2





employees or agents) as the Mortgagor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, said appointment being coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution in the name of the Mortgagor, the Bank or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Bank in its sole discretion but at the Mortgagor’s expense, to exercise to the extent permitted by law, in its name or in the name of the Mortgagor or otherwise, the powers set forth herein, whether or not any of the Obligations are due (i) to execute, deliver or file financing statements and other agreements for or on behalf of the Mortgagor; (ii) to notify lessees under any Lease of the Bank’s interest therein and require such lessees to pay all sums due thereunder to the Bank; and (iii) to correspond and negotiate directly with insurance carriers.

Warranty of Title.  The Mortgagor warrants to the Bank that the Mortgagor has good and marketable fee simple absolute title to the Mortgaged Property subject only to those exceptions to title which are more particularly described in the title report issued to the Bank and which exceptions are accepted by the Bank in connection with this transaction (the “Permitted Encumbrances”).  The Mortgagor hereby covenants that the Mortgagor shall (i) preserve such title and the validity and priority of the lien of this Mortgage and shall forever warrant and defend the same to the Bank against all lawful claims whatsoever excepting only those claiming under Permitted Encumbrances; and (ii) execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such further documents or assurances, cause to be done all such further acts as may at any time hereafter be required by the Bank to protect fully the lien of this Mortgage and pay all costs related thereto.


3.

Insurance.  The Mortgagor hereby covenants to obtain and maintain at all times, throughout the term of this Mortgage, insurance covering the Mortgaged Property, in such amounts, on such forms and written by such companies, as the Bank may require from time to time, including (i) comprehensive general public liability insurance; (ii) an “All-Risk” policy covering damage due to fire and extended hazard insurance (together with vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements); (iii) if the Mortgaged Property is required or eligible to be insured pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, flood insurance; and (iv) business interruption or rental loss coverage.  Each insurance policy required under this Paragraph shall be written or endorsed so as to (i) contain a standard mortgagee or lender’s loss payable endorsement, as the case may be, or its equivalent; (ii) make all losses and all returns of unearned premiums payable directly to the Bank, without contribution; (iii) with respect to public liability coverage, name the Bank as an additional insured, as its interest may appear; and (iv) waive all rights of set off, counterclaim, deduction, or subrogation against the Mortgagor (so as not to interfere with the Bank’s rights).  Each insurance policy required under this Paragraph shall contain a provision to the effect that such policy shall not be canceled, altered, in any way limited in coverage, or reduced in amount unless the Bank is notified in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to such change.  At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, the Mortgagor shall furnish evidence satisfactory to the Bank that such policy has been renewed, replaced, or is no longer required by this Paragraph, together with proof of payment of any premiums then owing.  At the request of the Bank, the Mortgagor shall deliver all original insurance policies to the Bank.  The Mortgagor shall not take out any separate or additional insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Property which is contributing in the event of loss, unless it is properly compatible with all of the requirements of this Paragraph.

No Liens; Removal of Fixtures.  At no time during the term of this Mortgage shall the Mortgagor create or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, security interest, encumbrance, attachment, levy, distraint, or other judicial process or burden of any kind on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, whether superior or inferior to the lien of this Mortgage, without the prior written consent of the Bank, which consent may be given or withheld in the Bank’s sole discretion.  The Mortgagor shall not remove or suffer to be removed from the Mortgaged Property any fixtures presently or in the future located on the Mortgaged Property (unless such fixtures have been replaced with similar fixtures of equal or greater utility and value).


8.

Maintenance and Repair; Compliance with Laws.  The Mortgaged Property shall, at the Mortgagor’s own cost and expense, be kept and maintained in good repair, working order, and condition, and in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations (collectively, “Legal Requirements”) of any federal, state or local governmental entity or authority having jurisdiction (collectively “Governmental Authorities”).  The Mortgagor agrees to comply, and to cause its tenants to comply with all Legal Requirements made or promulgated by any Governmental Authority now or hereafter applicable to the Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgagor shall from time to time make, or cause to be made, all necessary and proper repairs and replacements required under Legal Requirements, the Leases, or otherwise required to keep the Mortgaged Property in good condition and the Mortgagor shall abstain from and shall not permit the commission of waste on or about the Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgagor shall not remove, demolish, materially alter, or discontinue the use of the Mortgaged Property, or permit the Mortgaged Property to become vacant, deserted, or unguarded.  The Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon and inspect the Mortgaged Property at any reasonable hour.

The Mortgagor acknowledges that no adequate remedy at law exists for a violation of the easement granted hereby by equitable writ or decree, including temporary and preliminary injunctive relief.  In the event the Bank is required to enforce it hereunder the Mortgagor shall pay all of the Bank’s costs and expenses in connection therewith, including all attorney’s fees incurred by the Bank.


c.

This easement shall be assignable and shall be considered assigned to whomever holds the indebtedness secured by the mortgage.


d.

The exercise of the rights granted hereunder shall not constitute the Bank a “mortgagee in possession” with respect to the Mortgaged Property.


e.

This easement is intended to be and shall be construed as an interest in the Mortgaged Property and as an easement in gross.  It is not intended to be a personal right of the Bank or a mere license.


I.

Indemnification.  The Mortgagor hereby agrees to and does hereby indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless the Bank, and any entity which “controls” the Bank, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any member, officer, director, official, agent, employee, or attorney of the Bank, and their respective heirs, successors, and assigns (collectively the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses, or liabilities of any kind or nature, and from any suits, claims, or demands, including counsel fees incurred in investigating or defending such claim, suffered by any of them and caused by, relating to, arising out of, resulting from, or in any way connected with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated therein (unless determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties).  In case any action shall be brought against the Bank or any other Indemnified Party in respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Mortgagor, the Bank or such other Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Mortgagor; provided however, that the failure to so notify the Mortgagor shall not relieve the Mortgagor of any liability it may have under these indemnification provisions or from any liability which it may otherwise have to the Bank or such other Indemnified Party.  Promptly following such notification, the Mortgagor shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel selected by the Mortgagor and satisfactory to the Bank or such other Indemnified Party, and the payment of all costs and expenses relating thereto.  The Bank shall have the right, at its sole option, but at the Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense, to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof.  The Mortgagor shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action unless the Mortgagor consents, which consent shall be reasonably given, but if settled with the Mortgagor’s consent, or if there be a final judgment for the claimant in any such action, the Mortgagor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the repayment of the Obligations.


J.

No Release; No Waiver.  Any extension of the time for payment, or any modification of the amortization of the sums secured by this Mortgage or any release of any Obligor or all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, granted by the Bank to the Mortgagor or any other Obligor shall not operate to release the liability of the Mortgagor, any other Obligor under the terms of the Loan Documents or this Mortgage or any other collateral for the Obligations.  Any forbearance by the Bank in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise afforded by applicable law shall not be a waiver of, or preclude the exercise of, any right or remedy.

L.

Remedies.  Upon and following the occurrence of an Event of Default:


1.

Advances.  The Bank shall have the right, at its election, but not the obligation, to make any payment or expenditure and to take any action which the Mortgagor should have made or taken or which the Bank deems advisable to protect the security of this Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property.  Such action shall be without prejudice to any of the Bank’s rights or remedies available under this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents or otherwise at law or in equity.  All such sums, as well as costs and expenses, advanced by the Bank shall be immediately due from the Mortgagor to the Bank, shall become part of the Obligations secured by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and shall bear interest (including after any judgment obtained on account of any of the Obligations) at the applicable rate provided in the Loan Documents in effect after maturity or default (the “Default Rate”) until repayment in full to the Bank.  The Mortgagor agrees that all of the Obligations and other obligations of the Mortgagor to the Bank under the Loan Documents, including obligations to reimburse the Bank for advances, shall survive the entry of any judgment lien on account of the Obligations or any judgment in mortgage foreclosure, whether such obligations arise before or after the entry of judgment.


2.

Other Remedies.  The Bank shall have the right, at its election, to take any one or more of the following actions:  (i) to declare all the Obligations secured by this Mortgage to be immediately due and payable (except that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Paragraph K(2), such Obligations shall automatically be due and payable without notice or demand); (ii) to obtain judgment for the Obligations together with interest on such judgment at the Default Rate until payment in full is received by the Bank and to obtain execution upon the Mortgaged Property or other property of the Mortgagor on account of such judgment; (iii) to obtain possession of the Mortgaged Property and (with or without obtaining possession) to enforce the Leases, collect the Income and rent the Mortgaged Property, either in its name or in the name of the owner, and apply the Income and rents, at the Bank’s option, to the payment of any charges and expenses of the Mortgaged Property in such order and amounts as the Bank in its sole discretion may determine, being accountable only for such rents and profits collected by it while in possession; (iv) to foreclose this Mortgage; (v) to obtain appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property without the necessity of proving either inadequacy of the security or insolvency of the Mortgagor or any other Obligor, and the Mortgagor and each such person waive such proof and consent to the appointment of such receiver; (vi) to apply on account of the Obligations, in any order and amounts as the Bank may determine and whether or not a deficiency action shall have been instituted, any unexpended money still retained by the Bank that was paid by the Mortgagor to the Bank for the payment of, or as security for the payment of, taxes, assessments, municipal or governmental rates, charges, impositions, liens, water or sewer rents, or insurance premiums, if any, or in order to secure the performance of some act by the Mortgagor; (vii) to collect from the Mortgagor monthly, in advance, so long as the Mortgagor remains in possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, the fair and reasonable market value for the Mortgagor’s use and occupation of the Mortgaged Property; or (viii) to exercise all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. If  the Obligations, as evidenced by a single note or other written instrument shall exceed the amount secured by this Mortgage, or as evidenced by a combination of same that singularly or in any part collectively may be less than said secured amount but combined exceed said secured amount, the Bank, in any foreclosure hereof, shall have the right to sue and collect the excess in the same action as commenced for the foreclosure hereof, and recover a money judgement for said excess with all the rights attendant thereto, including the issuance of an execution to the Sheriff for collection thereof, and Mortgagor and any Obligor hereby waives any defense based upon a claim that in doing so, the Bank is splitting its cause of action if it seeks to foreclose this Mortgage for part of the Obligations and recover at law for another part.


3.

Confession of Judgment for Possession.  THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH SETS FORTH A WARRANT OF AUTHORITY FOR AN ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST THE MORTGAGOR. IN GRANTING THIS WARRANT OF ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST THE MORTGAGOR, THE MORTGAGOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTELLIGENTLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND ON ADVICE OF SEPARATE COUNSEL OF THE MORTGAGOR, UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS THE MORTGAGOR HAS OR MAY HAVE TO PRIOR NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING UNDER THE RESPECTIVE CONSTITUTIONS AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA.

FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING POSSESSION OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT, MORTGAGOR HEREBY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD, IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE, AS ATTORNEY FOR MORTGAGOR, AS WELL AS FOR THE PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER, BY, OR THROUGH MORTGAGOR, TO APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST MORTGAGOR AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER, BY, OR THROUGH MORTGAGOR, IN FAVOR OF THE BANK FOR THE RECOVERY BY THE BANK OF POSSESSION OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY, FOR WHICH THIS MORTGAGE (OR A COPY THEREOF VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT) SHALL BE A SUFFICIENT WARRANT; WHEREUPON A WRIT OF POSSESSION OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY MAY BE ISSUED FORTHWITH, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER AND WITHOUT STAY OF EXECUTION, MORTGAGOR HEREBY RELEASING AND AGREEING TO RELEASE THE BANK AND ANY SUCH ATTORNEY FROM ALL PROCEDURAL ERRORS AND DEFECTS WHATSOEVER IN ENTERING SUCH ACTION OR JUDGMENT OR IN CAUSING SUCH WRIT OR PROCESS TO BE ISSUED OR IN ANY PROCEEDING THEREON OR CONCERNING THE SAME, PROVIDED THAT THE BANK SHALL HAVE FILED IN SUCH ACTION AN AFFIDAVIT MADE ON THE BANK’S BEHALF SETTING FORTH THE FACTS NECESSARY TO AUTHORIZE THE ENTRY OF SUCH JUDGMENT ACCORDING TO THE TERMS OF THIS INSTRUMENT, OF WHICH FACTS SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL BE PRIMA FACIE EVIDENCE.  IT IS HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER ANY SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN COMMENCED, THE SAME SHALL BE DISCONTINUED, MARKED SATISFIED OF

4.

Uniform Commercial Code Disposition.  With respect to that portion of the Mortgaged Property governed by the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bank shall have the right, upon five (5) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Mortgagor (or one (1) day notice by telephone with respect to Mortgaged Property that is perishable or threatens to decline rapidly in value), which the Mortgagor hereby acknowledges to be sufficient, commercially reasonable and proper, to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Mortgaged Property at any time and from time to time at public or private sale, with or without advertisement thereof, and apply the proceeds of any such sale first to the Bank’s expenses in preparing the Mortgaged Property for sale (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and second to the complete satisfaction of the Obligations.  The Mortgagor waives the benefit of any marshaling doctrine with respect to the Bank’s exercise of its rights hereunder.  The Mortgagor grants a royalty-free license to the Bank for all patents, service marks, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, computer programs and other intellectual property and proprietary rights to permit the Bank to exercise all rights granted to the Bank under this Paragraph.  The Bank or anyone else may be the purchaser of any or all of the Mortgaged Property so sold and thereafter hold such Mortgaged Property absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption of the Mortgagor, any such notice, right or equity of redemption being hereby expressly waived and released.

6.

Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.  The rights, powers and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and cumulative and concurrent, and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers or remedies available to the Bank.  No failure or delay on the part of the Bank in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.


7.

Continuing Enforcement of the Loan Documents.  If, after receipt of any payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Bank is compelled or agrees, for settlement purposes, to surrender such payment to any person or entity for any reason, then this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be.  The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the termination of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be and remain effective notwithstanding the payment of the Obligations, the release of any security interest, lien or encumbrance securing the Obligations or any other action which the Bank may have taken in reliance upon its receipt of such payment.


8.

Right of Setoff.  The Bank shall have the right to set off against the Obligations any property held in a deposit or other account with the Bank or any of its Affiliates or otherwise owing by the Bank or any of its Affiliates in any capacity to Mortgagor or any Obligor.  Such set-off shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately at the time the Bank or such Affiliate elect to do so.
