TAXES AND LIENS.  The following provisions relating to the taxes and liens on the Property are part of this Mortgage:

Payment.  Grantor shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes, payroll taxes, special taxes, assessments, water charges and sewer service charges levied against or on account of the Property, and shall pay when due all claims for work done on or for services rendered or material furnished to the Property.  Grantor shall maintain the Property free of any liens having priority over or equal to the interest of Lender under this Mortgage, except for any Permitted Liens (as defined in the Loan Agreement) those liens specifically agreed to in writing by Lender, and except for the lien

of taxes and assessments not due as further specified in the Right to Contest paragraph.

Notice of Construction.  Grantor shall notify Lender at least fifteen (15) days before any material work is commenced, any services are furnished, or any materials are supplied to the Property other than in the normal course of business and maintenance of the Property, if any mechanic’s lien, materialmen’s lien, or other lien could be asserted on account of the work, services, or materials.  Grantor will upon request of Lender furnish to Lender advance assurances satisfactory to Lender that Grantor can and will pay the cost of such improvements.

PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE.  The following provisions relating to insuring the Property are a part of this Mortgage:

Maintenance of Insurance.  Grantor shall procure and maintain policies of insurance as required under the Loan Agreement.

Application of Proceeds.  Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any material loss or damage to the Property.  Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty.  Whether or not Lender’s security is impaired, Lender may, at Lender’s election, receive and retain the proceeds of any insurance and apply the proceeds to the reduction of the Indebtedness, payment of any lien affecting the Property, or the restoration and repair of the Property.  If Lender elects to apply the proceeds to restoration and repair, Grantor shall repair or replace the damaged or destroyed Improvements in a commercially reasonable manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of such expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration if Grantor is not in default beyond any applicable grace or cure periods under this Mortgage.  Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within 180 days after their receipt and which Lender has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Property shall be used first to pay any amount owing to Lender under this Mortgage, then to pay accrued interest, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the principal balance of the Indebtedness.  If Lender holds any proceeds after payment in full of the Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be paid to Grantor as Grantor’s interests may appear.

Grantor’s Report on Insurance.  Upon request of Lender, however not more than once a year, Grantor shall furnish to Lender a report on each existing policy of insurance related to the insurance coverages required for the Property showing:  (1)  the name of the insurer;  (2)  the risks insured;  (3)  the amount of the policy;  (4)  the property insured, the then current replacement value of such property, and the manner of determining that value; and  (5)  the expiration date of the policy.

TAX AND INSURANCE RESERVES.  Subject to any limitations and consistent with any requirements set by applicable law, Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender reserves for payment of annual taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums related to the insurance coverages required for

the Property, which reserves shall be created by an initial deposit and subsequent monthly payments, or payments at such other interval as payments under the Note may be due, of a sum estimated by Lender to be sufficient to pay the total annual taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums Lender reasonably anticipates to be paid from these reserves.  The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit from Grantor, which Lender shall satisfy by payment of the taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they become due.  Lender shall have the right to draw upon the reserve funds to pay such items, and Lender shall not be required to determine the validity or accuracy of any item before paying it.  Nothing in the Mortgage shall be construed as requiring Lender to advance other monies for such purposes, and Lender shall not incur any liability for anything it may do or omit to do with respect to the reserve account.  Subject to any limitations set by applicable law, if the reserve funds disclose a shortage or deficiency, Grantor shall pay such shortage or deficiency as required by Lender.  All amounts in the reserve account are hereby pledged to further secure the Indebtedness, and Lender is hereby authorized to withdraw and apply such amounts on the Indebtedness upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Lender shall not be required to pay any interest or earnings on the reserve funds unless required by law or agreed to by Lender in writing.

LENDER’S EXPENDITURES.  If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the Property or if Grantor fails to comply with any provision of this Mortgage or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Grantor’s failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Mortgage or any Related Documents and such failure amounts to an Event of Default hereunder, Lender on Grantor’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Property and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Property.  All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor.  All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option, will  (A)  be payable on demand;  (B)  be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either  (1)  the term of any applicable insurance policy; or  (2)  the remaining term of the Note; or  (C)  be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note’s maturity.  The Mortgage also will secure payment of these amounts.  Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon Default.

WARRANTY; DEFENSE OF TITLE.  The following provisions relating to ownership of the Property are a part of this Mortgage:

Title.  Grantor warrants that: (a) Grantor holds good title of record to the Property in fee simple, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than those set forth in the Real Property description or in any title insurance policy, title report, or final title opinion issued in favor of, and accepted by, Lender in connection with this Mortgage, and  (b) Grantor has the full right, power, and authority to execute and deliver this Mortgage to Lender.

Defense of Title.  Subject to the exception in the paragraph above, Grantor warrants and will forever defend the title to the Property against the lawful claims of all persons.  In the event any action or proceeding is commenced that questions Grantor’s title or the interest of Lender under this Mortgage, Grantor shall defend the action at Grantor’s expense.  Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Lender shall be entitled to participate in the proceeding and to be represented in the proceeding by counsel of Lender’s own choice, and Grantor will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender such instruments as Lender may request from time to time to permit such participation.

Compliance With Laws.  Grantor warrants that to Grantor’s knowledge the Property and Grantor’s use of the Property complies with all existing applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations of governmental authorities.

Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations, warranties, and agreements made by Grantor in this Mortgage shall survive the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, shall be continuing in nature, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as Grantor’s Indebtedness shall be paid in full.

CONDEMNATION.  The following provisions relating to condemnation proceedings are a part of this Mortgage:

Proceedings.  If any proceeding in condemnation is filed, Grantor shall promptly notify Lender in writing, and Grantor shall promptly take such steps as may be necessary to defend the action and obtain the award.  Grantor may be the nominal party in such proceeding, but Lender shall be entitled to participate in the proceeding and to be represented in the proceeding by counsel of its own choice, and Grantor will deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender such instruments and documentation as may be requested by Lender from time to time to permit such participation.

Application of Net Proceeds.  If all or any part of the Property is condemned by eminent domain proceedings or by any proceeding or purchase in lieu of condemnation, Lender may at its election require that all or any portion of the net proceeds of the award be applied to the Indebtedness or the repair or restoration of the Property.  The net proceeds of the award shall mean the award after payment of all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in connection with the condemnation.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT.  This Mortgage is upon the STATUTORY CONDITION for any breach of which Lender, the mortgagee, shall have the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE.  In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Lender, at Lender’s option, may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided by law:

Accelerate Indebtedness.  Lender shall have the right at its option without notice to Grantor to declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable, including any prepayment penalty that Grantor would be required to pay.

Foreclosure.  Lender may invoke the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE, in which case Lender shall mail a copy of a notice of sale to Grantor and to any other person required by applicable law, in the manner provided by applicable law.  Lender shall publish the notice of sale, and the Property shall be sold in the manner prescribed by applicable law.

UCC Remedies.  With respect to all or any part of the Personal Property, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

Collect Rents.  Lender shall have the right, without notice to Grantor, to take possession of the Property and collect the Rents, including amounts past due and unpaid, and apply the net proceeds, over and above Lender’s costs, against the Indebtedness.  In furtherance of this right,

Lender may require any tenant or other user of the Property to make payments of rent or use fees directly to Lender.  If the Rents are collected by Lender, then Grantor irrevocably designates Lender as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact to endorse instruments received in payment thereof in the name of Grantor and to negotiate the same and collect the proceeds.  Payments by tenants or other users to Lender in response to Lender’s demand shall satisfy the obligations for which the payments are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand existed.  Lender may exercise its rights under this subparagraph either in person, by agent, or through a receiver.

Appoint Receiver.  Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Property, with the power to protect and preserve the Property, to operate the Property preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the Property and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the Indebtedness.  The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law.  Lender’s right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Property exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount.  Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.

Deficiency Judgment.  If permitted by applicable law, Lender may obtain a judgment for any deficiency remaining in the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this section.

Tenancy at Sufferance.  If Grantor remains in possession of the Property after the Property is sold as provided above or Lender otherwise becomes entitled to possession of the Property upon default of Grantor, Grantor shall become a tenant at sufferance of Lender or the purchaser of the Property and shall, at Lender’s option, either (1) pay a reasonable rental for the use of the Property, or (2) vacate the Property immediately upon the demand of Lender.

Other Remedies.  Lender shall have all other rights and remedies provided in this Mortgage or the Note or available at law or in equity.

Sale of the Property.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor hereby waives any and all right to have the Property marshaled.  In exercising its rights and remedies, Lender shall be free to sell all or any part of the Property together or separately, in one sale or by separate sales.  Lender shall be entitled to bid at any public sale on all or any portion of the Property.

Notice of Sale.  Lender shall give Grantor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Personal Property or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Personal Property is to be made.  Reasonable notice shall mean notice given at least fourteen (14) days before the time of the sale or disposition.  Any sale of the Personal Property may be made in conjunction with any sale of the Real Property.

Election of Remedies.  Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor under this Mortgage, after Grantor’s failure to perform, shall not affect Lender’s right to declare a default and exercise its remedies.  Nothing under this Mortgage or otherwise shall be construed so as to limit or restrict the rights and remedies available to Lender following an Event of Default, or in any way to limit or restrict the rights and ability of Lender to proceed directly against Grantor and/or against any other co-maker, guarantor, surety or endorser and/or to proceed against any other collateral directly or indirectly securing the Indebtedness.

Attorneys’ Fees; Expenses.  If Lender institutes any suit or action to enforce any of the terms of this Mortgage, Lender shall be entitled to recover such sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys’ fees at trial and upon any appeal.  Whether or not any court action is involved, and to the extent not prohibited by law, all reasonable expenses Lender incurs that in Lender’s opinion are reasonably necessary at any time for the protection of its interest or the enforcement of its rights shall become a part of the Indebtedness payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Note rate from the date of the expenditure until repaid.  Expenses covered by this paragraph include, without limitation, however subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender’s reasonable, out-of —pocket attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including

attorneys’ fees and expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services, the cost of searching records, obtaining title reports (including foreclosure reports), surveyors’ reports, and appraisal fees and title insurance, to the extent permitted by applicable law.  Grantor also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

NOTICES.  Any notice required to be given under this Mortgage, including without limitation any notice of default and any notice of sale shall be given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Mortgage.  All copies of notices of foreclosure from the holder of any lien which has priority over this Mortgage shall be sent to Lender’s address, as shown near the beginning of this Mortgage.  Any party may change its address for notices under this Mortgage by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party’s address.  For notice purposes, Grantor agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Grantor’s current address.  Unless otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more than one Grantor, any notice given by Lender to any Grantor is deemed to be notice given to all Grantors.

LIEN. The amount of principal obligations outstanding and evidenced by the Note, Related Documents and this Mortgage total $15,000,000.00 but this Mortgage shall nevertheless secure payment and performance of all Indebtedness (as defined herein).

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Grantor represents and warrants that:

Each obligation is a commercial obligation and does not represent a loan used for personal, family or household purposes and is not a consumer transaction.

CHOICE OF VENUE. If there is a lawsuit, Grantor irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

CROSS COLLATERALIZATION. This Mortgage is intended to secure the payment and performance of all Indebtedness, whether now existing or hereinafter incurred by reason of future advances by Lender or otherwise, and regardless of whether such Indebtedness is or was contemplated by the parties as of the date hereof.  This Mortgage is secured by all collateral granted to Lender by Borrower or any endorser hereof or by any other party and shall be secured by any additional collateral hereafter granted to Lender by Borrower or any endorser hereof or by any other party.
