ARTICLE I
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER
Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, does hereby represent, warrant and covenant to and with Lender, its successors and assigns, that:
Section 1.1 Organization; Special Purpose. Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations. Borrower possesses all franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, licenses and permits necessary for the conduct of its business substantially as now conducted. Borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.29 hereof. All of the assumptions made in that certain substantive non-consolidation opinion letter dated the date hereof, delivered by Borrower’s counsel in connection with the Loan and any subsequent non-consolidation opinion delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Mortgage (the “Non-Consolidation Opinion”), including, but not limited to, any exhibits attached thereto, are true and correct in all respects.
Section 1.2 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple title to the Property, subject only to those matters expressly set forth as exceptions to or subordinate matters in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Mortgage delivered as of the date hereof which Lender has agreed to accept, excepting therefrom all preprinted and/or standard exceptions (such items being the “Permitted Encumbrances”), and has full power and lawful authority to grant, bargain, sell, convey, assign, transfer, encumber and mortgage its interest in the Property in the manner and form hereby done or intended. Borrower will preserve its interest in and title to the Property and will forever warrant and defend the same to Lender against any and all claims whatsoever and will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien and security interest created herein against the claims of all persons and parties whomsoever, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances. This Mortgage creates (i) a valid, perfected lien on the Premises, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the liens created by the Loan Documents and (ii) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no security agreements or financing statements affecting all or any portion of the Property other than (i) as disclosed in writing by Borrower to Lender prior to the date hereof and (ii) the security agreements and financing statements created in favor of Lender. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Premises which are or may become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the liens created by the Loan Documents. None of the Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by this Mortgage, materially and adversely affect the value of the Premises, impair the use or operations of the Premises or impair Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations in a timely manner. The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the foreclosure of this Mortgage
5
and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender in the event Lender acquires title to the Property pursuant to any foreclosure.
Section 1.3 No Bankruptcy Filing. No bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings or liquidation of all or a substantial portion of the Property is pending or contemplated by Borrower or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, against Borrower or by or against any endorser or cosigner of the Note or of any portion of the Debt, or any guarantor or indemnitor under any guaranty or indemnity agreement, including, without limitation, that certain Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement, dated the date hereof, executed by Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, in favor of Lender (the “Guaranty Agreement”), executed in connection with the Note or the loan evidenced thereby and secured hereby (an “Indemnitor”). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any general partner, manager, sole member, managing member or majority shareholder of Borrower, as applicable (collectively, the “Borrower Parties”, each a “Borrower Party”), and neither Borrower Party or any principal of a Borrower Party has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.
Section 1.4 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or, as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower and the Property (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Mortgage. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.
Section 1.5 Proceedings; Enforceability. The execution, delivery and performance of this Mortgage, the Note and all of the other Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action to be, and are, binding and enforceable against Borrower in accordance with the respective terms thereof and do not contravene, result in a breach of or constitute a default (nor upon the giving of notice or the passage of time or both will same constitute a default) under the partnership agreement, articles of incorporation, operating agreement or other organizational documents of Borrower or any contract or agreement of any nature to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any of its property may be bound and do not violate or contravene any law, order, decree, rule or regulation to which Borrower is subject. The Loan Documents are not subject to, and Borrower has not asserted, any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury.
6
Section 1.6 No Conflicts. Borrower is not required to obtain any consent, approval or authorization from or to file any declaration or statement with, any governmental authority or agency in connection with or as a condition to the execution, delivery or performance of this Mortgage, the Note or the other Loan Documents which has not been so obtained or filed. Borrower has obtained or made all necessary (i) consents, approvals and authorizations and registrations and filings of or with all governmental authorities or agencies and (ii) consents, approvals, waivers and notifications of partners, stockholders, members, creditors, lessors and other non-governmental persons and/or entities, in each case, which are required to be obtained or made by Borrower in connection with the execution and delivery of, and the performance by Borrower of its obligations under, the Loan Documents.
Section 1.7 Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation T, U or X or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by law or any Loan Document. Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

Borrower and any general partner or managing member of Borrower, if any, has filed all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed as of the date hereof and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower and any general partner or managing member, if any, as of the date hereof. Borrower and any general partner or managing member, if any, believe that their respective tax returns properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower and said general partner or managing member, if any, for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit. Borrower and the Property are free from any past due obligations for sales and payroll taxes.
Section 1.9 ERISA. Borrower (i) has no knowledge of any material liability that has been incurred or is expected to be incurred by Borrower that is or remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any “employee benefit plan”, as defined in section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or any “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any other benefit plan (other than a multi-employer plan) maintained, contributed to, or required to be contributed to by Borrower or by any entity that is under the common control with Borrower within the meaning of ERISA Section 4001(a)(14) (collectively, a “Plan”) or any plan that would be a Plan but for the fact that it is a multi-employer plan within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(37) and (ii) has made and shall continue to make when due all required contributions to all such Plans, if any. Each such Plan, if any, has been and will be administered in compliance with its terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Federal or state law and no action shall be taken or fail to be taken that would result in
7
the disqualification or loss of the tax-exempt status of any such Plan, if any, intended to be qualified or tax-exempt. The assets of Borrower do not constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.
Section 1.10 Property Compliance. The Premises and the Improvements and the current intended use thereof by Borrower comply in all material respects with all applicable restrictive covenants, zoning ordinances, subdivision and building codes, flood disaster laws, health and environmental laws and regulations and all other ordinances, orders or requirements issued by any state, federal or municipal authorities having or claiming jurisdiction over the Property, except as otherwise previously disclosed to Lender in writing. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Premises. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Premises is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Premises. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Premises have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The Premises and Improvements constitute one or more separate tax parcels for purposes of ad valorem taxation. The Premises and Improvements do not require any rights over, or restrictions against, other property in order to comply with any of the aforesaid governmental ordinances, orders or requirements.
Section 1.11 Utilities. All utility services necessary and sufficient for the full use, occupancy, operation and disposition of the Premises and the Improvements for their intended purposes are available to the Property, including water, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, gas, electric, cable and telephone facilities, through public rights-of-way or perpetual private easements approved by Lender. The Property is free from delinquent water charges, sewer rents, taxes and assessments.
Section 1.12 Public Access. All streets, roads, highways, bridges and waterways necessary for access to and full use, occupancy, operation and disposition of the Premises and the Improvements have been completed, have been dedicated to and accepted by the appropriate municipal authority and are open and available to the Premises and the Improvements without further condition or cost to Borrower. All curb cuts, driveways and traffic signals shown on the survey delivered to Lender prior to the execution and delivery of this Mortgage are existing and have been fully approved by the appropriate governmental authority.
Section 1.13 Litigation; Agreements. There are no judicial, administrative, mediation or arbitration actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower (or, if Borrower is a partnership or a limited liability company, any of its general partners or members) or the Property which, if adversely determined, would materially impair either the Property or Borrower’s ability to perform the covenants or obligations required to be performed under the Loan Documents. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any
8
material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the Property is bound.
Section 1.14 Physical Condition. As of the date of this Mortgage, (i) the Property is free from unrepaired damage caused by fire, flood, accident or other casualty, (ii) no part of the Premises or the Improvements has been taken in condemnation, eminent domain or like proceeding nor is any such proceeding pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge and belief, threatened or contemplated, (iii) except as may otherwise be disclosed in that certain Property Condition Report (the “Property Condition Report”) dated May 5, 2006 and prepared by IVI Due Diligence Services, Inc., the Improvements are structurally sound, in good repair and free of defects in materials and workmanship and have been constructed and installed in substantial compliance with the plans and specifications relating thereto, and (iv) all major building systems located within the Improvements, including, without limitation, the heating and air conditioning systems and the electrical and plumbing systems, are in good working order and condition.
Section 1.15 Contracts. Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct and complete copies of all Contracts and all amendments thereto or modifications thereof. Each Contract constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, is enforceable against any other party thereto. No default exists, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would exist, under any Contract which would, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Borrower or the Property. No Contract provides any party with the right to obtain a lien or encumbrance upon the Property superior to the lien of this Mortgage. All Contracts affecting the Property have been entered into at arms-length in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.
Section 1.16 Leases. Borrower has delivered (i) a true, correct and complete schedule (the “Rent Roll”) of all Leases affecting the Property as of the date hereof, which accurately and completely sets forth in all material respects for each such Lease, the following: the name of the Tenant, the Lease expiration date, extension and renewal provisions, the base rent payable, the security deposit held thereunder and any other material provisions of such Lease and (ii) true, correct and complete copies of all Leases described in the Rent Roll. Each Lease constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, is enforceable against the Tenant thereof. No default exists, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would exist, under any Lease which would, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Borrower or the Property. No Tenant under any Lease has, as of the date hereof, paid rent more than thirty (30) days in advance, and the rents under such Leases have not been waived, released, or otherwise discharged or compromised. All security deposits required under such Leases have been fully funded and are held by Borrower as permitted by applicable law. All work to be performed by Borrower under the Leases has been substantially performed, all contributions to be made by Borrower to the Tenants thereunder have been made and all other conditions precedent to each such Tenant’s obligations thereunder have been satisfied. Each Tenant under a Lease has entered into occupancy of the demised premises. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, each Tenant is free from bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement proceedings or a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.
9
No Lease provides any party with the right to obtain a lien or encumbrance upon the Property superior to the lien of this Mortgage.
Section 1.17 Foreign Person. Borrower is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of §1445(f)(3) of the Code, and the related Treasury Department regulations, including temporary regulations.
Section 1.18 Management Agreement. The property management agreement relating to the Premises (the “Management Agreement”) is in full force and effect and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder by any party thereto beyond the expiration of applicable notice and grace periods thereunder and no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation by any party thereunder. The fee due under the Management Agreement, and the terms and provisions of the Management Agreement, are subordinate to this Mortgage.
Section 1.19 Fraudulent Transfer. Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).
All of the representations and warranties in this Article I and elsewhere in the Loan Documents (i) shall survive for so long as any portion of the Debt remains owing to Lender and (ii) shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.
ARTICLE II
COVENANTS OF BORROWER
For the purposes of further securing the Debt and for the protection of the security of this Mortgage, for so long as the Debt or any part thereof remains unpaid, Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:
Section 2.1 Defense of Title. If, while this Mortgage is in force, the title to the Property or the interest of Lender therein shall be the subject, directly or indirectly, of any action at law or in equity, or be attached directly or indirectly, or endangered, clouded or adversely
10
affected in any manner, Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, shall take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of said title or interest, including the employment of counsel approved by Lender, the prosecution or defense of litigation, and the compromise or discharge of claims made against said title or interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender determines that Borrower is not adequately performing its obligations under this Section, Lender may, without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies of Lender hereunder, take such steps with respect thereto as Lender shall deem necessary or proper and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.
Section 2.2 Performance of Obligations. Borrower shall pay when due the principal of and the interest on the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note. Borrower shall also pay all charges, fees and other sums required to be paid by Borrower as provided in the Loan Documents, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and shall observe, perform and discharge all obligations, covenants and agreements to be observed, performed or discharged by Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents in accordance with their terms. Further, Borrower shall promptly and strictly perform and comply with all covenants, conditions, obligations and prohibitions required of Borrower in connection with any other document or instrument affecting title to the Property, or any part thereof, regardless of whether such document or instrument is superior or subordinate to this Mortgage.
Section 2.3 Insurance. Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense, maintain in force and effect on the Property at all times while this Mortgage continues in effect the following insurance:
(a) Insurance against loss or damage to the Property by fire, lightning, windstorm, tornado, hail, terrorism, riot and civil commotion, vandalism, malicious mischief, burglary and theft and against loss and damage by such other, further and additional risks as may be now or hereafter embraced by a “special causes of loss” type of insurance policy. The amount of such insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements (as established by a Member of the Appraisal Institute appraisal), without reduction for depreciation. The determination of the replacement cost amount shall be adjusted annually to comply with the requirements of the insurer issuing such coverage or, at Lender’s election, by reference to such indices, appraisals or information as Lender determines in its reasonable discretion in order to reflect increased value due to inflation. Absent such annual adjustment, each policy shall contain inflation guard coverage insuring that the policy limit will be increased over time to reflect the effect of inflation. “Full replacement cost,” as used herein and elsewhere in this Section 2.3, means, with respect to the Improvements, the cost of replacing the Improvements without regard to deduction for depreciation, exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor. Borrower shall also maintain insurance against loss or damage to furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment and other items (whether personalty or fixtures) included in the Property and owned by Borrower from time to time to the extent applicable. Each policy shall contain a waiver of any
11
co-insurance provisions, subject to Lender’s approval. The maximum deductible shall be $100,000.00.
(b) If the “special causes of loss” policy required in subsection (a) above excludes coverage for wind damage, Borrower shall maintain separate coverage for such risk. Furthermore, if the Property is located in the State of Florida, or within twenty five (25) miles of the ocean coast of the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Hawaii or South Carolina, windstorm insurance must be maintained in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of the Property or (ii) the maximum limit of coverage available with respect to the Improvements and Equipment. If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months general business income coverage specifically relating to wind damage shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be $100,000.00, which deductible shall only apply to “tier one” coverages.
(c) Ordinance and law insurance is required if the Property is “non-conforming” with respect to any zoning requirements. Borrower shall maintain “Coverage A” against loss on value to the undamaged portion of the Improvements for the full replacement cost of the Improvements. Borrower shall also maintain “Coverage B” against the cost of demolition in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the total value of the Improvements and “Coverage C” against increased cost of reconstruction in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the total value of the Improvements. The maximum deductible shall be $100,000.00; provided that if the insurance required under this Section 2.3(c) is fully covered by the insurance required in Section 2.3(a) above, then no separate deductible shall be required, and the maximum deductible of $100,000.00 shall apply for the combined insurance for Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.3(c).
(d) Commercial General Liability Insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage occurring on, in or about the Premises or the Improvements in amounts not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate plus umbrella coverage in an amount not less than $25,000,000. Lender hereby retains the right to periodically review the amount of said liability insurance being maintained by Borrower and to require an increase in the amount of said liability insurance should Lender deem an increase to be reasonably prudent under then existing circumstances. The maximum deductible shall be $25,000.00.
(e) Equipment breakdown (also known as boiler and machinery) insurance is required if steam boilers or other pressure-fired vessels are in operation at the Premises. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the greater of the replacement cost (insurable value) of the Improvements housing such boiler or pressure-fired machinery or $2,000,000.00. If one or more large HVAC units is in operation at the Premises, “Systems Breakdowns” coverage shall be required, as determined by Lender. Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the value of such unit(s). If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months general business income coverage specifically relating to boiler and machinery damage shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be $100,000.00. Co-insurance is prohibited.

12
required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or the unpaid balance of the Debt if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured), or (ii) the maximum insurance available under the appropriate National Flood Insurance Administration program. If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months general business income coverage specifically relating to flood damage shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be $5,000.00 per building or a higher minimum amount as required by FEMA or other applicable law.
(g) If the Property is situated in an area designated by FEMA as a high probability earthquake area (Zone 2b or greater), Lender may require a Probable Maximum Loss (“PML”) study to be conducted at the Property. If the PML study reveals a PML equal to or exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the full replacement cost of the Improvements, Borrower shall be required to maintain earthquake insurance in an amount equal to the PML percentage of full replacement cost of the Improvements. If available, a minimum of eighteen (18) months Business Income coverage specifically relating to earthquake damage shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be no more than five percent (5%) of the value at risk or the lowest deductible available in the State in which the Property is located.
(h) During the period of any construction, renovation or alteration of the existing Improvements which exceeds the lesser of 10% of the principal amount of the Note or $500,000, at Lender’s request, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Lender, may be required. During the period of any construction of any addition to the existing Improvements, a completed value, “All Risk” Builder’s Risk form or “Course of Construction” insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved by Lender, shall be required. The maximum deductible shall be $100,000.00.

(j) In addition to the specific risk coverages required herein, general business income (loss of rents) insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate Borrower for all Rents and Profits or income during a period of not less than eighteen (18) months. The “actual loss” amount of coverage shall be adjusted annually to reflect the greater of (i) estimated Rents and Profits or income payable during the succeeding eighteen (18) month period or (ii) the projected operating expenses, capital expenses and debt service for the Property as approved by Lender in its sole discretion. The maximum deductible shall be $100,000.00.
(k) Such other insurance on the Property or on any replacements or substitutions thereof or additions thereto as may from time to time be required by Lender against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of property similarly situated including, without limitation, Sinkhole, Mine Subsidence and Environmental insurance, due regard being given to the height and type of buildings, their construction, location, use and occupancy.
13
(l) At Borrower’s election, in lieu of the maximum deductible required for insurance coverage required under Sections 2.3(d) of the Mortgage, Borrower shall be required to maintain a Self-insured Retention in connection with its General Liability Insurance coverage, in an amount not to exceed $150,000.00, provided that Borrower shall be personally liable for the payment of all claims within the limits of the Self-insured Retention, as if such obligation of Borrower were included as an exception to the Exculpation provisions in Section 2.6(c) of the Note and the Indemnitor shall also be liable for the payment of such claims pursuant to its Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement of even date herewith for the benefit of Lender.
(m) Borrower shall maintain insurance against damage resulting from acts of terrorism, or an insurance policy without an exclusion for damages resulting from terrorism, on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsections (a) and (j) above, provided, however, that in the event the commercial property and business income insurance required under subsection (a) and (j) above excludes perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism, then Borrower shall maintain a separate commercial property and business income insurance policy for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts, except as provided for below) consistent with those required under subsection (a) and (j) above ( a “Stand Alone Terrorism Insurance Policy”) all times during the term of the Loan; provided, that, Borrower shall not be required to maintain terrorism coverage for amounts in excess of the amount of coverage that, could be obtained under a Stand Alone Terrorism Insurance Policy upon the payment of an annual premium in an amount (the “Terrorism Insurance Cap”) equal to two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the cost of obtaining a Stand Alone Terrorism Insurance Policy as of the date hereof and in the event the annual premium for terrorism coverage satisfying the requirements of this Section 2.3 shall exceed the Terrorism Insurance Cap, Borrower shall only be required to obtain and maintain terrorism coverage for as much of the coverage as is available for a premium equal to the Terrorism Insurance Cap.
All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers fully licensed and authorized to do business in the state within which the Premises is located and who have and maintain a rating of at least (A) A or higher from Standard & Poors and (B) AX or higher from A.M. Best, (ii) contain the complete address of the Premises (or a complete legal description), (iii) be for terms of at least one year, with premium prepaid, and (iv) be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, content, forms of policies, method by which premiums are paid and expiration dates, and (v) include a standard, non-contributory, mortgagee clause naming EXACTLY:
Wachovia Bank, National Association,
its Successors and Assigns ATIMA
c/o Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Servicer
P.O. Box 563956
Charlotte, North Carolina 28256-3956
(A) as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies, (B) as the first mortgagee on all property insurance policies and (C) as the loss payee on all loss of rents or loss of business income insurance policies.
14
Borrower shall, as of the date hereof, deliver to Lender evidence that said insurance policies have been prepaid as required above and certified copies of such insurance policies and original certificates of insurance signed by an authorized agent of the applicable insurance companies evidencing such insurance satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall renew all such insurance and deliver to Lender an Acord 28 certificate for proof of commercial property insurance and an Acord 25 certificate for proof of liability insurance, together with such other certificates reasonably requested by Lender. Borrower further agrees that each such insurance policy: (i) shall provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender prior to any policy reduction or cancellation for any reason other than non-payment of premium and at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Lender prior to any cancellation due to non-payment of premium; (ii) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to Lender in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance; (iii) shall waive all rights of subrogation against Lender; and (iv) may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that, in the event that any such coverage is provided in the form of a blanket policy, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that failure to pay any portion of the premium therefor which is not allocable to the Property or by any other action not relating to the Property which would otherwise permit the issuer thereof to cancel the coverage thereof, would require the Property to be insured by a separate, single-property policy. The blanket policy must properly identify and fully protect the Property as if a separate policy were issued for 100% of Replacement Cost at the time of loss and otherwise meet all of Lender’s applicable insurance requirements set forth in this Section 2.3. The delivery to Lender of the insurance policies or the certificates of insurance as provided above shall constitute an assignment of all proceeds payable under such insurance policies relating to the Property by Borrower to Lender as further security for the Debt. In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all proceeds payable under such policies then in force concerning the Property shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, or in Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title. Approval of any insurance by Lender shall not be a representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance. In the event Borrower fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Lender the policies of insurance required by this Mortgage or evidence of their renewal as required herein, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and Borrower shall pay all amounts advanced by Lender therefor, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the date advanced by Lender until actually repaid by Borrower, promptly upon demand by Lender. Any amounts so advanced by Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt. Lender shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the insolvency of the insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform, even though Lender has caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after failure of Borrower to furnish such insurance. Borrower shall not obtain insurance for the Property in addition to that required by Lender without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that (i) Lender is a named insured on such insurance, (ii) Lender receives complete copies of all policies evidencing such insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable requirements set forth herein.
15
Section 2.4 Payment of Taxes. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid, except to the extent provision is actually made therefor pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Mortgage, all taxes and assessments which are or may become a lien on the Property or which are assessed against or imposed upon the Property. Borrower shall furnish Lender with receipts (or if receipts are not immediately available, with copies of canceled checks evidencing payment with receipts to follow promptly after they become available) showing payment of such taxes and assessments at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable delinquency date therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and upon notice to Lender, contest the validity, applicability or amount of any asserted tax or assessment so long as (a) such contest is diligently pursued, (b) Lender determines, in its subjective opinion, that such contest suspends the obligation to pay the tax and that nonpayment of such tax or assessment will not result in the sale, loss, forfeiture or diminution of the Property or any part thereof or any interest of Lender therein, and (c) prior to the earlier of the commencement of such contest or the delinquency date of the asserted tax or assessment, Borrower deposits in the Impound Account (as hereinafter defined) an amount determined by Lender to be adequate to cover the payment of such tax or assessment and a reasonable additional sum to cover possible interest, costs and penalties; provided, however, that Borrower shall promptly cause to be paid any amount adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due, with all interest, costs and penalties thereon, promptly after such judgment becomes final; and provided further that in any event each such contest shall be concluded and the taxes, assessments, interest, costs and penalties shall be paid prior to the date any writ or order is issued under which the Property may be sold, lost or forfeited.
Section 2.5 Casualty and Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt written notice of (i) the occurrence of any casualty affecting the Property or any portion thereof, (ii) the institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof or (iii) any written notification threatening the institution of any proceedings for eminent domain or for the condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof or any written request to execute a deed in lieu of condemnation affecting the Property or any portion thereof. All insurance proceeds on the Property, and all causes of action, claims, compensation, awards and recoveries for any damage, condemnation or taking, or any deed in lieu of condemnation, affecting all or any part of the Property or for any damage or injury to it for any loss or diminution in value of the Property, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. Lender may participate in any suits or proceedings relating to any such proceeds, causes of action, claims, compensation, awards or recoveries, and Lender is hereby authorized, in its own name or in Borrower’s name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance or any condemnation claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender any instruments required to permit such participation; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, and no event has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both would constitute an Event of Default (a “Default”), Lender shall not have the right to participate in the adjustment of any loss which is not in excess of the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $250,000. Lender shall apply any sums received by it under this Section first to the payment of all of its costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in obtaining those sums, and then, as follows:
16
(a) In the event that less than (x) — fifteen percent (15%), in the case of condemnation, or thirty percent (30%), in the case of casualty, of the fair market value or net rentable square footage of the Improvements located on the Premises have been taken or destroyed and (y) Leases covering in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, and each Major Lease (as hereinafter defined) in effect as of such date shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for restoration, then if and so long as:
(1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and
(2) the Property can, in Lender’s judgment, with diligent restoration or repair, be returned to a condition at least equal to the condition thereof that existed prior to the casualty or partial taking causing the loss or damage within the earlier to occur of (A) nine (9) months after the initial receipt of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards by either Borrower or Lender but in any event prior to the expiration or lapse of rent loss or general business income necessary to satisfy current obligations of the Loan, and (B) six (6) months prior to the stated maturity date of the Note, and
(3) all necessary governmental approvals can be obtained to allow the rebuilding and reoccupancy of the Property as described in Section (a)(2) above, and
(4) there are sufficient sums available (through insurance proceeds or condemnation awards and contributions by Borrower, the full amount of which shall, at Lender’s option, have been deposited with Lender) for such restoration or repair (including, without limitation, for any costs and expenses of Lender to be incurred in administering said restoration or repair) and for payment of principal and interest to become due and payable under the Note during such restoration or repair, and
(5) the economic feasibility of the Improvements after such restoration or repair will be such that income from their operation is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to pay operating expenses of the Property and debt service on the Debt in full with the same coverage ratio considered by Lender in its determination to make the loan secured hereby, and
(6) in the event that the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received as a result of such casualty or partial taking exceed the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (ii) $250,000, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, an appraisal report in form and substance satisfactory to Lender appraising the value of the Property as proposed to be restored or repaired to be not less than the appraised value of the Property considered by Lender in its determination to make the loan secured hereby, and
(7) Borrower so elects by written notice delivered to Lender within five (5) days after settlement of the aforesaid insurance or condemnation claim.
17
Lender shall, solely for the purposes of such restoration or repair, advance so much of the remainder of such sums as may be required for such restoration or repair, and any funds deposited by Borrower therefor, to Borrower in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the prior approval by Lender of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Lender of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its discretion, with any remainder being applied by Lender for payment of the Debt in whatever order Lender directs in its absolute sole discretion, or at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to, or for the benefit of, Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate in its discretion.
(b) In all other cases, namely, in the event that (x) more than fifteen percent (15%), in the case of condemnation, or thirty percent (30%), in the case of casualty, of the fair market value or net rentable square footage of the Improvements located on the Premises have been taken or destroyed (y) Leases covering in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, and each Major Lease (as hereinafter defined) in effect as of such date will not remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for restoration, or (z) Borrower does not elect to restore or repair the Property pursuant to clause (a) above or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of clause (a) above, then, in any of such events, Lender shall elect, in Lender’s absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of Lender’s security to do either of the following: (1) accelerate the maturity date of the Note and declare any and all of the Debt to be immediately due and payable and apply the remainder of such sums received pursuant to this Section to the payment of the Debt in whatever order Lender directs in its absolute discretion, with any remainder being paid to Borrower, or (2) notwithstanding that Borrower may have elected not to restore or repair the Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.5(a)(7) above, so long as the proceeds of any such award with respect to any casualty or condemnation are made available to the Borrower for restoration, require Borrower to restore or repair the Property in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a prudent interim construction lender, including, but not limited to, the deposit by Borrower with Lender, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, of any deficiency reasonably determined by Lender to be necessary in order to assure the availability of sufficient funds to pay for such restoration or repair, including Lender’s costs and expenses to be incurred in connection therewith, the prior approval by Lender of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Lender of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its discretion, and apply the remainder of such sums toward such restoration and repair, with any balance thereafter remaining being applied by Lender for payment of the Debt in whatever order Lender directs in its absolute sole discretion, or at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to, or for the benefit of, Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate in its discretion. No such prepayment of the Debt in connection with this Section 2.5(b) shall occasion prepayment penalties or premiums of any kind subject to and in accordance with Section1.5(c) of the Note.
18
Any reduction in the Debt resulting from Lender’s application of any sums received by it hereunder shall take effect only when Lender actually receives such sums and elects to apply such sums to the Debt and, in any event, the unpaid portion of the Debt shall remain in full force and effect and Borrower shall not be excused in the payment thereof. Partial payments received by Lender, as described in the preceding sentence, shall be applied first to the final payment due under the Note and thereafter to installments due under the Note in the inverse order of their due date. If Borrower elects or Lender directs Borrower to restore or repair the Property after the occurrence of a casualty or partial taking of the Property as provided above, Borrower shall promptly and diligently, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds or condemnation award, as appropriate, shall be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Property as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such casualty or partial taking in accordance with the foregoing provisions and Borrower shall pay to Lender all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in administering said rebuilding, restoration or repair, provided that Lender makes such proceeds or award available for such purpose. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as may be requested by Lender to confirm the foregoing assignment to Lender of any award, damage, insurance proceeds, payment or other compensation. Lender is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of Borrower (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this Section, to settle for, collect and receive any such awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittances therefor.
Section 2.6 Construction Liens. Borrower shall pay when due all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or materials delivered for the Premises or the Improvements; provided, however, that, Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith any such claim or demand, so long as it does so diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Lender and provided that neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result of such proceeding or contest. In the event Borrower shall contest any such claim or demand, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such contest and thereafter shall, upon Lender’s request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other security satisfactory to Lender to protect Lender’s interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful. If Borrower shall fail to immediately discharge or provide security against any such claim or demand as aforesaid, Lender may do so and any and all expenses incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Debt.
Section 2.7 Rents and Profits. As additional and collateral security for the payment of the Debt and cumulative of any and all rights and remedies herein provided for, Borrower hereby absolutely and presently assigns to Lender all existing and future Rents and Profits. Borrower hereby grants to Lender the sole, exclusive and immediate right, without taking possession of the Property, to demand, collect (by suit or otherwise), receive and give valid and sufficient receipts
19
for any and all of said Rents and Profits, for which purpose Borrower does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint Lender its attorney-in-fact with full power to appoint substitutes or a trustee to accomplish such purpose (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof). Lender shall be without liability for any loss which may arise from a failure or inability to collect Rents and Profits, proceeds or other payments. However, until the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Mortgage or under any other of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall have a license to collect, receive, use and enjoy the Rents and Profits when due and prepayments thereof for not more than one (1) month prior to due date thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s license shall automatically terminate without notice to Borrower and Lender may thereafter, without taking possession of the Property, collect the Rents and Profits itself or by an agent or receiver. From and after the termination of such license, Borrower shall be the agent of Lender in collection of the Rents and Profits, and all of the Rents and Profits so collected by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lender, and Borrower shall, within one (1) business day after receipt of any Rents and Profits, pay the same to Lender to be applied by Lender as hereinafter set forth. Neither the demand for or collection of Rents and Profits by Lender shall constitute any assumption by Lender of any obligations under any agreement relating thereto. Lender is obligated to account only for such Rents and Profits as are actually collected or received by Lender. Borrower irrevocably agrees and consents that the respective payors of the Rents and Profits shall, upon demand and notice from Lender of an Event of Default, pay said Rents and Profits to Lender without liability to determine the actual existence of any Event of Default claimed by Lender. Borrower hereby waives any right, claim or demand which Borrower may now or hereafter have against any such payor by reason of such payment of Rents and Profits to Lender, and any such payment shall discharge such payor’s obligation to make such payment to Borrower. All Rents collected or received by Lender may be applied against all expenses of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, against costs of operation and management of the Property and against the Debt, in whatever order or priority as to any of the items so mentioned as Lender directs in its sole subjective discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security. Neither the exercise by Lender of any rights under this Section nor the application of any Rents to the Debt shall cure or be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default. The assignment of Rents and Profits hereinabove granted shall continue in full force and effect during any period of foreclosure or redemption with respect to the Property. Borrower has executed an Assignment of Leases and Rents dated of even date herewith (the “Lease Assignment”) in favor of Lender covering all of the right, title and interest of Borrower, as landlord, lessor or licensor, in and to any Leases. All rights and remedies granted to Lender under the Lease Assignment shall be in addition to and cumulative of all rights and remedies granted to Lender hereunder.
Section 2.8 Leases. Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall not enter into any Lease (i) affecting 6,000 square feet or more of the Property or (ii) having a term of five (5) years or more (inclusive of any renewals or extensions) (each, a “Major Lease”) without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The request for approval of each such proposed new Lease shall be made to Lender in writing and shall state that, pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage, failure to approve or disapprove such proposed Lease within fifteen (15) business days is deemed approval and Borrower shall furnish to Lender
