Personalty, at any time, without the signature of Mortgagor.
Mortgagor will, however, at any time upon request of Mortgagee,

fees for the filing of such financing statements and for the
refiling thereof at the times required, in the opinion of
Mortgagee, by said Uniform Commercial Code. If the lien of this

all the right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any and

thereof by Mortgagor or the predecessors or successors in title of

Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
covering Fixtures and Personalty located on or used in connection
with the Land.
5. LEASES. The Mortgagor shall observe and perform all the
obligations imposed upon the Mortgagor under any lease of the
Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, and shall not do or
permit anything to be done, without the prior written consent of
the Mortgagee, which would impair the security of any such lease
to the Mortgagee, or, except where the lessee is in default
thereunder, terminate or consent to the cancellation or surrender
of any lease of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or
modify any such lease so as to shorten the unexpired term thereof
or so as to decrease the amount of the Rents payable thereunder.
The Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of any installments of
Rent to become due under such leases more than thirty (30) days in
advance, except prepayments in the nature of security for the
performance of the obligations of the lessee thereunder. The
Mortgagor warrants that no Rent reserved under any lease of the
Mortgaged Property has been previously assigned or anticipated,
and no rent for any period subsequent to the date hereof has been
collected more than thirty (30) days in advance of the due date
thereof. If any of such leases provide for the giving by the
lessee of estoppel certificates with respect to the status of such
leases, Mortgagor shall exercise its right to request such
estoppel certificates within five (5) days of any demand therefor
by Mortgagee.
6. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS. As additional security for the
obligations secured hereby, the Mortgagor hereby assigns to the
Mortgagee all of the Mortgagor's rights under any and all leases
or other arrangements for the use or occupancy of all of any part
of the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the
right to receive the Rents from the Mortgaged Property provided,
however, that the Mortgagor shall retain the right to receive and
enjoy the Rents and exercise its other rights under such leases
and other contractual arrangements for the use and/or occupancy of
the Mortgaged Property until the occurrence of an Event of Default
under this Mortgage. After an Event of Default, the Mortgagee
shall be entitled to modify, alter, amend and otherwise deal with
all such leases and other arrangements with the same power and
discretion which the Mortgagee would have if it were the Lessor or
obligee thereof, and the Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect
all of the Rents to collect and endorse any checks issued in the
name of the Mortgagor and to apply the same to the Indebtedness
and other charges outstanding under any of the Loan Documents.
Mortgagor hereby agrees to enter into any other agreement
requested by the Mortgagee to evidence further this assignment of
leases and rents described in this Section.
7. OTHER SECURITY INTERESTS AND EQUIPMENT LEASING. The Mortgagor
shall not permit, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee,
(i) the creation or continued existence, whether by voluntary
action or operation of law, of any security interest in or other
encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property other than the Permitted
Encumbrances or a lien for unpaid real estate taxes and betterment
assessments prior to the commencement of interest and penalties
thereon, or (ii) the leasing of any equipment to be used by the
Mortgagor at or in connection with the operation of the Mortgaged
Property, other than in the ordinary course of Mortgagor's
business. The Mortgagor shall notify the Mortgagee promptly of
the existence of and the terms of any security interest affecting
any portion of the Mortgaged Property and any lease of personal
property, except for those equipment leases made in the ordinary
course of Mortgagor's business, to be used by the Mortgagor at or
in connection with the operation of the Premises, whether now
existing or hereafter arising, shall make all payments that become
due to any secured party having any such security interest or to
any lessor of such equipment, and, at the request of the
Mortgagee, shall assign to the Mortgagee all of Mortgagor's right,
title and interest in and to any and all agreements evidencing
such security interest or lease. The Mortgagor hereby grants to
the Mortgagee full power and authority as attorney-in-fact of the
Mortgagor, which appointment is acknowledged by the parties hereto
to be coupled with an interest, to make, execute, acknowledge and
deliver such assignments. The Mortgagor represents that, except
for the Permitted Encumbrances, no such security interest or lease
presently exists.
8. INSURANCE. The Mortgagor agrees, at the Mortgagor's sole cost
and expense, to keep the Mortgaged Property insured at all times
throughout the term of this Mortgage with policies of insurance of
the type set forth below:
(a) Casualty Insurance. Physical hazard insurance on an "all
risks" basis including, without limitation, the hazards of
earthquake and collapse, with a full replacement cost endorsement
(including builder's risk during any period or periods of time
that construction or remodeling is being performed on the
Mortgaged Property), in an amount equal to 100% of the full
replacement cost of all Improvements (excluding only the
reasonable value of footings and foundations) and the Mortgagor's
contents therein, determined to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Mortgagee, and, in any event, in an amount sufficient to prevent
the Mortgagor from incurring any co-insurance liability. This
insurance policy shall be first payable in case of loss to the
Mortgagee by means of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts standard
non-contributory mortgagee clause and shall name Mortgagee as an
additional insured thereunder.
(b) Boiler Insurance. Policies of insurance against loss or
damage to the major components of the air-conditioning and/or
heating system, fly wheel, steam pipes, steam turbines, steam
engines, steam boilers, other pressure vessels, high-pressure
piping and machinery if any, such as are installed in the
buildings and improvements in an amount reasonably satisfactory to
the Mortgagee.
(c) Liability Insurance. Policies of comprehensive general
liability insurance on an occurrence basis against claims for
bodily injury and property damage with limits of liability
satisfactory to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor and the Mortgagee
shall be named as insureds under such policies as their interests
may appear.
(d) Workers' Compensation Insurance, Disability Benefits
Insurance, and such other form of insurance which the Mortgagor is
required by law to provide, covering loss resulting from injury,
sickness, disability or death of employees of Mortgagor who are
located at or assigned to the Land or who are responsible for the
construction of the Improvements.
(e) Business Interruption and/or Loss of Rental Value Insurance.
Business interruption and/or loss of rental insurance for a period
of twelve (12) months in such amounts as are reasonably
satisfactory to the Mortgagee.
(f) Flood Insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located in an
area designated by any governmental authority as an area of
special flood hazard, such insurance against damage caused by
flooding as the Mortgagee shall reasonably require.
(g) Additional Insurance. Insurance with respect to such other
insurable risks relating to the Mortgaged Property or the
Mortgagor in such amounts and containing such terms and conditions
as the Mortgagee may reasonably require from time to time.
No insurance shall be blanketed with insurance on other properties
without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld. The Mortgagor shall deposit all
insurance policies (or certificates thereof acceptable to the
Mortgagee) providing coverage applicable to the Mortgaged
Property, whether or not required by this Mortgage, with the
Mortgagee forthwith after the binding of such insurance, and shall
deliver to the Mortgagee new policies (or certificates thereof
acceptable to the Mortgagee) for any insurance about to expire at
least thirty (30) days before such expiration. All such insurance
policies shall be written by such companies on such terms and in
such form and for such periods and amounts as the Mortgagee shall
from time to time designate or approve, shall be primary and
without right of contribution from any other insurance which may
be available, shall waive any right of set-off, counterclaim,
subrogation, or any deduction in respect of any liability of the
Mortgagor and the Mortgagee, shall provide that, with respect to
the Mortgagee, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any
action or inaction by the Mortgagor including, without limitation,
any defect in any representations made by the Mortgagor in the
procurement of such insurance, and shall provide that the
insurance policies may not be cancelled or amended without at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Mortgagee. The
Mortgagor hereby grants the Mortgagee full power and authority as
attorney-in-fact of the Mortgagor, which appointment is
acknowledged by the parties hereto to be coupled with an interest,
to cancel or transfer such insurance, to collect and endorse any
checks issued in the name of the Mortgagor and to retain any
premium and to apply the same against the Indebtedness and other
charges outstanding under the Loan Documents.
9. MAINTENANCE AND ALTERATIONS. The Mortgagor shall maintain the
Mortgaged Property at all times in as good repair and condition as
the same now is or may hereafter be put, damage from casualty
expressly not excepted. The Mortgagor shall not take any action,
or permit any condition or activity, which could diminish the
value of the Mortgaged Property or invalidate any insurance
required to be provided under this Mortgage. The Mortgagor shall
not remove or alter or demolish any of the Improvements,
equipment, appliances, furnishing and Fixtures constituting part
of the Mortgaged Property without the prior written consent of the
Mortgagee and without promptly replacing any such item with an
item of equivalent utility and value. Upon notice at least 24
hours in advance of Mortgagee's inspection, the Mortgagor shall

purpose of inspecting the condition of the Mortgaged Property and
determining the Mortgagor's compliance with the covenants
contained herein.

any violation of any law, by-law, ordinance, public or private
restriction, regulation, order or code (including without
limitation, any rule or order of any Board of Fire Underwriters)
affecting the Mortgaged Property or the use thereof or take any
action or permit any condition or activity which could invalidate
any license or permit needed for the use and occupancy of the
Mortgaged Property. Additionally, Mortgagor warrants and
represents that:
(a) Mortgagor has not committed any act or omission and is not,
to the best of its knowledge, aware of any action or omission by
any prior owner that would cause the Mortgaged Property to be
subject to forfeiture pursuant to any Federal or State law, rule
or regulation; and
(b) the Mortgaged Property has not been acquired with any proceeds
from a transaction or an activity that would cause the Mortgaged
Property to be subject to such forfeiture.
Mortgagor covenants that Mortgagor will not use, operate or
occupy, and will not permit any third party to use operate or
occupy the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, for any
purpose or activity that may give rise to such a forfeiture of the
Mortgaged Property.
11. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. The Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be
paid, not later than the last day upon which payment may be made
without penalty or interest, all Impositions, whether or not
assessed against the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee whether or not
assessed pursuant to the authority adopted before or after the
date of this Mortgage, if applicable or related in any way to the
Mortgaged Property, any interest in the Mortgaged Property of the
Mortgagor or the Mortgagee or the debt, obligations or performance
secured hereby, or the disbursement or application of the proceeds
therefrom excluding, however, any income or corporation excise tax
of the Mortgagee. If, at any time, the Mortgagee does not require
the escrow of payments for the Impositions, the Mortgagor shall
furnish to the Mortgagee receipted real estate tax bills for the
Mortgaged Property not later than ten (10) days after the date
from which any interest or penalty would accrue for non-payment
thereof unless such Imposition is being challenged, in good faith
by Mortgagor. The Mortgagor shall also furnish to the Mortgagee
evidence and payment of all other Impositions within fifteen (15)
days after written request therefor by the Mortgagee. If the
Mortgagor is not permitted by applicable law to pay any Imposition
or the payment of such Imposition would violate any usury law
applicable to the transaction contemplated hereby and by the other
Loan Documents, then, at the option of the Mortgagee, the
Indebtedness and other charges outstanding under the Loan
Documents shall become due and payable on the date specified by
written notice given by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor, which date
shall be at least thirty (30) days after the date of such notice.
If requested by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor shall pay to the
Mortgagee monthly, on the first day of each month, a sum
reasonably determined by the Mortgagee to be sufficient to provide
in the aggregate a fund adequate to pay each Imposition at least
thirty (30) days before it becomes delinquent, and, in addition,
shall pay to the Mortgagee, on demand, any balance necessary to
pay in full each Imposition at least ten (10) days before the date
on which it becomes due and payable. If such request is made by
Mortgagee, such sums must be applied by the Mortgagee to the
payment of the Impositions. The Mortgagor shall furnish to the
Mortgagee all original bills relating to any Impositions promptly
upon request by Mortgagee.
The Mortgagor shall have the right, after giving written notice to
the Mortgagee and subject to the conditions stated below, to
contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount or validity of
any Imposition. In no event shall the Mortgagor be entitled to
delay payment of any Imposition if the delay in payment would
subject any portion of the Mortgaged Property to possible
foreclosure or, in any event, unless the Mortgagor deposits with
the Mortgagee a sum of money or such other security as the
Mortgagee deems reasonable to cover the amount of any such
Imposition plus any interest or penalty that may become due as a
result of such contest.
12. FILING FEES/TAXES.
(a) Mortgagor will pay all taxes, filing fees and other charges,
in connection with any transfer of the Mortgaged Property by the
Mortgagor or the Mortgagee, including the making or satisfaction
of this Mortgage, the taking of any action permitted to be taken
hereunder by the Mortgagee, the granting of a deed or assignment
in lieu of foreclosure, the appointment of a receiver or any
transfer pursuant to any sale of the Mortgaged Property on a
foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, or the removal of
any prior or subordinate mortgage.
(b) The provisions of this Section shall survive any sale of the
Premises on a foreclosure of this Mortgage or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure.
13. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. The Mortgagor shall furnish
information concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee may
reasonably request together with financial statements of the owner
of the Mortgaged Property and any guarantors and endorsers and, if
requested, shall furnish such information on a periodic basis
without additional requests. Any financial statements required
herein shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted
principles of accounting, consistently applied, shall be in form
and substance satisfactory to the Mortgagee, and, if requested by
the Mortgagee, shall be certified by an independent public
accountant satisfactory to the Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Mortgagor shall provide the Mortgagee with
Mortgagor's complete Federal and State tax returns (together with
all relevant schedules) and a financial statement at such times
and in a form required by the Note.
14. TRANSFERS. The Mortgagor shall not suffer or permit a change,
whether affected by voluntary act or by operation of law, in the
legal or direct or indirect beneficial ownership of (i) the
Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, or (ii) any interest
in the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor shall not enter into any lease or
combination of leases or other arrangements which have the effect
of transferring to any other person or affiliated group the right
to own, use or occupy all or substantially all of the Mortgaged
Property without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee. The
Mortgagee may, without notice to the Mortgagor, deal with the
Mortgagor's successor or successors in interest with reference to
this Mortgage and the Indebtedness in the same manner as with the
Mortgagor without in any way releasing, discharging or modifying
the Mortgagor's liability or obligations with respect to this
Mortgage or the Indebtedness. No transfer of any interest in any
part of the Mortgaged Property shall operate to release,
discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of the
Mortgagor, or the priority of this Mortgage, either in whole or in
part.
15. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION-AWARD.
(a) Notice to Mortgagee. In the case of any act or occurrence of
any kind or nature which results in damage, loss or destruction to
the Mortgaged Property ("Casualty"), or commencement of any
proceedings or actions which might result in a condemnation or
other taking for public or private use of the Mortgaged Property
or which relates to injury, damage, benefit or betterment thereto
("Taking"), Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee describing
the nature and the extent of the Taking or the Casualty, as the
case may be. Mortgagor shall promptly furnish to Mortgagee copies
of all notices, pleadings, determinations and other papers in any
such proceedings or negotiations.
(b) Repair and Replacement. In case of a Casualty or Taking,
Mortgagor shall promptly (at Mortgagor's sole cost and expense and
regardless of whether the Insurance Proceeds or the Taking
Proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient or made available to
Mortgagee for the purpose) restore, repair, replace and rebuild
the Mortgaged Property as nearly as possible to its quality,
utility value, condition, and character immediately prior to the
Casualty or the Taking, as the case may be. However, upon a
Casualty or Taking resulting in a restoration cost that exceeds
25% of the then replacement value of the Improvements or a Taking
of more than 25% of the area of the Land, and application by
Mortgagee of the Insurance Proceeds or the Taking Proceeds to
reduction of the Indebtedness in accordance with this Mortgage,
Mortgagor shall be obligated only to remove any debris from the
Mortgaged Property and take such actions as are necessary to make
the undamaged or non-taken portion of the Mortgaged Property into
a functional economic unit insofar as it is possible under the
circumstances.
(c) Insurance Proceeds and Taking Proceeds.
(i) Collection. Mortgagor shall use its best efforts to collect
the maximum amount of insurance proceeds payable on account of any
Casualty ("Insurance Proceeds"), and the maximum award, payment or
compensation payable on account of any Taking ("Taking Proceeds").
In case of a Casualty, Mortgagee may, in its sole unfettered
discretion, make proof of loss to the insurer, if not made
promptly by Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall not settle or otherwise
compromise any claim for Insurance Proceeds or Taking Proceeds
without giving Mortgagee notice thereof at least 10 days in
advance.
(ii) Assignment to Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby assigns, sets
over and transfers to Mortgagee all Insurance Proceeds and Taking
Proceeds and authorizes payment of such Insurance Proceeds and
Taking Proceeds to be made directly to Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall
apply the Insurance Proceeds and Taking Proceeds first to pay all
reasonable expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the
Casualty or Taking, including, without limitation, attorney's fees
and title fees. Unless Paragraph (d) regarding Insurance Proceeds
applies, Mortgagee may, in its sole unfettered discretion, apply
the balance of such Insurance Proceeds or Taking Proceeds ("Net
Proceeds") to either of the following, or any combination thereof:
(aa) payment of the Indebtedness, either in whole or in party, in
any order determined by Mortgagee in its sole unfettered
discretion;
(bb) repair or replacement, either partly or entirely, of any part
of the Mortgaged Property so destroyed, damaged or taken, in which
case Mortgagee may impose such terms, conditions and requirements
for the disbursement of the Insurance Proceeds or the Taking
Proceeds as it, in its sole unfettered discretion, deems
advisable. Mortgagee shall not be a trustee with respect to any
Insurance Proceeds or Taking Proceeds, and may commingle Insurance
Proceeds or Taking Proceeds with its funds without obligation to
pay interest thereon.
If any portion of the Indebtedness shall thereafter be unpaid,
Mortgagor shall not be excused from the payment thereof in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Mortgagee shall
not, in any event or circumstance, be liable or responsible for
failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any
Insurance Proceeds or Taking Proceeds.
(d) Disbursement of Insurance Proceeds to Mortgagor. Mortgagee
will disburse the Insurance Proceeds to Mortgagor provided: (i)
there exists no Event of Default or occurrence or facts which with
the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, will be an
Event of Default which remains uncured at any time before or
during the Restoration; (ii) the Casualty does not occur within
nine months of the Maturity Date; and (iii) the conditions in this
Paragraph 15 are satisfied.
As to any loss or damage which Mortgagee estimates can be repaired
for less that 1/2 of 1% of the then Indebtedness, Mortgagee shall
disburse to Mortgagor from the Net Proceeds the amount which it
determines is necessary to repair the damage, which amounts shall
be used by Mortgagor to restore the damage to the Mortgaged
Property caused by the Casualty.
As to all other Casualties, Mortgagee shall disburse the Net
Proceeds related thereto to Mortgagor on the following terms and
conditions:
(i) Prior to the first and each subsequent disbursement, Mortgagor
shall give proof satisfactory to the Mortgagee that:
(aa) Mortgagee is holding a fund comprised of the Net Proceeds
and, if necessary, additional deposits made by Mortgagor
sufficient to restore the Property to its condition and use
required of Mortgagor under the terms of the Leases
("Restoration"), together with a fund comprised of Net Proceeds or
funds deposited by Mortgagor, sufficient to pay operating
expenses, Property Taxes and Charges, the Monthly Payments (as
defined in the Note) and other so-called "carrying costs" of the
Mortgaged Property during the period of Restoration;
(bb) there are no laws preventing Restoration of the Mortgaged
Property;
(cc) the Restoration will be conducted under the supervision of
an architect, engineer and/or a general contractor selected by and
paid by Mortgagor and approved by Mortgagee;
(dd) the Restoration will be performed pursuant to plans and
specifications approved by Mortgagee and by a contractor or
contractors approved by Mortgagee; and
(ee) the Mortgaged Property, after such Restoration, shall be in
compliance with applicable laws.
(ii) With respect to each disbursement and accompanying each
request therefor, there shall be delivered to Mortgagee:
(aa) a certificate addressed to Mortgagee and executed by
Mortgagor and by the architect, engineer or general contractor
supervising the Restoration that such disbursement is to pay for
costs of the Restoration not paid previously by any other prior
disbursement, that the amount of such disbursement does not exceed
the aggregate of such costs incurred or paid on account of work,
labor or services performed and materials installed in or stored
upon the Mortgaged Property at the date of such certificate and
that the disbursement requested, together with the disbursements
made prior thereto, collectively, as a percentage of the total Net
Proceeds, do not exceed the percentage of completion of the
Restoration; and
(bb) an endorsement to Mortgagee's title insurance policy, in
which the making of the disbursement is recognized and the
effective date of coverage is changed to the date of disbursement.
(iii) Each disbursement shall be in the amount not greater than
90% of the costs described in the certificate referred to in
Paragraph (d)(ii)(aa) hereof. Disbursement of the final balance
of the Net Proceeds, constituting not less than ten percent (10%)
thereof, shall be disbursed only upon delivery to Mortgagee of the
following, in addition to the foregoing:
(aa) evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that all claims then
existing for labor, services and materials enforceable by lien
upon the Mortgaged Property have been paid in full or provision
acceptable to Mortgagee has been made therefor;
(bb) a certificate of such architect, engineer or general
contractor that the Restoration of the Mortgaged Property has been
completed in a good workmanlike manner and in accordance with all
laws;
(cc) an estoppel affidavit in form satisfactory to Mortgagee from
each tenant occupying or leasing space in the Mortgaged Property
affected by the Casualty; and
(dd) an as-built survey of the Improvements certified to
Mortgagee and in form satisfactory to Mortgagee.
(iv) Mortgagor shall complete the Restoration within 180 days of
the Casualty subject to delay beyond Mortgagor's control other
than lack of funds. If Mortgagor does not complete the
Restoration within such time, Mortgagee, at its option, may
restore the Mortgaged Property for and on Mortgagor's behalf and
may do any act or thing as Mortgagee deems necessary or
appropriate to that end and the expenses of Restoration in excess
of Net Proceeds shall be borne by Mortgagor.
(v) If the quality of the Restoration is at least equal to the
quality of the Improvements before the Casualty, any Net Proceeds
in excess of the amount used in payment of the Restoration shall
be distributed to Mortgagor.
Mortgagee shall not be a trustee with respect to any Insurance
Proceeds and may mingle Insurance Proceeds with its funds without
obligation to pay interest thereon. Mortgagee shall in no event
be liable for the performance or observance of any covenant or
condition arising under any lease in connection with the Mortgaged
Property nor obligated to take any action to restore the Mortgaged
Property.
16. HAZARDOUS WASTE AND SUBSTANCES; OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
AND ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, STANDARDS AND REGULATION. Mortgagor shall
comply with all laws, governmental standards and regulations
applicable to Mortgagor or to the Mortgaged Property in respect of
occupational health and safety, hazardous wastes and substances
and the environment. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of
its receipt of any notice of violation of or non-compliance with
any such law, standard or regulation.
Mortgagor covenants that it shall not unlawfully "release" or
cause an unlawful "threat of release" of any "hazardous materials"
or "oil" (as such terms are defined in the Massachusetts Oil and
Hazardous Material Release Prevention and Response Act, Chapter
21E of the Massachusetts General Laws) on the Mortgaged Property
or on any other property in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
whether or not owned by the Mortgagor. Furthermore, Mortgagor
covenants, and it shall be a further condition of this Mortgage:
(a) that Mortgagor will not incur due to its acts or omissions
during the term of this Mortgage any liability to the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts under such Act on the Mortgaged Property or
elsewhere;
(b) that no lien on the Mortgaged Property will arise due to the
acts or omissions of Mortgagor during the term of this Mortgage
under such Act;
(c) that no portion of the Mortgaged Property during the term of
this Mortgage shall be used for the generation, storage,
treatment, use, transport or disposal of any substance for which a
license is required by Chapter 21C of the Massachusetts General
Laws, viz, so-called hazardous wastes except for customary
quantities in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations;
In furtherance of the foregoing, Mortgagor covenants and agrees to
take all steps necessary in order to prevent any such lien from
attaching to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.
Mortgagor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless
from all loss, costs, damage, claim and expense incurred by
Mortgagee on account of Mortgagor's failure to perform the
obligations of this Section or arising out of or in any way
connected with the application to the Mortgaged Property or any
part thereof of any current or future legislation related to the
presence of any hazardous waste or materials upon the Mortgaged
Property. The preceding sentence shall not constitute a
limitation on any similar or additional rights to indemnity in
favor of Mortgagee, whether or not same exist hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents, and whether existing at law or
equity.
17. EVENT OF DEFAULT. The Indebtedness and all other charges due
under the Note, this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall
become due, at the option of Mortgagee, if one or more of the
following events (an "Event of Default") shall occur:
(a) Mortgagor fails to pay any interest or principal when due or
within applicable grace and cure periods, if any, provided in the
Note;
(b) breach of any covenant contained in the sections herein
entitled "Insurance", "Transfers", and "Taxes and Assessments";
(c) breach of any other covenant, condition or agreement contained
herein and in the Loan Documents remaining uncured for a period in
excess of ten (10) days after Mortgagee has provided Mortgagor
with written notice of such breach; provided that in a case of any
breach which is susceptible to cure but cannot be cured within ten
(10) days through the exercise of reasonable diligence, so long as
the Mortgagor commences such cure within such ten (10) day period,
such breach remains susceptible to cure, and the Mortgagor
diligently pursues such cure, such breach shall not be deemed to
create an Event of Default hereunder;
(d) The actual or threatened removal, demolition or structural
alteration, in whole or in part, of any Improvement, without the
prior written consent of Mortgagee; or the removal, demolition or
destruction in whole or in part, of any Fixtures without replacing
the same with Fixtures at least equal in quality and condition to
those replaced, free from any security interest or other
encumbrance thereon and free from any reservation of title
thereto; or the commission of any waste in respect to the
Mortgaged Property; or
(e) breach of any other covenant, condition or agreement in any
loan document or in any other mortgage, debt or obligation of or
from the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee or in any other mortgage or
instrument which constitutes a lien on all or any part of the
Mortgaged Property;
(f) failure of the Mortgagor to cause to be dismissed any
proceeding against the Mortgagor, and, if applicable, any holder
of a general partnership interest in the Mortgagor, any guarantor
of any of the Obligations or any endorser of the Note (the
Mortgagor and, if applicable, any such general partner, guarantor
or endorser hereinafter referred to as an "Obligor") under any law
relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or relief of
debtors, within ninety (90) days from the date upon which such
proceeding is filed or instituted, or the filing or other
institution of a proceeding by any Obligor under any such law;
(g) failure of an Obligor to cause to be dismissed a proceeding
for the enforcement of a money judgement under the Laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and which materially affects the
financial condition of Mortgagor, instituted against said Obligor
within thirty (30) days from the date upon which such proceeding
is filed or instituted unless such proceeding is contested in good
faith by the Obligor and bonded or otherwise secured to
Mortgagee's satisfaction;
(h) the liquidation, termination, dissolution, merger or a
consolidation of any Obligor which is not an individual, the
insolvency of any Obligor or the inability of any Obligor to pay
such Obligor's debts when due;
(i) failure of Mortgagor to pay within fifteen (15) days after
notice and demand any filing or refiling fees required hereunder;
or
(j) material inaccuracy of any statement, representation or
warranty made by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee in this Mortgage
or in any Loan Document, or any instrument or statement submitted
to the Mortgagee by an Obligor, and which results in any loss or
damage to the Mortgagee.
18. STATUTORY POWER OF SALE. This Mortgage is upon the STATUTORY
CONDITION and upon the further condition that all covenants and
agreements on the part of Mortgagor herein undertaken shall be
kept and fully and seasonably performed and that no breach of any
other of the conditions specified herein shall be permitted, for
any breach of which covenants or conditions, Mortgagee shall have
the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE.
19. APPLICATION OF DEPOSITS AFTER DEFAULT. If the Mortgagor shall
default in the performance or observance of any covenant or
agreement contained herein or in the Note or other Loan Documents,
the Mortgagee may apply any deposit, payment or any sum due from
the Mortgagee to any Obligor toward the Indebtedness and other
charges outstanding under the Loan Documents without first
enforcing any other rights of the Mortgagee against any Obligor or
against the Mortgaged Property.
20. SEPARATE FORECLOSURE SALES AND WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. The
Mortgagee may sell the Mortgaged Property and other security in
one lot or in parts or parcels. Such sales may be held from time
to time by public sale and the power of sale herein given to the
Mortgagee shall not be fully executed until all of the Mortgaged
Property and other security not previously sold shall have been
sold. If surplus proceeds are realized from such a foreclosure
sale, the Mortgagee shall not be liable for any interest thereon
pending distribution of such proceeds to the Mortgagor by the
Mortgagee. Any separate items of property sold together for a
single price may be accounted for in one account without
distinction between the items of security or without assigning to
them any proportion of such proceeds. The Mortgagor hereby waives
the application of any doctrine of marshalling of assets.
The Mortgagor agrees that the requirement of the Uniform
Commercial Code with respect to personal property that a secured
party give a debtor reasonable notice of any proposed sale or
disposition of the collateral shall be met if such notice is given
to Mortgagor at least five (5) days before such time of sale or
disposition.
21. COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS. After an Event of Default, the
Mortgagee may communicate with account debtors in order to verify
the existence, amount and terms of any accounts or contract rights
and to notify account debtors of the Mortgagee's security interest
in their accounts. When requested by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor
shall notify account debtors and indicate on all xxxxxxxx that
payments are to be made directly to the Mortgagee. After an
Event of Default, the Mortgagee may require that payments on
accounts be made directly to the Mortgagee and the Mortgagee shall
have full power to collect, compromise, endorse, sell or otherwise
deal with the accounts or proceeds thereof and to perform the
terms of any contract in order to create accounts in the
Mortgagee's name or in the name of the Mortgagor with respect to
the business conducted with respect to and at the location of the
Mortgaged Property.
22. APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. Mortgagee, in any action to
foreclose this Mortgage, shall be entitled, without notice and as
a matter of right and without regard to the adequacy of any
security for the Indebtedness or the solvency of Mortgagor, upon
application to any court of competent jurisdiction, to the
appointment of a receiver of the rents, issues and profits of the
Mortgaged Property.
23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE MORTGAGOR AND THE MORTGAGEE EACH
HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH
RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF THIS MORTGAGE,
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE LOAN, OR THE VALIDITY, PROTECTION,
INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF, OR THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE AS BORROWER AND
LENDER, OR ANY OTHER CLAIM OR DISPUTE HOWEVER ARISING BETWEEN THE
MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE.
24. INTEREST TO ACCRUE. If the outstanding Indebtedness shall
either mature or become due because of an acceleration by the
Mortgagee of the Mortgagor's obligation to repay the Indebtedness
caused by an Event of Default, then interest on the Indebtedness
shall continue to accrue at the Default Rate, as defined in the
Note, until paid in full.
25. EFFECT OF RELEASES AND WAIVERS. Any failure by Mortgagee to
insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the
covenants, terms and provisions of this Mortgage or any of the
other Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of
the covenants, terms and provisions of this Mortgage or any of the
Loan Documents, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure,
shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict
performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the covenants, terms
and provisions of this Mortgage and any of the Loan Documents.
Neither Mortgagor nor any other person or entity now or hereafter
obligated for the payment of the whole or any part of the
Indebtedness shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of (i)
the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request of Mortgagor,
or of any other person or entity so obligated, (ii) the failure of
Mortgagee to take action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise
enforce any of the covenants, terms and provisions of this
Mortgage or any of the Loan Documents, (iii) the release,
regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the
security held for payment of the Indebtedness and the performance
of all other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, or (iv) any agreement or stipulation between the
Mortgagee and any subsequent owner or owners of the equity of
redemption in the Mortgaged Property modifying the covenants,
terms and provisions of this Mortgage or the Note without first
having obtained the consent of Mortgagor or such other person or
entity. In the last mentioned event, Mortgagor and all such other
persons or entities shall continue to be liable to make such
payments according to the terms and provisions of the Mortgage as
amended, unless expressly released and discharged of record by
Mortgagee. Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration,
any part of the security held for payment of the Indebtedness and
performance of the Obligations without, as to the remainder of the
security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of this
Mortgage or the priority of such lien over any subordinate lien.
Mortgagee may resort for the payment of the Indebtedness and
performance of the Obligations to any other security therefor held
by Mortgagee, in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect.
26. MORTGAGEE RIGHT TO CURE AND EXPENSES. The Mortgagee shall be
entitled, but not obligated, to cure any failure of the Mortgagor
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and to commence,
intervene in or otherwise participate in any legal or equitable
proceeding which, in the Mortgagee's sole judgement, affects the
Mortgaged Property or any rights or obligations created or secured
by this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. If the Mortgagee
shall become involved in any action or course of conduct with
respect to the Note, this Mortgage, any of the other Loan
Documents, the Mortgaged Property or other security for the
Indebtedness and the Obligations in order to protect its interest
therein or to cure any default of the Mortgagor hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents, the Mortgagor shall, on demand,
reimburse the Mortgagee for all charges, cost and expenses
incurred by the Mortgagee in connection therewith, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees. All such charges
incurred through the operation of this paragraph, together with
interest thereon as described in this paragraph, shall be added to
the outstanding Indebtedness and shall be secured by the Loan
Documents.
27. INTERVENING LIENS. Should any agreement be hereafter entered
into modifying or changing the terms of any Loan Document, the
rights of the parties to such agreement shall be superior to the
rights of the holder of any intervening lien.
28. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies herein afforded
to Mortgagee and its successors and assigns shall be cumulative
and supplementary to and not exclusive of any other rights and
remedies which the Mortgagee and its successors and assigns may
have under the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity.
29. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Mortgagor agrees to execute and cause
to be filed or recorded, and hereby appoints the Mortgagee its
duly authorized attorney-in-fact, which appointment is
acknowledged by the parties hereto to be coupled with an interest
and is irrevocable, with full power of substitution and with
authority to execute, file and record on behalf of the Mortgagor,
all instruments from time to time deemed by the Mortgagee to be
necessary or appropriate to evidence further the obligations of
the Mortgagor pursuant to or secured by this Mortgage or the other
Loan Documents, or to secure further to the Mortgagee the security
intended to be provided by this Mortgage. Mortgagor will pay all
costs, expenses and fees incurred as a result of the operation of
this paragraph.
30. STATEMENT OF AMOUNT DUE. Mortgagor, within five (5) days upon
request in person or within fifteen (15) days upon request by
mail, will furnish a written statement duly acknowledged of the
amount due on this Mortgage and whether any offsets or defenses
exist against the Indebtedness.
31. NOTICES. Any notices required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be: (i) personally delivered or (ii) given by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, or (iii) forwarded by overnight courier service, in
each instance addressed to the addressee at the address for such
party set forth at the head of this Mortgage, or such other
address as each may designate in writing to the other. All
notices given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed
given, in the case of notice by personal delivery, upon actual
delivery, and in the case of mail or courier service, upon
deposit with the U.S. Postal Service or delivery to the courier
service.
32. TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to
each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of Mortgagor
under this Mortgage, the Note and any and all other Loan
Documents.
33. INDEMNIFICATION; SUBROGATION; WAIVER OF OFFSET.
(a) Mortgagor shall indemnify, defend and hold Mortgagee harmless
against: (i) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or
similar fees which may be made relating to the Mortgaged Property
or the Loan, and (ii) against any and all liability, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, and
expenses (including its reasonable attorneys' fees, together with
reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) of whatever kind or
nature which may be imposed on or incurred by Mortgagee at any
time pursuant either to a judgement or decree or other order
entered into by a court or administrative agency or to a
settlement reasonably approved by Mortgagor, which judgment,
decree, order or settlement relates in any way to or arises out of
the offer, sale or lease of the Mortgaged Property and/or the
ownership, use, occupation or operation of any portion of the
Mortgaged Property, unless such judgment or decree arises from
Mortgagee's negligence after Mortgage takes control of the
Mortgaged Property.
(b) If Mortgagee is made a party defendant to any litigation
concerning the Loan instituted by an individual or entity not
party to the Loan Documents, this Mortgage, the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or the
occupancy thereof, then Mortgagor shall indemnify, defend and hold
Mortgagee harmless from all liability by reason of said
litigation, including reasonable attorneys' fees (together with
reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred
by Mortgagee in any such litigation, whether or not any such
litigation is prosecuted to judgment. If Mortgagee commences an
action against Mortgagor to enforce any of the terms hereof or to
prosecute any breach by Mortgagor of any of the terms hereof or to
recover any sum secured hereby, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee
such reasonable attorneys' fees (together with reasonable
appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses so incurred. The
right to such attorneys fees (together with reasonable appellate
counsel fees, if any) and expenses shall be deemed to have accrued
on the commencement of such action, and shall be enforceable
whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. If
Mortgagor breaches any term of this Mortgage, Mortgagee may
employ an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder,
and in the event of such employment following any breach by
Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall pay Mortgagee reasonable attorneys'
