TO HAVE AND TO HOLD unto Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, forever to its and their own proper use and behoof; and Mortgagor also does for itself, its successors and assigns, covenant with Mortgagee, and their successors and assigns, that at and until the ensealing of these presents, it is well seized of the Property in fee simple, and has good right to mortgage, bargain and sell the same and that the same are free from all encumbrances whatsoever except for the Permitted Encumbrances.
This Mortgage is intended to operate and be construed as an unconditional, absolute and present assignment of the Leases, Rents, issues and profits of the Mortgaged Property, and not an assignment in the nature of a pledge of the Leases, Rents, issues and profits or a mere grant of a security interest therein, Mortgagor hereby agreeing, that Mortgagee is entitled to receive the Leases, Rents, issues and profits of the Mortgaged Property prior to an Event of Default and without entering upon or taking possession of the Mortgaged Property; provided however that Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of Mortgagor under any Lease, the assignment of Leases, Rents, issues and profits provided for in this Mortgage in no manner placing on Mortgagee any responsibility for (i) the control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of any Lease, (iii) any waste committed on the Mortgaged Property, or (iv) any dangerous or defective condition on the Mortgaged Property (whether known or unknown). Mortgagor further agrees that neither the foregoing assignment of Leases, Rents, issues and profits, nor the assignment provided for in the Assignment of Leases and Rents, nor the exercise of any of Mortgagee’s rights and remedies in Article II hereof shall be deemed to make Mortgagee a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Leases, the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof, unless and until Mortgagee, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession thereof. The appointment of any receiver for the Mortgaged Property by any court at the request of Mortgagee or by agreement with Mortgagor, or the entering into possession of any part of the Mortgaged Property by such
8
receiver, shall not be deemed to make Mortgagee a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Leases, the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof. So long as no Event of Default shall exist, however, and so long as Mortgagor is not in default of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in any Lease, Mortgagor shall have a license, which license shall terminate automatically and without notice upon any Event of Default or a default by Mortgagor under any Lease to collect, but not prior to accrual, all Rents. Mortgagor agrees to collect and hold all rents in trust for Mortgagee and to use the Rents for the payment of the cost of operating and maintaining the Mortgaged Property and for the payment of the Expenses and other obligations of Mortgagor pursuant to the Loan Documents before using the Rents for any other purpose.

Commencing on the next monthly payment date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each monthly payment date under the Note, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee, concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual real estate taxes and assessments that will next become due and payable on the Mortgaged Property, plus one-twelfth (1 /12) of the amount of the annual premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies which Mortgagor is required to maintain hereunder, each as estimated and determined by Mortgagee. So long as no default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Mortgagee in the Impound Account to pay said taxes, assessments and insurance premiums in one installment before the same become delinquent. Mortgagor shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Mortgagee, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all taxes, assessments and insurance premiums to be paid from the Impound Account, and so long as no default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, Mortgagee shall pay the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely on any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into
13
Mortgage and Security Agreement
the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. The Impound Account shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Mortgagee’s option and in Mortgagee’s discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Mortgagee with the general funds of Mortgagee. No interest on funds contained in the Impound Account, if any, shall be paid by Mortgagee to Mortgagor. The Impound Account is solely for the protection of Mortgagee and entails no responsibility on Mortgagee’s part beyond the payment of taxes, assessments and insurance premiums following receipt of bills, invoices or statements therefor in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually received. Upon assignment of this Mortgage by Mortgagee, any funds in the Impound Account shall be turned over to assignee and any responsibility of Mortgagee, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If the total funds in the Impound Account shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Mortgagee for the purposes of the Impound Account, such excess may be credited by Mortgagee on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or, at the option of Mortgagee, refunded to Mortgagor. If, however, the Impound Account shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required when the same shall become due and payable, Mortgagor shall, within (10) days after receipt of written notice therefor, deposit with Mortgagee the full amount of any such deficiency. If Mortgagor shall fail to deposit with Mortgagee the full amount of such deficiency as provided above, Mortgagee shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make such deposit, and all amounts so deposited by Mortgagee, together with interest thereon at the applicable Default Rate from the date so deposited by Mortgagee, until actually paid by Mortgagor, shall be immediately paid by Mortgagor on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage. If there is a default under this Mortgage which is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, apply at any time the balance then remaining in the Impound Account against the Obligations in whatever order Mortgagee shall subjectively determine. No such application of the Impound Account shall be deemed to cure any default hereunder. Upon full payment of the Obligations in accordance with its terms or at such earlier time as Mortgagee may elect, the balance of the Impound Account then in Mortgagee’s possession shall be paid over to Mortgagor and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
(d) Mortgagor shall give Mortgagee prompt written notice of any damage to, or destruction of, the Improvements, or any part thereof, or of any other casualty or loss at or affecting the Property or the Chattels. Mortgagee’s rights with respect to any insurance claim in respect of any such damage, destruction, casualty or loss shall be as provided in the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in Section 254 of the RPAPL or any other provision of applicable law, the proceeds of any insurance coming into the possession of Mortgagee in respect of any damage, destruction, casualty or loss shall not be deemed trust funds, and Mortgagee shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to apply any insurance proceeds it may receive pursuant hereto or otherwise to the payment of the Obligations, or to allow all or a portion of such proceeds to be used for the restoration of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the proceeds of any insurance coming into the possession of Mortgagee in respect of any
14
Mortgage and Security Agreement
damage, destruction, casualty or loss shall not be deemed trust funds, and Mortgagee shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to apply any insurance proceeds it may receive pursuant hereto or otherwise to the payment of the Obligations, or to allow all or a portion of such proceeds to be used for the restoration of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
(e) Mortgagor shall promptly commence and diligently continue to perform the repairs, restoration and rebuilding of the portion of the Improvements damaged or destroyed in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
SECTION 1.10 If Mortgagor shall fail to perform any of the covenants contained in Sections 1.01, 1.03, 1.05, 1.07, 1.08, 1.09, 1.12 or 1.20 hereof, Mortgagee may make advances to perform the same on its behalf upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Mortgagor, and all sums so advanced shall be a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and shall be secured hereby. Mortgagor will repay on demand all sums so advanced on its behalf with interest at the Default Rate. The provisions of this Section shall not prevent any default in the observance of any covenant contained in said Sections 1.01, 1.03, 1.05, 1.07, 1.08, 1.09, 1.12 or 1.20 from constituting an Event of Default. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagee shall be subrogated to all right, title, lien or equity, notwithstanding any release of record, of all Persons to whom Mortgagor may have paid any monies as provided in this Section 1.10, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.10 shall be deemed or construed to relieve Mortgagor of the obligation to make any such payment.
SECTION 1.11 (a) Mortgagor will permit Mortgagee and its agents, accountants and attorneys to visit and inspect the Property and examine its records and books of account and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with the officers of Mortgagor as provided in the Loan Agreement. Any inspection conducted by Mortgagee’s agents will be in strict compliance with the laws governing medical and adult-use commercial cannabis activities in New York, as may be currently in effect or hereinafter enacted,
(b) Mortgagor will deliver to Mortgagee the financial reports and statements as and when required pursuant to the Loan Agreement.
(c) Mortgagor, within five (5) Business Days upon request in person, or within seven (7) Business Days upon request by mail, will furnish a written statement duly acknowledged of the amount due whether for principal or interest on the Note and whether any offsets, counterclaims or defenses exist against Mortgagee, or the Obligations, or any part thereof. The term “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or any day on which commercial banks in Los Angeles, California, are authorized or required to close.
SECTION 1.12 Mortgagor will not commit any waste on the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or make any material change in the use of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, that will in any way materially decrease the value of the Mortgaged Property or increase the risk of fire or other hazard or casualty arising out of construction or operation; provided, however, that all cannabis extraction and cannabis product
15
Mortgage and Security Agreement
manufacturing activities which may take place at the Mortgaged Property in strict compliance with the then-existing laws of the State of New York, and any other activities that the Mortgagor and its subsidiaries may engage in due course with its cannabis cultivation and product manufacturing business, provided such other activities are in strict compliance with the then-existing laws of the State of New York shall not be deemed in any way to be in violation of this Section. Mortgagor will, at all times, maintain the Improvements in good operating order and condition and will promptly make, from time to time, all repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements in connection therewith which are necessary or desirable to such end. The Improvements shall not be demolished or substantially altered, nor shall any Chattels be removed without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, except where appropriate replacements free of superior title, liens and claims are immediately made having value at least equal to the value of the removed Chattels.
SECTION 1.13 Mortgagor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Property or Chattels or any part thereof, will notify Mortgagee of the pendency of such proceedings. Mortgagee’s rights with respect to any such proceedings shall be as provided in the Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, Mortgagee’s right to participate, and to be represented by counsel selected by Mortgagee, in such proceedings). Any award or compensation payable in connection with any such proceedings is hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Mortgagee, which assignment is in addition to and not in limitation of any security interest granted herein. The proceeds of any award or compensation shall be applied as provided in the Loan Agreement.
SECTION 1.14 (a) Mortgagor will not (i) execute an assignment of any Leases affecting the Property or any part thereon, or the Rents, or any part thereof, from the Property, except in favor of Mortgagee, or (ii) subject in all respects to the terms of the Loan Agreement, except where the lessee under any Lease is in default thereunder, terminate or consent to the cancellation or surrender of any such Lease, now existing or hereafter entered into, having an unexpired term of one (1) year or more, except that, subject in all respects to the terms of the Loan Agreement, any Lease may be cancelled provided that promptly after the cancellation or surrender thereof a new Lease is entered into with a new lessee having a credit standing, in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, at least equivalent to that of the lessee whose lease was cancelled, on substantially the same or better terms as the terminated or cancelled Lease, or (iii) subject in all respects to the terms of the Loan Agreement, modify any such Lease so as to shorten the unexpired term thereof or so as to decrease the amount of the Rents payable thereunder, or (iv) subject in all respects to the terms of the Loan Agreement, accept prepayments of any installments of Rents to become due under such Leases, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance of the lessees thereunder, or (v) subject in all respects to the terms of the Loan Agreement, in any other manner materially impair the value of the Mortgaged Property or the security of this Mortgage in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee.

If any of such Leases provide for the giving by the lessee of an estoppel certificate with respect to the status of any such Leases, Mortgagor shall exercise its right to request such certificates within ten (10) days of any demand therefor by Mortgagee.
(c) Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee all information concerning lessees or occupants of the Property or Improvements as required under the Loan Agreement.
SECTION 1.15 Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, each Lease of the Property, or of any part thereof, shall provide that, in the event of the enforcement by Mortgagee of the remedies provided for by law or by this Mortgage, the lessee thereunder will, upon request of any Person succeeding to the interest of Mortgagor as a result of such enforcement, automatically become the lessee of said successor in interest, without change in the terms or other provisions of such Lease; provided, however, that said successor in interest shall not be bound by (i) any payment of rent or additional rent for more than one (1) month in advance, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by said lessee of its obligations under said Lease, or (ii) any amendment or modification of the Lease made without the consent of Mortgagee or such successor in interest. Reference is hereby made to Section 291-f of the New York Real Property Law, for purposes of obtaining for Mortgagee the benefit of Section 291-f in connection with this Mortgage. Each such Lease shall provide that upon request by such successor in interest, such lessee shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming such attornment.

SECTION 1.17 Mortgagor, in compliance with Section 13 of Article 2 of the New York Lien Law, will receive the advances secured by this Mortgage, and will hold the right to receive such advances, as a trust fund to be applied first for the purpose of paying the cost of contractors and materialmen for any improvements to the Property before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.
17
Mortgage and Security Agreement
SECTION 1.18 Mortgagor agrees that it shall indemnify and hold Mortgagee and any of its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns harmless against any loss or liability, cost or expense, including without limitation, any judgments, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of appeal bonds and printing costs, arising out of or relating to any proceedings instituted by any contractor, subcontractor, materialman or other claimant alleging priority over the lien of this Mortgage by virtue of any work performed at the Property or materials provided to Mortgagor or any other party in connection with the Property alleging a violation by Mortgagor or Mortgagee of any section of Article 3-A of the New York Lien Law.

Mortgagee may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of Access Laws compliance from an architect, engineer, or other Person reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee.

SECTION 2.01 The occurrence of any Default or Event of Default as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement shall constitute a Default or Event of Default, as applicable, under this Mortgage. Any material breach by Mortgagor of the terms of this Mortgage shall likewise constitute a Default, and, if any explicitly required notice has been given of that Default, and any required cure period has expired, an Event of Default.

I. Acceleration of the Obligations. During the continuance of any such Event of Default, Mortgagee, by written notice given to Mortgagor, may declare the entire principal of the Note then outstanding (if not then due and payable), and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with all other Obligations, to be due and payable immediately, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Note, the other Loan Documents.

(1) sell (and in the case of any default by any purchaser, resell) the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by law, and all estate, right, title and interest, claim and demand therein, and right of redemption thereof, at one or more sales as an entirety or in parcels, and at such time and place upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be determined by Mortgagee or as required or permitted by law; or

The sale by Mortgagee of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property shall not exhaust the right to sell any remainder of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagee is specifically empowered to make a successive sale or sales until the whole of the Mortgaged Property shall be sold. If the proceeds of the sale of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property is less than the aggregate of the Obligations and any other obligations secured hereby and payable under subsection (d) of Section 2.02, then this Mortgage and the lien hereof shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Mortgaged Property just as though no sale had been made.
V. Assent to Decree. Mortgagor hereby assents to the passage of a decree for the sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, by any court having jurisdiction, without notice to Mortgagor (except as expressly required by applicable law).

IX. Other Remedies. Mortgagee shall have the right, from time to time, to bring an appropriate action to recover any sums required to be paid by Mortgagor under the terms of this Mortgage, as they become due, without regard to whether or not any other obligations or liabilities shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of a mortgage foreclosure, or any other action, for any default by Mortgagor existing at the time the earlier action was commenced. In addition, Mortgagee shall have the right to set-off all or any part of any amount due by Mortgagor to Mortgagee under any of the Loan Documents, against any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations owing by Mortgagee in any capacity to Mortgagor, including any obligation to disburse to Mortgagor any funds or other property on deposit with or otherwise in the possession, control or custody of Mortgagee.

As long as the Obligations secured by this Mortgage remain unpaid, Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Mortgagor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Mortgaged Property and rights so sold and for that purpose Mortgagee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, including, without limitation, any affidavit, instrument, document or filing required pursuant to any applicable statute, rule or regulation of the State, as the same may be amended from time to time, and may substitute one or more Persons with like power, Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless Mortgagor, if so requested by Mortgagee, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Mortgagee or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, for that purpose, and as may be designated in such request. Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Article II, whether made under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under Mortgagor.

SECTION 2.03 (a) In case an Event of Default described in Section 2.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon written demand of Mortgagee, Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee the whole amount which then shall have become due and payable on the Note, for principal or interest or both, and after the happening of said Event of Default will also pay to Mortgagee interest at the Default Rate on the then unpaid principal of the Note, and the sums required to be paid by Mortgagor pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all outstanding Expenses including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to Mortgagee, its agents, and counsel and any expenses incurred by Mortgagee hereunder. In the event Mortgagor shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, Mortgagee shall be entitled and empowered to institute such action or proceedings at law or in equity as may be advised
24
Mortgage and Security Agreement
by its counsel for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against Mortgagor and collect, out of the property of Mortgagor wherever situated, as well as out of the Mortgaged Property, in any manner provided by law, moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.
(b) Mortgagee shall be entitled to recover judgment as aforesaid either before or after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of the provisions of this Mortgage; and the right of Mortgagee to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any entry or sale hereunder, or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions of this Mortgage along with the amount of any other Obligations, or the foreclosure of the lien hereof; and in the event of a sale of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and of the application of the proceeds of sale, as in this Mortgage provided, to the payment of the debt hereby secured (including all Obligations), Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of, and to receive all amounts then remaining due and unpaid upon the Note, the other Loan Documents and to enforce payment of all other charges, payments and costs due under this Mortgage, the other Loan Documents and shall be entitled to recover judgment for any portion of the debt remaining unpaid, with interest at the Default Rate. In case of the commencement of any case against Mortgagor under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or any proceedings for its reorganization or involving the liquidation of its assets, then Mortgagee shall be entitled to prove the whole amount of principal and interest due upon the Note to the full amount thereof, and all other payments, charges and costs and other Obligations due under this Mortgage, without deducting therefrom any proceeds obtained from the sale of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that in no case shall Mortgagee receive a greater amount than such principal and interest and such other payments, charges and costs and other Obligations from the aggregate amount of the proceeds of the sale of the Mortgaged Property and the distribution from the estate of Mortgagor.
(c) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect in any manner or to any extent, the lien of this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, of any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before.
(d) Any moneys thus collected by Mortgagee under this Section 2.03 shall be applied to the Obligations by Mortgagee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of Section 2.02.
SECTION 2.04 After the happening of any Event of Default and immediately upon the commencement of any action, suit or other legal proceedings by Mortgagee to obtain judgment for the principal of, or interest on, the Note, and/or all other Obligations and/or other sums required to be paid by Mortgagor pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, or of any other nature in aid of the enforcement of the Note or of this Mortgage, Mortgagor will (a) consent to the service of process as provided in Section 3.11 hereof and enter its
25
Mortgage and Security Agreement
voluntary appearance in such action, suit or proceeding, and (b) if required by Mortgagee, consent to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and of all the earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income thereof.
SECTION 2.05 Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, liquidator or trustee of Mortgagor, or of any of its property, or of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, Mortgagee shall be entitled to retain possession and control of all property now or hereafter held under this Mortgage.
SECTION 2.06 No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission of Mortgagee to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Mortgage to Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee. Nothing in this Mortgage shall affect the obligation of Mortgagor to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Note in the manner and at the time and place therein respectively expressed.
SECTION 2.07 Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any benefit or advantage of any stay or extension or moratorium law, any exemption from execution or sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants and terms of performance of this Mortgage, nor claim, take or insist upon any benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof which may be made pursuant to any provision herein, or pursuant to the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after any such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof and Mortgagor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but to suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted. Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to the extent that it lawfully may, all right to have the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, marshaled upon any foreclosure hereof. Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim under it, further waives and relinquishes (i) all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Mortgagor, including the Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in the inverse order of alienation in the event of a foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any law pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents, or other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Mortgagee under the terms of this Mortgage to a sale of the Mortgaged Property without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Mortgagee to the payment of the Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever, (ii)
26
Mortgage and Security Agreement
any right to bring or utilize any defense, counterclaim or setoff; provided, if any defense, counterclaim or setoff is timely raised in a foreclosure action, such defense, counterclaim or setoff shall be dismissed, and (iii) any and all rights and remedies which Mortgagor may have or be able to assert by reason of the provisions of any Laws pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties.
SECTION 2.08 During the continuance of any Event of Default, and pending the exercise by Mortgagee of its right to exclude Mortgagor from all or any part of the Property, Mortgagor agrees to pay the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupancy of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof that is in its possession for such period, and upon default of any such payment, will vacate and surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, to Mortgagee or to a receiver, if any, and in default thereof may be evicted by any summary action or proceeding for the recovery of possession of the Property for non-payment of rent, however designated.

The parties hereby acknowledge that the Mortgagor’s and its subsidiaries’ involvement with the regulated cannabis industry shall not be in any way deemed as willful misconduct, constitute an event of default hereunder provided that all commercial activities undertaken at the Property shall be strictly in compliance with the laws governing medical and adult-use commercial cannabis activities in New York, as may be currently in effect or hereinafter enacted.

27
Mortgage and Security Agreement
mortgagor named herein, any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns. If there is more than one Mortgagor, all their undertakings hereunder shall be deemed joint and several.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MORTGAGOR HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS MORTGAGE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THIS MORTGAGE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

SECTION 3.06 Nothing in this Mortgage, the Note or in any other Loan Documents between Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall require Mortgagor to pay, or Mortgagee to accept, interest in an amount which would subject Mortgagee to any penalty or forfeiture under applicable law. In the event that the payment of any charges, fees or other sums due hereunder or under the Note or any other Loan Documents, which are or could be held to be in the nature of interest and which would subject Mortgagee to any penalty or forfeiture under applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligations of Mortgagor to make such payment shall be reduced to the highest rate authorized under applicable law. Should Mortgagee receive any payment which is or would be in excess of the highest rate authorized under law, such payment shall have been, and shall be deemed to have been, made in error, and shall automatically be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations.
