(ii) If the cost of Restoration is $10,000,000 or more or if the Superior Instrument Requirements provide that the same shall be paid to the Depositary, the net insurance proceeds shall be paid by Mortgagee to the Insurance Trustee (or other Depositary required by the Superior Instrument Re- quirements, provided that such Depositary holds such proceeds in trust for purposes of paying the costs of Restoration). (iii) Mortgagor shall commence with reasonable promptness under the circumstances and thereafter with due diligence proceed to perform and complete in a good and workmanlike manner the resto- ration, repair, replacement or rebuilding of the damage or destruction resulting from the Casualty (all such restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding following a Casualty or a Taking are referred to as "Restoration") in accordance with the ----------- plans and specifications submitted to the Insurance Trustee, in conformance with all Legal Requirements and Superior Instrument Requirements, and in accor- dance with the further provisions of this Subsection (e), regardless of the extent of any such Casualty and whether or not net insurance proceeds, if any, shall be available or, if available, shall be suffi- cient, for the purpose of the Restoration.

The plans and specifications for the Restoration shall be accompanied by a certificate of Mortgagor and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that upon 57 the completion of the Restoration pursuant to the plans and specifications, the Premises and all buildings and improvements thereon will comply with all Superior Instrument Requirements, Legal Require- ments and Insurance Requirements. (iv) Any insurance proceeds which Mort- gagor receives shall be held by Mortgagor in trust for the purpose of paying the cost of the Restora- tion, except as otherwise provided herein. (v) Any net insurance proceeds that the Insurance Trustee holds pursuant to this Subsection (e), shall be deposited in an interest-bearing investment reasonably designated by Mortgagor (to the extent Mortgagor is permitted to designate such investment under the Superior Instrument Require- ments) (and the interest thereon shall be added to such proceeds) and shall be paid by the Insurance Trustee to reimburse Mortgagor for, or to make payment for, the Restoration, after the Insurance Trustee deducts therefrom the amount of any reason- able costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Sec- tion 5.11. The Insurance Trustee shall make such payments not more frequently than once every 30 days upon the written request of Mortgagor (unless more frequent payments are required by Superior Instru- ment Requirements), by paying to Mortgagor or the persons named in the certificate described in clause (vi) of this Subsection (e) the respective amounts stated in such certificate from time to time as the Restoration progresses, provided Mortgagor has complied with the requirements of this Subsection (e) and such payment is permitted by any applicable Superior Instrument Requirements. Mortgagor's request shall be accompanied by (A) the certificate described in clause (vi) of this Subsection (e) and (B) a title company or official search, or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Insurance Trustee, showing that there have not been filed with respect to the Premises, any vendor's, contractor's, mechanic's, laborer's or materialman's statutory or similar lien which has not been discharged of record (or bonded against or secured by other security) or any other encumbrance irrespective of its priority (other than Permitted Liens). (vi) The certificate required by clause (v) of this Subsection (e) shall (A) be an Officers' Certificate, countersigned by the Architect in charge of the Restoration with respect to the mat- ters described in (1) and (5) below, (B) be dated 58 not more than 10 days prior to such request and (C) set forth (in addition to any other requirements contained in any applicable Superior Instrument Requirements) that: (1) all of the Restoration theretofore performed is in substantial compliance with the plans and specifications theretofore submitted to the Insurance Trustee and in compliance with all Superior Instrument Requirements, Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements; (2) the sum then requested either has been paid by Mortgagor or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engi- neers, architects or other persons who have rendered services or furnished or contracted to deliver materials for the Restoration therein specified, and the names and addresses of such persons, a brief description of such services and materials and the several amounts so paid or due to each of said persons in respect thereof; (3) no part of the amount requested has been or is the basis in any previous or then pending request for the withdrawal of net in- surance proceeds, and that the sum then re- quested does not exceed the value of the ser- vices and materials described in the certifi- cate; (4) except for the amount, if any, stated pursuant to Subclause (2) of this clause (vi) in such certificate to be due for services or materials, and except for amounts in dispute and/or customary retainages, there is no out- standing indebtedness known to the person sign- ing such certificate, after due inquiry, which is then due for labor, wages, materials, sup- plies or services in connection with such Res- toration; and (5) the remaining cost, as estimated by the persons signing such certificate, of the Restoration in order to complete the same does not exceed the net insurance proceeds remaining in the hands of Insurance Trustee after payment of the sum requested in such certificate or if such estimated cost does exceed such insurance proceeds such certificate shall state the amount of any such deficiency. If the certifi- cate states that such deficiency will exist, 59 Mortgagor shall deliver the amount of such deficiency in cash or cash equivalent to the Insurance Trustee simultaneously with the de- livery of such certificate, which amount shall be deemed insurance proceeds for purposes of this Section 5.11(e). (vii) If net insurance proceeds shall be insufficient to pay the entire cost of the Restora- tion, then, after completion of the Restoration, Mortgagor shall pay the deficiency. If all or any part of the net insurance proceeds are not used for the Restoration in accordance with this Subsection (e) (because such proceeds exceed the amount re- quired to complete the Restoration), then upon completion of the Restoration in accordance with this Subsection (e), such amount not so used, if held by the Insurance Trustee, shall be paid to Mortgagor (if permitted by Superior Instrument Re- quirements). (f) Mortgagor shall not take out separate insurance, concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursu- ant to this Section 5.11, unless the same is permitted by Superior Instrument Requirements. Mortgagor shall imme- diately notify Mortgagee whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee a duplicate original of the policy of such insurance, a copy thereof certified by the insurer or a certificate thereof. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all net business inter- ruption insurance proceeds shall be paid to Mortgagor, to be segregated from the other funds of Mortgagor and held in trust by Mortgagor for the following purposes and in the following order of priority: (i) for the payment of Impositions and amounts due under the Facility Leases and Superior Mortgages, (ii) for debt service for the esti- mated period of Restoration (for purposes of this Section 5.11(f), interest and principal payments due on any payment date under the applicable Debt Documents will be deemed to accrue in equal daily installments: beginning the day after the immediately preceding payment date and ending on such payment date), and (iii) for any other expense incurred in connection with the operation or business of the Casino Hotel. (g) Insurance claims by reason of damage or destruction to any portion of the Trust Estate may be adjusted by Mortgagor, but Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to join Mortgagor in adjusting, and approving the adjustment of, any such loss except in the event of a loss where the amount of insurance reason- 60 ably anticipated to be received with respect to such loss is less than $5,000,000, and Mortgagor shall assist Mortgagee in any such adjustment at the request of Mort- gagee. If Mortgagee at its election as aforesaid joins Mortgagor in any adjustment process, then Mortgagee's approval of the adjustment shall not be unreasonably withheld. (h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if an Event of Default shall have oc- curred and be continuing, Mortgagee may, at its option, (A) refrain from paying to Mortgagor or the Insurance Trustee any net insurance proceeds or (B) instruct the Insurance Trustee to pay to Mortgagee any insurance proceeds then held by the Insurance Trustee, as the case may be. Section 5.12. Limitations on Building Demolition, Alterations, Improvements and New Construction. ----------------------------------- Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagor shall have the right at all times to make or permit such demolition, alterations, improvements or new construction, structural or otherwise (herein sometimes called collectively "Alterations" and ----------- each, individually, an "Alteration"), of or on the Trust ---------- Estate, to be made in all cases subject to each of the following conditions: (a) No Alteration shall be undertaken or carried out except in conformity with all Superior In- strument Requirements, Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements. (b) If the estimated cost of any Alteration, together with other Alterations that constitute a single construction plan or project (whether or not accomplished in several stages or procedures), exceeds $5,000,000, the building or buildings, structures or other improvements as so improved or altered, upon the completion of the work, shall be of a value not less than the value of such building or buildings, structures or other improvements immediately prior to the making of such Alteration. (c) Any Alteration which is structural in nature or involves an estimated cost of more than $5,000,000 shall be conducted under the supervision of an Architect, and no such Alteration shall be undertaken until 10 days after there shall have been filed with Mortgagee detailed plans and specifications and cost estimates therefor, prepared and approved in writing by such Architect and accompanied by a certificate of such 61 Architect stating that such plans and specifications conform to all applicable provisions of this Section 5.12. (d) No Alteration involving an estimated cost of more than $5,000,000 shall be undertaken until Mort- gagor has furnished to Mortgagee, at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense, a surety bond or bonds, covering per- formance, and labor and material payments with respect to the work to be,so performed, naming Mortgagee as obligee, issued by a responsible surety company, authorized to do business in the State of New Jersey, in a form generally and customarily used by such surety in an amount equal to the estimated cost of construction of the work covered by the plans and specifications therefor, guaranteeing the performance and completion of such construction, substan- tially in conformity with the said plans and specifica- tions and within a reasonable time, subject to delays by fire, strikes, lock-out, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials, governmental restrictions, enemy action, civil commotion or unavoidable Casualty or other similar causes beyond the control of Mortgagor, free and clear of all liens, claims and liabilities for the cost of such Alterations. If such surety bond or bonds shall be unobtainable Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee security by cash, letter of credit or other guarantee, affording substantially the same protection as would such bond or bonds. (e) All work done in connection with any Alterations shall be done promptly and in good and work- manlike manner. The work in connection with any Alter- ation shall be prosecuted with reasonable dispatch, delays due to fire, strikes, lock-outs, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials, governmental restrictions, enemy action, civil commotion or unavoid- able Casualty or similar causes beyond the control of Mortgagor excepted. (f) If the estimated cost of Alterations exceeds $5,000,000, Mortgagor shall have delivered to Mortgagee (i) prior to the commencement of such Alter- ations, copies of all Permits required for the commence- ment of such work together with a certificate of the Architect or an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all Permits required for the commencement of such Alterations have been obtained; and (ii) within a reasonable period of time after the completion of the Alterations, copies of all Permits required in connection with the completion thereof, together with either an Opinion of Counsel or a certificate of the Architect that all such Permits have been so obtained by Mortgagor and that Mortgagor has complied with all the requirements of this Section 5.12. 62 (g) No Alterations of any kind shall be made which shall change the use or reduce the size or quality of any building, structure or other improvements in any material respect or which shall change the use of the Casino Hotel from its use as a gaming and hotel facility. (h) No Alterations costing in excess of $5,000,000, together with other Alterations that consti- tute a single construction plan or project (whether or not accomplished in several stages or procedures), shall be made if such Alterations are not expected to be com- pleted at least 120 days prior to the Stated Maturity of any Indebtedness secured hereby, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Notes (except if such Alter- ations are required in order to comply with Legal Re- quirements or Superior Instrument Requirements). (i) Mortgagor shall maintain at all times during the performance of Alterations, in addition to any insurance required to be maintained under Section 5.11 hereof, appropriate workers' compensation insurance covering all persons employed for such Alterations to the extent required by applicable law, and comprehensive general liability insurance expressly covering the addi- tional hazards due to such Alterations. Each such policy of insurance shall comply with the provisions of Section 5.11(b), and Mortgagor shall comply with Subsections (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) of Section 5.11 in connection with all such insurance.

Mortgagor shall, upon demand, reimburse Mortgagee for any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the preparation, review and delivery of such non-disturbance and attorn- ment agreements. Promptly after the execution and delivery hereof, Mortgagor shall cause the lessee under each Lease now in effect, and promptly after each Lease is executed or becomes effective after the date of the execution and delivery hereof, Mortgagor shall cause the lessee under each such Lease, to be duly notified in writing (unless the substance and effect of such notice shall be con- tained in such Lease) of the subjection of the owner's interest, as lessor, in and to such Lease to the lien of this Mortgage and of the name and address of Mortgagee. Each such notice shall state that the lease of such lessee is a Lease as herein defined. If a new Mortgagee is at any time appointed hereunder or the address of Mortgagee shall at any time be changed, Mortgagor shall cause each lessee under each Lease to be promptly noti- fied in writing of the name and address of such new Mortgagee or the new address of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall use reasonable efforts (but shall not be obligated to incur any expenditure other than de minimis amounts) -- ------- to obtain from each lessee under each Lease to whom any notice is sent pursuant to this paragraph an acknowledg- ment of receipt of such notice, and Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee, upon request, a copy of each such acknowledgment of receipt which it is able to obtain.

Section 5.16. To Keep Books; Inspection by Mortgagee. -------------------------------------- Mortgagor will keep proper books of record and account, in which full and correct entries shall be made of all dealings or transactions of or in relation to the properties, business and affairs of Mortgagor in accor- dance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

Mortgagor shall at any and all times, upon request of Mortgagee and at the expense of Mortgagor, permit Mortgagee and its representatives to inspect the Casino Hotel and any other buildings, structures and improvements now or hereafter located on the Land and the books of account, records, reports and other papers of Mortgagor, and to make copies and extracts therefrom, and will afford and procure a reasonable opportunity to make any such inspection (provided, that any such inspection -------- shall not unreasonably interfere with the business opera- tions of Mortgagor), and Mortgagor will furnish to Mort- gagee any and all information as Mortgagee may reasonably request, with respect to the performance by Mortgagor of its covenants in this Mortgage. Section 5.17. Advances by Mortgagee. --------------------- If Mortgagor shall fail to perform any of the covenants, terms, provisions or conditions contained in this Mortgage and such failure shall continue for 10 days following notice thereof given by Mortgagee (or at any time, without notice, in case of emergency), Mortgagee may (but is not obligated to), at any time and from time to time, take any action or make advances, to effect performance of any such covenant, term, provision or condition on behalf of Mortgagor; and all moneys so used, paid or advanced by Mortgagee and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection there- with, together with interest on all of the same at the rate of interest set forth in the applicable Debt Docu- ments, shall be immediately due and payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee and all such moneys, costs and expenses shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage prior to any Indebtedness secured hereby. No such advance or pay- ment by Mortgagee shall relieve Mortgagor from any de- fault hereunder or impair any right or remedy of Mort- gagee. 67 Section 5.18. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. --------------------------------------- Mortgagor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law or any other law wherever enacted which would prohibit or forgive Mortgagor from paying all or any portion of the Obligations secured by this Mortgage, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may otherwise affect the covenants or the performance of this Mortgage; and Mortgagor (to the extent that it may law- fully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to Mortgagee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. Section 5.19. Eminent Domain. -------------- (a) Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee immedi- ately upon obtaining knowledge of any Taking affecting the Trust Estate or any part thereof. If the Taking is a Taking of less than the whole or substantially all of the Premises but (i) is estimated to result in an award of more than $10,000,000 or (ii) the Taking will interfere with or adversely affect the operation of the Casino Hotel (other than any portion thereof consisting solely of unimproved, paved or unpaved surface parking) other than to a de minimis extent, then within 30 days after such Taking, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee a certificate of an Architect stating whether, in such Architect's opinion, applicable Legal Requirements permit the Restoration of any buildings and improvements for the same uses and to the same size and quality in all materi- al respects as existed immediately prior to the Taking (and if said certificate states that Legal Requirements do not permit such Restoration, said certificate shall describe the manner closest approximating such criteria to which the buildings and improvements could be so restored and shall be accompanied by a Certificate of Appraised Value dated not more than 10 days prior to delivery setting forth the Appraised Value immediately prior to the Taking and the estimated Appraised Value immediately after the permitted Restoration). If Mort- gagor is required to deliver such Certificate of Ap- praised Value and if based on such Certificate of Ap- praised Value immediately after Restoration, (i) the Outstanding Amount of Indebtedness immediately after such Restoration shall exceed the greater of (A) 80% of the Appraised Value immediately after such Restoration or (B) 68 the quotient of the Outstanding Amount of Indebtedness immediately prior to such Taking divided by the Appraised Value immediately prior to the Taking multiplied by the Appraised Value immediately after such Restoration, or (ii) applicable Legal Requirements do not permit the Restoration of the Casino Hotel for use as a casino and hotel complex, then, in any of such events, the Taking shall be deemed a Taking of "the whole or substantially all of the Premises." The Taking shall be deemed a Taking of "less than the whole or substantially all of the Premises" if Mortgagor is not required to deliver a Certificate of Appraised Value or if, at the time of delivery of such Certificate, neither of the tests set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) is met. (b) If at any time there shall occur a Taking of less than the whole or substantially all of the Pre- mises and the award or awards resulting therefrom payable to Mortgagor (and not to any lessor under any Facility Lease or the holder of any Superior Mortgage) (after there shall have been first deducted the fees and expens- es incurred in connection with the termination, settle- ment and collection of such award or awards, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses, hereinafter referred to as "Settlement Costs") (i) shall ---------------- be less than $10,000,000 (except to the extent that the Insurance Trustee or a Depositary is required to hold such amount pursuant to a Superior Instrument Require- ment), the entire amount of such award shall be paid to Mortgagor; and (ii) if such award is $10,000,000 or more, the entire amount of such award shall be paid to the Insurance Trustee (or other Depositary required by a Superior Mortgage, provided that such Depositary holds such award in trust for purposes of paying the cost of Restoration). In either event, such awards shall be applied to the cost of Restoration of the Trust Estate as nearly as practicable to their uses, value and condition immediately prior to the Taking (except to the extent otherwise provided by Superior Instrument Requirements). Mortgagor shall promptly commence and with due diligence perform the Restoration in accordance with clauses (iii), (iv) and (vii) of Section 5.11(e) (after substituting the words "Taking" for "Casualty" and "award" for "net insur- ance proceeds"), at no cost to Mortgagee. All claims or suits arising out of any Taking may be settled by Mort- gagor, except that Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in such claim or suit, and to approve settlement thereof (and notwithstanding anything in the Ground Leases to the contrary, Mortgagor shall not agree to any settlement or compromise of the amount of any such claim or suit, except a claim or suit where the amount reasonably anticipated to be received by Mortgagor is less than $5,000,000). If Mortgagee at its 69 election as aforesaid joins such claim or suit, Mortgagee's approval of such settlement shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Insurance Trustee shall promptly pay such sums as are received by it from such Taking from time to time in accordance with the proce- dures set forth in clauses (v) and (vi) of Section 5.11(e) (after substituting the words "Taking" for "Casu- alty" and "award" for "net insurance proceeds"). (c) If at any time there shall occur a Taking of the whole or substantially all of the Premises, then the award payable to Mortgagor shall not be applied to Restoration but shall instead be paid and delivered to Mortgagee (subject to the rights of the lessors under any Facility Leases and the holders of any Superior Mortgag- es) to the extent of the then Outstanding Amount under the Debt Documents and any other interest or other sums due hereunder or thereunder to be applied to the satis- faction of this Mortgage to the extent proceeds are available for such purpose and provided that no addition- al sums are due Mortgagee or any Secured Creditor, in- cluding, without limitation, the Holders under the Mort- gage Notes or the Trust Indenture, the balance of any award shall be paid to Mortgagor. (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if an Event of Default shall have oc- curred and is continuing, Mortgagee may, at its option, (i) refrain from paying to Mortgagor or the Insurance Trustee any award or (ii) instruct the Insurance Trustee to pay to Mortgagee any award then held by the Insurance Trustee, as the case may be. Section 5.20. Facility Leases. --------------- (a) Mortgagor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired the rights of Mortgagor, as lessee under all Facility Leases, and to prevent any termination, surrender, cancellation, forfeiture or impairment of any thereof. Mortgagor shall at all times fully perform and comply with all agree- ments, covenants, terms and conditions imposed upon or assumed by it as lessee under each of the Facility Leases (including, without limitation, the covenant to pay rent and all taxes, assessments and other charges mentioned therein) prior to the expiration of any notice and/or cure period provided in each such Facility Lease. Upon receipt by Mortgagee from a Lessor of any written notice of default by the lessee thereunder, Mortgagee may rely thereon and take any action Mortgagee deems necessary in its sole discretion to prevent or to cure any default by Mortgagor in the performance of or compliance with any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions imposed 70 upon or assumed by Mortgagor as lessee under such Facili- ty Lease, even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Mortgagor or by any party on behalf of Mortgagor. Without limiting the generality of Section 3.09, Mortgagor hereby express- ly grants to Mortgagee, and agrees that Mortgagee shall have, the absolute and immediate right to enter in and upon the Premises or any part thereof to such extent and as often as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable for the purpose permitted by the immediately preceding sentence, subject only to applica- ble Legal Requirements. Without limiting Mortgagor's obligations or Mortgagee's rights set forth above or limiting Mortgagee's other remedies under this Mortgage, Mortgagee may (i) pay and expend such sums of money as Mortgagee in its sole discretion deems necessary for any such purpose, and (ii) without limiting the provisions of (i) above, in the event of a Disqualification (as defined in Section 52.2 of the Ground Leases), and Mortgagor's failure to exercise the option contained in Section 52.3 of the appropriate Ground Lease within the period of time described in Section 5.20(b)(vii), exercise said option on behalf of Mortgagor and expend any amounts Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary in connection therewith, and Mortgagor hereby agrees to pay to Mortgag- ee immediately and without demand, all such sums referred to in (i) and (ii) above, so paid and expended by Mort- gagee, together with interest thereon from the date of each such payment at the highest rate of interest set forth in the Mortgage Notes. All sums so paid and ex- pended by Mortgagee, and the interest thereon, shall be added to and be secured by the lien of this Mortgage. (b) Mortgagor further covenants and agrees as follows: (i) Mortgagor shall not surrender, termi- nate or cancel any Facility Lease (other than any Expansion Site Lease), and shall not without the consent of Mortgagee modify, change, supplement, alter or amend: any Facility Lease either orally or in writing if (x) an impairment of the security granted under this Mortgage would result therefrom or (y) with respect to any Ground Lease, the term of such Ground Lease would be reduced thereby or the leasehold mortgagee protections contained therein would be reduced or impaired thereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, Mortgagor shall be permitted to amend Article Fifty- Second of the Ground Lease of the TSA Parcel to increase the purchase price under the option to purchase described therein from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. As further security for the repayment 71 of the indebtedness secured hereby and for the performance of the covenants herein and in each Facility Lease contained, Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor's rights, privileges and prerogatives as lessee under each Facility Lease to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend such Facility Lease (including, with- out limitation, under Section 20.2 of any Ground Lease), and any such termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of a Facility Lease (other than any Expan- sion Site Lease) without the prior consent thereto by Mortgagee shall be void and of no force and effect. Unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) either (A) there has been an acceleration of maturity of any Indebtedness secured hereby or (B) Mortgagee exercises its rights under Section 3.09, Mortgagee shall have no right to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Facility Lease. (ii) Solely for the benefit of Mortgagee, the Holders and no other person, no release or forbearance of any of Mortgagor's obligations under any Facility Lease, pursuant to such Facility Lease or otherwise, shall release Mortgagor from any of Mortgagor's other obligations under this Mortgage. (iii) Unless Mortgagee shall otherwise expressly consent in writing, the fee title to the Leased Facilities and Mortgagor's leasehold estates therein shall not merge and shall always remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in the Lessor or in the lessee, or in a third party by purchase or otherwise. (iv) Mortgagor shall not appoint or consent to the appointment of an arbitrator pursuant to Article Twenty-First of the Ground Leases without the prior consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any request made by Mortgagor, as lessee under any Facility Lease, or any of the Lessors, for arbitration pro- ceedings under any Facility Lease and of the insti- tution of any arbitration proceedings, as well as all proceedings thereunder. Mortgagor shall prompt- ly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of the determination of the arbitrators in each such arbitration proceed- ing. Mortgagee shall have the right to participate in such arbitration proceedings in association with Mortgagor or on its own behalf as an interested party. 72 (v) Mortgagor shall not consent to the subordination of any Facility Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien on the fee interest of the Lessor. (vi) If (A) Mortgagor exercises its option(s) under Article Forty-Fourth or Fifty-Second of any Ground Lease to purchase any portion of the Ground Lease Land, Mortgagor shall deliver a copy of its election to exercise such option within 5 days after Mortgagor has delivered notice of such elec- tion to the Lessor or (B) Mortgagor acquires fee simple title or any other estate, title or interest in any Leased Facility (pursuant to the options described in clause (A), the option or right of first offer set forth in the Expansion Site Option Agreement or otherwise), Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of such acquisition and, on request by Mortgagee, shall cause to be executed and record- ed all such other and further assurances or other instruments in writing as may in the opinion of Mortgagee be required or desirable to carry out the intent and meaning of clause (x) of Granting Clause Second. (vii) In the event of any Disqualifica- tion, Mortgagor shall exercise the option granted by Section 52.3 of the appropriate Ground Lease within 60 days after the first day on which Mortgagor may exercise said option. (viii) Within 5 days after Mortgagor's receipt of any notice of any motion, application or effort to reject any Facility Lease by any Lessor or any trustee arising from or in connection with any case, proceeding or other action commenced or pend- ing by or against any Lessor under the Code or any comparable provision contained in any present or future federal, state, local, foreign or other statute, law, rule or regulation ("Comparable Provi- ---------- ----- sion"), Mortgagor shall give notice thereof to ---- Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby (A) assigns to Mortgag- ee any and all of Mortgagor's rights as lessee under Section 365(h) of the Code or any Comparable Provi- sion and (B) covenants that it shall not elect to treat any Facility Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Code or any Comparable Provi- sion without the prior consent of Mortgagee and (C) agrees that any such election by Mortgagor without such consent shall be null and void. (ix) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable 73 law, Mortgagor hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor's claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by Lessor of any Facility Lease under the Code or any Comparable Provision. Mortgagee shall have the right to pro- ceed in its own name or in the name of Mortgagor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Facility Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, in cooperation with Mortgagor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of Lessor under the Code or any Comparable Provision. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all of the indebtedness and obligations secured by this Mortgage shall have been satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts received by Mortgagee in damages arising out of the rejection of any Facility Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all reasonable costs and expenses of Mort- gagee (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and court costs) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Section 5.20, and thereafter as provided in Section 3.03. (x) If there shall be filed by or against Mortgagor a petition under the Code or any Compara- ble Provision and Mortgagor, as lessee under any Facility Lease, shall determine to reject such Facility Lease, Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee not less than 10 days' prior notice of the date on which Mortgagor shall apply to the Bankruptcy Court or other judicial body with appropriate jurisdiction for authority to reject such Facility Lease. Mort- gagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Mortgagor within such 10-day period a notice stating that (a) Mortgagee demands that Mortgagor assume and assign such Facility Lease to Mortgagee pursuant to Section 365 of the Code or any Comparable Provision and (b) Mortgagee covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance under such Facility Lease. If Mortgagee serves upon Mortgagor the notice described in the preceding sentence, Mortgagor shall not seek to reject such Facility Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (a) of the preced- ing sentence within 30 days after the notice shall have been given subject to the performance by Mort- 74 gagee of the covenant provided for in clause (b) of the preceding sentence. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.20(x) shall not apply to the extent not permitted by applicable law. Effective upon the entry of an order for relief in respect of Mortgagor under Chapter 7 of the Code or any Comparable Provi- sion, Mortgagor hereby assigns and transfers to Mortgagee a non-exclusive right to apply to the Bankruptcy Court or other judicial body with appro- priate jurisdiction for an order extending the period during which such Facility Lease may be rejected or assumed. (xi) Mortgagor shall promptly give to Mortgagee copies of (A) all notices of default and (B) any other communications or notices with respect to events that relate to the possible impairment of the security of this Mortgage, which Mortgagor shall give or receive under any Facility Lease and shall promptly notify Mortgagee of any default under any Facility Lease on the part of the Lessor or Mortgag- or. (xii) Mortgagor shall enforce with due diligence all of the obligations of the Lessor under each Facility Lease, to the end that Mortgagor may enjoy all of the rights and privileges granted to it under the Facility Leases. (xiii) Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee within 5 days after the transfer of a fee interest in any Leased Facility or any portion thereof to or from an Affiliate. (xiv) No Affiliate of Mortgagor shall at any time hereafter acquire fee title to the Leased Land or any portion thereof unless simultaneously with such acquisition such Affiliate and Mortgagor execute and exchange (and deliver to Mortgagee an executed counterpart of) an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee providing that so long as such Affiliate owns such fee title (A) such Affiliate shall not terminate the applicable Facility Lease for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, due to the default of Mortgagor under such Facility Lease) and (B) such Affiliate shall not accept, and, if tendered by Mortgagor shall promptly return to Mortgagor, any payment of rent or other charges payable under such Facility Lease in excess of the amount required to pay the debt service and other sums payable under any mort- gage affecting such Affiliate's fee interest in the applicable Leased Facility (and such Affiliate shall 75 use such funds only to pay its debt service obliga- tions and other sums payable under such mortgage) at any time that an Event of Default, or a Default of the types described in Section 3.01(b), (c), (g), (h), (i) or (m) of this Mortgage or Section 7.1(a), (b), (f) or (g) of the Trust Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing under this Mortgage or the Trust Indenture. (c) Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants that all Fixed Net Rent (as defined in the Ground Leas- es), taxes and assessments, payable under the Ground Leases have been paid to the extent they were due and payable to the date hereof and that Mortgagor has not received notice of its failure to pay any other amounts payable under the Ground Leases which has not been cured. (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.20(b)(iii), if both the lessor's and lessee's estates under any Facility Lease or any portion thereof shall at any time become vested in one owner, this Mortgage and the lien created hereby shall nevertheless not be de- stroyed or terminated by application of the doctrine of merger and, in such event, Mortgagee shall continue to have all of the rights and privileges of a first lease- hold mortgagee. (e) Mortgagor hereby acknowledges that if any Facility Lease shall be terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term due to default by the lessee thereunder, and if pursuant to such Facility Lease, Mortgagee or its designee shall acquire from the Lessor a new lease of the Leased Facility or any portion thereof, Mortgagor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, or the options therein contained. (f) Each Facility Lease hereafter entered into or assumed by Mortgagor as lessee or sublessee shall contain provisions (i) permitting the assignment of the same to Mortgagee and permitting assignment without the lessor's consent if this Mortgage is foreclosed; and (ii) providing protection to Mortgagee, as leasehold mortgag- ee, not less favorable than the provisions contained in Article Twenty-Ninth of the Ground Leases. Section 5.21. Superior Mortgages. ------------------ (a) Mortgagor shall at all times fully perform and comply with all agreements, covenants, terms and conditions imposed upon or assumed by it as mortgagor under the Superior Mortgages prior to the expiration of any notice and/or cure period provided in each such Supe- 76 rior Mortgage. If a notice of default has been given by the holder of any Superior Mortgage, Mortgagee may rely thereon and take any action Mortgagee deems necessary in its sole discretion to prevent or to cure any default by Mortgagor in the performance of or compliance with any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions imposed upon or assumed by Mortgagor as mortgagor under each of the Superior Mortgages even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Mortgagor or by any party on behalf of Mortgagor. With- out limiting the generality of Section 3.09, Mortgagor hereby expressly grants to Mortgagee, and agrees that Mortgagee shall have, the absolute and immediate right to enter in and upon the Premises or any part thereof to such extent and as often as Mortgagee, in its sole dis- cretion, deems necessary or desirable for the purpose permitted by the immediately preceding sentence, subject only to applicable Legal Requirements. Without limiting Mortgagor's obligations or Mortgagee's rights set forth above or limiting Mortgagee's other remedies under this Mortgage, Mortgagee may (i) pay and expend such sums of money as Mortgagee in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable for any such purpose and (ii) in its sole discretion prepay any Superior Mortgage, and Mortgagor hereby agrees to pay to Mortgagee immediately and without demand, all such sums referred to in (i) and (ii) above so paid and expended by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon from the date of each such payment at the highest rate of interest set forth in any outstanding Mortgage Notes. All sums so paid and expended by Mortgagee and the interest thereon, shall be added to and be secured by the lien of this Mortgage. (b) Mortgagor further covenants and agrees: (i) Mortgagor shall not, without first obtaining the consent of Mortgagee in each instance: (A) modify, replace or refinance any Superior Mort- gage if (x) the collateral securing the lien thereof would be increased thereby or (y) such modification, replacement or refinancing violates any other provi- sion of this Mortgage or the Trust Indenture or (B) acquire or permit or suffer any Affiliate of Mort- gagor to acquire any Superior Mortgage or any inter- est therein; (ii) Mortgagor shall timely pay and per- form all of the obligations to be paid or performed by the mortgagor under each Superior Mortgage, the note secured thereby and any other instrument evi- dencing or securing the indebtedness owing to any holder of any Superior Mortgage; 77 (iii) at any time, and from time to time, Mortgagor shall upon request of Mortgagee promptly use its reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate or letter addressed to Mortgagee from holders of the Superior Mortgages, such certificate or letter to be in such form as Mortgagee shall reasonably request; (iv) Mortgagor shall promptly give to Mortgagee copies of (A) all notices of default or (B) any other notice or communication with respect to events which relate to the possible impairment of the security of this Mortgage, which Mortgagor shall give or receive under the Superior Mortgages and shall promptly notify Mortgagee of any default under any Superior Mortgages on the part of Mortgagor. Section 5.22. Indemnification. --------------- Mortgagor shall protect, indemnify, hold harm- less and defend Mortgagee and its directors, officers, partners, shareholders, agents, servants and employees from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and court costs), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Mortgagee by reason of (a) any injury to or death of Persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Pre- mises or any part thereof or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault spaces, if any, streets, alleys or ways, (b) any use, nonuse or condition of the Premises or any part thereof or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault spaces, if any, streets, alleys or ways, (c) any failure on the part of Mortgagor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Mortgage, (d) per- formance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Premis- es or any part thereof made or suffered to be made by or on behalf of Mortgagor, (e) any negligence or tortious act on the part of Mortgagor or any of its agents, con- tractors, lessees, licensees or invitees, or (f) any work in connection with the Premises; provided, that no amounts shall be payable to Mortgagee under this Section 5.22 in respect of liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs or expenses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Mortgagee to the extent the same result from any negligence or tortious act on the part of Mortgagee or any of its agents, contractors, lessees, licensees or invitees. All amounts payable to Mortgagee under this Section 5.22 shall be payable on demand; provided, that with respect to consequential damages (other than attorneys' fees, 78 disbursements and court costs imposed upon or incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith, which shall in all events be payable on demand), no such amounts shall be payable until, and to the extent that, (i) there has been entered the final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction awarding such consequential damages to the party or parties seeking such damages or (ii) an agree- ment of settlement with respect thereto (which shall have been previously approved by Mortgagor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall have been executed by Mortgagee and such party or parties. Any such amounts which are not paid within 5 days after demand therefor by Mortgagee shall bear interest at the rate set forth in the Mortgage Notes from the date of such demand and all such amounts and interest thereon shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against Mortgagee by reason of any such occurrence, Mortgagor, upon request of Mortgagee, shall, at Mortgagor's expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be re- sisted or defended by counsel designated by Mortgagor and approved by Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unrea- sonably withheld; provided, that Willkie, Farr & -------- Gallagher is hereby approved by Mortgagee. 79 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Mortgagor has caused this Mortgage to be duly executed and attested, all as of the day and year first above written.
