$12,000,000.00		As of May 23, 2013		Melville, New York

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, 60 EAST 42^ND ST. ASSOCIATES L.L.C. (F/K/A 60 EAST 42^ND ASSOCIATES), a New York limited liability company, with offices at c/o Malkin Holdings LLC, 60 East 42nd Street, New York, New York 10165 (the “Maker”), promises to pay to SIGNATURE BANK, a New York banking corporation, having an office at 68 South Service Road, Melville, New York 11747 (the “Payee”), or such other place as may be designated in writing by the holder of this Note, the principal sum of Twelve Million and 00/100 Dollars ($12,000,000.00) or so much thereof as shall have been advanced to the Maker pursuant to the terms of a loan agreement of even date herewith between the Maker and the Payee (the “Loan Agreement”), together with interest as hereinafter provided.

All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on November 5, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”).

Until the interest rate on this Note is fixed as set forth below, amounts outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at an annual rate equal at all times to the greater of (i) three and three quarters of one percent (3.75%) or (ii) one half of one percent (1/2%) plus the Prime Rate of the Payee (the “Variable Rate”). The “Prime Rate” is the rate established from time to time by the Payee as its “Prime Rate”. The Prime Rate is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate being charged to any customer. Such annual rate will change on the effective date of any change in the Prime Rate. The Payee will not be obligated to notify the Maker of any change in the Prime Rate.

Prior to the Maturity Date, the Maker shall have the option (by notice given to Payee at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the fixing of the interest rate to which such notice pertains), up to three (3) times with minimum increments of $3,000,000.00, to fix the interest rate on all or any portion of the principal on this Note then outstanding. In such event, the rate shall be fixed until the Maturity Date at an annual rate equal to either:

 

(a)

Option A: The greater of (i) three and three quarters of one percent (3.75%) or (ii) 275 basis points in excess of the weekly average yield on United States Treasury Securities adjusted to a maturity closest to the Maturity Date as most recently made available by the Federal Reserve Board as of two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the fixing of the interest rate. If the Maker elects Option A, the Maker shall be subject to the payment of prepayment fees as set forth below.

---

(b)

Option B: The greater of (i) four percent (4.00%) or (ii) 300 basis points in excess of the weekly average yield on United States Treasury Securities adjusted to a maturity closest to the Maturity Date as most recently made available by the Federal Reserve Board as of two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the fixing of the interest rate. If the Maker elects Option B, the Maker may prepay this Note during the term of this Note without any prepayment fees.

Interest shall be payable commencing on June 10, 2013 and monthly thereafter on the tenth (10^th) day of each month (the “Debit Date”). Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and collected on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed.

Monthly payments on this Note will be of interest only.

Until the Debt (as defined in the Mortgage, as hereinafter defined) has been repaid in full, the Maker agrees to maintain an operating account (account #15020xxxxx) for the Mortgaged Property (as hereinafter defined) with the Payee. Maker hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes the Payee to automatically debit from such account any and all payments due hereunder and unconditionally warrants and represents to Payee that it shall, until the Debt has been repaid in full, maintain sufficient funds in such account to pay same. Time is of the essence as to all dates set forth herein, provided, however, that whenever any payment that is to be made under this Note shall be stated to be due on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday or the equivalent for banks generally under the laws of the State of New York (any other day being a “Business Day”), such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part (in multiples of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), at any time and from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days notice to Payee, provided that all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment shall then be paid. Maker may withdraw any such notice of prepayment at any time. Any portion of this Note which is prepaid and being interest at a rate based on the Variable Rate, may be prepaid without the payment of any prepayment fee. Any portion of this Note which is prepaid and not bearing interest at the Variable Rate, may be prepaid subject to the payment of a prepayment fee equal to an amount calculated by multiplying (i) one percent (1%) times (ii) the number of years or partial years remaining in the term of this Note times (iii) the amount of such prepayment. No prepayment fee shall be due and payable during the sixty (60) day period immediately preceding the Maturity Date. In addition, if the Maker has elected Option B as the interest rate on this Note, as more fully described above, no prepayment fee shall be due and payable.

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Mortgagor is the owner in fee simple of the buildings and improvements now or hereafter located on the Premises (the “Improvements”); and

(c) all awards or payments, including interest thereon, which may be made with respect to the Mortgaged Property, whether from the exercise of the right of eminent domain (including any transfer made in lieu of the exercise of said right) or for any other injury to or decrease in the value of the Mortgaged Property, to the extent of Mortgagor’s interest therein;

(d) all leases and other agreements affecting the use or occupancy of the Mortgaged Property now or hereafter entered into (the “Leases”) and the right to receive and apply the rents, issues and profits of the Mortgaged Property (the “Rents”) to the payment of the Debt, to the extent of Mortgagor’s interest therein;

(e) all proceeds of any unearned premiums on any insurance policies covering the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the right to receive and apply the proceeds of any insurance, judgments or settlements made in lieu thereof in reduction of the Debt, for damage to the Mortgaged Property, to the extent of Mortgagor’s interest therein; and

And the Mortgagor covenants and warrants with the Mortgagee that:

1. The Mortgagor will pay the Debt as provided in the Note and as otherwise provided herein.

2. The Mortgagor warrants the title to the Mortgaged Property subject to the matters set forth in the title policy issued by First American Title Insurance Company and insuring the lien of this Mortgage.

3. The Mortgagor will keep the Mortgaged Property insured against loss or damage by fire with extended coverage, flood insurance, terrorism/war risk insurance (to the extent available to the Mortgagor at commercially reasonable rates, as determined by the Mortgagor in its reasonable discretion, which are comparable to premiums per dollar of fire insurance coverage, in an amount not less than the principal amount of the Debt) and such other hazards as the Mortgagee shall from time to time require in amounts approved by the Mortgagee and shall pay the premiums for such insurance as same become due and payable. All policies of insurance (the “Policies”) shall be issued by an insurer reasonably acceptable to the Mortgagee and shall contain the standard New York mortgagee clause endorsement naming the Mortgagee loss payee and additional insured (subject to the rights of the holder of the First Mortgage). The Mortgagor will assign and deliver the Policies to the Mortgagee (subject to the rights of the holder of the First Mortgage). Not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of each of the Policies the Mortgagor will deliver to the Mortgagee satisfactory evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies. If the Mortgaged Property is partially damaged by fire or other casualty, the Mortgagee shall make seventy-five (75%) percent of the net insurance proceeds received by the Mortgagee in connection with such damage available to the Mortgagor in order to restore the Mortgaged Property, provided that: (i) the net insurance proceeds are sufficient, in the opinion of the Mortgagee, to fully restore the Mortgaged Property or, if such proceeds are insufficient to fully restore the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor shall have deposited with the Mortgagee or, if required by the holder of the First Mortgage, with the holder of the First Mortgage, cash in an amount equal to the difference between the reasonably estimated cost of restoring the Mortgaged Property and the amount of the net insurance proceeds; (ii) the Mortgagor is not then in default under the terms of the Note or this Mortgage; and (iii) in the opinion of the Mortgagee reasonably exercised the Mortgaged Property can be fully restored within twelve (12) months from the occurrence of such damage. The remaining twenty-five (25%) percent of the net insurance proceeds shall be released to the Mortgagor once the renovation or restoration is substantially completed and following such renovation or restoration the rents under the Leases and income from the Mortgaged Porperty are sufficient (as reasonably determined by Mortgagee) to pay the debt service under the Note, the First Mortgage, real estate taxes on the Premises and the operating expenses related thereto. If held by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee will hold all insurance proceeds in an interest-bearing money market account. The interest earned thereon shall be the property of the Mortgagor and shall be disbursed to the Mortgagor in the manner and for the purposes that insurance proceeds are to be disbursed pursuant to this paragraph 3. In the event insurance proceeds are made available to repair or restore the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the foregoing, the Mortgagor shall retain an architect, at its sole cost and expense (whose fees shall be paid out of the insurance proceeds), who shall

---

submit plans and specifications to the Mortgagee for the repair or restoration of the Mortgaged Property (indicating that such repair or restoration can be completed within the period provided for herein) and a budget itemizing the projected costs of such repair or restoration. Such plans and specifications and the budget are subject to the Mortgagee’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Prior to the commencement of any repair or restoration the Mortgagor shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense, all necessary permits and approvals therefor. If the insurance proceeds are held by the Mortgagee and not by the holder of the First Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall periodically disburse seventy-five (75%) percent of such net insurance proceeds to pay for work completed or materials installed pursuant to the approved plans and specifications and budget. The expenses incurred by the Mortgagor (including, without limitation, architect’s and attorney’s fees and all “soft” and “hard” costs in connection with such restoration) shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the extent that seventy-five (75%) percent of the net insurance proceeds are insufficient to pay for such expenses. The Mortgagee shall not at any time be required to disburse any insurance proceeds to the Mortgagor if the undisbursed balance of such net insurance proceeds is, in the opinion of the Mortgagee, reasonably exercised, insufficient to timely complete the restoration of the Mortgaged Property free and clear of all liens in accordance with the aforesaid plans and specifications and budget. In the event the Mortgaged Property is damaged to a greater extent than set forth above, in the opinion of the Mortgagee, reasonably exercised, and subject to terms of the First Mortgage, any sums paid to the Mortgagee by any insurer may be retained and applied by the Mortgagee toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as the Mortgagee in its discretion shall deem proper or, at the discretion of the Mortgagee, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to the Mortgagor for such purposes as the Mortgagee shall designate. If the Mortgagee shall receive and retain such insurance money, the lien of this Mortgage shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received after expenses of collection and retained by the Mortgagee and actually applied by the Mortgagee in reduction of the Debt. The provisions of Subsection 4 of Section 254 of the Real Property Law of New York covering the insurance of buildings against loss by fire shall not apply to this Mortgage. The Mortgagee shall be entitled, in the event of other insurance and contribution between the insurers, to receive from the insurance moneys to be paid such an amount as would have been payable under the policy or policies held for the benefit of the Mortgagee in case there had been no contribution.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph 3 to the contrary, in the event of a casualty loss covered by this Section 3, but subject to the provisions of the First Mortgage, all insurance proceeds up to the sum of $1,000,000.00 shall be paid directly to the Mortgagor as trustee on account of the repair of the casualty to the Mortgaged Premises (subject to the rights of the Senior Mortgagee). Said funds shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the contractors/subcontractors on account of said work which shall be performed in accordance with applicable municipal codes and the provisions of the Note or this Mortgage and the First Mortgage.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph 3 to the contrary, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the proceeds of any rent loss or business interruption insurance will be paid to the Mortgagor (subject to the rights of the Senior Mortgagee).

 

4

---

Notwithstanding anything herein set forth to the contrary, all or any portion of the insurance required to be maintained under this Mortgage may be issued by an insurance company organized and owned in whole or in part by the Mortgagor and the Ground Lessee or either of them, provided (i) that any such insurance company shall reinsure substantially all of the risk underwritten by it and not deemed reimbursable by government programs such as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program and (ii) such insurance company shall issue certificates of insurance in form and substance satisfactory to the Mortgagee in its discretion reasonably exercised. Such insurance company need not be rated by any insurance agency or company.

4. The Mortgagor will pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents and other charges, including, without limitation, vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Premises, now or hereafter levied or assessed against the Mortgaged Property (the “Taxes”) as same become due and payable. The Mortgagor will deliver to the Mortgagee, within thirty (30) days after such Taxes are due and payable, a receipted tax bill, evidencing that the Taxes have been paid.

5. The Mortgagor, in addition to the payments of interest and principal or both payable pursuant to the Note and this Mortgage, will pay to the Mortgagee on each payment date an amount (the “Escrow Fund”) which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by the Mortgagee to be payable, during the ensuing twelve (12) months from the date of calculation, divided by the number of Installments due during the period ending one (1) month prior to the date any such real estate tax is payable. The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both payable pursuant to the Note and this Mortgage shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee (the “Installments”). The Mortgagee will apply the Escrow Fund to payments required to be made by the Mortgagor pursuant to Paragraph 4 hereof. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due pursuant to Paragraph 4 hereof, the Mortgagee shall in its discretion: (a) return any excess to the Mortgagor; (b) credit such excess against the Debt in such priority and proportions as the Mortgagee in its discretion shall deem proper; or (c) credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess the Mortgagee may deal with the person shown on the records of the Mortgagee to be the owner of the Mortgaged Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the Taxes, the Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee, upon request, an amount which the Mortgagee shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency, in default whereof the Mortgagee may apply any sums in its hands to the payment of the following items in any order in its uncontrolled discretion:

 

(i)

Taxes;

 

(ii)

Interest on the principal;

 

(iii)

Amortization of the principal;

 

(iv)

Late charges payable pursuant to the provisions hereof.

 

5

---

Until expended or applied as above provided, any amounts in the Escrow Fund shall constitute additional collateral security for the Debt and shall not bear interest.

Notwithstanding the above, Mortgagor will not be required to escrow for Taxes provided that no default shall exist hereunder beyond any applicable grace or notice period and Mortgagor is providing Mortgagee with evidence of payment of Taxes within thirty (30) days after the due date of the same.

6. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise, the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received after expenses of collection and applied by the Mortgagee to the discharge of the Debt and the Mortgagee shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority, but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest on the principal at the rate herein provided. The Mortgagee shall make the proceeds of such award available for the restoration of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 3 hereof, and any remaining proceeds after the completion of such restoration may be applied by the Mortgagee to the discharge of the Debt whether or not then due and payable. If the Mortgaged Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by the Mortgagee of such award or payment, the Mortgagee shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive said net award or payment or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt, whichever is less.

7. The Mortgagee has the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of enforcing its interests as set forth herein. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this Paragraph 7, the Mortgagee waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and grants the Mortgagor the right to collect, use and enjoy the Rents, and until the Mortgagee shall enter the Mortgaged Property to enforce its rights under this Mortgage, the Mortgagor shall have all rights to enforce the lessor’s rights under all Leases and other agreements referenced in this Mortgage The Mortgagor shall hold the Rents, or an amount sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt, in trust for use in the payment of the Debt. The right of the Mortgagor to collect the Rents may be revoked by the Mortgagee upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by giving notice of such revocation to the Mortgagor. Following such notice the Mortgagee may enter upon the Mortgaged Property, collect, retain and apply the Rents toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as the Mortgagee in its discretion shall deem proper.

 

6

---

The Mortgagor shall not, without the consent of the Mortgagee, accept prepayments of installments of Rent for a period of more than (1) month in advance or further assign the whole or any part of the Rents. The Mortgagee shall have all of the rights against lessees of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in Section 291-f of the Real Property Law of New York. The Mortgagor will: (a) fulfill or perform each and every provision thereof on its part to be fulfilled or performed; (b) if requested by Mortgagee, promptly send to the Mortgagee copies of all notices of default which it shall send or receive thereunder; and (c) enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the lessee’s part to be performed, short of termination thereof. In addition to the rights which the Mortgagee may have hereunder, in the event of any default under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee, at its option, may require the Mortgagor to pay monthly in advance to the Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be in the possession of the Mortgagor. Upon default in any such payment the Mortgagor will vacate and surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to the Mortgagee or to such receiver and in default thereof the Mortgagor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.

In the event that Ground Lessee enters into subleases that require subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements, the Mortgagee will have the right to approve any such subleases (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and will, in connection with any such approved sublease, enter into a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with the subtenant thereunder, in form and substance satisfactory to the Mortgagee and its counsel in all respects in their discretion, reasonably exercised.

Notwithstanding anything herein set forth to the contrary, as long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Ground Lessee shall have the right, without the consent of Mortgagee, to (i) sublease portions of the Premises, (ii) amend any such sublease and/or (iii) terminate any such sublease.

8. The Mortgagor will cause the Mortgaged Property to be maintained in good condition and repair. Except as contemplated by the Loan Agreement and subject to the rights of the subtenants under the Leases, the Improvements and the Equipment shall not be removed, demolished or altered (except for normal replacement of the Equipment) without the consent of the Mortgagee. Subject to the rights of the holder of the Senior Mortgage, the Mortgagor shall promptly comply with all laws, orders and ordinances affecting the Mortgaged Property or the use thereof and shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild (the “Work”) any part of the Mortgaged Property which may be destroyed by any casualty or become damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be affected by any proceeding of the character referred to in Paragraph 6 hereof and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Premises. If such casualty shall be covered by the Policies, the Mortgagor’s obligation to do the Work shall be contingent upon the Mortgagee’s paying to the Mortgagor the proceeds of the Policies, or such portion thereof as shall be necessary, upon completion of the Work to the Mortgagee’s satisfaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by its acceptance of this Mortgage, the Mortgagee acknowledges that the Mortgagor is performing material alterations to the Mortgaged Property to improve and upgrade them. Such improvement program and alterations in connection with leasing space to subtenants shall be permitted without consent of the Mortgagee.

---

9. The Debt will, at the option of the Mortgagee, become immediately due and payable in the event that the Mortgagor shall, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, (a) permit the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein to be sold, transferred, conveyed or further encumbered to any other person or entity, or (b) sell, transfer, convey or encumber the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein, which shall include but not be limited to (i) where the Mortgagor is a corporation, the sale, transfer, pledge or encumbrance of any of the outstanding shares of the corporation or the dilution of the present stockholding or corporate control by issuance of new or treasury stock or by conversion of any non-voting stock or other securities to voting stock, or (ii) where the Mortgagor is a partnership, the sale, transfer, pledge or encumbrance of any of the interests in the Mortgagor, or the withdrawal, resignation or retirement of the general partner, or (iii) where the Mortgagor is a limited liability company, the sale, transfer, pledge or encumbrance of any of the interests in the Mortgagor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of interests in the Mortgagor will be permitted without the consent of the Mortgagee, provided that Peter L. Malkin and/or Anthony Malkin and/or their controlled affiliates shall continue to have substantial and active participation in the management of the Mortgagor (as determined by the Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no interest in the Mortgagor may be transferred to a person who appears as a “Sanctioned Party” on the list promulgated by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control.

Provided that no Event of Default shall then exist, the Mortgagee shall consent to the transfer of the fee interest of the Mortgagor in the Mortgaged Property from the Mortgagor to a single purpose Delaware limited liability company (“New Mortgagor”) which is a subsidiary of Empire State Realty OP, L.P. (“OP”), the New Mortgagor and the assumption by the New Mortgagor of the obligations of the Mortgagor under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. In consideration for the Mortgagee (i) consenting to the transfer of the Mortgagor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property from the Mortgagor to the New Mortgagor and (ii) consenting to the assumption by the New Mortgagor of the obligations of the Mortgagor under this Mortgage and the the Loan Documents accruing on or after the effective date of such transfer and assumption, the New Mortgagor or the Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee prior to or simultaneously with the transfer of the Mortgaged Property and assumption of the Loan the reasonable fees and expenses of the Mortgagee’s counsel for the preparation of the documents executed in connection therewith as well as the fees and expenses for the recording or filing of such documentation.

The Mortgagor shall waive its right to accelerate the Debt pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents which might otherwise provide such right to the Mortgagee solely on account of the foregoing transactions. The waiver set forth herein is limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (a) be a consent to or a waiver of any other term or condition of any of this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents or (b) prejudice any right or rights which the Mortgagee may have in the future under or in connection with this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.

 

8

---

Nothing contained in this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents shall be construed as a prohibition on the pledge or encumbrance of any of the interests in OP, as security or otherwise, and such pledge or encumbrance shall not entitle the Mortgagee to accelerate the Debt. Further, the sale, transfer, exchange, redemption or issuance of securities of Empire State Realty Trust, Inc., the general partner of OP, and the sale, transfer, exchange, redemption or issuance of interest in OP shall be permitted without the consent of the Mortgagee and no such sale, transfer, exchange, redemption or issuance shall constitute a transfer entitling the Mortgagee to accelerate the Debt.

10.

(h) if the Mortgagor or any Guarantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors;

(i) if a receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Mortgagor or of any Guarantor shall be appointed or if the Mortgagor or any Guarantor shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state statute shall be filed by or against the Mortgagor or any Guarantor or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of the Mortgagor or of any Guarantor shall be instituted and, if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to by the Mortgagor or such Guarantor, upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days;

(j) if the Mortgagor does not reimburse the Mortgagee upon demand for all expenses incurred in remedying any default of the Mortgagor hereunder or in appearing in, defending or bringing any action or proceeding to protect the Mortgagee’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, with interest as provided herein;

(k) if for fifteen (15) days after notice from the Mortgagee the Mortgagor shall continue to be in default under any other covenant of the Mortgagor hereunder;

12

---

(q) if the Mortgaged Property is encumbered by any mortgage lien other than the lien of this Mortgage and the lien of the First Mortgage, provided, however, that the Mortgagor shall be permitted to further encumber the Mortgaged Property provided that (i) the aggregate of all secured debt of the Mortgagor shall not exceed fifty (50%) percent of the fair market value of the assets mortgaged, (ii) the holder of any such subordinate indebtedness shall enter into a subordination agreement with the Mortgagee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Mortgagee and its counsel in all respects in the exercise of reasonable discretion, and (iii) such subordinate financing does not create a default under the documents executed in connection with the First Mortgage. The Mortgagee and the Mortgagor shall attempt to agree upon the appraised value of the property being mortgaged; and if they cannot agree after thirty (30) days, then either party may require that such value be determined by an independent M.A.I. appraiser reasonably agreeable to both parties engaged at Mortgagor’s expense.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, except for items 18(a), 18(b) and 18(q), the Mortgagee shall give Mortgagor thirty (30) days written notice of non-monetary defaults (i.e., defaults that cannot be cured by the payment of a liquidated sum of money) prior to accelerating the Mortgage. In the event the default is of the nature that cannot be cured within thirty (30) days and Mortgagor commences to cure same and diligently continues to attempt to cure, the same shall not constitute a default and Mortgagor shall have additional reasonable period of time in which to cure. If a default occurs under the First Mortgage, such default shall not be deemed an Event of Default unless and until the grace or cure period under the First Mortgage shall have expired without the cure therefor having been effected. In the event that the Mortgagee shall have cured such default, then the actual cost of such cure shall be reimbursed by the Mortgagor, which reimbursement shall be due and payable within five (5) days after demand therefor, and no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred except upon the Mortgagor’s failure to pay such reimbursement within such five (5) day period.

Upon the occurrence of any one of the foregoing events set forth in this Paragraph 18 and upon the Mortgagee exercising its option to declare the Debt immediately due and payable by reason thereof, the Mortgagor will pay, from the date of that event, interest at the rate of twenty-four (24%) percent per annum (the “Default Rate”).

19. If the Mortgagor fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, the Mortgagee may, but without any obligation to do so and upon reasonable notice to or demand on the Mortgagor (except where immediate action is required to avert a loss or forfeiture) and without releasing the Mortgagor from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as the Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, the Mortgagee being authorized to enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interests in the Mortgaged Property or to foreclose this Mortgage or collect the Debt. The cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), with interest as provided in this paragraph, shall be due from Mortgagor upon demand made by the Mortgagee. All such costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in remedying such default or in appearing in, defending or bringing any such action or proceeding shall be paid with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from the Mortgagee that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to the Mortgagee. All such costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee pursuant to the terms hereof, with interest, shall be deemed to be secured by this Mortgage.

20. Mortgagor will pay a charge of five (5%) percent of any amount which cannot be debited from its account due to insufficient balances on the Debit Date (as defined in the Note), as liquidated damages for failure to make timely payment and such late charge shall be secured by this Mortgage.

21. In any action to foreclose this Mortgage the Mortgagee shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver without notice, and without regard to the adequacy of the security.

22. The failure of the Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance of any term of the Note or this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of the Note or this Mortgage. The Mortgagor shall not be relieved of the Mortgagor’s obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of the Mortgagee to comply with any request of the Mortgagor to take any action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note, (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by the Mortgagee extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note or this Mortgage. The Mortgagee may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by the Mortgagee in such order and manner as the Mortgagee, in its discretion, may elect. The Mortgagee may take action to recover the Debt or any portion thereof or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of the Mortgagee thereafter to foreclose this Mortgage. The rights of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of the Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.

23. If the Mortgagor consists of more than one person, the obligations and liabilities of each such person hereunder shall be joint and several.

24. The terms of the Note and this Mortgage shall be construed by the laws of the State of New York, except as herein expressly provided to the contrary.

25. This Mortgage is both a real property mortgage and a security agreement. The Mortgaged Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of the Mortgagor in the Mortgaged Property.

The Mortgagor will, at the request of the Mortgagee, deliver to the Mortgagee any and all further instruments which the Mortgagee shall require in order to further secure and perfect the lien of this Mortgage. The Mortgagee is authorized and empowered to file financing statements, as required by the Uniform Commercial Code, to perfect its lien against the foregoing types of personal property without first obtaining the signature of the Mortgagor on the financing statements.

 

14

---

26. The Mortgagor (and the undersigned representative of the Mortgagor, if any) has full power, authority and legal right to execute this Mortgage and to keep and observe all of the terms of the Note and this Mortgage on the Mortgagor’s part to be performed.

27. The Mortgagee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of the Mortgagor, which Mortgagee, in its discretion, feels should be brought to protect its interests in the Mortgaged Property.

28. If any term, covenant or condition of the Note or this Mortgage is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the Note and this Mortgage shall be construed without such provision.

29. This Mortgage may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each such duplicate original shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.

30. If the Mortgagor is a corporation, the execution and delivery of this Mortgage has been duly authorized by the board of directors of the Mortgagor and there is no requirement under its certificate of incorporation or its by-laws for consent of shareholders to this transaction; or if the Mortgagor is a partnership, the execution and delivery of this Mortgage has been duly authorized by the partners of the Mortgagor pursuant to its partnership agreement; or if the Mortgagor is a limited liability company, the execution and delivery of this Mortgage has been duly authorized in accordance with its operating agreement.

31. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form. The word “Mortgagor” shall mean “each Mortgagor and/or any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein”. The word “Mortgagee” shall mean “the Mortgagee or any subsequent holder of the Note”. The word “Note” shall mean “the Note or any other evidence of indebtedness secured by this Mortgage”. The word “person” shall include an individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority or other entity. The words “Mortgaged Property” shall include any portion of the Mortgaged Property or interest therein. The word “Debt” shall mean the principal with interest thereon and all other sums due pursuant to the Note and/or this Mortgage and secured by this Mortgage. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa.

32. This Mortgage cannot be changed orally but only in writing by the person to be charged.

33. The Mortgagor hereby agrees that upon its failure to pay the Debt on the maturity date the Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee interest on the then unpaid principal at the Default Rate from the maturity date and until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt by the Mortgagee. This charge shall be added to the principal and shall be deemed to be part of the Debt. This paragraph, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend this Mortgage, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to the Mortgagee by reason of any such default.

34. The Mortgagor hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim other than a compulsory counterclaim in any action or proceeding brought against it by the Mortgagee and waives trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought by either party hereto against the other or in any counterclaim asserted by the Mortgagee against the Mortgagor on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with the Note, this Mortgage or the Debt.

35. This Mortgage is subject to the express condition that at no time shall the Mortgagor be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate which could subject the Mortgagee to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which the Mortgagor is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Mortgage the Mortgagor is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under this Mortgage and/or the Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments toward the reduction of principal and not to the interest due hereunder.

36. The Mortgagor covenants that the Mortgagor will, in compliance with Section 13 of the Lien Law, receive the advances secured hereby and will hold the right to receive such advances as a trust fund to be applied first for the purpose of paying the cost of the improvement and will apply the same first to the payment of the cost of the improvement before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.

37. The Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants to the Mortgagee that, to the best of Mortgagor’s knowledge and belief, the Mortgaged Property and the use thereof are and have been in full compliance with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations regarding hazardous and toxic materials. The Mortgagor hereby indemnifies and holds the Mortgagee free of and harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, damages or liabilities the Mortgagee may incur as a result of the failure of the Mortgaged Property to be or to have been in full compliance with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations regarding hazardous and toxic materials.

38. Except for (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the provisions of Paragraph 37 of this Agreement, (ii) any acts or omissions constituting fraud or misrepresentation by the Mortgagor in connection with applying for the loan evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage and the Note or this Mortgage or in supplying information or documentation to the Mortgagee subsequent to the date hereof, (iii) the fraudulent misappropriation or misapplication of the Rents collected at the Mortgaged Property, (iv) liability for rental or other income generated from the Mortgaged Property received by the Mortgagor after default beyond applicable notice, grace and/or cure periods, if any, under the Note or this Mortgage which is not applied to the Mortgaged Property (except that payments made to affiliates of the Mortgagor for amounts accrued in prior years, or in amounts which are in excess of then-market rates shall not be considered applied to the Mortgaged Property), or (v) deliberate waste, the liability of the Mortgagor, its permitted successors or assigns, under the Note, this Mortgage and any other document evidencing or securing the Debt is hereby strictly limited to the interest of the Mortgagor, its permitted successors or assigns, in the Mortgaged Property and any judgment in favor of the Mortgagee shall be satisfied only against the Mortgaged Property. Any judgment in favor of the Mortgagee by reason of any of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (v) of this Paragraph 38 may also be enforced against and collected out of the other assets of the Mortgagor as well as the Mortgaged Property. No judgment arising out of the Note or this Mortgage may be satisfied against any asset of any member of the Mortgagor, and the Mortgagee shall neither seek, demand nor be entitled to obtain a deficiency judgment.

39. Mortgagee may, either with or without entry or taking possession of the Mortgaged Property as provided in this Mortgage or otherwise, personally or by its agents or attorneys, and without prejudice to the right to bring an action for judicial foreclosure of this Mortgage, sell the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof pursuant to any procedures provided by applicable law, and all estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand therein, and right of redemption thereof, at one or more sales as an entity or in parcels, and at such time and place upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by applicable law.

40. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to apply partial payments on account of principal, interest, tax escrow installments or tax arrears as it shall determine in its sole discretion, reasonably exercised.

41. Upon payment in full of the Debt (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), Mortgagee will assign this Mortgage to Mortgagor or its designee, at no additional cost other than (a) reasonable legal fees incurred therewith; and (b) an assignment fee of $1,500.00. However, Mortgagee shall have no responsibility or liability in the event the original Note or other documents are lost and shall, upon request if necessary, provide a lost note affidavit in form satisfactory to Mortgagee and its counsel.

42. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, wherever herein or in any other document evidencing or securing the Debt the Mortgagee or its counsel shall have discretion to approve or accept some document, action or state of facts, such discretion shall be exercised in a commercially reasonable manner.
