and truly pay to Lender the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note and this
Security Instrument, shall well and truly perform the Other Obligations as set forth in this
Security Instrument and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every covenant and
condition set forth herein and in the Note, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall
cease, terminate and be void; provided however, that Borrowers obligation to indemnify and
hold harmless Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof with respect to matters relating to any
period of time during which this Security Instrument was in effect shall survive any such payment
or release.
ARTICLE 2 DEBT AND OBLIGATIONS SECURED

amendment, modification, consolidation, change of, or substitution or replacement for, all
or any part of the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Loan Documents (as

Section 2.3 DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. Borrowers obligations for the payment of the
Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations shall be referred to collectively herein as the
Obligations.
Section 2.4 PAYMENTS. Unless payments are made in the required amount in immediately

have established by delivery of written notice thereof to Borrower) and shall be made and accepted
subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with
the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount
less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay
the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default (as hereinafter
defined).

ARTICLE 3 BORROWER COVENANTS
Borrower covenants and agrees that:
Section 3.1 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. All the covenants, conditions and agreements
contained in (a) the Note, and (b) all and any of the documents other than the Note or this
Security Instrument now or hereafter executed by Borrower and/or others and by or in favor of
Lender in connection with the creation of the Obligations, the payment of any other sums owed by
Borrower to Lender or the performance of any Obligations (collectively the Other Loan Documents),
are hereby made a part of this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if
fully set forth herein. The term Loan Documents as used herein shall individually and
collectively refer to the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this Security Instrument
to the contrary, the Obligations of the Borrower under that certain Environmental Indemnity
Agreement of even date herewith executed by Borrower in favor of Lender (the Environmental
Indemnity) shall not be deemed or construed to be secured by this Security Instrument or otherwise
restricted or affected by the foreclosure of the lien hereof or any other exercise by Lender of its
remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such Environmental Indemnity being intended by
the signatories thereto to be its (or their) unsecured obligation.
Section 3.2 INSURANCE.
(a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, and shall pay all premiums in accordance with
Subsection 3.2(b) below for, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at
least the following coverages:
(i) comprehensive all risk insurance (including, without limitation, riot and
civil commotion, vandalism, malicious mischief, water, fire, burglary and theft and
without any exclusion for terrorism) on the Improvements and the Personal Property
and in each case (A) in an amount equal to 100% of the Full Replacement Cost,
which for purposes of this Security Instrument shall mean actual replacement value
(exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings)
with a waiver of depreciation; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with
respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance
provisions; (C) providing that the deductible shall not exceed the lesser of
$10,000.00 or one percent (1%) of the face value of the policy; and (D) containing
Demolition Costs, Increased Cost of Construction and Ordinance or Law Coverage or
Enforcement endorsements in amounts satisfactory to Lender if any of the
Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal
non-conforming structures or uses or the ability to rebuild the Improvements is
restricted or prohibited. The Full Replacement Cost may be redetermined from time
to time by an appraiser or contractor designated and paid by Lender or by an
engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer. No omission on the part
of Lender to request any such appraisals shall relieve Borrower of any of its
obligations under this Subsection;
6
(ii) comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal
injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the
Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called occurrence form with a
combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 and not less than $3,000,000.00
if the Property has one or more elevators, as well as liquor liability insurance in
a minimum amount of $2,000,000.00 if any part of the Property is covered by a liquor
license and an aggregate coverage limit acceptable to Lender; (B) to continue at not
less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by
reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; (C) to
cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and
completed operations on an if any basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket
contractual liability for all written and oral contracts; (5) contractual liability
covering the indemnities contained in Article 11 hereof to the extent the
same is available; and (D) to be without deductible;
(iii) business income insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering
losses of income and Rents derived from the Property and any non-insured property on
or adjacent to the Property resulting from any risk or casualty whatsoever; (C)
containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the
physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the
continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the
same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of eighteen (18) months
from the date of the loss, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the
policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an amount equal to
100% of the projected gross income from the Property for a period of eighteen (18)
months. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined by Lender
prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrowers
reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding
eighteen (18) month period. All insurance proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to
this Subsection 3.2(a) shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the
obligations secured hereunder from time to time due and payable hereunder and under
the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured
hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the
extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income
insurance;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations
are being made with respect to the Improvements: (A) owners contingent or
protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or
provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and
(B) the insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a)(i) written in a
so-called builders risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2)
against all risks insured against pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a)(i), (3)
including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount
endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
7
(v) workers compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in
which the Property is located, and employers liability insurance with a limit of at
least $1,000,000.00 per accident and per disease per employee, and $1,000,000.00 for
disease aggregate in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or
in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);
(vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for
explosion), if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender and
covering all boilers or other pressure vessels, machinery and equipment located at
or about the Property (including, without limitation, electrical equipment,
sprinkler systems, heating and air conditioning equipment, refrigeration equipment
and piping);
(vii) 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 Full Replacement Cost; and
(viii) such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may
reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are
commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around
the region in which the Property is located, including, without limitation,
earthquake insurance (in the event the Property is located in an area with a high
degree of seismic activity), sinkhole insurance, mine subsidence insurance and
environmental insurance.
(b) All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a) hereof shall be obtained
under valid and enforceable policies (the Policies or in the singular, the Policy), in
such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may from time to
time be satisfactory to Lender, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance
companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located as
admitted or unadmitted carriers which, in either case, have been approved by Lender and
which have a claims paying ability rating of A or better issued by Standard & Poors Ratings
Group or with a claims paying ability rating otherwise acceptable to Lender (each such
insurer shall be referred to below as a Qualified Insurer). Such Policies shall not be
subject to invalidation due to the use or occupancy of the Property for purposes more
hazardous than the use of the Property at the time such Policies were issued. No Policy
required under Sections 3.2(a)(i) and (iii) hereof shall contain an exclusion from
coverage under such Policy for loss or damage incurred as a result of an act of terrorism or
similar acts of sabotage. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of
the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a),
certified copies of the Policies marked premium paid or accompanied by evidence
satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the Insurance Premiums),
shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender; provided, however, that in the
case of renewal Policies, Borrower may furnish Lender with binders therefor to be followed
by the original Policies when issued.
8
(c) Borrower shall not obtain (i) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing
in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 3.2(a) to be furnished by, or
which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower, or (ii) any umbrella or
blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, Lenders interest is included
therein as provided in this Security Instrument and such Policy is issued by a Qualified
Insurer. If Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy,
Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to
be delivered as required in Subsection 3.2(a). Any blanket insurance Policy shall
specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required
hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy
insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Subsection 3.2(a).
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Subsection 3.2(a)
shall name Lender, its successors and assigns, including any servicers, trustees or other
designees of Lender, and Borrower as the insured or additional insured, as their respective
interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, and flood
insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing Lender clause in
favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Subsection 3.2(a) shall contain
clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any
tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions
of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any
part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the
insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the
coverage provided on the Property thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an
insured;
(iii) each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written
notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its
expiration; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject
to any assessments thereunder.
(f) Borrower shall furnish to Lender within ten (10) calendar days after Lenders
request therefor, a statement certified by Borrower or a duly authorized officer of Borrower
of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such
insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if
requested by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent
insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender.
9
(g) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance
required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right but not the
obligation, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to
protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such
insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping
it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured
by this Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as hereinafter
defined).
(h) If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or
other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender.
(i) In case of loss covered by Policies, Lender may either (1) settle and
adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower, or (2) allow Borrower to agree
with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid upon the loss;
provided, that Borrower may adjust losses aggregating not in excess of
$100,000.00 if such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and
provided that in any case Lender shall and is hereby authorized to collect and
receive any such insurance proceeds; and the expenses incurred by Lender in the
adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall become part of the Debt and be
secured hereby and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand (unless
deducted by and reimbursed to Lender from such proceeds).
(ii) In the event of any insured damage to or destruction of the Property or
any part thereof (herein called an Insured Casualty), if (A) in the reasonable
judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within six (6) months after
insurance proceeds are made available and at least six (6) months prior to the
Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) to an economic unit not less valuable
(including an assessment by Lender of the impact of the termination of any Leases
due to such Insured Casualty) and not less useful than the same was prior to the
Insured Casualty, and after such restoration will adequately secure the outstanding
balance of the Debt, and (B) no Event of Default (hereinafter defined) shall have
occurred and be then continuing, then the proceeds of insurance shall be applied to
reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the
Property or part thereof subject to Insured Casualty, as provided below; and
Borrower hereby covenants and agrees forthwith to commence and diligently to
prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding; provided,
however, in any event Borrower shall pay all costs (and if required by
Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in advance) of such
restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding in excess of the net proceeds of
insurance made available pursuant to the terms hereof.
(iii) Except as provided above, the proceeds of insurance collected upon any
Insured Casualty shall, at the option of Lender in its sole discretion, be applied
to the payment of the Debt or applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost
of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property or part thereof
subject
10
to the Insured Casualty, in the manner set forth below. Any such
application to the Debt shall not be considered a voluntary prepayment requiring
payment of the prepayment consideration provided in the Note, and shall not reduce
or postpone any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note, other than the
final payment on the Note.
(iv) If proceeds of insurance, if any, are made available to Borrower for the
restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of the Property, Borrower hereby
covenants to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal
value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or
destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable law and plans and
specifications approved in advance by Lender.
(v) If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of insurance proceeds held by
Lender, such proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon Lender being
furnished with (1) evidence satisfactory to it (which evidence may include
inspection[s] of the work performed) that the restoration, repair, replacement and
rebuilding covered by the disbursement has been completed in accordance with plans
and specifications approved by Lender, (2) evidence satisfactory to it of the
estimated cost of completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding,
(3) funds, or, at Lenders option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds
are available, sufficient in addition to the proceeds of insurance to complete the
proposed restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, and (4) such architects
certificates, waivers of lien, contractors sworn statements, title insurance
endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and
performance as Lender may reasonably require and approve; and Lender may, in any
event, require that all plans and specifications for such restoration, repair,
replacement and rebuilding be submitted to and approved by Lender prior to
commencement of work. With respect to disbursements to be made by Lender: (A) no
payment made prior to the final completion of the restoration, repair, replacement
and rebuilding shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed
from time to time; (B) funds other than proceeds of insurance shall be disbursed
prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and (C) at all times, the undisbursed
balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds
deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by
or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the
reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration,
repair, replacement or rebuilding, free and clear of all liens or claims for lien
and the costs described in Subsection 3.2(h)(vi) below. Any surplus which
may remain out of insurance proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of
restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding shall be paid to any party entitled
thereto. In no event shall Lender assume any duty or obligation for the adequacy,
form or content of any such plans and specifications, nor for the performance,
quality or workmanship of any restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding.
11
(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the proceeds of
insurance reimbursed to Borrower in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Security Instrument shall be reduced by the reasonable costs (if any) incurred by
Lender in the adjustment and collection thereof and in the reasonable costs incurred
by Lender of paying out such proceeds (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys fees and costs paid to third parties for inspecting the restoration,
repair, replacement and rebuilding and reviewing the plans and specifications
therefor).
Section 3.3 PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC.
(a) Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental
impositions, and other charges, including without limitation, 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 will
deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lenders request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the
Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then
delinquent. Borrower shall not allow and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any
lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property.
Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes and Other Charges have been deposited
with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall furnish
to Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date the
same shall become delinquent.
(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 has occurred and is continuing under the Note,
this Security Instrument or any of the Other 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, (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 danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, (vi) Borrower shall
have set aside and deposited with Lender 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, or as may be requested by Lender to insure the payment of any contested
Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon.
12
Section 3.4 CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly 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 served in connection with such proceedings. Lender is hereby
irrevocably appointed as Borrowers attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive
power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment for said condemnation or eminent domain
and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceeding, subject to the
provisions of this Security Instrument. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public
authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in
lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), 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 award or payment therefor shall have been actually
received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or
discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the
condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or
rates provided herein or in the Note. Borrower shall cause the award or payment made in any
condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, which is payable to Borrower, to be paid directly to
Lender. Lender may apply any award or payment to the reduction or discharge of the Debt whether or
not then due and payable (such application to be free from any prepayment consideration provided in
the Note, except that if an Event of Default, or an event which with notice and/or the passage of
time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred, then such application shall be
subject to the full prepayment consideration computed in accordance with the Note). 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 award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient
to pay the Debt.
Section 3.5 USE AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause the Property to be
maintained and operated in a good and safe condition and repair and in keeping with the condition
and repair of properties of a similar use, value, age, nature and construction. Borrower shall not
use, maintain or operate the Property in any manner which constitutes a public or private nuisance
or which makes void, voidable, or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in
force with respect thereto. The Improvements and the Personal Property shall not be removed,
demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Personal Property with items
of the same utility and of equal or greater value) without the prior written consent of Lender.
Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be destroyed
by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be affected by any proceeding
of the character referred to in Section 3.4 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 which may be made
of the Property or any part thereof. 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 to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of
Lender. Borrower shall not take any steps whatsoever to convert the Property, or any portion
thereof, to a condominium or cooperative form of management.
13
Section 3.6 WASTE. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Property or,
without first obtaining such additional insurance as may be necessary to cover a proposed change in
use of the Property, make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially
increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any
action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be
done thereon anything that may in any way impair the value of the Property or the security of this
Security Instrument. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, 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 3.7 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; ALTERATIONS.
(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
or which may be interpreted to affect the Property, or the use thereof, including, but not
limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act (the ADA) (collectively Applicable
Laws).
(b) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any document regarding
Lenders approval of alterations of the Property, Borrower shall not alter the Property in
any manner which would increase Borrowers responsibilities for compliance with Applicable
Laws without the prior written approval of Lender. Lenders approval 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
upon receipt of a certificate of compliance with Applicable Laws from an independent
architect, engineer, or other person acceptable to Lender.
(c) Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any
notice related to a violation of any Applicable Laws and of the commencement of any
proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Applicable Laws.
(d) Borrower shall take appropriate measures to prevent and will not engage in or
knowingly permit any illegal activities at the Property.
Section 3.8 BOOKS AND RECORDS.
(a) Borrower shall keep accurate books and records of account in accordance with sound
accounting principles in which full, true and correct entries shall be promptly made with
respect to Borrower, the Property and the operation thereof, and will permit all such books
and records (including without limitation all contracts, statements, invoices, bills and
claims for labor, materials and services supplied for the construction, repair or operation
to Borrower of the Improvements) to be inspected or audited and copies made by Lender and
its representatives during normal business hours and at any other reasonable times.
Borrower represents that its chief executive office is as set forth in the
14
introductory paragraph of this Security Instrument and that all books and records
pertaining to the Property are maintained at the Property or such other location as may be
expressly disclosed to Lender in writing. Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished,
to Lender on or before forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter
the following items, each certified by Borrower as being true and correct, in such format
and in such detail as Lender or its servicer may request:
(i) a written statement (rent roll) dated as of the last day of each such
calendar quarter identifying each of the Leases by the term, space occupied, rental
required to be paid (including percentage rents and tenant sales), security deposit
paid, any rental concessions, all rent escalations, any rents paid more than one (1)
month in advance, any special provisions or inducements granted to tenants, any
taxes, maintenance and other common charges paid by tenants, all vacancies and
identifying any defaults or payment delinquencies thereunder; and
(ii) quarterly and year-to-date operating statements prepared for each calendar
quarter during each such reporting period detailing the total revenues received,
total expenses incurred, total cost of all capital improvements, total debt service
and total cash flow.
(b) Within ninety (90) calendar days following the end of each calendar year, Borrower
shall furnish a statement of the financial affairs and condition of the Borrower and the
Property including a statement of profit and loss for the Property in such format and in
such detail as Lender or its servicer may request, and setting forth the financial condition
and the income and expenses for the Property for the immediately preceding calendar year
prepared by an independent certified public accountant. Borrower shall deliver to Lender
copies of all income tax returns, requests for extension and other similar items
contemporaneously with its delivery of same to the Internal Revenue Service.
(c) Borrower will permit representatives appointed by Lender, including independent
accountants, agents, attorneys, appraisers and any other persons, to visit and inspect
during its normal business hours and at any other reasonable times any of the Property and
to make photographs thereof, and to write down and record any information such
representatives obtain, and shall permit Lender or its representatives to investigate and
verify the accuracy of the information furnished to Lender under or in connection with this
Security Instrument or any of the Other Loan Documents and to discuss all such matters with
its officers, employees and representatives. Borrower will furnish to Lender at Borrowers
expense all evidence which Lender may from time to time reasonably request as to the
accuracy and validity of or compliance with all representations and warranties made by
Borrower in the Loan Documents and satisfaction of all conditions contained therein. Any
inspection or audit of the Property or the books and records of Borrower, or the procuring
of documents and financial and other information, by or on behalf of Lender, shall be at
Borrowers expense and shall be for Lenders protection only, and shall not constitute any
assumption of responsibility or liability by Lender to Borrower or anyone else with regard
to the condition, construction, maintenance or
15
operation of the Property, nor Lenders approval of any certification given to Lender
nor relieve Borrower of any of Borrowers obligations.
(d) Prior to the transfer of the Loan by Lender pursuant to Section 16.1
hereof, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the reports required by Section 3.8(a)
on a monthly basis. Such reports shall be delivered within twenty (20) calendar days after
the end of each calendar month.
Section 3.9 PAYMENT FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS. Borrower will promptly pay when due all
bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically fabricated materials incurred in connection
with the Property and never permit to exist beyond the due date thereof in respect of the Property
or any part thereof any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the liens and the
security interests hereof, and in any event never permit to be created or exist in respect of the
Property or any part thereof any other or additional lien or security interest other than the liens
or security interests hereof, except for the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined).
Section 3.10 PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall observe and perform each
and every term to be observed or performed by Borrower pursuant to the terms of any agreement or
recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Property, or given by Borrower to Lender for the
purpose of further securing an obligation secured hereby and any amendments, modifications or
changes thereto.

on the Akron Premises (as shown on Exhibit A); one office building on the North Canton Premises (as
shown on Exhibit A); and one office building on the Dayton Premises (as shown on Exhibit A), and
for no other use without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in
Lenders sole and absolute discretion.
Section 4.2 ERISA.
(a) It shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action
taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the
Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a
statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).
(b) It shall deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time
throughout the term of the Security Instrument, as requested by Lender in its sole
discretion, that (i) Borrower is not an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3)

at least 30 days prior to the proposed transfer, (iii) Lender has obtained such estoppels
from any guarantors of the Note or replacement guarantors and such other legal opinions
regarding substantive consolidation issues, enforceability of the assumption documents, no
adverse impact on the Securities or any REMIC holding the Note and similar matters as Lender
may require, (iv) all of Lenders costs and expenses associated with the sale or transfer
(including reasonable attorneys fees) are paid by Borrower or the grantee or transferee,
(v) the payment of a transfer fee not to exceed 1% of the then unpaid principal balance of
the loan evidenced by the Note and secured hereby (the Loan), (vi) the execution and
delivery to Lender of a written assumption agreement and/or substitute guaranty (in its sole
and absolute discretion) and such modifications to the Loan Documents executed by such
parties and containing such terms and conditions as Lender may require in its sole and
absolute discretion prior to such sale or transfer (provided that in the event the Loan is
included in a REMIC and is a performing Loan, no modification to the terms and conditions
shall be made or permitted that would cause (A) any adverse tax consequences to the REMIC or
any holders of any Mortgage-Backed Pass-Through Securities, (B) the Security Instrument to
fail to be a Qualifying Security Instrument under applicable federal law relating to
REMICs, or (C) result in a taxation of the income from the Loan to the REMIC or cause a
loss of REMIC status), and (vii) if applicable, the delivery to Lender of an endorsement (at
Borrowers sole cost and expense) to Lenders policy of title insurance then insuring the
lien created by this Security Instrument in form and substance acceptable to Lender in its
sole judgment.
(d) Without limiting the foregoing, if Lender shall consent to a transfer of the
Property, the written assumption agreement described in Subsection 8.3(c)(vi) above

personal liability under the Note and Other Loan Documents, but only as to acts or events
occurring, or obligations arising, after the closing of such transfer.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2 above, Borrower shall be
permitted to transfer any of the Released Parcels upon compliance with the terms and
conditions set forth in Article 21 hereof.
Section 8.4 NO IMPLIED FUTURE CONSENT. Lenders consent to one sale, conveyance,
alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Property shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of Lenders right to require such consent to any future occurrence of same. Any sale,
conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Property made in
contravention of this Article 8 shall be null and void and of no force and effect.
Section 8.5 COSTS OF CONSENT. Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse

and (b) the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay or Lender may charge and collect
(the Default Rate).
ARTICLE 10 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
Section 10.1 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower agrees
that Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and
enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, but not limited to, the
following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such
order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the
other rights and remedies of Lender:
(a) Right to Perform Borrowers Covenants. If Borrower has failed to keep or
perform any covenant whatsoever contained in this Security Instrument or the Other Loan
31
Documents, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to any person to do so, perform or attempt
to perform said covenant and any payment made or expense incurred in the performance or
attempted performance of any such covenant, together with any sum expended by Lender that is
chargeable to Borrower or subject to reimbursement by Borrower under the Loan Documents,
shall be and become a part of the Debt, and Borrower promises, upon demand, to pay to
Lender, at the place where the Note is payable, all sums so incurred, paid or expended by
Lender, with interest from the date when paid, incurred or expended by Lender at the Default
Rate.
(b) Right of Entry. Lender may, prior or subsequent to the institution of any
foreclosure proceedings, enter upon the Property, or any part thereof, and take exclusive
possession of the Property and of all books, records, and accounts relating thereto and to
exercise without interference from Borrower any and all rights which Borrower has with
respect to the management, possession, operation, protection, or preservation of the
Property, including without limitation the right to rent the same for the account of
Borrower and to deduct from such Rents all costs, expenses, and liabilities of every
character incurred by Lender in collecting such Rents and in managing, operating,
maintaining, protecting, or preserving the Property and to apply the remainder of such Rents
on the Debt in such manner as Lender may elect. All such costs, expenses, and liabilities
incurred by Lender in collecting such Rents and in managing, operating, maintaining,
protecting, or preserving the Property, if not paid out of Rents as hereinabove provided,
shall constitute a demand obligation owing by Borrower and shall bear interest from the date
of expenditure until paid at the Default Rate, all of which shall constitute a portion of
the Debt. If necessary to obtain the possession provided for above, Lender may invoke any
and all legal remedies to dispossess Borrower, including specifically one or more actions
for forcible entry and detainer, trespass to try title, and restitution. In connection with
any action taken by Lender pursuant to this Subsection 10.1(b), Lender shall not be
liable for any loss sustained by Borrower resulting from any failure to let the Property, or
any part thereof, or from any other act or omission of Lender in managing the Property
unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct of Lender, nor shall Lender be
obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty, or liability under any Lease or
under or by reason hereof or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder. Borrower shall
and does hereby agree to indemnify Lender for, and to hold Lender harmless from, any and all
liability, loss, or damage, which may or might be incurred by Lender under any such Lease or
under or by reason hereof or the exercise of rights or remedies hereunder, and from any and
all claims and demands whatsoever
which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or
undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements
contained in any such Lease. Should Lender incur any such liability, the amount thereof,
including without limitation costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys fees, together with
interest thereon from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Rate, shall be
secured hereby, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender therefor immediately upon demand.
Nothing in this Subsection 10.1(b) shall impose any duty, obligation, or
responsibility upon Lender for the control, care, management, leasing, or repair of the
Property, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any such Lease; nor
shall it operate to make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the
Property by the tenants or by any other parties, or for any hazardous substances or
32
environmental conditions on or under the Property, or for any dangerous or defective
condition of the Property or for any negligence in the management, leasing, upkeep, repair,
or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee,
employee, or stranger. Borrower hereby assents to, ratifies, and confirms any and all
actions of Lender with respect to the Property taken under this subsection.
(c) Right to Accelerate. Lender may, without notice (except as provided in
Section 9.1(o) above) demand, presentment, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance,
protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or any
other notice or any other action, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower and all other
parties obligated in any manner whatsoever on the Debt, declare the entire unpaid balance of
the Debt immediately due and payable, and upon such declaration, the entire unpaid balance
of the Debt shall be immediately due and payable.
(d) Foreclosure-Power of Sale. Lender may institute a proceeding or
proceedings, judicial, or nonjudicial, by advertisement or otherwise, for the complete or
partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument or the complete or partial sale of the
Property under power of sale or under any applicable provision of law. Lender may sell the
Property, and all estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand of Borrower therein, and
all rights of redemption thereof, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, with
such elements of real and/or personal property, and at such time and place and upon such
terms as it may deem expedient, or as may be required by applicable law, and in the event of
a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security
Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the
Property.
(e) Rights Pertaining to Sales. Subject to the requirements of applicable law
and except as otherwise provided herein, the following provisions shall apply to any sale or
sales of all or any portion of the Property under or by virtue of Subsection 10.1(d)
above, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or by virtue of judicial
proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale:
(i) Lender may conduct any number of sales from time to time. The power of
sale set forth above shall not be exhausted by any one or more such sales as to any
part of the Property which shall not have been sold, nor by any sale
which is not completed or is defective in Lenders opinion, until the Debt
shall have been paid in full.
(ii) 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 without
further notice.
(iii) After each sale, Lender or an officer of any court empowered to do so
shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale a good and
sufficient instrument or instruments granting, conveying, assigning and transferring
all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the property and rights sold and
shall receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the same
33
as specified in
the Note. 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 Borrowers name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances,
assignments, transfers and deliveries of the property and rights so sold, Borrower
hereby ratifying and confirming 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 all such instruments as may
be advisable, in Lenders judgment, for the purposes as may be designated in such
request.
(iv) Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any of the
instruments referred to in Subsection 10.1(e)(iii) given by Lender shall be
taken as conclusive and binding against all persons as to evidence of the truth of
the facts so stated and recited.
(v) 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 or any interest therein, by, through or
under Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(vi) 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 which Lender is authorized to deduct under the terms
hereof, to the extent necessary to satisfy such bid.
(vii) Upon any such sale, it shall not be necessary for Lender or any public
officer acting under execution or order of court to have present or constructively
in its possession any of the Property.
(f) Lenders Judicial Remedies. Lender may proceed by suit or suits, at law or
in equity, to enforce the payment of the Debt to foreclose the liens and security interests
of this Security Instrument as against all or any part of the Property, and to have all or
any part of the Property sold under the judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction. This remedy shall be cumulative of any other nonjudicial remedies available
to Lender under this Security Instrument, the Note or the Other Loan Documents. Proceeding
with a request or receiving a judgment for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an
election of remedies or bar any available nonjudicial remedy of Lender.
(g) Lenders Right to Appointment of Receiver. Lender, as a matter of right
and (i) without regard to the sufficiency of the security for repayment of the Debt and
without notice to Borrower, (ii) without any showing of insolvency, fraud, or mismanagement
on the part of Borrower, (iii) without the necessity of filing any judicial
34
or other
proceeding other than the proceeding for appointment of a receiver, and (iv) without regard
to the then value of the Property, shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver or
receivers for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Property,
including (without limitation), the power to collect the Rents, enforce this Security
Instrument and, in case of a sale and deficiency, during the full statutory period of
redemption (if any), whether there be a redemption or not, as well as during any further
times when Borrower, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to
collection of such Rents. Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the appointment of a
receiver or receivers. Any receiver appointed pursuant to the provisions of this subsection
shall have the usual powers and duties of receivers in such matters.
(h) Commercial Code Remedies. Exercise any and all rights and remedies granted
to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the Personal
Property or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary
for the care, protection and preservation of the Personal Property, and (ii) request
Borrower at its expense to assemble the Personal Property and make it available to Lender at
a convenient place acceptable to Lender. 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
commercially reasonable notice to Borrower.
(i) Apply Escrow Funds. Lender may apply any Funds (as defined in the Escrow
Agreement) and any other sums held in escrow or otherwise by Lender in accordance with the
terms of this Security Instrument or any Other Loan Document to the payment of the following
items in any order in its uncontrolled discretion:
(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
(v) All other sums payable pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument and
the Other Loan Documents, including without limitation advances made by Lender
pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument and reasonable internal costs and
expenses incurred by Lender including, without limitation, Lenders reasonable
in-house legal fees.
(j) Other Rights. Lender (i) may surrender the Policies maintained pursuant to
this Security Instrument or any part thereof, and upon receipt shall apply the unearned
premiums as a credit on the Debt, 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 premiums; and (ii) may apply the Tax and Insurance
Funds (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) and/or the On-going
35
Replacement Funds (as defined
in the Escrow Agreement) and any other funds held by Lender toward payment of the Debt; and
(iii) shall have and may exercise any and all other rights and remedies which Lender may
have at law or in equity, or by virtue of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise.
(k) Discontinuance of Remedies. In case Lender shall have proceeded to invoke
any right, remedy, or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect
to discontinue or abandon same for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right so to
do and, in such event, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions with
respect to the Debt, the Loan Documents, the Property or otherwise, and the rights,
remedies, recourses and powers of Lender shall continue as if same had never been invoked.
(l) Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and recourses of Lender granted
in the Note, this Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents, any other pledge of
collateral, or otherwise available at law or equity: (i) shall be cumulative and
concurrent; (ii) may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently against Borrower,
the Property, or any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Lender; (iii) may be
exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Borrower that the
exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or
release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse; (iv) shall be nonexclusive; (v)
shall not be conditioned upon Lender exercising or pursuing any remedy in relation to the
Property prior to Lender bringing suit to recover the Debt; and (vi) in the event Lender
elects to bring suit on the Debt and obtains a judgment against Borrower prior to exercising
any remedies in relation to the Property, all liens and security interests, including the
lien of this Security Instrument, shall remain in full force and effect and may be exercised
thereafter at Lenders option.
(m) Bankruptcy Acknowledgment. In the event the Property or any portion
thereof or any interest therein becomes property of any bankruptcy estate or subject to any
state or federal insolvency proceeding, then Lender shall immediately become entitled, in
addition to all other relief to which Lender may be entitled under this Security Instrument,
to obtain (i) an order from the Bankruptcy Court or other appropriate court
granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to § 362 of the Bankruptcy
Code so to permit Lender to pursue its rights and remedies against Borrower as provided
under this Security Instrument and all other rights and remedies of Lender at law and in
equity under applicable state law, and (ii) an order from the Bankruptcy Court prohibiting
Borrowers use of all cash collateral as defined under § 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. In
connection with such Bankruptcy Court orders, Borrower shall not contend or allege in any
pleading or petition filed in any court proceeding that Lender does not have sufficient
grounds for relief from the automatic stay. Any bankruptcy petition or other action taken
by the Borrower to stay, condition, or inhibit Lender from exercising its remedies are
hereby admitted by Borrower to be in bad faith and Borrower further admits that Lender would
have just cause for relief from the automatic stay in order to take such actions authorized
under state law.
36
(n) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from any sale, lease, or other
disposition made pursuant to this Security Instrument, or the proceeds from the surrender of
any insurance policies pursuant hereto, or any Rents collected by Lender from the Property,
or the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund or the Replacement Escrow Fund (as defined in the
Escrow Agreement) or proceeds from insurance which Lender elects to apply to the Debt
pursuant to Article 3 hereof, shall be applied by Lender to the Debt in the
following order and priority: (1) to the payment of all expenses of advertising, selling,
and conveying the Property or part thereof, and/or prosecuting or otherwise collecting
Rents, proceeds, premiums or other sums including reasonable attorneys fees; (2) to that
portion, if any, of the Debt with respect to which no person or entity has personal or
entity liability for payment (the Exculpated Portion), and with respect to the Exculpated
Portion as follows: first, to accrued but unpaid interest, second, to matured principal, and
third, to unmatured principal in inverse order of maturity; (3) to the remainder of the Debt
as follows: first, to the remaining accrued but unpaid interest, second, to the matured
portion of principal of the Debt, and third, to prepayment of the unmatured portion, if any,
of principal of the Debt applied to installments of principal in inverse order of maturity;
(4) the balance, if any or to the extent applicable, remaining after the full and final
payment of the Debt to the holder or beneficiary of any inferior liens covering the
Property, if any, in order of the priority of such inferior liens (Lender shall hereby be
entitled to rely exclusively on a commitment for title insurance issued to determine such
priority); and (5) the cash balance, if any, to the Borrower. The application of proceeds
of sale or other proceeds as otherwise provided herein shall be deemed to be a payment of
the Debt like any other payment. The balance of the Debt remaining unpaid, if any, shall
remain fully due and owing in accordance with the terms of the Note and the other Loan
Documents.
Section 10.2 RIGHT OF ENTRY. Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and
inspect the Property at all reasonable times.
ARTICLE 11 INDEMNIFICATION; SUBROGATION
Section 11.1
GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless against: (i) any and all
claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made relating to the
Property or the Debt, and (ii) any and all liability, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and expenses (including Lenders reasonable
attorneys fees, together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) of whatever kind
or nature which may be asserted against, imposed on or incurred by Lender in connection with
the Debt, this Security Instrument, the Property, or any part thereof, or the exercise by
Lender of any rights or remedies granted to it under this Security Instrument;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate
Borrower to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and
expenses enacted against, imposed on or incurred by Lender by reason of Lenders willful
misconduct or gross negligence.
37
(b) If Lender is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened or
brought against Lender concerning the secured indebtedness, this Security Instrument, the
Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or the construction, maintenance,
operation or occupancy or use thereof, then Lender shall notify Borrower of such litigation
or claim and Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against all
liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including reasonable attorneys fees
(together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any). The right to such attorneys
fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by
Lender in any such litigation or claim of the type described in this Subsection
11.1(b), whether or not any such litigation or claim is prosecuted to judgment,
shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such claim or action and shall be
enforceable whether or not such claim or action is prosecuted to judgment. If Lender
commences an action against Borrower to enforce any of the terms hereof or to prosecute any
breach by Borrower of any of the terms hereof or to recover any sum secured hereby, Borrower
shall pay to Lender its reasonable attorneys fees (together with reasonable appellate
counsel fees, if any) and expenses. If Borrower breaches any term of this Security
Instrument, Lender may engage the services of an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights
hereunder, and in the event of such engagement following any breach by Borrower, Borrower
shall pay Lender reasonable attorneys fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel
fees, if any) and expenses incurred by Lender, whether or not an action is actually
commenced against Borrower by reason of such breach. All references to attorneys in this
Subsection 11.1(b) and elsewhere in this Security Instrument shall include without
limitation any attorney or law firm engaged by Lender and Lenders in-house counsel, and all
references to fees and expenses in this Subsection 11.1(b) and elsewhere in this
Security Instrument shall include without limitation any fees of such attorney or law firm
and any allocation charges and allocation costs of Lenders in-house counsel.
(c) A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by Borrower from its insurance carrier
and, consequently, Borrower waives any and all right to claim or recover against Lender, its
officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to Borrower, the
Property, Borrowers property or the property of others under Borrowers control from any
cause insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of this Security
Instrument.
Section 11.2 ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and
expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and
against any and all Losses (as hereinafter defined) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against

ARTICLE 12 SECURITY AGREEMENT
Section 12.1 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. Borrower by executing and
delivering this Security Instrument has granted and hereby grants to Lender, as security for the
Obligations, a security interest in the Property to the full extent that the Property may be
subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform
Commercial Code being called in this paragraph the Collateral). Borrower hereby authorizes
Lender to prepare and file, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, such financing
statements, continuation statements, other uniform commercial code forms and shall pay all expenses
and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof, and such further assurances as Lender
may from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Lenders
security interest herein granted. This Security Instrument shall also be effective as a fixture
filing as to Property which is or is to become fixtures. Information concerning the security
interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the parties set forth
in the first paragraph of this Security Instrument. If an Event of Default shall occur, Lender, in
addition to any other rights and remedies which they may have, shall have and may exercise
immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon
default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such
other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the
Collateral. Upon request or demand of Lender, Borrower shall at its expense
41
assemble the
Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender. Borrower
shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and attorneys fees,
incurred or paid by Lender in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights
hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action
by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof
at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to
Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied
by Lender to the payment of the Obligations in such priority and proportions as Lender in its
discretion shall deem proper. Borrower shall promptly advise Lender of the accrual of any
commercial tort claims involving the Property. In the event of any change in name, identity,
structure, or jurisdiction or form of organization of any Borrower, such Borrower shall notify
Lender thereof, and Lender shall be authorized to prepare and file such Uniform Commercial Code
forms as Lender may deem necessary to maintain the priority of Lenders lien upon and security
interest in the Collateral, and Borrower shall pay all expenses and fees in connection with such
filing. Lender shall also be authorized to prepare and file such other additional Uniform
Commercial Code forms or continuation statements as Lender shall deem necessary, and Borrower shall
pay all expenses and fees in connection with the filing thereof, it being understood and agreed,
however, that no such additional documents shall increase Borrowers obligations under the Note,
this Security Instrument and the Other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender
as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the appropriate public office on
its behalf any financing or other statements signed only by Lender, as Borrowers attorney-in-fact,
in connection with the Collateral covered by this Security Instrument. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Borrower shall appear and defend in any action or proceeding which affects or
purports to affect the Property and any interest or right therein, whether such proceeding affects
title or any other rights in the Property (and in conjunction therewith, Borrower shall fully
cooperate with Lender in the event Lender is a party to such action or proceeding).

paragraph is provided in connection with the filing of this Security Instrument as a financing

arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall be in the sole discretion of
Lender and shall be final and conclusive, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically
provided herein.

shall continue indefinitely in full force and effect and shall survive and shall in no way be
impaired by: any satisfaction or other termination of this Security Instrument, any assignment or

TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND EACH WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY

INSTRUMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION
ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE RELATING TO (A) ALLEGATIONS
THAT A PARTNERSHIP EXISTS BETWEEN LENDER AND BORROWER; (B) USURY OR PENALTIES OR DAMAGES THEREFOR;

OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER OR BORROWER ARE EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH
IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY LENDER AND BORROWER.
Section 13.6 WAIVER OF AUTOMATIC OR SUPPLEMENTAL STAY. In the event of the filing of
any voluntary or involuntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code by or against Borrower (other than

ARTICLE 15 APPLICABLE LAW
Section 15.1 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. This Security Instrument shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with applicable federal law and the laws of the state where the
Property is located, without reference or giving effect to any choice of law doctrine. Borrower
hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction located in
the state in which the Property is located in connection with any proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Security Instrument.
Section 15.2 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 15.3 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. 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.

rating such Securities (collectively, the Investor) and each prospective Investor, all documents
and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt and to Borrower,
