AMENDED, RESTATED AND CONSOLIDATED MORTGAGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT







THIS AMENDED, RESTATED AND CONSOLIDATED MORTGAGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Instrument”) is made as of January 15, 2010, by MACK-CALI REALTY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, having its principal office and place of business at c/o Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, 343 Thornall Street, Edison, New Jersey  08837, as mortgagor (“Borrower”), to THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA, a New Jersey corporation (“Prudential”), and VPCM, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“VPCM”), having an office at c/o Prudential Asset Resources, Inc., 2100 Ross Avenue, Suite 2500, Dallas, Texas  75201, Attention:  Asset Management Department;  Reference Loan No. 706 108 239 and 706 108 269, as mortgagee (collectively, “Lender”).







W I T N E S S E T H:







WHEREAS, Borrower is the owner of a leasehold interest in certain property lying and being in Bergen County, New Jersey, and being more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”) and known as Mack-Cali Centre IV; and







WHEREAS, Borrower is the maker of that certain Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated as of November 12, 2004 in the original principal amount of Fifteen Million Seven Hundred Seventy Six Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($15,776,000.00) and payable to the order of Prudential, and of that certain Supplemental Promissory Note dated as of November 12, 2004 in the original principal amount of Five Million Twenty Four Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,024,000.00) and payable to the order of Prudential (collectively, the “Existing Note”; the loan evidenced by the Existing Note is herein referred to as the “Existing Loan”); and







WHEREAS, the Existing Note and Existing Loan are secured by a certain Mortgage and Security Agreement dated as of April 30, 1998 from Borrower in favor of Prudential, recorded in Mortgage Book 9690, Page 419, in the real estate records of Bergen County, New Jersey, covering the Property, as amended by that certain Modification of Mortgage and Security Agreement and Assignment of Leases and Rents dated as of November 12, 2004 between Borrower and Prudential, recorded in Mortgage Release Book 1014, Page 620, and by a certain Supplemental Mortgage and Security Agreement dated as of November 12, 2004 from Borrower in favor of Prudential, recorded in Mortgage Book 13989, Page 618, in the real estate records of Bergen County, New Jersey, covering the Property (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Existing Security Instrument”), which Existing Security Instrument is incorporated herein by this reference; and







WHEREAS, Prudential and Borrower and affiliates of Borrower entered into that certain Amended and Restated Master Loan Agreement dated as of November 12, 2004 (the “Existing Loan Agreement”) relating to seven (7) cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted loans in the aggregate original principal amount of $150,000,000.00 (the “Existing Loans”), including the Existing Loan evidenced by the Existing Note, which other loans (other than the Existing Loan evidenced by the Existing Note) are guaranteed by Borrower pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Irrevocable Cross-Collateral Guaranty of Payment and Performance dated as of November 12, 2004 made by Borrower in favor of Prudential (the “Existing Cross-Collateral Guaranty”).







WHEREAS, the Existing Cross-Collateral Guaranty is secured by a certain Second Priority Mortgage and Security Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Cross-Collateral Mortgage”) dated as of April 30, 1998 from Borrower in favor of Prudential, recorded in Mortgage Book 9690, Page 487, in the real estate records of Bergen County, New Jersey, covering the Property, as amended by that certain Modification of Second Priority Mortgage and Security Agreement dated as of November 12, 2004 between Borrower and Prudential, recorded in Mortgage Release Book 1014, Page 638, which Cross-Collateral Mortgage is incorporated herein by this reference; and


 


 




  





  











  






 




 


WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Prudential has assigned to VPCM a one half interest in and to the Existing Loans, Existing Note, Existing Security Instrument, Existing Loan Agreement, Existing Cross-Collateral Guaranty, Cross-Collateral Mortgage and the other documents that further evidence or secure the indebtedness evidenced and secured thereby, so that Prudential and VPCM shall be co-lenders with respect to such indebtedness; and







WHEREAS, Borrower and affiliates of Borrower have of even date herewith executed and delivered to Lender an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) relating to the refinance of the seven (7) cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted Existing Loans under the Existing Loan Agreement, to amend and restate the terms thereof, and to re-allocate the loan amounts among the seven (7) cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted Existing Loans representing additional advances to certain borrowers under the Loan Agreement and corresponding reductions of loan amounts to other borrowers under the Loan Agreement (such Existing Loans as so amended are herein referred to as the “Amended Loans”); and







WHEREAS, in accordance with the Loan Agreement, Borrower has of even date herewith executed and delivered to Lender an Amended, Restated and Consolidated Promissory Note in favor of Prudential in the original principal amount of Twelve Million Two Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Six and 64/100 Dollars ($12,266,666.64) and an Amended, Restated and Consolidated Promissory Note in favor of VPCM in the original principal amount of Ten Million Seven Hundred Thirty Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty Three and 36/100 Dollars ($10,733,333.36) (collectively, the “Amended Note”), by which the Existing Note has been amended, restated and modified to reflect an indebtedness in the original principal amount of TWENTY THREE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($23,000,000.00); the Amended Note constitutes a modification, extension and renewal of the Existing Note and reflects the extension to Borrower of additional indebtedness in the principal amount of $2,200,000.00, which amount reflects a reallocation of the loan amounts from among certain of the other six (6) cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted loans governed by the Existing Loan Agreement and represents an additional advance to Borrower, but a corresponding reduction in the liability of Borrower under the Cross-Collateral Mortgage, as amended and restated of even date herewith; and







WHEREAS, the Amended Note and the loan evidenced thereby are secured by all of the collateral that secures the Existing Note, including, but not limited to, the Existing Security Instrument and the other documents that evidence or secure the indebtedness secured thereby (the “Documents”), but the Amended Note is not secured by the Amended Cross-Collateral Mortgage (as hereinafter defined); and







WHEREAS, in addition, Borrower has of even date herewith executed and delivered to Lender an Amended and Restated Irrevocable Cross-Collateral Guaranty of Payment and Performance (the “Amended Cross-Collateral Guaranty”), by which the Existing Cross-Collateral Guaranty has been modified, amended and restated to reflect the guaranty of the Amended Loans (excluding the Amended Loan evidenced by the Amended Note secured hereby), and in connection therewith, Borrower has of even date herewith executed and delivered to Lender an Amended, Restated and Consolidated Second Priority Mortgage and Security Agreement (Subordinate Mortgage to Secure Cross Collateral Guaranty) (the “Amended Cross-Collateral Mortgage”); and

II.           Priority.  Nothing in the provisions of this Instrument shall be deemed in any way to affect the priority of the Existing Security Instrument over any other security title, security instrument, charge, encumbrance or conveyance, or to release or change the liability of any person who is now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable under or on account of the Existing Note.







III.           Ratification and Confirmation, as Amended.  As amended hereby, the Existing Security Instrument shall remain in full force and effect, provided, however, that all of terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, warranties, representations and other terms and provisions thereof are hereby consolidated, amended and restated as set forth herein.







IV.           No Offsets, etc.  Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Lender that there are no offsets, claim, counterclaims or defenses at law or in equity against the Existing Loan, the debt evidenced by the Amended Note, this Instrument, the Existing Security Instrument, the Documents or the indebtedness secured thereby, and if any such offset, defense, claim or counterclaim in fact exists, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to assert such matter at any time and releases Lender from any and all liability with respect thereto.







V.           Modification.  All of the terms and provisions of the Existing Security Instrument are hereby modified and restated in their entirety as set forth herein, including the forgoing provisions and the following recitals, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements:

In addition to any other requirements, such commercial general liability and excess/umbrella liability insurance shall provide insurance against acts of terrorism and against claims applicable to the presence of Microbial Matter, or such coverages shall be provided by separate policies or endorsements.  The insurance policies shall also include operations and blanket contractual liability coverage which insures contractual liability under the indemnifications set forth in Section 8.02 below (but such coverage or the amount thereof shall in no way limit such indemnifications).  Upon request, Borrower shall also carry additional insurance or additional amounts of insurance covering Borrower or the Property as Lender shall reasonably require.







(c)           Form of Policy.  All insurance required under this Section shall be fully paid for, non-assessable, and the policies shall contain such provisions, endorsements, and expiration dates as Lender shall reasonably require.  The policies shall be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the Property State, approved by Lender, and must have and maintain a current financial strength rating of “A-, X” (or higher) from A.M. Best or equivalent (or if a rating by A.M. Best is no longer available, a similar rating from a similar or successor service).  In addition, all policies shall (i) include a standard mortgagee clause, without contribution, in the name of Lender, (ii) provide that they shall not be canceled, amended, or materially altered (including reduction in the scope or limits of coverage) without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender except in the event of cancellation for non-payment of premium, in which case only ten (10) days’ prior written notice will be given to Lender, and (iii) include a waiver of subrogation clause.  The property insurance waiver of subrogation clause shall be substantially equivalent to the following: “The Company may require from the Insured an assignment of all rights of recovery against any party for loss to the extent that payment therefor is made by the Company, but the Company shall not acquire any rights of recovery which the Insured has expressly waived prior to loss, nor shall such waiver affect the Insured’s rights under this policy”.  The liability insurance waiver of subrogation clause shall be substantially equivalent to the following: “It is agreed that the insurance company, in the event of a payment under this policy, waives its right of subrogation against any principal where a waiver has been included as part of a contractual undertaking by the insured prior to the occurrence or offense”.

(d)           Original Policies and Renewals.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender (i) original or certified copies of all policies (and renewals) required under this Section and (ii) receipts evidencing payment of all premiums on such policies at least thirty (30) days prior to their expiration.  If original and renewal policies are unavailable or if coverage is under a blanket policy, Borrower shall deliver duplicate originals, or, if unavailable, original ACORD 28 (2003/10) and ACORD 25-S certificates (or equivalent certificates) evidencing that such policies are in full force and effect together with certified copies of the original policies.  Without limiting Lender’s other rights with respect to the foregoing obligations, if, within fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the current applicable policy, Lender has not received the foregoing items in form and substance acceptable to Lender (as being in compliance with the terms of this Instrument), Lender may retain a commercial property insurance consultant to assist Lender in obtaining adequate evidence that the required insurance coverage is in effect, and Borrower shall (i) cooperate with such consultant in confirming that adequate evidence that the required insurance coverage is in effect, and (ii) pay all of the costs and expenses of such consultant (not to exceed $700 in any calendar year).







(e)           General Provisions.  Borrower shall not carry separate or additional insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required under this Section unless endorsed in favor of Lender as per this Section and approved by Lender in all respects.  In the event of foreclosure of this Instrument or other transfer of title or assignment of the Property in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Obligations, all right, title, and interest of Borrower in and to all policies of insurance then in force regarding the Property (applicable only to the Property, and not to any other properties covered by such blanket policies that are not encumbered by a mortgage held by Lender) and all proceeds payable thereunder and unearned premiums thereon shall immediately vest in the purchaser or other transferee of the Property.  No approval by Lender of any insurer shall be construed to be a representation, certification, or warranty of its solvency.  No approval by Lender as to the amount, type, or form of any insurance shall be construed to be a representation, certification, or warranty of its sufficiency.  Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements and shall not cause or permit any condition to exist which would be prohibited by any insurance requirement or would invalidate the insurance coverage on the Property.







(f)           Waiver of Subrogation.  A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by Borrower from its insurers and, consequently, Borrower for itself, and on behalf of its insurers, hereby waives and releases any and all right to claim or recover against Lender, its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for any loss of or damage to Borrower, other Persons, the Property, Borrower’s property or the property of other Persons from any cause required to be insured against by the provisions of this Instrument or otherwise insured against by Borrower.

Section 3.07                      Damage and Destruction of Property.







(a)           Borrower’s Obligations.  If any damage to, loss, or destruction of the Property occurs (any “Damage”), (i) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender and take all necessary steps to preserve any undamaged part of the Property and (ii) if the insurance proceeds are made available for Restoration (defined below) (but regardless of whether any proceeds are sufficient for Restoration), Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently pursue to completion the restoration, replacement, and rebuilding of the Property as nearly as possible to its value and condition immediately prior to the Damage or a Taking (defined below) in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Lender (“Restoration”).  Borrower shall comply with other reasonable requirements established by Lender to preserve the security under this Instrument.







(b)           Lender’s Rights.  If any Damage occurs and some or all of it is covered by insurance, then (i) Lender may, but is not obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower and Lender is authorized and empowered by Borrower to settle, adjust, or compromise any claims for the Damage [notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection (b)(i), so long as no Event of Default (or event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would be an Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing at any time during such settlement, adjustment or compromise, Lender shall provide Borrower with written notice of any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim made solely by Lender];  (ii) each insurance company concerned is authorized and directed to make payment directly to Lender for the Damage;  and (iii) Lender may apply the insurance proceeds in any order it determines (1) to reimburse Lender for all Costs (defined below) related to collection of the proceeds and (2) subject to Section 3.07(c) and at Lender’s option, to (A) payment (without any Prepayment Premium) of all or part of the Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, in the order determined by Lender (provided that if any Obligations remain outstanding after this payment, the unpaid Obligations shall continue in full force and effect and Borrower shall not be excused in the payment thereof);  (B) the cure of any default under the Documents;  or (C) the Restoration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there shall then be no Event of Default (or event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would be an Event of Default), Borrower shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise any claim for Damage if the total amount of such claim is less than $230,000.00 (the “Borrower Claim Threshold”), provided, that, Borrower promptly uses the full amount of such insurance proceeds for Restoration of the Damage and provides evidence thereof to Lender in a manner acceptable to Lender.  Any insurance proceeds held by Lender shall be held without the payment of interest thereon.  If Borrower receives any insurance proceeds for the Damage, Borrower shall promptly deliver the proceeds to Lender.  Notwithstanding anything in this Instrument or at law or in equity to the contrary, none of the insurance proceeds paid to Lender shall be deemed trust funds and Lender may dispose of these proceeds as provided in this Section.  Borrower expressly assumes all risk of loss from any Damage, whether or not insurable or insured against.







(c)           Application of Proceeds to Restoration.  Notwithstanding the following provisions of this subsection (c), so long as no Event of Default (or event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would be an Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing, if the amount of the Damage is in an amount that is less than the Borrower Claim Threshold, such insurance proceeds shall be paid directly to Borrower and used by Borrower to repair and restore the Property, provided that Borrower shall use such funds to repair and restore the Property, and shall provide Lender with such information and reports with respect thereto as Lender may require.  Lender shall make the Net Proceeds (defined below) available to Borrower for Restoration if: (i) there shall then be no Event of Default;  (ii) Lender shall be satisfied that (A) Restoration can and will be completed within one (1) year after the Damage occurs and at least one (1) year prior to the maturity of the Note and (B) Leases which are terminated or terminable as a result of the Damage cover an aggregate of less than ten percent (10%) of the total rentable square footage contained in the Property at the closing of the Loan or such Tenants agree in writing to continue their Leases;  (iii) Borrower shall have entered into a general construction contract acceptable in all respects to Lender for Restoration, which contract must include provision for retainage of not less than ten percent (10%) until final completion of the Restoration;  and (iv) in Lender’s reasonable judgment, after Restoration has been completed the net cash flow of the Property will be sufficient to cover all costs and operating expenses of the Property, including payments due and reserves required under the Documents.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Instrument to the contrary, Lender shall not be obligated to make any portion of the Net Proceeds available for Restoration (whether as a result of Damage or a Taking) unless, at the time of the disbursement request, Lender has determined in its reasonable discretion that (y) Restoration can be completed at a cost which does not exceed the aggregate of the remaining Net Proceeds and any funds deposited with Lender by Borrower (“Additional Funds”) and (z) the aggregate of any loss of rental income insurance proceeds which the carrier has acknowledged to be payable (“Rent Loss Proceeds”) and any funds deposited with Lender by Borrower are sufficient to cover all costs and operating expenses of the Property, including payments due and reserves required under the Documents.

(d)           Disbursement of Proceeds.  If Lender elects or is required to make insurance proceeds or the Award (defined below), as the case may be, available for Restoration, Lender shall, through a disbursement procedure established by Lender, periodically make available to Borrower in installments the net amount of all insurance proceeds or the Award, as the case may be, received by Lender after deduction of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the collection and disbursement of such proceeds (“Net Proceeds”) and, if any, the Additional Funds;  subject to receipt of the documentation required by such disbursement procedure and subject to a minimum draw amount to be determined by Lender and Borrower, Lender shall make such disbursements available on a monthly basis.  The amounts periodically disbursed to Borrower shall be based upon the amounts currently due under the construction contract for Restoration and Lender’s receipt of (i) appropriate lien waivers, (ii) a certification of the percentage of Restoration completed by an architect or engineer acceptable to Lender, and (iii) title insurance protection against materialmen’s and mechanic’s liens.  At Lender’s election, a disbursing agent selected by Lender shall disburse such funds, and Borrower shall pay such agent’s reasonable fees and expenses.  The Net Proceeds, Rent Loss Proceeds, and any Additional Funds shall constitute additional security for the Loan and Borrower shall execute, deliver, file and/or record, at its expense, such instruments as Lender requires to grant to Lender a perfected, first-priority security interest in these funds.  If the Net Proceeds are made available for Restoration and (x) Borrower refuses or fails to complete the Restoration, (y) an Event of Default occurs, or (z) the Net Proceeds or Additional Funds are not applied to Restoration, then any undisbursed portion may, at Lender’s option, be applied to the Obligations in any order of priority, and any such application to principal shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment subject to the Prepayment Premium.







Section 3.08                      Condemnation.







(a)           Borrower’s Obligations.  Borrower will promptly notify Lender of any threatened or instituted proceedings for the condemnation or taking by eminent domain of the Property including any change in any street (whether as to grade, access, or otherwise) (a “Taking”).  Borrower shall, at its expense, (i) diligently prosecute these proceedings, (ii) deliver to Lender copies of all papers served in connection therewith, and (iii) consult and cooperate with Lender in the handling of these proceedings.  No settlement of these proceedings shall be made by Borrower without Lender’s prior written consent.  Lender may participate in these proceedings (but shall not be obligated to do so) and Borrower will sign and deliver all instruments requested by Lender to permit this participation.



 


 




  





16











  






 











(b)           Lender’s Rights to Proceeds.  All condemnation awards, judgments, decrees, or proceeds of sale in lieu of condemnation (“Award”) are assigned and shall be paid to Lender.  Borrower authorizes Lender to collect and receive them, to give receipts for them, to accept them in the amount received without question or appeal, and/or to appeal any judgment, decree, or award.  Borrower will sign and deliver all instruments requested by Lender to permit these actions.







(c)           Application of Award.  Lender may apply any Award in any order it determines (1) to reimburse Lender for all Costs related to collection of the Award and (2) subject to Section 3.08(d) and at Lender’s option, to (A) payment (without any Prepayment Premium) of all or part of the Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, in the order determined by Lender (provided that if any Obligations remain outstanding after this payment, the unpaid Obligations shall continue in full force and effect and Borrower shall not be excused in the payment thereof); (B) the cure of any default under the Documents; or (C) the Restoration.  If Borrower receives any Award, Borrower shall promptly deliver such Award to Lender.  Notwithstanding anything in this Instrument or at law or in equity to the contrary, none of the Award paid to Lender shall be deemed trust funds and Lender may dispose of these proceeds as provided in this Section.







(d)           Application of Award to Restoration.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth hereinabove, Lender shall permit the application of the Award to Restoration if:  (i) no more than (A) twenty percent (20%) of the gross area of the Improvements or (B) ten percent (10%) of the parking spaces is affected by the Taking, (ii) the amount of the loss does not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the original amount of the Note; (iii) the Taking does not affect access to the Property from any public right-of-way; (iv) there is no Event of Default at the time of the Taking or the application of the Award; (v) after Restoration, the Property and its use will be in compliance with all Laws; (vi) in Lender’s reasonable judgment, Restoration is practical and can be completed within one (1) year after the Taking and at least one (1) year prior to the maturity of the Note; (vii) the Tenants listed in Exhibit D (“Major Tenants”) agree in writing to continue their Leases without abatement of rent; (viii) Borrower shall have entered into a general construction contract acceptable in all respects to Lender for Restoration, which contract must include provision for retainage of not less than ten percent (10%) until final completion of the Restoration; and (ix) in Lender’s reasonable judgment, after Restoration has been completed the net cash flow of the Property will be sufficient to cover all costs and operating expenses of the Property, including payments due and reserves required under the Documents.  Any portion of the Award that is in excess of the cost of any Restoration permitted above, may, in Lender’s sole discretion, be applied against the Obligations or paid to Borrower.  If the Award is disbursed to Borrower under the provisions of this Section 3.08(d), then such Award shall be disbursed to Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.07(d).







(e)           Effect on the Obligations.  Notwithstanding any Taking, Borrower shall continue to pay and perform the Obligations as provided in the Documents.  Any reduction in the Obligations due to application of the Award shall take effect only upon Lender’s actual receipt and application of the Award to the Obligations.  If the Property shall have been foreclosed, sold pursuant to any power of sale granted hereunder, or transferred by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure prior to Lender’s actual receipt of the Award, Lender may apply the Award received to the extent of any deficiency upon such sale and Costs incurred by Lender in connection with such sale.







Section 3.09                      Liens and Liabilities.  Borrower shall pay when due all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for any work performed or materials delivered for the Property or the Improvements (collectively, “Property Payables”); provided, however, Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith any such claim or demand, so long as it does so diligently, by appropriate proceedings and without prejudice to Lender and provided that neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of sale, loss or forfeiture as a result of such proceeding or contest.  In the event that a mechanic’s or materialman's lien or similar proceeding is filed against the Property, or a claim is filed against Borrower or any Recourse Parties, and Borrower shall contest such lien, proceeding or claim, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such contest and thereafter shall, upon Lender’s request, promptly provide a bond, cash deposit or other security satisfactory to Lender to protect Lender’s interest and security should the contest be unsuccessful.  If Borrower shall fail to immediately discharge or provide security against any such lien, proceeding or claim as aforesaid, Lender may do so and any and all expenses incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date advanced by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Instrument and by all other Documents securing all or any part of the Obligations.  Nothing in the Documents shall be deemed or construed as constituting the consent or request by Lender, express or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, mechanic or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any material for any improvement, construction, alteration, or repair of the Property.  Borrower further agrees that Lender does not stand in any fiduciary relationship to Borrower.  Any contributions made, directly or indirectly, to Borrower by or on behalf of any of its partners, members, principals or any party related to such parties shall be treated as equity and shall be subordinate and inferior to the rights of Lender under the Documents.

Section 3.10                      Tax and Insurance Deposits.  At Lender’s option (exercisable only (i) if the Debt Service Coverage (as defined in the Loan Agreement) as to all Properties (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be less than 1.75 to 1.00, or (ii) there shall be an Event of Default under the Documents, or (iii) in the event that Borrower fails to timely deliver to Lender evidence of payment of Assessments or insurance premiums as required by Section 3.03(a) and Section 3.06(d), respectively), Borrower shall make monthly deposits (“Deposits”) with Lender equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual Assessments (except for income taxes, franchise taxes, ground rents, maintenance charges and utility charges) and the premiums for insurance required under Section 3.06 (the “Insurance Premiums”) together with amounts sufficient to pay these items thirty (30) days before they are due (collectively, the “Impositions”).  Lender shall estimate the amount of the Deposits until ascertainable.  At that time, Borrower shall promptly deposit any deficiency.  Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of the Impositions.  Borrower authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Assessments directly from the appropriate tax or governmental authority.  All Deposits are pledged to Lender and shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.  The Deposits shall be held by Lender without interest (except to the extent required under Laws) and may be commingled with other funds.  If (i) there is no Event of Default at the time of payment, (ii) Borrower has delivered bills or invoices to Lender for the Impositions in sufficient time to pay them when due, and (iii) the Deposits are sufficient to pay the Impositions or Borrower has deposited the necessary additional amount, then Lender shall pay the Impositions prior to their due date.  Any Deposits remaining after payment of the Impositions shall, at Lender’s option, be credited against the Deposits required for the following year or paid to Borrower.  If an Event of Default occurs, the Deposits may, at Lender’s option, be applied to the Obligations in any order of priority.  Any application to principal shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment subject to the Prepayment Premium.  Borrower shall not claim any credit against the principal and interest due under the Note for the Deposits.  Upon an assignment or other transfer of this Instrument, Lender may pay over the Deposits in its possession to the assignee or transferee and then it shall be completely released from all liability with respect to the Deposits.  Borrower shall look solely to the assignee or transferee with respect thereto.  This provision shall apply to every transfer of the Deposits to a new assignee or transferee.  Subject to Article V, a transfer of title to the Land shall automatically transfer to the new owner the beneficial interest in the Deposits.  Upon full payment and satisfaction of this Instrument or, at Lender’s option, at any prior time, the balance of the Deposits in Lender’s possession shall be paid over to the record owner of the Land and no other party shall have any right or claim to the Deposits.  Lender may transfer all its duties under this Section to such servicer or financial institution as Lender may periodically designate and Borrower agrees to make the Deposits to such servicer or institution.

Section 3.11                      ERISA.







(a)           Borrower understands and acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, the source of funds from which Lender is extending the Loan will include one or more of the following accounts: (i) an “insurance company general account,” as that term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTE”) 95-60 (60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (Jul. 12, 1995)), as to which Lender meets the conditions for relief in Sections I and IV of PTE 95-60; (ii) pooled and single client insurance company separate accounts, which are subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”); and (iii) one or more insurance company separate accounts maintained solely in connection with fixed contractual obligations of the insurance company, under which the amounts payable or credited to the plan are not affected in any manner by the investment performance of the separate account.







(b)           Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that (i) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) Borrower is not a “party in interest”, as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA, other than as a service provider or an affiliate of a service provider, to any employee benefit plan that has invested in a separate account described in Section 3.11(a)(ii) above, from which funds have been derived to make the Loan, or if so, the execution of the Documents and making of the Loan thereunder do not constitute nonexempt prohibited transactions under ERISA; (iii) Borrower is not subject to state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans, or if subject to such statutes, is not in violation thereof in the execution of the Documents and the making of the Loan thereunder; (iv) the assets of Borrower do not constitute “plan assets” of one or more plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101; and (v) one or more of the following circumstances is true:  (1) equity interests in Borrower are publicly offered securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(b)(2); (2) less than twenty-five percent (25%) of all equity interests in Borrower are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(f)(2); or (3) Borrower qualifies as an “operating company,” a “venture capital operating company” or a “real estate operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(c), (d) or (e), respectively.







(c)           Borrower shall deliver to Lender such certifications and/or other evidence periodically requested by Lender, in its sole discretion, to verify the representations and warranties in Section 3.11(b) above.  Failure to deliver these certifications or evidence, breach of these representations and warranties, or consummation of any transaction which would cause this Instrument or any exercise of Lender’s rights under this Instrument to (i) constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or (ii) violate ERISA or any state statute regulating governmental plans (collectively, a “Violation”), shall be an Event of Default.  Notwithstanding anything in the Documents to the contrary, no sale, assignment, or transfer of any direct or indirect right, title, or interest in Borrower or the Property (including creation of a junior lien, encumbrance or leasehold interest) shall be permitted which would, in Lender’s opinion, negate Borrower’s representations in this Section or cause a Violation.  At least fifteen (15) days before consummation of any of the foregoing, Borrower shall obtain from the proposed transferee or lienholder (i) a certification to Lender that the representations and warranties of this Section 3.11 will be true after consummation and (ii) an agreement to comply with this Section 3.11.







Section 3.12                      Environmental Representations, Warranties, and Covenants .







(a)           Environmental Representations and Warranties.  Borrower represents and warrants, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge (after due inquiry and investigation, consisting of the Borrower's existing environmental reports with respect to the Property as delivered to Lender) and additionally based upon the environmental site assessment reports of the Property (collectively, the “Environmental Report”), that except as fully disclosed in the Environmental Report delivered to and approved by Lender:  (i) there are no Hazardous Materials (defined below) or underground storage tanks affecting the Property (“affecting the Property” shall mean “in, on, under, stored, used or migrating to or from the Property”) except for (A) routine office, cleaning, janitorial, maintenance and other materials and supplies necessary to operate the Property or used in connection with general office uses for its current use (or relating to historic uses disclosed in the Environmental Report) and (B) Hazardous Materials that are (1) in compliance with Environmental Laws (defined below), (2) have all required permits, and (3) are in only the amounts necessary to operate the Property or necessary in connection with the general office uses of any Tenant at the Property;  (ii) there are no present or threatened Releases (defined below) of Hazardous Materials in violation of any Environmental Law affecting the Property (and no past Releases of Hazardous Materials in material violation of any Environmental Law affecting the Property);  (iii) there is no present non-compliance with Environmental Laws or with permits issued pursuant thereto (and no past material non-compliance with Environmental Laws or with permits issued pursuant thereto);  (iv) Borrower does not know of, and has not received, any written or oral notice or communication from any person relating to Hazardous Materials affecting the Property in violation of Environmental Laws;  and (v) Borrower has provided to Lender, in writing, all material information relating to environmental conditions affecting the Property known to Borrower or contained in Borrower’s files.  “Environmental Law” means any present and future federal, state and local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, standards, policies and other government directives or requirements, as well as common law, that apply to Borrower or the Property and relate to Hazardous Materials including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.  “Hazardous Materials” shall mean petroleum and petroleum products and compounds containing them, including gasoline, diesel fuel and oil;  explosives, flammable materials;  radioactive materials;  polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) and compounds containing them;  lead and lead-based paint; Microbial Matter, infectious substances, asbestos or asbestos-containing materials in any form that is or could become friable;  underground or above-ground storage tanks, whether empty or containing any substance;  any substance the presence of which on the Property is prohibited by any federal, state or local authority;  any substance that requires special handling;  and any other material or substance now or in the future defined as a “hazardous substance,” “hazardous material”, “hazardous waste”, “toxic substance”, “toxic pollutant”, “contaminant”, or “pollutant” within the meaning of any Environmental Law.  “Release” of any Hazardous Materials includes any release, deposit, discharge, emission, leaking, spilling, seeping, migrating, pumping, pouring, escaping, dumping, disposing or other movement of Hazardous Materials.  “Microbial Matter” shall mean the presence of fungi or bacterial matter which reproduces through the release of spores or the splitting of cells, including, but not limited to, mold, mildew and viruses, whether or not such Microbial Matter is living.

Section 3.15                      Records, Reports, and Audits.







(a)           Records and Reports.  Borrower shall maintain, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), complete and accurate books and records with respect to all operations of or transactions involving the Property.  Borrower shall furnish Lender (i) annual financial statements for the Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “REIT Corporation”), and Lender agrees that as to annual financial statements for the REIT Corporation, delivery to Lender within thirty (30) days after filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) all financial reports to be filed by the REIT Corporation, Mack—Cali Realty, L.P. (together with any partnership which is hereafter the operating partnership for the REIT Corporation, the “Operating Partnership”) and their subsidiaries with the SEC, including all 10Q, 10K and 8K reports, shall be acceptable, and (ii) annual operating statements for the Property [and Lender agrees that as to operating statements for the Property, the unaudited consolidating financial statement schedule of all individual property operations of the REIT Corporation and the Operating Partnership, or that portion of such financial statement schedule relating to the Property, in the format set forth in the Loan Agreement shall be acceptable] prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and certified by an authorized person, partner or official, together with such additional information as Lender may reasonably request.  Borrower shall furnish Lender annual financial statements for any Major Tenants which are not publicly traded companies (including those listed in the Loan Agreement), and, upon written request of Lender, with respect to any other Major Tenants, in each case to the extent Borrower has the right to obtain such statements under the applicable Lease (and Borrower agrees that Borrower will pursue obtaining such statements actively and diligently), together with such additional information as Lender may reasonably request.  As to financial statements of such tenants (a “Tenant Statement”), in the event of any failure of Borrower to deliver a Tenant Statement, the $500.00 per month per statement late fee owing with respect to late financial statements as set forth below shall increase after any 12 months of delinquency as to any such Tenant Statement by an additional $250 per month per statement ($750 for months 13 through 24, $1000 for months 24 through 36, and so on).  Without limiting the obligation to pay the late fees as set forth in the preceding sentence, Lender shall have the right to deliver to Borrower a notice of default from Lender under this Instrument and the Documents for Borrower's failure to obtain and deliver a Tenant Statement for any month when any such Tenant Statement remains outstanding, provided, however, that Borrower shall be entitled to cure such failure either by the delivery of such Tenant Statement within thirty (30) days after such notice (in which event the underlying failure shall be cured) from Lender or by the delivery to such tenant within thirty (30) days after such notice from Lender of written notice (a “Tenant Default Notice”) of such tenant's default under the terms of tenant's lease (in which event the underlying failure shall not be cured but the failure shall not ripen into an Event of Default hereunder unless in a succeeding month a new notice of default is sent by Lender to Borrower and Borrower thereafter fails to so cure such default) (and provided, further, however, that Lender agrees that Borrower shall not be obligated to terminate a tenant's lease solely on account of such failure of such tenant to comply with such obligation), and Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of all correspondence received by or sent by or on behalf of Borrower or its agents with respect to such Tenant Statements.







           (b)           Delivery of Reports.  All of the reports, statements, and items required under this Section shall be (i) certified as being true, correct, and accurate by an authorized person, partner, or officer of the delivering party or, at the deliverer’s option, audited by a Certified Public Accountant; (ii) prepared in accordance with GAAP and satisfactory to Lender in form and substance; and (iii) delivered within the deadlines set forth above.  If any one report, statement, or item is not received by Lender on its due date, a late fee of Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($500.00) per month shall be due and payable by Borrower.  If any one report, statement, or item is not received within thirty (30) days after written notice from Lender to Borrower that such report, statement or items was not received by its due date, Lender may immediately declare an Event of Default under the Documents.  Borrower shall (i) provide Lender with such additional financial, management, or other information regarding Borrower, any general partner of Borrower, or the Property, as Lender may reasonably request (including, but not limited to, copies of statements from the Clearing Bank, as defined in that certain Cash Management Agreement between Borrower and Lender of even date herewith, with respect to collections in each of the accounts comprising Property Account A, as defined in such Cash Management Agreement), and (ii) upon Lender’s request, deliver all items required by Section 3.15 in an electronic format (i.e. on computer disks) or by electronic transmission acceptable to Lender.

(c)           Inspection of Records.  Borrower shall allow Lender or any person designated by Lender to examine, audit, and make copies of all such books and records and all supporting data at the place where these items are located at all reasonable times after reasonable advance notice;  provided that no notice shall be required after any default under the Documents.  Borrower shall assist Lender in effecting such examination.  Upon five (5) days’ prior notice, Lender may inspect and make copies of Borrower’s or any general partner of Borrower’s income tax returns with respect to the Property for the purpose of verifying any items referenced in this Section.







Section 3.16                      Borrower’s Certificates. Within fifteen (15) days after Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish a written certification to Lender and any Investors (defined below) as to (a) the amount of the Obligations outstanding;  (b) the interest rate, terms of payment, and maturity date of the Note;  (c) the date to which payments have been paid under the Note;  (d) whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Obligations and a detailed description of any listed;  (e) whether all Leases are in full force and effect and have not been modified (or if modified, setting forth all modifications);  (f) the date to which the Rents have been paid;  (g) whether, to the best knowledge of Borrower, any defaults exist under the Leases and a detailed description of any listed;  (h) the security deposit held by Borrower under each Lease and that such amount is the amount required under such Lease;  (i) whether there are any defaults (or events which with the passage of time and/or giving of notice would constitute a default) under the Documents and a detailed description of any listed;  (j) whether the Documents are in full force and effect;  and (k) any other matters reasonably requested by Lender related to the Leases, the Obligations, the Property, or the Documents.  For all non-residential properties and promptly upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall use its best efforts to deliver a written certification to Lender and  Investors from Tenants specified by Lender that:  (a) their Leases are in full force and effect;  (b) there are no defaults (or events which with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute a default) under their Leases or, if any exist, a detailed description of any listed;  (c) none of the Rents have been paid more than one month in advance;  (d) there are no offsets or defenses against the Rents or, if any exist,  a detailed description of any listed;  and (e) any other matters reasonably requested by Lender related to the Leases;  provided, however, that Borrower shall not have to pay money to a Tenant to obtain such certification, but it will deliver a landlord’s certification for any certification it cannot obtain.







Section 3.17                      Full Performance Required;  Survival of Warranties.  All representations and warranties of Borrower in the Loan application or made in connection with the Loan shall survive the execution and delivery of the Documents and Borrower shall not perform any action, or permit any action to be performed, which would cause any of the warranties and representations of Borrower to become untrue in any manner, except for such actions as may be expressly permitted by the terms and conditions of this Instrument or any of the other Documents.







Section 3.18                      Additional Security.  No other security now existing or taken later to secure the Obligations shall be affected by the execution of the Documents and all additional security shall be held as cumulative.  The taking of additional security, execution of partial releases, or extension of the time for the payment obligations of Borrower shall not diminish the effect and lien of this Instrument and shall not affect the liability or obligations of any maker or guarantor.  Neither the acceptance of the Documents nor their enforcement shall prejudice or affect Lender’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or later held by Lender.  Lender may enforce the Documents or any other security in such order and manner as it may determine in its discretion.

Section 3.19                      Further Acts.  Borrower shall take all necessary actions to (i) keep valid and effective the lien and rights of Lender under the Documents and (ii) protect the lawful owner of the Documents.  Promptly upon request by Lender and at Borrower’s expense, Borrower shall execute additional instruments and take such actions as Lender reasonably believes are necessary or desirable to (a) maintain or grant Lender a first-priority, perfected lien on the Property, (b) grant to Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by Laws, the right to foreclose on, or transfer title to, the Property non-judicially, (c) correct any error or omission in the Documents; and (d) effect the intent of the Documents, including filing/recording the Documents, additional mortgages or deeds of trust, financing statements, and other instruments.

(c)           except for defaults listed in the other subsections of this Section 6.01, if Borrower fails to perform or comply with any other provision contained in the Documents and the default is not cured within thirty (30) days after Lender providing written notice thereof (the “Grace Period”);  provided, however, that Lender may extend the Grace Period up to an additional sixty (60) days (for a total of ninety (90) days from the date of default) if (i) Borrower immediately commences and diligently pursues the cure of such default and delivers (within the Grace Period) to Lender a written request for more time and (ii) Lender determines in good faith that (1) such default cannot be cured within the Grace Period but can be cured within ninety (90) days after the default, (2) no lien or security interest created by the Documents will be impaired prior to completion of such cure, and (3) Lender’s immediate exercise of any remedies provided hereunder or by law is not necessary for the protection or preservation of the Property or Lender’s security interest;

Section 6.02                      Remedies.

(f)           apply for the appointment of a receiver, custodian, trustee, liquidator, or conservator of the Property without (i) notice to any person, (ii) regard for (A) the adequacy of the security for the Obligations or (B) the solvency of Borrower or any person liable for the payment of the Obligations;  and Borrower and any person so liable waives or shall be deemed to have waived the foregoing and any other objections to the fullest extent permitted by Laws and consents or shall be deemed to have consented to such appointment;







(g)           with or without entering upon the Property, (i) exclude Borrower and any person from the Property without liability for trespass, damages, or otherwise, (ii) take possession of, and Borrower shall surrender on demand, all books, records, and accounts relating to the Property, (iii) give notice to Tenants or any person, make demand for, collect, receive, sue for, and recover in its own name all Rents and cash collateral derived from the Property;  (iv) use, operate, manage, preserve, control, and otherwise deal with every aspect of the Property including (A) conducting its business, (B) insuring it, (C) making all repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, and improvements to or on it, (D) completing the construction of any Improvements in manner and form as Lender deems advisable, and (E) executing, modifying, enforcing, and terminating new and existing Leases on such terms as Lender deems advisable and evicting any Tenants in default;  (v) apply the receipts from the Property to payment of the Obligations, in any order or priority determined by Lender, after first deducting all Costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred by Lender in connection with the foregoing operations and all amounts needed to pay the Impositions and other expenses of the Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Lender and its attorneys, agents, and employees;  and/or (vi) in every case in connection with the foregoing, exercise all rights and powers of Borrower or Lender with respect to the Property, either in Borrower’s name or otherwise;

31











  






 











(i)           apply any Deposits to the following items in any order and in Lender’s sole discretion:  (A) the Obligations, (B) Costs, (C) advances made by Lender under the Documents, and/or (D) Impositions;







(j)           take all actions permitted under the U.C.C. of the Property State including (i) the right to take possession of all tangible and intangible personal property now or hereafter included within the Property (“Personal Property”) and take such actions as Lender deems advisable 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 at least five (5) days prior to such action shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower; or







(k)           take any other action permitted under any Laws.







If Lender exercises any of its rights under Section 6.02(g), Lender shall not (a) be deemed to have entered upon or taken possession of the Property except upon the exercise of its option to do so, evidenced by its demand and overt act for such purpose;  (b) be deemed a beneficiary or mortgagee in possession by reason of such entry or taking possession;  nor (c) be liable (i) to account for any action taken pursuant to such exercise other than for Rents actually received by Lender, (ii) for any loss sustained by Borrower resulting from any failure to lease the Property, or (iii) any other act or omission of Lender except for losses caused by Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.  Borrower hereby consents to, ratifies, and confirms the exercise by Lender of its rights under this Instrument and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, which appointment shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and irrevocable, for such purposes.







Section 6.03                      Expenses.  All Costs, expenses, or other amounts paid or incurred by Lender in the exercise of its rights under the Documents, together with interest thereon at the applicable interest rate specified in the Note, which shall be the Default Rate unless prohibited by Laws, shall be (a) part of the Obligations, (b) secured by this Instrument, and (c) allowed and included as part of the Obligations in any foreclosure, decree for sale, power of sale, or other judgment or decree enforcing Lender’s rights under the Documents.







Section 6.04                      Rights Pertaining to Sales.  To the extent permitted under (and in accordance with) any Laws, the following provisions shall, as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, apply to any sales of the Property under Article VI, whether by judicial proceeding, judgment, decree, power of sale, foreclosure or otherwise:  (a) Lender may conduct a single sale of the Property or multiple sales of any part of the Property in separate tracts or in any other manner as Lender deems in its best interests and Borrower waives any right to require otherwise; (b) if Lender elects more than one sale of the Property, Lender may at its option cause the same to be conducted simultaneously or successively, on the same day or on such different days or times and in such order as Lender may deem to be in its best interests, no such sale shall terminate or otherwise affect the lien of this Instrument on any part of the Property not then sold, and Borrower shall pay the costs and expenses of each such sale; (c) 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 or such sale may occur, without further notice, at the time fixed by the last postponement or a new notice of sale may be given; and (d) Lender may acquire the Property and, in lieu of paying cash, may pay by crediting against the Obligations the amount of its bid, after deducting therefrom any sums which Lender is authorized to deduct under the provisions of the Documents.  After any such sale, Lender shall deliver to the purchaser at such sale a deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied.  The recitals in any such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.  Any Person, including Borrower or Lender, may purchase at such sale.

Section 6.05                      Application of Proceeds.  Any proceeds received from any sale or disposition under Article VI or otherwise, together with any other sums held by Lender, shall, except as expressly provided to the contrary, be applied in the order determined by Lender to:  (a) payment of all Costs and expenses of any enforcement action or foreclosure sale, transfer of title by power of sale or otherwise (if applicable), including interest thereon at the applicable interest rate specified in the Note, which shall be the Default Rate unless prohibited by Laws, (b) all taxes, Assessments, and other charges unless the Property was sold subject to these items;  (c) payment of the Obligations in such order as Lender may elect;  (d) payment of any other sums secured or required to be paid by Borrower;  and (e) payment of the surplus, if any, to any person lawfully entitled to receive it.  Borrower and Lender intend and agree that during any period of time between any foreclosure judgment that may be obtained and the actual foreclosure sale that the foreclosure judgment will not extinguish the Documents or any rights contained therein including the obligation of Borrower to pay all Costs and to pay interest at the applicable interest rate specified in the Note, which shall be the Default Rate unless prohibited by Laws.







Section 6.06                      Additional Provisions as to Remedies.  No failure, refusal, waiver, or delay by Lender to exercise any rights under the Documents upon any default or Event of Default shall impair Lender’s rights or be construed as a waiver of, or acquiescence to, such or any subsequent default or Event of Default.  No recovery of any judgment by Lender and no levy of an execution upon the Property or any other property of Borrower shall affect the lien and security interest created by this Instrument and such liens, rights, powers, and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.  Lender may resort to any security given by this Instrument or any other security now given or hereafter existing to secure the Obligations, in whole or in part, in such portions and in such order as Lender may deem advisable, and no such action shall be construed as a waiver of any of the liens, rights, or benefits granted hereunder.  Acceptance of any payment after any Event of Default shall not be deemed a waiver or a cure of such Event of Default and such acceptance shall be deemed an acceptance on account only.  If Lender has started enforcement of any right by foreclosure, sale, entry, or otherwise and such proceeding shall be discontinued, abandoned, or determined adversely for any reason, then Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights under the Documents with respect to the Property, subject to the lien and security interest hereof.







Section 6.07                      Waiver of Rights and Defenses.  To the fullest extent Borrower may do so under Laws, Borrower (a) will not at any time insist on, plead, claim, or take the benefit of any statute or rule of law now or later enacted providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium, redemption, or any statute of limitations;  (b) for itself, its successors and assigns, and for any person ever claiming an interest in the Property (other than Lender), waives and releases all rights of redemption, reinstatement, valuation, appraisement, notice of intention to mature or declare due the whole of the Obligations, all rights to a marshaling of the assets of Borrower, including the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation, in the event of foreclosure (or extinguishment by transfer of title by power of sale) of the liens and security interests created under the Documents;  (c) shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay the Obligations as required in the Documents nor shall the lien or priority of the Documents be impaired by any agreement renewing, extending, or modifying the time of payment or the provisions of the Documents (including a modification of any interest rate), unless expressly released, discharged, or modified by such agreement.  Regardless of consideration and without any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien, security interest, encumbrance, right, title, or interest in or to the Property, Lender may (a) release any person liable for payment of the Obligations or any portion thereof or any part of the security held for the Obligations or (b) modify any of the provisions of the Documents without impairing or affecting the Documents or the lien, security interest, or the priority of the modified Documents as security for the Obligations over any such subordinate lien, security interest, encumbrance, right, title, or interest.

ARTICLE VII - SECURITY AGREEMENT







Section 7.01                      Security Agreement.  This Instrument constitutes both a real property mortgage and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the U.C.C.  The Property includes real and personal property and all tangible and intangible rights and interest of Borrower in the Property. Borrower grants to Lender, as security for the Obligations, a security interest in the Personal Property to the fullest extent that the Personal Property may be subject to the U.C.C.  Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto relating to the Personal Property without the signature of Borrower if permitted by Laws.







ARTICLE VIII - LIMITATION ON PERSONAL LIABILITY AND INDEMNITIES







Section 8.01                      Limited Recourse Liability.  The provisions of Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 of the Note are incorporated into this Instrument as if such provisions were set forth in their entirety in this Instrument.







Section 8.02                      General Indemnity.  Borrower agrees that while Lender has no liability to any person in tort or otherwise as lender and that Lender is not an owner or operator of the Property, Borrower shall, at its sole expense, protect, defend, release, indemnify and hold harmless (“indemnify”) the Indemnified Parties from any Losses (defined below) imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Parties, directly or indirectly, arising out of or in connection with the Property, Loan, or Documents, including Losses;  provided, however, that the foregoing indemnities shall not apply to any Losses caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties.  The term “Losses” shall mean any claims, suits, liabilities (including strict liabilities), actions, proceedings, obligations, debts, damages, losses (including, without limitation, unrealized loss of value of the Property), Costs, expenses, fines, penalties, charges, fees, judgments, awards, and amounts paid in settlement of whatever kind including attorneys’ fees (both in-house staff and retained attorneys) and all other costs of defense.  The term “Indemnified Parties” shall mean (a) Lender, (b) any prior owner or holder of the Note, (c) any existing or prior servicer of the Loan, (d) the officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, employees and trustees of any of the foregoing, and (e) the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing.







Section 8.03                      Transaction Taxes Indemnity.  Borrower shall, at its sole expense, indemnify the Indemnified Parties from all Losses imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Parties or the Documents relating to Transaction Taxes.







Section 8.04                      ERISA Indemnity.  Borrower shall, at its sole expense, indemnify the Indemnified Parties against all Losses imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Parties (a) as a result of a Violation, (b) in the investigation, defense, and settlement of a Violation, (c) as a result of a breach of the representations in Section 3.11 or default thereunder, (d) in correcting any prohibited transaction or the sale of a prohibited loan, and (e) in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in Lender’s sole discretion.

Section 8.05                      Environmental and ERISA Indemnity.  Borrower and other persons, if any, have executed and delivered the Environmental and ERISA Indemnity Agreement dated the date hereof to Lender (“Environmental Indemnity”).







Section 8.06                      Duty to Defend, Costs and Expenses.  Upon request, whether Borrower’s obligation to indemnify Lender arises under Article VIII or in the Documents, Borrower shall defend the Indemnified Parties (in Borrower’s or the Indemnified Parties’ names) by attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved by the Indemnified Parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties may, in their sole discretion, engage their own attorneys and professionals to defend or assist them and, at their option, their attorneys shall control the resolution of any claims or proceedings.  Upon demand, Borrower shall pay or, in the sole discretion of the Indemnified Parties, reimburse and/or indemnify the Indemnified Parties for all Costs imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any items set forth in this Article VIII and/or the enforcement or preservation of the Indemnified Parties’ rights under the Documents.  Any amount payable to the Indemnified Parties under this Section shall (a) be deemed a demand obligation, (b) be part of the Obligations, (c) bear interest from the date of demand at the Default Rate, until paid if not paid on demand, and (d) be secured by this Instrument.







Section 8.07                      Recourse Obligation and Survival.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Documents and in addition to the recourse obligations in the Note, the obligations of Borrower under Sections 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, and 8.06 shall be a full recourse obligation of Borrower, shall not be subject to any limitation on personal liability in the Documents, and shall survive (a) repayment of the Obligations, (b) any termination, satisfaction, transfer of title by power of sale, assignment or foreclosure of this Instrument, (c) the acceptance by Lender (or any nominee) of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, (d) a plan of reorganization filed under the Bankruptcy Code, or (e) the exercise by the Lender of any rights in the Documents.  Borrower’s obligations under Article VIII shall not be affected by the absence or unavailability of insurance covering the same or by the failure or refusal by any insurance carrier to perform any obligation under any applicable insurance policy.







ARTICLE IX - ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS







Section 9.01                      Usury Savings Clause.  All agreements in the Documents are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid under the Documents for the use, forbearance, or detention of money exceed the highest lawful rate permitted by Laws.  If, at the time of performance, fulfillment of any provision of the Documents shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by Laws, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity.  If Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the receipt of such excess shall be deemed a mistake and (a) shall be canceled automatically or (b) if paid, such excess shall be (i) credited against the principal amount of the Obligations to the extent permitted by Laws or (ii) rebated to Borrower if it cannot be so credited under Laws.  Furthermore, all sums paid or agreed to be paid under the Documents for the use, forbearance, or detention of money shall to the extent permitted by Laws 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 Obligations does not exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Obligations for so long as the Obligations are outstanding.

(b)           Borrower agrees that upon any assignment or transfer of the Documents by Lender to any third party, Lender shall have no obligations or liabilities under the Documents, such third party shall be substituted as the lender under the Documents for all purposes and Borrower shall look solely to such third party for the performance of any obligations under the Documents or with respect to the Loan.







Section 9.07                      Miscellaneous.  If any provision of the Documents shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, this shall not affect any other provisions of the Documents and such provision shall be limited and construed as if it were not in the Documents.  If title to the Property becomes vested in any person other than Borrower, Lender may, without notice to Borrower, deal with such person regarding the Documents or the Obligations in the same manner as with Borrower without in any way vitiating or discharging Borrower’s liability under the Documents or being deemed to have consented to the vesting.  If both the lessor’s and lessee’s interest under any Lease ever becomes vested in any one person, this Instrument and the lien and security interest created hereby shall not be destroyed or terminated by the application of the doctrine of merger and Lender shall continue to have and enjoy all its rights and privileges as to each separate estate.  Upon foreclosure (or transfer of title by power of sale) of this Instrument, none of the Leases shall be destroyed or terminated as a result of such foreclosure (or sale), by application of the doctrine of merger or as a matter of law, unless Lender takes all actions required by law to terminate the Leases as a result of foreclosure (or sale).  All of Borrower’s covenants and agreements under the Documents shall run with the land and time is of the essence.  Borrower appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, which appointment is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, with respect to the execution, acknowledgment, delivery, filing or recording for and in the name of Borrower of any of the documents listed in Sections 3.04, 3.19, 4.01 and 6.02.  The Documents cannot be amended, terminated, or discharged except in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.  No waiver, release, or other forbearance by Lender will be effective unless it is in a writing signed by Lender and then only to the extent expressly stated.  The provisions of the Documents shall be binding upon Borrower and its heirs, devisees, representatives, successors, and assigns including successors in interest to the Property and inure to the benefit of Lender and its heirs, successors, substitutes, and assigns.  Where two or more persons have executed the Documents, the obligations of such persons shall be joint and several, except to the extent the context clearly indicates otherwise.  The Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all parties had executed the same document.  All such counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument, but in making proof hereof it shall only be necessary to produce one such counterpart. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Document, dated the date of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Document containing the same provisions.  Any reviews, inspections, reports, approvals or similar items conducted, made or produced by or on behalf of Lender with respect to Borrower, the Property or the Loan are for loan underwriting and servicing purposes only, and shall not constitute an acknowledgment, representation or warranty of the accuracy thereof, or an assumption of liability with respect to Borrower, Borrower’s contractors, architects, engineers, employees, agents or invitees, present or future tenants, occupants or owners of the Property, or any other party.







Section 9.08                      Entire Agreement.  Except as provided in Section 3.17, (a) the Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan and supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements with respect to the Loan including the Loan application and Loan commitment and (b) Borrower is not relying on any representations or warranties of Lender except as expressly set forth in the Documents.

EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM FILED BY EITHER PARTY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN, THE DOCUMENTS, OR ANY ALLEGED ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER OR BORROWER IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

B.           Covenants.

At the option of Lender, Borrower shall forward to Lender, simultaneously with the transmittal of such payment, a photostatic copy of such transmittal of payment, which copy shall be certified by Borrower as being true, correct and complete and as being delivered by Borrower to the party designated on such date.  At the option of Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, within ten (10) days after the date of each such payment, the original or photostatic copy of the official receipt evidencing such payment or other proof of payment satisfactory to Lender.

(c)           In the event Borrower defaults under the terms, conditions or provisions of the Ground Lease, or Borrower receives any notice from any Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease or otherwise of the occurrence of a default or event of default on the part of the Borrower or any other party under the Ground Lease, or Borrower receives any notice from any Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease or otherwise of the occurrence of, or failure of, any condition under the Ground Lease or any other circumstance pursuant to which the Ground Lease may be terminated or canceled or the leasehold estate may otherwise be diminished, Borrower shall within three (3) business days after Borrower receives information as to the commission of such default or of the receipt of such notice of default or other occurrence, notify Lender of the occurrence of such default or event of default or occurrence and provide Lender in such notification with a copy of such notice of default.

(d)           Each entity comprising Borrower warrants, represents and certifies to Lender with respect to or on behalf of itself or themselves only (and not otherwise) and to each other that








	
(i)

	
The Borrower is the sole owner and holder of the entire lessee's interest in the Ground Lease and of the leasehold estate created thereby, free and clear of any and all liens, security interests and encumbrances, but subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.

(iii)

	
No Borrower is in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions thereof nor does there exist any event of default or any state of facts or condition that would, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, constitute a default or event of default on the part of any Borrower under any of said terms, covenants or conditions or otherwise impair, reduce or otherwise alter the leasehold estate conveyed thereunder.













	
(iv)

	
Borrower is not prohibited under any judgment, court decree, administrative regulation, administrative ruling, ordinance, law or other ruling applicable to Borrower, from the execution and delivery of this Instrument and of the assignment of Borrower's interest in the Ground Lease, the performance of each and every obligation of Borrower hereunder and under the Ground Lease and the meeting of each and every condition herein or in the Ground Lease contained.

43











  






 












	
(viii)

	
Borrower has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Instrument and said execution and delivery has been duly authorized and does not conflict with or constitute a default under the Ground Lease or any other agreement, indenture or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or the Property.












(e)           Borrower shall not, without in each such event obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, enter into any agreements, whether written or oral, that purport to amend, modify, or vary the terms, conditions and provisions of the Ground Lease or that directly or indirectly waives or releases any Ground Lessor from the performance or observance by the Ground Lessor of any obligation or condition of the Ground Lease.  The prior written consent of Lender shall be evidenced in the following manner:  Lender must either (i) join in the execution of such amendment, modification or variance, which amendment, modification or variance shall be thereupon recorded in the real estate records in the state and county in which the Property are located, or (ii) Lender's written consent shall be executed in recordable form, attaching thereto a true, correct and complete copy of such amendment, modification or variance, and which document indicating such consent of Lender shall be thereupon recorded in the real estate records in the state and county in which the Property are located.

Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as Lender, in its sole discretion, deems necessary for any such purpose, including, but not limited to the payment of any rental amounts or other sums due under the Ground Lease, and Lender may proceed to perform any and all obligations of Borrower contained in the Ground Lease and exercise any and all rights of Borrower therein contained as fully as the Borrower itself could, and upon so doing shall be subrogated to any and all rights of Borrower as Lessee under the Ground Lease, and Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender immediately and without demand, all such sums so paid and expended by Lender, together with interest thereon from the date of such payment at the default rate set forth in the Note, which sums shall be secured by this Instrument as part of the Obligations.  Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender as Borrower's duly authorized attorney in fact to make advances under this Instrument for any purpose described in this paragraph and to take any other action referenced in this Instrument, and such power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable by death or otherwise.







(g)           New Ground Lease with Lender.  If the Ground Lease shall be terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term due to an event of default thereunder, and if, pursuant to any provision of the Ground Lease, Lender or its designee shall acquire from the lessor under the Ground Lease a new lease of the Property and the Improvements, Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, or renewal privileges therein contained.







(h)           Borrower's Ground Lease Termination Rights.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not withhold Lender's consent to a termination of the Ground Lease provided that Borrower acquires the fee simple interest therein, or to permit the termination of the Ground Lease and the re-acquisition of the fee simple interest therein in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease, provided that (a) Borrower pays all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, and (b) Borrower provides to Lender evidence, including an endorsement to Lender's title insurance policy, that as a result of such termination Borrower shall own fee simple title to the portion of the Land subject to the Ground Lease, and that this Instrument is unencumbered (including as to subordinate items), exclusive of the encumbrances permitted hereunder other than the Ground Lease.

Section 11.02  Ground Lease Bankruptcy Matters.







(a)           The lien of this Instrument shall attach to any and all of the Borrower's rights and remedies arising hereafter under or pursuant to Subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §365(h), including all of Borrower's rights to remain in possession of the Property.







(b)           Borrower shall not, without first obtaining Lender's written consent, elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated under Subsection 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §365(h)1).  Any such election made without obtaining Lender's prior written consent shall be void.







(c)           Borrower hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender all of Borrower's claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by the Ground Lessor of the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. ("Bankruptcy Code").  Lender shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of the Borrower in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Ground Lease, including the right to file and prosecute, with or without the joinder of Borrower, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices or other documents in any case with respect to the Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.  This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until this Instrument shall have terminated.  Any amounts received by Lender as damages arising out of the rejection of the Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of Lender (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Instrument and then applied in accordance with the provisions of this Instrument in the manner set forth with respect to condemnation proceeds.







(d)           If any action, suit, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed with respect to the Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall participate in any such litigation to an extent and in a manner acceptable to Lender.  Borrower shall not commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in respect of the Ground Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code without first obtaining the written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.







(e)           Borrower shall, promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Lender orally, by telephone, of any filing by or against the Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code.  Borrower shall also immediately thereafter give written notice of such filing to Lender, setting forth any information available to Borrower as to the date of such filing, the court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought therein.  Borrower shall also, promptly after Borrower's receipt, deliver to Lender any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Borrower in connection with any such petition and in connection with any proceedings relating thereto.







(f)           If there shall be filed by or against Borrower a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and Borrower, as lessee under the Ground Lease, shall determine to reject the Ground Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall give Lender prior written notice of the date on which Borrower shall apply to the Bankruptcy Court for authority to reject the Ground Lease.  Such date of application by Borrower shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date such written notice is received by Lender.  Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower, prior to the date Borrower has indicated as the date on which Borrower shall apply to the Bankruptcy Court for authority to reject the Ground Lease, a written notice stating:  (i) that Lender demands that Borrower assume and assign the Ground Lease pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (ii) that Lender covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance  under the Ground Lease.

The undersigned Ground Lessor, PARAMUS ROAD IV, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, successor in title to Tamburelli Properties Associates, the fee simple owner of the Land that is subject to the Ground Lease and the Ground Lessor thereunder, hereby joins in the execution of this Agreement to confirm Ground Lessor’s consent to the foregoing Agreement, Tamburelli Properties Associates having joined in that certain Mortgage and Security Agreement dated as of April 30, 1998 from Borrower in favor of Lender, and joined in by Ground Lessor, recorded in Mortgage Book 9690, Page 419, as amended by that certain Modification of Mortgage and Security Agreement and Assignment of Leases and Rents dated as of November 12, 2004 between Borrower and Lender, recorded in Mortgage Release Book 1014, Page 620 (the “Existing Mortgage”) and by doing so, to secure the payment in full of the Obligations, hereby GRANTS, BARGAINS, SELLS, CONVEYS, TRANSFERS, ASSIGNS and SETS OVER to Lender, its successors and assigns, and grants Lender a security interest in, upon the terms and conditions hereof, all right, title and interest of the Ground Lessor now owned, or hereafter acquired, in and to the Property, including, but limited to, the fee simple interest in and to the Land.







TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto Lender, and the successors and assigns of Lender forever, in FEE SIMPLE, and the Ground Lessor covenants that the Ground Lessor is lawfully seized of the Property and has good right to convey the same.







Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Mortgage and the within Agreement) do not include the obligations under the Amended and Restated Cross-Collateral Guaranty and the indebtedness evidenced thereby, which obligations are secured by the Amended Cross-Collateral Mortgage as defined in the within Agreement, which Amended Cross-Collateral Mortgage secures the Amended and Restated Cross-Collateral Guaranty and the notes referenced therein and guaranteed thereby [exclusive of the Note secured hereby in the original principal amount of Twenty Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($23,000,000.00)].







In the event of any foreclosure under the Amended Cross-Collateral Mortgage, whether separately from this Instrument or jointly with this Instrument, including any foreclosure prior to any foreclosure of this Instrument, Lender or the purchaser at the foreclosure shall take subject to the Ground Lease and shall be required to recognize the Ground Lease as a superior matter of title.  It is the intent of the Ground Lessor and the Lender and Borrower that the interests mortgaged by Ground Lessor hereunder shall secure only the Obligations of the Note in the aggregate principal sum of Twenty Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($23,000,000.00) as set forth in the within Instrument, which Note amount provides for a Loan to Value ratio of less than 80% as required by  the provisions of Article 12, Section 12.01(b) of the Ground Lease.







Ground Lessor hereby represents and warrants to Lender as follows:  Ground Lessor is duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver this Instrument, has received all necessary consents with respect thereto, and this Instrument does not conflict with or contravene any term or condition to which Ground Lessor is bound.  Ground Lessor has been represented in this transaction by independent and competent legal counsel of its own choice and has read and reviewed with such counsel this Instrument and the other Documents.







Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Note, this Instrument, or in any of the other Documents, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Ground Lessor executed and delivered this Instrument solely for the purpose of subjecting Ground Lessor's fee simple title in the Property to the lien of this Instrument and the other Documents securing the Note in the original principal amount of Twenty Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($23,000,000.00), but not the Cross-Collateral Guaranty.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Note, this Instrument, or in any of the other Documents, but without in any manner releasing, impairing, or otherwise affecting the Note, this Instrument, or any of the other Documents, or the validity hereof or thereof, or the lien of this Instrument, the liability of Ground Lessor under this Instrument, and the other Documents, shall be limited to, and satisfied solely out of, the Property set forth in the Ground Lease.  In no event shall Ground Lessor be personally liable under the Note, this Instrument, or any of the other Documents.  If an Event of Default occurs in the timely and prompt payment of all or any part of the Obligations or in any other Obligations under the Documents, any judicial proceedings by Lender and any successor against Ground Lessor shall be limited to the enforcement and foreclosure of the liens and security interest now or at any time hereafter securing payment of the Obligations and to the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases and Rents and any other Documents, and no attachment, execution, or other writ or process shall be sought, issued, or levied upon assets, properties, or funds of Ground Lessor other than the Collateral.  In the event of foreclosure of any such lien or security interest securing the payment of the Obligations by private power of sale or otherwise, no judgment for any deficiency upon the Obligations shall be sought or be obtainable by Lender or any successor against Ground Lessor or any successors or assigns thereof.
