engines, boilers, incinerators, building materials, appliances and goods of
every nature whatsoever now or hereafter owned by Mortgagor and located in, or
on, or used, or intended to be used in connection with the property, including,
but not limited to, those for the purposes of supplying or distributing heating,
cooling, electricity, gas, water, air and light; all cranes and materials
handling equipment; and all elevators, and related machinery and equipment, fire

revenues, payments, repayments, deposits, income, charges and moneys derived
from the use, lease, sublease, rental or other disposition of the property and
the proceeds from any insurance or condemnation award pertaining thereto; and
all other property (tangible and intangible) now owned or hereafter acquired by
Xxxxxxxxx and used in, on or about the subject real estate or arising from the
operation of the property, all of which, including replacements and additions
thereto and proceeds therefrom, shall be deemed to be and remain a part of the
real property covered by this Agreement; and all of the foregoing, including
said real property, are herein referred to as the "Property".
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD, Xxxxxxxxx represents and warrants that (i)
Mortgagor is lawfully seized of the estate hereby conveyed and has the right to
mortgage, grant, convey and assign the Property, (ii) the Property is
unencumbered except for the matters approved by Agent and the Lenders and
described on EXHIBIT B attached hereto and made a part hereof ("Permitted
Encumbrances"), and (iii) Mortgagor will warrant and defend generally the title
to the Property against all claims and demands whatsoever, except as aforesaid.
Mortgagor hereby releases and waives all rights under and by virtue of the
Homestead Exemption Laws, if any, of the State of Illinois.
Xxxxxxxxx and Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, covenant and agree as
follows:
1. PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. Mortgagor shall promptly pay and perform all
of the Obligations when due.
2. FUTURE ADVANCES. This Agreement is intended to secure all of the
Obligations, including such Obligations that may be advanced to or payable by
Mortgagor after the date of this Agreement. This Agreement shall secure the
maximum principal amount of up to Fifty-Three Million Dollars ($53,000,000),
together with interest thereon and such other amounts as shall become due and
owing to Agent and the Lenders from Mortgagor pursuant this Agreement.
3. INSURANCE. Mortgagor shall keep all improvements now existing or
hereafter erected on the Property insured against loss by fire and such other
hazards, casualties, and
3
contingencies in such form, written by Xxxxxxxxx, in such amounts, for such
period, and against such risks as may be acceptable to Agent, with provisions
satisfactory to Agent, for payment of all losses thereunder to Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders, and Xxxxxxxxx as its interest may appear (loss payable
endorsement in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Lenders), and, if required by
Agent, Xxxxxxxxx shall deposit the policies with Agent. Any such policies of
insurance shall provide for no fewer than thirty (30) days prior written notice
of cancellation to Agent. In the event of foreclosure of this Agreement, all
right, title, and interest of Xxxxxxxxx in and to any insurance policies then in
force shall pass to the purchaser at foreclosure sale, and Agent is hereby
appointed attorney in fact for Mortgagor for the purpose of assigning and
transferring such policies and receiving all or any part of the proceeds
therefrom. The insurance proceeds or any part thereof may be applied by Agent,
at Agent's option, either to the reduction of the Obligations or to restoration
or repair of the property damaged.
4. FUNDS FOR TAXES, INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES. Upon default in
payment by Mortgagor of any of the following described items, or upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, Agent shall have the
right, at Agent's option, to require Mortgagor to pay to Agent on the first day
of each month, until the Obligations have been paid in full, a sum (herein
"Funds") equal to one-twelfth of (a) the yearly water and sewer rates and taxes
and assessments that may be levied on the Property and (b) the yearly premium
installments for fire and other hazard insurance, rent loss insurance (if
applicable) and such other insurance covering the Property as Agent may require
pursuant to the Credit Agreement, all as reasonably estimated initially and from
time to time by Agent on the basis of assessments and bills and reasonable
estimates thereof. Any waiver by Agent of a requirement that Xxxxxxxxx pay such
Funds may be revoked by Agent, in Agent's sole discretion, at any time upon
notice in writing to Mortgagor. Agent may require Mortgagor to pay to Agent, in
advance, such other Funds for other taxes, charges, premiums, assessments and
impositions in connection with Mortgagor or the Property that Agent shall
reasonably deem necessary to protect Agent's interests (herein "Other
Impositions"). Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, Agent, at Agent's
option, may require Funds for Other Impositions to be paid by Xxxxxxxxx in a
lump sum (not exceeding Other Impositions due for a one-year period) or in
periodic installments.
The Funds shall be held by Agent and shall be applied to pay
such rates, rents, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and Other Impositions
so long as no Event of Default has occurred. Agent shall make no charge for so
holding and applying the Funds, analyzing such account or for verifying and
compiling said assessments and bills, unless Agent pays Mortgagor interest,
earnings or profits on the Funds and applicable law permits Agent to make such a
charge. Unless applicable law requires interest, earnings or profits on the
Funds to be paid, Agent shall not be required to pay Mortgagor any interest,
earnings or profits on the Funds. Agent shall give to Mortgagor, without charge,
an annual accounting of the Funds showing credits and debits to the Funds and
the purpose for which each debit to such Funds was made. The Funds are pledged
as additional security for the Obligations and shall be subject to the right of
set off.
If the amount of the Funds held by Agent at the time of the
annual accounting thereof shall exceed the amount deemed necessary by Agent to
provide for the payment of water and sewer rates, taxes, assessments, insurance
premiums, rents and Other Impositions, as such payments become due, Agent (in
its sole discretion) may either (i) return the amount of the
4
excess to Mortgagor or (ii) apply a part or all of such excess at such time or
times as Agent may elect to the Obligations. If, at any time, the amount of the
Funds held by Agent shall be less than the amount deemed necessary by Agent to
pay water and sewer rates, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, rents and
Other Impositions, as such payments become due, Mortgagor shall, on demand, pay
such deficiency. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may apply, in
any amount and in any order as Agent shall determine, in Agent's sole
discretion, any Funds held by Agent at the time of application (A) to pay rates,
rents, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and Other Impositions that are now
or shall hereafter become due; or (B) as a credit against sums secured by this
Agreement. Upon release of this Agreement and payment in full of the
Obligations, Agent shall promptly refund to Mortgagor any Funds held by Agent.
5. CHARGES; MECHANICS LIENS. Mortgagor shall pay all water and sewer
rates, rents, taxes assessments, premiums, and Other Impositions (not being
diligently contested by Mortgagor (a) in a timely manner and (b) with the
support of adequate financial reserves), attributable to the Property. Mortgagor
shall promptly discharge any lien that has, or may have, priority over or
equality with, the lien of this Agreement, other than Permitted Encumbrances.
If a mechanic's lien is filed against the Property, Xxxxxxxxx
shall promptly notify Agent and, at Agent's request, shall deliver to Agent,
either of the following, at Mortgagor's option, (i) a cash deposit or (ii) an
indemnity bond satisfactory to Agent issued by a surety satisfactory to Agent,
in the amount claimed by any such lien, together with an additional sum
necessary to pay all costs, interest and penalties that may be payable in
connection therewith. Without Agent's prior written consent, Xxxxxxxxx shall not
allow any lien, encumbrance, or other interest in the Property to be perfected
against the Property, other than Permitted Encumbrances, unless Mortgagor is
then diligently contesting same and has, as to the lien, encumbrance or interest
being contested, complied with (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence.
6. PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Mortgagor (a) shall not
commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Property; (b) shall
not abandon the Property; (c) shall, unless Agent withholds insurance proceeds
as security for or application to the Obligations as provided in the Credit
Agreement, restore or repair promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner all
or any part of the Property to the equivalent of its original condition, or such
other condition as Agent may approve in writing, in the event of any damage,
injury or loss thereto, whether or not insurance proceeds are available to cover
in whole or in part the costs of such restoration or repair unless the
improvements constituting the Property are (i) totally destroyed, (ii) insurance
has been maintained thereon as required by this Agreement, and (iii) Agent
applies the proceeds of such insurance to payment of the Obligations; (d) shall
keep the Property, including improvements, fixtures, equipment, machinery and
appliances, in good repair and shall replace improvements, fixtures, equipment,
machinery and appliances on the Property owned by Mortgagor when necessary to
keep such items in good repair; (e) shall comply in all material respects with
all laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any governmental body
applicable to the Property, including, without limitation, the American with
Disabilities Act, as it may be amended from time to time; and (f) shall give
notice in writing to Agent of, appear in and defend, any action or proceeding
purporting to affect the Property, the security of this Agreement or the rights
or powers of Agent, except for any such action or proceeding caused by the gross
negligence or intentional misconduct of Agent. Unless required by applicable law
or unless Agent has otherwise consented in writing, neither Mortgagor nor any
tenant or other Person shall
5
remove, demolish or alter any improvement now existing or hereafter erected on
the Property or any fixture (other than trade fixtures), equipment, machinery or
appliance in or on the Property owned by Mortgagor and used or intended to be
used in connection with the Property, except as permitted pursuant to the Credit
Agreement.
7. USE OF PROPERTY. Unless required by applicable law or unless Agent
has otherwise agreed in writing, Xxxxxxxxx shall not allow changes in the use
for which all or any part of the Property was intended at the time this
Agreement was executed. Xxxxxxxxx shall not initiate or acquiesce in a change in
the zoning classification of the Property without Agent's prior written consent.
8. PROTECTION OF AGENT'S SECURITY. If Xxxxxxxxx fails to perform the
covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, or if any action or
proceeding is commenced that affects the Property or title thereto or the
interest of Agent therein, including, but not limited to, eminent domain,
insolvency, enforcement of local laws, or arrangements or proceedings involving
a bankrupt or decedent, then Agent, at Agent's option, may make such
appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as Agent deems necessary,
in its sole discretion, to protect the interests of Agent and the Lenders,
including, but not limited to, (a) disbursement of attorneys' fees; (b) entry
upon the Property to remedy any failure of Mortgagor to perform hereunder; and
(c) procurement of satisfactory insurance.
Any amounts disbursed by Agent pursuant to this Section 8,
with interest thereon, shall become part of the Obligations and shall be secured
by this Agreement. Unless Mortgagor and Agent agree in writing to other terms of
payment, such amounts shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear
interest from the date of disbursement, unless collection from Mortgagor of
interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such
amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate that may be collected from
Mortgagor under applicable law. Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees that Agent
shall be subrogated to the lien of any mortgage or other lien discharged, in
whole or in part, by the Obligations. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall
require Agent to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.
The procurement of insurance of the payment of taxes or other
liens or charges by Agent shall not be a waiver of the right of Agent or the
Lenders to accelerate the maturity of any of the Obligations secured by this
Agreement. Agent's receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages under the
insurance or condemnation provisions of the Credit Agreement or this Agreement
shall not operate to cure or waive any default in payment of sums secured by
this Agreement.
9. CONDEMNATION. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Agent of any action or
proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking, whether direct or
indirect, of the Property, or part thereof, and Xxxxxxxxx shall appear in and
prosecute any such action or proceeding unless otherwise directed by Agent in
writing. Xxxxxxxxx authorizes Agent, at Agent's option, as attorney-in-fact for
Xxxxxxxxx, to commence, appear in and prosecute, after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, in Agent's or Xxxxxxxxx's name, any action or proceeding
relating to any condemnation or other taking of the Property, whether direct or
indirect, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such
condemnation or other taking. The proceeds of any award, payment or claim for
damages, direct or consequential, in connection
6
with any condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect, of the
Property, or part thereof, or for conveyances in lieu of condemnation, are
hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Agent.
With the consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld in Agent's
sole discretion, Mortgagor may apply such awards, payments, proceeds or damages,
after the deduction of Agent's expenses incurred in the collection of such
amounts, to restoration or repair of the Property. Otherwise, such sums so
received shall be applied to payment of the Obligations. Xxxxxxxxx agrees to
execute such further evidence of assignment of any awards, proceeds, damages or
claims arising in connection with such condemnation or taking as Agent may
reasonably require.
10. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Mortgagor shall, within ten (10) days of a
written request from Agent, furnish Agent with a written statement, duly
acknowledged, setting forth the sums secured by this Agreement and any right of
set-off, counterclaim or other defense that exists against such sums and any
Obligations.
11. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AND FIXTURE FILING. This Agreement shall
also constitute a "fixture filing" under the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted
in Illinois for the purpose of perfecting Agent's security interest in all of
Mortgagor's property now owned or hereafter acquired which is or becomes a
"fixture" to the Property under the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect from
time to time in Illinois, with the names and addresses of the "debtor" and
"secured party" for such purpose being:
Debtor: ______________________
______________________
______________________
______________________
Secured Party: JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Agent
Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, XX-0
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000
12. LEASES OF THE PROPERTY. Mortgagor shall comply with and observe
Xxxxxxxxx's obligations as landlord or as tenant, as the case may be, under any
leases of the Property or any part thereof. Mortgagor shall furnish Agent with
executed copies of the leases now existing or hereafter made of all or any part
of the Property, and all future leases and amendments or modifications thereto
shall be subject to Agent's prior written approval. Unless otherwise directed by
Agent, all leases of the Property made after the date hereof shall specifically
provide that such leases are subordinate to this Agreement; that the tenant
attorns to Agent, such attornment to be effective upon Agent's acquisition of
title to the Property; that the tenant agrees to execute such further evidences
of attornment as Agent may from time to time request; and that the attornment of
the tenant shall not be terminated by foreclosure. Mortgagor shall not, without
Agent's written consent, execute, modify, surrender or terminate, either orally
or in writing, any lease hereafter made of all or any part of the Property,
permit an assignment or sublease of such a lease, or request or consent to the
subordination of any lease of all or any part of the Property to any lien
subordinate to this Agreement, provided that such leases are on commercially
7
reasonable terms. If Xxxxxxxxx becomes aware that any tenant proposes to do, or
is doing, any act or thing that may give rise to any right to set-off against
rent, Mortgagor shall (a) take such steps as shall be reasonably calculated to
prevent the accrual of any right to a set-off against rent, (b) notify Agent
thereof and of the amount of said set-offs, and (c) within twenty (20) days
after such accrual, reimburse the tenant who shall have acquired such right to
set-off or take such other steps as shall effectively discharge such set-off and
as shall assure that rents thereafter due shall continue to be payable without
set-off or deduction.
13. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each remedy provided in this Agreement is
distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under this Agreement or
the Credit Agreement or afforded by law or in equity, and may be exercised
concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order whatsoever.
14. TRANSFERS OF THE PROPERTY; CHANGES IN CONTROL OR OWNERSHIP OF
MORTGAGOR. Except as expressly permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement,
Mortgagor shall not (a) voluntary or involuntary sell, lease, exchange, assign,
convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Property (or
any interest therein), or all or any of the beneficial ownership interest in
Mortgagor, or (b) convey to any Person, other than Agent, a security interest in
the Property or any part thereof or voluntarily or involuntarily permit or
suffer the Property to be further encumbered.
15. CREDIT AGREEMENT PROVISIONS. Xxxxxxxxx agrees to comply with the
covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement that is hereby incorporated by
reference in and made a part of this Agreement. All sums disbursed by Agent to
protect the security of this Agreement shall be treated as Related Expenses. All
such sums shall bear interest from the date of disbursement. In the event of any
conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the
terms of the Credit Agreement shall control. As used herein, "Related Expenses"
shall mean any and all reasonable costs, liabilities and expenses (including,
without limitation, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, reasonable
attorneys' fees, legal expenses, judgments, suits and disbursements) (a)
incurred by Agent, or imposed upon or asserted against Agent or any Lender, in
any attempt by Agent and the Lenders to (i) obtain, preserve, perfect, or
enforce any security interest evidenced by this Agreement, the Credit Agreement,
any Credit Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in
connection with any of the foregoing; (ii) obtain payment, performance or
observance of any and all of the Obligations; or (iii) maintain, insure, audit,
collect, preserve, repossess or dispose of any of the Property or any other
collateral securing the Obligations, including, without limitation, costs and
expenses for appraisals, assessments and audits of the Borrowers or any such
collateral; or (b) incidental or related to (a) above, including, without
limitation, interest thereupon from the date incurred, imposed or asserted until
paid.
16. NOTICE. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices
and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including
telegraphic, telex, facsimile transmission or cable communication) and mailed,
telegraphed, telexed, transmitted, cabled or delivered, if to Mortgagor, at
_____________________, Attn: Vice President-Finance, if to any Lender, at its
address specified for such Lender on SCHEDULE 2.01 to the Credit Agreement, and
if to Agent, at the JPMorgan Chase Office, as defined in the Credit Agreement;
or at such other address as shall be designated by any party in a written notice
to the other parties
8
hereto. All such notices and communications shall be mailed, telegraphed,
telexed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, and shall be
effective when received.
17. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BOUND; AGENTS; CAPTIONS. The covenants and
agreements herein contained shall bind, and the rights hereunder shall inure to,
the respective successors and permitted assigns of Agent, the Lenders and
Mortgagor. In exercising any rights hereunder or taking any actions provided for
herein, Agent may act through its employees, agents or independent contractors
as authorized by Agent. The captions and headings of the Sections of this
Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define
the provisions hereof.
18. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to principles of conflicts of
laws. In the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with
applicable law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of this
Agreement that can be given effect without the conflicting provisions, and to
this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.
19. WAIVER OF MARSHALING. In the event of foreclosure of the lien of
this Agreement, the Property may be sold in one or more parcels or as an
entirety as Agent may elect.
Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interests
in the Property held by Agent, or by any other Person, Agent shall have the
right to determine the order in which any or all of the Property shall be
subjected to the remedies provided herein. Agent shall have the right to
determine the order in which any or all of the Obligations are satisfied from
the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the remedies provided herein.
Mortgagor, any Person that consents to this Agreement, and any Person that now
or hereafter acquires a security interest in the Property and that has actual or
constructive notice hereof, hereby waives any and all right to require the
marshaling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies
permitted by applicable law or provided herein.
20. ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; AGENT IN POSSESSION.
Mortgagor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Agent
all of the leases, rents and revenues of the Property, including those now due,
past due, or to become due by virtue of any lease or other agreement for the
occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property, regardless to whom the
rents and revenues of the Property are payable. Although this Agreement is a
present assignment, Agent shall not exercise any of the rights or powers herein
conferred upon it until an Event of Default shall have occurred. Xxxxxxxxx
hereby authorizes Agent or Agent's agents to collect the aforesaid rents and
revenues and hereby directs each tenant of the Property to pay such rents to
Agent or Agent's agents. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and without
the necessity of Agent entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of
the Property in person, by agent or by a court appointed receiver, Agent shall
immediately be entitled to possession of all rents and revenues of the Property
as specified in this Section 20 as the same become due and payable (including
but not limited to rents then due and unpaid) and all such rents received by
Xxxxxxxxx shall immediately, upon delivery of such notice, be held by Xxxxxxxxx,
as trustee for the benefit of Agent only. This Section 20 may be supplemented by
a separate assignment of leases and rents agreement entered into by and between
Agent and
9
Mortgagor, which instrument shall set forth more fully Agent's rights with
respect to the leases, rents and revenue of the Property.
21. ASSIGNMENT OF CONSTRUCTION RIGHTS. From time to time, as Agent
deems necessary to protect its interests, Xxxxxxxxx shall, upon request of
Agent, execute and deliver to Agent, in such form as Agent shall direct,
assignments of any and all rights or claims that relate to the construction of
improvements on the Property and which Xxxxxxxxx may have against any Person
supplying or who has supplied labor, materials or services in connection with
construction of the Property.
22. EVENT OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION; REMEDIES. Each of the following
shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, (a) if any Event of Default, as
defined in the Credit Agreement, occurs under the Credit Agreement, or (b) if
Mortgagor defaults in the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
agreements of Mortgagor contained in this Agreement . In addition to any other
right or remedy that Agent may now or hereafter have at law or in equity, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right and power (i)
to foreclose upon this Agreement and the lien hereof; (ii) to sell the Property
according to law, which power of sale is hereby granted to Agent to the full
extent permitted by the laws of the State of Illinois, at one or more sales as
an entirety or in parcels, if applicable, and at such time and place upon such
terms and conditions and after such notices thereof as may be required by law;
(iii) to enter upon and take possession of the Property; and (iv) apply for the
appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Property,
without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the
Obligations and without regard for the solvency of Mortgagor or the Borrowers or
any other Person liable for the payment of the Obligations, or any thereof. If
all sums secured by this Agreement become immediately due and payable in
accordance with this Section, Agent, at Agent's option, may foreclose this
Agreement by judicial proceeding and may invoke any other remedies permitted by
applicable law or as provided herein. Agent shall be entitled to collect all
costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including, but not
limited to, costs of documentary evidence abstracts, title reports and
attorneys' fees.
23. INDEMNIFICATION. Mortgagor shall protect, indemnify and save
harmless Agent and the Lenders from and against all liabilities and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
including those incurred in connection with appellate, bankruptcy and
post-judgment proceedings) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Agent
or any Lender, and not caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct
of Agent or such Lender, by reason of (a) ownership of this Agreement, the
Property or any interest therein or receipt of any rents, (b) any accident,
injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on
or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs,
adjacent property or adjacent parking areas or streets, (c) any use, non-use or
condition in, on or about the Property, or any part thereof, or on the adjoining
sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property, parking areas or streets, (d) any failure
on the part of Mortgagor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this
Agreement, or (e) the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of
any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof.
The obligations of Mortgagor under this Section 23 shall survive any termination
or satisfaction of this Agreement.
24. HAZARDOUS WASTE COVENANTS AND INDEMNIFICATION.
10
(a) Mortgagor covenants and warrants that Mortgagor's use of
the Property shall at all times comply with and conform, in all material
respects, to all laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of any
governmental, quasi-governmental or regulatory authority now or hereafter in
effect ("Laws") which relate to the transportation, storage, placement,
handling, treatment, discharge, release, generation, production or disposal
(collectively "Treatment") of any waste, waste products, petroleum or petroleum
based products, radioactive materials, poly-chlorinated biphenyls, asbestos,
hazardous materials or substances of any kind, pollutants, contaminants and any
substance which is regulated by any law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation
(collectively "Waste"). Mortgagor further covenants that it shall not engage in
or permit any Person to engage in any Treatment of any Waste on or that affects
the Property except for activities which comply with all Laws in all material
respects.
(b) Except as specifically disclosed to Agent in writing in
any schedule to the Credit Agreement, Xxxxxxxxx has no actual knowledge that the
Property is the subject of any Notice, as hereinafter defined, from any
governmental authority or Person.
(c) Promptly upon receipt of any Notice from any Person,
Xxxxxxxxx shall deliver to Agent a true, correct and complete copy of any
written Notice or a true, correct and complete report of any non-written Notice.
Additionally, Xxxxxxxxx shall notify Agent immediately after having knowledge or
Notice of any Waste in or affecting the Property. "Notice" shall mean any note,
