Mortgagee shall not be limited to the rate of interest paid on any such award or payment from a Condemnation but shall be entitled to receive out of such award or payment interest at the rate then applicable under the Note. Mortgagor shall cause any award or payment payable to Mortgagor in any Condemnation to be paid directly to Mortgagee. If the proceeds from any Condemnation (or series of related Condemnations) are less than $1,000,000, then if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such proceeds shall be paid to Mortgagor and may be used by Mortgagor for any lawful purpose. If the proceeds from any Condemnation (or series of related Condemnations) are in excess of $1,000,000, either (A) Mortgagor shall apply such proceeds towards an improvement of the property which is the subject of the Condemnation, in a manner reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee and shall reasonably document such improvements to Mortgagee, or, (B) if Mortgagor chooses not to apply such proceeds towards improvement of the Mortgaged Property which is the subject of the Condemnation, Mortgagee shall apply any such award or payment (after deducting any expenses of collection) to the reduction or discharge of the Indebtedness (whether or not then due and payable). If the Mortgaged Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Mortgagee of any such award or payment, Mortgagee shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive said award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to fully satisfy the Indebtedness. 8. LEASES AND RENTS. Mortgagor does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assign to Mortgagee all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Mortgagor that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. The terms and conditions of this assignment shall be governed by the Assignment of Leases and Rents (the "ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES") executed by Mortgagor in favor of Mortgagee contemporaneously with this Mortgage. Except as permitted pursuant to the Assignment of Leases, Mortgagor shall not enter into any future Leases of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property. 9. MAINTENANCE, USE AND MANAGEMENT OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. (a) Mortgagor shall cause the Mortgaged Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. The Improvements and the Equipment shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Equipment) without the consent of Mortgagee, not to be unreasonably withheld. Mortgagor shall promptly comply with all laws, orders and ordinances affecting the Mortgaged Property, or the use thereof, except that Mortgagor shall be permitted to contest any change or proposed change thereto under the same terms and conditions as permitted in paragraph 5(b), above. Mortgagor shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property which may be destroyed by any Casualty, become damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be affected by any Condemnation, and shall also complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Premises. Unless Mortgagee otherwise consents in writing, Mortgagor shall not initiate, join in, 6 acquiesce in or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, replat, easement, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Mortgagor will not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Mortgagee. (b) Mortgagor shall use and continuously operate and permit the use and continuous operation of the Premises and the Improvements as provided for in Mortgagor's original loan application to Mortgagee. (c) Unless Mortgagee otherwise consents in writing, Mortgagor shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in or consent to the removal or resignation of the managing agent for the Mortgaged Property or the transfer of ownership, management or control of such managing agent to a person or entity other than Mortgagor or the general partner or managing partner of Mortgagor. 10. SALE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. (a) Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and experience of the constituent Mortgagors in agreeing to make the loan secured hereby, and that Mortgagee has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property so as to ensure that should Mortgagor default in the repayment of the Indebtedness, Mortgagee can recover the Indebtedness by a sale of the Mortgaged Property. (b) Mortgagor may not transfer the Mortgaged Property except as may be permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement. 11. NO OTHER ENCUMBRANCES PERMITTED. Except for financing liens placed against the Mortgagor's inventory in the normal course of business, Mortgagor shall not, directly or indirectly, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, assign or otherwise place a lien or security interest against the Mortgaged Property without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which consent may be given or withheld by Mortgagee in each instance in its sole discretion. If Mortgagee does consent to any additional mortgages or liens, it may require the modification of this Mortgage, payment of an administrative fee in an amount determined by Mortgagee and such other conditions as Mortgagee shall determine in its sole discretion. Mortgagee shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Indebtedness immediately due and payable upon such encumbrance. This provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Mortgagee has consented to any previous sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the Mortgaged Property. 7 12.

Mortgagor, on demand, will execute and deliver and hereby authorizes Mortgagee to execute in the name of Mortgagor or without the signature of Mortgagor to the extent Mortgagee may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments, to evidence or perfect more effectively the security interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Mortgagee under the Note, this Mortgage, the other Credit Facility Documents, at law or in equity, including without limitation the rights and remedies described in this paragraph. 17. RECORDING OF MORTGAGE, ETC.

The Indebtedness shall become immediately due and payable at the option of Mortgagee, without notice or demand, upon the occurrence of any one or more of the followings events ("EVENTS OF DEFAULT"): (a) any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement); (b) if Mortgagor fails to make the full and punctual payment of Taxes or Other Charges as required hereby; (c) if Mortgagor fails to keep the policies of insurance required under Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement in full force and effect, or fails to promptly deliver copies thereof to Mortgagee upon request; (d) if Mortgagor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or if Mortgagor is not paying Indebtedness as and when the same become due; (e) if a receiver, liquidator or trustee of Mortgagor shall be appointed or if Mortgagor is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Mortgagor or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Mortgagor shall be instituted; however, if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to by Mortgagor, then upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within sixty (60) days; (f) if Mortgagor shall be in default under any other deed of trust, mortgage or security agreement covering any part of the Mortgaged Property whether it be superior or junior in priority to this Mortgage (it not being implied by this clause that any such encumbrance will be permitted); (g) if the Mortgaged Property becomes subject to any mechanic's, materialman's or other lien (other than a lien for local real estate taxes and assessments not then due and payable, or any lien being contested by Mortgagor pursuant to its rights hereunder) and such lien shall remain undischarged of record (by payment, bonding or otherwise) for a period of sixty (60) calendar days; (h) if Mortgagor fails to promptly and diligently cure any material violations of laws or ordinances affecting the Mortgaged Property; or (i) if for more than thirty (30) days after written notice from Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall fail to perform any other term, covenant or condition of the Note, this Mortgage 9 or any of the other Credit Facility Documents; provided, however, that if such failure to perform is of a type which cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period and Mortgagor diligently commences and prosecutes such cure, Mortgagee shall allow a reasonable additional time period (not to exceed sixty (60) additional days) to complete such cure. 20. [Intentionally Deleted] 21. RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, or if Mortgagor fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein required, Mortgagee may do such acts or make such payments in Mortgagor's stead, in such manner and to the extent that Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Any such acts or payments by Mortgagee shall be at Mortgagee's sole discretion, may be taken without notice to or demand on Mortgagor, and will not release Mortgagor from any obligation hereunder. Mortgagee is authorized to enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property, to cause this Mortgage to be foreclosed or to collect the Indebtedness. All such costs and expenses (including attorney fees) incurred by Mortgagee in remedying any such Event of Default, in acting or making payments in Mortgagor's stead, or in appearing in, defending or bringing any of the foregoing actions or proceedings, shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Mortgagee until the date of payment to Mortgagee. All such costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee together with interest thereon calculated at the above rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Indebtedness and be secured by this Mortgage and the other Credit Facility Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Mortgagee therefor. 22. NON-DISTURBANCE OF TENANTS. Provided a tenant of the Mortgaged Property is not in default under the terms of its Lease, Mortgagee agrees that in the event it acquires title to all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property by reason of a foreclosure, the tenant's possession and occupancy of the Mortgaged Property and the tenant's rights and privileges under its Lease during the term thereof (including any renewal term) shall not be disturbed and Mortgagee shall recognize the Lease and tenant's rights thereunder. 23. MORTGAGEE'S REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods), Mortgagee may take such actions against Mortgagor and/or against any Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof or with respect to all of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof as Mortgagee determines is necessary to protect and enforce its rights hereunder, without notice or demand except as set forth below. Any such actions taken by Mortgagee shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Mortgagee may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee permitted by law, equity or con- 10 tract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Such actions may include the following: (a) ACCELERATION. Subject to and in accordance with any applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other unpaid Indebtedness, may be declared to be immediately due and payable. (b) ENTRY. Mortgagee may enter into or upon any Mortgaged Property, personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys, and may dispossess Mortgagor and its agents and servants therefrom, and thereupon Mortgagee may: (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every portion of any Mortgaged Property and conduct business thereon, in any case either in the name of Mortgagee or in such other name as Mortgagee shall in its reasonable discretion deem advisable; (ii) exercise all rights and powers of Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgaged Property whether in the name of Mortgagor or otherwise, including the right to enter into, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents with respect to any Mortgaged Property; and (iii) apply the receipts of all such Rents with respect to said Mortgaged Property to the payment of the Indebtedness in such order as Mortgagee shall determine in its sole discretion, after deducting therefrom all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations. (c) FORECLOSURE. Mortgagee may institute proceedings for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Mortgage against all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, in which case any Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof may be sold for cash or upon credit, as an entirety or in parcels or portions. Mortgagee may institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Mortgage against all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property for the portion of the Indebtedness which is then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien of this Mortgage on the remainder of the Mortgaged Property for the balance of the Indebtedness not then due, and in the event of the foreclosure or other action by Mortgagee to enforce its remedies in connection with one (l) or more of the Mortgaged Properties or all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, regardless of the Net Proceeds received in connection with such foreclosure sale (or other remedy), all Net Proceeds received shall be applied to repay the Indebtedness, the Indebtedness shall be reduced to the extent of such Net Proceeds and the remaining portion of the Indebtedness shall remain outstanding and secured by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed by Mortgagor that Mortgagor is liable for the repayment of the Indebtedness and that any "excess" foreclosure proceeds are part of the cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted security granted to Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage. NET PROCEEDS: Shall mean (i) either (x) the purchase price (at foreclosure or otherwise) actually received by Mortgagee with respect to one or more Individual Properties as a result of the exercise by Mortgagee of its rights, powers, privileges and other remedies after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (y) in the event 11 that Mortgagee (or Mortgagee's nominee) is the purchaser at foreclosure of all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property) by credit bid, then the purchase price received by Mortgagee (in either case, the "PURCHASE PRICE") shall be the amount actually received by Mortgagee upon its ultimate disposition of the applicable Mortgaged Property so acquired by credit bid, in either case less (ii) all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, all brokerage fees, if applicable, appraisal fees, architect, engineer, environmental consultant and other professional fees and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the exercise of such remedies and in connection with its efforts to dispose of the Mortgaged Property in question (including without limitation the cost to repair and restore the same in preparation for sale) and in connection with the ultimate disposition of the Mortgaged Property in question and all operating expenses of such Mortgaged Property; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such costs and expenses shall not be deducted from such Purchase Price to the extent such amounts previously have been added to the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage or applicable law or otherwise paid by or on behalf of Mortgagor from sources other than foreclosure or sales proceeds. Nothing herein providing a credit for Net Proceeds against the Indebtedness in connection with a foreclosure of any Mortgaged Property shall be construed to prevent or delay the simultaneous or subsequent foreclosure of any other Mortgaged Property. (d) SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Mortgagee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may institute any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein or in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in aid of the execution of any power granted hereunder or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy. (e) ENFORCEMENT OF NOTES. Subject to and in accordance with any applicable provisions of the Notes and the Credit Agreement, Mortgagee may recover judgment on the Note (or any portion of the Indebtedness evidenced thereby), either before, during or after any proceedings for the foreclosure (or partial foreclosure) or enforcement of this Mortgage. (f) APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. Mortgagee as a matter of right, without notice, may secure the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of any Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to such appointment, without regard to the value of its Mortgaged Property or the adequacy of the security for the Indebtedness and without regard to the solvency of Mortgagor or any other Person liable for the payment of the Indebtedness, and such receiver or other official shall have all rights and powers permitted by applicable law and such other rights and powers as the court making such appointment may confer, but the appointment of such receiver or other official shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Mortgagee to receive the Rents with respect to any of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Mortgage. 12 (g) UCC REMEDIES. Mortgagee may exercise any or all of the remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (as hereinafter defined). (h) PARTIAL FORECLOSURE. In the event of the foreclosure of this Mortgage as it relates to all or any portion of an Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or other transfer of title to or assignment of all or any portion of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties in extinguishment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to all policies of insurance required by this Mortgage (to the extent same relate to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties) and any insurance Proceeds (to the extent same relate to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties) shall inure to the benefit of and pass to Mortgagee or any purchaser(s) or transferee(s) of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. (i) EFFECT OF JUDGMENT. No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon one (1) or more Mortgaged Properties or any portion thereof or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall adversely affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Mortgage upon the remaining Mortgaged Properties or any portion thereof, or any rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder. Such lien, rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before. (j) CONTINUING POWER OF SALE. The power of sale conferred upon Mortgagee in this Mortgage shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Mortgaged Property remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all of the Mortgaged Property is sold or all of the Indebtedness is paid in full. (k) RIGHT TO PURCHASE. At any sale of any Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall have the right to purchase such Mortgaged Property (or such portion thereof) being sold, and in such case shall have the right to credit against the amount of the bid made therefor (to the extent necessary) all or any portion of the amounts referred to in clauses (a) through (c) of Section 24. (l) RIGHT TO TERMINATE PROCEEDINGS. Mortgagee may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided herein at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in Mortgagee's sole discretion and without prejudice to Mortgagee. (m) JOINT AND SEVERAL GRANTS OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. It is intended that the grants of the Mortgaged Properties contained herein shall each be construed and treated as a separate, distinct grant for the purpose of securing the entire Indebtedness secured hereunder in the same manner as though each of the Mortgaged Property was mortgaged and transferred to Mortgagee by a separate and distinct mortgage and security agreement, so that if it should at any time appear or be held that this Mortgage fails to transfer to Mortgagee the title to or encumber and constitute a lien upon any of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, as against creditors 13 of Mortgagor, other than Mortgagee or otherwise, such failure shall not operate to affect in any way the transfer or encumbrance of the other Mortgaged Property or any part thereof; but nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring the Mortgagee to resort to any Mortgaged Property for the satisfaction of the Indebtedness hereby secured in preference or priority to any other Mortgaged Property or the remainder of the Mortgaged Property here-by conveyed, but Mortgagee may seek satisfaction out of all of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion. (n) CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION. After acceleration of the Indebtedness, and in the event of the foreclosure of this Mortgage as it relates to all or any portion of a Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee shall have the right (at any time after commencement but prior to completion of foreclosure proceedings with respect to any such Mortgaged Property) to commission the conduct of a Phase I Environmental Study (a "PHASE I STUDY") by a duly licensed Environmental Consultant (a "CONSULTANT") with respect to such Mortgaged Property being so foreclosed upon. The right to conduct a Phase I Study shall not include the right to collect soil samples, groundwater samples, or other intrusive environmental testing (collectively, "PHASE II TESTING"), unless the Consultant determines, as a result of the Phase I Study, that such Phase II Testing is necessary to evaluate an environmental condition which could materially adversely affect Mortgagee's security interest in Mortgaged Property or is likely to be in violation of applicable Environmental Law. Mortgagor agrees to bear the actual cost of a Phase I Study relating to its Mortgaged Property, provided that Mortgagor shall only be required to reimburse Mortgagee for no more than the cost of one Phase I Study with respect to each Mortgaged Property, together with one Phase II Testing if recommended by the Consultant after completion of the Phase I Study. (o) OTHER RIGHTS. Mortgagee may pursue against Mortgagor any other rights and remedies of Mortgagee permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. 24. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any sale or foreclosure of any Mortgaged Property shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) to the payment of the costs and expenses of the foreclosure proceedings (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and advertising costs and expenses), liabilities and advances made or incurred under this Mortgage and receivers' and trustees' fees and commissions, together with interest at Post-Default Rate, from and after the date on which such sums are advanced by Mortgagee, (b) to the payment of all sums due under the Credit Agreement and the Notes in such order as described therein, and (d) to the payment of all sums due under any other Loan Document in such order as described in the Credit Agreement, and (e) to the payment of any surplus to the party or parties legally entitled thereto. 25. CHANGES IN THE LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Mortgage which deducts the Indebtedness from the value of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or 14 indirectly, on the Indebtedness or Mortgagee's interest in the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. In the event Mortgagee is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Mortgagor would be unlawful or taxable to Mortgagee or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable; provided, however, that no Prepayment Consideration shall be required solely as a result of a prepayment required by any such declaration. 26. NO CREDITS ON ACCOUNT OF THE INDEBTEDNESS. Mortgagor will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Indebtedness for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Mortgage or the Indebtedness. In the event such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable; provided, however, that no Prepayment Consideration shall be required solely as a result of a prepayment required by any such declaration. 27. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Mortgage, or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Mortgagor will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. 28. BLANKET LIEN. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the blanket lien created by this Mortgage is intended to encumber each Mortgaged Property and all of the Mortgaged Property on a joint and several basis to the full extent of the Indebtedness and the Obligations. An original counterpart of this Mortgage shall be executed by every Mortgagor and recorded in each county where Mortgaged Property is located. 29. RIGHT OF ENTRY. Mortgagee and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Mortgaged Property at all reasonable times. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, such entry and inspection shall not be conducted without prior notice to Mortgagor. 30. REASONABLE USE AND OCCUPANCY. In addition to the rights which Mortgagee may have herein, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Mortgagee, at its option, may require Mortgagor to pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be occupied by Mortgagor, or may require Mortgagor to vacate and surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Mortgagor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. 15 31. SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Mortgage is both a real property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code adopted and enacted by the State of New Jersey (the "UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE"), made by and between Mortgagor, as Debtor, and Mortgagee, as secured party. Mortgagor by executing and delivering this Mortgage has granted and hereby grants to Mortgagee, as security for the Indebtedness, a security interest in the Mortgaged property to the full extent that the Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Mortgaged Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being herein referred to as the "COLLATERAL"). If an Event of Default shall occur, Mortgagee, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it 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 Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee at a convenient place acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and attorney fees, incurred or paid by Mortgagee in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing Mortgagee's rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral sent to Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five (5) days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Mortgagor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Indebtedness in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee in its discretion shall deem proper. 32. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Mortgagee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor, which Mortgagee, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee shall, at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Indebtedness, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Indebtedness. 33. WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIM. Mortgagor hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Mortgagee, and, to the extent permitted by law, waives trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought by either party hereto against the other or in any counterclaim asserted by Mortgagee against Mortgagor, or in any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Mortgage, the Note, any of the other Credit Facility Documents or the Indebtedness. 34. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Mortgagee shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Indebtedness as 16 the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Indebtedness shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Mortgagor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced. 35. MARSHALLING AND OTHER MATTERS. Mortgagor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement, redemption and similar laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Mortgagor hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage on behalf of Mortgagor, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date of this Mortgage and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable law. 36. [Intentionally Deleted] 37. ACCESS LAWS. (a) Mortgagor agrees that the Mortgaged Property shall at all times comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, all similar state and local laws and ordinances related to access and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant thereto including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (collectively the "ACCESS LAWS"). (b) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any other document regarding Mortgagee's approval of alterations of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor shall not alter the Mortgaged Property in any manner which would increase Mortgagor's responsibilities for compliance with the applicable Access Laws without the prior written approval of Mortgagee. The foregoing shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Mortgagor or by any of its tenants. Mortgagee may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of an architect, engineer or other person acceptable to Mortgagee regarding compliance with applicable Access Laws. (c) Mortgagor agrees to give prompt notice to Mortgagee of the receipt by Mortgagor of any complaints related to any violations of any Access Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with applicable Access Laws. 38. INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to any other indemnifications provided herein or in the other Credit Facility Documents, Mortgagor shall protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Mortgagee from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses, fines, costs and expenses (including without limitation 17 reasonable attorney fees and expenses), imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Mortgagee by reason of: (a) ownership of this Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents; (b) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (d) any failure on the part of Mortgagor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Mortgage; (e) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof; (f) the presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance on, from or affecting: (I) the Mortgaged Property; or (II) any other property by reason of any use or ownership of the Mortgaged Property or any action or inaction by Mortgagor; (g) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to any Hazardous Substance; (h) any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government order relating to any Hazardous Substance on, from or affecting: (I) the Mortgaged Property; or (II) any other property by reason of any use or ownership of the Mortgaged Property or any action or inaction by Mortgagor; (i) any violation of the Environmental Laws, which are based upon or in any way related to any Hazardous Substance including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of any remedial action, attorneys and consultants fees, investigation and laboratory fees, court costs, and litigation expenses; and (j) any failure of the Mortgaged Property to comply with any Access Laws, provided that Mortgagor shall not indemnify Mortgagee for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Mortgagee. Any amounts payable to Mortgagee by reason of the application of this indemnification shall be secured by this Mortgage and the other Credit Facility Documents, shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date loss or damage is sustained by Mortgagee until paid. The obligations and liabilities of Mortgagor under this paragraph 38 shall survive any termination, satisfaction or assignment of this Mortgage and the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. 39.

SOLE DISCRETION OF MORTGAGEE. Wherever pursuant to this Mortgage, Mortgagee exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Mortgagee, the decision of Mortgagee to approve or disapprove or to decide that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Mortgagee and shall be final and conclusive, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall exercise such discretion in a commercially reasonable manner. 19 44. NONWAIVER. The failure of Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Mortgage. Mortgagor shall not be relieved of Mortgagor's obligations hereunder by reason of: (a) the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request of Mortgagor or any Guarantor to take any action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof, of the Note or the Other Credit Facility Documents; (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or of any person liable for the Indebtedness or any portion thereof; or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Mortgagee extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Mortgage or the other Credit Facility Documents. Mortgagee may resort for the payment of the Indebtedness to any other security held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee, in its discretion, may elect. Mortgagee may take action to recover the Indebtedness, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to foreclose this Mortgage. The rights and remedies of Mortgagee under this Mortgage and the other Credit Facility Documents shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Mortgagee 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. 45. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Mortgage, and any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Mortgagor or Mortgagee, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. 46. LIABILITY. If Mortgagor consists of more than one person, the obligations and liabilities of each such person hereunder shall be joint and several. This Mortgage shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Mortgagor and Mortgagee and their respective successors and assigns forever. 47. INAPPLICABLE PROVISIONS.
