The occurrence and continuation of any of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement and the Line of Credit Documents without the requirement of notice from Lender to Borrower:

If any Event of Default shall occur (whether or not any required notice has been given or an applicable grace period has elapsed), Lender shall not be obligated to make any further advances or disbursements until such Event of Default is remedied. Unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement, or the Line of Credit Documents, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender shall give written notice of such occurrence to Borrower as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Monetary Default</u>.

In the event that correction of the default requires action by a Governmental Authority which cannot reasonably be obtained within an additional twenty (20) days, and Borrower has complied with the conditions of the previous sentence, such twenty (20) day cure period shall be extended to some other reasonable amount of time, so long as the Borrower' Business is not impaired and continues in the ordinary course until the default is cured.

No remedy conferred upon or reserved to Lender under this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement, the Line of Credit Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or failure 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 thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5 <u>Right of Set-off.</u> Upon the declaration of the Note as due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note held by the Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured.

<u>**RIDER TO MORTGAGE**</u>

BY AND BETWEEN **NANOVIRICIDES, INC.** As MORTGAGOR and ANIL R. DIWAN, MORTGAGEE

Covering Premises: 1 CONTROLS DRIVE, SHELTON, CT

Dated: September 23, 2025

The Open End Mortgage Deed is hereby modified and supplemented. Wherever there is any conflict between this Rider and the printed part of this Mortgage, the provisions of this Rider are paramount and this Mortgage shall be construed accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. This Mortgage is given to collateralize the Open End Mortgage Note (the "Note") of the Mortgagor of even date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Mortgagor agrees to bear all expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees for legal services of every kind) of or incidental to the enforcement of any provisions hereof, or enforcement, compromise, or settlement of any of the collateral pledged hereunder, and for the curing thereof, or defending or asserting the rights and claims of Mortgagee in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, and will pay to Mortgagee any such expenses incurred and such expenses shall be deemed an indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and shall be collectible in like manner as the principal indebtedness secured by this Mortgage. All rights and remedies of Mortgagee shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Mortgagor hereby waives trial by jury.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. In the event any payment herein provided for shall become overdue for a period in excess of ten (10) days, late charge interest of six per centum (6%) shall become immediately due to Mortgagee as liquidated damages for failure to make prompt payment, and the same shall be secured by this Mortgage. Said late charges shall be computed from the due date after applicable grace periods, if any, to the date of payment and shall be payable with the next installment of principal and/or interest. Payment and/or acceptance of any late charges shall not constitute a waiver of any default. As to the loan with a balloon payment on the Maturity Date, the six (6%) percent late penalty shall not apply to the balloon portion of the payment; but simply to the portion representing the regularly scheduled payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Mortgagor hereby appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact in connection with any of the personal property or fixtures covered by this Mortgage, to execute and file on its behalf any financing statements, or other statements in connection therewith with the appropriate public office. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable so long as this Mortgage remains unsatisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. In the event of a condemnation, or taking in lieu thereof, by purchase or otherwise, of all or a material part of the premises by any governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction, then the entire unpaid indebtedness including any additional monies advanced hereunder shall, at the option of Mortgagee, immediately become due and payable. The condemnation, or a taking in lieu thereof, by purchase or otherwise, of the whole or any part of the premises, shall not reduce the interest provided to be paid on the indebtedness secured hereby, notwithstanding any statutory provisions to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Wherever in this Mortgage or as a matter of law it is provided that Mortgagee's consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or the actions of Mortgagee shall be reasonable, the remedy of Mortgagor, in the event Mortgagor shall claim or establish that Mortgagee has unreasonably withheld such consent or approval or has acted unreasonably, shall be limited to injunction, declaratory judgment or arbitration, and in no such event shall Mortgagee be liable for a money judgment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. It is hereby mutually agreed that the time of the repayment, accelerated or otherwise, of this Mortgage, when due, as hereinbefore stated, is of unique and specific importance and financial necessity to Mortgagee and is hereby made of the essence. Should all sums due or payable under the Mortgage, or under any written extension, postponement of the due date or renewal thereof, not be promptly paid in full on or before the due date stated or accelerated as a result of default, Mortgagor shall pay and hereby agrees to pay to Mortgagee, interest at the rate which Mortgagor is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay on the unpaid balance computed from said date of maturity to the date of actual repayment but in no event greater than 20% per annum. Said interest shall become due and payable at the same time that interest payments are due under this Mortgage and shall be secured by the collateral hereunder. It is hereby understood that this provision does not constitute a consent or agreement on the part of Mortgagee to extend or postpone the time of such payment beyond the present date of maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. Upon any default of Mortgagor in complying with or performing any warranty or covenant herein, Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee's option, comply with or perform the same, and the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the rate which Mortgagor is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay from date of such default shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee on demand and shall be secured by this Mortgage, but in no event greater than 20% per annum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. At no time shall Mortgagor be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Note secured by this Mortgage at a rate which could subject Mortgagee to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum rate which Mortgagor is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Mortgage, or the Note which it secures, Mortgagor is at any time required or obligated to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and the portion of all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the grace period for the payment of any installment of interest is ten (10) days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. The entire indebtedness together with accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable at the option of Mortgagee upon any voluntary or involuntary sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance, or encumbrance of the property or any interest therein, or upon any sale, transfer, or assignment of any beneficial interest in Mortgagor without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. Mortgagee, in any action to foreclose this Mortgage or upon the actual waste to any part of the mortgaged premises, or upon the occurrence of any default shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver as a matter of right, without regard to the value of the mortgaged premises as security for the indebtedness secured hereby, or the solvency or insolvency of any person then liable for the payment of the indebtedness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. The validity and enforceability of this Mortgage and all transactions and questions arising hereunder, shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Connecticut and shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Mortgage shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Mortgage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. Mortgagee, its agents, or representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to enter and inspect the mortgaged premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. Mortgagor covenants, represents and warrants, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the mortgaged premises and any buildings and improvements thereon are and shall continue to be (i) free of toxic waste, asbestos and other hazardous materials and (ii) in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations or orders pertaining to health, the environment or hazardous materials. Failure or refusal by Mortgagor to cure any such condition, upon notice shall be a default under this Mortgage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. Mortgagor covenants, represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the use of the property complies with all laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of all governmental bodies having jurisdiction over the mortgaged premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. Any provision in this rider or in this Mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event Mortgagee shall not escrow for taxes, Mortgagor shall furnish to the holder of this Mortgage proof of payment of real estate taxes and water and sewer charges assessed against the premises within five (5) days of request of Mortgagee after the same are due and payable. Proof of payment shall be by receipted bills from the payee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. Any payment made in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage by any person at any time liable for the payment of the whole or any part of the sums now or hereafter secured by this Mortgage, or by any subsequent owner of the mortgaged premises, or by any other person whose interest in the premises might be prejudices in the event of a failure to make such payment, or by any other person whose interest in the premises might be prejudiced in the event of a failure to make such payment, or by any stockholder, officer or director of a corporation which at any time may be liable for such payment or may own or have such an interest in the premises, shall be deemed, as between Mortgagee and all persons who at any time may be liable as aforesaid or may own the premises, to have been made on behalf of all such persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. Mortgagor covenants and agrees that in the event any check tendered by Mortgagor, or on behalf of Mortgagor, in payment of any of the obligations of Mortgagor under this Mortgage or the Note secured hereby is returned unpaid by the Bank upon which such payment is drawn, then in such event, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee the Bank fees imposed upon such returned check and a fee of twenty five ($25.00) dollars to reimburse Mortgagee for the administrative expenses incurred by Mortgagee on account of such returned check. Such fee shall be paid with the next payment due under the terms of this Mortgage or the Note secured hereby. Any default in the payment of such fee shall be deemed a default in the payment of principal and/or interest hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. The Mortgage form hereof is hereby supplemented to provide that the whole of said principal sum and the interest therein shall become due at the option of the mortgagee in the following additional events: (a) non-performance by the Mortgagor of, or failure to comply with, any agreement, covenant, or condition contained in this Mortgage or any other instrument executed with respect to the premises, or (b) if any representation contained herein or in any other instrument executed in connection herewith is or shall become untrue, or (c) if the Mortgagor fails or suspends business, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, applies for an extension from or composition with creditors, or if a trustee, receiver, or liquidator, be appointed for the Mortgagor for any of this property, or under the provisions of any State insolvency law a petition be filed by or against the mortgagor, except that if such petition shall be filed against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagor shall have <u>ten</u> (10) days in which to cause said petition to be dismissed; (d) if any action or proceeding is commenced by any governmental authority with respect to curing violations or maintenance of the premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. The failure of Mortgagor to pay any installment of principal and/or interest on any prior or subsequent mortgage given by Mortgagor or any related entity of Mortgagor to Mortgagee or any related entity of Mortgagee on any other property or the failure of Mortgagor to otherwise comply with any of the other terms, provisions, and conditions of any other mortgage given by Mortgagor or any related entity of Mortgagor to Mortgagee or any related entity of Mortgagee shall be deemed a default in the payment of any installment of principal and/or interest under the terms of this Mortgage.

Any sums advanced by Mortgagee to preserve or maintain the security of the debt shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee immediately upon demand for same, together with interest at the rate provided hereunder from the date of advance until the date of demand, and if not paid after demand or if such advance is made after default, at the default rate and any and all sums so advanced by Mortgagee either before or after foreclosure proceedings are commenced, shall be deemed to be secured by this Mortgage.

Mortgagor will not execute an assignment of the rents, or any part thereof, from the Premises without Mortgagee's prior written consent.
