Memorandum: We affirm for reasons stated in the decision at Supreme Court (Altshuler Shaham Provident Funds, Ltd. v GML Tower LLC, 28 Misc 3d 475 [2010]). We add only that we do not address plaintiff's contention that the 2007 Loan Agreement was a preliminary agreement that expired before the mortgage at issue was filed. That contention is raised for the first time on appeal and " 'could have been obviated [*2]or cured by factual showings or legal countersteps' " in Supreme Court (Oram v Capone, 206 AD2d 839, 840 [1994]). Present—Scudder, P.J., Centra, Sconiers and Green, JJ.
