To secure payment of the Obligations and the full and faithful performance
of the covenants and agreements in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents,
Mortgagor hereby grants, bargains, sells, conveys, assigns, transfers, pledges,
sets over, warrants and confirms to Beneficiary a security interest in the
Collateral and the Intangibles.
Mortgagor covenants with and warrants to Mortgagee: (a) that Mortgagor has
good and marketable title to the Security Property, is lawfully seized and
possessed of the Land and Improvements in fee simple and has good right and
authority to grant, sell, assign, mortgage and convey the same and to grant a
security interest therein as provided herein, fully and absolutely waiving and
releasing all rights and claims it may have in or to the Security Property as a
homestead exemption or any federal, state or local law now or hereafter in
effect; (b) that the Security Property is unencumbered and free and clear of all
liens and security interests and title matters whatsoever except for any
easements, restrictions or other title exceptions listed in the title insurance
policy delivered to Mortgagee in connection with this Mortgage (the "PERMITTED
EXCEPTIONS"); and (c) that Mortgagor is now in a solvent condition and no
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are pending or contemplated by Mortgagor or
against Mortgagor; and (d) that Mortgagor shall forever warrant and defend the
Security Property unto Mortgagee, and the validity and priority of the lien of
this Mortgage, against the lawful claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.
This warranty of title shall survive the foreclosure of this Mortgage and insure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by any person who may acquire the Security
Property pursuant to foreclosure.
Mortgagor further covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:
1. PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. Mortgagor shall pay all sums due Mortgagee at
the time and in the manner provided in the Loan Documents, and Mortgagor shall
otherwise perform, comply with and abide by each and every one of the
stipulations, agreements, conditions and covenants contained in the Loan
Documents.
2. TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND CHARGES. Mortgagor shall pay all taxes,
assessments (whether general or special) and other charges whatsoever levied,
assessed, placed or made against all or any part of the Security Property or any
interest of Mortgagee therein, or against any Loan Document or any obligation
thereunder. Mortgagor shall make such payment in full (and shall deliver to
Mortgagee the paid receipts) not later than thirty (30) days before the last day
upon which the same may be paid without the imposition of interest (except
interest on special assessments payable by law in installments, in which case
Mortgagor shall pay each such installment when due) or other late charge or
penalty. If Mortgagor shall fail, neglect or refuse to pay any such taxes,
assessments or other charges as aforesaid, then Mortgagee at its option may pay
the same, and any funds so advanced by Mortgagee shall bear interest, shall be
paid and shall be secured as provided in paragraph 14.

(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
3. INSURANCE.
(a) Mortgagor shall maintain property insurance with a reputable insurance
company or companies with a Best's rating of A VIII or better,
licensed in the state in which the Security Property is located and
acceptable to Mortgagee, covering all the Improvements, the Collateral
and all tangible personal property encumbered by this Mortgage, for an
amount not less than their full insurable value on a replacement cost
basis, without contribution or coinsurance (or with co-insurance and
an agreed amount endorsement), but not less than the original amount
of the Note for the benefit of Mortgagor and Mortgagee as their
interests may appear, by policies on such terms, in such form and for
such periods as Mortgagee shall require or approve from time to time,
insuring with all risk or special form coverage against loss or damage
by fire, lightning, flood, windstorm, hail, aircraft, riot, vehicles,
explosion, smoke, falling objects, weight of ice or snow or sleet,
collapse, sudden tearing asunder, breakage of glass, freezing,
electricity, sprinkler leakage, water damage, sinkhole, earthquake,
vandalism and malicious mischief, theft, riot attending a strike,
civil commotion, loss of rents and other income (for no less than
twelve (12) full months) and when and to the extent required by
Mortgagee, against any other risks. Regardless of the types or amounts
of insurance required and approved by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall
assign and deliver to Mortgagee all policies of insurance which insure
against any loss or damage to the Security Property or any part
thereof, as collateral and further security for the payment of the
Obligations, with loss payable to Mortgagee pursuant to a standard
mortgagee clause acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagee is hereby
authorized at its option to settle and adjust any claims arising out
of any insurance coverage so maintained by Mortgagor. Any expense
incurred by Mortgagee in the adjustment and collection of insurance
proceeds shall be reimbursed to Mortgagee first out of any insurance
proceeds.
(b) If Mortgagor fails to maintain such insurance in force, then Mortgagee
at its option may effect such insurance from year to year and pay the
premiums therefor, and any such sums advanced by Mortgagee shall bear
interest, shall be paid and shall be secured as provided in paragraph
14.
(c) If any insurance proceeds are received for loss or damage to the
Improvements or the Collateral, then Mortgagee at its option may
retain such proceeds and apply them toward the payment of the
Obligations (in any order of priority Mortgagee may deem appropriate
in its sole
Page 5 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1826
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
discretion), or Mortgagee may disburse them to Mortgagor for the
repair or restoration of the damaged Improvements or Collateral in the
same manner as disbursements under a construction loan; Mortgagee
shall not be obligated to see to the proper application by Mortgagor
of any such disbursement.
(d) Mortgagor shall obtain and carry commercial general liability
insurance with a reputable insurance company or companies with a
Best's rating of A VIII or better, licensed in the state in which the
Security Property is located, and acceptable to Mortgagee, which
policy shall name Mortgagor as insured and Mortgagee as additional
insured, with initial limits of not less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) as to personal injury or death, and One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) with respect to property damage (or such greater or
different limits which Mortgagee may require from time to time) and on
such terms, in such form and for such periods as Mortgagee shall
approve from time to time.
(e) In the event of a foreclosure of this Mortgage, the purchaser of the
Security Property shall succeed to all the rights of Mortgagor in and
to all policies of insurance required under this Mortgage, including
any right to unearned premiums.
(f) Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of each
policy required under this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall deliver to
Mortgagee a renewal policy or policies marked "premium paid" or
accompanied by other evidence of payment satisfactory to Mortgagee.
(g) Each policy of insurance required under this Mortgage shall be non-
cancelable without at least thirty (30) days' advance written notice
to Mortgagee.
(h) The insurance coverages required by this paragraph 3 may be included
in a "blanket" policy or policies subject to Mortgagee's written
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(i) All proceeds paid under any insurance policy will be paid to
Mortgagee. However, Mortgagee agrees that such proceeds may be used
for restoration of damaged Improvements if the following conditions
are fulfilled:
Page 6 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1827
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
1. No Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under this Mortgage,
and no event has occurred which, with the lapse of time or the giving
of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under this
Mortgage.
2. Such restoration can be fully accomplished within one hundred eighty
(180) days.
3. Such restoration will be performed in accordance with plans and
specifications approved in writing by Mortgagee.
4. The cost of restoration does not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the
outstanding Loan balance. Additionally, Mortgagee must be given
satisfactory evidence that, by expenditure of the insurance proceeds,
the damage to the Security Property can be fully repaired, free and
clear of all liens, except for the lien of this Mortgage.
5. No waiver of payments due under the Note or other Loan Documents
occurs while the Security Property is being restored.
6. No insurer denies liability as to Mortgagor or the Security Property.
If all of the above conditions are not satisfied, the proceeds will be
applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan with all terms
(including, but not limited to, repayments terms) remaining the same.
If the above conditions are met, the insurance proceeds received, after
deducting therefrom any expenses incurred in the collection thereof, shall be
disbursed periodically in accordance with procedures established by Mortgagee as
restoration work is completed.
4. ESCROW ACCOUNT. At Mortgagee's option, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee,
together with and in addition to each regular installment of principal and/or
interest payable under the Loan Documents, an amount deemed sufficient by
Mortgagee to provide Mortgagee with funds in an escrow account sufficient to pay
the taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other charges next due at least
thirty (30) days before the date the same are due. In no event shall Mortgagee
be liable for any interest on any such funds held in the escrow account. At
least thirty (30) days before the date the same are due, Mortgagor shall furnish
to Mortgagee an official statement of the amount of said taxes, assessments,
insurance premiums and other charges, and Mortgagee shall pay the same, but only
if sufficient funds remain in the escrow account. In the event of any deficiency
in the escrow account, Mortgagor shall upon notice from Mortgagee immediately
deposit with Mortgagee such additional funds as Mortgagee may deem necessary to
cure the deficiency, in its sole discretion. If Mortgagee elects to pay any such
taxes, assessments,
Page 7 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1828
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
insurance premiums or other charges notwithstanding the escrow account
deficiency, then all sums advanced by Mortgagee in excess of the escrow account
balance shall bear interest, shall be paid and shall be secured as provided in
paragraph 14. An official receipt for such sums shall be conclusive evidence of
Mortgagee's payment and of the validity of the tax, assessment, insurance
premium or other charge so paid. In the event of any default under this Mortgage
or any other Loan Document, Mortgagee at its option may apply any or all funds
in the escrow account against the Obligations or any other sums secured by this
Mortgage, in any order of priority Mortgagee may deem appropriate in its sole
discretion. At the time of any permitted transfer of the title to all of the
Security Property then encumbered by this Mortgage, the balance in the escrow
account shall inure to the benefit of such transferee without any specific
assignment of such funds. Upon payment in full of the Obligations, the funds
remaining in the escrow account (if any) shall be paid over to the record owner
of the Security Property encumbered by this Mortgage as of the date of such full
payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee agrees not to exercise its
right to collect escrows for insurance so long as (i) no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; and (ii) all such insurance premiums are paid in a
timely manner as and when due, and evidence of such payment is provided to
Mortgagee no less than ten (10) days prior to any such payment being delinquent
or overdue or beyond any deadline for maximum discounts, as determined by
Mortgagee in Mortgagee's sole discretion.
5. IMPROVEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENT. Without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee, which Mortgagee may grant or withhold in its sole discretion, none of
the Improvements covered by the lien of this Mortgage shall be removed,
demolished or materially altered or enlarged (except as required in the event of
fire, other casualty or condemnation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor
shall have the right to remove and dispose of, free from the lien of this
Mortgage, such Collateral as from time to time may become worn out or obsolete,
provided that, simultaneously with or prior to such removal, Mortgagor shall
have replaced any such Collateral with new Collateral (of at least the same
quality as that of the replaced Collateral when it was new) which shall be free
from any title retention or other security agreement or other encumbrance, and,
by such removal and replacement, Mortgagor shall be deemed to have subjected
such new Collateral to the lien of this Mortgage. Without the prior written
consent of Mortgagee, which Mortgagee may grant or withhold in its sole
discretion, Mortgagor shall not undertake any development of the Land, nor
construct any new Improvements thereon, nor initiate or join in or consent to
any new (or any change in any existing) private restrictive covenant, zoning
ordinance, master plan, site plan, easement, or other public or private
restrictions limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Security
Property or any part thereof. Mortgagor shall complete and pay for any permitted
development and/or improvements undertaken on the Land within a reasonable time
after commencing the same.
6. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. Mortgagor shall do everything necessary to
maintain the Security Property in good condition and repair, shall operate the
Security Property in a first-
Page 8 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1829
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
class manner, shall not commit or suffer any waste, impairment, abandonment or
deterioration of the Security Property, shall promptly pay all utility fees for
services provided to the Security Property, and shall comply with (or cause
compliance with) all applicable restrictive covenants and all statutes,
ordinances and requirements of any governmental authorities having jurisdiction
over the Security Property or the use thereof. In the event of any fire or other
casualty loss or damage to all or any part of the Security Property, Mortgagor
shall notify Mortgagee within forty-eight (48) hours of such occurrence.
Mortgagor shall promptly repair, restore, replace or rebuild any part of the
Security Property which may be damaged or destroyed by any casualty whatsoever
or which may be affected by any condemnation, alteration of grade, or other
public or quasi-public taking or injury, except to the extent precluded by
Mortgagee's retention and application of the insurance or condemnation proceeds
against the Obligations. If Mortgagor shall fail, neglect or refuse to repair or
maintain the Security Property as aforesaid, then Mortgagee may at its option
undertake such repairs or maintenance, and any funds advanced therefor by
Mortgagee shall bear interest, shall be paid and shall be secured as provided in
paragraph 14.
7. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS. As further
consideration for the making of the Loan evidenced by the Note, Mortgagor hereby
absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Mortgagee all
rents, income, issues and profits of the Security Property and all right, title
and interest of Mortgagor in and under all leases, tenancies and occupancy
agreements of any nature whatsoever (and any extensions and renewals thereof)
now or hereafter affecting the Security Property (the "LEASES"), together with
any guaranties thereof and any security deposits or prepaid rent or other
deposits or advances thereunder to be applied by Mortgagee in payment of the
Obligations, subject to the license granted to Mortgagor pursuant to Section 7.
As further security for the repayment of the Obligations, Mortgagor hereby
assigns and transfers to Mortgagee all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in
and under all management agreements of any nature whatsoever (and any extensions
and renewals thereof) now or hereafter affecting the Security Property (the
"MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS").
(a) Mortgagor hereby empowers Mortgagee, its agents or attorneys, to
demand, collect, sue for, receive, settle, compromise and give
acquittances for all of the rents that may become due under the
Leases and to avail itself of and pursue all remedies for the
enforcement of the Leases and Mortgagor's rights thereunder that
Mortgagor could have pursued but for this assignment. Mortgagee is
hereby vested with full power and authority to use all measures,
legal and equitable, deemed necessary or proper by Mortgagee to
enforce this assignment, to collect the rents so assigned, and/or
to cure any default and perform any covenant of Mortgagor as the
landlord under any of the Leases, including without limitation the
right to enter upon all or any part of the Security Property and
to take possession
Page 9 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1830
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
thereof to the extent necessary to exercise such powers. Mortgagee
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to advance any sums
necessary to exercise such powers, which sums shall bear interest,
shall be paid and shall be secured as provided in paragraph 14.
Mortgagor hereby empowers Mortgagee to use and apply all such
rents and other income of the Security Property to the payment of
the Obligations and all interest thereon and any other
indebtedness or liability of Mortgagor to Mortgagee, and to the
payment of the costs of managing and operating the Security
Property, including without limitation: (i) taxes, special
assessments, insurance premiums, damage claims, and the costs of
maintaining, repairing, rebuilding, restoring and making rentable
the Improvements; (ii) all sums advanced by Mortgagee (with
interest thereon) for the payment of such costs or for any other
reason permitted by this Mortgage or any other Loan Document; and
(iii) all costs, expenses and attorney's fees incurred by
Mortgagee in connection with the enforcement of this Mortgage
and/or any Lease; all in such order of priority as Mortgagee may
deem appropriate in its sole discretion.
(b) Mortgagee shall not be obliged to press any of the rights or
claims of Mortgagor assigned hereby, nor to perform or carry out
any of the obligations of the landlord under any Lease, and
Mortgagee assumes no duty or liability whatsoever in connection
with or arising from or growing out of the covenants of Mortgagor
in any Lease. This Mortgage shall not operate to make Mortgagee
responsible for the control, care, management or repair of all or
any part of the Security Property, nor shall it operate to make
Mortgagee liable for (i) the performance or carrying out of any of
the terms or conditions of any Lease, (ii) any waste of the
Security Property by any tenant or any other person, (iii) any
dangerous or defective condition of the Security Property, nor
(iv) any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control
of all or any part of the Security Property resulting in loss or
injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger.
Mortgagor hereby indemnifies and holds Mortgagee harmless against
any and all liability, loss, claim, damage, costs and attorney's
fees whatsoever which Mortgagee may or might incur under any Lease
or by reason of this assignment, and against any and all claims or
demands whatsoever (and any related costs and attorney's fees)
which may be asserted against Mortgagee by reason of any alleged
obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge
any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any Lease.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting
Mortgagee a trustee or mortgagee in possession.
Page 10 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1831
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
(c) Mortgagor, upon request of Mortgagee, shall promptly deliver to
Mortgagee a true, correct and complete copy of each Lease as and
when Mortgagor shall enter into the same, and Mortgagor shall
procure and deliver to Mortgagee estoppel letters or certificates
from each tenant, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee,
within thirty (30) days after Mortgagee's request therefor.
Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants to Mortgagee (and shall
be deemed to have represented and warranted to Mortgagee upon and
as of the date of delivering to Mortgagee a copy of each Lease),
except as previously or concurrently disclosed to and approved by
Mortgagee in writing: (i) that each such copy delivered (or to be
delivered) to Mortgagee is true, correct and complete; (ii) that
Mortgagor is the sole owner of the entire landlord's interest in
each Lease and has not previously assigned or pledged any Lease or
any interest therein to any person other than Mortgagee; (iii)
that all the Leases are in full force and effect and have not been
altered, modified or amended in any manner whatsoever; (iv) that
each tenant thereunder has accepted that tenant's respective
premises and is paying rent on a current basis; (v) that no
default exists on the part of such tenants or on the part of
Mortgagor as landlord in their respective performances of the
terms, covenants, provisions and agreements contained in the
Leases; (vi) that no rent has been paid by any of the tenants for
more than one (1) month in advance; (vii) that Mortgagor is not
indebted to any tenant in any manner whatsoever so as to give rise
to any right of set-off against or reduction of the rents payable
under any Lease; and (viii) that no payment of rents to accrue
under any Lease has been or will be waived, released, reduced,
discounted or otherwise discharged or compromised by Mortgagor
directly or indirectly, whether by assuming any tenant's
obligations with respect to other premises or otherwise.
(d) Mortgagor covenants and agrees with Mortgagee that each Lease
shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of any merger
of the interests of the landlord and tenant thereunder.
(e) Mortgagor shall, at its own cost and expense, do the following
with respect to any Leases of the Security Property: (i)
faithfully abide by, perform and discharge each and every
obligation, covenant and agreement under the Leases to be
performed by the landlord under such Leases; (ii) enforce or
secure the performance of each and every material obligation,
covenant, condition and agreement of the Leases by the tenants
thereunder to be performed; (iii) not borrow against, pledge or
further assign any rental due under the Leases; (iv) not permit
the prepayment of any rents
Page 11 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1832
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
due under any Lease for more than one (1) month in advance nor for
more than the next accruing installment of rents, nor anticipate,
discount, compromise, forgive, or waive any such rents; (v) not
waive, excuse, condone or in any manner release or discharge any
tenants of or from the obligations, covenants, conditions, and
agreements by said tenants to be performed under the Leases except
in the ordinary and prudent course of business; (vi) not permit
any tenant to assign or sublet its interest in its Lease unless
required to do so by the terms of the Lease, and then only if such
assignment does not work to relieve the tenant of any liability
for payment of and performance of its obligations under the Lease
unless the Lease so requires; (vii) not accept a surrender (unless
required by the terms of a Lease) or terminate any Lease unless
such lease would qualify as a "Permitted Lease" (as defined below)
or the Mortgagor and tenant shall have executed a new Lease
effective upon such surrender or termination for the same terms of
years at a rental not less than as provided in and on terms no
less favorable to the landlord than as in that Lease being
replaced; (viii) not consent to a subordination of the interest of
any tenant to any party other than Mortgagee and then only if
specifically consented to by the Mortgagee; and (ix) not amend or
modify any of the Leases or alter the obligations of the parties
thereunder, except in the ordinary and prudent course of business
which does not reduce the rent or diminish the term thereof or the
obligations of the tenant thereunder or increase the term of the
tenancy or impose additional obligations or burdens on the
landlord.
(f) Although Mortgagor and Mortgagee intend that this instrument shall
be a present assignment of the Leases and the rents, income,
issues and profits of the Security Property, it is expressly
understood and agreed that so long as no Event of Default shall
exist under this Mortgage and no default or event of default shall
exist under any other Loan Document, Mortgagor may collect, and is
hereby granted a license to collect, assigned rents, income,
issues, and profits for not more than one (1) month in advance of
the accrual thereof, but upon the occurrence of any such Event of
Default under this Mortgage or the occurrence of any default or
event of default under any other Loan Document, or at any time
during its continuance, all rights and license of Mortgagor to
collect or receive rents or profits shall wholly terminate upon
notice from Mortgagee, and Mortgagee may apply all rents collected
to the Obligations in such order and priority as Mortgagee so
elects in its sole discretion. The tenants under all the Leases
are hereby irrevocably authorized to rely upon and comply with
(and shall be fully protected in so doing) any notice or demand
by Mortgagee for the
Page 12 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1833
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
payment to Mortgagee of any rental or other sums which may be or
thereafter become due under the Leases, or for the performance of
any of the tenants' undertakings under the Leases, and none of
them shall have any right or duty to inquire as to whether any
default hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have
actually occurred or is then existing.
(g) Mortgagor has conditionally assigned to Mortgagee by separate
agreement of even date herewith all Leases and rents with respect
to the Security Property, which assignment is in addition to, and
cumulative with, the assignment and rights granted to Mortgagee
herein. Mortgagee shall have the right to approve any Management
Agreement with respect to the Security Property hereafter entered
into by Mortgagee, and all managers and management companies
thereby selected by Mortgagor and, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default under this Mortgage or the occurrence of a default or
event of default under any other Loan Document or under the
Management Agreement, such Management Agreement may be terminated
by Mortgagee at no cost to Mortgagee upon prior written notice to
the manager under the Management Agreement. The manager under each
existing Management Agreement has agreed to the foregoing and that
its Management Agreement is subject and subordinate in all
respects to this Mortgage. Any Management Agreement hereafter
entered into by Grantor shall expressly provide that such
Management Agreement may be terminated by Mortgagee at no cost to
Mortgagee upon prior written notice to the manager under the
Management Agreement and that the Management Agreement is subject
and subordinate in all respects to this Mortgage. Mortgagor has
heretofore delivered to Mortgagee a true and complete copy of any
Management Agreements affecting the Security Property and any and
all amendments or modifications thereof. Grantor agrees that it
will not modify or amend any Management Agreement without
Mortgagee's prior written consent.
(h) Mortgagor shall not enter into any new lease with respect to the
Security Property without Mortgagee's prior written consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary or
inconsistent provision of this Mortgage or any other Loan
Documents, so long as no Event of Default has occurred hereunder,
Mortgagor may, without Mortgagee's consent, enter into new leases,
or modify or amend existing leases, so long as such new or amended
lease (a) has an initial lease term of no more than five (5) years
and a total lease term, including available extensions, of no more
than ten (10) years; and (b) leases space of no more than 7,500
square feet of building space (no vacant land may be leased); and
(c) is entered into at
Page 13 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1834
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
arms length, in the ordinary course of business, on market rates
and terms, using sound business judgment, and (d) is on a standard
lease form approved by Mortgagee in writing (herein called a
"PERMITTED LEASE").
8. FURTHER ENCUMBRANCES. Mortgagor shall not grant any other lien or
mortgage on all or any part of the Security Property or any interest therein nor
make any further assignment of the Leases and rentals of the Security Property
without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which Mortgagee may grant or
withhold in its sole discretion; any such unpermitted lien or mortgage or
assignment by Mortgagor, being herein called an "ENCUMBRANCE", shall entitle
Mortgagee to declare the Obligations immediately due and payable and to
foreclose this Mortgage. Any such other lien or mortgage or assignment shall be
junior to this Mortgage and to all permitted tenancies now or hereafter
affecting the Security Property or any portion thereof and shall be subject to
all renewals, extensions, modifications, releases, interest rate increases,
future advances, changes or exchanges permitted by this Mortgage, all without
the joinder or consent of such junior lienholder or mortgagee or assignee and
without any obligation on Mortgagee's part to give notice of any kind thereto.
Mortgagor shall maintain in good standing any other mortgage or encumbrance to
secure debt affecting any part of the Security Property from time to time and
shall not commit or permit or suffer to occur any default thereunder, nor shall
Mortgagor accept any future advance under or modify the terms of any such
mortgage or encumbrance which may then be superior to the lien of this Mortgage.
Except for encumbrances permitted by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall not commit or
permit or suffer to occur any act or omission whereby any of the security
represented by this Mortgage shall be impaired or threatened, or whereby any of
the Security Property or any interest therein shall become subject to any
attachment, judgment, lien, charge or other encumbrance whatsoever, and
Mortgagor shall immediately cause any such attachment, judgment, lien, charge or
other encumbrance to be discharged or otherwise bonded or transferred to other
security. Mortgagor shall not directly or indirectly do anything or take any
action which might prejudice any of the right, title or interest of Mortgagee in
or to any of the Security Property or impose or create any direct or indirect
obligation or liability on the part of Mortgagee with respect to any of the
Security Property.
9. PROHIBITED TRANSFERS. Mortgagor shall not cause or permit or suffer to
occur any of the following events (a "DISPOSITION") without the prior written
consent of Mortgagee, which Mortgagee may grant or withhold in its sole
discretion, and if any of the same shall occur without such consent, then
Mortgagee shall have the right to declare the Obligations immediately due and
payable and to foreclose this Mortgage: (a) if all or any portion of the legal
or equitable or beneficial title to all or any portion of the Security Property
or any interest therein shall in any manner whatsoever be sold, conveyed or
transferred, either voluntarily or by operation of law; or (b) in the case of
any portion of the Security Property directly or indirectly owned by a
corporation (or a partnership or joint venture or limited liability company or
trust or other business entity), if any stock or partnership interest or joint
venture interest or member interest or beneficial interest in such owner shall
be transferred (whether among the then existing partners,
Page 14 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1835
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
stockholders, members or other beneficial owners, or otherwise), or if such
stock or partnership interest or joint venture interest or beneficial interest
shall be assigned, pledged, hypothecated, mortgaged or otherwise encumbered. It
is expressly agreed that, in connection with determining whether to grant or
withhold consent to any Disposition or Encumbrance, the determination made by
Mortgagee shall be conclusive and Mortgagee may require as conditions to
granting such consent (1) an increase in the rate of interest payable under the
Note, (2) payment to Mortgagee of a transfer fee, (3) payment of Mortgagee's
reasonable attorneys' fees in connection with such Disposition or Encumbrance,
(4) the express assumption of the payment of the Obligations by the party to
whom such Disposition will be made (with or without, in Mortgagee's sole
discretion, the release of Mortgagor from liability for such Obligations).
The following transfers shall not be in violation of this paragraph 9: (i)
Public utility easements for the benefit of the Security Property; and (ii)
involuntary conveyances which are removed or reconveyed within 90 days; and
(iii) a transfer as the result of the death of an obligor who is a natural
person, provided that a transferee acceptable to the Beneficiary assumes the
liability of the decedent with respect to the Loan within 90 days of the
person's death; and (iv) trades of the publicly traded stock of Equity One,
Inc., a Maryland corporation ("GUARANTOR"), in the ordinary course of business;
and (v) changes in the corporate structure of Guarantor so long as (i) such
changes do not directly affect Mortgagor or any of the Security Property, and
(ii) Guarantor's net worth before and after any such changes is and remains in
excess of $50,000,000.00, as determined by Mortgagee, and in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee will allow a one-time transfer of
the Security Property with all terms of the Note otherwise remaining the same,
if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the Obligations are current and
not in default of any kind at the time of transfer; (2) the transferee
demonstrates financial credentials, creditworthiness, and management ability
acceptable to Mortgagee in its sole discretion; (3) Mortgagee receives a
transfer fee equal to one percent of the outstanding balance of the Obligations;
(4) the structure of the transaction, including the form of purchasing
transferee entity, secondary financing (if any), third party guarantees and
indemnifications and other fundamental matters, is acceptable to Mortgagee in
its sole discretion; (5) the transferee executes an environmental certificate
and indemnity agreement in form and content satisfactory to Mortgagee; (6) the
transferee executes an assumption agreement and such other documentation
reasonably requested by Mortgagee to evidence such transfer and to preserve and
continue the security interests of Mortgagee in the Security Property and other
collateral for the Obligations, in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagee
in Mortgagee's reasonable discretion; (7) the purchaser executes an indemnity
agreement protecting Mortgagee against loss or damage because of the Security
Property's failure to comply with applicable laws and governmental regulations,
including those pertaining to access of handicapped or disabled persons; and (8)
Mortgagee receives payment of all taxes, costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith, including Mortgagee's attorneys' fees.

10. FURTHER ASSURANCES. From time to time and on demand, Mortgagor shall
execute and deliver to Mortgagee (and pay the costs of preparing and recording)
any further instruments required by Mortgagee to reaffirm, correct or perfect
the evidence of the Obligations secured hereby and the lien and security
interest of Mortgagee in all the Security Property and all additions,
replacements and proceeds, including but not limited to mortgages, security
agreements, financing statements, assignments and renewal and substitution
notes.
11. ESTOPPEL LETTERS AND INFORMATION. Within three (3) days after request
in person or within five (5) days after request by mail, Mortgagor shall furnish
to Mortgagee a written statement, duly acknowledged, of the amount of principal
and interest and other sums then owing on the Obligations and whether any
offsets, counterclaims or defenses exist against the Obligations. Mortgagor
shall promptly furnish to Mortgagee any financial or other information regarding
Mortgagor or the Security Property required by any Loan Document or which
Mortgagee may reasonably request from time to time.
12. NOTICES. Whenever Mortgagor or Mortgagee are obliged to give notice to
the other, such notice shall be in writing and shall be given personally, by an
overnight courier which provides for a return receipt or by prepaid certified
mail (return receipt requested), in which latter case notice shall be deemed
effectively made when the receipt is signed or when the attempted initial
delivery is refused or cannot be made because of a change of address of which
the sending party has not been notified. Any notice to Mortgagee shall be
addressed to the attention of a Vice President or higher officer. Until the
designated addresses are changed by notice given in accordance with this
paragraph, notice to either party shall be sent to the respective address set
forth on the first page of this Mortgage.
13. DEFAULT. At Mortgagee's option, all of the principal and interest and
other sums secured by this Mortgage shall immediately or at any time thereafter
become due and payable without notice to any Obligor, and Mortgagee shall
immediately have all the rights accorded Mortgagee by law and hereunder to
foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise to enforce this Mortgage and any other Loan
Document, upon the occurrence of any of the following defaults (an "EVENT OF
DEFAULT"): (a) failure to pay any sum due under any Loan Document and the
expiration of the grace period (if any) provided therein; or (b) failure to pay
any tax, assessment, utility charge, or other charge against the Security
Property or any part thereof as and when required by this Mortgage; or (c) any
waste, impairment, abandonment, deterioration, removal, demolition, material
alteration or enlargement of any existing Improvements, or the commencement of
construction of any new Improvements, in either case without the prior written
consent of Mortgagee, which Mortgagee may grant or withhold in its sole
discretion; or (d) failure to keep in force the policies of insurance required
by this Mortgage or any other Loan Document; or (e) Mortgagor's failure or
refusal to provide any estoppel certificate within the time required by this
Mortgage; or (f) Mortgagor's recordation of any notice limiting the amount of
future advances that may be secured by this Mortgage; or (g) any unpermitted
sale, transfer

(whether voluntary or by operation of law), conveyance or further encumbering of
all or any part of the Security Property or any interest therein, or the
additional assignment of all or any part of the rents, income or profits arising
therefrom; or (h) Mortgagor's failure to remove any involuntary lien on the
Security Property or any part thereof within twenty (20) days after its filing,
or the filing of any suit against the Security Property upon any claim or lien
other than this Mortgage (whether superior or inferior to this Mortgage); or (i)
Mortgagor's failure to comply within ten (10) days with a requirement, order or
notice of violation of a law, ordinance, or regulation issued or promulgated by
any political subdivision or governmental department claiming jurisdiction over
the Security Property or any operation conducted on the Security Property (or,
if such order or notice provides a time period for compliance, Mortgagor's
failure to comply within such period), or, in the case of a curable
noncompliance requiring longer than the applicable time period for its cure,
Mortgagor's failure to commence to comply with said order or notice within said
period or failure thereafter to pursue such cure diligently to completion; or
(j) the issuance of any order by the state in which the Security Property is
located, or any subdivision, instrumentality, administrative board or department
thereof, declaring unlawful or suspending any operation conducted on the
Security Property; or (k) if any representation, warranty, affidavit,
certificate or statement made or delivered to Mortgagee by or on behalf of any
Obligor from time to time in connection with the Obligations or this Mortgage or
any other Loan Document shall prove false, incorrect or misleading in any
respect deemed material by Mortgagee; or (l) the dissolution or merger or
consolidation or termination of existence of any other Obligor, or the failure
or cessation or liquidation of the business of any Obligor, or if the person(s)
controlling any Obligor which is a business entity shall take any action
authorizing or leading to the same; or (m) any default by any Obligor in the
payment of any indebtedness for borrowed money (whether direct or contingent and
whether matured or accelerated) to Mortgagee, or if any Obligor shall become
insolvent or unable to pay such Obligor's debts as they become due; or (n) the
disposition or transfer or exchange of all or substantially all of any Obligor's
assets for less than fair market value, or the issuance of any levy, attachment,
charging order, garnishment or other process against the Security Property, or
the filing of any lien against the Security Property (and the expiration of any
grace period provided in any Loan Document for the discharge of such lien); or
(o) if any Obligor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, file a
petition in bankruptcy, apply to or petition any tribunal for the appointment of
a custodian, receiver, intervenor or trustee for such Obligor or a substantial
part of such Obligor's assets, or if any Obligor shall commence any proceeding
under any bankruptcy, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or
liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in
effect, or if any Obligor shall by act or omission approve, consent to or
acquiesce in the filing of any such petition or application against such Obligor
or the appointment of any such custodian, receiver, intervenor or trustee or the
commencement of any such proceeding against such Obligor or the entry of an
order for relief with respect to such Obligor, or if any such petition or
application shall have been filed or proceeding commenced against any Obligor
which remains undismissed for thirty (30) days or more or in which an order for
relief is entered, or if any Obligor shall suffer any such appointment of a
custodian, receiver, intervenor or trustee to
Page 17 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1838
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
continue undischarged for thirty (30) days or more; or (p) if any Obligor while
insolvent shall have concealed, transferred, removed, or permitted to be
concealed or transferred or removed, any part of such Obligor's property with
intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of such Obligor's creditors, or if any
Obligor shall have made or suffered a transfer of any of such Obligor's
properties which may be invalid under any bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance,
preference or similar law, or if any Obligor while insolvent shall have made any
transfer of such Obligor's properties to or for the benefit of any creditor at a
time when other creditors similarly situated have not been paid; or (q)
Mortgagor's failure to provide the documents required by paragraph 29 after 15
days' written notice; or (r) the existence of any uncured default under any
other mortgage or encumbrance affecting any part of the Security Property then
encumbered by this Mortgage (in the case of a default for which such mortgage or
other encumbrance provides a grace period, if the default remains uncured after
the expiration of that grace period), or Mortgagor's acceptance of any future
advance under, or modification of the terms of, any such other mortgage or
encumbrance which may then be superior to the lien of this Mortgage; or (s)
Mortgagee's election to declare the Obligations due and payable under the
provisions of any other Loan Document; or (t) any default in the observance or
performance of any other covenant or agreement of any Obligor in this Mortgage
or any other Loan Document, the occurrence of any other event prohibited by the
terms of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, or the violation of any other
provision of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document. No consent or waiver
expressed or implied by Mortgagee with respect to any default under this
Mortgage shall be construed as a consent or waiver with respect to any further
default of the same or a different nature; and no consent or waiver shall be
deemed or construed to exist by reason of any curative action initiated by
Mortgagee or any other course of conduct or in any other manner whatsoever
except by a writing duly executed by Mortgagee, and then only for the single
occasion to which such writing is addressed. In order to declare the Obligations
due and payable because of Mortgagor's failure to pay any tax, assessment,
insurance premium, charge, liability, obligation or encumbrance upon the
Security Property as required by this Mortgage, or because of any other default,
Mortgagee shall not be required to pay the same or to advance funds to cure the
default, notwithstanding Mortgagee's option under this Mortgage or any other
Loan Document to do so; no such payment or advance by Mortgagee shall be deemed
or construed a waiver of Mortgagee's right to declare the Obligations due and
payable on account of such failure or other default.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, no non-monetary default
shall be deemed an Event of Default if (a) the default is curable; and (b) such
default is cured within fifteen (15) days after Mortgagor's receipt of written
notice thereof or, if not curable with due diligence within fifteen (15) days,
Mortgagor commences such cure within such fifteen (15) days and diligently
prosecutes such cure to completion, as determined by Mortgagee.
14. ADVANCES BY MORTGAGEE. In the event of any default in the performance
of any of Mortgagor's covenants or agreements contained in this Mortgage or any
other Loan Document or the violation of any term thereof, Mortgagee shall have
the right (but in no event the
Page 18 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1839
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
obligation) at its option to cure the default or take any other action Mortgagee
deems necessary or desirable to protect its security (including without
limitation the payment of any taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, charges,
liens or encumbrances required of Mortgagor under this Mortgage), without
thereby waiving any rights or remedies otherwise available to Mortgagee. If
Mortgagee shall elect to advance at any time any sum(s) for the protection of
its security or for any other reason permitted or provided by any of the terms
of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, then such sum(s) shall be deemed
Obligations, shall be repaid by Mortgagor on demand, shall be secured by this
Mortgage and shall bear interest until paid at the lesser of the non-default
interest rate provided for in /Section/2 of the Note plus five percent (5%) per
annum, or at the highest rate allowed by applicable law, commencing on the date
they are advanced by Mortgagee. Mortgagee's lien on the Security Property for
such advances shall be superior to any right or title to, interest in, or claim
upon all or any portion of the Security Property junior to the lien of this
Mortgage.
15. RECEIVER. In addition to all other remedies herein provided for,
Mortgagor agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee
shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to an ex parte appointment of a
receiver or receivers for all or any part of the Security Property without
regard to the value of the Security Property or the solvency of any person or
persons liable for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and Mortgagor
does hereby consent to the appointment of such receiver or receivers, waives any
and all defenses to such appointment and agrees not to oppose any application
therefor by the Mortgagee, but nothing herein is to be construed to deprive the
Mortgagee of any other right, remedy or privilege it may now have under the law
to have a receiver appointed; provided, however, that the appointment of such
receiver, trustee or other appointee by virtue of any court order, statute or
regulation shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of the
Mortgagee to receive payment of the rents and income. Any money advanced by the
Mortgagee in connection with any such receivership shall be a demand obligation
owing by Mortgagor to the Mortgagee and shall bear interest from the date of
making such advancement by the Mortgagee until paid at the default rate provided
in the Note and shall be a part of the Obligations and shall be secured by this
Mortgage and by every other instrument securing the Obligations. The receiver or
his agents shall be entitled to enter upon and take possession of any and all of
the Security Property. The receiver, personally or through its agents or
attorneys, may exclude Mortgagor and its agents, servants and employees wholly
from the Security Property and have, hold, use, operate, manage and control the
same and each and every part thereof, and keep insured, the properties,
equipment and apparatus provided or required for use in connection with the
business or business operated on the Security Property, and make all such
necessary and proper repairs, renewals and replacements and all such useful
alterations, additions, betterments and improvements as the receiver may deem
judicious. Such receivership shall, at the option of the Mortgagee, continue
until full payment of all sums, hereby secured, then due and payable or until
title to the Security Property shall have passed by foreclosure sale under this
Mortgage and the period of redemption, if any, shall have expired.

16. REMEDIES.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the remedies available
to Mortgagee shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, any
one or more of the following:
(i) Mortgagee may declare the entire unpaid balance of the Note
and all accrued interest thereon, together with the prepayment premium (as
defined in the Note), immediately due and payable without further notice;
(ii) Mortgagee may take immediate possession of the Security
Property or any part thereof (which Mortgagor agrees to surrender to Mortgagee)
and manage control or lease the same to such person or persons and at such
rental as it may deem proper and collect all the rents, issues and profits
therefrom, including those past due as well as those thereafter accruing, with
the right in the Mortgagee to cancel any lease or sublease for any cause which
would entitle Mortgagor to cancel the same; to make such expenditures for
maintenance, repairs and costs of operation as it may deem advisable; and after
deducting the cost thereof and a commission of five (5%) percent upon the gross
amounts of rents collected, to apply the residue to the payment of any sums
which are unpaid hereunder or under the Note. The taking of possession under
this paragraph shall not prevent concurrent or later proceedings for the
foreclosure sale of the Security Property as provided elsewhere herein;
(iii) Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage
and in case of sale in action or proceeding to foreclose this Mortgage, the
Mortgagee shall have the right to sell the Security Property covered hereby in
parts or as an entirety. It is intended hereby to give to the Mortgagee the
widest possible discretion permitted by law with respect to all aspects of any
such sale or sales;
(iv) Without declaring the entire unpaid principal balance due,
the Mortgagee may foreclose only as to the sum past due, without injury to this
Mortgage the displacement or impairment of the remainder of the lien thereof,
and at such foreclosure sale the Premises shall be sold subject to all remaining
items of indebtedness; and Mortgagee may again foreclose, in the same manner, as
often as there may be any sum past due;
(v) Mortgagor hereby waives any appraisement before sale of any
portion of the Security Property, commonly known as appraisement laws, the
benefit of any laws now or hereafter enacted which in any way may extend the
time for enforcement of the collection of the indebtedness secured hereby or
creating or extending any period of redemption from any sale made in collecting
said indebtedness, commonly known as stay laws and redemption laws, all rights
of marshalling in the event of foreclosure of any lien or security interest
created by this Mortgage and;
Page 20 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1841
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
(vi) The Note provides that in the event the Mortgagee must
accelerate the debt secured hereunder because of Mortgagor's default, including
the unauthorized transfer sale or assignment of the Security Property as
specified in Section 9 above, Mortgagee shall be entitled to the prepayment
premium (as defined in the Note) as agreed liquidated damages to compensate the
Mortgagee hereof for its failure to receive the stated interest rate yield for
the stated term of the Note.
(b) Mortgagor expressly agrees on behalf of itself, its successors and
assigns and any future owner of the Security Property, or any part
thereof or interest therein as follows:
(i) All remedies available to Mortgagee with respect to this
Mortgage shall be cumulative and may be pursued concurrently or successively. No
delay by Mortgagee in exercising any such remedy shall operate as a waiver
thereof or preclude the exercise thereof during the continuance of that or any
subsequent default;
(ii) The obtaining of a judgment or decree on the Note, whether in
the State of Florida or elsewhere, shall not in any manner affect the lien of
this Mortgage upon the Premises covered hereby, and any judgment or decree so
obtained shall be secured hereby to the same extent as said Note is now secured;
(iii) In event of any foreclosure sale hereunder, all net proceeds
shall be available for application to the indebtedness hereby secured whether or
not such proceeds may exceed the value of the Security Property for recordation
tax, mortgage tax, insurance or other purposes; and
(iv) The only limitation upon the foregoing instruments as to the
exercise of Mortgagee's remedies is that there shall be but one full and
complete satisfaction of the indebtedness secured hereby.
(c) Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of
any indebtedness or obligations secured hereby and to exercise all
rights and powers under this Mortgage or the Note secured hereby
or under any other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in
force, notwithstanding some or all of the said indebtedness and
obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise
secured, where by mortgage, deed or trust, pledge, lien,
assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage
nor its enforcement shall prejudice or in any manner affect
Mortgagee's right to realize upon or enforce any other security
now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee
shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security
now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as
Mortgagee may in its absolute discretion
Page 21 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1842
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
determine. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved by
Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein
or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. every
power or remedy given to Mortgagee or to which it may be otherwise
entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee
and it may pursue inconsistent remedies.
17. NO JURY TRIAL. Mortgagee, Mortgagor and each Obligor hereby severally,
voluntarily, knowingly and intentionally WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY
JURY in any legal action or proceeding arising under or in connection with this
Mortgage or any other Loan Document or concerning the Obligations and/or the
Security Property or pertaining to any transaction related to or contemplated in
this Mortgage, regardless of whether such action or proceeding concerns any
contractual or tortuous or other claim. Each Obligor severally acknowledges that
this waiver of jury trial is a material inducement to Mortgagee in extending the
credit described herein, that Mortgagee would not have extended such credit
without this jury trial waiver, and that such Obligor has been represented by an
attorney or has had an opportunity to consult with an attorney regarding this
Mortgage and understands the legal effect of this jury trial waiver.
18. FEES AND EXPENSES. Mortgagor shall pay any and all costs, expenses and
attorney's fees incurred by Mortgagee (regardless of whether in connection with
any action, proceeding or appeal) to sustain the lien of this Mortgage or its
priority, to protect or enforce any of Mortgagee's rights under this Mortgage or
under any other Loan Document, to recover any indebtedness secured hereby, to
contest or collect any award or payment in connection with the taking or
condemnation of all or any part of the Security Property, or for any title
examination or abstract preparation or appraisal or title insurance policy
relating to the Security Property, and all such sums shall bear interest, shall
be paid and shall be secured as provided in paragraph 14.
19. CONDEMNATION. Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution
or pending institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Security
Property or any portion thereof, Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee thereof.
Mortgagee may participate in any such proceedings and may be represented therein
by counsel of its selection, and Mortgagor will deliver to Mortgagee all
instruments requested by Mortgagee from time to time to permit or facilitate
such participation. In the event of any such condemnation proceedings, the award
or compensation payable is hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Mortgagee,
and Mortgagee shall not be obligated to question the amount of any such award or
compensation. At Mortgagee's option, all or any portion of the award or
compensation shall be applied toward payment of the Obligations (in any order of
priority Mortgagee may deem appropriate in its sole discretion) or shall be
disbursed to Mortgagor from time to time for the restoration of the Security
Property in
Page 22 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1843
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
the same manner as disbursements under a construction loan; Mortgagee shall not
be obligated to see to the proper application by Mortgagor of any such
disbursement. Notwithstanding any such condemnation award or compensation or the
rate of interest payable thereon, Mortgagor shall continue to pay interest on
the Obligations except to the extent that Mortgagee shall have actually received
and applied the award or compensation against the Obligations. If all of the
Security Property is so taken but the award or compensation is insufficient to
pay the Obligations in full, then at Mortgagee's option the unpaid balance shall
be immediately due and payable.
All proceeds paid under any condemnation will be paid to Mortgagee.
However, notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Mortgagee agrees that
such proceeds may be used for restoration of damaged Improvements if the
following conditions are fulfilled:
1. No Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under this
Mortgage, and no event has occurred which, with the lapse of time
or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of
Default under this Mortgage.
2. Such restoration can be fully accomplished within one hundred
eighty (180) days.
3. Such restoration will be performed in accordance with plans and
specifications approved in writing by Mortgagee.
4. The cost of restoration does not exceed thirty percent (30%) of
the outstanding Loan balance. Additionally, Mortgagee must be
given satisfactory evidence that, by expenditure of the
condemnation proceeds, the damage to the Security Property can be
fully repaired, free and clear of all liens, except for the lien
of this Mortgage.
5. No waiver of payments due under the Note or other Loan Documents
occurs while the Security Property is being restored.
If all of the above conditions are not satisfied, the proceeds will be
applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan with all terms
(including, but not limited to, repayments terms) remaining the same.
If the above conditions are met, the condemnation proceeds received, after
deducting therefrom any expenses incurred in the collection thereof, shall be
disbursed periodically in accordance with procedures established by Mortgagee as
restoration work is completed.
20. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS AND INTANGIBLE TAXES. If at any time the state in
which the Security Property is located shall determine that an intangible tax,
documentary tax or other similar tax shall be paid in connection with this
Mortgage is insufficient or that additional
Page 23 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1844
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
intangible or other tax should be paid, then Mortgagor shall pay for the same,
together with any interest or penalties imposed in connection with such
determination, and Mortgagor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Mortgagee
harmless therefrom. If any such sums shall be advanced by Mortgagee, they shall
bear interest, shall be paid and shall be secured as provided in paragraph 14.
21. NO SHIFT OF TAXES. If any federal, state or local law shall hereafter
be enacted which (a) for the purpose of ad valorem taxation shall deduct the
amount of any lien from the value of real property, or (b) shall impose on
Mortgagee the payment of all or any part of the taxes or assessments or charges
required to be paid hereunder by Mortgagor, or (c) shall change in any way the
laws for the taxation of mortgages or debts secured thereby or Mortgagee's
interest in the Security Property, or shall change the manner of collecting such
taxes, so as to affect this Mortgage or the debt secured hereby or the holder
thereof, then upon demand Mortgagor shall pay such taxes or assessments or
charges imposed on Mortgagee or shall reimburse Mortgagee therefor; provided,
however, that if in the opinion of Mortgagee's counsel the requirement that
Mortgagor make such payments might be unlawful or might result in the imposition
of interest in excess of the maximum lawful rate, then Mortgagee shall have the
right to declare the Obligations to be due and payable thirty (30) days after
notice thereof to Mortgagor.
22. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE. This Mortgage is a "security agreement" and
creates a "security interest" in favor of Mortgagee as a "secured party" with
respect to all property included in the Security Property which is covered by
the Uniform Commercial Code, including but not limited to the Collateral and
Intangibles. Upon default under this Mortgage or any other Loan Document,
Mortgagee may at its option pursue any and all rights and remedies available to
a secured party with respect to any portion of the Security Property so covered
by the Uniform Commercial Code, or Mortgagee may at its option proceed as to all
or any part of the Security Property in accordance with Mortgagee's rights and
remedies in respect of real property to the extent permitted by law. Mortgagor
and Mortgagee agree that the mention of any portion of the Security Property in
a financing statement filed in the records normally pertaining to personal
property shall never derogate from or impair in any way their declared intention
that all items of collateral described in this Mortgage are part of the real
estate encumbered hereby to the fullest extent permitted by law, regardless of
whether any such item is physically attached to the Improvements or whether
serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items of
Collateral. Specifically, the mention in any such financing statement of (a) the
rights in or the proceeds of any insurance policy, (b) any award in eminent
domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, (c) Mortgagor's interest
as lessor in any present or future Lease or right to income growing out of the
use or occupancy of the Land or Improvements, whether pursuant to Lease or
otherwise, or (d) any other item included in the definition of the Security
Property shall never be construed to alter any of the rights of Mortgagee as
determined by this Mortgage or to impugn the priority of Mortgagee's lien and
security interest with respect to the Security
Page 24 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1845
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
Property; such mention in a financing statement is declared to be for the
protection of Mortgagee in the event any court shall hold that notice of
Mortgagee's priority of interest with respect to any such portion of the
Security Property must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records in order
to be effective against or to take priority over any particular class of
persons, including but not limited to the federal government and any subdivision
or instrumentality of the federal government.
23. PAYMENTS TO MORTGAGEE. Any payment made in accordance with the terms of
the Loan Documents by any person at any time liable for the payment of the whole
or any part of the Obligations, by any subsequent owner of the Security
Property, or by any other person whose interest in the Security Property might
be prejudiced in the event of a failure to make such payment (or by any partner,
stockholder, officer or director of any such person), shall be deemed, as
between Mortgagee and all such persons who at any time may be so liable or may
have an interest in the Security Property, to have been made on behalf of all
such persons. Mortgagee's acceptance of any payment which is less than full
payment of all amounts then due and payable to Mortgagee, even if made by one
other than the person liable therefor, shall not constitute a waiver of any
rights or remedies of Mortgagee.
24. CONSENT TO CHANGES. Mortgagor consents and agrees that, at any time and
from time to time without notice, (a) Mortgagee and the owner(s) of any
collateral then securing the Obligations may agree to release, increase, change,
substitute or exchange all or any part of such collateral, and (b) Mortgagee and
any person(s) then primarily liable for the Obligations may agree to renew,
extend or compromise the Obligations in whole or in part or to modify the terms
of the Obligations in any respect whatsoever. Mortgagor agrees that no such
release, increase, change, substitution, exchange, renewal, extension,
compromise or modification, no sale of the Security Property or any part
thereof, no forbearance on the part of Mortgagee, nor any other indulgence given
by Mortgagee (whether with or without consideration) shall relieve or diminish
in any manner the liability of any Obligor, nor adversely affect the priority of
this Mortgage, nor limit or prejudice or impair any right or remedy of
Mortgagee. All Obligors and all those claiming by, through or under any of them
hereby jointly and severally waive any and all right to prior notice of, and any
and all defenses or claims based upon, any such release, increase, change,
substitution, exchange, renewal, extension, compromise, modification, sale,
forbearance or indulgence.
25. GOVERNING LAW. This Mortgage shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, excepting only
that federal law shall govern to the extent it may permit Mortgagee to charge,
from time to time, interest on the Obligations at a rate higher than may be
permissible under applicable law.
26. NO USURY. All amounts paid on this Note which are deemed interest
shall, for the purpose of the calculation provided for herein, be deemed and
considered to be spread over the
Page 25 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1846
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
entire period from the date hereof to the date of final payment of the Note. In
no event shall any agreed to or actual exaction charged, reserved or taken as an
advance or forbearance by Mortgagee as consideration for the Obligations exceed
the limits (if any) imposed or provided by the law applicable from time to time
to the Obligations for the use or detention of money or for forbearance in
seeking its collection; Mortgagee hereby waives any right to demand any such
excess. In the event that the interest provisions of the Loan Documents or any
exactions required thereunder shall result at any time or for any reason in an
effective rate of interest that transcends the maximum interest rate permitted
by applicable law (if any), then without further agreement or notice the
obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to such limit and all
sums received by Mortgagee in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest
shall be applied against the principal of the Obligations immediately upon
Mortgagee's receipt thereof, with the same force and effect as though the payor
had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and
Mortgagee had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free
prepayment or prepayments.
27. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Mortgage which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction only, be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
28. INSPECTION AND WATCHMEN. Mortgagee and any persons authorized by
Mortgagee shall have the right, from time to time at the discretion of
Mortgagee, to enter and inspect the Security Property. At any time after default
under the terms of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, if any of the
Improvements or Collateral shall be unprotected or unguarded, or if any of the
Improvements shall be allowed to remain vacant or deserted, then at its option
Mortgagee may employ watchmen for the Security Property and expend any monies
deemed necessary by Mortgagee to protect the same from waste, vandalism and
other hazards, depredation or injury, and any sums expended by Mortgagee for
such purpose shall bear interest, shall be paid and shall be secured as provided
in paragraph 14.
29. OPERATING STATEMENTS. Mortgagor will keep accurate books and records in
accordance with accounting principles consistently applied in which full, true
and correct entries shall be promptly made as to all operations on the Security
Property. Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, Mortgagor will
furnish Mortgagee with annual operating and financial statements covering the
Security Property, together with a rent roll, all certified by a principal of
Mortgagor, and all in form satisfactory to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall be charged
a fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) for the failure to provide any of the
foregoing within the prescribed time period, provided, however, that Mortgagee
shall give Mortgagor fifteen (15) days' notice and opportunity to provide the
foregoing before imposing such fee.
Page 26 of 36

(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
30. INDEMNITY. In the event Mortgagee shall be named as a party to any
lawsuit brought at any time against Mortgagor or with respect to the Security
Property or this Mortgage or the Obligations, or if any claim shall be made
against Mortgagee in connection with the Security Property, then regardless of
the merits of such lawsuit Mortgagor shall defend Mortgagee and indemnify and
hold Mortgagee fully harmless from any and all claims, demands, damages,
liabilities, judgments, penalties, losses, costs, expenses and attorney's fees
arising out of or resulting from any such lawsuit or any appeal in connection
therewith.
31. NO PARTNERSHIP. Mortgagor and Mortgagee hereby acknowledge and agree
that Mortgagee is not, has never been, and shall not be deemed a partner or
joint venturer of Mortgagor or any other Obligor with respect to the Security
Property, and that the relationship of Mortgagee to said parties is, has always
been, and shall continue to be strictly the role of a lender. Mortgagor hereby
(a) waives and relinquishes any and all claims, demands, counterclaims and/or
defenses alleging the existence of any partnership, joint venture or other
fiduciary relationship between any of them and Mortgagee, and (b) agrees to
indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless against any and all losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any
other fees, costs and expenses that Mortgagee may sustain as the result of any
such allegation by any person whomsoever.
32. ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS; GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Mortgagor represents and
warrants to Mortgagee that Mortgagor has undertaken an appropriate inquiry into
the previous ownership and uses of the Security Property consistent with good
commercial or customary practice in an effort to minimize liability with respect
to any Hazardous Substances (as hereinafter defined). To the best of Mortgagor's
knowledge and except as disclosed in the environmental report provided by
Mortgagor to Mortgagee, or as otherwise disclosed to Mortgagee in writing,
Mortgagor represents and warrants that (i) neither the Security Property nor the
operations or activities conducted thereon violate any local, state or federal
law, rule or regulation or duty under applicable common law pertaining to human
health, safety, protection of the environment, natural resources, conservation,
waste management or pollution (the "Environmental Laws"), including, without
limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. /Section/9601 ET SEQ.), the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. /Section/6901 ET SEQ.), the Clean Air Act (42
U.S.C. /Section/7401 et seq.), the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33
U.S.C. /Section/1251 ET SEQ.), the Emergency Planning and
Community-Right-to-Know Act (42 U.S.C. /Section/11001 ET SEQ.), the Endangered
Species Act (16 U.S.C. /Section/1531 et seq.), the Toxic Substances Control Act
(15 U.S.C. /Section/2601 et seq.), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (29
U.S.C. /Section/651 ET SEQ.) and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (49
U.S.C. /Section/1801 ET SEQ.), regulations promulgated pursuant to said laws,
all as amended from time to time the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33
U.S.C. /Section/1251 ET SEQ.); (ii) no hazardous substances, toxic substances or
harmful substances, hazardous wastes, hazardous materials, pollutants or
contaminants (including, without limitation, asbestos or asbestos-containing
materials, lead based paint, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum or
Page 27 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1848
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
petroleum products or byproducts, flammable explosives, radioactive materials,
or infectious substances) or any other substances or materials which are
included under or regulated by the Environmental Laws (collectively, "Hazardous
Substances") are located on, in or under or have been handled, generated,
stored, processed or disposed of on or released or discharged from the Security
Property (including underground contamination), except for those substances used
by Mortgagor or any tenant under a Lease in the ordinary course of businesses in
compliance with all Environmental Laws and under circumstances where no
liability under any Environmental Law could reasonably be anticipated; (iii) the
Security Property is presently free from contamination by Hazardous Substances
and that the Security Property and the activities conducted thereon do not pose
any significant hazard to human health or the environment, and (iv) the Security
Property complies in all respects with all laws applicable to access to
handicapped or disabled persons, including, without limitation, the "Americans
with Disabilities Act" and any current or future governmental law, regulation or
ruling applicable to or, if applicable, concerning lead-based paint
("Governmental Requirements"). Mortgagor shall not cause or permit the Security
Property to be used for the generation, handling, storage, transportation,
disposal or release of any Hazardous Substances except as exempted or permitted
under applicable Environmental Laws, and Mortgagor shall not cause or permit the
Security Property or any activities conducted thereon to be in violation of any
applicable Environmental Laws or Governmental Requirements. Mortgagor agrees to
indemnify Mortgagee and hold Mortgagee and its directors, officers, employees,
successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, losses,
damages (including all foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages),
liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, interest, administrative or judicial
proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial action requirements, enforcement
actions of any kind, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith
(including without limitation attorneys' fees and expenses), directly or
indirectly resulting in whole or in part from the violation of any Environmental
Laws or Governmental Requirements applicable to the Security Property or any
activity conducted thereon, or from any past, present or future use, generation,
handling, storage, transportation, disposal or release of Hazardous Substances
at or in connection with the Security Property, or any decontamination,
detoxification, closure, cleanup or other remedial measures required with
respect to the Security Property under any Environmental Laws. All sums paid and
costs incurred by Mortgagee with respect to the foregoing matters shall bear
interest, shall be paid and shall be secured as provided in paragraph 14. This
indemnity shall survive the full payment and performance of the Obligations and
the satisfaction of this Mortgage, and it shall inure to the benefit of any
transferee of title to the Security Property through foreclosure of this
Mortgage or through deed in lieu of foreclosure.
33. SUBROGATION. Mortgagee is hereby subrogated (a) to the lien(s) of each
and every mortgage, lien or other encumbrance on all or any part of the Security
Property which is fully or partially paid or satisfied out of the proceeds of
the Obligations, and (b) to the rights of the owner(s) and holder(s) of any
such mortgage, lien or other encumbrance. The respective rights under and
priorities of all such mortgages, liens or other encumbrances shall be preserved
and
Page 28 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1849
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
shall pass to and be held by Mortgagee as security for the Obligations, to the
same extent as if they had been duly assigned by separate instrument of
assignment and notwithstanding that the same may have been canceled and
satisfied of record.
34. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. In order to induce Mortgagee to extend
the credit secured hereby, Mortgagor represents and warrants that: (a) except as
previously or concurrently disclosed in writing to Mortgagee, there are no

Obligor or any portion of the Security Property or involving the validity or
enforceability of this Mortgage or the priority of its lien, before any court of

order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment or demand of any court or any
governmental authority; (b) the execution and delivery of this Mortgage and all
other Loan Documents do not and shall not (i) violate any provisions of any law,
rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or
award applicable to any Obligor, nor (ii) result in a breach of, or constitute a
default under, any indenture, bond, mortgage, Lease, instrument, credit
agreement, undertaking, contract or other agreement to which any Obligor is a
party or by which any of them or their respective properties may be bound or
affected; (c) this Mortgage and all other Loan Documents constitute valid and
binding obligations of the Obligor(s) executing the same, enforceable against

fact that the Obligors have not disclosed to Mortgagee in writing that could
materially adversely affect their respective properties, businesses or financial
conditions or the Security Property or any other collateral for the Obligations;
(f) the Obligors have duly obtained all permits, licenses, approvals and
consents from, and made all filings with, any governmental authority (and the
same have not lapsed nor been rescinded or revoked) which are necessary in

other Loan Document or the performance of any Obligor's obligations thereunder;
(g) the Land and Improvements fully comply with all applicable restrictive
covenants, zoning ordinances, subdivision and building codes, applicable health
and environmental laws and regulations and, to the best of Grantor's knowledge,
all other ordinances, orders and requirements issued by any state, federal or
municipal authorities having jurisdiction over the Security Property; (h) the
Land is served by electric, gas, sewer, water, telephone and other utilities
required for its intended use and final certificates of occupancy have been or
prior to occupancy will be issued by such governmental authorities as have

Book 9117 Pg 1850
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
Federal Consumers Credit Protection Act (Truth-in-Lending Act) and Regulation
"Z" of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, because Mortgagor
is a person fully excluded therefrom, and/or because said extension of credit is
only for business or commercial purposes of Mortgagor and is not being used for
personal, family, household or agricultural purposes; (k) except for the
security interest granted hereby, Mortgagor is, and as to portions of the
Collateral and Intangibles to be acquired after the date hereof will be, the
sole owner (or lessee in the case of Collateral leased by Mortgagor) of the
Collateral and Intangibles, free from any adverse lien, security interest,
encumbrance or adverse claim thereon of any kind whatsoever; (l) the Collateral

35. BUSINESS ENTITY. If Mortgagor is a corporation, partnership or other
business entity, or if Mortgagor consists of more than one person and any such
person is such a business entity, then each such business entity hereby
represents and warrants as to itself, in order to induce Mortgagee to extend the
credit secured hereby, that: (a) it is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its creation and the state
in which the Security Property is located; (b) it has all requisite power and

obtained; and (d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Mortgage and
all other Loan Documents do not and shall not conflict with any provision of its
by-laws or articles of incorporation (if a corporation), partnership agreement
(if a partnership) or trust agreement or other document pursuant to which it was
created and exists.
36. RIGHTS NOT IMPAIRED. The lien, security interest and other security
rights of the Mortgagee hereunder shall not be impaired by any indulgence,
moratorium or release granted by the Mortgagee, including, but not limited to:
(a) any renewal, extension or modification which the Mortgagee may grant with
respect to any of the Obligations; (b) any surrender, compromise, release,
renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which the Mortgagee may grant in
respect of the Security Property, or any part thereof or any interest therein;
or (c) any release or indulgence granted to any endorser, guarantor or surety of
any of the Obligations. In the event the ownership of the Security Property or
any part thereof becomes vested in a person or entity other than Mortgagor, the
Mortgagee may, without notice to Mortgagor, deal with such successor or
successors in interest with reference to this Mortgage and to the indebtedness
secured hereby in the same manner as with Mortgagor, without in any way
discharging Mortgagor's liability
Page 30 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1851
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
hereunder or for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby. No sale of the
Security Property, no forbearance on the part of the Mortgagee and no extension
of the time for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby given by the
Mortgagee shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect, in
whole or in part, the liability of Mortgagor hereunder or for the payment of the
indebtedness secured hereby or the liability of any other person hereunder or
for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, except as agreed to in
writing by the Mortgagee.
37. ERISA. Mortgagor covenants and agrees that:
(a) it shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any
obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise
by Mortgagee of any of its rights under the Note, this Mortgage and
the Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or
administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").
(b) Mortgagor further covenants and agrees to deliver to Mortgagee such
certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term
of this Mortgage, as requested by Mortgagor in its sole discretion,
that (i) Mortgagor is not an "employee benefit plan" as defined in
Section 3(32) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a
"governmental plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA; (ii)
Mortgagor is not subject to state statutes regulating investments and
fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (iii)

of 29 C.F.R. /Section/2510.3-101(f)(2); or
(iii) Mortgagor qualifies as an "operating company" or a "real estate
operating company" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. /Section/2510.3-101(c) or (e)
or an investment company registered under The Investment Company Act of 1940.
38. FUTURE ADVANCES. This Mortgage shall secure such future advances as may
be made by Mortgagee, at its option and for any purpose, within twenty (20)
years from the date of this Mortgage. All such future advances shall be included
within the term "Obligations", shall be secured to the same extent as if made on
the date of the execution of this Mortgage, and shall take priority as to third
persons without actual notice from the time this Mortgage is filed for
Page 31 of 36
Book 9117 Pg 1852
(Space reserved for Clerk of Court)
record as provided by law. The total amount of indebtedness secured by this
Mortgage may decrease or increase from time to time, but the total unpaid
balance so secured at any one time shall not exceed the maximum principal amount
of $10,000,000.00 plus interest and any disbursements made for the payment of
taxes, levies or insurance on the Security Property, with interest on those
disbursements, plus any increase in the principal balance as the result of
negative amortization or deferred interest. Without the prior written consent of
Mortgagee, which Mortgagee may grant or withhold in its sole discretion,
Mortgagor shall not file for record any notice limiting the maximum principal
amount that may by secured by this Mortgage to a sum less than the maximum
principal amount set forth in this paragraph.
39. OTHER INDEBTEDNESS SECURED. In addition to the specific indebtedness
identified herein above, the Obligations also include, and this Mortgage also
secures, all Other Indebtedness (as defined in the preliminary recitals of this
Mortgage), of Mortgagor to Mortgagee whether or not presently contemplated by
the parties, direct or indirect, otherwise secured or unsecured, joint or
several, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, whether for payment or
performance, now existing or hereafter arising, regardless of how the same arise
or by what instrument, agreement or book account they may be evidenced or
whether evidenced by any instrument, agreement or book account, including
without limitation all loans (including any loan by renewal), all indebtedness,
all undertakings to take or refrain from taking any action, all indebtedness,
liabilities or obligations owing from Mortgagor to others that Mortgagee may
have obtained by purchase, negotiation, discount, assignment or otherwise, and
all interest, taxes, fees charges, expenses, and attorney's fees chargeable to
Mortgagor or incurred by Mortgagee hereunder or under any other document or
instrument delivered in connection herewith.

shall so require, words in the singular shall include the plural, words in the
plural shall include the singular, and pronouns of any gender shall include the
other genders. Captions and headings in this Mortgage are for convenience only

41. MISCELLANEOUS. Time is of the essence of all provisions of this
Mortgage. Mortgagor hereby waives all right of homestead exemption (if any) in
the Security Property. If Mortgagor consists of more than one person, the
obligations and liabilities of each such person hereunder shall be joint and
several, and wherever the term "Mortgagor" is used it shall be deemed to refer
to such persons jointly and severally. If Mortgagor is a partnership, then all
general partners in Mortgagor shall be liable jointly and severally for the
covenants, agreements, undertakings and obligations of Mortgagor in connection
with the Obligations, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the partnership
laws of the state in which the Security Property is located. This Mortgage shall
be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns, and it shall inure to the benefit of
Mortgagee and its successors and assigns and to the benefit of Mortgagor and
Mortgagor's heirs, personal representatives and permitted successors and
assigns. This Mortgage cannot be changed except by an agreement in writing,
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change is sought.
42. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Mortgagor shall not be personally liable for
the payment or performance of the Obligations, and Mortgagee shall look solely
to the Security Property and other security given for the Obligations to satisfy
such Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor and Guarantor shall
be and remain fully and personally liable for the payment to Mortgagee for the
following, plus reasonable attorneys' fees and costs: (1) damages suffered by
Mortgagee as a result of (a) fraud or misrepresentation by Mortgagor or any
other person acting on behalf of or at the direction of Mortgagor in connection
herewith, (b) intentional waste of any of the Security Property, including the
removal of any property or fixtures from the Security Property which are not
replaced by similar property or fixtures of equal or greater value, (c) the
amendment, modification or termination of any lease (except as permitted by
subparagraph 7(a) above) of any of the Security Property in violation of any
provision of the Loan Documents, (d) failure to observe and comply with all
laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to any of the Security Property, (e)
failure to comply with any of the obligations of Mortgagor under any of the Loan
Documents or indemnity agreements pertaining to environmental or handicapped

Property in violation of any provision of the Loan Documents, (g) failure to
insure the Security Property in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents,
(h) failure to pay real estate taxes and assessments and ground lease payments
(if applicable) which accrue prior to Mortgagee taking possession of the
Security Property or failure to make sufficient funds available through escrow
payments to Mortgagee to pay such taxes, assessments and ground lease payments,
or (i) any of the Security Property is lost because of forfeiture to any
governmental agency or third party unrelated or not affiliated with Mortgagee
for any reason; (2) any rents, issues or profits of any of the Security Property
collected by or on behalf of Mortgagor which are not applied to payment of the
Obligations or paid to third parties not affiliated with Mortgagor for
reasonable operating costs related to the Security Property (including real
estate taxes and the establishment of a reasonable reserve for that purpose)
after an uncured default or an uncured Event of Default

or any event or circumstances that with the passage of time, the giving of
notice, or both, could constitute an Event of Default; (3) any security deposits
or other similar deposits received from tenants or occupants of the Security
Property, to the extent that funds for such security deposits are not obtained
by Mortgagee from Mortgagor; (4) any sums expended by Mortgagee in fulfilling
the obligations of Mortgagor, as lessor, under any lease of any of the Security
Property, excluding obligations relating to maintenance of the Security Property
and liabilities occurring after Mortgagor has given up possession of the
Security Property to Mortgagee; (5) any insurance proceeds, condemnation awards
or proceeds resulting from any sale of any of the Security Property which are
misapplied or misappropriated by or on behalf of Mortgagor or which, under the
terms of the Loan Documents, should have been paid to Mortgagee; or (6) the
amount of any valid unpaid mechanic's liens, materialmen's liens or other liens,
whether or not similar, arising due to work performed or materials furnished in
connection with any of the Security Property which could create liens on any
portion of the Security Property. None of the foregoing shall limit, impair or
affect (i) the obligations of Guarantor under its guaranties given in connection
herewith; or (ii) the right of Mortgagee to take any action as may be necessary
or desirable to realize upon any security given to secure the Obligations; or
(iii) the rights of Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage, obtain a judgment of
foreclosure against Mortgagor, and enforce Mortgagee's rights hereunder and
