(a) the payment of amounts from time to time due pursuant to the terms of a certain Term Note of even date made by the Borrower to the order of the Bank in the principal amount of Twenty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00) (the “Note”), at the times, in the manner and with interest all as more fully provided therein (including any and all renewals, extensions, amendments and rewritings thereof and advances thereunder, all now or hereafter made); and

 

(b) the performance of all covenants and agreements contained in the Note and this Mortgage; and

 

(c) the payment and performance of all obligations of the Borrower under any interest rate swap agreement, foreign exchange contract, any cap, floor or hedging agreement or other similar agreement, or other financial agreement or arrangement designed to protect the Borrower against fluctuations in any interest rate charged by the Bank under the Note (a “Swap Contract”).

 

The “Mortgaged Property” shall mean: real estate with all buildings and improvements thereon located at 50 Old Webster Road, Oxford, Massachusetts, as more fully described on Exhibit A attached hereto, together with all rights of way or uses, servitudes, licenses, tenements, rents, leases, hereditaments, appurtenances, easements and other rights now or hereafter existing, belonging or pertaining thereto; all fixtures and other articles of every kind and nature whatsoever now or hereafter owned or leased by the Borrower and used or procured for use in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Premises, insofar as the same are, or can by agreement of the parties be made, a part of the real estate, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any and all boilers, pumps, tanks, electric panel switchboards, lighting equipment and wiring, heating, plumbing and ventilating apparatus, sprinklers, if any, elevators, escalators, refrigerating, air conditioning and air-cooling equipment and other building service equipment (said real estate, improvements, rights, fixtures and other articles being collectively called the “Premises”); and all fixtures owned or leased by the Borrower and now or hereafter placed in or on and used in connection with the operation or maintenance of the Premises and all contract rights, accounts, leases, rents and general intangibles pertaining to the Premises, whether now owned or hereafter acquired; all additions, replacements, improvements and accessions with respect to the foregoing; all products of the foregoing; all proceeds of the foregoing; and all judgments, awards of damage, settlements, takings or payments of insurance covering any of the foregoing (collectively called the “Collateral”).

 

1.2 Assignment of Rents and Leases.

 

(a) For the purpose of further securing the payment of the Mortgage Debt and the performance of all of the Borrower’s obligations under the Note, this Mortgage and any Swap Contract, the Borrower assigns to the Bank all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under all leases covering any portion of the Mortgaged Property and the right to collect rents under any other oral or written occupancy agreement covering any portion of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(b) This Assignment is made on the following terms and conditions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, namely:

 

(1) So long as there shall exist no Event of Default as defined in the Loan Agreement by and between the Bank and the Borrower dated of even date herewith, as from time to time amended or restated (the “Loan Agreement”), the Borrower shall be entitled to collect all rents under all leases and occupancy agreements; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not collect any rental or other payment under a lease or occupancy agreement more than one (1) month in advance of the time that it is due under the terms of the lease or occupancy agreement.  The Borrower shall not enter into any lease or occupancy agreement covering any portion of the Mortgaged Property without the Bank’s prior written consent and no change or modification may be made in the terms of any leases without the Bank’s prior written consent.  The Borrower agrees that both before and after any Event of Default it will fully perform all of its obligations under any lease or occupancy agreement and will do nothing to impair its or their value as security for the Mortgage Debt.

 

(2) Upon or at any time after an Event of Default the Bank, without in any way waiving such Event of Default, at the Bank’s option, without notice and without regard to the adequacy of any other security held by it, may collect all rents under any leases and occupancy agreements and exercise all of the Borrower’s rights under any lease or occupancy agreement.  The Bank shall not be required to take possession of any portion of the Mortgaged Property to entitle it to the rents and profits emanating therefrom or payable with respect thereto.

 

(3) The Bank shall not be liable for any loss sustained by the Borrower by reason of the Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Assignment nor shall the Bank be deemed to have assumed any of the Borrower’s obligations under any lease or occupancy agreement covering any portion of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(4) The Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Bank from any and all liability, loss or damage which may or might be incurred by the Bank by virtue of this Assignment or any action taken by the Bank in exercise of its rights conferred by this Assignment.

 

(5) The affidavit, certificate or statement of any officer, agent or attorney of the Bank shall be and constitute conclusive evidence of the validity, effectiveness and continuing force of this Assignment and any person may and is hereby authorized to rely thereon.  The Borrower hereby directs all lessees and tenants under any leases and occupancy agreements to rely conclusively on any notice received from any officer, agent or attorney of the Bank to the effect that an Event of Default as described in this Mortgage exists and/or that the Bank has the right to exercise the rights of the Borrower under any lease or occupancy agreement.

 

(6) The Borrower agrees that it will not make any further assignment or other transfer of its right, title and interest under any lease or occupancy agreement.

2.1 Legal Proceedings.  There is no action, suit, proceeding (including, without limitation, any condemnation proceeding and any proceeding in the nature of bankruptcy or for reorganization or arrangement) or investigation at law or in equity before or by any court or public board or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property, or to the knowledge of the Borrower, any basis therefor, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets or financial condition of the Borrower or its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the Mortgaged Property, or the transactions contemplated by the Note and this Mortgage, or which in any way would adversely affect the validity of the Note and this Mortgage.

 

2.2 Compliance with Law; Consents.  The Borrower is not in violation of any term or provision of any mortgage, lease, agreement or other instrument which is material to its business or assets, or of any judgment, decree, governmental order, statute, rule or regulation by which it is bound or to which it or any of its assets is subject.  The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Mortgage will not violate or constitute a default under any term or provision of any mortgage, lease, agreement or other instrument, or any judgment, decree, governmental order, statute, rule or regulation by which the Borrower is bound or to which any of its assets is subject.  No approval by, authorization of, or filing with any federal, state, or municipal or other governmental commission, board, or agency or other governmental authority is necessary in connection with the execution and delivery of this Mortgage by the Borrower.

3.4 Taxes and Governmental Charges.  Upon written request therefor by the Bank after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall thereafter pay to the Bank on each payment date under the Note, in addition to the payments therein required, a monthly apportionment of one-twelfth (1/12th) of the sum estimated by the Bank to be sufficient to make all payments of all real estate taxes and governmental charges and assessments upon the Mortgaged Property as they become due and any balance due for any such payments shall be paid by the Borrower to the Bank upon demand.  The Bank is hereby specifically authorized to pay when due or at any time thereafter all of said payments and to charge the same to the account of the Borrower.  No interest shall be paid or credited with respect to any amounts paid by the Borrower under this Section.

3.9 Commercial Transaction.  This Mortgage evidences a commercial transaction and not a consumer, family, household or agricultural transaction.

 

3.10 Hazardous Waste.

 

(a) For the purpose of this Mortgage, the term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any “oil”, “hazardous material”, “hazardous wastes” or “hazardous substances” as defined in any federal, state or local law governing the existence, release, generation, storage or disposal of any hazardous materials, and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto (collectively, the “Hazardous Waste Laws”), and shall include, without limitation (whether or not included in the definition contained in said statutes), asbestos, petroleum products and chemicals which would be materially dangerous to the environment or to human beings.

 

(b) The Borrower does hereby warrant and represent to the Bank that (i) the Borrower has never released, generated, stored (except in compliance with Hazardous Waste Laws) or disposed of any Hazardous Materials on the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the Borrower is not aware of the existence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Materials on the Mortgaged Property or on any properties adjacent to the Mortgaged Property, and (iii) the Borrower has not received any notice, order, claim or demand from any governmental authority with respect to the existence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Materials on or about the Mortgaged Property.

 

(c) (1)           The Borrower shall not release, generate or dispose of any Hazardous Materials in, to or on the Mortgaged Property or in, to or on any properties adjacent to the Mortgaged Property; and

 

       (2)           In the event that any Hazardous Materials are found on the Mortgaged Property, the Borrower shall immediately contain and remove the same in compliance with all Hazardous Waste Laws.

 

(d) If the Borrower is a potentially responsible party, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by the Bank, other than claims directly and proximately resulting from the conduct of the Bank (but not any omission of the Bank), including attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, arising from the release, existence or removal, whether now or hereafter and whether before or after payment in full of the Mortgage Debt, of any Hazardous Materials on the Mortgaged Property or on any properties adjacent to the Mortgaged Property.  This indemnification shall survive the loan secured hereby, notwithstanding any cancellation or discharge of this Mortgage.

 

(e) If deemed reasonably necessary after the occurrence of an Event of Default or if required by applicable banking regulations, the Bank, at its election and in its sole discretion and with notice to the Borrower, may at any time and from time to time, cause one or more environmental site assessments of the Mortgaged Property to be undertaken at the Borrower’s cost and expense.  Environmental site assessments may include a detailed visual inspection of the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry wells, and leaching areas, as well as the taking of soil samples, surface water samples, and ground water samples and such other investigation or analysis as is necessary or appropriate for a complete assessment of the compliance of the Mortgaged Property and the use and operation thereof with all Hazardous Waste Laws.

 

(f) The Bank, at its election and in its sole discretion and with initial notice only to the Borrower, may (but shall not be obligated to) cure any failure on the part of the Borrower, or any occupant of the Mortgaged Property to comply with the Hazardous Waste Laws, including, without limitation the following:

 

(1) arrange for the cleanup or containment of Hazardous Materials found in or on the Mortgaged Property and pay for such cleanup and containment costs and costs associated therewith;

 

(2) pay on behalf of the Borrower or any occupant of the Mortgaged Property, any fines or penalties imposed on the Borrower or any occupant by any federal, state, or local governmental agency or authority in connection with such Hazardous Materials; and

 

(3) make any other payment or perform any other act which may prevent a release of Hazardous Materials, facilitate the cleanup thereof, and/or prevent a lien from attaching to the Mortgaged Property.

 

Any partial exercise by the Bank of the remedies hereinabove set forth or any partial undertaking on the part of the Bank to cure the failure of the Borrower or any occupant of the Mortgaged Property to comply with the Hazardous Waste Laws, shall not obligate the Bank to complete the actions taken or require the Bank to expend further sums to cure the Borrower’s or any such occupant’s noncompliance; neither shall the exercise of any such remedies operate to place upon the Bank any responsibility for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property or make the Bank the “owner” or “operator” of the Mortgaged Property or a “responsible party” within the meaning of the Hazardous Waste Laws.

 

Any amounts paid or costs incurred by the Bank as a result of any of the above, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in the Note from the date of payment, shall be immediately due and payable by the Borrower to the Bank, and until paid shall be added to and become a part of the Mortgage Debt, and the same may be collected as part of said obligations in any suit herein or upon the Note or any other instrument included in the Collateral or upon a foreclosure of this Mortgage; and the Bank, by making any such payment or incurring any such costs, shall be subrogated to any rights of the Borrower or any occupant of the Mortgaged Property to seek reimbursement from any third parties, including, without limitation, a predecessor in interest to the Borrower’s title or a predecessor to the occupant’s use of the Mortgaged Property, who may be a “responsible party” under the Hazardous Waste Laws, in connection with the presence of such Hazardous Materials in, on or near the Mortgaged Property.

 

4.	Events of Default; Defaults.

 

This Mortgage is on the STATUTORY CONDITION and upon the further condition that there shall exist no Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or the Note, the occurrence of any of which, beyond any applicable grace period, shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder. The Borrower agrees to notify the Bank promptly in writing of the occurrence of any Event of Default.

 

5.	Acceleration.

 

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Bank may, at its option and without notice declare the entire Mortgage Debt then outstanding to be due and payable immediately, and, upon such declaration, all principal and interest accrued thereon shall automatically be and become immediately due and payable.

 

6.	Surrender of Possession of Mortgaged Property; Foreclosure.

 

Upon demand by the Bank after the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Mortgage, the Borrower shall forthwith surrender the possession of, and the Bank, by such officer or agent as it may appoint, may lawfully take possession of, all or part of the Mortgaged Property together with the related books, papers and accounts of the Borrower.  The Bank may (but is under no obligation to do so) then hold, operate and manage the same and make such repairs and improvements as the Bank shall deem advisable; the Bank may lease the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and collect, receive and sequester the rents, and other income, charges and moneys therefrom or received from any receiver; and set up proper reserves or pay all proper costs and expenses, including reasonable compensation to the Bank, its agents, and counsel, and any charges of the Bank hereunder, and any taxes and assessments and other charges prior or subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage which the Bank may deem it advisable to pay.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the lien of this Mortgage may be foreclosed in the manner provided by law, including without limitation the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE and the exercise of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.  The Bank may become the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property at any foreclosure sale where it is the highest bidder.

 

The Borrower agrees that if the Bank in the exercise of the statutory power of sale elects to sell the Mortgaged Property in parcels, such sales may be held from time to time and that the power of sale shall not be exhausted until all the Mortgaged Property, not previously released, shall have been sold.

 

Notice mailed to the Borrower at least ten (10) days before any sale shall constitute reasonable notification of such sale.

 

7.	Other Remedies; Rights of the Bank.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank may pursue any available remedy to enforce the payment of principal and interest and late charges, if any, on the Note and/or the payment or performance of the Borrower’s obligations with respect to any other part of the Mortgage Debt.

 

No remedy under this Mortgage is intended to be exclusive, and each remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy hereunder now or hereafter existing.

 

No delay or omission to exercise any right or power shall impair such right or power or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and each such right and power may be exercised as often as deemed expedient.

 

No waiver by the Bank of any Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default.

 

The Borrower, to the fullest extent that the Borrower may do so, hereby waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of the Borrower, including the Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of a sale hereunder of the Mortgaged Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any statute or rule of law pertaining to the marshalling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, or other matters whatever to defeat, reduce or affect the rights of the Bank under the terms of this Mortgage or the Note to a sale of the Mortgaged Property for the collection of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of the Bank to the payment of such indebtedness out of the proceeds of sale of the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other claimant whatever.

 

8.

Setoff.

 

Upon notice of an Event of Default, the Bank may, regardless of the adequacy of and without being required to first look to anything by which the Mortgage Debt is secured, apply to or set off against the Mortgage Debt any deposit or other sum from time to time credited by or due from the Bank to the Borrower.

 

9.	Agreement to Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses.

 

If the Bank should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the enforcement or performance or observance of any obligation, right or agreement herein contained, the Borrower agrees that it will on demand therefor reimburse the Bank for the reasonable fee of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred.  If not paid immediately upon demand, such expenses or costs shall bear interest at the Default Rate provided in the Note.

 

10.	Protection of the Bank’s Security.

 

    If the Borrower shall fail to perform any obligation hereunder or if any action or proceeding is commenced which materially affects the Bank’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to proceedings with respect to eminent domain, insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements and proceedings involving a bankrupt or decedent, then the Bank, at the Bank’s option, may disburse funds for the performance of such obligations or the making of such appearances and/or taking such action as the Bank shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, repair and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property, obtaining insurance for the Mortgaged Property, paying real estate taxes or other municipal charges or assessments on the Mortgaged Property and engaging attorneys, appraisers and expert witnesses; and any amounts disbursed by the Bank for the purpose of protecting its interest in the Mortgaged Property shall become part of the Mortgage Debt secured by this Mortgage and unless the Borrower and the Bank otherwise agree, all amounts so disbursed to protect the Bank’s interest in the Mortgaged Property shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate from time to time applicable to the Note.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the Bank shall never be required to incur any expense or to take any action hereunder.

 

The performance by the Bank of any obligation of the Borrower which the Borrower has failed to perform shall not be deemed a waiver or cure of the Default and the Event of Default shall be deemed to continue.

 

11.	Late Charges.

 

In the event that any installment of principal and/or interest remains unpaid for fifteen (15) days after the date it is due, the Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to two (2%) percent of the late payment.

 

12.	Transfer of Mortgaged Premises.

 

If the legal or beneficial ownership of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, becomes vested in anyone other than the Borrower, the whole sum of principal and interest then remaining unpaid shall become immediately due and payable without notice at the option of the Bank and/or the Bank may, without notice to the Borrower, deal with such successors in interest with reference to the Mortgage and the Mortgage Debt hereby secured, and in the same manner as with the Borrower, without in any way altering or discharging the Borrower’s liability hereunder or upon the Mortgage Debt.  The Borrower agrees that upon any such transfer, the Borrower shall remain permanently liable for the Mortgage Debt and hereby waives any defense available to sureties and consents to the exchange or release of any Collateral, extensions for time of payment, the release of one or more persons liable for the Mortgage Debt and changes in the amount of the Mortgage Debt, the terms of payment and/or the interest rate and agrees that all or any such events to which such consent is herein given may occur on one or more occasions.

 

The Borrower assigns to the Bank and directs that there shall be paid to the Bank the proceeds of any awards for damages in connection with any condemnation or other taking of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or for conveyance in lieu of condemnation.  The Bank, in its sole discretion, shall use such proceeds as it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interest.  If the Mortgaged Property is abandoned by the Borrower or if the Borrower fails after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from the Bank to negotiate a reasonable settlement with the condemnor or an offer to make an award, the Bank may collect and apply the proceeds of such an award at the Bank’s option either to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or to satisfaction of the Mortgage Debt.

 

13.
