coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized officer of the Mortgagee.  The Mortgagee shall not be liable for any loss sustained on account of any exercise pursuant to said power unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct and actual bad faith of the Mortgagee.  The Mortgagee may, at its option, make any proceeds available to the Mortgagor to repair or reconstruct the Collateral (subject to such disbursement procedures as the Mortgagee may establish in its sole and absolute discretion) or apply any proceeds of such insurance against the Liabilities, whether or not such have matured, in accordance with Section 9-6 herein.


 


4-3. Statutory Compliance.  The Mortgagor shall comply with, shall not use any of the Collateral in violation of, and shall cause the Collateral to be in compliance with, each and every statute, regulation, ordinance, decision, directive, order, by-law, or rule of any federal, state, municipal, and other governmental authority which has or claims jurisdiction over the Mortgagor or any of the Collateral.

4-5. Condition of Collateral.  The Collateral is, and shall hereafter remain, in good repair, well maintained and in good working order.  The Mortgagor shall make all necessary repairs, replacements, additions and improvements to maintain the Collateral in good order and condition.

4-6. Inspection of Collateral.  From time to time as the Mortgagee and the Mortgagee’s representatives may request, the Mortgagor shall accord the Mortgagee and such representatives access to the Collateral and all books and records relating to the use, operation, construction, or management thereof, and in connection with such access, will permit the Mortgagee and such representatives to inspect the Collateral, verify any information contained therein or relating thereto, and verify the Mortgagor’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or of any other agreement between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee and any instrument to be furnished by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee.

assessed against it, and all insurance premiums relative to the Collateral. The Mortgagor shall deliver to the Mortgagee, upon request of Mortgagee, evidence of the payment by the Mortgagor of all such items.  The Mortgagor agrees that the Mortgagee may, at its option, and from time to time, pay any taxes or insurance premiums, the payment of which is then due, discharge any liens or encumbrances on any of the Collateral, or take any other action that the Mortgagee may deem proper to repair, insure, maintain, or preserve any of the Collateral or the Mortgagee’s rights therein.  The Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee on demand all amounts so reasonably paid or incurred by the Mortgagee.  The obligation of the Mortgagor to pay such amounts shall be included in the Liabilities of the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee and shall accrue interest at the highest rate of interest charged relative to any of the Liabilities.


 


4-8. Tax and Insurance Escrow.  In addition to other payments herein required, the Mortgagor shall, at the Mortgagee’s option, exercisable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, now or in the future, pay to the Mortgagee monthly on the first of each month, or such other day of the month as may be designated by the Mortgagee during the term hereof, and for so long as the Liabilities secured by this Agreement shall remain unpaid, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the municipal taxes and assessments which the Mortgagee estimates will become payable on account of the Mortgaged Premises for the year next succeeding any period for which such taxes and assessments have been paid or escrowed hereunder, and/or one twelfth (1/12th) of the insurance premiums which the Mortgagee estimates will become payable on account of the Collateral for the year next succeeding any period for which such premiums have been paid or escrowed hereunder, sufficient to enable Mortgagee to accumulate at least thirty (30) days prior to the dates upon which such municipal taxes and assessments or insurance premiums are payable the amounts then due and payable.  Further, the Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee on demand the amount of any deficiency of the funds so collected when the actual amount of such taxes and assessments or insurance premiums become known.  The Mortgagee shall maintain such funds in a non-interest bearing account which may be commingled with other funds of the Mortgagee.  The Mortgagee shall apply said funds to the payment of municipal taxes and assessments or insurance premiums, as applicable, to the extent such amounts are determined by the Mortgagee to be due and payable.  In the event the Mortgagee collects such tax or insurance payments hereunder, the Mortgagor shall deliver to the Mortgagee the bills representing any such amounts within five (5) days of the receipt thereof by the Mortgagor.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4-8, upon an occurrence of an event which is, or, solely with the passage of time, would be, an Event of Default hereunder, the Mortgagee shall not be required to apply such funds as provided above, and may set off such funds against the Liabilities and apply any such funds towards the Liabilities in accordance with Section 9-6 hereunder.


 


4-9. Litigation.  There is no suit, action, proceeding, or investigation presently pending or threatened against the Mortgagor, or any of the Collateral.


 


4-10. Future Action.  The Mortgagor shall do all such things and execute all such documents from time to time hereafter as the Mortgagee may request in order to carry into effect the provisions and intent of this Agreement and to protect, perfect, and maintain the Mortgagee’s interest in and to the Collateral.

All financial information provided to the Mortgagee shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Mortgagee.  Failure to submit any of the financial information required herein on a timely basis and thereafter within thirty (30) days after a request therefore by the Mortgagee shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

ARTICLE 7                       - RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, the Mortgagee shall have all the rights of a mortgagee and a secured party under the Massachusetts General Laws, in addition to which the Mortgagee shall have all of the following rights and remedies:


 


(a) with or without taking possession, to collect the Receivables Collateral;


 


(b) to take possession of all or a portion of the Collateral;


 


(c) with or without taking possession of the Collateral, to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following such preparation or processing as the Mortgagee deems advisable;


 


(d) with or without taking possession of the Collateral, and without assuming the obligations of the Mortgagor thereunder, to exercise the rights of the Mortgagor under, to use, or to benefit from any of the Contracts, Leases, and Licenses;


 


(e) with or without taking possession of the Collateral and with or without bringing any action or proceeding, either directly, by agent, or by the appointment of a receiver, manage, lease, sublease, or operate the Collateral on such terms as the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, deems proper or appropriate;


 


(f) to apply all or any portion of the Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, towards (but not necessarily in complete satisfaction of) the Liabilities;


 


(g) to exercise the Statutory Power of Sale;


 


(h) to foreclose any and all rights of the Mortgagor in and to the Collateral, whether by sale, entry, or in any other manner provided for hereunder or under Massachusetts General Laws;


 


(i) to elect, upon the discretion of the Mortgagee, to treat any or all of the Leases, as superior to the lien of this Agreement; and


 


(j) any other right or remedy under this Agreement, the Note, the Assignment of Leases and Rents executed and delivered in connection with the Loan, or any other Loan Document (as defined in the Note) or agreement.


 


7-2. Sale or Other Disposition of Collateral.  Any sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be at public or private sale, to the extent such private sale is authorized under the


 


 




  





-15-











  






 


Massachusetts General Laws, upon such terms and in such manner as the Mortgagee deems advisable.  The Mortgagee may conduct any such sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon the Mortgaged Premises, in which event the Mortgagee shall not be liable for any rent or charge for such use of the Mortgaged Premises.  The Mortgagee may purchase the Collateral, or any portion of it, at any sale held under this Article.  With respect to any Collateral to be sold pursuant to the UCC, the Mortgagee shall give the Mortgagor at least ten (10) days written notice of the date, time, and place of any proposed public sale, or such additional notice as may be required under Massachusetts General Laws, and of the date after which any private sale or other disposition may be made.  The Mortgagee may sell any of the Personal Property as part of the Mortgaged Premises, or any portion or unit thereof, at the foreclosure sale or sales conducted pursuant hereto.  The Mortgagor waives any right to require the marshalling of any of its assets in connection with any disposition conducted pursuant hereto.  In the event all or part of the Collateral is included at any foreclosure sale conducted pursuant hereto, a single total price for the Collateral, or such part thereof as is sold, may be accepted by the Mortgagee with no obligation to distinguish between the application of such proceeds amongst the property comprising the Collateral.  If all or any portion of the Collateral is sold by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee on demand an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the purchase price thereof in addition to the Liabilities and all Costs of Collection provided for herein.  The obligation of the Mortgagor to pay such amounts shall be included in the Liabilities of the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee and shall accrue interest at the highest rate of interest charged relative to any of the Liabilities.


 


7-3. Collection of Receivables Collateral.  In connection with the exercise by the Mortgagee of the rights and remedies provided herein:


 


(a) The Mortgagee may notify any of the Mortgagor’s debtors relating to the Receivables Collateral, either in the name of the Mortgagee or the Mortgagor, to make payment directly to the Mortgagee or such other address as may be specified by the Mortgagee, may advise any person of the Mortgagee’s interest in and to the Receivables Collateral, and may collect directly from the obligors thereon all amounts due on account of the Receivables Collateral;


 


(b) At the Mortgagee’s request, the Mortgagor will provide written notification to any or all of said debtors concerning the Mortgagee’s interest in the Receivables Collateral and will request that such debtors forward payment thereof directly to the Mortgagee;


 


(c) The Mortgagor shall hold any proceeds and collections of any of the Receivables Collateral in trust for Mortgagee and shall not commingle such proceeds or collections with any other funds of the Mortgagor; and


 


(d) The Mortgagor shall deliver all such proceeds to the Mortgagee immediately upon the receipt thereof by the Mortgagor in the identical form received, but duly endorsed or assigned on behalf of the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee.


 


7-4. Use and Occupation of Mortgaged Premises.  In connection with the Mortgagee’s exercise of the Mortgagee’s rights under this Article, the Mortgagee may enter upon, occupy,


 


 




  





-16-











  






 


and use all or any part of the Collateral and may exclude the Mortgagor from the Mortgaged Premises or portion thereof as may have been so entered upon, occupied, or used.  The Mortgagee shall not be required to remove any of the Collateral from the Mortgaged Premises upon the Mortgagee’s taking possession thereof, and may render any Collateral unusable to the Mortgagor.


 


7-5. Partial Sales.  The Mortgagor agrees that, in case the Mortgagee in the exercise of the Power of Sale contained herein or in the exercise of any other rights hereunder given, elects to sell in parcels, said sales may be held from time to time and that the power shall not be exhausted until all of the Collateral not previously released shall have been sold, notwithstanding that the proceeds of such sales exceed, or may exceed, the Liabilities then secured thereby.


 


7-6. Assembly of Collateral.   Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Mortgagee may require the Mortgagor to assemble the Personal Property and make it available to the Mortgagee, at the Mortgagor’s sole risk and expense, at a place or places which are reasonably convenient to both the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor.


 


7-7. Power of Attorney.   The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Mortgagee as the Mortgagor’s true and lawful attorney to take any action with respect to the Collateral to preserve, protect, or realize upon the Mortgagee’s interest therein, each at the sole risk, cost and expense of the Mortgagor, but for the sole benefit of the Mortgagee.  The rights and powers granted the Mortgagee by the within appointment include, but are not limited to, the right and power to:  (i) prosecute, defend, compromise, settle, or release any action relating to the Collateral; (ii) endorse the name of the Mortgagor in favor of the Mortgagee upon any and all checks or other items constituting remittances or proceeds of Receivables Collateral; (iii) sign and endorse the name of the Mortgagor on, and to receive as secured party, any of the Collateral; (iv) sign and file or record on behalf of the Mortgagor any financing or other statement in order to perfect or protect the Mortgagee’s security interest; (v) enter into leases or subleases relative to all or a portion of the Mortgaged Premises; (vi) exercise the rights of the Mortgagor under any Contract, Lease, or License; or (vii) manage, operate, maintain or repair the Mortgaged Premises.  The Mortgagee shall not be obligated to perform any of such acts or to exercise any of such powers, but if the Mortgagee elects so to perform or exercise, the Mortgagee shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and shall not be responsible to Mortgagor except for the Mortgagee’s willful misconduct and actual bad faith.  All powers conferred upon the Mortgagee by this Agreement, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until terminated by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized officer of the Mortgagee.


 


7-8. Rights and Remedies.  The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Mortgagee hereunder (the “Mortgagee’s Rights and Remedies”), shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No delays or omissions by the Mortgagee in exercising or enforcing any of the Mortgagee’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Mortgagee of any default hereunder or under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement.  No single or partial exercise of the Mortgagee’s Rights and Remedies, and


 


 




  





-17-











  






 


no other agreement or transaction, of whatever nature entered into between the Mortgagee and the Mortgagor at any time, whether before, during, or after the date hereof, preclude any other or further exercise of the Mortgagee’s Rights and Remedies.  No waiver or modification on the Mortgagee’s part on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.  All of the Mortgagee’s Rights and Remedies under this Agreement or any other agreement or transaction shall be cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by the Mortgagee at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Mortgagee in its sole discretion may determine.

This Agreement and the Mortgagee’s exercise of its rights hereunder shall not operate to place any responsibility upon the Mortgagee for the control, care, management, or repair of the Collateral, nor shall it operate to place any responsibility upon the Mortgagee to perform the obligations of the Mortgagor under any Lease, License, or Contract, or


 


 




  





-19-











  






 


to make the Mortgagee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Mortgaged Premises, any damages or defective condition of the Mortgaged Premises, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair, or control of the Mortgaged Premises.

9-10. Binding on Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Mortgagor and the Mortgagor’s respective heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, successors, and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee and the Mortgagee’s successors and assigns.

9-12. Modification.  (a)  This Agreement and all other instruments executed in connection herewith incorporate all discussions and negotiations between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee concerning the matters included herein and in such other instruments.

The


 


 




  





-20-











  






 


Mortgagor authorizes the Mortgagee to pay all such expenses and to charge the same to any account of the Mortgagor with the Mortgagee.

No termination pursuant to this Section shall affect the indemnification provided for in this Article.


 


9-17. Specific Performance.  The failure by the Mortgagor to perform all and singular the Mortgagor’s obligations hereunder will result in irreparable harm to the Mortgagee for which the Mortgagee shall have no adequate remedy at law.  Consequently, the Mortgagor agrees that such obligations are and shall be specifically enforceable by the Mortgagee.


 


9-18. Waiver of Jury Trial.  The Mortgagor (as well as all partners and beneficiaries and shareholders of the Mortgagor, and all guarantors, endorsers and sureties to the Mortgagee of the Liabilities) hereby makes the following waiver, knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally, and understands that the Mortgagee, in entering into any loan arrangements or make any financial accommodations to the Mortgagor, whether now or in the future, is relying on such waiver.
