C.S.A. Section 8143 electing to limit the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage. 5.2 Demand Obligation. 14 Nothing in this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to limit the applicability of any term of the Loan Documents providing for the payment of any Secured Obligations on demand. 6. REMEDIES 6.1 Rights and Remedies of Mortgagee. If an Event of Default occurs, Mortgagee may, at its option and notwithstanding any contrary provisions in the Loan Documents, without demand, notice or delay, do one or more of the following: (a) Mortgagee may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Secured Obligations, together with all interest thereon, to be due and payable immediately (and in the case of an Event of Default under subsection 5.1(f), (g) or (h), all such indebtedness shall automatically and immediately become due and payable without notice or any other act). (b) Mortgagee may (i) institute and maintain an action of mortgage foreclosure against the Mortgaged Property and the interests of Mortgagor therein, (ii) institute and maintain an action on any instruments evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, and (iii) take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents as the law may allow, and in each such action Mortgagee shall be entitled to all costs of suit and attorneys' fees. (c) Mortgagee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, and without releasing Mortgagor or any other obligor or guarantor from any obligation under any of the Loan Documents and without waiving any Event of Default: (i) collect any or all of the Rents, including any Rents past due and unpaid, (ii) perform any obligation or exercise any right or remedy of Mortgagor under any Lease, or (iii) enforce any obligation of any tenant of any of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee may exercise any right under this subsection (c) whether or not Mortgagee shall have entered into possession of any of the Mortgaged Property, and nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Mortgagee a "mortgagee in possession", unless Mortgagee shall have entered into and shall continue to be in actual possession of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs each and every present and future tenant of any of the Mortgaged Property to pay all Rents directly to Mortgagee and to perform all other obligations of that tenant for the direct benefit of Mortgagee, as if Mortgagee were the landlord under the Lease with that tenant, immediately upon receipt of a demand by Mortgagee to make such payment or perform such obligations. Mortgagor hereby waives any right, claim or demand it may now or hereafter have against any such tenant by reason of such payment of Rents or performance of obligations to Mortgagee, and any such payment or performance to Mortgagee shall discharge the obligations of the tenant to make such payment or performance to Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall indemnify Mortgagee and hold Mortgagee harmless from and against any and all claims, liability, damage, cost and expense (including attorneys' fees) which may be asserted against or incurred by Mortgagee by reason of any obligations of Mortgagor to perform any provision of any Lease. Mortgagee may apply the Rents received by Mortgagee to the payment of any one or more of the following, in such order and amounts as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect, whether or not the same be then due: the Secured Obligations, liens on any of the Mortgaged Property, Impositions, claims, insurance premiums, other carrying charges, invoices of persons who at any time have supplied goods or services to or for the benefit of any 15 of the Mortgaged Property, and all other costs and expenses of maintenance, repair, restoration, management, operation, ownership, use, leasing, occupancy, protection, security, insurance, alteration or improvement of any of the Mortgaged Property, costs of enforcing Mortgagee's rights under the Loan Documents, including any foreclosure sale hereunder, and including all attorneys' fees and costs. Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion, determine the method by which, and extent to which, the Rents will be collected and obligations of tenants enforced; and Mortgagee may waive or fail to perform or enforce any provision of any Lease. Mortgagee shall not be accountable for any Rents or other sums it does not actually receive. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact effective upon an Event of Default to perform all acts which Mortgagor is required or permitted to perform under any and all Leases. (d) Mortgagee may, without releasing Mortgagor or any obligor or guarantor of any of the Secured Obligations from any obligation under any of the Loan Documents and without waiving any Event of Default, enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, with or without legal action and by force if necessary, or have a receiver appointed without proof of depreciation or inadequacy of the value of the Mortgaged Property, the insolvency of Mortgagor, or any other proof. Mortgagee or said receiver may manage and operate the Mortgaged Property, make, cancel, enforce or modify the Leases or any of them, obtain and evict tenants, establish or change the amount of any Rents, and perform any acts and advance any sums which Mortgagee deems proper to protect the security of this Mortgage, all such sums to be payable on demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date of such demand, and such sums and interest to be secured by this Mortgage. (e) Mortgagee may take possession of the Equipment and Other Property, or any portion thereof, and may use and deal with the same to the same extent as Mortgagor is entitled to do so and may sell the same pursuant to law and exercise such other rights and remedies with respect to the same as may be provided by law, and file such continuation statements which it deems desirable. 6.2 Sale in Parcels or Units. In case any sale under this Mortgage occurs by virtue of judicial proceedings, the Mortgaged Property may be sold in one parcel or unit and as an entity, or in such parcels or units, and in such manner or order, as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect. 6.3 Confession of Judgment in Ejectment. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, without further notice, regardless of whether Mortgagee has asserted any other right or exercised any other remedy under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, it shall be lawful for any attorney licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as attorney for Mortgagor to confess judgment in ejectment against Mortgagor and all persons claiming under Mortgagor for the recovery by Mortgagee of possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, for which this Mortgage shall be sufficient warrant. If for any reason after such action shall have commenced the same shall be determined and the possession of the Mortgaged Property remain in or be restored to Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall have the right upon any subsequent default or defaults to bring one or more 16 amicable action or actions as hereinbefore set forth to recover possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property. 6.4 Remedies Cumulative. All remedies contained in this Mortgage are cumulative and Mortgagee also has all other remedies provided by law or in equity or in any of the other Loan Documents. No delay or failure by Mortgagee to exercise any right or remedy under this Mortgage will be construed to be a waiver of that right or remedy or a waiver of any Event of Default. Mortgagee may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies without regard to the adequacy of its security. One or more of the other Loan Documents may contain provisions pursuant to which all or a part of the Secured Obligations shall become immediately and automatically due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events described therein. Nothing in this Mortgage shall be construed as limiting the effectiveness of such provisions, and in the event of any inconsistency with the terms of this Mortgage, those provisions more advantageous to Mortgagee shall govern. 6.5 No Merger. (a) If Mortgagee or any other person or entity owning or holding this Mortgage shall acquire or shall become vested with the fee title to the Mortgaged Property or any other estate or interest in the Mortgaged Property, such estates shall not merge as a result of such acquisition and shall remain separate and distinct from all other estates and interests in the Mortgaged Property for all purposes after such acquisition. The lien and security interest created hereby shall not be destroyed or terminated by the application of the doctrine of merger and, in such event, Mortgagee nor such other person or entity shall continue to have and enjoy all of the rights and privileges of Mortgagee hereunder as to each separate estate unless and until Mortgagee nor such other person or entity shall affirmatively elect in writing to merge such estates. (b) Upon the foreclosure of the lien created hereby on the Mortgaged Property, as herein provided, any Leases then existing shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the doctrine of merger or by operation of law or as a result of such foreclosure unless Mortgagee or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale shall so elect by written notice to the lessee in question. (c) THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE MORTGAGOR AND THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE MORTGAGEE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SHALL CONTINUE AFTER AND SURVIVE THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER; IT BEING THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT SUCH RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT MERGE INTO OR BE EXTINGUISHED BY ANY SUCH JUDGMENT BUT SHALL CONTINUE UNTIL THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN IRREVOCABLY PAID IN FULL. 7. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS 7.1 Environmental Warranty. 17 Mortgagor hereby agrees that the Environmental Indemnity Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 8. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS 8.1 Installments for Insurance, Taxes and Other Charges. Without limiting the effect of any other provision of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall, if requested by Mortgagee, pay to Mortgagee monthly with Mortgagor's payment on the Note an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual premiums for the insurance policies referred to hereinabove and the annual Impositions and any other item which at any time may be or become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property (the "Escrow Charges"); and on demand from time to time Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee any additional sums necessary to pay when due all Escrow Charges. The amounts so paid shall be security for the Secured Obligations and shall be used in payment of the Escrow Charges so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred. No amount so paid to Mortgagee shall be deemed to be trust funds but may be commingled with general funds of Mortgagee, nor shall any sums paid bear interest. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right, at its election, to apply any amount so held against the Secured Obligations due and payable in such order as Mortgagee may deem fit, and Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee a lien upon and security interest in such amounts for such purpose. At Mortgagee's option, Mortgagee from time to time may waive, and after any such waiver may reinstate, the provisions of this Section 8.1. In the event the interest of Mortgagor in the Mortgaged Property is sold or otherwise transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily, then all of the interest of Mortgagor in and to the sums held by Mortgagee shall vest in the successor to the interest of Mortgagor in the Mortgaged Property, subject, nevertheless, to the rights of Mortgagee hereunder. 8.2 Mortgagee's Right to Protect Security. Mortgagee is hereby authorized to do any one or more of the following, irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred: (a) appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Mortgagee hereunder; (b) take such action as Mortgagee may determine to pay, perform or comply with any Impositions or Legal Requirements, to cure any Events of Default and to protect its security in the Mortgaged Property, including the recordation or filing of financing statements and other documents to further assure the enforceability or priority of Mortgagee's liens and security interests, advance sums on behalf of Mortgagor to pay, perform or comply with any Imposition, Legal Requirement, prohibited lien, claims, costs and expenses in connection with the Mortgaged Property, including payment for utilities, fuel or any other necessary maintenance expenses, fees, insurance and repairs; and for the purpose of exercising any such powers and all other rights and powers granted by this Mortgage to Mortgagee, Mortgagee is hereby appointed attorney-in-fact for Mortgagor. All sums paid by or otherwise owing to Mortgagee under this Section shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee on demand, and until paid such sums shall be added to the principal secured hereby, shall be included as part of the Secured Obligations and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand. 8.3 Mortgagee's Costs and Expenses. 18 In the event of an Event of Default or the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its rights hereunder, or if Mortgagee shall become a party, either as plaintiff or defendant or otherwise, to any suit or legal proceeding affecting any of the Mortgaged Property or the Secured Obligations, or if review and approval of any document, or any other matter related to any of the Secured Obligations, is required by, or requested of, Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand its costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith. If such amounts are not paid, they shall be added to the principal secured hereby, shall be included as part of the Secured Obligations and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand. 8.4 Security Agreement Under Uniform Commercial Code. This Mortgage is a Security Agreement as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. Notwithstanding the filing of a financing statement covering any of the Mortgaged Property in the records normally pertaining to personal property, at Mortgagee's option all of the Mortgaged Property, for all purposes and in all proceedings, legal or equitable, shall be regarded (to the extent permitted by law) as part of the Realty, whether or not any such item is physically attached to the Realty or Improvements. The mention in any such financing statement of any of the Mortgaged Property shall not be construed as in any way altering any of the rights of Mortgagee or adversely affecting the priority of the lien granted hereby or by any other Loan Document, but such mention in the financing statement is hereby declared to be for the protection of Mortgagee in the event any court shall at any time hold that notice of Mortgagee's priority of interest, to be effective against any third party, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records. This Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing under the Uniform Commercial Code. 8.5 Assignment of Loan Documents; Estoppel Certificates. Mortgagor agrees that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the assignment or negotiation, with or without recourse, of any of the Loan Documents or any interest of Mortgagee therein, or the assignment of this Mortgage. Mortgagor further agrees that, if requested by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall certify to the assignee of this Mortgage, to Mortgagee, and to such other persons as Mortgagee may request from time to time that this Mortgage is in full force and effect, the amount or amounts of the Secured Obligations, the terms of the Loan Documents, whether any offsets, claims, counterclaims or defenses exist with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or the performance of the Loan Documents and such other matters as Mortgagee or any assignee may require. 8.6 Waivers by Mortgagor. Mortgagor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives all errors and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Mortgagee under any of the Loan Documents and all benefit of any present or future statute of limitation or repose, or moratorium law, or any other present or future law, regulation or judicial decision which (a) exempts any of the Mortgaged Property or any other property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale thereof from attachment, levy or sale under execution, (b) provides for any stay of execution, marshaling of assets, exemption from civil process, redemption, extension of time for payment or valuation or appraisement of any of the Mortgaged Property, or (c) conflicts with any provision of any of the Loan Documents. 8.7 Payment of Fees. 19 The Mortgagor will pay all filing, registration and recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment, filing and recording of this Mortgage, any financing statements, releases, continuation statements, and any instruments of further assurance and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. 8.8 Further Assurances. Mortgagor agrees to execute such further assurances, documents and instruments as may be desirable by Mortgagee for the purposes of further evidencing, carrying out and/or confirming this Mortgage and for all other purposes intended by this Mortgage. 8.9 Subordination to Leases. At the option of Mortgagee, this Mortgage shall become subject and subordinate, in whole or in part (but not with respect to the priority of entitlement to insurance proceeds or any award in condemnation or with respect to any option to purchase), to any and all Leases, upon the execution by Mortgagee and recording thereof, at any time hereafter, in the office of the Recorder of Deeds in and for the county wherein the Realty is situate, of a unilateral declaration to that effect. 8.10 Subrogation. If the proceeds of any loan or other credit extended by Mortgagee, the repayment of which is hereby secured, is used directly or indirectly to pay off, discharge or satisfy, in whole or in part, any prior lien or encumbrance upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, then Mortgagee shall be subrogated to any additional security held by the holder of such lien or encumbrance. 8.11 Restatement of Representations and Warranties. Each representation or warranty made by Mortgagor in this Mortgage or in any other Loan Document or certificate related thereto shall be deemed to be restated as of the date of each advance made or credit extended by Mortgagee constituting a Secured Obligation. 8.12 Acceleration. In order to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness hereby secured because of the failure of Mortgagor to pay any tax assessment, liability, obligation or encumbrance upon the Mortgaged Property as herein provided, it shall not be necessary that Mortgagee shall first pay the same. 9.
