Mortgagor makes the Mortgage Covenants with the same effect as though they were herein set forth in full, except that the Property is subject to Permitted Encumbrances. Mortgagor is and shall remain the owner of the Mortgaged Property, and will not permit to be created thereon any liens, encumbrances, attachments, security interests, purchase money security interests, assignments, mortgages, pledges, charges or other liens or encumbrances except Permitted Encumbrances. Mortgagor has full power and lawful authority to Grant the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee, will preserve its title to the Mortgaged Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and will forever warrant and defend the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee against the claims of all persons. This Mortgage constitutes a valid first lien on the Mortgaged Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances.
Section 2.2. Condition of Property. The Property and Chattels are, and shall remain, in good repair, well maintained and in good working order, reasonable wear and tear expected. Mortgagor will make all necessary repairs, replacements, additions and improvements which may be required to keep the Property and Chattels in good repair and condition. Mortgagor will occupy the Property or use its commercially reasonable effort to cause the Property to be occupied at all times. Mortgagor shall not cause or permit to be suffered any waste, destruction or loss to the Property or Chattels or any part thereof.
Section 2.3. Alterations of Mortgaged Property. (a). Mortgagor may, at its expense, make additions to and alterations of the Property and Chattels, construct additional Improvements and make substitutions and replacements for the Improvements and Chattels provided that (i) to the extent that such improvements, substitutions or replacements cost in excess of $25,000 in any single occurrence and $50,000 in the aggregate until the Note is fully paid, Mortgagee has given its prior written consent, provided that if Mortgagee has not responded within 15 business days, it will be deemed to have consented, (ii) the market value of the Property and the Chattels will not be materially decreased, the character of the Property and Chattels will not be changed nor their usefulness adversely affected, (iii) the work shall be expeditiously performed and completed in workmanlike manner, and in accordance with applicable laws, permits and regulations, and (iv) no structural or exterior Improvements shall be demolished unless Mortgagor shall first have furnished Mortgagee with security, reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, to assure rebuilding or repair of such Improvements to their original condition, unless otherwise agreed, in writing, by Mortgagee. All additions, alterations, additional Improvements and Chattels,
5 |
substitutions and replacements shall be part of the Mortgaged Property subject to the lien hereof.
(b) Mortgagor may subdivide the Property as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, zoning regulations of the Town of Clinton, CT, provided that any such subdivision shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Mortgagee and its counsel and that Mortgagor may not sell, transfer or otherwise encumber in any way all or any portion of the Property except as permitted hereby.
Section 2.4. After-acquired Property. The interest of Mortgagor in all extensions, improvements, alterations and replacements of, and all additions and appurtenances to, the Mortgaged Property, hereafter acquired by Mortgagor, without any further Grant by Mortgagor, shall immediately become part of the Mortgaged Property and be subject to this lien with the same effect as though now owned by Mortgagor and specifically described in the Granting Clause.
Section 2.5. Insurance. (a) Mortgagor will maintain insurance on the Mortgaged Property as follows:
(i) Fire and extended coverage insurance, including vandalism and malicious mischief, broadened to the so-called “ISO Special Form” (or its equivalent) coverage basis (including if applicable, builder's risk, completed value non-reporting coverage including coverage for completion and occupancy) in an amount, after application of any deductibles acceptable to Mortgagee, of not less than 100% of the full replacement value of the Mortgaged Property at the time of issuance of such policy or policies and at each renewal date thereof, exclusive of land, excavations, foundations and other items normally excluded from such policies, but in no event less than the original principal amount of the Note. The amount of insurance shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor from becoming a co-insurer of any loss. Insurance shall include coverage for business interruption or loss of rents for all Leases for at least one year in the event of a casualty which coverage shall increase in accordance with any increases in rents; and
(ii) Comprehensive general public liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on or about the Property and adjoining streets and sidewalks, in the minimum amounts of $3,000,000 for bodily injury or death to any one person, $3,000,000 for any one accident, and $3,000,000 for property damage; and

(b) Every policy shall bear a mortgagee endorsement in favor of Mortgagee; and any loss under any policy shall be payable to Mortgagee to be held and applied pursuant to Section 2.8(b) and (c). Mortgagee shall also be included as a named insured on liability coverage. Every policy shall provide that it will not be canceled or materially modified except after thirty (30) days' written notice to Mortgagor and Mortgagee, and that it will not be invalidated by any act or neglect of Mortgagor, nor by use of the Property or Chattels for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the policy, nor by foreclosure or other proceedings relating to the Property, nor by a change in title to the Property or Chattels.
(c) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee with this Mortgage original duplicate policies of insurance satisfactory to Mortgagee. The policies shall be accompanied by proof that premiums were paid for the current policy year and shall evidence the existence of all insurance required to be maintained hereunder. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such insurance, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee new policies of insurance.
Mortgagor shall not obtain separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Section 2.5 unless Mortgagee is included as a named insured, with loss payable as provided herein. Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee whenever any separate insurance is obtained and shall deliver the separate policies to Mortgagee. If Mortgagor has in force a blanket policy providing coverage for the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagee shall accept a certified copy of the policy, including all forms and endorsements applicable to the Mortgaged Property, provided that the policy is written by a company reasonably approved by Mortgagee and legally qualified to issue such insurance in Connecticut and complies with provisions of this Section 2.5. The certified copy of the blanket policy shall specify the coverage and amounts applicable to the Mortgaged Property.
Section 2.6. Liens; Taxes and Other Payments. Mortgagor will cause to be done everything necessary to preserve the lien hereof without expense to Mortgagee, including paying and discharging all claims and demands of mechanics, laborers, materialmen and others which, if unpaid, might create a lien on the Mortgaged Property, and paying prior to when the same becomes delinquent (to the extent payment is not provided for in Section 2.7 hereof) all real and personal property taxes, assessments, charges, franchises, income, unemployment, old age benefits, withholding, sales and other taxes assessed against the Mortgaged Property or Mortgagor, and all insurance premiums related to the Mortgaged Property, subject, however, to Mortgagor’s right to contest the same by posting a bond or other security sufficient to cover the amount of the contested obligation or claim provided no lien or other encumbrance is placed upon
7 |
any of the Mortgaged Property. Upon the request of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee evidence of the payment by Mortgagor of all such items.
Section 2.7. Tax and Insurance Escrow. Mortgagee may, at its option, exercisable from time to time, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, require Mortgagor to deposit, at the time of each Installment Payment, an additional amount equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of the amount estimated by Mortgagee to be sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments against the Mortgaged Property, insurance premiums, or any other charges which may be imposed upon or assessed against the Mortgaged Property, the Chattels or the Mortgage, or which may arise in respect of the occupancy, use or possession of the Mortgaged Property or the Chattels. Such amounts shall be held by Mortgagee without liability to pay interest thereon, and on or before the dates on which they would become delinquent shall be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of such obligations as are determined by Mortgagee to be payable. If, within one month prior to the due date of any such obligations, the amount on deposit shall be insufficient to pay the obligations in full, Mortgagor shall, within ten (10) days after Mortgagee's demand, deposit with Mortgagee an amount sufficient to cover such deficiency.
Section 2.8. Condemnation and Casualty. (a) Mortgagor irrevocably assigns to Mortgagee all awards, compensation or payments to which Mortgagor may become entitled by reason of its interest in the Property (i) if the Improvements or Chattels are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or (ii) if title to the Property or Chattels or any part thereof is taken in any eminent domain proceeding or other proceeding instituted by any person having the power of eminent domain.

Mortgagor shall promptly give Mortgagee notice of any fire or other casualty or any proposed taking of all or any portion of the Property or Chattels. Mortgagor shall cooperate with Mortgagee in the negotiation of any proceeding and the amount of any awards, compensation or payments and shall take any action relating thereto requested by Mortgagee. Mortgagor will permit Mortgagee, at Mortgagee's option (if no Event of Default has occurred, after consultation with Mortgagor), to conduct the adjustment of each such award, compensation or payment without the participation of Mortgagor. Mortgagor appoints Mortgagee as Mortgagor's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to obtain, adjust and settle each such for award, compensation or payment and to endorse in favor of Mortgagee all drafts and other instruments with respect thereto. This appointment, coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until this Mortgage is terminated by written instrument executed by an authorized office of Mortgagee.
(b) If the Property or Chattels are destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, the Net Proceeds payable by reason of the casualty shall be paid to Mortgagee. In its sole discretion, Mortgagee may elect to (i) apply the Net Proceeds to prepay the Note in accordance with the terms of the Note, or (ii) hold the Net Proceeds in escrow, require Mortgagor to promptly repair the damage to the Property and/or Chattels, in a workmanlike manner, so as to restore the Mortgaged Property to its condition, use and market value immediately prior to such casualty, and release the Net
8 |
Proceeds as the work progresses in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (d) of this Section 2.8. If an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Net Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the proceeds of the casualty or condemnation are less than $25,000 in any single occurrence and $50,000 in the aggregate until the Note is fully paid, the Mortgagee shall disburse the funds directly to the Mortgagor for use in connection with restoration of the Property.
(c) If title to all or any portion of the Property or Chattels is taken in any eminent domain or other proceeding, the Net Proceeds attributable to the Property and Chattels shall be paid to Mortgagee. In its sole discretion, Mortgagee may elect to (i) apply the Net Proceeds to prepay the Note in accordance with its terms, or (ii) hold the Net Proceeds in escrow, require Mortgagor, to the extent possible, to promptly repair the damage to the Property and/or Chattels, in a workmanlike manner, so as to restore the Mortgaged Property to its condition, use and market value immediately prior to such taking, and release the Net Proceeds as the work progresses in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (d) of this Section 2.8. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Net Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the proceeds of the casualty or condemnation are less than $25,000 in any single occurrence and $50,000 in the aggregate until the Note is fully paid, the Mortgagee shall disburse the funds directly to the Mortgagor for use in connection with restoration of the Property.
(d) If the Net Proceeds received by Mortgagee pursuant to subparagraphs (b) or (c) above are made available to Mortgagor by Mortgagee for restoration, Mortgagor shall restore, repair, replace, and rebuild (hereinafter referred to as “Restoration”) the Mortgaged Property as nearly as possible to its market value, condition, use and character immediately prior to such damage or destruction. Mortgagee shall disburse portions of the Net Proceeds from time to time as Restoration is performed, upon the following conditions:

(vii) In the event the Net Proceeds at any time shall be insufficient to restore or rebuild the Property or Chattels, Mortgagor shall deposit promptly with Mortgagee funds which, together with the Net Proceeds, shall be sufficient to restore and rebuild the Property and Chattels;
(viii) In the event Mortgagor shall fail, within a reasonable time, to complete the Restoration, Mortgagee, at its sole option and at Mortgagor's cost and expense (first using Net Proceeds, if any, received by Mortgagor), may complete the Restoration or cause the Restoration to be completed for or on behalf of Mortgagor and for such purposes may do all necessary acts; and
(ix) If the Net Proceeds are made available by Mortgagee for Restoration, any surplus which may remain out of the Net Proceeds after payment of the cost of Restoration shall, at the option of Mortgagee, be applied to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note in accordance with its terms or be paid to any party entitled thereto and under the conditions that Mortgagee may require.
(e) Under no circumstances shall Mortgagee become obligated to take any action to restore the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof. Mortgagee shall not be obligated to see to the proper application of any funds held and released pursuant to subparagraph (d) above.

(e) Mortgagor hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend Mortgagee and hold Mortgagee and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, participants, and their respective heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and to pay and, if applicable, to reimburse the Indemnified Parties with respect to, any and all claims, injuries, losses, costs, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties by reason of or arising out of (and not resulting from Mortgagee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct): (i) the breach of any representation or undertaking of Mortgagor under this Section 2.13, or (ii) the Treatment of any Contaminant by Mortgagor or by any Lessee, licensee, concessionaire, manager, or other party occupying or using the Property or Chattels, or (iii) any release governed by the terms of this Section 2.13.

Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee in the event that any of the representations set forth in this Section 2.13 (g) are no longer true in any material respect at any time.
(h) Mortgagor covenants and agrees that all Leases, licenses and agreements of any kind hereafter executed by Mortgagor which permit any party to occupy, possess, or use in any way the Property or any part thereof, whether oral or written, shall include an express prohibition of the Treatment of any Contaminant upon, in, from or affecting the Property, and the failure to comply with such prohibition shall expressly constitute a default under any such Lease, license and agreement. All Leases, licenses and agreements to which Mortgagor is a party shall also expressly require that the parties to such Leases, licenses and agreements shall deliver upon request estoppel certificates to Mortgagor and to Mortgagee expressly stipulating whether any party to such Lease, license or agreement is engaged in or has engaged in the Treatment of any Contaminant upon, in, from or affecting the Property, and whether such party has caused a Release and whether, to the best of its knowledge, a Release has otherwise occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor and Peregrine Way of CT, LLC may use, store, transport and dispose of Contaminants, provided that such use, storage and disposal is in compliance with Environmental Law.

Mortgagor hereby waives all suretyship or similar defenses which might otherwise be available to it.

The execution and delivery of this Mortgage and of any other instruments executed in connection herewith constitutes a representation by Mortgagor and the individual(s) signing this Mortgage and said instruments that such execution and delivery are made with the authorization of Mortgagor, and that such execution and
16 |
delivery do bind Mortgagor and any successor to Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage and the Note secured hereby.

If a material, adverse change occurs in Mortgagor's business, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations Mortgagor shall promptly take action to remedy the same to the reasonable satisfaction of Mortgagee.
Section 2.21. Further Assurances. Mortgagor will, at its expense, cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered such further acts, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably required by Mortgagee for the better Granting of the Mortgaged Property hereby Granted or intended to be Granted, or which Mortgagor may become bound to Grant to Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intentions of this Mortgage.
Section 2.22. Recording. Mortgagor, upon the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, and for supplements and amendments, promptly thereafter, shall cause this Mortgage, each supplement and amendment hereto, and the financing statements pertaining to the Mortgaged Property (collectively, the “Recordable Documents”), to be filed, registered and recorded as may be required by law to publish notice thereof and

Mortgagor will cause to be paid (or will reimburse Mortgagee if it pays) all filing, registration and recording taxes and fees incident thereto and all expenses (including Mortgagee's reasonable attorneys' fees, if any), taxes and other charges in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery or acknowledgement of the Recordable Documents, any instruments of further assurance and the Note. The Mortgagee is expressly authorized to authenticate and to file or communicate to a filing office a financing statement or other record identifying the collateral subject to the liens and security interests granted in this Mortgage and any proceeds thereof or identifying such collateral as “all personal property” or “all assets” of the Mortgagor and naming the Mortgagor as “debtor” thereunder.

Section 4.2 Future Advances. This Mortgage is an Open-End Mortgage and the holder hereof shall have all of the rights, powers and privileges to which the holder thereof is entitled under law, and if further advances are made to Mortgagor by Mortgagee at any time prior to the full payment of this Mortgage, such advances, with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage with the same priority as the initial advance of principal under the Note when evidenced by promissory notes stating that such notes are secured hereby. At no time shall the principal amount of indebtedness secured by this Mortgage exceed the original amount of the Note nor shall the maturity of such further advances secured hereby extend beyond the time of repayment of the Note.

Section 4.5. Maximum Interest Payable. It is the intention of parties hereto to comply strictly with all applicable usury laws; and, accordingly, in no event and upon no contingency shall Mortgagee be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest, any interest, fees, charges, or other payments equivalent to interest, in excess of the maximum amount which may be charged from time to time under applicable law; and, in the event that any party ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby; and, if the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby and all interest thereon is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Mortgagor or other party lawfully entitled thereto. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any special contingency, exceeds the maximum which may be lawfully charged, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium, rather than as interest. Any provision hereof or of any other agreement between the parties hereto that operates to bind, obligate, or compel Mortgagor to pay interest in excess of such maximum rate, shall be construed to require the payment of the maximum rate only.
Section 4.6. Counterparts. This Mortgage may be executed in any number of counterparts and each shall be deemed to be an original. All such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 4.7. Successors and Assigns. All provisions of this Mortgage shall be binding upon Mortgagor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns. This provision shall not in any way be deemed a waiver by Mortgagee of any Event of Default provided for in this Mortgage. Mortgagee may assign all or any portion of this Loan or participate all or any portion of the Loan.
Section 4.8. Indemnification. Mortgagor shall indemnify, defend, and hold Mortgagee harmless of and from any claim (as well as from attorneys' reasonable fees and expenses in connection therewith) brought or threatened against Mortgagee by Mortgagor, any Guarantor or endorser of the Note, or any other person on account of the Mortgaged Property or on account of Mortgagee's relationship with Mortgagor or on account of Mortgagee's relationship with any Guarantor or endorser of the Note. This indemnification shall survive payment of the Note or termination, release or discharge executed by Mortgagee in favor of Mortgagor.
Section 4.9. Headings. The headings have been inserted for convenient reference and shall not define, limit or expand the express provisions of this Mortgage.
Section 4.10. Governing Law. This Mortgage shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut .
