All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in (a) the Note and (b) all and any of the documents, other than the Note and this Security Instrument, now or hereafter executed by Borrower and/or others and by or in favor of Lender, which wholly or partially secure or guaranty payment of the Note or are otherwise executed and delivered in connection with the Loan (such other documents, together with any and all extensions, renewals, substitutions, replacements, amendments, modifications and/or restatements thereof, the "OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS"), are hereby made a part of this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein. -8- 17 Section 3.3 Insurance. (a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages: (i) comprehensive "all risk" insurance on the Improvements and the Personal Property, in each case (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the "FULL REPLACEMENT COST," which for purposes of this Security Instrument shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation, but the amount shall in no event be less than the outstanding principal balance of the Note; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $100,000; and (D) providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements together with an "Ordinance or Law Coverage" or "Enforcement" endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. The Full Replacement Cost shall be redetermined from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any twelve (12) calendar months) at the request of Lender by an appraiser or contractor designated and paid by Borrower and approved by Lender, or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer. After the first appraisal, additional appraisals may be based on construction cost indices customarily employed in the trade. No omission on the part of Lender to request any such ascertainment shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Subsection; (ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called "occurrence" form with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until reasonably required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an "if any" basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all written and oral contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 13 hereof to the extent the same is available; (iii) loss of rents insurance (A) with loss payable jointly to Lender and Borrower as their interests appear; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in Subsection 3.3(a)(i); (C) in an amount such that the projected gross income from the Property (as reduced to reflect expenses not incurred during a period of Restoration) is paid during the entire period that it takes to restore the physical loss to the Improvements and the Personal Property; and (D) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and the Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income returns to the same level it was prior to the loss, or the expiration of eighteen (18) months from the date of the completion of Restoration, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such loss of rents insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower's reasonable -9- 18 estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding twenty-four month period. All insurance proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this Subsection 3.3(a)(iii) shall be deposited into the Lockbox Account and disbursed in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement; provided, however, that if such insurance proceeds are disbursed to Lender in an amount representing losses for a period in excess of one (1) month, then such insurance proceeds shall be held by Lender and applied in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement on a monthly basis in the amount attributed to the related month by the insurance company providing such loss of rents insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subsection 3.3(a)(iii), Borrower shall not be deemed relieved of its obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents insurance; (iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements (A) owner's contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in Subsection 3.3(a)(i) written in a so-called builder's risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to Subsection 3.3(a)(i), (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement or endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions; (v) workers' compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which the Property is located, and employer's liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000 per accident and per disease per employee, and $1,000,000 for disease aggregate in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable); (vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender; (vii) if any portion of the Improvements is at any time located in an area identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any successor thereto as an area having special flood hazards pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, or any successor law (the "FLOOD INSURANCE ACTS"), flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the principal balance of the Note, and (B) the maximum limit of coverage available for the Property under the Flood Insurance Acts; (viii) earthquake, sinkhole and mine subsidence insurance, if required, in amounts, form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, provided that the insurance pursuant to this Subsection (viii) shall be on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy required under Subsection 3.3(a)(i); (ix) umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000) per occurrence on terms consistent with the -10- 19 commercial general liability insurance policy required under Subsection 3.3(a)(ii) above; and (x) such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located. (b) All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.3(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the "POLICIES" or in the singular, the "POLICY"), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may from time to time be satisfactory to Lender, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located and reasonably approved by Lender (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a "QUALIFIED INSURER"). The insurance companies must have a general policy rating of A or better and a financial class of IX or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. and a claims paying ability rating of "AA" (or its equivalent) or better by at least two (2) of the credit rating agencies (each a "RATING AGENCY") rating the Securities (one of which will be Standard & Poor's if they are rating the Securities and one of which shall be Moody's Investors Service, Inc. if they are rating the Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Subsection 3.3(a), certified copies of the Policies or renewal certificates of insurance marked "premium paid" or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS"), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender; provided, however, that in the case of renewal Policies, Borrower may furnish Lender with binders therefor to be followed by the certified copies of the Policies when issued. (c) Borrower shall be permitted to obtain the insurance required pursuant to this Security Instrument by the use of an umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy, provided that, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and Lender's interest is included therein as provided in this Security Instrument and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer. Except to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.3(a) hereof, Borrower shall not obtain separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 3.3(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Subsection 3.3(a). Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Subsection 3.3(a). (d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Subsection 3.3(a), except for the Policy referenced in Subsection 3.3(a)(v), shall name Lender as an additional insured and Borrower as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, and flood insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in -11- 20 favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable jointly to Lender and Borrower as their interests may appear. (e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Subsection 3.3(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that: (i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; (ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days' written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an insured; and (iii) each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed ten (10) days prior to its expiration; and (iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder. (f) Borrower shall furnish to Lender annually upon request by Lender, a statement certified by Borrower or a duly authorized officer of Borrower of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender. (g) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, with notice to Borrower to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as described in this Security Instrument, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by this Security Instrument and shall bear interest in accordance with Section 10.3 hereof. (h) If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in material part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property (other than tenant improvements required to be restored by tenants pursuant to their Leases) and shall cause any tenants under Leases at the Property to repair and restore any tenant improvements damaged by such fire or other casualty to the extent such tenant is required to perform such repair or restoration pursuant to the applicable Lease, 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 approved by Lender (the "CASUALTY RESTORATION") and otherwise in -12- 21 accordance with Section 4.4 of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Casualty Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. (i) In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instrument 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 the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest exclusively in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title. Section 3.4 Payment of Taxes, Etc. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.4(b) below, Borrower shall promptly pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges, including without limitation 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 sums 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. Borrower will deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lender's request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged of record (or bonded and discharged of record) any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property. 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, Borrower shall furnish to Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date any interest, penalties or additional fees are due in connection with any non-payment of such Taxes and Other Charges. (b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, 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 has occurred and is continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents, (ii) Borrower is not restricted from doing 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 or Other Charges, as applicable, from Borrower and from the Property or Borrower shall have paid all of the Taxes or Other Charges, as applicable, under protest, (iv) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (v) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in any imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost and,(vi) Borrower shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender (but without duplication of amounts paid pursuant to clause (iii) above), to insure the payment of any contested Taxes or Other Charges, as applicable, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Section 3.5 Escrow Fund. In addition to the initial deposits with respect to Taxes and Insurance Premiums made by Borrower to Lender on the date hereof to be held by Lender in escrow, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the tenth day of each calendar month (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated -13- 22 by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) at the option of Lender, if the liability or casualty Policy maintained by Borrower covering the Property shall not constitute an approved blanket or umbrella Policy pursuant to Subsection 3.3(c) hereof, one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (any initial deposits plus the amounts in (a) and (b) above shall be called the "ESCROW FUND"). In the event Lender shall elect to collect payments in escrow for Insurance Premiums, Borrower shall pay to Lender an initial deposit to be determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, to increase the amounts in the Escrow Fund to an amount which, together with anticipated monthly escrow payments, shall be sufficient to pay all Insurance Premiums and Taxes as they become due. Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has or obtains knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes and Other Charges directly from the appropriate taxing authority. The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Provided that there are sufficient amounts in the Escrow Fund and no Event of Default exists, Lender will apply the Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof, Lender shall pursuant to a written request from Borrower, after determining, in its reasonable discretion, the sufficient amount necessary to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums when due, return any excess to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall reasonably estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. Borrower shall pay Lender the sum of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) per year for the servicing of the Escrow Fund and all other accounts established pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement. Such sum shall be deducted from the interest income earned on the Escrow Account, if any, and to the extent such interest income shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly on demand by Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.5, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower's obligations to make payments to the Escrow Fund shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that sufficient funds are deposited in the Lockbox Account to satisfy such obligations on the date such payment is required, regardless of whether any such amounts are so applied by Lender. Section 3.6 Condemnation. Borrower 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. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), and whether or not any Award (as defined herein) is made available to the Borrower for Restoration in accordance with Section 4.4, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Security Instrument and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor (an "AWARD") shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest -14- 23 paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. Borrower shall cause the Award to be paid directly to Lender, which Lender will disburse or apply to the Debt pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof. If the Award is to be used to reduce or discharge the debt pursuant to Section 4.4, Lender may apply the Award to the reduction or discharge of the Debt whether or not then due and payable. In the event that the Property, or any portion thereof is taken by any condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property (other than tenant improvements required to be restored by tenants pursuant to their Leases) and shall cause any tenants under Leases at the Property to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property to the extent such tenant is required to perform such restoration, repair or replacement pursuant to the applicable Lease, in a workman-like manner to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding (the "CONDEMNATION RESTORATION"; the Casualty Restoration and the Condemnation Restoration collectively referred to as the "RESTORATION") in accordance with all Applicable Laws (as hereinafter defined) affecting the use, repair and restoration of the Property. If the Property is sold in a foreclosure, or by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. Section 3.7 Leases and Rents. (a) Borrower shall, or shall cause the Manager (hereinafter defined) to, manage and operate the Property in a prudent manner. Borrower may enter into a proposed Lease (including the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a "RENEWAL LEASE") without the prior written consent of Lender, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease is not an Anchor Lease or a Major Lease (a "NON-MAJOR LEASE") and satisfies the following: (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the date such Lease or Renewal Lease is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arms-length transaction with a bona-fide, independent third party tenant, (iii) does not in any other respect have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property or Lender's interest under this Security Instrument, and (iv) is subject and subordinate to this Security Instrument or will be subject and subordinate upon execution of an SNDA (defined below), reasonably acceptable to Lender, and the lessee thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender; provided, however, the requirement set forth in this clause (iv) shall not be applicable to a Renewal Lease which exists as of the date hereof which by its terms is not self-subordinating. All proposed Leases which do not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Subsection 3.7(a) shall be subject to the prior reasonable approval of Lender and its counsel. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender (to the extent not previously delivered) copies of all Leases and Renewal Leases which are entered into pursuant to this subsection, together with Borrower's certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this subsection. (b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform in all material respects all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower shall send or receive under any Anchor Leases or Major Leases; (iii) shall enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed; (iv) shall not collect -15- 24 any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (except security deposits shall not be deemed Rents collected in advance); (v) shall not execute any other assignment of the lessor's interest in any of the Leases or the Rents except in connection with the Debt; and (vi) shall not consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Anchor Leases or Major Leases not in accordance with their terms, without the prior written consent of Lender which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall deliver to Lender within five (5) Business Days after Borrower receives or delivers the same, a copy of each notice of default or termination that Borrower receives or delivers in connection with any Major Lease. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Lender upon the request of Lender a copy of each notice of default or termination that Borrower receives or delivers in connection with any Lease other than a Major Lease. (c) Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, amend, modify or waive the provisions of any Non-Major Lease or reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Non-Major Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect thereto), provided that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination, reduction in rent, surrender of space or shortening of term, and the planned alternative use of the affected space) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property and provided that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Security Instrument and any subordination agreement binding upon Lender with respect to such Lease. Borrower may without Lender's consent terminate a Non-Major Lease for which a tenant has defaulted beyond notice and cure periods. Any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this subsection shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel, at Borrower's expense. (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not, without the prior written reasonable consent of Lender, enter into, renew or extend (except in accordance with the terms of the Lease), amend, modify, waive any provisions of, terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of any Anchor Lease or any Major Lease. The term "ANCHOR LEASE" shall mean (i) the Sears Lease or any Lease covering the entire premises currently leased to Sears, and (ii) any instrument guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Anchor Lease. The term "MAJOR LEASE" shall mean any Lease which (A) provides for rental income representing five percent (5%) or more of the total rental income for the Property, (B) covers ten thousand square feet (10,000 s.f.) or more of the total leased space at the Property, in the aggregate, or (C) provides for a lease term of more than twenty (20) years including options to renew. Any instrument guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Major Lease shall also be considered a Major Lease for the purposes of this Security Instrument. (e) Any fee or payment received by Borrower in connection with a termination or surrender of all or any part of a Lease shall be paid to Lender and held and disbursed by Lender pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Tenant Improvement and Leasing Commission Reserve and Security Agreement executed as of the date hereof between Borrower and Lender. (f) Borrower shall not receive or collect, or permit the receipt or collection of, any rental or other payments under any Lease more than one (1) month in advance of the period -16- 25 in respect of which they are to accrue, except that (i) in connection with the execution and delivery of any Lease or of any amendment to any Lease, rental payments thereunder may be collected and received in advance in an amount not in excess of one (1) month's rent and a security deposit (including advance rents as or in lieu of a security deposit) may be required thereunder (provided that such deposits are maintained in accordance with applicable law and in accordance with Subsection 3.7(i) hereof), and (ii) Borrower may receive and collect escalation, percentage rent, additional rent and other charges in accordance with the terms of each Lease. (g) Borrower shall not enter into any Lease after the date hereof that does not contain a provision whereby the tenant agrees at the request and option of Lender either (i) that its Lease shall be subordinate to this Security Instrument and that the tenant shall attorn under the Lease to any entity obtaining title to the Property, which subordination and attornment may be conditioned on delivery of a reasonable and customary nondisturbance agreement, or (ii) that its Lease shall be senior to this Security Instrument and that the tenant shall attorn under the Lease to any entity obtaining title to the Property. Lender shall execute and deliver to the tenant under any Anchor Lease or Major Lease, or, at Borrower's request, any Non-Major Lease entered into in compliance with Section 3.7(a) which is actually approved or deemed approved by Lender, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an "SNDA") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, with such modifications as Lender may reasonably approve within fifteen (15) Business Days after such tenant's execution and delivery of the same, provided, that (A) Borrower has delivered the related Lease or Renewal Lease to Lender on or prior to the date that the tenant thereunder delivers to Lender the SNDA executed in connection therewith, and (B) no Event of Default exists hereunder, under the Note or under the Other Security Documents. (h) Borrower shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in connection with its review and approval required pursuant to this Section. (i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall promptly deposit with Lender any and all monies actually received by Borrower as security deposits under the Leases or credited to tenant by Borrower as a security deposit under a Lease or sums deposited by Tenants into controlled accounts for the limited purpose of funding Tenant improvements (the "SECURITY DEPOSITS"). Lender shall hold the Security Deposits in accordance with the terms of the respective Lease, and shall only release the Security Deposits in order to return a tenant's Security Deposit to such tenant if such tenant is entitled to the return of the Security Deposit under the terms of the Lease and is not otherwise in default under the Lease. To the extent required by Applicable Laws (defined below), Lender shall hold the Security Deposits in an interest bearing account selected by Lender in its sole discretion. In the event Lender is not permitted by law to hold the Security Deposits, Borrower shall deposit the Security Deposits into an account with a federally insured institution as approved by Lender.

(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower 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 (subject to applicable retainages), 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 -43- 52 or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever recorded against the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender 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.

After an Event of Default, Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications (whether or not approved in connection with the preceding sentence) and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $7,000,000, 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 acceptance (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) by Lender and the Casualty Consultant; which persons and contracts shall be deemed approved in the event that Lender shall not have notified Borrower in writing of its disapproval (together with a statement of the grounds of such disapproval) within thirty (30) days after Borrower has submitted the identity of such persons and such contracts to Lender for approval. Plans and specifications and/or identities and contracts submitted to Lender for its approval in accordance with this Subsection 4.4(b)(iii) shall be sent in an envelope labeled "PRIORITY" and shall state at the top of the first page in bold lettering "LENDER'S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A MORTGAGE BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER." All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant's fees, shall be paid by Borrower. (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 in connection with the Restoration, as certified by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the "CASUALTY CONSULTANT"), minus the Casualty Retainage. The term "CASUALTY RETAINAGE" as used in this Section 4.4 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 Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Net Proceeds representing fifty percent (50%) of the required Restoration have been disbursed. There shall be no Casualty Retainage with respect to costs actually incurred by Borrower for work in place in completing the last fifty percent (50%) of the required Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 4.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and -44- 53 materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 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 satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has substantially completed all work and has supplied all materials substantially 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 release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman. (v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. (vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower 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 solely for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.4, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Subsection 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 Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 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 remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents. (c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 4.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper or, at -45- 54 the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, (i) the lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt; and (ii) notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.3(h) and 3.6, Borrower shall not be required to repair or restore the Property to the condition or character the Property was in immediately prior to such casualty or condemnation so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing but Borrower shall be required to (A) remove all debris and repair or restore the Property to ensure that the Property is safe and not dangerous to health or other property and in compliance with all Applicable Laws, (B) repair or restore the property such that it is a functional commercial development similar in character to the use and operation of the Property prior to any such casualty or condemnation, (C) use commercial reasonable efforts to comply with the provision of Section 4.4(b) hereof to the extent possible. In connection with any Net Proceeds applied to the payment of the Debt, to the extent reasonable and at the cost and expense of Borrower (including all taxes, recording fees and other charges payable in connection with a assignment) and in compliance with all Applicable Laws, Lender shall cooperate with Borrower to split this Security Instrument in accordance with Section 7.6 and assign a portion of the Debt in order to save mortgage recording tax so long as any such assignment does not have a material adverse effect on the Property or the value of the Loan and that the Borrower complies with the conditions to an assignment in Section 22.8(A) to (F).
