Agent for the benefit of itself, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, as security for
the Secured Obligations, a security interest in the Property to the full extent that the Property
may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the
Uniform Commercial Code being called in this paragraph the “Collateral”). This Mortgage

set forth for the Mortgagor in the first paragraph of this Mortgage which the Mortgagor certifies

involving the Property. In the event of any change in name, identity, structure, or jurisdiction
or form of organization of the Mortgagor, the Mortgagor shall notify the Administrative Agent
thereof in accordance with the Security Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized to
prepare and file (without the signature of the Mortgagor) such Uniform Commercial Code forms as
Agent may deem necessary from time to time to maintain the priority of the Administrative Agent’s
lien upon and security interest in the Property, and the Mortgagor shall pay all expenses and fees
in connection with such filings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this

the term “Property” shall not include, any Excluded Property (as such term is defined in the
Security Agreement).

with the preparation and execution of such release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgagor’s

which this Mortgage was in effect shall survive any such payment or release.

Mortgagor shall not allow and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge

(ordinary wear and tear excepted but damage from casualty expressly not excepted), and will not
commit or suffer any waste of any of the Property. The Mortgagor shall not use, maintain or
operate the Property in any manner which constitutes a public or private nuisance or which makes

respect thereto. Except as provided in Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement, the Improvements and
the Collateral shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered without the prior written

other Improvement now or at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land.



     Section 3.6 Use of Property; Zoning. The Mortgagor covenants that the Property shall
be used only for purposes permitted by applicable zoning laws. The Mortgagor further covenants
that the Mortgagor will not change or permit any change in the use or general nature of the
occupancy of the Property as it exists as of the date of this Mortgage, without the Administrative
Agent’s prior written consent. The Mortgagor shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent
to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law (including, without limitation, any
zoning reclassification) or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses
which may be made of the Property or any part thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions the
use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, the Mortgagor
will not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express
written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Mortgagor shall not take any steps whatsoever to
convert the Property, or any portion thereof, to a condominium or cooperative form of management.



     Section 3.7 Compliance with Laws, etc. The Mortgagor shall promptly comply, in all
respects, with all existing and future federal, state and local laws, orders, ordinances,
governmental rules and regulations or court orders affecting the Property, or the use thereof,

(collectively “Applicable Laws”), except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Mortgagor
shall keep the Property in compliance in all respects with all Applicable Laws, except where the
failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The Mortgagor shall give prompt notice to the Administrative Agent of the
receipt by the Mortgagor of any notice related to a violation of any Applicable Laws and of the
commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Applicable Laws.
The Mortgagor shall take appropriate measures to prevent and will not engage in or knowingly permit

-8-









 







that may be required from time to time with respect to the performance of its obligations
under this Mortgage. The Mortgagor shall comply with the terms and conditions of the Property
Agreements and will not amend, supplement or terminate any material Property Agreement without, in
each instance, the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.



     Section 3.8 . Books and Records. The Mortgagor shall comply with all record keeping
and financial disclosure requirements as set forth in the Credit Agreement.



     Section 3.9 Deposits for Taxes and Other Charges. At any time after the occurrence of
an Event of Default hereunder, the Mortgagor, upon request from the Administrative Agent, will pay
to the Administrative Agent, on the first day of each and every month thereafter ensuing, in
addition to any other payments required hereunder, under the Credit Agreement and/or under any of
the other Loan Documents, an amount equal to 1/12th of all Taxes and Other Charges on or against
any of the Property to become payable during the ensuing 12 months, as estimated from time to time
by the Administrative Agent (but with the first such payment to be in such amount as shall, with
the succeeding payments, be sufficient to pay all such amounts at least 30 days before they become
due and payable), such sums to be held by the Administrative Agent (but without any obligation to
pay interest thereon, except to the extent required by law) and applied to the payment of such
premiums, taxes and assessments. If the sums collected under this Section 3.9 are insufficient to
pay the Taxes and Other Charges as they become due and payable, then the Mortgagor shall pay to the
Administrative Agent promptly upon demand any amount necessary to make up the deficiency on or
before the date when such amounts shall be due. Any amount collected hereunder from time to time,
until the same shall be applied as above provided, shall constitute additional collateral security
for the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage; and in the event of any Event of Default, any part
or all of such amounts may be applied by the Administrative Agent, at its option, to the Secured
Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement. If the funds so deposited exceed the amount required
to pay such Taxes and Other Charges for any year, the excess shall be applied toward subsequent
deposits. Said deposits need not be kept separate and apart from any other funds of the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, in making any payment hereby authorized relating
to Taxes and/or Other Charges, may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from

or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or
claim thereof.

any part thereof from the Property, other than the assignment herein to the Administrative
Agent, (iv) except where the lessee under any Lease is in default thereunder, terminate or
consent to the cancellation or surrender of such Lease, (v) accept any prepayments of any
installment of rents to become due under any Lease for a period exceeding one month, (vi)

Lease, or (vii) permit any transfer or assignment of any Lease or the sublease of the
property subject to any Lease.

     (b) The Mortgagor shall at all times timely and faithfully perform, or cause to be
performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in all Leases to be
kept and performed by the lessor thereunder and shall at all times do all things necessary
to compel performance by the lessee under each Lease of all obligations, covenants and
agreements by such lessee to be performed thereunder.




     (c) The Mortgagor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days
after each request by the Administrative Agent to do so, a written statement in respect of
any or all of the Leases setting forth the space occupied, the rentals payable thereunder,
and such other information as the requesting party may reasonably request.

prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or except as otherwise expressly permitted by the
Credit Agreement, sell, convey, alienate, mortgage, transfer or suffer the transfer (whether
voluntary or involuntary) of, or the imposition of any lien or encumbrance (including, without
limitation, any mechanics’, materialmen’s or like lien or claim or other lien or claim for lien)
with respect to, legal title to or any beneficial interest in the Property or any portion thereof
other than Permitted Encumbrances and the other Liens expressly permitted by Section 7.02 of the
Credit Agreement, and will not without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent lease,
license or permit any other person to occupy the whole or any part of the Property, but no such
consent by the Administrative Agent shall in any event be deemed a waiver or release of any of the
provisions of this Section 3.11 nor a consent to any such sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage,
transfer, leasing, licensing or permission to use or occupy any of the Property on any future
occasion, and no such consent nor any such sale, alienation, mortgage, conveyance, transfer,
leasing, licensing or permission shall release or discharge the Mortgagor from any obligations or
liabilities hereunder, all of which shall continue to be direct and primary in any event. If the
Mortgagor now or hereafter is permitted to create or to maintain any lien or encumbrance on any or
all of the Property securing any indebtedness or other obligations, the Mortgagor will fully and
promptly fulfill and observe each and every covenant and condition contained in each of the
agreements and instruments evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to said indebtedness or other
obligations. Any sale, alienation, mortgage, conveyance, transfer, leasing or licensing of the
Property made in contravention of this Section 3.11 shall be null and void and of no force and
effect. The Mortgagor agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand
for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all recording costs, reasonable
in-house and outside attorneys’ fees and disbursements and title search costs) incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any such sale,
alienation, mortgage, conveyance, transfer, leasing or licensing of the Property.



     Section 3.12 Right to Perform the Mortgagor’s Covenants. In the event of any default
in the performance of any of the Mortgagor’s covenants or agreements herein, whether or not an
Event of Default shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent may, at the option of the
Administrative Agent, perform the same, and the Administrative Agent may also take all such actions
as it deems desirable to prevent or cure any situation or circumstance which might, with the
passage of time or giving of notice or both, become an Event of Default. The costs of any and all
performance and actions taken under this Section 3.12 shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the
Administrative Agent on demand, with interest at the highest applicable rate set forth in the



-10-









 







Credit Agreement (the “Default Rate”), as from time to time in effect, such interest
to accrue from the date such cost is incurred by the Administrative Agent through the date of
payment by the Mortgagor, and all such costs and such interest shall be secured by this Mortgage.



     Section 3.12. Entry. The Administrative Agent and any persons authorized by the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter any or all of the Land and Improvements to
inspect the Property pursuant to Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement.

bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and transferred or intended now
or hereafter so to be, or which the Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or
assign to the Administrative Agent, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the
performance of the terms of this Mortgage or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage, or

exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent at

Documents, or imposes any other tax or charge on the same, the Mortgagor will pay the same, with
interest and penalties thereon, if any. If the Administrative Agent is advised by counsel chosen
by it that the payment of tax by the Mortgagor would be unlawful or taxable to the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then
the Administrative Agent shall have the right and option, by written notice to the Mortgagor of not
less than ninety (90) calendar days, to declare an Event of Default to exist under this Mortgage
and to declare the Secured Obligations immediately due and payable.

     (f) if the Mortgagor defaults in the performance or observance of any other agreement
of the Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage and such default is not remedied within thirty

ARTICLE 7 – RIGHTS AND REMEDIES




     Section 7.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, the Mortgagor agrees that the Administrative Agent may exercise any or all of the
following remedies, in addition and without prejudice to, and without limiting or otherwise
impairing, any other rights or remedies provided by law or this Mortgage or any other agreement
between the Mortgagor and the Administrative Agent or the other secured parties (including, without
limitation, the rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents the
Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued
concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as the Administrative Agent may
determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent:




     (a) Right to Accelerate. The Administrative Agent may by written notice to the
Mortgagor declare immediately due and payable the Secured Obligations (whether fixed or
matured or merely contingent), as well as all other amounts secured hereby, whereupon all
such amounts shall become immediately due and payable without any further action or notice.




     (b) Right of Entry. The Administrative Agent may, with or without process of
law, enter upon the Property, or any part thereof, and take exclusive and peaceful
possession of the Property and of all books, records, and accounts relating thereto and to
exercise without interference from the Mortgagor any and all rights which the Mortgagor has
with respect to the management, possession, operation, protection, or preservation of the
Property, including without limitation the right to make repairs and alterations to the
Property as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable and the right to rent the
same for the account of the Mortgagor and to deduct from such Rents all costs, expenses, and
liabilities of every character incurred by the Administrative Agent in collecting such Rents
and in managing, operating, maintaining, protecting, or preserving the Property (including,
without limitation, altering or repairing the Property) and to apply the remainder of such
Rents in such manner as the Administrative Agent may elect. All such costs, expenses, and
liabilities incurred by the Administrative Agent in collecting such Rents and in managing,
operating, maintaining, protecting, or preserving the Property (including, without
limitation, altering or repairing the Property), if not paid out of Rents as hereinabove
provided, shall constitute a demand obligation owing by the Mortgagor and shall bear
interest from the date of expenditure until paid at the Default Rate, all of which shall
constitute a portion of the Secured Obligations . Upon such entry, the Mortgagor will pay
over to the Administrative Agent all security deposits and will cooperate in all reasonable
ways in the Administrative Agent’s collection of rents, including, without limitation,
execution of a written notice to each lessee or occupant directing that rent be paid
directly to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be accountable for
more monies than it actually receives from the



-16-









 






Property, nor shall it be liable for failure to collect rents or enforce other
obligations. The Administrative Agent reserves within its own discretion the right to
determine the method of collection and the extent to which enforcement of collection of
delinquent rents or the eviction of delinquent tenants is prosecuted. Nothing in this
Subsection 7.1(b) shall impose any duty, obligation, or responsibility upon the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party for the control, care, management, leasing, or
repair of the Property, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any
Lease; nor shall it operate to make the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party
responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants or by any other
parties, or for any hazardous substances or environmental conditions on or under the
Property, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any negligence
in the management, leasing, upkeep, repair, or control of the Property resulting in loss or
injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee, or stranger. The Mortgagor hereby
assents to, ratifies, and confirms any and all actions of the Administrative Agent with
respect to the Property taken under this subsection. Entry under this Section shall not
operate to release the Mortgagor from any sums to be paid or covenants or agreements to be
performed under this Mortgage.




     (c) Foreclosure — Power of Sale. The Administrative Agent shall have the
STATUTORY POWER OF SALE and, with or without an entry as aforesaid, may sell the Property or
any part or parts of the same, either as a whole or in parts or parcels, together with any
improvements that may be thereon, by public auction in accordance with the statutes of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts relating to the foreclosure of a mortgage by the exercise of a
Power of Sale, and may convey the same by proper deed or deeds or bill or bills of sale to
the purchaser or purchasers absolutely and in fee simple; and such sale shall forever bar
the Mortgagor and all persons claiming under it from all right and interest in the Property,
whether at law or in equity. The Mortgagor covenants with the Administrative Agent that the
Mortgagor, in case a sale shall be made under the power of sale, will upon request execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a deed or deeds of release confirming
such sale, and the Administrative Agent is irrevocably appointed the Mortgagor’s attorney to
execute and deliver to said purchaser such a deed or deeds and a full transfer of all
policies of insurance on any of the Property at the time of such sale. In the event of
foreclosure sale, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to retain one (1%) percent of
the purchase price in addition to the costs, charges and expenses allowed under the
Statutory Power of Sale and in addition to all other sums which the Administrative Agent may
otherwise be entitled to retain. In the event that the Administrative Agent in the exercise
of the power of sale herein given elects to sell in parcels, such sales may be held from
time to time and the power of sale shall not be exhausted until all of the Property shall
have been sold.




     (d) Administrative Agent’s Judicial Remedies. The Administrative Agent may
proceed by suit or suits, at law or in equity, to enforce the payment of the Secured
Obligations to foreclose the liens and security interests of this Mortgage as against all
or any part of the Property, and to have all or any part of the Property sold under the
judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. This remedy shall be cumulative of
any other nonjudicial remedies available to the Administrative Agent under the Credit
Agreement, this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. Proceeding with a request or



-17-









 






receiving a judgment for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an election of
remedies or bar any available non-judicial remedy of the Administrative Agent.




     (e) Administrative Agent’s Right to Appointment of Receiver. The Administrative
Agent may have a receiver appointed to enter and take possession of all or any portion of
the Property, collect the rents, issues and profits therefrom, and apply the same as the
court may direct, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to the appointment of such
a receiver as a matter of right, without consideration of the value of the Property as
security for the amounts due hereunder, or the availability of other collateral, or the
solvency of any person or other entity liable for the payment of such amounts. Such
receiver may also take possession of, and for these purposes use, any and all Equipment and
other personal property of the Mortgagor contained in or on any of the Property. The
expense (including receiver’s fees, counsel fees, costs and agents’ compensation) incurred
pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured hereby. The right to enter and
take possession of all or any portion of the Property, to manage and operate the same, and
to collect the rents, issues and profits thereof, whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall
be cumulative with any other right or remedy hereunder or afforded by law, and may be
exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. The Administrative Agent or any
such receiver shall be liable to account only for such rents, issues and profits actually
received by it, less the Administrative Agent’s or such receiver’s costs and expenses, as
aforesaid, and neither the Administrative Agent nor such receiver shall be under any
obligation to collect any such rents, issues and profits, nor will the Administrative Agent
or such receiver be liable to the Mortgagor for any other act or omission upon such entry
and taking possession of all or any portion of the Property.




     (f) Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. The Administrative Agent may exercise
all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code with
respect to the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent may deal with same as Collateral
under the Uniform Commercial Code or as real property as provided in this Article, or in
part one and in part the other, to the extent permitted by law. Such rights shall include
the following:




          (i) The Administrative Agent may enter upon all or any portion of the Property and may
take possession of the Collateral or render the Collateral unusable by process of law or
peaceably without process of law. In such event the Mortgagor shall peacefully and quietly
yield up and surrender the Collateral and shall, upon request from the Administrative Agent,
assemble it and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place designated by the
Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to the Mortgagor and the Administrative
Agent.




          (ii) The Administrative Agent may dispose of all or any part of the Collateral on the
Mortgagor’s premises or elsewhere without any liability to the Mortgagor for any damage
whatsoever; provided, however, that every aspect of any such disposition by the
Administrative Agent, including the method, manner, time, place and terms, must be
commercially reasonable. Notice given to the Mortgagor at least 10 days before an event
shall constitute reasonable notification of such event under the Uniform



-18-









 






Commercial Code. Any proceeds of any disposition of any of the Collateral may be
applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of expenses in connection with the
disposition of the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and then to the other
obligations secured hereby, all in accordance with the Credit Agreement.




     (g) Leases. The Administrative Agent, with or without entry under this
Section, may collect and receive all rents accruing under any Lease of the Property or any
portion thereof, including amounts past due, as well as those accruing thereafter. In the
event of a foreclosure sale, neither the Administrative Agent nor any person claiming under
it shall have any obligation to account to the Mortgagor for any rents, issues or profits
accruing from the Property or any part thereof after such sale.




     (h) Other Rights. The Administrative Agent (i) may surrender the policies
maintained pursuant to this Mortgage or any part thereof and upon receipt shall apply the
unearned premiums as a credit on the Secured Obligations, and, in connection therewith, the
Mortgagor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact (which
is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) for the Mortgagor to collect such
premiums.




     (i) Discontinuance of Remedies. In case the Administrative Agent shall have
proceeded to invoke any right, remedy, or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and
shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon same for any reason, the Administrative
Agent shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such event, the Mortgagor and the
Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Secured
Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Property or otherwise, and the rights, remedies,
recourses and powers of the Administrative Agent shall continue as if same had never been
invoked.




     (j) Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and recourses of the
Administrative Agent granted in the Credit Agreement, this Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents, any other pledge of collateral, or otherwise available at law or equity: (i)
shall be cumulative and concurrent; (ii) may be pursued separately, successively, or
concurrently against the Mortgagor, the Property, or any one or more of them, at the sole
discretion of the Administrative Agent; (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor
shall arise, it being agreed by the Mortgagor that the exercise or failure to exercise any
of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right,
remedy, or recourse; (iv) shall be nonexclusive; (v) shall not be conditioned upon the
Administrative Agent exercising or pursuing any remedy in relation to the Property prior to
the Administrative Agent bringing suit to recover the Secured Obligations ; and (vi) in the
event the Administrative Agent elects to bring suit on the Secured Obligations and obtains
a judgment against the Mortgagor prior to exercising any remedies in relation to the
Property, all liens and security interests, including the lien of this Mortgage, shall
remain in full force and effect and may be exercised thereafter at the Administrative
Agent’s option.




     (k) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from any sale, lease, or other
disposition made pursuant to this Mortgage, or the proceeds from the surrender of any



-19-









 






insurance policies pursuant hereto, or any Rents collected by the Administrative Agent
from the Property or proceeds from insurance which the Administrative Agent elects to apply
to the Secured Obligations pursuant to Article 3 hereof, shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement.



     Section 7.2 No Waiver, etc. Any failure by the Administrative Agent to insist upon
the strict performance by the Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions hereof shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and the Administrative Agent,
notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict
performance by the Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be
performed by the Mortgagor. Neither the Mortgagor nor any other person now or hereafter obligated
for the payment of the whole or any part of the sums now or hereafter secured by this Mortgage
shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of the failure of the Administrative Agent to comply
with any request of the Mortgagor or by reason of the failure of the Administrative Agent to take
action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any of the provisions of this Mortgage or of
any obligations secured by this Mortgage, or by reason of the release, regardless of consideration,
of the whole or any part of the security held for the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, or by
reason of any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner or owners of all or any portion
of the Property and the Administrative Agent extending the time of payment or modifying the terms
of any of the obligations secured hereby or the terms of this Mortgage without first having
obtained the consent of the Mortgagor or such other person obligated as to the sums secured hereby,
and, in the latter event, the Mortgagor and all such other persons shall continue liable to make
such payments according to the terms of any such agreement of extension or modification unless
expressly released and discharged in writing by the Administrative Agent. Regardless of
consideration, and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any
subordinate lien on all or any portion of the Property, the Administrative Agent may release the
obligation of anyone at any time liable for any of the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage or any
part of the security held for such indebtedness and may extend the time of payment or otherwise
modify the terms of any of the obligations secured hereby and/or this Mortgage without impairing or
affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such lien, as security for the payment of
such indebtedness, as it may be so extended or modified, over any subordinate lien. The
Administrative Agent may resort for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby to any other
security therefor held by the Administrative Agent in such order and manner as the Administrative
Agent may elect.



ARTICLE 8 – WAIVERS




     Section 8.1 Marshalling and Other Matters. The Mortgagor hereby waives, to the extent

hereunder of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, the Mortgagor
hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of

by applicable law to give notice, and the Mortgagor hereby expressly waives the right to receive
any notice from the Administrative Agent with respect to any matter for which this Mortgage does
not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by the Administrative Agent to the

FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). THE MORTGAGOR CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO
FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE
MORTGAGOR.



ARTICLE 9 – MISCELLANEOUS
