SECTION 3
CERTAIN COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS
CERTAIN COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS
The Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:
Section 3.1. Governmental Charges. The Borrower shall pay before the same become
delinquent all taxes, charges, sewer use fees, water rates and assessments of every name and
nature, whether or not assessed against the Borrower, if applicable or related to the Property, or
any interest therein, or applicable or related to any of the Obligations, which, if unpaid, might
by law become a lien or charge upon all or any part of the Property; provided,
however, that so long as no distraint, foreclosure sale or other levy upon or transfer with
respect to the Property or any part thereof shall have been effected or threatened, the Borrower
shall not be required to pay any such taxes, charges, fees, rates and assessments by reason of this
Section 3.1 if (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is currently being contested by
the Borrower in good faith by appropriate legal proceedings, (b) the Borrower shall have set aside
on its books reserves (segregated to the extent required by sound accounting principles and
practices) reasonably deemed by the Bank to be adequate with respect thereto, and (c) the Borrower
shall have provided to the Bank a bond or other security of such nature and in such amount as the
Bank deems sufficient as security for payment thereof.
Section 3.2. Provision For Payment of Governmental Charges and Other Obligations. To
assure the payment of all taxes, charges, sewer use fees, water rates, ground rents and assessments
of every name and nature, or any other obligations which may have or acquire priority over this
Mortgage, and which are assessed or payable with reference to the Property, the Borrower, if so
requested by the Bank, shall deposit with the Bank, on the first day of each month, a sum
determined by the Bank to be sufficient to provide, in the aggregate, a fund adequate to pay any
such amounts at least ten (10) days before the same become delinquent; and
whenever the Bank determines sums accumulated under the provisions of this Section 3.2 to be
insufficient to meet the obligation for which such deposits were made, the Borrower shall pay, on
the demand of the Bank, any amount required to cover the deficiency therein. Every such deposit
may, at the option of the Bank, be applied directly against the obligation with reference to which
it was made, or, to the fullest extent permissible according to law, any other obligation of the
Borrower secured hereby. Such deposits may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be commingled
with other assets of the Bank and, in the discretion of the Bank, invested by the Bank for its own
account, without any obligation to pay income from such investment, or interest on such deposits,
to the Borrower, or to account to the Borrower for such income in any manner.
8
Section 3.3. Maintenance of Property; Alterations. Borrower shall keep and maintain
the Property in as good repair and condition as the same now is or may hereafter be put (ordinary
wear and tear excepted), damage from casualty expressly not excepted, shall make all such needful
and proper repairs, replacements, additions and improvements thereto as shall be necessary for the
proper conduct of its business thereon, and shall not permit or commit waste on the Property. The
Borrower will make or cause to be made, as and when the same shall become necessary, all structural
and non-structural, exterior and interior, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen
repairs, renewals and replacements necessary to that end. The Borrower shall not permit removal or
alteration of anything which constitutes a part of the Property without the consent of the Bank.
The Borrower shall permit the Bank to enter the Property at any reasonable time to determine
whether the Borrower is in compliance with its obligations under this Mortgage.
Section 3.4. Insurance. The Borrower agrees, at the Borrower’s sole cost and
expense, to keep the Property insured at all times throughout the term of this Mortgage with
policies of insurance as follows:
(a) | casualty or physical hazard insurance on an “all risks” basis, with broad form earthquake coverage, and building code, valuable papers, extra expenses, extended period of indemnity and electronic data processing coverages, 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 Property) and an “agreed amount” clause, 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 Borrower’s contents therein, such amount to be determined annually by an insurer or qualified appraiser selected and paid for by the Borrower and acceptable to the Bank, and in any event, in an amount sufficient to prevent the Borrower from incurring any coinsurance liability; | ||
(b) | if at any time the Property or any portion thereof is located in a “Flood Hazard Area” pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (or any successor thereto), flood insurance in such total amount as the Bank shall reasonably require from time to time (or the maximum amount available, if less); and | ||
(c) | insurance with respect to other insurable risks and coverages relating to the Property (including, without limitation, commercial general public liability insurance (broad form), loss of income (rent insurance or business interruption insurance), boiler insurance, builder’s risk insurance and worker’s compensation insurance) in such amounts and containing such terms and conditions as the Bank may reasonably require from time to time. |
The Borrower shall deposit certified copies of all insurance policies (or certificates thereof
acceptable to the Bank) providing coverage applicable to the Property, whether or not required by
this Mortgage, with the Bank forthwith after the binding thereof, and shall deliver to the Bank new
policies (or certificates acceptable to the Bank) for any insurance about to expire at
9
least thirty (30) days before such expiration. All such insurance policies (other than liability policies)
shall be first payable in case of loss to the Bank by means of a standard non-contributory
mortgagee clause, shall be written by such companies, on such terms, in such form and for such
periods and amounts as the Bank shall from time to time approve, shall be primary and without right
of contribution from other insurance which may be available, shall waive any right of setoff,
counterclaim, subrogation, or any deduction in respect of any liability of the Borrower and the
Bank, shall provide that with respect to the Bank, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any
action or inaction by the Borrower including without limitation any representations made by the
Borrower in the procurement of such insurance, and shall provide that such policies shall not be
canceled or amended without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Bank. All public
liability insurance policies shall include the Bank as an additional named insured. All such
insurance policies shall provide that all losses thereunder shall be adjusted by the Borrower, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, however, that
in no event shall the Borrower approve or consent to any final adjustment in an amount exceeding
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($100,000) without obtaining the Bank’s prior written
approval of the amount of such adjustment, and after an Event of Default has occurred and so long
as any such Event of Default continues, the Borrower shall not consent to a final adjustment in any
amount without obtaining the Bank’s prior written approval. After an Event of Default, the
Borrower hereby grants the Bank full power and authority as irrevocable attorney-in-fact of the
Borrower to cancel or transfer such insurance, to collect and endorse any checks issued in the name
of the Borrower and to retain any premium and to apply the same to the Obligations secured hereby.
Section 3.5. Casualties and Takings. All proceeds of any property or casualty
insurance or awards of damages on account of any taking or condemnation for public use of or injury
to the Property shall be paid to the Bank. In the case of a casualty loss or taking, the Bank may,
in its discretion, apply such proceeds to or toward the Obligations (in which event the Borrower
shall be relieved of the obligation in Section 3.3 of this Mortgage to repair the part of the
Property damaged by the loss or taking with respect to which such proceeds are paid), or if the
Bank shall require repair of that part of the Property so damaged or remaining after such loss or
taking, the Bank shall release to the Borrower proceeds paid to it in accordance with the Bank’s
usual procedures for funding construction advances, and subject to any conditions on future
advances contained in the Credit Agreement, to be applied against the cost of repairing and
restoring the Property or the remaining portion thereof, with any balance remaining to be applied
to or toward
the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.5 to the contrary, however, if
there are no insurance proceeds available with respect to a casualty loss for any reason,
e.g., if a casualty loss is not covered by any insurance applicable to the Property
(whether or not required by this Mortgage), or if any insurer shall deny a casualty loss is covered
by its policy, or if any insurer shall fail to pay a claim as a result of the insurer’s insolvency,
the Borrower shall not be relieved of any obligations under Section 3.3 of this Mortgage.
Section 3.6. Hazardous Materials; Asbestos. Borrower further covenants and agrees
that it will:
10
(a) | not store, Dispose of, Spill, Release or allow the Release of any Hazardous Materials on the Property (except in compliance with all Federal, state or local laws, rules, ordinances and regulations pertaining thereto); | ||
(b) | either directly nor indirectly transport or arrange for the transport of any Hazardous Materials (except in compliance with all Federal, state or local laws, rules, ordinances and regulations pertaining thereto); | ||
(c) | in the event of any change in the laws governing the assessment, Spill, Release or removal of Hazardous Materials, which change would lead a prudent lender to require additional testing to avail itself of any statutory insurance or limited liability, take all such action (including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of the Borrower) to confirm that no Hazardous Materials are or ever were Spilled, Released or Disposed of on the Property; | ||
(d) | provide the Bank with written notice: |
(i) | upon the Borrower’s obtaining knowledge of any known Spill, Release, or threat of Release, of any Hazardous Materials at or from the Property; | ||
(ii) | upon the Borrower’s receipt of any notice to such effect from any Federal, state or local governmental body, instrumental agency; or | ||
(iii) | upon the Borrower’s obtaining knowledge that any expense or loss has been incurred by such governmental authority in connection with the assessment, containment, removal or remediation of any Hazardous Materials for which expense or loss the Borrower may be liable or for which expense a lien may be imposed on the Property; and |
(e) | if any Spill, Release or Disposal of Hazardous Materials shall occur or shall have occurred on the Property, (except in compliance with all Federal, state or local laws, rules, ordinances and regulations pertaining thereto) cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Materials and remediation of the Property in full compliance with all applicable Federal, state or local laws, rules, ordinances and regulations. |
The terms “Spill” (or “Spilled”) and “Release” (or “Released”) shall have the meaning
specified thereof in CERCLA and the term “Disposal” (or “Disposed”) shall have the meaning
specified in RCRA; provided, that in the event either CERCLA or RCRA is amended so as to
broaden the meaning of any term defined thereby, such broader meaning shall apply as of the
effective date of such amendment and provided further, to the extent that the laws
of the state where the Property is located establish a meaning for “Spill”, “Release” or “Disposal”
which is broader than specified in either CERCLA or RCRA, such broader meaning shall apply.
11
Section 3.7. Environmental Assessments. At any time after an Event of Default shall
have occurred hereunder, or, whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, at any time
after the Bank shall receive notice of a Spill, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous
Materials from the Borrower, or shall have received notice from any other source deemed reliable by
the Bank that a Spill or Release of Hazardous Materials may have occurred, the Bank may at its
election after five (5) days prior notice to the Borrower obtain one or more environmental
assessments of the Property prepared by a geohydrologist, an independent engineer or other
qualified consultant or expert approved by the Bank evaluating or confirming (i) whether any
Hazardous Materials are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to the Property, and (ii)
whether the use and operation of the Property comply with all applicable Environmental Laws
relating to air quality, environmental control, release of oil, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes and hazardous substances, and any and all other applicable environmental laws.
Environmental assessments may include detailed visual inspections of the Property including,
without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry xxxxx and leaching areas,
and the taking of soil samples, surface water samples and ground water samples, as well as such
other investigations or analyses as are necessary or appropriate for a complete determination of
the compliance of the Property and the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental
Laws. All such environmental assessments shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.
Section 3.8. Notice of Condemnation. The Borrower, immediately upon obtaining
knowledge of the institution of any proceeding for the condemnation or requisition of the Property
or any portion thereof, shall notify the Bank of the pendency of such proceeding. The Bank may
participate in such proceeding, and the Borrower from time to time shall deliver to the Bank all
instruments requested by the Bank to permit such participation.
Section 3.9. Leases; Assignments; Subordination. The Borrower shall not lease the
Property or any part thereof without the prior written consent of the Bank. If the Bank shall
consent and the Borrower shall enter into a lease, the Borrower shall faithfully keep, observe and
satisfy all the obligations on the part of the lessor to be kept, performed and satisfied under
every lease from time to time in force with reference to the Property, and shall not alter or
terminate any such lease, or any guarantee of such lease, except in the ordinary course of
business, or accept any rentals for more than one (1) month in advance. The Borrower shall submit
to the Bank for its review and prior written approval all draft agreements, related materials and
all other information relating to all proposed leases of the Property or any portion thereof, all
proposed lease modifications relating to the leases described in Schedule B of the
Collateral Assignment, and all proposed renewals of such leases. The Borrower hereby assigns to
the Bank all rents and profits under any and all leases of the Property; provided,
however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to retain such rents and profits until an
Event of Default shall have occurred. At any time on notice from the Bank, the Borrower shall
submit to the Bank for examination all such leases and on the demand of the Bank, shall execute and
deliver a separate instrument collaterally assigning any or all such leases, or the rents and
profits thereof, in form satisfactory to the Bank. The Bank shall have the right, by the execution
of suitable written instruments from time to time, to subordinate this Mortgage, and the rights of
the Bank hereunder, to any lease or leases from time to time in force with reference to the
Property, and, on the execution of any such instrument, this Mortgage shall be subordinate to the
lease for which such subordination is
12
applicable with the same force and effect as if such lease had been executed and delivered, and a
notice thereof recorded to the extent required to give notice to third persons, prior to the
execution, delivery and recording of this Mortgage. Nothing contained in this Section 3.9 is
intended, nor shall it be deemed, to constitute consent by the Bank to a subordination of the lien
of this Mortgage.
Section 3.10. Prior Mortgages. If this Mortgage, by its terms, is now, or at any
time hereafter, becomes subject or subordinate to a prior mortgage, the Borrower shall fully
perform its obligations under such prior mortgage and shall not, without the consent of the Bank,
agree to the modification, amendment or extension of the terms or conditions of such prior
mortgage. Nothing contained in this Section 3.10 is intended, nor shall it be deemed, to
constitute consent by the Bank to a subordination of the lien of this Mortgage.
Section 3.11. Encumbrances. The Borrower shall not create or permit to be created or
permit to exist any encumbrance on the Property (other than a lien for property taxes not yet due
and payable and the Permitted Encumbrances) even if such encumbrance is inferior to this Mortgage,
without the prior express written consent of the Bank. The Borrower shall not declare or otherwise
subject the Property to any form of common interest ownership including, but not limited to, a
condominium, cooperative, planned community, or planned unit development form of ownership, without
the prior express written consent of the Bank.
Section 3.12. Transfers of Ownership. The Borrower shall not sell or permit any
transfer or other disposition, by operation of law or otherwise, of legal or equitable title to or
interest in the Property, or any part thereof (including, without limitation, any sale, transfer or
disposition of any corporate, partnership or other legal or beneficial interest in the Borrower),
without the prior express written consent of the Bank, which consent may be withheld in the Bank’s
sole discretion for any reason whatsoever.
Section 3.13. Expenses. The Borrower shall pay when due all fees and charges
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Bank in connection with the transactions
evidenced by the Obligations and secured by this Mortgage, the insurance of the security
represented by this Mortgage, protecting or sustaining the lien of this Mortgage and the
enforcement of the Obligations and this Mortgage, all either before or after obtaining judgment of
foreclosure of this Mortgage or judgment in or with respect to the Obligations, including, without
limitation, all filing, registration, recording, search, appraisal and information fees, all title
insurance premiums, all transfer taxes and expenses incident to the execution and acknowledgment of
this Mortgage and all other documents securing the Obligations, and all Federal, state and local
taxes, duties, stamps, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Mortgage and the instruments evidencing the Obligations. Such fees
and charges shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage and shall accrue interest at the rate set
forth in the Credit Agreement and Note.
Section 3.14. Priority of Lien; After-Acquired Property. This Mortgage is and will
be maintained as a valid mortgage lien on the Property subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.
All property of every kind acquired by the Borrower after the date hereof which, by the terms
hereof, is required or intended to be subjected to the lien of this Mortgage shall, immediately
13
upon the acquisition thereof by the Borrower, and without any further mortgage, conveyance,
assignment or transfer, become subject to the lien of this Mortgage. Any real property or easement
across real property adjoining or adjacent to the Property which is used for access to, providing
utility service to or is granted in lieu of a cash award for a condemnation of any portion of the
Property now existing or hereafter acquired shall be subject to the lien of this Mortgage. The
Borrower will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further conveyances,
mortgages, and assurances as the Bank shall reasonably require for accomplishing the purposes of
this Mortgage. If any action or proceeding shall be instituted to recover possession of the
Property or for the foreclosure of any other mortgage or for any other purpose affecting the
Property or this Mortgage, the Borrower will immediately, upon service thereof on or by the
Borrower, deliver to the Bank a true copy of each petition, summons, complaint, notice, motion,
order to show cause, and all other process, pleadings and papers, however designated, served in any
such action or proceeding.
Section 3.15. Waiver and Modification. Whether or not for additional interest or
other consideration paid or payable to the Bank, no forbearance on the part of the Bank or
extension of the time for the payment of the whole or any part of the Obligations secured hereby,
or any other indulgence given by the Bank to the Borrower or to any other party claiming any
interest in or to the Property, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the original
liability of the Borrower, or the priority of this Mortgage or to limit, prejudice or impair any
right of the Bank, including, without limitation, the right to realize upon the security, or any
part thereof, for the Obligations secured hereby or any of them, notice of any such extension,
forbearance or indulgence being hereby waived by the Borrower and all those claiming by, through or
under the Borrower. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by the Bank to or of any default by
the Borrower shall be construed as a consent or waiver to or of any further default in the same or
any other term, condition, covenant or provision of this Mortgage or of the Obligations secured
hereby. Borrower waives presentment, demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this
Mortgage, notice of loans made, credit extended or other collateral received or delivered or other
action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect
both to the Obligations and the Property, Borrower assents to any extension or postponement of the
time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of the Property,
to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the
acceptance of partial payments thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any
thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as Bank may deem advisable. Bank shall have
no duty as to the collection or protection of the Property or any income thereon, nor as to the
preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining
thereto beyond the safe custody thereof. Bank may exercise its rights with respect to the Property
without resorting or regard to other collateral or sources of reimbursement for liability. Bank
shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or under the Obligations or the Property
unless such waiver be in writing and signed by Bank.
Section 3.16. Fixtures and Equipment; Financing Statement. This Mortgage constitutes
a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of Connecticut, and
the Borrower hereby grants to the Bank to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations and
also to secure the performance of all agreements and covenants herein contained, a security
interest in all fixtures, Building Service Equipment and any other property
14
(hereinafter referred to as the “Personalty”) included in the Property, now owned or hereafter
acquired by the Borrower, which might otherwise be deemed “personal property” (and all accessions
thereto and the proceeds thereof). The Borrower covenants and agrees that, upon the subsequent
acquisition of fixtures, Personalty or Building Service Equipment, it will provide to the Bank such
further assurances as may be required by the Bank to establish the Bank’s first and prior security
interest in such fixtures, Personalty and Building Service Equipment. IT IS INTENDED BY THE
GRANTOR AND THE GRANTEE THAT THIS MORTGAGE BE EFFECTIVE AS A FINANCING STATEMENT FILED WITH THE
REAL ESTATE RECORDS AS A FIXTURE FILING. The Borrower shall execute, deliver and cause to be
recorded and filed from time to time with all necessary public offices, at the Borrower’s sole cost
and expense, continuation statements and such other instruments as will maintain the Bank’s
priority of security in all fixtures, Personalty and Building Service Equipment. If Borrower shall
fail to furnish any such financing and continuation statements within ten (10) days after their
request by the Bank, then, pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, Borrower
hereby authorizes the Bank, without signature of the Borrower, to execute and file any such
financing and continuation statements. The filing of any financing or continuation statements in
the office of the Secretary of the State shall not be construed as in any way impairing the right
of the Bank to proceed against fixtures, Personalty or Building Service Equipment as real property.
Section 3.17. Zoning Changes. The Borrower shall submit to the Bank for its prior
written approval all applications and other information relating to any proposed zoning change,
variance or other action with respect to the use of the Property or any portion thereof.
Section 3.18. Change in Management. The Borrower shall submit to the Bank for its
review and prior written approval all information relating to any proposed change in the management
of the Property or the business conducted thereon.
SECTION 4

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 4.1. Default; Acceleration of Obligations. If an Event of Default shall
occur, then the Bank may exercise the remedies provided under this Mortgage, under the Credit
Agreement, under the Note, under the other Loan Documents or under the laws of the State of
Connecticut or any one or more of such remedies.
Section 4.2. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred on the Bank is intended
to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing.
Section 4.3. Right of Mortgagee to Cure an Event of Default. If an Event of Default
shall occur, the Bank shall have the right, but without any obligation so to do, to cure such
default for the account of the Borrower and to make any payment or take any action necessary to
effect such cure. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby authorizes
the Bank to pay all taxes, sewer use fees, water rates and assessments, with interest,
15
costs and charges accrued thereon, which may at any time be a lien upon the Property, or any part
thereof; to pay the premiums for any insurance required hereunder; to incur and pay reasonable
expenses in protecting its rights hereunder and the security hereby granted; and to pay any balance
due under any security agreement on any fixtures and equipment included as a part of the Property;
and the payment of all amounts so incurred shall be secured hereby as fully and effectually as any
other obligation of the Borrower secured hereby. If the Bank shall make any payment or take action
in accordance with this Section 4.3, the Bank will give to the Borrower written notice of the
making of any such payment or the taking of any such action. In any such event, the Bank and any
person designated by the Bank shall have, and is hereby granted, the right to enter upon the
Property at reasonable times and from any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any
such action, and all monies expended by the Bank in connection therewith (including, but not
limited to, reasonable legal expenses and disbursements), together with interest thereon at the
Default Rate as specified in the Note (or the highest rate permitted by law, whichever shall be
less), from the date of each such expenditure, shall be paid by the Borrower to the Bank forthwith
upon demand by the Bank, and shall be secured by this Mortgage, and the Bank shall have, in
addition to any other right or remedy of the Bank, the same rights and remedies in the event of
non-payment of any such sums by the Borrower as in the case of a default by the Borrower in the
payment of any installment of principal or interest due and payable under the Note.
Section 4.4. Foreclosure. Without limiting any of the Bank’s rights set forth in
Section 4.5 hereof, if an Event of Default shall occur, the Bank may foreclose this Mortgage and
exercise its rights as a secured party for all or any portion of the Obligations which is then due
and payable, subject to the continuing lien of this Mortgage for the balance not then due and
payable.
Section 4.5. Possession of Property; Appointment of Receiver.
(a) Without limiting any of the Bank’s rights set forth in Section 4.4 hereof, if an Event of
Default shall occur the Bank may, at its option: (i) enter upon and take possession and control of
the Property and the Property Income with those rights and powers more particularly set forth in
Section 4.5(b) hereof; (ii) make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for and obtain
the immediate ex parte appointment of a receiver authorized to immediately enter
upon and take possession and control of the Property and the Property Income with those rights and
powers more particularly set forth in Section 4.5 (b) hereof; and (iii) without taking possession
and control of the Property, immediately (with or without commencing any legal action or proceeding
in any court of competent jurisdiction) collect directly all Property Income in the place and stead
of the Borrower with full rights and powers to notify all parties liable to make payments of
Property Income to make said payments directly to the Bank or its agents, and the Bank or its
agents shall have the further power and authority to xxx for or otherwise collect and receive all
Property Income.
(b) In the event the Bank or a receiver enters upon and takes possession and control of the
Property and/or the Property Income pursuant to Section 4.5(a) hereof, said person or entity shall,
in addition to such other rights and powers as may subsequently be authorized, have the right and
power to (i) operate, manage and control the Property and exercise all the rights and powers of the
Borrower in its name or otherwise with respect to the same; (ii) make all necessary
16
and proper maintenance, repairs, replacements, and improvements to the Property; (iii) collect
and receive all Property Income; and (iv) enforce all terms of existing contracts pertaining to the
Property and enter into such new contracts as the Bank or the receiver may determine necessary in
their sole discretion.
(c) All Property Income collected by the Bank, the Bank’s agent or a receiver, pursuant to
Section 4.5(a) hereof, shall be applied in such order of priority as the Bank may determine in its
sole discretion to (i) interest and principal due on the Obligations; (ii) taxes, assessments and
insurance premiums due with respect to the Property and/or the business operations conducted from
the Property; (iii) all costs and expenses of operating, maintaining, repairing and improving the
Property; and (iv) the compensation, salaries, expenses and disbursements of any agents, employees,
attorneys or other representatives of the Bank, the Bank’s agent or the receiver in connection with
the possession, control and/or operation of the Property and the business operations conducted
therefrom.
(d) The Bank, its agents, or any receiver acting pursuant to Section 4.5(a) hereof shall in no
event be liable or accountable for more monies than actually are received from the Property during
the period which the Bank, its agent or any receiver actually is in possession and control of the
Property. Neither the Bank, its agents or any receiver shall be liable or accountable in any
manner for the failure to collect Property Income for any reason whatsoever.
(e) All costs, expenses and liabilities of every character incurred by the Bank in managing,
operating and maintaining the Property, not paid from Property Income as herein above provided,
shall constitute advances by the Bank pursuant to Section 4.3.
(f) In the event of foreclosure, the Bank, its agent or any receiver acting pursuant to
Section 4.5(a) hereof may, if a deficiency exists, remain in possession of the Property until (i)
the foreclosure sale; (ii) the redemption of the Property; or (iii) the expiration of any
redemption period of the United States of America extending subsequent to the foreclosure sale.
The Bank, its agents or the receiver shall incur no liability for, nor shall the Borrower assert
any claim or setoff as a result of, any action taken while the Bank, its agent or a receiver is in
possession of the Property.
Section 4.6. Uniform Commercial Code. If the provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code as enacted in the State of Connecticut are applicable to any property or security given to
secure the indebtedness secured hereby which is sold in combination with or as a part of the
Property, or any part thereof, at one or more foreclosure sales, any notice required under such
provisions shall be fully satisfied by any notice given in connection with such foreclosure sales
of the Property or any part thereof.
Section 4.7. Rights Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy conferred upon the Bank
by this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, and conferred by law
or in equity, is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein or
therein set forth or otherwise so existing, may be exercised from time to time, as often, and in
such order, as may be deemed expedient by the Bank, and the exercise or the beginning of the
exercise of one right, power or remedy shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at
the same
the same
17
time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy, and no delay or omission of, or discontinuance
by, the Bank in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing hereunder or arising otherwise
shall impair any such right, power or remedy, or be construed to be a waiver of any default or
acquiescence therein. To constitute a waiver, there must be a writing signed by an officer of the
Bank and directed to the Borrower, specifying the waiver.
No delay or omission of the Bank to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any
Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy nor shall it be construed
to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy
given by this Mortgage to the Bank may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient by the Bank.
In case the Bank shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Mortgage, the
Credit Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined
adversely to the Bank, then and in every such case the Borrower and the Bank shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of the Bank shall
continue as if no such proceeding had been taken. In the event of a breach or default or an Event
of Default under this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents, the
Borrower agrees to pay and to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank for all reasonable expenses,
attorneys’ fees, taxes and other court costs occasioned by such breach or default.
Section 4.8. No Merger. In the event the Bank shall acquire title to the Property by
conveyance from the Borrower or as a result of the foreclosure of any other mortgage which the Bank
at any time holds with respect to the Property, this Mortgage shall not merge in the fee of the
Property but shall remain and continue as an existing and enforceable lien for the Obligations
secured hereby until the same shall be released of record by the Bank in writing.
