Claims; NL Loan Documents
. If Mortgagor is a corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, or other legal entity, Mortgagor is and will
continue to be (i) duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its state of organization, (ii)
authorized to do business in, and in good standing in the state in
which the Property is located, and (iii) possessed of all requisite
power and authority to carry on its business and to own and operate
the Property. Each NL Loan Document executed by
Mortgagor has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
Mortgagor, and the obligations thereunder and the performance
thereof by Mortgagor in accordance with their terms are and will
continue to be within Mortgagor's power and authority (without the
necessity of joinder or consent of any other person), are not and
will not be in contravention of any Legal Requirement (subject,
however, to the effect upon enforceability of applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting the rights
of creditors generally and the exercise of judicial discretion in
accordance with general principles of equity) or any other document
or agreement to which Mortgagor or the Property is subject, and do
not and will not result in the creation of any encumbrance against
any assets or properties of Mortgagor, or any other person liable,
directly or indirectly, for any of the Secured Indebtedness, except
as expressly contemplated by the NL Loan
Documents. There is no suit, action, claim,
investigation, inquiry, proceeding or demand pending (or, to
Mortgagor's knowledge, threatened) which affects the Property
(including, without limitation, any which challenges or otherwise
pertains to Mortgagor's title to the Property) or the validity,
enforceability or priority of any of the NL Loan
Documents. There is no judicial or administrative
action, suit or proceeding pending (or, to Mortgagor's knowledge,
threatened) against Mortgagor or against any other person liable
directly or indirectly for the Secured Indebtedness, except as has
been disclosed in writing to Mortgagee in connection with the NL
Loan. The NL Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of Mortgagor enforceable in accordance with
their terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
Debtor Relief Laws (hereinafter defined) and except as the
availability of certain remedies may be limited by general
principles of equity. Mortgagor is not a " foreign
person " within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, Sections 1445 and 7701 (i.e. Mortgagor is
not a non-resident alien, foreign corporation, foreign partnership,
foreign trust or foreign estate as those terms are defined therein
and in any regulations promulgated thereunder). The loan
evidenced by the Note was made solely to acquire or carry on a
business or commercial enterprise, and is not for personal, family,
household or agricultural purposes, and Mortgagor is a business or
commercial organization. Mortgagor further warrants that
the proceeds of the Notes shall be used for commercial purposes and
stipulates that the loans evidenced by the Notes shall be construed
for all purposes as commercial loans. Mortgagor will not
cause or permit any change to be made in its name, identity, or
corporate or partnership structure, unless Mortgagor shall have
notified Mortgagee of such change prior to the effective date of
such change, and shall have first taken all action required by
Mortgagee for the purpose of further perfecting or protecting the
lien and security interest of Mortgagee in the
Property. Mortgagor's principal place of business and
chief executive office, and the place where Mortgagor keeps its
books and records concerning the Property, has for the preceding
four months been and will continue to be (unless Mortgagor notifies
Mortgagee of any change in writing prior to the date of such
change) the address of Mortgagor set forth at the end of this
Mortgage. Mortgagor's organizational identification
number assigned by the state of incorporation or organization is
correctly set forth on the first page of this
Mortgage. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of
any change of its organizational identification number.

request of Mortgagee, (i) correct any defect, error or omission
which may be discovered in the contents, execution or
acknowledgment of this Mortgage or any other NL Loan Document; (ii)
execute, acknowledge, deliver, procure and record and/or file such
further documents (including, without limitation, further
mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, continuation
statements, and assignments of rents or leases) and do such further
acts as may be necessary or proper to carry out more effectively
the purposes of this Mortgage and the other NL Loan Documents, to
more fully identify and subject to the liens and security interests
hereof any property intended to be covered hereby (including
specifically, but without limitation, any renewals, additions,
substitutions, replacements, or appurtenances to the Property) or
as reasonably deemed advisable by Mortgagee to protect the lien or
the security interest hereunder against the rights or interests of
third persons; and (iii) provide such certificates, documents,
reports, information, affidavits and other instruments and do such
further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper in the
reasonable determination of Mortgagee to enable Mortgagee to comply
with the requirements or requests of any agency having jurisdiction
over Mortgagee or any examiners of such agencies with respect to
the indebtedness secured hereby, Mortgagor or the
Property. Mortgagor shall pay all costs connected with
any of the foregoing, which shall be a demand obligation owing by
Mortgagor (which Mortgagor hereby promises to pay) to Mortgagee
pursuant to this Mortgage.
(n)

other provision of this Mortgage or of any other NL Loan Documents
and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Mortgagor will

Loan Documents, and any and all amendments and supplements to this
Mortgage or the NL Note or any approval, consent, waiver, release
or other matter requested or required hereunder or thereunder, or
otherwise attributable or chargeable to Mortgagor as lessee, and
ultimately, owner of the Property; and (ii) all out of pocket costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,

or remedy, or the defense of any right or remedy or the enforcement
of any obligation of Mortgagor, hereunder or under any other NL
Loan Document .
(o)
Taxes on NL Note or Mortgage . Mortgagor will
promptly pay all income, franchise and other taxes owing by
Mortgagor and any stamp, documentary, recordation and transfer
taxes or other taxes (excluding income taxes imposed upon the
income of Mortgagee) (unless such payment by Mortgagor is
prohibited by law) which may be required to be paid with respect to
the NL Note, this Mortgage or any other instrument evidencing or
securing any of the Secured Indebtedness. In the event
of the enactment after this date of any law of any governmental
entity applicable to Mortgagee, the NL Note, the Property or this
Mortgage deducting from the value of property for the purpose of
taxation any lien or security interest thereon, or imposing upon
Mortgagee the payment of the whole or any part of the taxes or
assessments or charges or liens herein required to be paid by
Mortgagor, or changing in any way the laws relating to the taxation
of deeds of trust or mortgages or security agreements or debts
secured by deeds of trust or mortgages or security agreements or
the interest of the mortgagee or secured party in the property
covered thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, so as
to affect this Mortgage or the Secured Indebtedness or Mortgagee,
then, and in any such event, Mortgagor, upon demand by Mortgagee,
shall pay such taxes, assessments, charges or liens, or reimburse
Mortgagee therefor; provided, however, that if in the opinion of
counsel for Mortgagee (i) it might be unlawful to require Mortgagor
to make such payment or (ii) the making of such payment might
result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount
permitted by law, then and in such event, Mortgagee may elect, by
notice in writing given to Mortgagor, to declare all of the Secured
Indebtedness to be and become due and payable ninety (90) days from
the giving of such notice.

Statement Concerning Mortgage, Etc . Mortgagor
shall at any time and from time to time furnish within fifteen (15)
days of written request by Mortgagee a written statement in such
form as may be required by Mortgagee stating that to the best of

Documents executed by Mortgagor are valid and binding obligations
of Mortgagor, enforceable against Mortgagor in accordance with
their terms; (ii) this Mortgage and the other NL Loan Documents
have not been released, subordinated or modified; and

Lease . Mortgagor covenants, represents and warrants
that:
(i) The
Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly
recorded. The Ground Lease is in full force and effect
in accordance with the terms thereof and has not been
modified. There are no existing defaults by any party to
the Ground Lease thereunder (or events which would constitute a
default but for the giving of notice and/or the passage of
time). Mortgagor is the owner of the leasehold estate
created by the Ground Lease and has the right and authority to
mortgage the same to Mortgagee hereunder without the need to obtain
the consent of any person, including SERA or, if needed, such
consent has been obtained. In the event that Mortgagee
acquires title to Mortgagor's interest in the Ground Lease, by
foreclosure or assignment in lieu or under a new lease, Mortgagee
may assign the Ground Lease (or such new lease, as applicable) and
shall be released from all liability under the Ground Lease (or a
new lease, as applicable), from and after the date Mortgagee
provides the ground lessor under the Ground Lease with a copy of an
agreement executed by the assignee wherein such assignee agrees to
assume all of the obligations of the Mortgagee under the Ground
Lease.
(ii) Mortgagor
shall not surrender the leasehold estate created under the Ground
Lease or its interest herein described, nor terminate or cancel the
Ground Lease, and will not without the express written consent of
Mortgagee modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground
Lease either orally or in writing, in any way, and as further
security for the performance of the covenants herein and in the
Ground Lease contained, Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all
of its rights, privileges and prerogatives as under the Ground
Lease to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or
amend the Ground Lease, in any way any. Mortgagor

modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the
Ground Lease, in any way, without the prior written consent thereto
by Mortgagee shall be void and of no force and
effect. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee,
simultaneously with the giving thereof as hereinafter provided in
this sentence, copies of any notices of default by the ground
lessor under the Ground Lease which Mortgagor may give SERA or any
ground lessor thereunder. Mortgagor covenants with

covenant, agreement and condition set forth in the Ground Lease to
be observed and/or performed by Mortgagor, as tenant
thereunder. Mortgagee shall have the right to declare
the occurrence of a Default under this Mortgage in the event of a
default in or breach of the performance by Mortgagor under the
Ground Lease, of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions
contained in the Ground Lease.

there shall be filed by or against the Mortgagor a petition under
the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq., and the
Mortgagor, as lessee under the Ground Lease, shall determine to
reject the Ground Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Mortgagor shall give the Mortgagee not less
