Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this Section 1.2 and Section 3.7, Lender grants to Borrower a revocable license to collect and receive the Rents. Borrower shall hold a portion of the Rents sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt for use in the payment of such sums. SECTION 1.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Security Instrument is both a real property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property. By executing and delivering this Security Instrument, Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as security for the Debt, a security interest in any of the Property that is deemed to be personal property to the full extent that such property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code. This Security Instrument shall be and is intended to serve as a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Personal Property, and when filed shall serve as a financing statement for all intents and purposes thereunder. Borrower authorizes Lender to file financing statements describing the Personal Property. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, Lender shall be entitled to all rights and remedies of a "secured party" under the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon its recording in the real property records, this Security Instrument shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing and when filed shall serve as a financing statement for all intents and purposes thereunder. For purposes of this filing, Borrower is the record owner of the Property. The name and mailing address of Borrower, as debtor, and the name and mailing address of Lender, as secured party, from which information concerning this Financing Statement may be obtained, are set forth in the Preamble of this Security Instrument. The Borrower shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such event) advise the Lender in writing of any change in the state of Borrower's organization, or Borrower's exact legal name. If any of the Property is deemed to be personal property, this Security Instrument shall also constitute a security agreement with respect to such personal property executed by Borrower as debtor in favor of Lender as secured party. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to and not in derogation of any other rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents or applicable law, in accordance with Section 9-604 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as applicable, or other such provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, elect (i) to proceed under and have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable law, or (ii) to proceed as to both the real property and the personal property in accordance with Lender's rights and remedies in respect of the real property encumbered by this Security Instrument, whereupon at any foreclosure sale conducted pursuant to this Security Instrument the Sale Officer acting hereunder may offer the real and personal property together as part of the same sale, with bids to be taken on the whole of the real and personal property rather than separately. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of the existence of any commercial tort claim (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) now or hereafter existing for the benefit of Borrower or the Property, and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver a security agreement or other documentation, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, as Lender shall from time to time require to acquire and perfect a valid and binding security interest in such commercial tort claim. 7 SECTION 1.4 PLEDGE OF MONIES HELD. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender any and all items and monies now or hereafter held by Lender, including any sums deposited in the Impound Account or any escrow, as additional security for the Debt until expended or applied as provided in this Security Instrument. SECTION 1.5 COMMON LAW PLEDGE/ASSIGNMENT. To the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code does not apply to any item of the Personal Property, it is the intention of this Security Instrument that Lender have a common law pledge and/or collateral assignment of such item of Personal Property. CONDITIONS TO GRANT TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property unto and to the use and benefit of Lender, and the successors and assigns of Lender, forever; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if Borrower shall pay to Lender the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Loan Documents, and shall abide by and comply, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, with each and every covenant and condition set forth in the Loan Documents, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall terminate and Lender will promptly execute documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender evidencing the release or assignment of this Security Instrument.

SECTION 3.3 INSURANCE. (a) Insurance. Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages: 9 (i) Property Insurance. Insurance ("COMMERCIAL PROPERTY INSURANCE") with respect to the Improvements, including fixtures, machinery, equipment and any other items of Property (collectively "INSURED PROPERTY") owned by Borrower and typically insured by a commercial property insurance policy, insuring against any peril now or hereafter included within the classification "Special Cause of Loss" insuring against risks of direct physical loss, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the "Full Insurable Value" (as hereinafter defined) of the Improvements and other Insured Property, with an "agreed amount" endorsement waiving all co-insurance provisions. The term "Full Insurable Value" shall mean the full replacement cost value of the Improvements and Insured Property (without taking into account any depreciation, and exclusive of excavations, footings and foundations, landscaping and paving) determined no less frequently than required by Borrower's Commercial Property Insurance policy at Borrower's sole cost and expense by an insurer, a recognized independent insurance broker or an independent appraiser selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender, but in no event less than the coverage required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to the terms of any Lease. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (x) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated "special flood hazard area," flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Note or (2) the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; (y) earthquake or earth movement insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event that Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity (provided that in no event shall such insurance be required if the Property is located in seismic zones 0, 1 or 2); and (z) coastal windstorm insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in any coastal region, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (x), (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the "SPECIAL CAUSE OF LOSS" insurance policy required under this subsection (i). (ii) Business Interruption. Business interruption and/or loss of "rental income" insurance ("BUSINESS INCOME INSURANCE") in an amount sufficient to avoid any co-insurance penalty and to provide proceeds that will cover the estimated annual gross income as determined by Lender (the "ESTIMATED RENTAL INCOME") for a period (the "BUSINESS INTERRUPTION PERIOD") of not less than twelve (12) months from the date of casualty or loss. In each such case, such Business Income Insurance policy shall provide that, after the physical loss to the Improvements and the other Insurable Property has been repaired, the continued loss of Estimated Rental Income will be insured during the applicable Business Interruption Period, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The term "rental income" to mean the sum of (A) the total then ascertainable Rents payable under the Leases and (B) the total ascertainable amount of all other amounts to be received by Borrower from third parties which 10 are the legal obligation of the tenants. The amount of Business Income Insurance coverage shall be adjusted annually by Lender (based on the rent rolls and other financial reports delivered by Borrower to Lender) to reflect the projected rents payable during the next succeeding Business Interruption Period; (iii) Boiler and Machinery. If applicable, comprehensive form boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for explosion), on terms consistent with those set forth for Commercial Property Insurance in Section 3.3(a)(i) above; (iv) Builder's Risk.

Ordinance or law coverage and insurance coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition or rebuilding of the undamaged portion of the Property along with any reduced value and the increased cost of construction in amounts as requested by Lender if the Property is or becomes a legally non-conforming use; (vi) Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability insurance ("LIABILITY INSURANCE") on an "occurrence" form, including bodily injury and property damage liability, and insurance against any and all claims, including all legal liability imposed upon Lender and all court costs and legal fees and expenses, arising out of or connected with the possession, use, leasing, operation, maintenance or condition of the Property. Such insurance shall provide commercial general liability protection in an amount not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) each occurrence and annual aggregate, combined single limit, bodily injury and property damage; (vii) Workers Compensation Insurance. If the Property includes commercial property, worker's compensation insurance with respect to any employees of Borrower, as required by any Governmental Authority or any Applicable Law; and (viii) Other Insurance. Such other insurance with respect to the Property against loss or damage of the kinds from time to time customarily insured against and generally required by institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Property. 11 (b) Insurance Policies. All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.3(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the "POLICIES" or in the singular, the "POLICY") issued by one or more insurers satisfactory to Lender and having a rating of A:V or better by Best's Key Rating Guide. All insurers providing the insurance required under this Security Instrument shall be authorized to issue insurance in the state in which the Property is located. The Policy referred to in Subsection 3.3(a)(vi) above shall name Lender as an additional insured and the Policies referred to in Subsection 3.3(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), and as applicable (viii), above shall provide that all proceeds be payable to Lender as set forth in Section 4.4 hereof. The Policies referred to in Subsections 3.3(a)(i), (iii), and (iv) shall also: (1) contain a standard "non-contributory mortgagee" endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omission of Lender; (2) contain a waiver of subrogation endorsement as to Lender; and (3) be approved by Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. All Policies shall contain (i) a provision that such Policies shall not be cancelled or terminated, nor shall they expire, without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender in each instance; and (ii) effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for Insurance Premiums against any loss payees, additional insureds and named insureds (other than Borrower). Copies of certificates of insurance with respect to all renewal and replacement Policies shall be delivered to Lender not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of any of the Policies required to be maintained hereunder together with evidence of payment of applicable premiums (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS"). Copies of such replacement Policies shall be delivered to Lender promptly after Borrower's receipt thereof. If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the copies of certificates of insurance required by this Security Instrument, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower, Lender may procure such insurance at Borrower's sole cost and expense. (c) Terrorism Coverage. The commercial property and business income insurance required pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof shall be required to cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism (other than biological, nuclear, and chemical acts of terrorism) ("TERRORISM COVERAGE") and Borrower shall maintain Commercial Property Insurance and Business Income Insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Sections 3.3(a)(i) and (iii) above at all times during the term of the Loan so long as (A) Lender determines in good faith that either (I) prudent owners of real estate comparable to the Property are maintaining same, or (II) prudent institutional lenders are requiring that such owners of real estate comparable to the Property maintain such insurance; and (B) if such insurance is obtainable from any insurer or the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and the lack of such insurance in and of itself will result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the then current rating assigned, or to be assigned, or prevent ratings from being assigned, to the Securities or any class thereof in any applicable Securitization. If Lender has waived the requirement that Borrower obtain Terrorism Coverage, Lender may at any time require that Borrower obtain such Terrorism Coverage upon thirty (30) days written notice provided that the condition set forth in subsections (A) and (B) of the foregoing sentence have been satisfied. 12 (d) Compliance With Insurance Requirements. Borrower shall comply in all material respects with all insurance requirements and shall not bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept any article upon any of the Property or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon which would be prohibited by an insurance requirement, or would invalidate the insurance coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Borrower on or with respect to any part of the Property pursuant to this Section 3.3. (e) Restoration. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and provided that Borrower shall have received the Net Proceeds, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (the "INSURANCE RESTORATION") and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.4 of this Security Instrument. (f) Blanket Insurance Policies. The insurance coverage required under Section 3.3(a) may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Property and other properties and assets not constituting a part of the security hereunder; provided that any such blanket policy shall specify the portion of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Property, and any sub-limit in such blanket policy applicable to the Property, and shall in any case comply in all other material respects with the requirements of this Section 3.3. Lender may make such other requirements with respect to blanket insurance as Lender may deem appropriate or desirable from time to time; provided that such requirements are generally required by institutional lenders for insurance on properties comparable to the Property. SECTION 3.4 PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC. (a) Subject to Section 3.4(b), Borrower shall pay by their due date all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges, including vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the "TAXES"), all ground rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the "OTHER CHARGES"), and all charges for utility services provided to the Property as same become due and payable. Borrower shall deliver to Lender, promptly following Lender's written request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes, Other Charges, and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Subject to Section 3.4(b), Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be discharged (by bonding, payment or otherwise) any lien or charge whatsoever that may be a lien or charge against the Property. (b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any of the Taxes, provided that (i) no Event of Default exists under the Note, 13 this Security Instrument or any of the Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any other mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt affecting the Property (it not being implied by this clause that any such encumbrance will be permitted), (iii) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Taxes from Borrower and from the Property or Borrower shall have paid all of the Taxes under protest, (iv) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (v) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in reasonably foreseeable danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost, (vi) Borrower shall have set aside adequate reserves for the payment of the Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless Borrower has paid all of the Taxes under protest, and (vii) Borrower shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding, together with all interest and penalties thereon, taking into consideration the amount in the Impound Account available for payment of Taxes. SECTION 3.5 TAX AND INSURANCE IMPOUND ACCOUNT. Borrower shall establish and maintain at all times while this Security Instrument continues in effect an impound account (the "IMPOUND ACCOUNT") with Lender for payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums on the Property and as additional security for the indebtedness secured hereby. Commencing on the first Monthly Payment Date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each Monthly Payment Date under the Note, Borrower shall pay to Lender, concurrently with the Monthly Payment due under the Note, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual Taxes that will next become due and payable on the Property (the "MONTHLY TAX IMPOUND"), plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual Insurance Premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies which Borrower is required to maintain hereunder (the "MONTHLY INSURANCE IMPOUND"), each as reasonably estimated and determined by Lender. The Monthly Tax Impound or Monthly Insurance Impound, and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. If Lender at any time reasonably determines that the Monthly Tax Impound or Monthly Insurance Impound is insufficient, Lender may in its reasonable discretion adjust the required monthly payments of such amounts, and Borrower shall be obligated to pay the increased amounts for the Monthly Tax Impound or Monthly Insurance Impound commencing with the next monthly payment date under the Note. So long as no Event of Default, and no event that, with notice or the passage of time or the modification or termination of the automatic stay of Section 362 of the United States Bankruptcy Code may become an Event of Default ("DEFAULT"), has occurred and is continuing, all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Lender in the Impound Account and used to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums on or before the applicable due date. Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Lender, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all Taxes and Insurance Premiums to be paid from the Impound Account, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall pay the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Lender shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. Lender shall 14 pay no interest on funds contained in the Impound Account to Borrower and any interest or other earnings on funds deposited in the Impound Account shall be solely for the account of Lender. If the total funds in the Impound Account shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes of the Impound Account, such excess may be credited by Lender on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Lender, refunded to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If, however, the Impound Account shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required when the same shall become due and payable, Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Lender the full amount of any such deficiency. The Impound Account shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. SECTION 3.6 CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers received by Borrower in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings to the extent permitted by law. Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and to the extent reasonably requested cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Borrower shall not make any agreement in lieu of condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of Lender in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking) and whether or not any Condemnation Awards are made available to Borrower for the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to the condemnation or transfer in lieu of condemnation, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender in accordance with Section 4.4 (a "CONDEMNATION RESTORATION"), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Security Instrument and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Condemnation Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of actual out of pocket expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Condemnation Awards by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Condemnation Awards interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. Subject to the terms of Article 4, Borrower shall cause Condemnation Awards payable to Borrower in any condemnation or transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking to be paid directly to Lender. Subject to the terms of Article 4, Lender shall apply any such Condemnation Awards (after deducting any reasonable expenses of collection) to the reduction or discharge of the Debt (whether or not then due and payable). No Prepayment Consideration shall be payable solely in connection with the application of such Condemnation Awards to the Debt; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default is existing as of the date of the condemnation, then any Condemnation Awards or proceeds applied to the Debt pursuant to this Section shall be subject to the Prepayment Consideration computed in accordance with the terms of the Note. For the purposes of determining whether Prepayment Consideration shall be payable under this Section 15 3.6, a civil or criminal action seeking or resulting in a forfeiture of the Property shall not be deemed a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and any payment made pursuant to or in connection with such forfeiture action is subject to the payment of Prepayment Consideration. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by the power of eminent domain, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Condemnation Restoration in accordance with Section 4.4 of this Security Instrument. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award or payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Condemnation Awards or a portion thereof sufficient to fully satisfy the Debt. SECTION 3.7 LEASES AND RENTS. Borrower shall comply at all times with that certain Assignment of Leases and Rents of even date herewith executed by Borrower in favor of Lender, which is incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein. All Rents generated by or derived from the Property shall first be utilized solely for current expenses directly attributable to the ownership and operation of the Property, including current expenses relating to Borrower's liabilities and obligations with respect to the Loan Documents, and none of the Rents generated by or derived from the Property shall be diverted by Borrower and utilized for any other purpose unless all such current expenses attributable to the ownership and operation of the Property have been fully paid and satisfied; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no event limit distributions to the members of Borrower in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms of Borrower's operating agreement. SECTION 3.8 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause the Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. The Improvements and the Personal Property shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (unless such Personal Property is replaced with personal property of equal or better quality) without the consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, or which may be affected by any proceeding of the character referred to in Section 3.6 hereof and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land. Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses that may be made of the Property or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use or Improvement to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. SECTION 3.9 WASTE. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any intentional physical waste of the Property ("waste" meaning the diminution in the Property's value resulting from Borrower's willful failure to manage, maintain, repair and otherwise operate the Property in a commercially reasonable manner) or make any change in the use of the Property which will materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that is likely to invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that is likely to materially impair the value of the Property or the security of this Security Instrument. 16 Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Land, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof. SECTION 3.10 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. (a) Borrower shall promptly comply with all existing and future federal, state and local laws, orders, ordinances, governmental rules and regulations or court orders affecting the Property and the use thereof ("APPLICABLE LAW"), except to the extent that any non-compliance would not have a material adverse effect on Borrower, the Property or Borrower's ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. (b) Borrower shall maintain all necessary certificates, licenses and other approvals, governmental and otherwise, necessary for the operation of the Property and the conduct of its business and all required zoning, building code, land use, environmental and other similar permits or approvals, in full force and effect and shall not intentionally take or omit to take any action that would subject any of the foregoing to revocation, suspension, forfeiture or modification. (c) Borrower shall from time to time, upon Lender's reasonable request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Property complies with all Applicable Laws or is exempt from compliance with Applicable Laws. (d) Lender's approval, if required, of the plans, specifications, or working drawings for alterations of the Property shall create no responsibility or liability on behalf of Lender for their completeness, design, sufficiency or their compliance with Applicable Laws. The foregoing shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Borrower or by any of its tenants. Lender may condition any such approval, if required, of all alterations the cost of which will exceed 5% of this Loan upon receipt of a certificate of compliance with Applicable Laws from an independent architect, engineer, or other person reasonably acceptable to Lender. (e) Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any notice of the Property's violation of any Applicable Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to the Property's compliance with Applicable Laws; in each case if such violation, proceeding or investigation is reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect on Borrower, the Property or Borrower's ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. (f) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the Applicable Laws affecting the Property, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any other mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt affecting the Property; (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of 17 any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder; (iv) neither the Property nor any material part thereof or material interest therein nor any of the tenants or occupants thereof shall be affected in any material adverse way as a result of such proceeding; and (v) Borrower shall have furnished to Lender all other items reasonably requested by Lender. SECTION 3.11 BOOKS AND RECORDS. (a) Borrower shall keep adequate books and records of account in accordance with methods reasonably acceptable to Lender and consistently applied, and shall furnish to Lender: (i) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each fiscal year of Borrower, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender the following financial reports, each of which shall be certified by the Borrower's chief financial officer or another person reasonably acceptable to Lender: (A) an annual rent roll; (B) an annual operating statement of the Property; and (C) an annual balance sheet and profit-and-loss statement of Borrower.

The terms set forth in the Leasing Report shall reflect the prevailing market conditions for like properties in the locality of the Property. (c) Borrower shall deliver to Lender annually upon request, in form satisfactory to Lender, information regarding the sales and/or receipts of each tenant of the Property who reports such information to Borrower pursuant to such tenant's Lease. (d) Borrower and its affiliates shall furnish Lender with such other additional financial or management information as may, from time to time, be reasonably required by, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, Lender, provided that such other additional financial or management information is (i) generally required by institutional Lenders with respect to loans comparable to the Loan, or (ii) required by any Rating Agency rating any securities issued by the holder of the Loan or any other Interested Party.

Accordingly, it is agreed that, in addition to any other remedy to which Lender may be entitled, at law or in equity, Lender shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent or remedy breaches of the provisions of this Section 4.3 and specifically to enforce the terms and provisions of this Section 4.3. SECTION 4.4 RESTORATION AFTER CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION. For the purposes of this Section 4.4, the term "NET PROCEEDS" shall mean, as applicable, (1) the net amount of all insurance proceeds under the Policies carried pursuant to Subsections 3.3(a)(i) (Property Insurance), (iii) (Boiler and Machinery), (iv) (Builder's Risk), (v) (Ordinance/Law Coverage), and (vi) (Personal Property) of this Security Instrument as a result of such damage or destruction, or (2) the net amount of all proceeds from insurance or Condemnation Awards relating to the Condemnation Action, in each case after deduction of Borrower's and Lender's reasonable actual out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same. If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "CASUALTY LOSS") or if the Property or any portion thereof is taken, or threatened to be taken, in any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding (whether instituted or threatened, a "CONDEMNATION ACTION"), the following provisions shall apply in connection with any Insurance Restoration or Condemnation Restoration (collectively the "RESTORATION"): (a) The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed directly to Borrower if each of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Net Proceeds do not exceed $50,000.00 ("AVAILABILITY THRESHOLD"), (ii) the cost of completing the Restoration as reasonably estimated by Borrower is less than or equal to the Availability Threshold, (iii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with, and permitted under, all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations (including all applicable Environmental Laws), and (v) such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action does not materially impair access to the Property or the Improvements. Borrower shall be permitted and is obligated to settle any insurance claims with respect to the Net Proceeds that are, in the aggregate, less than or equal to the Availability Threshold unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Lender shall have the right to participate in and reasonably approve any settlement for insurance claims with respect to the Net Proceeds that in the aggregate are equal to or greater than the Availability Threshold. Borrower hereby grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of filing and prosecuting such claim and collecting and making receipt for any such payment, which such power may be exercised by Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default. If the Net Proceeds are received by 24 Borrower, such Net Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related work, be held in trust for Lender. Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Restoration of the Property to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action (b) If the Net Proceeds are greater than the Availability Threshold, such Net Proceeds shall, subject to the provisions of the Leases that are superior to the lien of this Security Instrument or with respect to which subordination and non-disturbance agreements binding upon Lender have been entered into which provide for the use and/or disposition of Net Proceeds, be forthwith paid to Lender to be held by Lender in a segregated account to be made available to Borrower for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b). (i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for payment of, or reimbursement of Borrower's actual out of pocket expenses in connection with, the Restoration, subject to the following conditions: (A) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B) Lender is furnished, within a reasonable period of time prior to request for initial disbursement, with (i) an estimate of the costs of the Restoration, which upon Lender's request, shall be accompanied by an independent architect's certification as to such costs, and (ii) appropriate plans and specifications for the Restoration, which plans and specifications shall be subject to Lender's approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (C) Lender determines that the Net Proceeds, together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender, are sufficient to cover the costs of the Restoration as certified by the independent architect; (D) if the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than fifty percent (50%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged or destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty Loss, or, if the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Awards, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Land constituting the Property is taken and such Land that is taken is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property and no portion of the Improvements is located on such Land; (E) the fair market value of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable is less than (1) thirty percent (30%) in the event of a Casualty Loss or (2) fifteen percent (15%) in the event of a Condemnation Action; 25 (F) Lender reasonably determines that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note that will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the proceeds of business interruption and/or loss of "rental income" insurance, or (3) other funds of Borrower; (G) Lender determines that, upon the completion of the Restoration and related lease-up, if applicable, the net cash flow of the Property will be restored to a level sufficient to cover all carrying costs and operating expenses of the Property, including debt service on the Note at a coverage ratio (after deducting replacement reserve requirements and reserves for tenant improvements and leasing commissions from net operating income) equal to or greater than the coverage ratio calculated and assumed by Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan or, if lower, the coverage ratio that existed as of the date immediately preceding such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action; (H) the Restoration can reasonably be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) twelve (12) months from the date of the Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action, (2) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), (3) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, or (4) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Property to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action; (I) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with, and permitted under, all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations (including all applicable Environmental Laws), except to the extent that non-compliance would not have a material adverse effect on the Borrower, Property or Borrower's ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents; and (J) such Casualty Loss or Condemnation Action does not materially impair post-Restoration access to the Land or the Improvements. (ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and constitute additional security for the obligations until disbursed pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(b). The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed to the date of such disbursement request (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic's or materialman's liens or notices of intention to 26 file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration that have not either been fully bonded and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. (iii) Upon Lender's request, Borrower shall send Lender copies of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. With respect to contracts exceeding 50,000, the identity of the contractors engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and an independent consulting engineer, architect, or other expert selected by Lender (the "RESTORATION CONSULTANT"), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower shall pay all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including the reasonable fees and expenses of Lender's attorneys and the Restoration Consultant. (iv) Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4.4, in no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term "RESTORATION RETAINAGE" as used in this Subsection 4.4(b) shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 4.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b) and that all approvals reasonably necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's contract in all material respects, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman (other than Retainage) as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the surety company, if any, that issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman shall approve the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage. 27 (v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. (vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in Lender's determination, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs that are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the "NET PROCEEDS DEFICIENCY") with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the obligations. (vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing. (c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration pursuant to this Section 4.4 or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 4.4(b)(vii) shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem proper or, at the discretion of Lender, the same shall be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt, and no Prepayment Consideration shall be payable solely in connection with such application; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default exists as of the date of such application, then any Net Proceeds applied to the Debt pursuant to this Section shall be subject to the Prepayment Consideration computed in accordance with the terms of the Note.

SECTION 7.3 CHANGES IN TAX, DEBT CREDIT AND DOCUMENTARY STAMP LAWS. (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security Instrument that deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender's interest in the Property, Borrower shall pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by its counsel that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then Lender shall have the option to declare the Debt immediately due and payable (a "TAX CHANGE ACCELERATION") by giving Borrower not less than one hundred twenty (120) days' written notice of such Tax Change Acceleration. No Prepayment Consideration shall be payable solely in connection with a Tax Change Acceleration; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default exists as of the date of such Tax Change Acceleration, then the Borrower's payment of the Loan shall be subject to Prepayment Consideration computed in accordance with the terms of the Note. 35 (b) Borrower shall not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security Instrument or the Debt.

Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Personal Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute reasonable notice to Borrower; (j) apply any sums then deposited in the Impound Account and any other sums held in escrow or otherwise by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument or any Loan Document to the payment of the following items in any order that Lender may determine: (i) Taxes and Other Charges; (ii) Insurance Premiums; (iii) Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note; (iv) amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Note; and all other sums payable pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument and the Loan Documents, including advances made by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument; 45 (k) surrender the Policies maintained pursuant to Article 3 hereof, collect the unearned Insurance Premiums and apply such sums as a credit on the Debt in such priority and proportion as Lender shall deem proper, and in connection therewith, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact (which is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) for Borrower to collect such Insurance Premiums; (l) apply the undisbursed balance of any Net Proceeds or any Net Proceeds Deficiency deposit, together with interest thereon, to the payment of the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender shall deem to be appropriate in its discretion; (m) prohibit Borrower and anyone claiming for or through Borrower from making use of or withdrawing any sums from any lockbox, escrow or similar account; or (n) pursue such other remedies as Lender may have under any of the Loan Documents or applicable law.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.1 to the contrary, if any Event of Default as described in Subsection 10.1(i)(i) or (ii) shall occur, the entire unpaid Debt shall be automatically due and payable, without any further notice, demand or other action by Lender. SECTION 11.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The purchase money proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Property, or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument or the Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. SECTION 11.3 LENDER RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS.

Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the reasonable cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 11.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor. SECTION 11.4 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, that Lender, in its reasonable discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property. 46 SECTION 11.5 RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums that constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for Events of Default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced. SECTION 11.6 EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. Lender, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right during reasonable business hours and upon prior written notice to examine the records, books, management and other papers of Borrower or of any Guarantor or Indemnitor which reflect upon their financial condition, at the Property or at any office regularly maintained by Borrower, its affiliates or any Guarantor or Indemnitor where the books and records are located. Lender and its agents shall have the right during reasonable business hours and upon prior written notice to make copies and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers.

SECTION 11.7 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower's obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower, any Guarantor or any Indemnitor to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or the Loan Documents. (b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured unless and until Lender, its nominee, designee or affiliate acquires title to the Property through a foreclosure, trustee's sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in Lender's possession. 47 (c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Lender under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity. SECTION 11.8 LENDER RIGHT TO RELEASE. Lender may release any portion of the Property or any portion of the Debt for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Property or the Debt, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Property. SECTION 11.9 VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Property is not in compliance with Applicable Laws and such non-compliance is reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect on Borrower or the Property, or Borrower's ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, Lender may impose additional requirements upon Borrower in connection herewith including monetary reserves or financial equivalents. SECTION 11.10 RIGHT OF ENTRY. Lender and its agents shall have the right upon prior written notice to Borrower to enter and inspect the Property at all reasonable times upon notice to Borrower. SECTION 11.11 RIGHTS PERTAINING TO SALES.

The power of sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more of such sales as to any part of the Property that has not been sold or by any sale that is not completed or is defective until the Debt has been paid in full. (b) Any sale may be postponed or adjourned by public announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such postponed or adjourned sale, and such sale may be completed at the time and place so announced without further notice. (c) Lender is hereby appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower, which appointment is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, in Borrower's name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and 48 deliveries of the Property and rights so sold, and for that purpose Lender may execute all necessary instruments to accomplish the same, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, and Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all that said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue thereof. Nevertheless, Borrower, if requested by Lender, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Lender or such purchaser or purchasers, as applicable, all such instruments as may be advisable, in Lender's judgment, for the purposes designated in such request. (d) Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any of the instruments referred to in Subsection 11.11(c) given by Lender concerning nonpayment of the Debt, occurrence of any Event of Default, any declaration by Lender that all or any of the Debt is due and payable, any request to sell, any representation that notice of time, place and terms of sale and property or rights to be sold was duly given, or that any other act or thing was duly done by Lender, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited. (e) The receipt by Sale Officer of the purchase money paid at any such sale, or the receipt of any other person authorized to give the same, shall be sufficient discharge therefor to any purchaser of any property or rights sold as aforesaid, and no purchaser, or its representatives, grantees or assigns, after paying such purchase price and receiving such receipt, shall be bound to see to the application of such purchase price or any part thereof upon or for any trust or purpose of this Security Instrument or, in any manner whatsoever, be answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application of any such purchase money, or part thereof, or be bound to inquire as to the authorization, necessity, expediency or regularity of any such sale. (f) Any such sale or sales shall operate to divest all of the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Borrower and any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, by, through or under Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. (g) Upon any such sale or sales, Lender may bid for and acquire the Property and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the Debt the amount of the bid made therefor, after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale, the cost of any enforcement proceeding hereunder and any other sums that Lender is authorized to charge to Borrower under the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid. (h) If Borrower, or any person claiming by, through or under Borrower, shall transfer or refuse or fail to surrender possession of the Property after any sale thereof, then Borrower or such person shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser at such sale, subject to eviction by means of unlawful detainer proceedings or other appropriate proceedings, and to any other right or remedy available hereunder or under applicable law. 49 (i) Upon any such sale, it shall not be necessary for Sale Officer, Lender or any public officer acting under execution or order of court to have present or constructively in its possession any or all of the Property. (j) In the event of any sale referred to in this Subsection 11.11, the entire Debt, if not previously due and payable, immediately thereupon shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Note, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, become due and payable. (k) This instrument shall be effective as a mortgage. If a sale hereunder shall be commenced by Sale Officer, Lender may, at any time before the sale of the Property, direct the Sale Officer to abandon the sale, and may institute suit for the collection of the Debt or part thereof and for the foreclosure of this Security Instrument. If Lender shall institute suit for the collection of the Debt or part thereof, and for the foreclosure of this Security Instrument, Lender may at any time before the entry of final judgment in said suit dismiss the same (or part thereof) and direct the Sale Officer to sell the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Security Instrument. Lender may pursue its rights and remedies against any guarantor or other party liable for any of the obligations in such a suit for foreclosure or by separate suit, whether or not the Sale Officer is also pursuing a sale under the terms hereof. SECTION 11.12 RIGHT TO RELEASE INFORMATION. During the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may forward to any broker, prospective purchaser of the Property or the Loan, or other person or entity as Lender reasonably determines to be necessary or desirable, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt, Borrower, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor, the Property and any other matter in connection with the Loan, whether furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor or otherwise, as Lender reasonably determines to be necessary or desirable.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY ACTION BROUGHT TO ENFORCE THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY ACTION RELATING TO THE LOAN OR THE RELATIONSHIPS CREATED BY OR UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS ("ACTION") SHALL, AT THE ELECTION OF LENDER, BE IN (AND IF ANY ACTION IS ORIGINALLY BROUGHT IN ANOTHER VENUE, THE ACTION SHALL AT THE ELECTION OF LENDER BE TRANSFERRED TO) A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION LOCATED IN THE GOVERNING STATE.

SECTION 17.2 USURY LAWS. This Security Instrument and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Debt at a rate which could subject the holder of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Security Instrument or the Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Debt at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the Security Instrument and the Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of the Note. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. SECTION 17.3 PROVISIONS SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW. All rights, powers and remedies provided in this Security Instrument may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Security Instrument invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any Applicable Law. 60 SECTION 17.4 INAPPLICABLE PROVISION. If any term of this Security Instrument or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Security Instrument and any other application of the term shall not be affected thereby. ARTICLE 18 - SECONDARY MARKET SECTION 18.1 TRANSFER OF LOAN. Lender may at any time, (a) sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Security Instrument, and the other Loan Documents (a "LOAN SALE"), (b) any or all servicing rights with respect thereto ("SERVICING RIGHTS TRANSFERS"), (c) grant participations therein ("PARTICIPATIONS"), or (d) issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities ("SECURITIES") evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (a "SECURITIZATION"). Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, or investor (including any broker or authorized representative thereof) in such Loan Sale, Servicing Rights Transfers, Participations or Securities (collectively, the "INVESTOR") or any Rating Agency rating such Securities, each prospective Investor, and any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information that Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt, Borrower, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor, the Property and any other matter relating to the Loan, whether furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor, any Indemnitor or otherwise, as Lender reasonably determines necessary or desirable. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to limit or prevent such disclosure, including any right of privacy or any claims arising therefrom. SECTION 18.2 SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS. Lender shall have the right to engage in one or more Secondary Market Transactions (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the Loan, and to structure and restructure all or any part of the Loan, including in multiple tranches, as a wraparound loan, or for inclusion in a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" (a "REMIC") within the meaning of Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or other Securitization. Without limitation, Lender shall have the right to cause the Note and the Security Instrument to be split into a first and a second mortgage loan, or into one or more loans secured by mortgages in whatever proportion Lender determines provided that in no event shall such split result in a change in the applicable interest rate (except as set forth in Section 18.5) or any other economic term, and thereafter to engage in Secondary Market Transactions with respect to all or any part of the indebtedness and loan documentation. Borrower acknowledges that it is the intention of the parties that all or a portion of the Loan will be securitized and that all or a portion of the Loan will be rated by one or more Rating Agencies. Borrower further acknowledges that additional structural modifications may be required to satisfy issues raised by any Rating Agencies provided that such modifications will not result in a change of any economic terms. As used herein, "SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTION" means any of (i) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of all or any portion of the Debt or the Loan Documents or any interest therein to one or more Investors, (ii) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of one or more participation interests in the Debt or Loan Documents to one or more Investors, (iii) the transfer or deposit of all or any portion of the Debt or Loan Documents to or with one or more trusts or other entities which may sell certificates or other instruments to Investors evidencing an ownership interest in the assets of such trust or the right to receive income or proceeds therefrom or (iv) any other Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan or any interest therein. 61 SECTION 18.3 COOPERATION; LIMITATIONS. Borrower shall, at Lender's cost and expense, cooperate in good faith with Lender in effecting any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction. Such cooperation shall include executing and delivering such amendments to the Loan Documents and the organizational documents of Borrower and any constituent entities as Lender or any Rating Agency then rating the securities issued by the holder of the Loan, purchaser, transferee, assignee, trustee, servicer or potential Investor (the Rating Agencies and all of the foregoing parties are herein collectively referred to as "INTERESTED PARTIES") may reasonably request, provided however, that no such amendment shall modify (i) the interest rate payable under the Note (except as set forth in Section 18.5); (ii) the stated maturity date of the Note, (iii) the amortization of the principal amount of the Note, (iv) any other material economic terms of the Loan, (v) the non-recourse provisions of the Loan or (vi) any provision, the effect of which would increase Borrower's obligations or decrease Borrower's rights under the Loan Documents other than to a de minimis extent. Such cooperation also shall include using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such certificates and assurances from governmental entities and others as Lender may reasonably request. Borrower shall not be required to provide additional collateral that was not initially contemplated by the Loan Documents to effect any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction. Borrower shall not be required to pay any third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower or Lender in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction. SECTION 18.4 INFORMATION. Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide such access to personnel and such information and documents relating to Borrower, its constituent persons or entities, any Guarantor or Indemnitor, the Property and the business and operations of all of the foregoing and at Lender's cost and expense, such opinions of counsel as Lender may reasonably request or as any Rating Agency or any other Interested Party may request (and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and acceptable to each Interested Party) in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction including updated financial information, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase II's), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations together with appropriate verification of such updated information and reports through letters of auditors and consultants, all at Lender's cost and expense and, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, updated representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as any Rating Agency or other Interested Party may request. If requested by any Rating Agency or reasonably required by Lender, provide revisions or "bringdowns" to any opinions delivered at Closing , or if reasonably required by Lender or required by any Rating Agency or other Interested Party new versions of such opinions, addressed to Lender, any trustee under any Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan, any Rating Agency that assigns a rating to any securities in connection therewith. Lender shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies then rating the securities in connection with the Secondary Market Transaction, accounting firms, law firms, other third party advisory firms, potential investors, servicers and other service providers and other parties involved in any proposed Secondary Market Transaction. Borrower understands that any such information may be incorporated 62 into any offering circular, prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering documents for any Secondary Market Transaction. Lender and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms and investors shall be entitled to rely upon such information; provided that in no event shall Borrower be responsible for the accuracy of any information provided by a third party. SECTION 18.5 SEVERANCE. In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender and at Lender's sole cost and expense (a) sever the Loan into two or more portions in such individual amounts as Lender may determine, each of which portion shall be secured by a mortgage lien on the Property ("LOAN SPLITTING") or (b) sever the Loan into two or more tranches in such individual amounts as Lender may determine ("LOAN TRANCHING"; Loan Splitting and Loan Tranching are collectively referred to herein as a "CONVERSION"). To effectuate a Loan Split, Borrower, shall, promptly following written request of Lender, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender and/or its designee or designees substitute notes and security instruments in such principal amounts, aggregating not more than the then unpaid principal amount secured by this Security Instrument, and containing terms, provisions and clauses no less favorable to Borrower than those contained herein and in the Note, and such other documents and instruments as may be reasonably required by Lender to effect the splitting of the Note and this Security Instrument. Any such Loan Tranching shall be evidenced by Lender's then standard form "A/B Loan". Any Conversion shall not preclude any further Conversion or modification of the Loan by agreement of Borrower and Lender. In the event any portion of the Loan is converted into an "A/B Loan", the interest rate on any one or more components of the Loan may be changed at Lender's request provided that the weighted average interest rate of all components of the Loan shall in no event exceed at any time during the term of the Loan the interest rate set forth in the Note. Borrower shall cooperate with all of Lender's reasonable requests made in connection with a Conversion and shall deliver such documents as Lender may reasonably request in connection therewith, including any opinion letters which Lender may reasonably request, all of which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender. The aggregate of the principal amount of all such portions shall in no event exceed the then principal balance of the Loan. ARTICLE 19 - COSTS SECTION 19.1 ORIGINATION, ADMINISTRATION, ENFORCEMENT, AND DEFENSE EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand, all Administration and Enforcement Expenses (as hereinafter defined) now or hereafter incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date Lender delivers notice thereof to Borrower until such fees and expenses are paid by Borrower, whether or not an Event of Default or Default then exists. For the purpose of this Security Instrument, "ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT EXPENSES" shall mean all reasonable out of pocket fees and expenses incurred at any time or from time to time by Lender, including legal (whether for the purpose of advice, negotiation, documentation, defense, enforcement or otherwise), accounting, financial advisory, auditing, rating agency, appraisal, valuation, title or title insurance, engineering, environmental, collection agency, or other expert or consulting or similar services, in connection with: (a) the origination of the Loan, including the negotiation and preparation of this Security Instrument, any other Loan Document and any amendments or modifications of the Loan or the Loan Documents (except to the extent that Article 18 hereof expressly provides that Lender shall be responsible for the 63 costs thereof), whether or not consummated; (b) the administration, servicing or enforcement of the Loan or the Loan Documents (except to the extent that Article 18 hereof expressly provides that Lender shall be responsible for the costs thereof), including any request for interpretation or modification of the Loan Documents or any matter related to the Loan or the servicing thereof (which shall include the consideration of any requests for consents, waivers, modifications, approvals, lease reviews or similar matters and any proposed transfer of the Property or any interest therein), (c) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, arbitration, mediation, proceeding or action (whether instituted by or against Lender, including actions brought by or on behalf of Borrower or Borrower's bankruptcy estate or any indemnitor or guarantor of the Loan or any other person) in any way relating to the Loan or the Loan Documents including in connection with any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, or receivership proceeding; (d) any attempt to enforce any rights of Lender against Borrower or any other person that may be obligated to Lender by virtue of any Loan Document whether or not litigation is commenced in pursuance of such rights; and (e) protection, enforcement against, or liquidation of the Property or any other collateral for the Loan, including any attempt to inspect, verify, preserve, restore, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Loan, the Property or any other collateral for the Loan. All Administration and Enforcement Expenses shall be additional Debt hereunder secured by the Property, and may be funded, if Lender so elects, after prior written notice to Borrower if no Event of Default exists, by Lender paying the same to the appropriate persons and thus making an advance on Borrower's behalf. Other than in connection with a securitization, Borrower further acknowledges and confirms that it shall be responsible for the payment of all costs of reappraisal of the Property or any part thereof, whether required by law, regulation, Lender or any governmental or quasi-governmental authority.
