From and after the Release, all references to “Property” in this Security Instrument and each other Loan Document shall solely refer to the Remaining Parcel and shall not include any portion of the Future Development Parcel.
SECTION 1.2. GROUND LEASE. Lender acknowledges that Grantor is entering into a Ground Lease dated the date hereof (“Ground Lease”) between Grantor as Ground Lessor (“Ground Lessor”) and BMR Shady Grove D LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Ground Lessee (“Ground Lessee”) pursuant to which Grantor has leased its fee interest in the Future Development Parcel (as such Future Development Parcel is described onExhibit B). Lender further acknowledges that a memorandum of the Ground Lease will be recorded with the Montgomery County Recorder’s Office prior to the recording of this Security Instrument, but will be subordinated to this Security Instrument pursuant to a Subordination, Non-Disturbance, and Attornment Agreement dated the date hereof. All leasehold improvements owned by Ground Lessee are not part of the Property and are not subject to the
7
terms of the lien of this Security Instrument. Lender hereby acknowledges that Ground Lessee shall be entitled to obtain Ground Lease financing, provided in all events that such financing shall impose no material additional obligation on Lender and shall not encumber Grantor’s fee interest in the Property. Lender further acknowledges that Ground Lessee and Ground Lessor shall have the right to modify, amend and terminate the Ground Lease without the consent of Lender; provided, however, Lender’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall be required in connection with any modification or amendment of the Ground Lease which materially increases the obligations of Ground Lessor thereunder and provided that such modification, amendment or termination shall not cause a violation of the provisions ofSection 4.3 of this Security Instrument.
SECTION 1.3. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS. Grantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Lender Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to all current and future Leases and Rents, it being acknowledged by Grantor that this assignment constitutes, and is intended to constitute a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of thisSection 1.3 andSection 3.6, Lender grants to Grantor a revocable license to collect and receive the Rents. Grantor shall hold a portion of the Rents sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Secured Obligations for use in the payment of such sums.
SECTION 1.4. SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Security Instrument is both a real property mortgage and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Grantor in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security Instrument, Grantor hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Indemnity Guaranty, a security interest in any of the Property that is deemed to be personal property to the full extent that such property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code. This Security Instrument shall be and is intended to serve as a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Personal Property, and when filed shall serve as a financing statement for all intents and purposes thereunder. Grantor authorizes Lender to file financing statements describing the Personal Property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to all rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon its recording in the real property records, this Security Instrument shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing and when filed shall serve as a financing statement for all intents and purposes thereunder. For purposes of this filing, Grantor is the record owner of the Property. The name and mailing address of Grantor, as debtor, and the name and mailing address of Lender, as secured party, from which information concerning this Security Instrument may be obtained, are set forth in the Preamble of this Security Instrument. Grantor shall immediately advise the Lender in writing of any change in the state of Grantor’s organization, or Grantor’s exact legal name, or the places where the Personal Property, or any part thereof, or the books and records concerning the Personal Property, or any part thereof, are kept.
If any of the Property is deemed to be personal property, this Security Instrument shall also constitute a security agreement with respect to such personal property executed by Grantor as debtor in favor of Lender as secured party. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to and not in derogation of any other rights and
8
remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents or applicable law, in accordance with Section 9-604 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as applicable, or other such provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, elect (i) to proceed under and have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable law, or (ii) to proceed as to both the real property and the personal property in accordance with Lender’s rights and remedies in respect of the real property encumbered by this Security Instrument, whereupon at any foreclosure sale conducted pursuant to this Security Instrument the Trustee acting hereunder may offer the real and personal property together as part of the same sale, with bids to be taken on the whole of the real and personal property rather than separately.
SECTION 1.5. PLEDGE OF MONIES HELD. Grantor hereby pledges to Lender any and all items and monies now or hereafter held by Lender, including any sums deposited in the Impound Account or any escrow, as additional security for Secured Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument.
SECTION 1.6. COMMON LAW PLEDGE/ASSIGNMENT. To the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code does not apply to any item of the Personal Property, it is the intention of this Security Instrument that Lender have a common law pledge and/or collateral assignment of such item of Personal Property.

(c)Terrorism Coverage. The commercial property and business income insurance required pursuant toSection 3.2(a) hereof shall be required to cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism (“Terrorism Coverage”) and Grantor shall maintain Commercial Property Insurance and Business Income Insurance for loss resulting from perils, and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required underSections 3.2(a)(i) and(iii) above at all times during the term of the Secured Obligations so long as (A) Lender reasonably determines that either (1) prudent owners of real estate comparable to the Property are maintaining same, or (2) prudent institutional lenders are requiring that such owners maintain such insurance; or (B) if such insurance is obtainable from any insurer or the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and the lack of such insurance in and of itself will result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the then current rating assigned, or to be assigned, or prevent ratings from being assigned, to the Securities or any class thereof in any applicable Securitization. If Lender has waived the requirement that Grantor obtain Terrorism Coverage, Lender may at any time require that Grantor obtain such Terrorism Coverage upon thirty (30) days notice.
(d)Compliance With Insurance Requirements. Grantor shall comply with all insurance requirements and shall not bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept any article upon any of the Property or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon which would be prohibited by an insurance requirement, or would invalidate the insurance coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Grantor on or with respect to any part of the Property pursuant to thisSection 3.2.

13
repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (the “Insurance Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance withSection 4.4 of this Security Instrument.
(f)Blanket Insurance Policies. The insurance coverage required underSection 3.2(a) may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Property and other properties and assets not constituting a part of the security hereunder; provided that any such blanket policy shall specify the portion of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Property, and any sub-limit in such blanket policy applicable to the Property, and shall in any case comply in all other respects with the requirements of thisSection 3.2. Lender may make such other requirements with respect to blanket insurance as Lender may deem reasonably appropriate or desirable from time to time.
(g)Absolute Transfer On Foreclosure. In the event of a foreclosure of this Security Instrument or other transfer of title to the Property extinguishing the Secured Obligations or the lien of this Security Instrument to the extent permitted by the policies, all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to any insurance policies then in force shall pass to and are hereby assigned by Grantor to the purchaser or grantee.
SECTION 3.3. PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC.
(a) Grantor shall pay, or cause to be paid, by their due date, all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges, including vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Taxes”), all ground rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Other Charges”), and all charges for utility services provided to the Property as same become due and payable. Grantor shall deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lender’s request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes, Other Charges, and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Grantor shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge whatsoever that may be or become a lien or charge against the Property, except such liens or charges that have either been fully bonded and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes and Other Charges have been deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument, Grantor shall furnish to Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions ofSection 3.3(a), after prior written notice to Lender, Grantor, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any of the Taxes, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Grantor is permitted to do so under the
14
provisions of any other mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt affecting the Property (it not being implied by this clause that any such encumbrance will be permitted), (iii) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Taxes from Grantor and from the Property or Grantor shall have paid all of the Taxes under protest, (iv) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Grantor is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (v) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost, (vi) Grantor shall set aside, or cause to be set aside adequate reserves for the payment of the Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless all Taxes were paid under protest, and (vii) Grantor shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender to insure the payment of any contested Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon.
SECTION 3.4. TAX AND INSURANCE IMPOUND ACCOUNT. Grantor shall establish and maintain at all times while an Event of Default shall occur and shall be continuing, an interest-bearing Eligible Account (the “Impound Account”) with Lender for payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums on the Property and as additional security for the indebtedness secured hereby. Grantor shall deposit in the Impound Account an amount reasonably determined by Lender to be sufficient (when added to the monthly deposits described herein) to pay the next due installment of real estate taxes and assessments on the Property at least one (1) month prior to the due date or the delinquency date thereof (as Lender shall reasonably determine) and the next due annual insurance premiums with respect to the Property at least one (1) month prior to the due date thereof. When required by thisSection 3.4, Grantor shall pay to Lender, on the first day of each month, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual Taxes that will next become due and payable on the Property (the “Monthly Tax Impound”), plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual Insurance Premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies which Grantor is required to maintain hereunder (the “Monthly Insurance Impound”), each as estimated and reasonably determined by Lender. The Monthly Tax Impound or Monthly Insurance Impound shall be added together and shall be paid together as an aggregate sum by Grantor to Lender. If Lender at any time reasonably determines that the Monthly Tax Impounds or Monthly Insurance Impounds are insufficient, Lender may in its reasonable discretion adjust the required monthly payments of such amounts, and Grantor shall be obligated to pay the increased amounts for the Monthly Tax Impounds or Monthly Insurance Impounds commencing on the next Monthly Payment Date. At any time when Grantor is obligated to make the Monthly Tax Impounds and the Monthly Insurance Impounds, all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Lender in the Impound Account and shall be used to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums due and payable during the time Grantor is required to make deposits to the Impound Account, to the extent that the proceeds are sufficient and provided that Grantor has provided to Lender the bills for payment thereof in accordance with the next sentence before the same become due and payable. Grantor shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Lender, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date or the delinquency date for payment thereof (as Lender shall reasonably determine), of all bills, invoices and statements for all Taxes and Insurance Premiums. If an Event of Default shall no longer continue after Grantor has made deposits under thisSection 3.4, Lender shall return the balance remaining in the Impound Account to Grantor. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Lender shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or
15
estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. All interest or other earnings on funds deposited in the Impound Account shall be solely for the account of Grantor. If the total funds in the Impound Account shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes of the Impound Account, such excess may be credited by Lender on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Lender, refunded to Grantor. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If, however, the Impound Account shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required when the same shall become due and payable, Grantor shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Lender the full amount of any such deficiency. The Impound Account may or may not be in a separate physical account, but shall be denoted as a separate account as a matter of Lender’s bookkeeping.
For purposes of this Security Instrument, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
�� “Eligible Account” means a separate and identifiable account from all other funds held by the holding institution that (i) is either (a) an account or accounts maintained with a federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company which complies with the definition of Eligible Institution or (b) a segregated trust account or accounts maintained with a federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company acting in its fiduciary capacity which, in the case of a state chartered depository institution or trust company, is subject to regulations substantially similar to 12 C.F.R. §9.10(b), having in either case a combined capital surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal and state authority, and (ii) constitutes “cash” or a “cash item” within the meaning of Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. An Eligible Account will not be evidenced by a certificate of deposit, passbook or other instrument; and
“Eligible Institution” means a depository institution or trust company insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the short term unsecured debt obligations or commercial paper of which are rated at least “A-1” by S&P, “P-1” by Moody’s and “F-1” by Fitch in the case of accounts in which funds are held for thirty (30) days or less (or, in the case of accounts in which funds are held for more than thirty (30) days, the long term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least “AA” by Fitch and S&P and “Aa2” by Moody’s).
SECTION 3.5. CONDEMNATION. Subject to the terms of the Leases, Grantor shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings to the extent permitted by law. Grantor shall deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Grantor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Grantor shall not make any agreement in lieu of condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of Lender in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in the case of a taking of an insubstantial portion of the Property as reasonably
16
determined by Lender. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking) and whether or not any Condemnation Awards are made available to Grantor for the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to the condemnation or transfer in lieu of condemnation, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender in accordance withSection 4.4 (a “Condemnation Restoration”), the Secured Obligations shall be payable at the time and in the manner provided for in the Indemnity Guaranty, this Security Instrument and the applicable Loan Documents and shall not in any way be reduced until any Condemnation Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Secured Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Condemnation Awards by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Condemnation Awards interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Indemnity Guaranty. Grantor shall cause Condemnation Awards payable to Grantor in any condemnation or transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall apply any such Condemnation Awards (after deducting any expenses of collection) to the reduction or discharge of the Secured Obligations (whether or not then due and payable). No Prepayment Consideration shall be payable solely in connection with such Condemnation Awards. For the purposes of determining whether Prepayment Consideration shall be payable under thisSection 3.5, a criminal action seeking or resulting in a forfeiture of the Property shall not be deemed a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and any payment made pursuant to or in connection with such forfeiture action shall be subject to the payment of Prepayment Consideration. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by the power of eminent domain, Grantor shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Condemnation Restoration in accordance withSection 4.4 of this Security Instrument. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award or payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Indemnity Guaranty shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Condemnation Awards or a portion thereof sufficient to fully satisfy the Secured Obligations.
SECTION 3.6. LEASES AND RENTS. Grantor shall comply at all times with that certain Indemnity Assignment of Leases and Rents of even date herewith executed by Grantor in favor of Lender, which is incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein. All Rents generated by or derived from the Property shall first be utilized solely for current expenses directly attributable to the ownership and operation of the Property, including current expenses relating to Grantor’s liabilities and obligations with respect to the Secured Obligations, and none of the Rents generated by or derived from the Property shall be diverted by Grantor and utilized for any other purpose unless all such current expenses attributable to the ownership and operation of the Property have been fully paid and satisfied.
SECTION 3.7. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Grantor shall cause the Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair, subject to normal wear and tear. Material Improvements and Personal Property shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (unless such Personal Property is replaced with personal property of equal or better quality) without the consent of Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Grantor shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any material improvements which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be affected by
17
any proceeding of the character referred to inSection 3.5 hereof and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land. Grantor shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any material change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses that may be made of the Property or any part thereof without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as specifically permitted pursuant toExhibit C. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Grantor will not cause or permit the nonconforming use or Improvement to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Lender;provided,however, in the event such nonconforming use or Improvement is not in compliance with Applicable Laws, Grantor shall have the right to cause or permit such nonconforming use or Improvement to be discontinued or abandoned to comply with Applicable Laws.
SECTION 3.8. WASTE. Grantor shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Property (“waste” meaning the diminution in the Property’s value resulting from Grantor’s gross negligence or willful failure to manage, maintain repair and otherwise operate the Property in a commercially reasonable manner) or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way materially impair the value of the Property or the security of this Security Instrument. Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Land, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.
SECTION 3.9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
(a) Grantor shall promptly comply with all existing and future federal, state and local laws, orders, ordinances, governmental rules and regulations or court orders affecting the Property and the use thereof (“Applicable Law”).
(b) Grantor shall maintain all necessary certificates, licenses and other approvals, governmental and otherwise, necessary for the Property and the conduct of its business and all required zoning, building code, land use, environmental and other similar permits or approvals, in full force and effect and shall not take or omit to take any action that would subject any of the foregoing to revocation, suspension, forfeiture or modification.
(c) Grantor shall from time to time, upon Lender’s request when Lender has determined that it has reasonable grounds to believe that the Property is not in compliance with Applicable Laws, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Property complies with all Applicable Laws or is exempt from compliance with Applicable Laws.
(d) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any document regarding Lender’s approval of alterations of the Property (subject to any rights of tenants under the Leases), Grantor shall not alter the Property in any manner that would
18
materially increase Grantor’s responsibilities for compliance with Applicable Laws without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lender’s approval of the plans, specifications, or working drawings for alterations of the Property shall create no responsibility or liability on behalf of Lender for their completeness, design, sufficiency or their compliance with Applicable Laws. The foregoing shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Grantor or by any of its tenants. Lender may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of compliance with Applicable Laws from an independent architect, engineer, or other person reasonably acceptable to Lender.
(e) Grantor shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Grantor of any written notice related to a violation of any Applicable Laws and of the written notice of commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Applicable Laws.
(f) After prior written notice to Lender, Grantor, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the Applicable Laws affecting the Property, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) Grantor is permitted to do so under the provisions of any other mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt affecting the Property; (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Grantor is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder; (iv) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein nor any of the tenants or occupants thereof shall be affected in any material adverse way as a result of such proceeding; and (v) Grantor shall have furnished to Lender all other items reasonably requested by Lender.
SECTION 3.10. BOOKS AND RECORDS.
(a) Grantor shall keep adequate books and records of account in accordance with methods reasonably acceptable to Lender and consistently applied, and shall furnish to Lender:
(i) Within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal year of Grantor, Grantor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender the following financial reports, each of which shall be certified by Grantor’s chief financial officer or another person reasonably acceptable to Lender: (A) an annual rent roll; (B) an annual operating statement of the Property; and (C) an annual balance sheet and profit-and-loss statement of Grantor and Borrower.

If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty Loss”) or if the Property or any portion thereof is taken, or threatened to be taken, in any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding (whether instituted or threatened, a “Condemnation Action”), the following provisions shall apply in connection with any Insurance Restoration or Condemnation Restoration (collectively the “Restoration”):
(a) The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed directly to Grantor if each of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Net Proceeds do not exceed $1,000,000.00 (“Availability Threshold”), (ii) the cost of completing the Restoration as reasonably estimated by Grantor is less than or equal to the Availability Threshold, (iii) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with, and permitted under, all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; (iv) no mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens shall have been filed that have not either been fully bonded and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument; and (v) if reasonably required by Lender, Grantor shall have (or shall have caused HGSI or its permitted successors or assigns pursuant to the HGSI Lease to have) procured performance and payment bonds reasonably acceptable to Lender in an amount and form, and from a surety, reasonably acceptable to Lender, and naming Lender and Grantor as
28
an additional obligee. Grantor shall be permitted and is obligated to settle any insurance claims with respect to the Net Proceeds that are, in the aggregate, less than or equal to the Availability Threshold unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Lender shall have the right to participate in and approve any settlement for insurance claims with respect to the Net Proceeds that in the aggregate are equal to or greater than the Availability Threshold. Grantor hereby grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of filing and prosecuting such claim and collecting and making receipt for any such payment, which such power may be exercised by Lender after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. If the Net Proceeds are received by Grantor, such Net Proceeds shall, prior to disbursement, be held in trust for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Grantor to be used to pay for the cost of the Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof. Grantor shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Restoration of the Property (or shall cause the same) to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that: (a) the Net Proceeds do not exceed the Availability Threshold, (b) there is then an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, and (c) there isnot an Event of Default as defined in and under the HGSI Lease pursuant to which Grantor has taken action to take possession of the Remaining Parcel or to terminate the HGSI Lease, Lender shall hold the Net Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing Eligible Account (the “Net Proceeds Account”) to be made available to HGSI in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.3 and Section 19.4.1 of the HGSI Lease.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are greater than the Availability Threshold, such Net Proceeds shall, subject to the provisions of the Leases with respect to which subordination and non-disturbance agreements binding upon Lender have been entered into concerning the deposits of Net Proceeds, be forthwith paid to Lender to be held by Lender in the Net Proceeds Account to be made available to Grantor for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of thisSubsection 4.4(b):
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Grantor for payment of, or reimbursement of Grantor’s reasonable and customary expenses in connection with, the Restoration, subject to the following conditions:
(A) Lender is furnished, within a reasonable period of time prior to request for initial disbursement, with (i) an estimate of the costs of the Restoration, which estimate shall be accompanied by an independent architect’s certification as to such costs, and (ii) appropriate plans and specifications for the Restoration, which plans and specifications shall be subject to Lender’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(B) Lender reasonably determines that the Net Proceeds, together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Grantor with Lender, are sufficient to cover the costs of the Restoration as certified by the independent architect;
29
(C) if the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Awards, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the square footage of the improvements located on the Remaining Parcel is taken;
(D) Lender reasonably determines that any operating deficits, including all Secured Obligations or any required payments that will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action, whichever the case may be, will be payable out of (1) business interruption and/or loss of “rental income” insurance, or (2) other funds of Grantor;
(E) Lender reasonably determines that, upon the completion of the Restoration and related lease-up, if applicable, the net cash flow of the Property will be restored to a level sufficient to cover all carrying costs and operating expenses of the Property, including the Secured Obligations at a debt service coverage ratio (after deducting replacement reserve requirements and reserves for tenant improvements and leasing commissions from net operating income) equal to or greater than the debt service coverage ratio calculated and used by Lender in connection with the origination of the Secured Obligations (i.e., 1.25%) or, if lower, the debt service coverage ratio that existed as of the date immediately preceding such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action;
(F) the Restoration can reasonably be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) twenty-four (24) months from the date of the Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action, (2) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (3) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, or (4) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Property to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action;
(G) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with, and permitted under, all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; and
(H) such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action does not materially impair post-Restoration access to the Land or the Improvements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that: (a) the Net Proceeds are greater than the Availability Threshold, (b) there is then an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, and (c) there isnot an Event of Default under the HGSI Lease pursuant to which Grantor has taken action to take possession of the Remaining Parcel or to terminate the HGSI Lease, Lender shall hold the Net Proceeds in the Net Proceeds Account to be made available to HGSI in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.3 and Section 19.4.2 of the HGSI Lease.
30
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and constitute additional security for the obligations until disbursed pursuant to thisSubsection 4.4(b). The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Grantor from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration that have not either been fully bonded and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument.
(iii) Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender, an independent consulting engineer, architect, or other expert selected by Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”) such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Grantor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including the reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s attorneys and the Restoration Consultant.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” as used in thisSubsection 4.4(b) shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in thisSubsection 4.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Grantor from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall be released when the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of thisSubsection 4.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman
31
has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the surety company, if any, that issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman shall approve the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than twice every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in Lender’s reasonable determination, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs that are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Grantor shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to thisSubsection 4.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the obligations.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of thisSubsection 4.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be promptly remitted by Lender to Grantor, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.

If Lender is advised by its counsel that the payment of tax by Grantor would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or
39
provide the basis for a defense of usury, then Lender shall have the option to declare the Secured Obligations immediately due and payable (a “Tax Change Acceleration”) by giving Grantor not less than ninety (90) days’ written notice of such Tax Change Acceleration.

In the case of estoppel certificates regarding the HGSI Lease, such estoppel certificates shall be in the same form as submitted to Lender in connection with the execution of this Security Instrument.

(viii) A person or entity associated with New Grantor approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion (a “New Guarantor”) agrees to be liable for the obligations of the current guarantor or indemnitor under the Key Principal Guaranty, the Indemnity Agreement and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement by executing a new guaranty, indemnity agreement and environmental indemnity agreement in substantially similar form to any such existing agreements, Lender shall release Grantor from its obligations arising under the Loan Documents on and after the date of such new guaranty, indemnity agreement, and environmental indemnity agreement, and any current guarantor from its obligations under any guaranty or environmental indemnity agreement as to acts or events or omissions occurring or obligations arising after the date of the assumption, provided however such release shall not apply to any acts or events or omissions which occurred prior to the date of the assumption of the Secured Obligations, whether or not the effects of or damages from such acts or events or omissions are apparent or ascertainable as of the date of such assumption;
(ix) Lender has reasonably determined that New Grantor is in compliance with the covenants set forth in this Security Instrument, including the covenants inSection 4.3 hereof and the New Borrower is in compliance with the special purpose entity covenants in the Borrower’s Certificate and Agreement;

44

(j) apply any sums then deposited in the Impound Account and any other sums held in escrow or otherwise by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument or any Loan Document to which Grantor is a party to the payment of the following items in any order that Lender may determine:

49
(k) surrender the Policies maintained pursuant toArticle 3 hereof, collect the unearned Insurance Premiums and apply such sums as a credit to the Secured Obligations in such priority and proportion as Lender shall deem proper, and in connection therewith, Grantor hereby appoints Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact (which is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) for Grantor to collect such Insurance Premiums;

Grantor agrees that if Lender accelerates the whole or any part of the principal sum evidenced by the Note and/or guaranteed by the Indemnity Guaranty after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or applies any proceeds as if such application had been made as a result of such acceleration pursuant to the provisions hereof, then unless and until Lender subsequently waives such Event of Default in writing or unless such reinstatement is required by applicable law, Grantor waives any right to prepay the principal sum guaranteed by the Indemnity Guaranty in whole or in part without premium.
Grantor, in accordance with the provisions of the General Laws of the State of Maryland, the Maryland Rules of Procedure, or any other general or local laws of the State of Maryland relating to mortgages and deeds of trusts, including any amendments, supplements, or additions thereto, does hereby: (1) declare its assent to the passing of a decree for the sale of the Property at any time after the recording of this Security Instrument, such sale to take place after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as herein provided; (2) authorize the Trustees or its duly authorized attorney, after any such default shall have occurred, to sell the Property. Such sale may be of the Property as a whole and it shall not be the duty of the party selling to sell the same in parts or in lots but such party may do so. The sale shall be made after publishing notice of time, place and terms of sale at least once a week for three (3) successive weeks, the first publication shall be given not less than 15 days prior to sale and the last publication not more than one (1) week prior to sale, in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the foreclosure action is pending. The party selling shall also give such other notice as required by law and as he may deem expedient; and the terms of the sale may be all cash on ratification of the sale or such other terms as the party selling may deem expedient.
Trustee may postpone such sale from time to time by giving notice of such postponement in the same manner in which any original notice of sale was given or by an announcement or proclamation made to the persons assembled at the time and place previously appointed and noticed for such sale or postponed sale, and on the date of such sale or the date to which such sale may have been postponed Trustee may sell the Property to the highest bidder. Lender or its agents may bid and purchase at such sale. Trustee in conducting said sale may act either in
50
person or through the agency of an auctioneer and may establish as one of the conditions of such sale that all bids and payments for said Property be made in cash. In addition to the foregoing, the Trustee is hereby authorized to disclose in any public notice of sale that such sale of the Property shall be made subject to one or more of the tenancies entered into subsequent to the recording of this Security Instrument, or otherwise subordinated thereto, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 — 105(f)(2) of the Real Property Article of the Maryland Code, as may be amended from time to time.
Upon such sale, Trustee shall make, execute, and after due payment is made, deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a deed or deeds for the Security Instrument or part thereof sold. On any sale of the Property hereunder, whether under the above assent to a decree or under the above power of sale or otherwise, the proceeds of sale shall be applied as follows: first to the payment of all expenses incident to the sale, including attorneys’ fees and costs rendered to the Trustee in connection with its duties hereunder and any commission due any auctioneer which calls the sale (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law or rule); and also a commission to the party making the sale equal to the lesser of (i) 2.5% of the successful bid amount, or (ii) the commission allowed Trustees for making sales of property under a decree of court of equity in the State of Maryland; second, to the payment of all claims of Lender hereunder, whether the same shall have been matured or not including interest thereon until final ratification of the auditor’s report; and third, the balance, if any, to Grantor. It is agreed that half of the above commissions and all of the above costs and expenses shall be paid by Grantor in the event the mortgage debt is paid in full after any advertisement of the Property but before any sale thereof.
In the event of such a sale of the Property or any part thereof and the execution of a deed or deeds therefor under these trusts, any recital therein of the occurrence of an Event of Default or of the giving or recording of any notice or demand by Trustee or Lender regarding such sale shall be conclusive proof thereof, and the receipt of the purchase money recited therein shall fully discharge the purchaser from any obligation for the proper application of the proceeds of sale in accordance with these trusts.
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority. Notwithstanding the provisions of thisSection 11.1 to the contrary, if any Event of Default as described inSubsection 10.1(h)(i) or(ii) shall occur, the entire unpaid indebtedness secured by the Indemnity Guaranty and Grantor’s obligations under this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall be automatically due and payable, without any further notice, demand or other action by Lender.
SECTION 11.2. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS IN CONNECTION WITH EXERCISE OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. The purchase money proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Property, or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Indemnity Guaranty, this Security Instrument or the Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.
51
SECTION 11.3. LENDER RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and while such Event of Default is continuing Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Grantor and without releasing Grantor from any obligation hereunder, cure the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to any rights of tenants under the Leases and the rights of the University of Maryland under the Right of Entry Agreement, Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Secured Obligations, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in thisSection 11.3, shall constitute a portion of the indebtedness secured by the Indemnity Guaranty and Grantor’s obligations under this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Secured Obligations and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
SECTION 11.4. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Grantor, that Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property.
SECTION 11.5. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums that constitute a part of the Secured Obligations as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Secured Obligations shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Grantor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
SECTION 11.6. EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right upon prior written notice to examine the records, books, management and other papers Borrower or Grantor which reflect upon their financial condition, at the Property or at the office where the books and records are located. Lender and its agents shall have the right upon notice to make copies and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers. In addition, Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine and audit the books and records of Grantor pertaining to the income, expenses and operation of the Property during reasonable business hours at any office where the books and records are located. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall exercise its rights under thisSection 11.6 once per calendar year.
SECTION 11.7. OTHER RIGHTS, ETC.
52
(a) The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Grantor shall not be relieved of Grantor’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Grantor to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Indemnity Guaranty or the Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Secured Obligations.
(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Grantor, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Lender’s possession.
(c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Secured Obligations to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Secured Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
SECTION 11.8. LENDER RIGHT TO RELEASE. Lender may release any portion of the Property or any portion of the Secured Obligations for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Property or the Secured Obligations, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property.
SECTION 11.9. RIGHT OF ENTRY. Subject to the right of tenants under Leases and the rights of the University of Maryland under the Right of Entry Agreement, Lender and its agents shall have the right upon prior written notice to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times upon notice to Grantor.
SECTION 11.10. RIGHTS PERTAINING TO SALES. The following provisions shall, to the extent permitted by law, apply to any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Property under or by virtue of this Security Instrument, whether under any power of sale
53
herein granted or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale:
(a) Trustee (for purposes of thisSubsection 11.10 only, the term “Trustee” shall be interpreted to include any public officer or other person having the responsibility to conduct any sale of all or part of the Property pursuant to this Security Instrument) may conduct any number of sales from time to time. The power of sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more of such sales as to any part of the Property that has not been sold or by any sale that is not completed or is defective until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
(b) Any sale may be postponed or adjourned by public announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such postponed or adjourned sale, and such sale may be completed at the time and place so announced without further notice.
(c) Lender is hereby appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Grantor, which appointment is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, in Grantor’s name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Property and rights so sold, and for that purpose Lender may execute all necessary instruments to accomplish the same, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, and Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms all that said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue thereof. Nevertheless, Grantor, if requested by Lender, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Lender or such purchaser or purchasers, as applicable, all such instruments as may be advisable, in Lender’s judgment, for the purposes designated in such request.
(d) Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any of the instruments referred to inSubsection 11.10(c) given by Lender concerning nonpayment of the Secured Obligations, occurrence of any Event of Default, any declaration by Lender that all or any of the Secured Obligations is due and payable, any request to sell, any representation that notice of time, place and terms of sale and property or rights to be sold was duly given, or that any other act or thing was duly done by Lender, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited absent manifest error.
(e) The receipt by Trustee of the purchase money paid at any such sale, or the receipt of any other person authorized to give the same, shall be sufficient discharge therefor to any purchaser of any property or rights sold as aforesaid, and no purchaser, or its representatives, grantees or assigns, after paying such purchase price and receiving such receipt, shall be bound to see to the application of such purchase price or any part thereof upon or for any trust or purpose of this Security Instrument or, in any manner whatsoever, be answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application of any such purchase money, or part thereof, or be bound to inquire as to the authorization, necessity, expediency or regularity of any such sale.
(f) Any such sale or sales shall operate to divest all of the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Grantor in and to
54
the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor and any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, by, through or under Grantor to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(g) Upon any such sale or sales, Lender may bid for and acquire the Property and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the Secured Obligations the amount of the bid made therefor, after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale, the cost of any enforcement proceeding hereunder and any other sums that Lender is authorized to charge to Grantor under the terms of the Indemnity Guaranty, this Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document to which Grantor is a party to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid.
(h) If Grantor, or any person claiming by, through or under Grantor, shall transfer or refuse or fail to surrender possession of the Property after any sale thereof, then Grantor or such person shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser at such sale, subject to eviction by means of unlawful detainer proceedings or other appropriate proceedings, and to any other right or remedy available hereunder or under applicable law.
(i) Upon any such sale, it shall not be necessary for Trustee, Lender or any public officer acting under execution or order of court to have present or constructively in its possession any or all of the Property.
(j) In the event of any sale referred to in thisSection 11.10, the entire Secured Obligations, if not previously due and payable, immediately thereupon shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Loan Document, become due and payable.
(k) This instrument shall be effective as a mortgage. If a sale hereunder shall be commenced by Trustee, Lender may, at any time before the sale of the Property, direct the Trustee to abandon the sale, and may institute suit for the collection of the Secured Obligations or part thereof and for the foreclosure of this Security Instrument. If Lender shall institute suit for the collection of the Secured Obligations part thereof, and for the foreclosure of this Security Instrument, Lender may at any time before the entry of final judgment in said suit dismiss the same (or part thereof) and direct the Trustee to sell the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Security Instrument. Lender may pursue its rights and remedies against any guarantor or other party liable for any of the obligations in such a suit for foreclosure or by separate suit, whether or not the Trustee is also pursuing a sale under the terms hereof.
SECTION 11.11. RIGHT TO RELEASE INFORMATION. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may forward to any broker, prospective purchaser of the Property or the Loan, or other person or entity all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Secured Obligations, Grantor, the Property and any other matter in connection with the Secured Obligations, whether furnished by Grantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable in connection with Lender’s rights under this Security Instrument. Grantor irrevocably
55

SECTION 16.2. USURY LAWS. This Security Instrument and the Indemnity Guaranty are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Grantor be obligated or required to pay interest on the Secured Obligations at a rate which could subject the holder of the Secured Obligations to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Grantor is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Security Instrument or the Indemnity Guaranty, Grantor is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Secured Obligations at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of Secured Obligations. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Secured Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Secured Obligations until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Secured Obligations does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Secured Obligations for so long as the Secured Obligations is outstanding.

ARTICLE 17 — SECONDARY MARKET
SECTION 17.1. TRANSFER OF LOAN. Lender may at any time, (a) sell, transfer or assign the Indemnity Guaranty, this Security Instrument, and the other Loan Documents (a “Loan Sale”), (b) any or all servicing rights with respect thereto (“Servicing Rights Transfers”), (c) grant participations therein (“Participations”), or (d) issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities (“Securities”) evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (a “Securitization”). Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, or investor (including any broker or authorized representative thereof) in such Loan Sale, Servicing Rights Transfers, Participations or Securities (collectively, the “Investor”) or any of Fitch IBCA, Inc., Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Division of McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. or any successor thereto, and any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization rating such Securities, each prospective Investor, and any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information that Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Secured Obligations, Grantor, Borrower, the Property and any other matter relating to the Loan, whether furnished by Grantor, Borrower or otherwise, as Lender reasonably determines necessary or desirable. Grantor
60
irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to limit or prevent such disclosure, including any right of privacy or any claims arising therefrom. Lender shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Loan Sale, Servicing Rights Transfer, Participation or Securitization pursuant to thisArticle 17.
SECTION 17.2. SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS. Lender shall have the right to engage in one or more Secondary Market Transactions (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the Loan, and to structure and restructure all or any part of the Loan, including in multiple tranches, as a wraparound loan, or for inclusion in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” (a “REMIC”) within the meaning of Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or other Securitization. Without limitation, Lender shall have the right to cause the Secured Obligations and the Security Instrument to be split into a first and a second mortgage loan, or into one or more loans secured by mortgages in whatever proportion Lender determines, and thereafter to engage in Secondary Market Transactions with respect to all or any part of the indebtedness and loan documentation. Grantor acknowledges that it is the intention of the parties that all or a portion of the Loan will be securitized and that all or a portion of the Loan will be rated by one or more Rating Agencies. Grantor further acknowledges that additional structural modifications may be required to satisfy issues raised by any Rating Agencies. As used herein, “Secondary Market Transaction” means any of (i) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of all or any portion of the Secured Obligations or the Loan Documents or any interest therein to one or more Investors, (ii) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of one or more participation interests in the Secured Obligations or Loan Documents to one or more Investors, (iii) the transfer or deposit of all or any portion of the Secured Obligations or Loan Documents to or with one or more trusts or other entities which may sell certificates or other instruments to Investors evidencing an ownership interest in the assets of such trust or the right to receive income or proceeds therefrom or (iv) any other Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan or any interest therein.
SECTION 17.3. COOPERATION; LIMITATIONS. Grantor shall cooperate in good faith with Lender in effecting any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction. Such cooperation shall include executing and delivering such amendments to the Loan Documents and the organizational documents of Grantor and any constituent entities as Lender or any Rating Agency, purchaser; transferee, assignee, trustee, servicer or potential Investor (the Rating Agencies and all of the foregoing parties are herein collectively referred to as “Interested Parties”) may request, provided however, that no such amendment shall modify (i) the interest rate payable under the Secured Obligations (except as set forth inSection 17.5); (ii) the stated maturity date of the Secured Obligations, (iii) the amortization of the principal amount of the Secured Obligations, (iv) any other material economic terms of the Secured Obligations, (v) the non-recourse provisions of the Secured Obligations or (vi) any provision, the effect of which would materially increase Grantor’s and Borrower’s obligations or materially decrease Grantor’s and Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents. Such cooperation also shall include using best efforts to obtain such certificates and assurances from governmental entities and others as Lender may request. Grantor shall not be required to provide additional collateral that was not initially contemplated by the parties to effect any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction. Grantor shall not be required to pay any third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction unless otherwise payable by Grantor under this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.
61
SECTION 17.4. INFORMATION. Grantor, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide such access to personnel and such information and documents relating to Grantor, its constituent persons or entities, the Property (subject to the terms of the Leases provided no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing) and the business and operations of all of the foregoing and such opinions of counsel (including Non-Consolidation Opinions) as Lender, any Rating Agency or any other Interested Party may request (and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and each Interested Party) in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction including updated financial information, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations together with appropriate verification of such updated information and reports through letters of auditors and consultants and, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, updated representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as any Rating Agency or other Interested Party may request. If requested by any Rating Agency or required by Lender, provide revisions or “bringdowns” to any opinions delivered at Closing (including Non-Consolidation Opinions), or if required new versions of such opinions, addressed to Lender, any trustee under any Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan, any Rating Agency that assigns a rating to any securities in connection therewith and any investor purchasing securities therein. Lender shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms, other third party advisory firms, potential investors, servicers and other service providers and other parties involved in any proposed Secondary Market Transaction. Grantor understands that any such information may be incorporated into any offering circular, prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering documents for any Secondary Market Transaction. Lender and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms and investors shall be entitled to rely upon such information.
SECTION 17.5. SEVERANCE. In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Grantor shall, at the request of Lender and at its sole cost and expense (a) sever the Secured Obligations into two or more portions in such individual amounts as Lender may determine, each of which portion shall be secured by a mortgage lien on the Property (“Loan Splitting”) or (b) sever the Secured Obligations into two or more tranches in such individual amounts as Lender may determine (“Loan Tranching”; Loan Splitting and Loan Tranching are collectively referred to herein as a “Conversion”). To effectuate a Loan Split, Grantor, as applicable, shall, upon written request of Lender, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes, guarantees and security instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid principal amount of the Secured Obligations, and containing terms, provisions and clauses no less favorable to Grantor than those contained herein and in the Indemnity Guaranty, and such other documents and instruments as may be required by Lender to effect the splitting of the Loan Documents. Any such Loan Tranching shall be evidenced by Lender’s then standard form “A/B Loan”. Any Conversion shall not preclude any further Conversion or modification of the Secured Obligations by agreement of Grantor and Lender. In the event any portion of the Secured Obligations is converted into an “A/B Loan”, the interest rate on any one or more components of the Secured Obligations may be changed at Lender’s request provided that the weighted average interest rate of all components of the Secured Obligations shall in no event exceed the interest rate set forth in the Secured Obligations. Grantor shall cooperate with all of Lender’s requests made in
62
connection with a Conversion and shall deliver such documents as Lender may reasonably request in connection therewith, including any opinion letters which Lender may request, all of which shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender. The aggregate of the principal amount of all such portions shall in no event exceed the then principal balance of the Secured Obligations.
ARTICLE 18 — COSTS
SECTION 18.1. ORIGINATION, ADMINISTRATION, ENFORCEMENT, AND DEFENSE EXPENSES. Grantor shall pay Lender, on demand, all Administration and Enforcement Expenses (as hereinafter defined) now or hereafter incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid or incurred by Lender until such fees and expenses are paid by Grantor, whether or not an Event of Default then exists. For the purpose of this Security Instrument, “Administration and Enforcement Expenses” shall mean all fees and expenses incurred at any time or from time to time by Lender, including reasonable legal (whether for the purpose of advice, negotiation, documentation, defense, enforcement or otherwise), accounting, financial advisory, auditing, rating agency, appraisal, valuation, title or title insurance, engineering, environmental, collection agency, or other expert or consulting or similar services, in connection with: (a) the origination of the Secured Obligations, including the negotiation and preparation of this Security Instrument, any other Loan Document and any amendments or modifications of the Secured Obligations or the Loan Documents, whether or not consummated; (b) the administration, servicing or enforcement of the Secured Obligations or the Loan Documents, including any request for interpretation or modification of the Loan Documents or any matter related to the Secured Obligations or the servicing thereof (which shall include the consideration of any requests for consents, waivers, modifications, approvals, lease reviews or similar matters and any proposed transfer of the Property or any interest therein), (c) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, arbitration, mediation, proceeding or action (whether instituted by or against Lender, including actions brought by or on behalf of Grantor or Grantor’s bankruptcy estate or any indemnitor or guarantor of the Secured Obligations or any other person) in any way relating to the Secured Obligations or the Loan Documents including in connection with any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, or receivership proceeding; (d) any attempt to enforce any rights of Lender against Grantor or any other person that may be obligated to Lender by virtue of any Loan Document or otherwise whether or not litigation is commenced in pursuance of such rights; and (e) protection, enforcement against, or liquidation of the Property or any other collateral Secured Obligations, including any attempt to inspect, verify, preserve, restore, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Indemnity Guaranty, the Property or any other collateral for the Secured Obligations. All Administration and Enforcement Expenses shall be additional indebtedness included as part of the Secured Obligations hereunder secured by the Property, and may be funded, if Lender so elects, by Lender paying the same to the appropriate persons and thus making an advance on Grantor’s behalf. Grantor further acknowledges and confirms that it shall be responsible for the payment of all costs of reappraisal of the Property or any part thereof, whether required by law, regulation, Lender or any governmental or quasi-governmental authority. Wherever it is provided for herein that Grantor pay any costs and expenses, such costs and expenses shall include all legal fees and disbursements of Lender, whether of retained firms, the reimbursement for the expenses of in-house staff or otherwise.
