Section 1-3.                      First Lien.  The lien created by this Mortgage is a first and prior lien on the Mortgaged Premises and Mortgagor will keep the Mortgaged Premises and the rights, privileges and appurtenances thereto free from all lien claims of every kind whether superior, equal, or inferior to the lien of this Mortgage subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and if any such lien be filed, Mortgagor, within twenty (20) days after such filing shall cause same to be discharged by payment, bonding or otherwise to the satisfaction of Mortgagee.  Xxxxxxxxx further agrees to protect and defend the title and possession of the Mortgaged Premises so that this Mortgage shall be and remain a first lien thereon until said debt be fully paid, or if foreclosure shall be had hereunder so that the purchaser at said sale shall acquire good title in fee simple to the Mortgaged Premises free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except the Permitted Encumbrances.

Section 1-4.                      Due on Sale or Encumbrance.

(a)           In the event Mortgagor directly or indirectly sells, conveys, transfers, disposes of, or further encumbers all or any part of the Mortgaged Premises or any interest therein, or in the event any ownership interest in Mortgagor (including without limitation voting rights in respect thereof) is directly or indirectly issued, transferred or encumbered, or in the event Mortgagor or any owner of Mortgagor agrees so to do, in any case without the written consent of Mortgagee being first obtained (which consent Mortgagee may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion), then, at the sole option of Mortgagee, Mortgagee may accelerate the Loan and declare the principal of and the accrued interest of the Note, and including all sums advanced hereunder with interest, to be forthwith due and payable, and thereupon the Note, including both principal and all interest accrued thereon, and including all sums advanced hereunder and interest xxxxxxx, shall be and become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand or further notice of any kind.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a merger, consolidation, reorganization, entity conversion or other restructuring or transfer by operation of law, whereunder Mortgagor or, in the case of an ownership interest, the holder of an ownership interest in Mortgagor, is not the surviving entity as such entity exists on the date hereof, shall be deemed to be a transfer of the Mortgaged Premises or of an ownership interest in Mortgagor; and any transfer of an ownership interest in a general or limited partnership, corporation or limited liability company holding an ownership interest in Mortgagor shall be deemed to be a transfer of such ownership interest in Mortgagor.  Consent as to any one transaction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to future or successive transactions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, there shall be no subordinate financing relating to the Mortgaged Premises.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred and is then continuing, one transfer or conveyance of the Mortgaged Premises to a transferee approved by Mortgagee in its sole and absolute discretion shall be permitted upon (i) execution by the transferee of an assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee; (ii) receipt by Mortgagee of a non-refundable fee equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding amount of the Note at the time of such transfer and assumption; (iii) receipt by Mortgagee of an endorsement to Mortgagee’s title policy, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee; and (iv) receipt by Mortgagee of opinions of counsel, and authorization documents of Xxxxxxxxx and the transferee, reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee.  Further, Mortgagee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may require individuals who are principals of the transferee, specifically named by Mortgagee to deliver to Mortgagee an Environmental Indemnification Agreement on Mortgagee’s standard form.  The rights granted to Mortgagor in this paragraph are personal to the original Mortgagor, shall be extinguished after the exercise thereof, and shall not inure to the benefit of any transferee.  Any such transfer and assumption will not release the original Mortgagor or any guarantor from any liability to Mortgagee without the written consent of Mortgagee, which consent may be given or withheld in Mortgagee’s sole and absolute discretion and may be conditioned upon the execution of new guaranties from the principals of the transferee, execution by the principals of the transferee of Mortgagee’s standard Environmental Indemnification Agreement, and such other requirements as Mortgagee may deem appropriate in its discretion.

(c)           Additionally, and notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing and so long as GTJ REIT, Inc. (or its wholly owned subsidiary) maintains at least 25% ownership, maintains managing control and remains the general partner of the managing member of the Mortgagor, Mortgagee will permit from time to time: (a) the transfer or pledge of ownership interests, either partially or in total, from one Current Limited Partner to another Current Limited Partner; (b) the transfer or pledge by the Current Limited Partners to third parties approved by Mortgagee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (c) transfers by limited partners of GTJ Realty, LP (“Guarantor”) to family members (for purposes hereof being limited to a spouse, children, and grandchildren), or to entities controlled by such family members or trusts for their benefit, for estate planning purposes without the prior consent of  (but with notice in writing to Mortgagee).  The term “Current Limited Partners” shall mean GTJ REIT Inc., Guarantor, Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xx and The Wu Family Gift Trust. There will be no transfer fee assessed for any such transfer under this paragraph (c).  Mortgagor will be solely responsible for any expenses reasonably incurred by either Mortgagor or Mortgagee in connection with such transfer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Xxxxxxx Xx may pledge and/or transfer his 21,753 class B limited partnership interest units and his 2,219 common limited partnership interest units and/or (y) The Wu Family Gift Trust may pledge and/or transfer its 2,660 class B limited partnership interest units, to PNC Bank, N.A provided (i) no Event of Default exists and is then continuing; and (ii) GTJ REIT, Inc.

If Mortgagee has reasonable cause to believe that the Mortgaged Premises is not in compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including environmental, health and safety laws and regulations), at the request of Mortgagee, from time to time, Mortgagor, at its sole cost and expense will furnish Mortgagee with engineering studies and soil tests with respect to the Mortgaged Premises, the form, substance and results of which shall be reasonably satisfactory and certified to Mortgagee.  If any such engineering studies or soil tests indicate any violation or potential violation, of environmental, health, safety or similar laws or regulations, then Mortgagor, at its sole cost and expense, will promptly take whatever corrective action is necessary to assure the Mortgaged Premises is in full compliance with law.

Section 2-2.                      Lease Obligations.  Xxxxxxxxx has, concurrently herewith, executed and delivered to Mortgagee the Assignment, wherein and whereby, among other things, Xxxxxxxxx has assigned to Mortgagee all of the rents, issues and profits and any and all leases and the rights of management of the Mortgaged Premises, all as therein more specifically set forth, which Assignment is hereby incorporated herein by reference as fully and with the same effect as if set forth herein at length.  Xxxxxxxxx agrees that it will duly perform and observe all of the terms and provisions on the landlord’s part to be performed and observed under any and all leases of the Mortgaged Premises and that it will refrain from any action or inaction which would result in the termination by the tenants thereunder of any such leases or in the diminution of the value thereof or of the rents, issues, profits and revenues thereunder.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate Mortgagee to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of landlord under any lease of the Mortgaged Premises, and Mortgagor shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from any and all liability, loss or damage which Mortgagee may or might incur under any lease of the Mortgaged Premises or by reason of the Assignment except arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Mortgagee; and any and all such liability, loss or damage incurred by Mortgagee, together with the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Mortgagee in the defense of any claims or demands therefor (whether successful or not), shall be so much additional indebtedness hereby secured, and Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee therefor on demand, together with interest at a rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum or, if less, the highest legal rate permitted under applicable law, until paid.

Mortgagor shall not lease or sublease any portion of the Mortgaged Premises without the prior written consent of Mortgagee which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, nor will Mortgagor permit or enter into any sublease, assignment, modification, amendment or termination of any prior approved lease or sublease without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.

Section 2-3.                      Taxes, Other Governmental Charges, Liens and Utility Charges.  Mortgagor shall, before any penalty attaches thereto, pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged all taxes, assessments, utility charges and other governmental charges imposed upon or against the Mortgaged Premises or upon or against the Note and the indebtedness secured hereby, and will not suffer to exist any mechanic’s, statutory or other lien on the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof unless consented to by Mortgagee in writing.  If Mortgagee is required by legislative enactment or judicial decision to pay any such tax, assessment or charge, then at the option of Mortgagee, the Note and any accrued interest thereon together with any additions to the mortgage debt shall be and become due and payable at the election of Mortgagee upon notice of such election to Mortgagor; provided, however, said election shall be unavailing and this Mortgage and the Note shall be and remain in effect as though said law had not been enacted or said decision had not been rendered if, notwithstanding such law or decision, Mortgagor lawfully pays such tax, assessments or charge to or for Mortgagee.  Copies of paid tax and assessment receipts shall be furnished to Mortgagee not less than ten (10) days prior to the delinquent dates.

Nothing in this Section shall require the payment or discharge of any obligation imposed upon Mortgagor by this Section so long as Mortgagor, upon first notifying Mortgagee of its intent to do so, shall in good faith and at its own expense contest the same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceeding which permit the items contested to remain undischarged and unsatisfied during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom, unless Mortgagee shall notify Mortgagor that, in its reasonable opinion, by nonpayment of any such items, the lien of the Mortgage as to any part of the Mortgaged Premises will be materially endangered or the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, will be subject to loss or forfeiture, in which event such taxes, assessments or charges shall be paid promptly.

The policies required by this Paragraph (i) shall be either subject to no coinsurance clause or contain an agreed amount clause and may include a deductibility provision not exceeding Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00).

(ii)           Commercial general liability insurance against liability for injuries to or death of any person or damage to or loss of property arising out of or in any way relating to the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, and any activities thereon, in the maximum amounts required by any of the leases of the Mortgaged Premises, but in no event less than a minimum annual aggregate limit of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00), provided that the foregoing requirements of this paragraph (ii) with respect to the amount of insurance may be satisfied by an excess coverage policy; and in addition, if the Note has an original principal amount of $15,000,000.00 or more, excess liability coverage in an amount not less than $5,000,000,00.

Page 12 of 47

(c)           All policies of insurance required in Subsections (a)(i) and (iii) shall be written in the names of Mortgagor and Mortgagee as their respective interests may appear.  These policies shall provide that the proceeds of such insurance shall be payable to Mortgagee pursuant to a standard mortgagee clause to be attached to each such policy.  The policy required in subsection (a)(ii) shall name Mortgagee as an additional insured on a primary and noncontributory basis.

(d)           Mortgagor shall deposit with Mortgagee policies evidencing all such insurance, or a certificate or certificates of the respective insurers stating that such insurance is in force and effect.  At least seven (7) days prior to the date the premiums on each such policy shall become due and payable, Mortgagee shall be furnished with proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to it. Each policy of insurance herein required shall contain a provision that the insurer shall not cancel, refuse to renew or materially modify it without giving written notice to Mortgagee at least thirty (30) days before the cancellation, non-renewal or modification becomes effective.  Before the expiration of any policy of insurance herein required, Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee with evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that the policy has been renewed or replaced by another policy conforming to the provisions of this Article or that there is no necessity therefor under the terms hereof.  In lieu of separate policies, Mortgagor may maintain blanket policies having the coverage required herein, in which event it shall deposit with Mortgagee a certificate or certificates of the respective insurance as to the amount of coverage in force on the Mortgaged Premises.

Section 2-5.                      Advances.  If Mortgagor shall fail to comply with any of the terms, covenants and conditions herein with respect to the procuring of insurance, the payment of taxes, assessments and other charges, the keeping of the Mortgaged Premises in repair, or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained, Mortgagee may make advances to perform the same and, where necessary, enter the Mortgaged Premises for the purpose of performing any such term, covenant or condition, and without limitation of the foregoing, Mortgagee may procure and place insurance coverage in accordance with the requirements of this Section.  Xxxxxxxxx agrees to repay all sums so advanced upon demand, with interest at a rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum or, if less, the highest legal rate permitted under applicable law, until paid.  All sums so advanced, with interest, shall be secured hereby in priority to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, but no such advance shall be deemed to relieve Mortgagor from any default hereunder.  After making any such advance, payments made pursuant to the Note shall be first applied toward reimbursement for any such advance and interest thereon, prior to the application toward accrued interest and principal payments due pursuant to the Note.

Section 2-6.                      Financial Information.  Within 120 days after the end of each calendar year, Mortgagor shall provide to Mortgagee Mortgagor’s personal financial statements.  Such statements may be prepared and certified as to completeness and accuracy by Xxxxxxxxx until the occurrence of an Event of Default beyond applicable notice and cure periods that is continuing under any of the Loan Documents.  After such time, Mortgagee may require that such statements be audited by an independent certified public accountant approved by Mortgagee.  The above notwithstanding, so long as public filings are required of GTJ REIT, Inc., and such filings include Mortgagor, such filings shall satisfy the requirement of this Section 2-6 provided that Mortgagor provides electronic copies of such filings to Mortgagee within thirty (30) days of filing.

Section 2-7.                      Use of Mortgaged Premises.  Mortgagor shall furnish and keep in force a Certificate of Occupancy, or its equivalent, and comply with all restrictions affecting the Mortgaged Premises and with all laws, ordinances, acts, rules, regulations and orders of any legislative, executive, administra­tive or judicial body, commission or officer (whether Federal, State or local), exercising any power of regulation or supervision over Mortgagor, or any part of the Mortgaged Premises, whether the same be directed to the erection, repair, manner of use or structural alteration of buildings or otherwise.  Mortgagor shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any material change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof, nor shall Mortgagor initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any zoning change or material zoning matter affecting the Mortgaged Premises.  If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Premises is or shall become a nonconforming use, Mortgagor will not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Mortgagee.  Mortgagor shall not permit or suffer to occur any waste on or to the Mortgaged Premises or to any portion thereof and shall not take any steps whatsoever to convert the Mortgaged Premises, or any portion thereof, to a condominium or cooperative form of management.  Mortgagor will not install or permit to be installed on the Mortgaged Premises any underground storage tank.

Section 2-8.                      Escrows.  Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, together with and in addition to the monthly payments of principal and interest provided for in the Note (which shall be by Automated Clearing House if provided for in the Note for installment payments thereunder), an amount reasonably estimated by Mortgagee to be sufficient to pay one twelfth (1/12) of the estimated annual real estate taxes (including other charges against the Mortgaged Premises by governmental or quasi-governmental bodies but excluding special assessments which are to be paid as the same become due and payable) and one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual premiums on insurance required in Section 2-4 hereof to be held by Mortgagee and used to pay said taxes and insurance premiums when same shall fall due; provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may apply such funds as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate.  If at the time that payments are to be made, the funds set aside for payment of either taxes or insurance premiums are insufficient, Mortgagor shall upon demand pay such additional sums as Mortgagee shall determine to be necessary to cover the required payment.  Mortgagee need not segregate such funds.  No interest shall be payable to Mortgagor upon any such payments.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee waives the collection of escrow deposits for insurance and real estate taxes for so long as all of the following conditions are complied with:

PROMISSORY NOTE

$15,000,000.00   February ___, 2013

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, FARM SPRINGS ROAD LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“Borrower”), with the mailing address of 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, XX  00000, promises to pay to the order of AVIVA LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY, an Iowa corporation (“Lender”), at its office located at c/o Aviva Investors North America, Inc., Attn:  Commercial Mortgage, 000 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx 00000, or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing, the principal sum of FIFTEEN MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($15,000,000.00) together with interest from and including the date advanced on the balance of the principal sum remaining from time to time unpaid at the rate of three percent (3.0%) per annum.  Interest shall be calculated for the actual number of days in any partial month on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve thirty-day months.  Interest only on the unpaid principal balance from and including the date advanced through the end of that calendar month, shall be paid on the date of disbursement.  This Promissory Note is sometimes hereinafter referred to as this “Note.”  Notwithstanding anything stated above to the contrary, the full principal amount of $15,000,000.00 shall be advanced upon execution and delivery of the Loan Documents.

Payments of interest only in the amount of Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($37,500.00) (“Interest Only Payment”) shall be made in fifty-nine (59) consecutive monthly installments beginning on the first day of April, 2013, and on the first day of each month thereafter through and including the first day of February, 2018.  On the first day of March, 2018 (as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Maturity Date”) a final payment of the entire balance of principal and interest then unpaid thereon shall be due and payable.  Provided, however, if the first day of any such month is not a "Business Day" (being a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or holiday on which national banks are authorized to be closed), the applicable payment shall be due on the next following Business Day.  If a monthly payment is not received by the due date thereof, it shall constitute a default under the terms hereof.  Each payment shall be applied first to interest and other charges then due and the balance to reduction of the principal sum.

Unless and until Borrower is otherwise notified in writing by Lender, all monthly payments due on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be made by electronic funds transfer debit transactions utilizing the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) network of the U.S. Federal Reserve System and shall be initiated by Lender from Borrower’s account (as shall have been previously established by Borrower and approved by Lender) at an ACH member bank (the “ACH Account”) for settlement on the first day of each month as provided hereinabove. Borrower hereby authorizes Xxxxxx to electronically initiate the transfer of all monthly payments required on this Note (and any escrow deposits required pursuant to the Mortgage as defined below) by ACH transfer of funds from the ACH member bank designated by Borrower.  Borrower shall, prior to each payment due date, deposit and/or maintain sufficient funds in the ACH Account to cover all debit transactions initiated or to be initiated hereunder by or for Xxxxxx.

 [MORTGAGE]

Loan No. 19263

Page 38 of 47

Concurrently with or prior to the delivery of this Note, Xxxxxxxx has executed and delivered written authorization to Lender to effect the foregoing and will from time to time execute and deliver further authorization to effect payment through ACH transfer. Borrower has delivered to Lender, concurrently with or prior to Xxxxxxxx’s execution and delivery of this Note, a voided blank check or a pre-printed deposit form for such ACH Account showing Xxxxxxxx’s ACH Account number with the ACH member bank and showing the ACH member bank routing number.

Notwithstanding the foregoing regarding the ACH member bank and the ACH network system, any failure, for any reason, of the ACH network system or any electronic funds transfer debit transaction to be timely or fully completed shall not in any manner relieve Borrower from its obligations to promptly, fully and timely pay and make all payments or installments provided for under this Note when due, and to comply with all other of Borrower’s obligations under this Note or any other documents evidencing or securing this Note; or relieve Borrower from any of its obligations to pay any late charges due or payable under the terms of this Note; provided that if the cause for such failure is that Lender did not timely initiate the transfer request, then Borrower shall not be in default unless payment is not made within five (5) Business Days after notice of nonpayment is given by Lender. Borrower shall provide Lender with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any change in the ACH information provided above and Borrower shall not change ACH member banks without first obtaining Xxxxxx’s written approval.

BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS REFERRED TO ABOVE WILL NOT AMORTIZE ALL OF THE PRINCIPAL SUM OF THE INDEBTEDNESS BY THE MATURITY DATE, RESULTING IN A “BALLOON PAYMENT” ON SAID DATE OF THE ENTIRE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS NOTE AND ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST.

Upon sixty (60) days notice by Borrower to Lender that Borrower is not able to make the 60th payment (which is a balloon payment due on the Maturity Date) but shall only make the Interest Only Payment on the Maturity Date, then the loan term will automatically be extended for an additional ten-year period [or such lesser time period to match the remaining term of the lease (“Lease”) of the Mortgaged Premises all as determined by Lender] hereinafter referred to as the "Extension Period" subject to a revised interest rate and the other terms and conditions described below.  The monthly payments beginning on the first day of April, 2018 and continuing through March, 2028 shall consist of principal and interest payments based on the then current market interest rate, as determined by Lender, and based on an amortization period that will cause all excess cash over the remaining term of the Lease to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note, all as determined by Lender.  This amortization schedule is anticipated to provide breakeven debt service coverage based upon the scheduled rent payments under the Lease.  On the first day of March, 2028 (or such lesser time depending on the remaining term of the Lease) hereafter referred to as the “Final Maturity Date”, a final payment of the entire balance of principal and interest then unpaid thereon shall be due and payable.

 [MORTGAGE]

Loan No. 19263

Page 39 of 47

Prior to the beginning of the Extension Period, Borrower shall execute such documents amending this Note, the Mortgage and other Loan Documents as required by Lender.  Borrower shall pay all of Xxxxxx’s fees and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in connection with such extension.  If not otherwise due before the Final Maturity Date, the entire balance of principal and interest then unpaid, and all other sums due under this Note shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date.

This Note is given for an actual loan in the above amount and is the Note referred to in and secured by an Open-End First Mortgage Deed, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (herein called the “Mortgage”) for the benefit of Lender dated as of the date hereof, on certain property described therein located in the Town of Farmington, Hartford County, Connecticut (herein called the “Mortgaged Premises”).  Additionally, Xxxxxx required and this is the Note referred to in an Assignment of Leases, Rents and Income (herein called the “Assignment”) dated as of the date hereof, assigning to Lender all of the leases, rents and income, issues and profit from the Mortgaged Premises.  This Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment, and all other instruments evidencing or securing the loan evidenced hereby, excluding the certain Environmental Indemnification Agreement dated this same date, are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.”

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default hereunder, or after maturity or accelerated maturity of the principal balance, or if the obligations evidenced hereby are reduced to a judgment, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest shall be payable on demand on the unpaid principal balance or the judgment, as the case may be, and accrued interest thereon, from time to time outstanding, at a rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum or, if less, the highest legal rate permitted under applicable law, until paid.

In the event that any payment required to be made pursuant to this Note is not received by the due date thereof, a late charge of five cents ($.05) for each dollar ($1.00) so overdue shall become immediately due and payable as liquidated damages for defraying expenses incident to handling such delinquent payment and by reason of failure to make prompt payment, and the same shall be deemed to be evidenced by this Note and secured by the Mortgage.  In the event of the failure of Borrower to pay any such late charge within five (5) days after demand, then the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable without further notice and demand, such notice and demand being expressly waived, but in such event said late charge shall be voided and shall not be payable by Borrower nor receivable by Lender and the rate of interest effective after maturity shall be applicable.

Time is of the essence hereof and it is expressly agreed that should default be made in the payment of any installment of principal or interest when due under this Note (including any applicable grace period), or if an Event of Default (used herein as that term is defined in the Mortgage) shall occur, then the entire unpaid principal balance and accrued interest shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable, without further notice and demand, such notice and demand being expressly waived, anything contained herein or in any instrument now or hereafter securing this Note to the contrary notwithstanding.  Said option shall continue until all such defaults have been cured and such cure has been accepted by Lender.

[MORTGAGE]

Loan No. 19263

Page 40 of 47

Except as expressly provided for in this Note, Borrower may not prepay any portion of the principal balance.  Borrower reserves (provided no Event of Default exists) the privilege to prepay, in full but not in part, the principal indebtedness evidenced hereby beginning on the first day of March, 2014, and on or about any installment payment date thereafter, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, payment to Lender of all accrued interest remaining unpaid pursuant to this Note, payment to Lender of all other unpaid costs and expenses that are Borrower’s obligation under the Loan Documents, and payment of a premium (hereinafter referred to as the “Prepayment Premium”) in an amount equal to the greater of: (a) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance that Borrower is prepaying; and (b)(i) the sum of (A) the present value of the scheduled monthly payments of principal and interest from the date of such prepayment to the Maturity Date and (B) the present value of the amount of principal and interest due on the Maturity Date assuming all monthly payments of principal and interest were paid when due, less (ii) the outstanding principal loan balance as of the date of prepayment.  The present values referred to in (b)(i)(A) and (b)(i)(B) hereof shall be computed on a monthly basis as of date of prepayment discounted at the rate equal to the yield to maturity on the U.S. Treasury obligation closest in maturity to the Maturity Date, as determined from data reported in The Wall Street Journal, or similar publication on the fifth Business Day preceding the date of prepayment.

In addition to the above, Borrower may (provided no Event of Default exists) prepay in full the then outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note any time from and after the due date of the  one hundred seventy-seventh (177th) monthly payment due hereunder with no Prepayment Premium.

In the event that after giving Xxxxxx a notice of prepayment (Lender shall have the right to charge a reasonable sum for payoff requests), Borrower rescinds such notice or otherwise fails to make the prepayment as indicated in such a notice, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all of Xxxxxx’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the anticipated prepayment.

In the event that pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage (in connection with the application upon the principal balance hereof of proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards) or as a matter of grace, any partial prepayment is accepted hereon, the same shall not operate to defer or reduce the amount of any of the scheduled required monthly installment payments of principal and interest herein provided for; and each and every such scheduled required monthly installment payment shall be paid in full when due until this Note has been paid in full.

In the event Lender applies any insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the reduction of the principal balance under this Note in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Mortgage, and if, at such time, no default exists hereunder and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no event has occurred that with the passage of time or the giving of notice would be or become such an Event of Default, then no Prepayment Premium shall be due or payable as a result of such application.

[MORTGAGE]

Loan No. 19263

Page 41 of 47

Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Note, Borrower waives any right to prepay this Note in whole or in part, without premium.  If the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby is accelerated by Xxxxxx as a consequence of the occurrence of a default hereunder or of an Event of Default, Borrower agrees that an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium (determined as if prepayment were made on the date of acceleration), or if at that time there be no privilege of prepayment, an amount equal to the greater of the Prepayment Premium or twelve percent (12%) of the then principal balance hereof, shall be added to the balance of unpaid principal and interest then outstanding, and that the indebtedness shall not be discharged except:  (i) by payment of such Prepayment Premium (or such other amount, as the case may be), together with the balance of principal and interest and all other sums then outstanding, if Borrower tenders payment of the indebtedness prior to completion of a non-judicial foreclosure or entry of a judicial order or judgment of foreclosure; or (ii) by inclusion of such Prepayment Premium (or such other amount, as the case may be) as a part of the indebtedness in any such non-judicial foreclosure or judicial order or judgment of foreclosure.

Borrower shall pay on demand all costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx in enforcing or protecting its rights and remedies hereunder, including, but not limited to, all costs of collection and litigation together with reasonable attorneys’ fees (which term as used in this Note shall include any and all legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigation, mediation, arbitration and other alternative dispute processes) and legal expenses, including, without limitation, expert witness fees, any post-judgment fees, costs or expenses incurred on any appeal, in collection of any judgment, or in appearing and/or enforcing any claim in any bankruptcy proceeding.  In the event of a judgment on this Note, Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay to Xxxxxx on demand all costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx in satisfying such judgment, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses.  It is expressly understood that such agreement by Xxxxxxxx to pay the aforesaid post-judgment costs and expenses of Lender is absolute and unconditional and shall survive (and not merge into) the entry of a judgment for amounts owing hereunder and shall remain in full force and effect post-judgment with regard to any subsequent proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction including but not limited to bankruptcy court and until such fees and costs are paid in full.  Such fees or costs shall be added to Xxxxxx’s lien on the Mortgaged Premises that shall also survive foreclosure or other judgment and collection of said judgment.

Borrower and all other persons who may become liable for all or any part of this obligation severally waive demand, presentment for payment, protest and notice of nonpayment.  Said parties consent to any extension of time (whether one or more) of payment hereof, or release of any party liable for payment of this obligation.  Any such extension or release may be made without notice to any party and without discharging said party’s liability hereunder.

All agreements between Borrower and Lender (including, without limitation, those contained in this Note and the Mortgage) are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under the laws of the State of Connecticut.  If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other document securing the indebtedness, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve the payment of interest exceeding the highest rate of interest permitted by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under the laws of Connecticut; and if for any reason whatsoever Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would be deemed unlawful, such interest shall be applied to the payment of the last maturing installment or installments of the principal indebtedness hereunder (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest.

[MORTGAGE]

Loan No. 19263

Lender shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Xxxxxx and then, only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing.  A waiver with reference to one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy as to a subsequent event.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no waiver of, or election by Xxxxxx not to pursue, enforcement of any provision hereof imposing recourse liability on Borrower shall affect, waive or diminish in any manner Xxxxxx’s right to pursue the enforcement of any other such provision.

The remedies of Lender, as provided herein and in the documents hereinabove referenced, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.

All notices, demands, consents or requests which are either required or desired to be given or furnished hereunder (a “Notice”) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given if either delivered personally or by overnight commercial courier or sent by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the address of the parties hereinabove set out and if to Borrower to the attention of Xxxx Xxxxxx, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Ruskin Moscou Xxxxxxxxxx, P.C., Attn:  Xxxx X.

Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States federal or state court for Hartford County, Connecticut, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note, and irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such United States federal or state court. Borrower irrevocably waives any objection, including without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceedings in such jurisdiction. Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding brought in any such court by the delivery of copies of such process to each party at its address specified for notices to be given hereunder or by certified mail directed to such address.

Whenever used herein, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural the singular, and the words “Borrower” and “Lender” shall be deemed to include their successors and assigns.
