(b) Borrower shall promptly file and prosecute its claims for any Awards in good faith and with due diligence and cause the Awards to be collected and paid over to Lender. Except as provided in Section 6.3 (c), Lender will apply an Award to the payment of the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Note. If Borrower is unable to settle its claims for an Award with due diligence, then Lender may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with the public or quasi-public authority or authorities on the amount to be paid as a result of the Taking or Condemnation. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any Award for any Taking accomplished through a Condemnation and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Mortgage. The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of an Award shall become part of the Indebtedness and be secured hereby and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note.
(c) If, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within a twelve (12) month period and prior to the Maturity Day to an economic unit not materially less valuable and not less useful than the Property was prior to such Condemnation or Taking, and after such restoration will adequately secure the outstanding balance of the Indebtedness, and if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, then Lender shall make the Award (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender) available to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property or part thereof subject to the Condemnation or Taking, in the manner set forth in Section 6.3 (d). Borrower will commence and diligently to prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding; provided, that Borrower shall pay all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in advance) of such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding in excess of the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof.
(d) In the event Borrower is entitled hereunder to reimbursement out of the Award held by Lender, Lender will disburse such proceeds from time to time upon being furnished with (1) evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, (2) funds or, at Lender's option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available, sufficient in addition to the Award to complete the proposed restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding, and (3) such architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other reasonable evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require and approve. Lender may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for such restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding be submitted to and approved by Lender prior to commencement of work. No payment made prior to the final completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than proceeds of the Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding, free and clear of all liens or claims for lien. Any surplus which may remain of the Award held by Lender after payment of such costs of restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding shall be paid to any party entitled thereto.

Lender, with or without entry, personally or by its agents or attorneys, insofar as applicable, may: (1) sell the Property and all estate, right, title and interest, claim and demand therein, and right of redemption thereof, to the extent permitted by and pursuant to the procedures provided by law, at one or more sales, and at such time and place upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law; (2) institute proceedings for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Mortgage; or (3) take such steps to protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit or proceeding in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in the Transaction Documents (without being required to foreclose this Mortgage) or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as Lender shall elect.
(c) Foreclosure and Private Sale. Sell the Property, in whole or in part, pursuant to the procedures and powers set forth in Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 183, Section 21 and Chapter 244, Sections 14 and 15, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference, or by other provisions provided by law including (1) under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (2) at public auction (if permitted by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Property is situated) in such manner, at such time or times and upon such terms as Lender may determine, or as provided by law; and/or sell the Personal Property and/or the Fixtures, in whole or in part, at one or more public or private sales, in such manner, at such time or times and upon such terms as Lender may determine, or as provided by law.
(d) Additional Rights and Remedies. Without notice (other than the notices required by the specific terms of the Transaction Documents), without releasing Borrower from any Obligations, and without becoming a Lender in possession, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any breach or default of Borrower and, in connection therewith, by themselves or their agents or through a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, to enter upon the Property and to do such acts and things as Lender, in its reasonable discretion deems necessary or desirable to protect the security hereof including, but without limitation, to appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Lender hereunder; to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of lien which, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, is prior or superior hereto; to obtain insurance as required hereunder and to pay any Insurance Premiums therefor ; and to employ counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist them.
(e) Other. Exercise any other remedy specifically granted under the Transaction Documents or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise.
21
7.3 Receiver. Lender shall be entitled, as a matter of strict right, without notice and ex parte, and without regard to the value or occupancy of the security, or the solvency of the Borrower or of the Guarantor, or the adequacy of the Property as security for the Indebtedness, to have a receiver appointed to enter upon and take possession of the Property, collect the Rents and profits therefrom and apply the same as the court may direct. Such receiver shall have all the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction where the Property is located. Borrower hereby waives any requirements on the receiver or Lender to post any surety or other bond. Lender or the receiver may also take possession of, and for these purposes use, any and all Personal Property or any part thereof. The expense (including the receiver's fees, counsel fees, costs and agent's compensation) incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured by this Mortgage. Lender shall (after payment of all costs and expenses incurred) apply such Rents, issues and profits received by it on the Indebtedness in the order set forth in this Section 7.3. Lender shall be liable to account only for such Rents, issues and profits actually received by Lender.
7.4 Separate Sales. Any real estate or any interest or estate therein sold pursuant to any non-judicial proceedings or any writ of execution issued on a judgment obtained by virtue of the Transaction Documents, or pursuant to any other judicial proceedings under this Mortgage or the other Transaction Documents, may be sold in one parcel, as an entirety, or in such parcels, and in such manner or order as Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect.
7.5 No Cure or Waiver. Neither Lender's nor any receiver's entry upon and taking possession of all or any part of the Property, nor any collection of Rents, issues, profits, insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds or damages, other security or proceeds of other security, or other sums, nor the application of any collected sum to any Indebtedness and Obligations, nor the exercise of any other right or remedy by Lender or any receiver shall impair the status of the security, or cure or waive any default or notice of default under the Transaction Documents, or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale or prejudice Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy, or be construed as an affirmation by Lender of any tenancy, lease or option or a subordination of the lien of this Mortgage.
7.6 No Conditions Precedent to Exercise of Remedies. Neither Borrower nor any other person now or hereafter obligated for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness (including Guarantor) shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or Guarantor or of any other person so obligated to take action to foreclose on this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents or the Note, or by reason of the release, regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the security held for the Indebtedness, or by reason of any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner of the Property and Lender extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of the Transaction Documents or Note without first having obtained the consent of Borrower, Guarantor or such other person; and in the latter event Borrower, Guarantor and all such other persons shall continue to be liable to make payment according to the terms of any such extension or modification agreement, unless expressly released and discharged in writing by Lender.
7.7 Remedies Cumulative and Concurrent. The rights and remedies of Lender as provided in the Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued separately, successively or together against Borrower or Guarantor or against other obligors or against the Property, or any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise. The failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof, nor shall the choice of one remedy be deemed an election of remedies to the exclusion of other remedies.
22
7.8 Strict Performance. Any failure by Lender to insist upon strict performance by Borrower or Guarantor of any of the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of the Transaction Documents and Lender shall have the right thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Borrower or Guarantor of any and all of them.
7.9. Payment of Costs, Expenses and Attorneys' Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender immediately and without demand all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising the remedies under the Transaction Documents (including but without limit, court costs and attorneys' fees, whether incurred in litigation or not) with interest at the Alternative Applicable Interest Rate , from the date of expenditure until said sums have been paid. Lender shall be entitled to bid, at the sale of the Property held pursuant to the power of sale granted herein or pursuant to any judicial foreclosure of this instrument, the amount of said costs, expenses and interest in addition to the amount of the other Indebtedness and Obligations as a credit bid, the equivalent of cash.
7.10. Waiver of Redemption, Notice, Marshaling, Etc. Borrower hereby waives and releases to the extent allowed by applicable law (a) all benefit that might accrue to Borrower and Guarantor by virtue of any present or future law exempting the Property, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale on execution, or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment; (b) unless specifically required herein, all notices of Borrower's default or of Lender's election to exercise, or Lender's actual exercise, of any option or remedy under the Transaction Documents; (c) any right to have the liens against the Property marshaled; and (d) the right to plead or assert any statute of limitations as a defense or bar to the enforcement of the Transaction Documents.
7.11. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of all or any portion of the Property and the amounts generated by any holding, leasing, operation or other use of the Property shall be applied by Lender (a) first, to the payment of the costs and expenses of taking possession of the Property (which are expressly secured hereby) and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the same (including, without limitation, payment of any Taxes or other taxes and any environmental remediation of the Property); (b) second, to the extent allowed by law, to the payment of attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, including expenses and fees incurred on appeals and legal expenses and fees of a receiver; (c) third, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Indebtedness; and (d) fourth, to the payment of the balance of the Indebtedness. The balance, if any, shall be paid to the parties entitled to receive it.
7.12. Release of Collateral. Lender may release, regardless of consideration, any part of the security held for the Indebtedness or Obligations without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the liens of the Transaction Documents or their priority over any subordinate lien. Without affecting the liability of Borrower, Guarantor or any other person for payment of the Indebtedness or for performance of the Obligations, and without affecting the rights of Lender with respect to any security not expressly released in writing, Lender may, at any time and from time to time, either before or after maturity of the Note, and without notice or consent: (a) release any person liable for payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness or for performance of any Obligations; (b) make any agreement extending the time or otherwise altering terms of payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness, or modifying or waiving any Obligation, or subordinating, modifying or otherwise dealing with the lien or charge hereof; (c) exercise or refrain from exercising or waive any right Lender may have; (d) accept additional security of any kind; and (e) release or otherwise deal with any property, real or personal, securing the Indebtedness, including all or any part of the Property.
23
7.13. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In the event Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under the Transaction Documents and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then in every such case Borrower, Guarantor and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and the rights, remedies and powers of Lender shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.
8. Secondary Market/Securitization Transactions.
8.1. Transfer of Loan. Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Mortgage and the other Transaction Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant Participations therein, or issue Securities. Lender may forward to each Investor, prospective Investor, Rating Agency involved in the rating of such Securities, and any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Indebtedness and to Borrower, any Guarantor, any Lessee and the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor, any Lessee or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under Applicable Laws to prohibit such disclosure, including, without limitation, any right of privacy.
8.2. Cooperation. Borrower agrees, and Borrower shall cause any Guarantor and any Lessee to, cooperate with Lender in connection with any transfer made or any Securities contemplated by this Article 8, including, without limitation, the delivery of an estoppel certificate required in accordance with Section 8.3, such documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender and the information described below. Borrower shall also furnish to Lender, and consents to Lender furnishing to such Investors or such prospective Investors or such Rating Agency, any and all information concerning the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of Borrower, any Guarantor and any Lessee as may be requested by Lender, any Investor, any prospective Investor or any Rating Agency in connection with any sale or transfer of the Loan, any Participation or issuance of Securities.
8.3 Estoppel Certificates. (a) After request by Lender, Borrower, within ten (10) days, shall furnish Lender or any proposed assignee with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (1) the original principal amount of the Note, (2) the unpaid principal amount of the Note, (3) the rate of interest of the Note, (4) the terms of payment and maturity date of the Note, (5) the date installments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (6) that, except as provided in such statement, there are no Events of Default or events which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Note or the Mortgage, (7) that the Note and this Mortgage are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification, (8) whether any offsets or defenses exist against the obligations secured hereby and, if any are alleged to exist, a detailed description thereof, (9) that all Leases are in full force and effect and have not been modified (or if modified, setting forth all modifications), (10) the date to which the Rents thereunder have been paid pursuant to the Leases, (11) whether or not, to the best knowledge of Borrower, any of the lessees under the Leases are in default under the Leases, and, if any of the lessees are in default, setting forth the specific nature of all such defaults, (12) the amount of security deposits held by Borrower under each Lease and that such amounts are consistent with the amounts required under each Lease, and (13) as to any other matters reasonably requested by Lender and reasonably related to the Leases, the obligations secured hereby, the Property or this Mortgage.
24
(b) Borrower shall use its best efforts to deliver to Lender, promptly upon request, duly executed estoppel certificates from any one or more lessees as required by Lender attesting to such facts regarding the Lease as Lender may require, including, without limitation, attestations that each Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect with no defaults thereunder on the part of any party, that none of the Rents have been paid more than one month in advance, and that the lessee claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its obligations under the Lease.
(c) Upon any transfer or proposed transfer contemplated by Section 8.1 above, at Lender’s request, Borrower shall, and shall cause any Guarantor and any Lessee to, provide an estoppel certificate to the Investor or any prospective Investor in such form, substance and detail as Lender, such Investor or prospective Investor may require.
9. General Provisions.
9.1 Further Assurances. Upon the request of Lender, Borrower will, at the sole cost of Borrower, execute and deliver to Lender, in form satisfactory to Lender, such further instruments (including, without limitation, financing statements, estoppel certificates and declarations of no set-off) and do such further acts as may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of the Transaction Documents, to facilitate the assignment or transfer of the Transaction Documents, and to create, perfect and preserve Lender's liens upon the Property and Personal Property. Upon any failure by Borrower to execute and deliver such instruments, certificates and other documents on or before fifteen (15) days after receipt of written request therefore, Lender may, at the sole cost of Borrower, make, execute and record any and all such instruments, certificates, and other documents, and Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower to do so. Borrower authorizes Lender to record and file this Mortgage or any financing statements to perfect its security interest in the Personal Property, Fixtures and Leases and Rents and to execute Borrower's name on such financing statement.
9.2 Notice. All notices and other communications required under the Transaction Documents shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given (a) upon delivery, if delivered in person or by facsimile transmission with receipt acknowledged by the recipient thereof and confirmed by telephone by sender, (b) one (1) business day after having been deposited for overnight delivery with any reputable overnight courier service, or (c) three (3) business days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service and sent by U. S. certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the party for whom it is intended at the Borrower's Address or the Lender's Address, as the case may be. Any party may designate a change of address by written notice to the other, giving at least ten (10) business days before such change of address is to become effective.
9.3 Maximum Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in the Transaction Documents, the total liability of Borrower under the Loan for Interest Payments shall not exceed the Legal Rate. In the event the Interest Payments for any month or other interest payment period exceed the Legal Rate, Lender shall apply all Interest Payments collected in excess of the Legal Rate for the period in question to the outstanding Principal Balance as of the date of receipt. Further, upon notice to Borrower, Lender may waive, reduce or limit the collection of any Interest Payments in excess of the Legal Rate.
25
9.4. Expenses. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with the administration, servicing, performance and enforcement of, and collection of all amounts due under, the Transaction Documents, including without limitation, fees and disbursements of Lender's attorneys, recording and filing expenses, conveyance fees, documentary stamps, recordation taxes, intangible and other taxes, surveys, appraisals, environmental site assessments, and title insurance policies, physical damage insurance, liability insurance, and any other costs incurred by Lender. Borrower shall pay Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender, all of the foregoing costs and expenses incurred by Lender.
9.5. No Representations by Lender. By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to the Transaction Documents, including without limitation any officer's certificate, survey, appraisal or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto by Lender.
9.6. Lender's Right to Perform the Obligations. Time is of the essence. If Borrower shall fail to make any payment or perform any act required by the Transaction Documents, then Lender, upon lapse of any grace or notice periods and without further notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Borrower, as Lender elects. All reasonable and necessary sums so paid by Lender, and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Alternative Applicable Interest Rate , shall constitute additions to the Indebtedness, and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender, on demand. If Lender shall elect to pay any Taxes and/or Other Charges, Lender may do so in reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate public office, without inquiring into the accuracy thereof or into the validity of any such Taxes and/or Other Charges.
9.7. Severability. In case any one or more of the Obligations shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the Transaction Documents and remaining Obligations shall be in no way affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.
9.8. Modification. The Transaction Documents and the terms of each of them may not be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is asserted.
9.9. Applicable Law. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
9.10. Headings, Etc. The article headings and the section and subsection captions are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter or modify the text of such articles, sections and subsections. Whenever used, the singular number shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular.
26
9.11. Replacement Documents. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any other Transaction Document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other Transaction Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Transaction Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or other Transaction Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.
9.12. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN, THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN, THE NOTE, THIS MORTGAGE, OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS OR AGENTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
9.13. Mortgage Covenants and Statutory Condition. This Mortgage is given with Mortgage Covenants and is made upon the Statutory Condition contained in Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 183, Sections 19 and 20, respectively, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference, for any breach of which Mortgagee shall have the Statutory Power of Sale.
