SECTION 3


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 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.







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.

(a)casualty or physical hazard insurance on an “all risks” basis, with broad form 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 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 FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($500,000) 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:








	
  

	
(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;







 




 





  











-11-






 



	
  

	
(d) provide the Bank with written notice: 













	
  

	
(i)upon the Borrower’s obtaining knowledge of any potential or 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, 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.







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 wells 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 3.9.  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 Exhibit C hereto, 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 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 3.15.  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 (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.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES







Section 4.1.  Default; Acceleration of Obligations.

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, 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 Credit Agreement (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 Credit Agreement.

(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.

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 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.
