(g) If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Grantor shall give prompt notice of such damage to Beneficiary and, at the election of Grantor, either redeem Notes in the principal amount equal to the Net Proceeds payable in connection with such fire or other casualty, or shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the 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 Beneficiary (the “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance withSection 4.2 of this Security Instrument; it being understood, however, that if Grantor elects to restore the Property, Grantor shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to any casualty or other damage or injury to the Property if the restoration or repair to be performed shall have no material effect on the fair market value of the Property as compared to the fair market value of the Property if the same had been restored or repaired to its precise condition immediately prior to such taking or casualty. If Grantor elects to restore the Property, Grantor shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance.

Grantor will deliver to Beneficiary, within ten (10)
-7-
days of a request by Beneficiary’s, evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary that the Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges have been so paid, are not then delinquent or are being contested. Upon request of Beneficiary, Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent, unless the same are being contested in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b) After prior written notice to Beneficiary, 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 or Other Charges, provided that (i) no Event of Default (as defined inArticle 9) 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 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, and (v) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

Grantor, within ten (10) days of becoming aware of the institution of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, shall notify Beneficiary of the pendency of such proceedings, and shall deliver to Beneficiary copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise, the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by Beneficiary, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Grantor shall, at its option, either redeem Notes in the principal amount equal to the Net Proceeds (as defined inSection 4.2(b)) payable in connection with such condemnation, or promptly commence and diligently prosecute the restoration of the Property in accordance with, and otherwise comply with the provisions of,Section 4.2. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Beneficiary of the award or payment, Beneficiary shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Indenture shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to redeem the Notes and repay and other outstanding Debt.
3.6Leases and Rents. No future Lease shall be executed without Beneficiary’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon request, Grantor shall furnish Beneficiary with executed copies of all Leases. All future Leases shall provide that they are subordinate to this Security Instrument and that the lessee shall attorn to the Beneficiary, and by acceptance of this Security Instrument, Beneficiary agrees to enter into a customary non-disturbance agreement with the tenant under any such future Lease, which agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary.
3.7Maintenance of Property. Grantor shall cause the Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. The Improvements shall not be removed or demolished without the consent of Beneficiary. Grantor shall, in accordance with prudent business practices, repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be
-8-
destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated, or which may be affected by 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.
3.8Waste. Grantor shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Property 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.
3.9Compliance With Laws. Grantor shall comply in all material respects with all existing and future federal, state and local laws, orders, ordinances, governmental rules and regulations or court orders affecting or which may be interpreted to affect the Property, or the use thereof (“Applicable Laws”).

15.2Usury Laws. This Security Instrument and the Indenture are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Grantor be obligated or required to pay interest on the Debt at a rate which could subject the holder of the Indenture 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 Indenture, Grantor is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Debt at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the Security Instrument and the Indenture 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 the principal balance of the Indenture. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Beneficiary for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Indenture until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.
