WHEREAS, this Mortgage shall secure any and all amendments, modifications,

TOGETHER, with all buildings, and improvements now or hereafter thereto

or hereafter installed including, but not limited to, all lighting, cooling,
ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing, sprinklers, communications, electrical
systems and the equipment pertaining thereto together with the rents, issues,
profits and leases of the Mortgaged Property.
TO HAVE AND HOLD the premises unto said Mortgagee, its successors and
assigns, forever, for the purpose and uses set forth herein.
I. MORTGAGOR COVENANTS
Mortgagor represents to and covenants with Mortgagee that Mortgagor holds
fee simple title to the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of any and all liens
and encumbrances except for Mortgage to Nanofast, Inc., and Xxxxxxxxx has the
power and authority to mortgage the Mortgaged Property.
Mortgagor shall maintain or cause to be maintained the Mortgaged Property
in good repair, working order, and condition and make or cause to be made, when
necessary, all repairs, renewals, and replacements, structural, non-structural,
exterior, interior, ordinary and extraordinary. Mortgagor shall refrain from and
shall not permit the commission of waste in or about the Mortgaged Property and
shall not remove, demolish, alter, change or add to the structural character of
any improvement at any time erected on the Mortgaged Property without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee, except as hereinafter otherwise provided.
Mortgagor covenants and agrees that in the ownership, operation and management
of the Premises Mortgagor will observe and comply with all applicable federal,
state and local statutes, ordinances, regulations, orders and restrictions. If
this Mortgage is on a condominium or a planned unit development, Mortgagor shall
perform all of Mortgagor's obligations under the declaration of covenants
creating or governing the condominium or planned unit development, the by-laws
and regulations of the condominium or planned unit development, and constituent
documents. Mortgagee shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, to
enter the Premises for the purpose of inspecting the same.
II. INSURANCE
Mortgagor shall at all times keep the Mortgaged Property, including all
buildings, improvements, fixtures and articles or personal property now or
hereafter situated on the Premises insured against loss or damage by fire and
such other hazards as may reasonably be required by Mortgagee, including without
limitation: (a) all-risk fire and extended coverage insurance, with vandalism
and malicious mischief endorsements, for the full replacement value of the
Premises; in an agreed amount, with inflation guard endorsement; (b) if there
are tenants under leases at the Premises, rent or business loss insurance for
the same perils described in (a) above payable at the rate per month and for the
period specified from time to time by Mortgagee; (c) boiler and sprinkler damage
insurance in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, if and so long as
the Premises shall contain a boiler and sprinkler system, respectively; (d) if
the Premises are located in a flood hazard district, flood insurance whenever in
the opinion of Mortgagee such protection is necessary and available; and (e)
such other insurance as Mortgagee may from time to time reasonably require.
Xxxxxxxxx also shall at all times maintain comprehensive public liability,
property damage and workmen's compensation insurance covering the Premises and
any employees thereof, with such limits for personal injury, death and property
damage as Mortgagee may reasonably require. All policies of insurance to be
furnished hereunder shall be in forms, companies, amounts and deductibles
reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, with mortgage clauses attached to all
policies in favor of and in form satisfactory to Mortgagee, including a
provision requiring the coverage evidenced thereby shall not be terminated or
materially modified without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Mortgagee.
Mortgagor shall deliver all policies, including additional and renewal policies,
to Mortgagee, and, in the case of insurance about to expire, shall deliver
renewal policies not less than thirty (30) days prior to their respective dates
of expiration.
Mortgagor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form of
contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained hereunder
unless Mortgagee is included thereon under a standard mortgage clause acceptable
to Mortgagee. Mortgagor immediately shall notify Mortgagee whenever any such
separate insurance is taken out and promptly shall deliver to Mortgagee the
policy or policies of such insurance.
In the event of loss Mortgagor will give immediate notice by mail to
Mortgagee, who may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Xxxxxxxxx, and
each insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and directed to make
payment for such loss directly to Mortgagee instead of to Mortgagor and
Mortgagee jointly, and the insurance proceeds, or any part thereof, shall be
applied by Mortgagee to the restoration or repair of the property damaged. In
the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage, all right, title and interest of
Xxxxxxxxx in and to any insurance policies then in force shall pass to the
purchaser at the foreclosure sale. Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee, without
cost to Mortgagee, at the request of Mortgagee, from time to time, evidence of
the replacement value of the Premises.
If Mortgagor fails to keep the Mortgaged Property insured in accordance
with the requirements of the Loan Documents, Mortgagee shall have the right, at
its option, to provide for such insurance and pay the premiums thereof, and any
amounts paid thereon by the Mortgagee shall bear interest at the Default Rate
(as herein defined) from the date of payment.
Unless Mortgagor provides Mortgagee with evidence of the insurance coverage
required by this Mortgage, Mortgagee may purchase insurance at Mortgagor's
expense to protect Mortgagee's interests in the Mortgaged Property. This
insurance may, but need not, protect Xxxxxxxxx's interests. The coverage that
Mortgagee purchases may not pay any claim that Xxxxxxxxx makes or any claim that
is made against Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor
may later cancel any insurance purchased by Mortgagee, but only after providing
Mortgagee with evidence that Xxxxxxxxx has obtained insurance as required by
this Mortgage. If Mortgagee purchases insurance for the Mortgaged Property,
Mortgagor will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including
interest and other charges Mortgagee may impose in connection with the placement
of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of
the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to Mortgagor's total
outstanding balance or obligation. The costs of the insurance may be more than
the cost of the insurance Mortgagor is able to obtain on its own.
III. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
Mortgagor shall pay before any penalty or interest attaches all general
taxes, special taxes, special assessments, water charges, sewer service charges,
and all other liens or charges levied or assessed against the Premises of any
nature whatsoever when due, and shall furnish to Mortgagee duplicate receipts of
payment therefor. If any special assessment is permitted by applicable law to be
paid in installments, Xxxxxxxxx shall have the right to pay such assessment in
installments, so long as all such installments are paid prior to the due date
thereof. With respect to any tax or assessment which Xxxxxxxxx may desire to
contest, Xxxxxxxxx shall pay such tax or assessment in full under protest in
order to prevent a default under this Mortgage on account thereof.
IV. FUNDS FOR TAXES AND INSURANCE
If required by Mortgagee, Xxxxxxxxx shall pay to Mortgagee, at the times
provided in said Note for payment of installments of principal and interest, and
in addition thereto, installments of taxes and assessments to be levied upon the
Premises, and installments of the premiums that will become due and payable to
renew the insurance hereinabove provided; said installments to be substantially
equal and to be in such amount as will assure to Mortgagee that not less than
thirty (30) days before the time when such taxes and premium respectively become
due, Mortgagor will have paid to Mortgagee a sufficient amount to pay such taxes
and premiums in full. Said amounts paid to Mortgagee hereunder need not be
segregated or kept in a separate fund and no interest shall accrue or be payable
thereon. Said amounts shall be held by Mortgagee as additional security for the
indebtedness secured hereby. Said amount shall be applied to the payment of said
taxes, assessments and insurance premiums when the same become due and payable;
provided, however, that Mortgagee shall have no liability for any failure to so
apply said amounts for any reason whatsoever. Nothing herein contained shall in
any manner limit the obligation of Mortgagor to pay taxes and to maintain
insurance as above provided. In the event of any default by Mortgagor, Mortgagee
may, at its option but without any obligation on its part so to do, apply said
amount upon said taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, and/or toward the
payment of any amounts payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee under the Mortgage
and/or toward the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby or any portion
thereof, whether or not then due or payable. Mortgagee shall not require
payments hereunder so long as Xxxxxxxxx makes timely payment of taxes and
insurance and provides Mortgagee with evidence of same.
V. PROTECTION OF MORTGAGEE'S SECURITY
If default be made in the payment of any of the aforesaid taxes or
assessments or in making repairs or replacements or in procuring and maintaining
insurance and paying the premiums therefore, or in keeping or performing any
other covenant of Mortgagor herein, Mortgagee may, at its option and without any
obligation on its part so to do, pay said taxes and assessments, make such
repairs and replacements, effect such insurance, pay such premiums, and perform
any other covenant of Mortgagor herein. All amounts expended by Mortgagee
hereunder shall be secured hereby and shall be due and payable by Mortgagor to
Mortgagee forthwith on demand with interest thereon at the rate applicable under
the Note from the date of such expenditure.
VI. REIMBURSEMENT FOR MORTGAGEE'S LEGAL EXPENSE
In the event that Mortgagee is made a party to any suit or proceedings by
reason of the interest of Mortgagee in the Premises, Mortgagor shall reimburse
Mortgagee for all costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by
Mortgagee in connection therewith, whether or not said proceeding or suit ever
goes to trial. All amounts incurred by Mortgagee hereunder shall be secured
hereby and shall be due and payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee forthwith on
demand with interest thereon at the rate applicable under the Note from the date
of such expenditure.
VII. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Throughout the term of the Mortgage, Mortgagor shall cause to be furnished
to Mortgagee such financial information concerning the Mortgagor as Mortgagee
may reasonably request from time to time, the reasonably free access to the
Mortgaged Property and to inspect all work done and materials furnished in
connection with the Mortgaged Property, and to inspect all books, records and
contracts of Mortgagor relating to the Mortgaged Property.
VIII. CONDEMNATION
If all or any part of the Mortgaged Property is damaged, taken or acquired,
either temporarily or permanently, in any condemnation proceeding, or by
exercise of the right of eminent domain, the amount of any award or other
payment for such taking or damages made in consideration thereof, to the extent
of the full amount of the remaining unpaid indebtedness secured by this
instrument, is hereby assigned to Mortgagee, who is empowered to collect and
receive the same and to give proper receipts therefor in the name of Xxxxxxxxx
and the same shall be paid forthwith to Mortgagee, who shall release any such
award or monies so received or apply the same in whole or in part, after the
payment of all expenses, including reasonable costs and attorney's fees, to the
restoration or repair of the property damaged, if the property can be restored
or repaired to constitute a complete architectural unit. In the event the said
property cannot be restored or repaired to constitute a complete architectural
unit, then such award or monies received after the payment of expenses of
Mortgagee as aforesaid shall be applied on account of the unpaid principal
balance of the Note, irrespective of whether such principal balance is then due
and payable. Furthermore, in the event such award or monies so received shall
exceed the cost of restoration or repair of the property and expenses of
Mortgagee as aforesaid, then such excess monies shall be applied on account of
the unpaid principal balance of the Note, irrespective of whether such principal
balance is then due and payable.
IX. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Each of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" for purpose of
this Mortgage:
(A) Failure to make prompt payment, when due, of any payment of principal
or interest under the Note and such failure to pay remains unremedied
for a period of seven (7) days.

satisfaction and in its absolute discretion the existence or nonexistence of any
fact or facts, the existence or nonexistence of which is a condition, warranty
or covenant of this Mortgage or in any other loan documents.
XI. ACCELERATION AND DEFAULT RATE
If an Event of Default occurs, Mortgagee may, at its option, declare the

Mortgagee, the principal balance and accrued interest on the Note shall become
immediately due and payable, and any other sums secured hereby shall become
immediately due and payable. All sums coming due and payable hereunder shall
bear interest, after acceleration, at the Default Rate, which shall mean the

Mortgaged Property in whole or in part to the indebtedness secured
hereby or to any tax or special assessment which may be or become
