(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.

(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.
