The Mortgagor shall pay and promptly discharge at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, any such mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances upon the Mortgage Estate or any portion thereof or interest therein. Section 1.05. Insurance. The Mortgagor will maintain insurance, with respect to the Mortgage Estate, issued by financially sound and reputable insurers against loss or damage by reason of any Peril (as defined below) in such amounts (subject to such deductibles as shall be satisfactory to the Mortgagor) as shall be reasonable and customary and sufficient to avoid the insured named therein from becoming a co-insurer of any loss under such policy but in any event in an amount at least equal to 100% of the actual replacement cost of the Mortgage Estate Mortgage -7- (including, without limitation, foundation, footings and excavation costs), subject to deductibles as aforesaid. In addition, the Mortgagor will maintain insurance (i) against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the Mortgage Estate (and adjoining streets, sidewalks and waterways), in such amounts as are then customary for property similar in use in the jurisdictions where the Mortgage Estate is located and (ii) such other insurance, including, without limitation, War-Risk Insurance when and to the extent obtainable from the United States Government, in each case as generally carried by owners of properties similar to the Mortgage Estate in the jurisdictions where the Mortgage Estate is located, in such amounts and against such risks as are then customary for property similar in use. The Mortgagor expressly assumes all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment or value of the Mortgage Estate from any Peril, whether or not insurable or insured against. Such insurance shall be written by financially responsible companies selected by the Mortgagor and having an A.M. Best rating of "A+" or better and being in a financial size category of XIV or larger, or by other companies acceptable to the Mortgagee, and shall name the Mortgagee as loss payee (to the extent covering risk of loss or damage to tangible property) and as an additional named insured as its interests may appear (to the extent covering any other risk). Each policy referred to in this Section 1.05 shall provide that it will not be canceled or reduced, or allowed to lapse without renewal, except after not less than 30 days' notice to the Mortgagee and shall also provide that the interests of the Mortgagee and the Lenders shall not be invalidated by any act or negligence of the Mortgagor or any Person having an interest in the Mortgage Estate nor by occupancy or use of any of the Mortgage Estate for purposes more hazardous than permitted by such policy nor by any foreclosure or other proceedings relating to the Mortgage Estate. The Mortgagor will advise the Mortgagee promptly of any policy cancellation, reduction or amendment. On or before the date hereof, the Mortgagor will deliver to the Mortgagee certificates of insurance satisfactory to the Mortgagee evidencing the existence of all insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor hereunder setting forth the respective coverages, limits of liability, carrier, policy number and period of coverage and showing that such insurance will remain in effect through the December 31 falling at least six months after the date hereof, subject only to the payment of premiums as they become due (and attaching original copies of any policies with respect to casualty insurance). Thereafter, on each November 15 in each year (commencing with the first November 15 after the date hereof) the Mortgagor will deliver to the Mortgagee certificates of insurance evidencing that all insurance required to be maintained by the Mortgagor hereunder will be in effect through the December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year of the current November 15, subject only to the payment of premiums as they become due. In addition, the Mortgagor will not modify any of the provisions of any policy with respect to casualty insurance without delivering the original copy of the endorsement reflecting such modification to the Mortgagee accompanied by a written report of _______________, or any other firm of independent insurance brokers of nationally recognized standing, stating that, in their opinion, such policy (as so modified) adequately protects the interests of of the Lenders and the Mortgagee, is in compliance with the provisions of this Section 1.05, and is comparable in all respect with insurance carried by responsible owners and operators of properties similar to the Mortgage Estate. The Mortgagor will not obtain or carry separate insurance concurrent in Mortgage -8- form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Section 1.05 unless the Mortgagee is the named insured thereunder, with loss payable as provided herein. The Mortgagor will immediately notify the Mortgagee whenever any such separate insurance is obtained and shall deliver to the Mortgagee the certificates evidencing the same. Without limiting the obligations of the Mortgagor under the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.05, in the event the Mortgagor shall fail to maintain in full force and effect insurance as required by the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.05, then the Mortgagee may, but shall have no obligation so to do, procure insurance covering the interests of the Lenders and the Mortgagee in such amounts and against such risks as the Mortgagee shall deem appropriate and the Mortgagor shall reimburse the Mortgagee in respect of any premiums paid by the Mortgagee in respect thereof. For purposes hereof, the term "Peril" means, collectively, fire, lightning, flood, windstorm, hail, earthquake, explosion, riot and civil commotion, vandalism and malicious mischief, damage from aircraft, vehicles and smoke and all other perils covered by the "all-risk" endorsement then in use in the jurisdictions where the Mortgage Estate is located. Nothing in this Section 1.05 shall be deemed to limit in any respect the obligations of the Mortgagor under Section [6.05] of the Credit Agreement. Section 1.06. Casualty and Condemnation Events. (a) Casualty and Condemnation. Should the Mortgage Estate or any part thereof be taken or damaged by reason of any fire or other casualty (collectively, a "Casualty"), or by reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding (collectively, a "Condemnation") or should the Mortgagor receive any notice or other information regarding any such proceeding, the Mortgagor shall give prompt notice thereof to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee shall, subject to the rights of the lessor under the Lease, be entitled to receive all insurance or other amounts payable as a result of any such Casualty (collectively, the "Casualty Proceeds"), and all compensation, awards, damages and other payments or relief arising out of any such condemnation or any part thereof (collectively, "Condemnation Proceeds"), and all such insurance and other amounts, and compensation, awards, damages and other payments or relief, together with all rights and causes of action relating thereto or arising out of any such Casualty or Condemnation, are hereby assigned to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor shall execute such further assignments of the Casualty Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds as the Mortgagee may from time to time require. (b) Restoration Account. Following the occurrence of any Casualty or Condemnation involving the Mortgage Estate or any part thereof resulting in a loss in excess of $_________, the Mortgagor shall give prompt notice thereof to the Mortgagee and shall cause all Casualty or Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be, to be paid to the Mortgagee as additional collateral security hereunder subject to the lien of this Mortgage. Upon receipt by the Mortgagee of any such proceeds (including, without limitation, any Casualty Proceeds payable directly to the Mortgagee as loss payee under the respective policies maintained pursuant to Mortgage -9- Section 1.05), the Mortgagee shall deposit the same into a cash collateral account (the "Restoration Account") in the name and under the control of the Mortgagee. The balance from time to time in the Restoration Account shall constitute part of the Mortgage Estate hereunder and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided. (c) Application of Proceeds. Following the occurrence of any Casualty or Condemnation involving the Mortgage Estate or any part thereof resulting in a loss in excess of $__________, but without limiting its obligations under Section 1.08 to restore and repair any Improvements and Fixtures affected by such event, the Mortgagor may, at its option, to be exercised by delivery of notice to the Mortgagee within [30] days of such Casualty or Condemnation, elect to either apply any Casualty or Condemnation Proceeds received as a result of such event: (i) to the restoration and repair of that part of the Mortgage Estate affected by such Casualty or Condemnation (the "Affected Property"); or (ii) subject to the rights of the lessor under the Lease, to the prepayment of the loans or other indebtedness constituting the Obligations hereunder in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b) of the Credit Agreement. Failure of the Mortgagor to make such an election within three months from the date of the respective Casualty or Condemnation shall automatically constitute an election to so apply the respective Casualty or Condemnation Proceeds to the prepayment as aforesaid of the indebtedness secured hereby. If the Mortgagor elects to so restore and repair the Affected Property, any amounts (and any earnings thereon) held in the Restoration Account shall, subject to the rights of the lessor under the Lease, be applied by the Mortgagee to the restoration and repair of the Affected Property and advanced to the Mortgagor in periodic installments upon compliance by the Mortgagor with such reasonable conditions to disbursement as may be imposed by the Mortgagee, including, but not limited to, reasonable retention amounts and receipt of lien releases. Anything in this Section 1.06 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Mortgagee shall have no obligation to release any amounts held in the Restoration Account to the Mortgagor for restoration or repair of the Affected Property if an Event of Default (as defined in Section 4.01), or any event that with lapse of time or with notice and lapse of time would become an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing. If an Event of Default, or any event that with lapse of time or with notice and lapse of time would become an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing, the Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion, subject to the rights of the lessor under the Lease, apply any Casualty or Condemnation Proceeds either: (A) to the payment of the Obligations as provided in paragraph (a) of Section 4.03 or (B) to the restoration or repair of the Affected Property; provided, however, that if the Mortgagee requires such proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Affected Property, the Mortgagee will advance to the Mortgagor in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.06(c), the Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds, less such amounts that may have been expended by the Mortgagee to effectuate any cure of such Event of Default. All Casualty or Condemnation Proceeds remaining after the payment for restoration and repair of the Affected Property pursuant to this Section 1.06(c) may, at the option of the Mortgagee, subject to the rights of the lessor under the Lease, be applied to the prepayment of the loans or other indebtedness constituting the Mortgage -10- Obligations hereunder in the manner and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b) of the Credit Agreement. (d) Compromise, Adjustment or Settlement. The Mortgagee shall, subject to the rights of the lessor under the Lease, be entitled at its option to participate in any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with any claims for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance, in excess of $_________, and the Mortgagor shall within five Business Days after request therefor reimburse the Mortgagee for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with such participation. The Mortgagor shall not make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with any such claim without the approval of the Mortgagee. (e) Foreclosure, Etc. In the event of foreclosure of the lien of this Mortgage or other transfer of title or assignment of the Mortgage Estate in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of the Mortgagor in and to all policies of casualty insurance covering all or any part of the Mortgage Estate shall, subject to the rights of the lessor under the Lease, inure to the benefit of and pass to the successors in interest to the Mortgagor or the purchaser or grantee of the Mortgage Estate or any part thereof. Section 1.07. Impositions. (a) Payment of Impositions. Except to the extent otherwise permitted under Section 6.04 of the Credit Agreement, the Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid, before any fine, penalty, interest or cost attaches thereto, all taxes, assessments, water and sewer rates, utility charges and all other governmental or nongovernmental charges or levies now or hereafter assessed or levied against any part of the Mortgage Estate (including, without limitation, nongovernmental levies or assessments such as maintenance charges, owner association dues or charges or fees, levies or charges resulting from covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Mortgage Estate) or upon the lien or estate of the Mortgagee therein (collectively, "Impositions"), as well as all claims for labor, materials or supplies that, if unpaid, might by law become a prior lien thereon, and within 10 days after request by the Mortgagee will exhibit receipts showing payment of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that if by law any such Imposition may be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance thereof), the Mortgagor may pay the same in installments (together with accrued interest on the unpaid balance thereof) as the same respectively become due, before any fine, penalty or cost attaches thereto. (b) Right to Contest Impositions. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of Section 6.04 of the Credit Agreement, the Mortgagor at its expense may, after prior notice to the Mortgagee, contest by appropriate legal, administrative or other proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition or lien therefor or any claims of mechanics, materialmen, suppliers or vendors or lien thereof, and may withhold payment of the same pending such proceedings if permitted by law, so long as (i) in the case of any Impositions or lien therefor or any claims of mechanics, materialmen, suppliers or vendors or lien thereof, such proceedings shall suspend the Mortgage -11- collection thereof from the Mortgage Estate, (ii) neither the Mortgage Estate nor any part thereof or interest therein will be sold, forfeited or lost if the Mortgagor pays the amount or satisfies the condition being contested, and the Mortgagor would have the opportunity to do so, in the event of the Mortgagor's failure to prevail in the contest, (iii) neither the Mortgagee nor any of the Lenders would, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for which the Mortgagor has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (iv) below, or to any risk of criminal liability, and neither the Mortgage Estate nor any interest therein would be subject to the imposition of any lien for which the Mortgagor has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (iv) below, as a result of the failure to comply with such law or of such proceeding and (iv) the Mortgagor shall have furnished to the Mortgagee additional security in respect of the claim being contested or the loss or damage that may result from the Mortgagor's failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be reasonably requested by the Mortgagee[, but only to the extent that such claim or contest and all other then-current claims or contests involve an aggregate amount greater than $_______]. Section 1.08. Maintenance of the Improvements and Fixtures. The Mortgagor shall not permit the Improvements or Fixtures to be removed or demolished (provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 7.03(b)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, the Mortgagor may remove or alter such Improvements and Fixtures that become obsolete in the usual conduct of the Mortgagor's business and the removal or alteration of which do not materially detract from the operation of the Mortgagor's business); shall maintain the Mortgage Estate in good repair, working order and condition, except for reasonable wear and use; and shall restore and repair the Improvements and Fixtures or any part thereof now or hereafter affected by any Casualty or Condemnation.

Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Mortgage, to the extent not prohibited by law, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, property, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of the Mortgagor in, to and under the Mortgage Estate, or any portions thereof so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Mortgagor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, by, through or under the Mortgagor. The powers and agency herein granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. (e) Possession of Loan Instruments Not Necessary. All rights of action under the Loan Instruments and this Mortgage may be enforced by the Mortgagee without the possession of the Loan Instruments and without the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto. Section 4.03. Application of Proceeds. (a) Application of Proceeds Generally. The proceeds of any sale made either under the power of sale hereby given or under a judgment, order or decree made in any action to foreclose or to enforce this Mortgage, or of any monies held by the Mortgagee hereunder shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be applied: (i) first to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, including the Mortgagee's attorneys' fees and disbursements; (ii) then to the payment of all charges, expenses and advances incurred or made by the Mortgagee in order to protect the lien and estate of this Mortgage or the security afforded hereby; Mortgage -26- (iii) then to the payment in full of the Obligations, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts then due and owing or as the Lenders may otherwise agree; and after payment in full of all Obligations any surplus remaining shall be paid to the Mortgagor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. (b) Liability for Deficiencies. No sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Mortgage Estate pursuant to Section 4.02 shall be deemed to relieve the Mortgagor of its obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Instrument except to the extent the proceeds thereof are applied to the payment of such obligations. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Mortgage Estate are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Obligations, the Mortgagor shall remain liable for any deficiency. Section 4.04. Right to Sue. The Mortgagee shall have the right from time to time to sue for any sums required to be paid by the Mortgagor under the terms of this Mortgage as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the Obligations shall be, or have become, due and without prejudice to the right of the Mortgagee thereafter to bring any action or proceeding of foreclosure or any other action upon the occurrence of any Event of Default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced. Section 4.05. Powers of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee may at any time or from time to time renew or extend this Mortgage or (with the agreement of the Mortgagor) alter or modify the same in any way, or waive any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or thereof, in whole or in part, and may release any portion of the Mortgage Estate or any other security, and grant such extensions and indulgences in relation to the Obligations, or release any person liable therefor as the Mortgagee may determine without the consent of any junior lienor or encumbrancer, without any obligation to give notice of any kind thereto, without in any manner affecting the priority of the lien and estate of this Mortgage on or in any part of the Mortgage Estate, and without affecting the liability of any other person liable for any of the Obligations. Section 4.06. Remedies Cumulative. (a) Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy under this Mortgage, or under applicable law, whether now or hereafter existing; the failure of the Mortgagee to insist at any time upon the strict observance or performance of any of the provisions of this Mortgage or to exercise any right or remedy provided for herein or under applicable law, shall not impair any such right or remedy nor be construed as a waiver or relinquishment thereof. Mortgage -27- (b) Other Security. The Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any of the obligations of the Mortgagor and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any Loan Instrument or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding that some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise; neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect the Mortgagee's right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by the Mortgagee, it being stipulated that the Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by the Mortgagee in such order and manner as the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may determine; every power or remedy given by the Credit Agreement, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Instruments to the Mortgagee, or to which the Mortgagee is otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, and the Mortgagee may pursue inconsistent remedies. Section 4.07. Waiver of Stay, Extension, Moratorium Laws; Equity of Redemption. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Mortgagor shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any benefit or advantage of any applicable present or future stay, extension or moratorium law, that may affect observance or performance of the provisions of this Mortgage; nor claim, take or insist upon any benefit or advantage of any present or future law providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Mortgage Estate or any portion thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof that may be made under or by virtue of Section 4.02; and the Mortgagor, to the extent that it lawfully may, hereby waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws. The Mortgagor for itself and all who may claim under it, hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights and equities of redemption from sale under the power of sale created hereunder or from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage and (if an Event of Default shall have occurred) all notice or notices of seizure, and all right to have the Mortgage Estate marshalled upon any foreclosure hereof. The Mortgagee shall not be obligated to pursue or exhaust its rights or remedies as against any other part of the Mortgage Estate and the Mortgagor hereby waives any right or claim of right to have the Mortgagee proceed in any particular order.

For purposes hereof, a statement by the Mortgagee in any modification or supplement to this Mortgage to the effect that such modification or supplement has been consented to by the Lenders as provided in the Credit Agreement shall be conclusive evidence of such consent and it shall not be necessary for a copy of such consent to be recorded with such modification or supplement as a condition to such modification or supplement being recorded in the appropriate real estate records.

If any portion of the Obligations shall for any reason not be secured by a valid and enforceable lien upon any part of the Mortgage Estate, then any payments made in respect of the Obligations (whether voluntary or under foreclosure or other enforcement action or procedure or otherwise) shall, for purposes of this Mortgage (except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law) be deemed to be made (i) first, in respect of the portion of the Obligations not secured by the lien of this Mortgage, (ii) second, in respect of the portion of the Obligations secured by the lien of this Mortgage, but which lien is on less than all of the Mortgage Estate, and (iii) last, to the portion of the Obligations secured by the lien of this Mortgage, and which lien is on all of the Mortgage Estate.
